The NJT thread

[njt]

Hiya Njt, ever since I discovered Edited Manga I've been around a bit, and I've seen you on many different forums, I think it's awesome that you're so active, so I wanted to ask you if you're doing any other translations aside from Naruto?

Haha, thanks for noticing me .
Well actually as of late I've been very busy with getting the mangahelpers look like you see it now. So I haven't been able to translate much of anything as of late. I have however worked on quite a few manga, bon bon zaka koukou (a manga that no one has seen yet... that I know of? ) Ichigo 100% I've helped proof read this for others, Death note done various checks of this series. Tenjo tenge Did around... 4-5 chapters of this. Hunter hunter checked some of these translations, Bleach did two of this as well as proofed a few. And a various other series that I can't think of right now. If I had the time I seriously would do more translating, but honestly just haven't. Hopefully I'll get more time next year? Who knows-....

Ummm, may I ask how old are you?

I'm 21

Do you think you'd make a good ambassador for Japan?

What was the first computer you ever had?

hmm I'd like to go to China, that being first, then I'd like to head to Norway, I wouldn't mind any of Europe, and Korea might be fun . (in other words, there are lots of places I wanna visit . )

Do you think you'd make a good ambassador for Japan?
Nah, I wouldn't know what to do....

What was the first computer you ever had?
My first computer was a Windows ME (well not unless you call a commodore a computer...) It was a gateway and was my ticket to the internet which I fell in love

What's your favorite game?
I really enjoy fighting games and some of my favorites are Marvel vs Capcom 2, Guilty gear X(X and all it's versions) as well as Street fighter zero 3.

Winter or Summer?
Summer x 10

And to take a cue from Eileen's questions, what in the Naruto series has made you:

1.
When Lee suddenly appeared in the fight with Kimimaro

2.
When lee took off his weights in the fight with Gaara.

3.
The fight with Gai and Kisame they cut that WAY too much... I mean, show us more action!!

Happy new year btw, just wanted to be the first to say that

Well, I'll hope that you will get a chance to translate more because your translations are very enjoyable to read, and carries the japanese culture with it.

 

[Leen]

What would have happen to u now if there is no computer? Perhaps u are watching TV?

How many forums have u been so far? What is the best thing that have happen to u so far in a forum?

Thanks man

How are u njt?
I'm fine thanks . Need to take a break from the computer actually, starting to get a headache .

What would have happen to u now if there is no computer? Perhaps u are watching TV?
Hmmm if there was NO computer around right now, I'd either be reading manga, or playing some games.

How many forums have u been so far? What is the best thing that have happen to u so far in a forum?
Hmmmm this is a tough question, I've been on.... 15 forums? Perhaps more..... Yeah, I get around...

What makes u go into Naruto?
I've always liked ninja and also "special abilities" like those found in x-men... so Naruto was something that I was destined to like .

 

[Amaethon]

Hey njt, you're a teacher, right? What was your college major? I'd assume Japanese Language and Literature and English minor or vice versa.

 

[Saithan]

Hm... Teachers are awesome, unfortunately my choice of a career takes me elsewhere, perhaps I can be a teacher at a business school or something

Anyway I want to ask you if you'd be interested in translating D.Gray-man... it's an interesting manga, and there are a lot of "special" abilities involved, also these abilities evolve as their users mature with time.

 

[Anax]

Jam VS Venom? >)

Seriously I'd love to play with you

Well, no real question just saying "hi" and that I admire the things you manage to do in relation to your age... man, 21 with a wife, kid and four jobs, active in countless forums and a translator... makes my head spin

 

[Saithan]

Hey Njt, I am curious about some of the mangas out there, and was wondering if you could categorize, I'd also appreciate it if you could name some of them e.g. which mangas are josei, seinen even seijin and redikomi.

Thanks.

 

[bebong]

NJT!!! Finally you made yer thread!!! Questions OK!!

What's you're favorite:

Food
Anime
Country

Thx!!

 

[Anax]

Mind telling us what are your four jobs? Also, what's your secret and you gaven't dropped dead yet? How old is your wife and kid? (All, these wife, kid things make you sound soooo old when you are merely two years older than me...)

 

[njt]

Hey njt, you're a teacher, right? What was your college major? I'd assume Japanese Language and Literature and English minor or vice versa.

haha yep, I actually haven't majored in anything yet, well not fully. I majored in literature arts, but nothing hard core yet. I kinda got stuck here before I planned on it .

haha thanks, since I was young I was always taking care of some small thing, so me being busy is what's natural though sometimes I like to be lazy and just lurk around different areas without posting or working... *though I try not to do it often *

Actually I'm not really a good person to ask that, I've only read a small amount of manga, so couldn't really recommend anything too great , nor give you info that you couldn't find on wikipedia .

Hmmm well this thread isn't really new, but ohh well .

I like:
Pizza, crab legs, and yakiniku.
hmmmm Basilisk is cool
Japan, though I want to explore more areas .

I work as an english conversation teacher for 3 of them, just different locations. As for my fourth job I work as a consultant regarding problems using various services. So, a job that I can do online, which is nice .
hmmmm my secret as to not dieing, I believe everything happens for a reason and to always look forward to a better day tomorrow .
My wife is older though not much, and my baby is nearly 2 ^^.

 

[Anax]

What it's like being such a young dad? My mom had be when she was 19 too, but well, she's a woman and they supposedly have a maternal instict

It has it's ups and downs.... Though I'm glad to be a young father . It's nice to have alot of energy to spend with my daughter, though I do spend too much time working *sigh*

 

[Saithan]

hmm... well, I think it's a very mature decision by you and your wife to have a child at a young age .

I'm 24 and being pestered by my parents to get married and settle down...

If you don't mind me asking, why get married at such a young age ?
Of course I don't know the norm in Japan so it might be very normal, also an obvious answer to my question would be "I love my wife". (IMHO no other reason is needed than "love") Anyway I hope you can share some of your thoughts.

 

[Gold Knight]

My parents got married at age 19 ( Mom was 18 ) - the reason? Love at first sight. They didn't fight at all for the next 10 years either (so they claim) and they're closing on their 40th anniversary.

Sometimes I think that people who overthink their relationships tend to do worse than people who just go with their gut instinct. Well, maybe there should be a fine balance somewhere.

But then again, I've been through like 1,000 broken relationships so what the heck do I know. [/overexaggeration]

 

[Leen]

njt, if u are to rate your life until now from 1 to 10, how much will u give? Why?

Why do u first make the decision to move to Japan or is it your parent's will?

What is the best thing that US and Japan have to offer to u?

Hmmm love for her, love of japan, and love of Japanese had factors in it .

Now that is awesome! My wife and I fight all the time, but that was only after our 3 year mark, things are a lot calmer now

hmmmm as for learning things from it, I'd rate it a 10. I had a HARD life growing up, but learned a lot from it.

My Girlfriend was japanese, and well I just fell in love with asians in general, but I guess Japanese girls were all I really knew so Japan was the #1 place I wanted to go to.

Japan has GREAT people, and I feel safer here...
US has my family food and friends, all that I miss and love .
