Topic: The Snow Queen

[gumbaloom]

Hey all,

New Project from Live-eviL. We're pleased to release episode 1 of the NHK anime "The Snow Queen" based on the classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale. 

It's been expanded a bit from the original tale but we're sure you'll love watching it just as much as we love working on it.

Let us know what you think of this new retelling of this classic tale!

just found a nasty error ...

the creator's name AREN'T Hans Christian Anderson ... it is Hans Christian Andersen

the *son is commonly swedish while we danes (and since he was a dane him as well) commonly uses *sen

[gumbaloom]

I think this is a case of ENGLISH spellings and DANISH spellings here...

For example...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books-uk&field-author=Anderson%2C%20Hans%20Christian/026-1714208-2264469

A lot of books use Anderson and not Andersen. So I think its a case of horses for courses here whether the English or Danish spellings are used. Its the same with the spelling of Kay. It CAN be Kai be we wen't with the English spelling of the name.

So it was just a choice on our part to use the English and not the Danish spellings ^_^.

Regards

well ... his name was no matter how you look at it 'Andersen' that some uses 'Anderson' because that they pronunce it that way, would compere to that i called Jostein Gaarder (norwegian author of Sofie's world along others) Jostein Gårder because we on danish commonly pull two A's following each other together to å ... that make no sence does it?

... and the boy ... i have allways seen his name spelled as Kay

and following your link ...

thats a good bit more named Andersen than Andreson even though its the same :p ... whats right ... the danish (mostly used) or the english pronuncement?

[gumbaloom]

Haha I guess its easy enough to change LOL but its not *blatantly* wrong.

*Adds note to change when he typesets ep2*

I have the old Anime movie version of this(which is poorly dubbed, but still quite nice), how far has this series been expanded?

[Laired]

Few weeks back I was kind of worried that no one, sadly, was subbing this series, leaving it unnoticed by many but I'm glad L-E is willing to pick this one up despite having many other ongoing projects.

Asides that I initially thought this series is a mere seven episode series or so that was how the official site hinted at that time, only to find out the other day how wrong I was.

Anyway, a great job done on the series and please keep it up.

As Laired allready says, L-E have allready a lot of ongoing projects. I'm glad to see this project coming up.
About the series,
 I have readed the fairy tale, but the anime doesn't really looks similar. At any case it was for ~14 years ago for me since I readed the fairy tale and it's great to see this in anime style. (Wow (39) that much series ? Let me say.. 900 minutes, I kid should sleep well after watching this animated fairy tale.)

Good job L-E, love to see this project ongoing.

The next couple of episodes should hopefully follow in the next few weeks.  Though they would probably be done faster if I wasn't typing here...

[Thefunch]

Thank you so much for picking up this series; I saw it in Japan two weeks ago (episode where Gerda meets the traveling salesperson with the trunk) and loved it, and I've been trying to track down subtitled episodes ever since. If there's anything I can help with besides translating, let me know -- email is thefunch, domain is gmail.com.

Hmm... Someone had already brought up up the subject of the spelling of "Andersen"...

Very nice you of you to take on this one. Its the kind of series I really like
Hope to see more soon of this...

Noted a very minior "error" in the grammar.
The sentence "You have to be nice to one other at school" (00:07:47)
Think that should be "You have to be nice to one another at school" in this context...
Very minior indded...

Keep up the good work and don't forget about 3000 Leagues In Search Of Mother
