Would anyone be interested in an English Ultraman Ace Guide?

Postby kiryugoji04 » Thu Mar 14, 2013 8:23 pm

, and while my conversational Japanese isn't nearly good enough to subtitle all the various Ultra series that desperately need subtitling, I do have several very comprehensive Japanese-language series guidebooks that I'm fairly confident I could translate given several days and a good dictionary. So what I'm getting at is I'm interested in assembling a limited-edition, English-language guide for my personal favorite series, Ultraman Ace. I know it's probably not everyone's first choice but it's the one I'm most interested in doing this for at the moment. It would consist of detailed synopses of the episodes, plus monster names and statistics, information on the various members and technology of TAC, various M78 lore, etc. The works. With the synopses, it'd basically be the next best thing to watching the series subtitled, so it might well help many of you enjoy the series the same way GFan's detailed Ultra Q guide helped me through that series. It's not quite the same but it's better than nothing, no? :)



What I want to know is this: If I manage to keep the price between about $40 to $60, would anyone be interested in placing a pre-order for this? It's going to be a lot of work, so I want to gauge interest before I throw myself into such a big project. If no one's interested, I probably won't bother, but if enough people want it, I'll do it.

Thoughts?

Maybe put together a spread or a couple pages as a prototype?

There are no more good TV Shows, only ones that haven't disappointed me yet.
