    New Projects: Now Recruiting!

    Hokuto no Gun is proud for being “the little sub group that could,” but even we feel we’re spread too thin, and things could get released much quicker if we had a few extra staff. Particularly because there are a few new projects we might be picking up! First, a brief introduction to these projects:

    Emblem Take 2: The story of a yakuza member who gets a second chance at life, starting at the moment when things started going wrong the first time. A 2-part OVA filled with manly drama.

    Aah Harimanada: An anime that’ll make you stronger just by watching it! All about a yokozuna declaring that he will break the winning streak record in sumo and turning the whole sumo association against him! Ran for 23 episodes in total.

    Now that we’ve got your manly spirits pumped up, here’s what we need:

    Timers: Willing to do a bit of a simple, tedious, but vital job? Apply to be a timer!

    Translation Checker: Are you bilingual in English and Japanese? Can you detect translation errors in subtitles? We could really use you!

    Proofreader/Quality Checker: This one’s for both our manga and anime projects, and we could use a bunch of you. We need people who are really nit-picky and able to suggest rewordings of lines of translations in order to make the script more natural!

    If you’re interested, comment here and a HnG staff member will email you with more details (your comment email is only visible to us)! We may have a screening process you will be required to go through.

    DISCLAIMER: These projects will not interfere with any of our current projects!

    EDIT: This is NOT a request thread! This is announcing the projects we will be doing, and this is all we can take! Read ourย About & FAQ tab next time before you comment!

      Do I have to be bilingual to proof read, or do I just need to have master the English language for that job?
      and Timer sounds easy, I might be able to at least do that if I can’t help in the actual translation.

      Ignoring all the other requests…

      legend of kenshiro: Yes, we will be. Our progress report tells all. And asking something that’s already been answered on the progress report is punishable by disemvowelment.

      talal: Raoh Gaiden has been licensed and officially translated, and it’s not that bad. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel, particularly if it’s illegal. Go support the Hokuto franchise.

      christop: No, you don’t need to know Japanese, you just need to speak really good English. Hang on for a bit, and one of us will contact you with a few tests to see if you have potential.

    8. SystematicChaos says:

      I knew that’s what you meant. We are doing the Raoh Den movies, but Ten no Haoh has been licensed and translated already, and we will NOT, I repeat, NOT sub it. This has been our final decision since it was first licensed, and nothing will change it. So don’t ask anymore. Deal with it.

      Crikey that’s a lot of people that can’t understand English right there!! Btw can I request that you Sub n gfkj gtrs njhv?
