It's kind of unfortunate that ANN is just posting this article now, since international preorders are only open until May 6th ^_^"
Luckily I already ordered two copies. Last edited by einhorn303 on Wed May 11, 2011 9:04 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Nothing new for me, Nogami Takeshi has released bilingual doujinshi before. Soukai no Seiki (A century of the ocean/The azure century cronicles) is partially bilingual (some info dump pages and guest comics are not translated).

The site you link to purchase it from is already saying "Sorry, this item is sold out."

That's only because they're not using the online store for actual sales; it's just preorders through email. Like it says:

Strike Witches had a "historical advisor"?

This might come as a surprise to many, but Strike Witches is full of hat-tips and outright references to the WWII era (like the girls' names and Strike Units). Here is a rar file with fan-made images explaining some of them. |

What, you also didn't know that the Desert Fox was known to command his Nazi forces with just his underpants? It is the desert, after all.

Kemomimi mode ...and Patton looks way creepy on that cover. If the pilots were genderswap worthy, why not Monty and Patton, too? |

Shoot, I didn't know there was such a dojinshi or I would have bought it at PF12! |

And now a lot more is getting released:
http://dankanemitsu.wordpress.com/2011/05/11/witches-of-africa-splurge I've imported and very much enjoyed the first two volumes of "Witches of the Sphinx," (maybe even more than the TV anime), but I never expected all this earlier material to get an official English translation too. |
