I hate to be that person, but ... "Still going to be translating all Doramatsu, even the upcoming new ones." ... What happened?

Hi! Hmm, that was around the time that I was dealing with an online stalker and trying to change jobs, so I had other things on my mind. I will say that I keep my word with translations, but I don’t know when specifically that I can finish these. There are other people who are talented in translation surely, if you would rather not wait for something so vague. It’s such a big fandom.

Hey idk if you still plan on subbing yowapeda drama second season but someone just posted the whole thing with japanese subtitles on nyaa.

Thanks a bunch for letting me know! I probably can’t finish it right away, but it’s helpful that the subs are already timed and that it comes out as 1080p! (the boxsets I got only go up to 720p) I’ll look into it.

[gb-asks]

hello, are you still working on the subs for the second joker game stage play? thank you so much for subbing the first!

Hi there! Yep, I’m definitely still working on it! I’m stuck right now because I had trouble encoding from my bluray actually; what I have so far ends up with a lot of combing through the interlaced video... I’m asking my more knowledgeable friends for advice, but I do want to research the different methods to fix this and figure it out for myself so I know how to use it in the future. In the meantime, it’s very much a work in progress! 

I can’t wait until you get to see the 2nd JG stageplay subbed, I love it a lot!

Hi GB! Sorry to bother, where can I find your translations of osomatsu-san light novels? I can not access to your main blog or find the donor page.

Hi, the main blog username has been changed, so please look for the post under “cosmic-blaster.” If you have trouble, you can also email me privately.

[gb-asks]

Sorry to bother you, but I was trying to look at your page that has all the pedal trivia and it's not working. The link is different from the standard tumblr post link, and when i change great-blaster to cosmic-blaster, it ends up sending me to my tumblr dashboard so i was wondering it it was a glitch with how my computer receives information from tumblr or something...

Here you go:

Hello! This is completely random but thanks so much for all your translating work and info gathering for the pedal fandom in particular~ I've been a huge huge fan of the series for many years and thanks to all your hard work, I learn so much about my faves even as a non-jp speaker! Just want to say that I really appreciate everything you do

Thank you ❤❤❤

Hello! Thank you for your hard work! Sorry for bothering but do you intend on sub the second Joker Game stage? Once more, sorry for being annoying, I'm sure you've been bombarded enought with this question.

Hello, you’re not being annoying at all! I love talking to JG fans. Yes, I will be subbing the 2nd stage. My friend has helped me a lot with most of the timing work on a streaming video (not the official release, so there may be differences but), so it’s not too bad. Since it’s one of the longest stageplays that I’ve ever seen though (almost 3 hours!), I can’t say for certain when I’ll be able to finish it. 

[gb-asks]

Hey I don't know if you still check this blog, but I finally watched Yowamushi Pedal and I'm obsessed (I know I'm super late). I think your blog had all the earlier pedal sign trivia, but when I click on it, it asks me to enter a password. Do you know if there's anywhere else to find the trivia? (Japanese is fine too)

Hello, please change great-blaster to cosmic-blaster in the URL and you’ll find the links intact.

A lot of people from the Free! fandom really miss you. Why you are not here with us anymore?

Aw, thank you. It was a mix of many things: wanting to avoid certain people that made me furious, to disengage myself from fandom drama, and mainly not feeling as strongly for the series anymore. At about the end of the second series, that multitude all came to head and I found that I wasn’t enjoying myself anymore, so I decided to remove myself. It’s sweet that you miss me, though. I wasn’t expecting this message. Thank you.

hello hope ur having a good day!! i just recently found out abt puzzlematsu and tried downloading it as an apk. when i open the app this msg (i attached a screenshot) appears. if its not much trouble could u tell me what it says/what can i do to play? it wont let me close the msg box. tysm in advace! if u cant help me thats kewl tho. Hv a nice day/nite!! xoxo

Hi, it says that the operating system which you are using is not in a “legal state,” so it cannot play the game for you. I’m not sure what to do in this situation so that you can play the game... Sorry! 

[gb-asks]

Hey GB! Do you know anything about the possible Osomatsu San season 2 announcement floating around?

I only know as much as the rest of you guys do, that it’s the title for an extra episode in the upcoming dvd for the Ouma stories collection. Episode 24 and 25 have left me very skeptical about whether this news is real a not... Could it be real, or could it just be the joke of the episode? 

Also, I’m not sure if Irino (Todomatsu’s voice actor) has already left for his studies abroad or not... That needs to be taken into consideration too... 

[gb-asks]

hello! is it true that Midousuji's seiyuu in english is Tim Allen??? OwO

I have no idea if this is true or not, but that’s funny.

Hi GB! Sorry to bother you, but I was just wondering if you know if the new dramatsu cds that are coming out are gonna be available to buy digitally somewhere? I'm interested in getting them, but I don't have anything to play physical cds on unfortunately. Thanks in advance!

Hi, unfortunately drama CDs are not usually provided digitally because they use a lot of data, both to store and to stream/download. Not many companies, therefore, choose to do this and the dramatsu CDs are no exception.

Hello, it's the "can't play the game without crashing" anon again. I haven't deleted the game yet (since i practically have ten gold jyushi's i'm not willing to give up) I don't really want to be much if a burden by bothering you with my problem, but if you can help me that would be awesome *^*

No problem, just shoot me an email with subject heading “HKW GB-ASKS” in capital letters so I don’t miss it. Email is onkeikun at gmail dot com

Just to clarify that I have it correct, you’re using an iOS that keeps crashing at lvl 70 in the main stage? I need to know when it crashes (mid-game or when you try to enter, etc) and what happens (are you forced out of the game, or does it freeze, etc)

[gb-asks]

Is the last doramatsu translation still coming? Sorry to be a bother!

Sure is! Still going to be translating all Doramatsu, including the upcoming new ones. 

[gb-asks]

Hello, goodday! I was the anon with the "can't play the game without crashing" problem. First I would like to say thank you for replying so fast but unfortunately the game is still crashing whenever i try playing lvl 70. I guess i'll just delete it. Its practically unplayable since its always crashing whenever i play a level. Thank you again. ❤️

I’m sorry to hear that. :(  If you haven’t deleted it yet, we can try contacting support. 

[gb-asks]

hey gb! when can we expect the first novel translations to be out?

No specific date, but soon! I’m stuck now with the stories that are not as translatable, but I still have the task of keeping the fun in them. Then moving on to the fanbook.
