petroniaI appear to have sl0red Remiel on Honoo no Mirage.
I have not, personally, seen or read Honoo no Mirage.
My Japanese is in *no* wise good enough to read Honoo no Mirage. I don't expect it to be good enough to follow the Japanese history/occultism in the anime raw.
Remiel's Japanese is.
Apart from being a brand-spanking-new anime fansub, Honoo no Mirage is also a 30-volume novel series.
Those of you across the pond may be able to hear me laugh.
If you listen carefully.
...
Figure-skating judging is corrupt. No one who watches the "sport" more than occasionally will be surprised, and even less that it's always the Canadians getting shafted. (That roaring sound you hear in the distance would be Dick Pound, whose face is the one that comes to mind when I hear the phrase "I do not suffer fools".) I keep tuning in, though: figure-skating rides a line between high art and high tack that fascinates me, and you're never sure which you're going to get. Also, I've been watching this for so long I remember Tracy Wilson before she was a commentator. ...Which would make it 14 years. Jesus. That was before it got taken over by fresh-faced junior-high-school American girls on the one hand, and pretty blond Russian boys about the right age for my sister on the other. (Does Evgeny Plushenko being slutty on centre ice count as corrupting the judges? He got a better mark than he deserved. I wish I could say that I mind, but honesty compels me. Someone should really tell him Irina Slutskaya does Biellman spins because it's a girl move. On second thought, maybe not.)
...
I am not doing too well at keeping this the ficlog. Well, how about this: I *have* a Valentine's Day bunny. Two, really. One is IniD, involving Keisuke and an absolutely *lethal* dose of confectionary WAFF. The other one (Hearts' Day - whose was that? Talya's, wasn't it?) kicks off the Great Hilde Whatsit, as soon as I get the timeline sorted out on paper. Chronology is always the main bitch when one's writing diary/epistolary.
...I have an assignment handin at five, and another at midnight.
Don't hold your breath, you could hurt yourself that way. XD

Date: 2002-02-14 09:24 am (UTC)Honoo no Mirage.
Date: 2002-02-15 03:17 pm (UTC)And my Japanese is leagues inferior to yours, but I'm an occultism wh0re and I like pain, sooo...
I assume by 'novel' you mean 'huge-ass fat tankouban'?
Randomly: if I actually clean up my translation of FFS #2 and finish it off, could you check it over for errors and blatant suckiness? I have a bunch of notes that with work could be a decent if sparse translation, and I'm getting cranky enough to put them on the web somewhere, embarassment factor aside.
Re: Honoo no Mirage.
Date: 2002-02-15 04:40 pm (UTC)The fansubs are coming down Streamload as we speak. According once again to Remiel, who has books full of occult Bouddhist chants and whatnot, the translations are excellent.
I'll check over the FFS, for sure. But you know I still owe you C&C, right? Right.
