I didn't see a thread for this series so I thought I'd start one. I guess I'm really curious to know if anyone has seen copies of this series in English.

I hear they did a bad job on the anime and since I liked the anime I'm almost guaranteed to enjoy the novels.

Any idea?

I read the Allison novels a few years ago. Kind of got distracted during the second series in the midst of getting married and starting a family. Should really get back to them at some point. They were good fun.

Was it English or Japanese?

Japanese. Allison was one of the first prose fiction books in Japanese that I read through all the way, actually. I should probably give them another run-through before I read Lillia and Treize. Could probably get through them faster this time, too.

My feeling on the anime is that it captured the spirit of the books fairly well, but much of the books' world-building, the obsessive technical detail, and plotting sort of fell by the wayside... To say nothing of idiotic censorship.

Censorship? what do you mean? What was censored in the anime?

It seems that Untuned Translations has been translating these novels into English. They're currently on semi-hiatus with sporadic updates, but have completed Allison and are about two thirds of the way through Lillia and Trieze.
