An update for those of you who are despirate for information.

I am one of the translators/reviewers for the GE2 translation project. Since no one else has made any news about it, here's the current status as of right now:

The 100% translated hype is 100% bull, as you probably already deduced. There are ~6000 dialogs left that are machine translated. As the attached picture shows, the translations are god-awful. One of the reviewers approved a bunch of machine-translated garbage too, so sifting through that will suck too. I am trying to manually retranslate them, but it takes me about ~4 mins/line because my kanji skills are bad, there are a lot of GE-specific words that do not show up right in the jisho (obviously) that I have to manually catch, and then after I have a rough idea I try and faithfully capture the essence of the line in English (like the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re:Translation that 4chan and 8chan are doing). Hopefully next month with the release of the last 4 God Eater anime episodes will bring enough attention back to the project to get it wrapped up. I want to see this complete as much as any of you do, but there's a lot of work left to do, and I honestly don't have much of a NEET lifestyle so I can't dedicate much time to it.
