Please folks...
I love that you love me and the show, but Nya is a triangle of love. All three of us work for it, and yes Blue works the hardest. Honestly I work the least out of all of us, but that's a personal story.
Instead of saying something like "*** is the best drama you are doing", try and say "I like ***'s story the best!" It really does make a difference.
I couldn't do SU without's Blue's translations. These are some hard 'vocab' words, and I'll never be at her level because she's a true bilingual. So love her too, please.

well, what i mean by hentai is that the plot is about them trying to have sex. And there are naked women and men. Is this not the definition of hentai? IDK, I may be wrong. (actually, in japanese, hentai just means anything perverted) Although it is funny to see them all trying to get laid. ^___^ Man, I can't even think of Nino getting laid with anyone, that's just...idk. Although if it's Leader....*DIES* although I'm perfectly fine with Shun and Narunaru getting laid with me. XDDDD Okay, so hentai doesn't bother me too much, but there are girls involved, so...*IS KILLED LIEK WOAH*
As for MBMH, i think all the actors did a good job. Although I think their character roles were so much like their real personalities that it wasn't really acting, so yeah...I adore Tegoshi as a singer more than an actor, though. I mean, the boy has a voice of an angel imo. *swoons*
NE-way, as Setsuna said. Saying "THIS DRAMA IS THE BEST YOU ARE DOING" as opposed to "I LIKE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH OMG YAY" really does make a difference. I mean, it's almost as if you're saying the rest of nya sucks, but as long as we do stand up, it's okay if the rest of nya didn't exist. So plz be more considerate about your words, ne? ^____^ Cause srsly, it kinda makes the rest of us feel depressed and unwanted *goes off into a corner to emo*

Just a brief definition of what "Hentai" stands for as a clarification:
In the anime world (is assuming that that's where the word originally got recognized as having the meaning), Hentai means straight out porn. Well in Japanese, Hentai can have more than one meaning.
The common definition is to be a pervert, or someone being sexually perverted, abnormal or kinky. That means both thinking and doing perverted things. Now, at the same time, Hentai can also mean a transformation or metamorphosis of something. For an example, a tadpole to a frog. (Oh gosh! Why in the world did I have to use such a thing as an example...*hates frogs/toads with a passion!><;*).
So basically what Hime was saying is that even though they are not necessarily having/showing sex on TV (though they suggest), the whole story line is fully saturated with sexual context and content that is considered Hentai in the Japanese society. Therefore, Hime's definition of Hentai is correct in this sense. If you don't believe me, look it up in a dictionary or ask a native. I'm sure they'll say the same thing.

whoa whoa whoa, honest mistake, seriously. Ok, I did misunderstand the concept of "solo project".. easy to do seeing as even people who don't speak Italian know that solo means single. It's a simple mistake, and easy to correct without alienating a fan. Seriously, I was PRAISING your work. Would it hurt to accept it without jumping down my throat for a mistake I've seen several other people make?
I LOVE your subs. I take the time to thank you for your hard work, and even if I mistakingly thank the wrong person, I'm still praising YOU.
I don't understand the big problem here, you don't do all this work just to get a few people on the forum to put your name in lights, do you? You translate, edit, time, and perfect these subs because you're FANS. It's out of the kindness of your heart. Don't cheapen it. And don't get me wrong, I still admire your hard work, but maybe if you're going to get so worked up over a simple mistake then you should take a break, calm down, and get some perspective.
I was only trying to give a compliment. Next time I won't bother just on the off chance I again make a mistake when it comes to who I should direct it towards. After all, what's the point in thanking someone if they won't even accept it?

Hentai = pervert SU = perverted boys trying to have sex
It's hentai, too bad.
Aerish >> It's okay. Thank you for the praise. You don't have to stop! SU is just a touchy subject within the group... seeing that it's my project, and one of our most anticipated ones... And my habit of getting it out slow ever since I moved to Japan a year ago has created nothing but thorns in the group. (Actually ALL of Nya got slowed down when I physically seperated from the group, and it's been our personal issue for a while) People complain that Nya is slow or something, when really its just me being slow on SU that they are complaining about. And then Nya's name gets dragged through the mud. Hime and Blue get really hurt when they see that. They like to be praised too, and that means appraisal on our other projects as well. We take Nya waaaaaay too seriously, and we know it. But of course we also understand its all about your personal taste in plots... we just wish you'd watch EVERYTHING we do! *heeheehee*
So yes, we're all fans... lets all have nothing but fan-ly love!

First off, we do appreciate everyone's comments. And no, we're not in it to get any glory or anything, but just picture if you spent all your time doing something for people, or lets just say it's a project that you have to do for school and there's a group of people doing it. But then only one person gets all the praise when all of you did equal amounts of work. That kinda hurts. A lot. I mean, wouldn't it? I really don't have any part of SU whatsoever, but I'm over here watching Blue get upset because she feels everyone's forgotten about her. And it really sucks to be forgotten.
As for a break, we did try to take a break from nya. And then ppl started yelling at us for 'leaving projects hanging.' It's a lose lose situation, really. And besides, even when we try to take a break, we start doing Nya anyways (we're such nerds...)
Neways, lets just forget about 'solo projects' and just say they are 'nya projects' with a wonderful overseer, because all of us are in this together whether we like it or not (in my case, not, cause omg Pi *makes gagging noises*) ^__________________^

Setsuna just moved again and is currently internetless for a while, so we can't really announce a date or even guess one. Sorry~ . You'll just have to wait until she's back up and running again, ne? I'm sure when she's fully back online she'll share the love with y'all.^^
