I really want to obtain such fabled items. Hmm. I think it is the scripts of 43-46 that are "out there," and not a completed fansub. If I'm wrong and there indeed does exist a fansub of 43-46, I would sure like to see it! ;) > Due to the length of Legend of Galactic Heroes, it is almost impossible > for any single fansub group to translate it to its entirety.

All that's needed are: 1. scripts. 2. scripts. 3. scripts. Oh- Also, I think scripts are needed. I think once there are scripts, everything else should take care of itself. -Hank Hank Wong hankwong@soda.csua.berkeley.edu LoGH List Admiral http://www.hooked.net/~renegade "So fast...like a gale..." -Vice Adm.
