The individual art is here: http://ryuumajin.deviantart.com/art/...-rite-93982084

Looks to be made by the same guy that made that video.

Hey! I updated the first page, go check it out guys

[divisionten]

I've been silent due to finals, but I'm totally excited to work on this. I can voice Max or the Geek if you need it, too. Been contemplating what Max would sound like if he were in an anime, and I think I've found it.

My last final's today, then I'll start messing with the script this weekend!

Awesome. So far the officially confirmed people helping out are:

crashblast23: Various/Supervisor
divisionten: Voice actor/Script writer

I hope the other guys that wrote the script of a scene from the episode will help out on this too.

I guess I might have to be out (Can't read hiragana yet.)

Also if you need new sound effects for it, Freesound.org is a good CC site for that.

Like I said in the first page, you don't need to know Japanese to help out. Instead of telling us where you got the sound effects and such, why don't you just be in charge of finding the sounds? Or we can kindly put the script in romaji if you want.

[TomPravetz]

I speak it at Level One.

But I do have a sexy voice.

[Fly]

I'm a music student. Don't speak a word of Japanese, but I know my way around a DAW and can do sound effects and processing (although honestly I'd rather not do it ALONE). I'm willing to help, as far as I know, so sign me up.

[Remolay]

Well, I kinda want to play some form of Sam, so I can probably do it with Romanji. I just give the site because all sounds have to be credited to people who made them, and I'm not sure I'd remember all of the credits.

Hey, I'm on board too if you want.

[crashblast23]

current project members:

crashblast23: Various/Supervisor
divisionten: Voice actor/Script writer
Fly: Sound effects
Scrander: Script writer
Remolay: Possible voice actor

[crashblast23]

Okay, so I guess we'll take the first step into this project, scriptwriting.



We'll start with the first scene of the episode of course (0:00 to 0:45):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L37DKgeletw


English Script (this isn't a 100% accurate transcript from the episode, just a basic script to translate with):


News Reporter: We interrupt this program to bring you a life-breaking development. A giant meteor is on a direct path with earth. Citizen's are urged to remain calm and take all the necessary precautions one would expect to take in the upcoming moments before the chaotic impact of an uncontrollable meteor.

*Robot Max walks through the city*

City people: Huh?; Wow...; What is it?;

*Robot Max at the White House*

Max: *on the mic* Fear not good citizens! The Mega Max 3000 is here to serve and protect! *off the mic* While causing millions of extreme property damage.

Sam: And to think our guidance counselor wanted us to do a career in auto detailing.

*Opening*



Now we'll translate this scene into Japanese for the voice actors. Here's the basic script format when translating:

"Japanese script in Hiragana/Furigana"
(Original English script)
(Japanese script translated into English)

As soon as I read that I imagined Max sounding like a Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. That's so god damn adorable I'd probably play through all three seasons in Japanese even if I had no idea what anyone was saying

[crashblast23]

don't worry, I'll just keep bumping this every now and then so it won't die.

[crashblast23]

Awww come on guys, I know we're all busy with life, but I'm not forcing everyone here to check in everyday and focus so much on this. Just at least bump this topic with ideas every now and then or something.... :\

[MaximeLoonatic]

I belive Sam and Max will be so welcome in Japan.
Specially for merchandasing! I been waiting to Sam and Max's dolls and pushlies to hug!!

[crashblast23]

bump

[crashblast23]

I know I should stop bumping by now, but I'll just keep doing this until everyone has a lot of free time...

Some of the many reasons why I'm not a fan of anime. Just give me Tex Avery and Looney Tunes and I'm good.

Oh, seasons of the video game? They were talking about dubbing the cartoon series though and it only had one season. Nice idea though if TellTale wants to release the games in Japan.
