March 2024

Also did some tweaking and recoding of the gallery page (again), so now it allows for multiple filters to be applied at once. Fancy.

I will be doing translations of the ANTHEM songs once they go up! But I'mma be real with you, dawg, there's not really a chance in hell that I'm going to translate the last run of anime-excusive songs any time soon, on virtue of the fact that I prefer thinking about things that don't make me angry. Never say never, but chances are grim for the time being.

January-February 2024

(Because I didn't update much in January I'm just going to leave the January updates on the page until March, www.)

Also updated the Stageplay page to reflect Stagefes 23-24 and the news of the new live show, tweaked some info on the Reading Order page (nothing important, just finally updated for REVOLUTION results, haha). Planning to add the anime-exclusive songs/LPs to the music listing and CD pages, just because I feel like I probably should. For completion's sake, if nothing else.

(This is a reminder to myself to update the stageplay page, since we got a new (all-cast) live show announced at Stagefes last night!)

December 2023

Woof. Let it just be on the record that I... profoundly disagree with many of the choices the anime made, lol. It is what it is.

With Dongha, this now means that this entire set of birthday illustrations is done! We'll have to see on the 24th what, if any, campaign the franchise will be doing for the next rotation of birthdays.

• A bunch of menpas since October
• The Outfit of the Day "maganize" text
• The Heads Consultation Meetings from the end of the premium stream version of the anime
• This month's Spoon.2di interviews
• And more!

October 2023

I am very behind on menpas right now, but I am trying to keep a list of which ones I still need to do. Please be patient. I have a day job and that day job takes a lot out of me when menpas are already probably my least favorite thing to translate, so they will be forthcoming, I just... there's so many this month. There's so many and so many tweets. There is so much to translate. Send help. (I'm kidding, probably.)

Counting down to the release of REVOLUTION and trying to get everything I can get sorted ahead of time sorted, haha. It's gonna be a long day for me but I'm very excited!!

Furthermore, it's October now, so the B's Log interview from the October 2023 issue is no longer password locked, as promised!

September 2023

Also, those with access to it (and in the case that Twitter finally eats shit for real), Phanto.MOE is now on BlueSky at @phanto.moe! At the moment I will just be crossposting announcements about site updates (I am not insane enough to try and crosspost all tweet translations), but that is now a place where you can find updates and information about my translations.

I've been debating switching hosting services to something a little more robust (and, more importantly, a service that supports server-end includes...), especially as the anime draws nearer, but that's a matter that's -- again -- entirely on my end. Just a heads up!

August 2023

Also added a note about the October 2023 issue of Animedia, which is featuring Paradox Live: The Animation, and a note about the new character profiles that have been added to the anime's site on the page about the anime!

• Yuto's birthday art added to the gallery page!
• The Road to Legend Winning Manifestos have been added! Translations for these short videos can be found under Other Translations!

• Shiki's birthday art and the new anime team visuals have been added to the gallery page!
• A note about said new visuals has been added to the anime page.
• I added a quick note about the two recurring named cats, Luna and Kurobuchi Maou DX, to the "Glossary" page, under 'People & Entities'! I figured I should add them because I have seen some confusion about which cat is which.
• And, the biggest one: the character schedules have been added! They are under Other Translations! These include both the original schedules posted in 2020 for the original four teams, and the updated schedules posted in 2022 for all main eight groups.

Still working on some other stuff (the character schedules are about ~30% done).

I will be working on new translations of extra material soon, but right now this stuff is a lot less work, so bear with me! My current to-do list, in no particular order, is to continue working on the Merch page; to expand the manga page with full chapter summaries; and to translate the character schedules from both the Fan Book and social media.

Also: new illustration added to the official art gallery, under follower milestones; this one is for 10k followers on the official English Facebook page!

Also-also: I've added the Favorite Character Sorter and Favorite Song Picker, since I figure these are resources that people generally like having on-hand. These are both located on the Other Stuff page under the 'Other' heading, since they're not translations but they may be useful or entertaining!

Some pages (merch, magazines, other translations) are a little bit empty now, but they should hopefully provide at least some useful information, even if that information is "I plan to write more about this as it becomes feasible".

Some pages are relatively straightforward in terms of information, but for some -- especially the anime and mobile game pages -- they will, in future, become far more robust mini-directories as more about these respective adaptations comes to be known.
From the jump, though, some notes:

• All of my drama and novel translations, and all of my and Carp's song translations, are live! All of our social media translations (Twitter and Paratora) are mirrored, as well.
• Every character profile is complete and features extra information where that information is canonically available, and the character index includes the short blurbs about the units as presented on the official site.
• The official art gallery, while not complete, is fully functional. Do take a minute to let the thumbnails load, though!
• The CDs page lists a brief summary of the drama tracks (where relevant) and includes full track listings and the results of the CDs that had voting rounds.
• The Glossary page defines not just terms, but useful lists of locations and characters and entities who do not have full profiles!
• The Music page provides an overview of every song, its composers, and the release date of its MV (where applicable)!
• And more!
