Alright, time for my trademark multi-paragraph rambling response to a comparatively simple post! (Actual response starts below.)



Sweet! It'll be fun to have a way to watch episodes on an actual TV, even if tha I hope the subtitles aren't too literal like the official manga translation was, I prefer translations that prioritize conveying the intended emotions of characters rather than exact word for word translation. Here's an example.  The translation is technically perfect, but it doesn't flow naturally and drains all emotion. (Hey! I guess you could say this translation rendered Yuuko "totally expressionless!")  Anyways, it's about time we got an official release, and I've been trying to get my friend into Nichijou, so I'll send one her way too.

On admin rights, I've got plenty of experience from running the Pikmin Wiki, and I'd be happy to help out as an admin if you need it. Of course, as you know, while I check the edit log daily, I often go on long editing hiatuses, so I don't know how reliable you consider me anymore. I'd also say IMAaNASWIFLI is pretty reliable, so you might want to consider him once he returns.

While we're on the topic of my editing record, I wanted to give you a heads up. I got delayed when I was loaded up with extra schoolwork early this year, but I'm aiming to finally make my triumphant return within the next 1 - 3 weeks. My original plan for my project regarding character and story analysis is remaining on hold for now, but I am going to immediately resume the other half of the project, summarizing and organizing all the different storylines across the anime, since I'd say that's key information that's been missing from the wiki for too long. Up until now, we've only had the episode summaries, which can be a pain to sort through if you don't know what episode a particular scene was in. I'm also going to finish up those Fey Kingdom pages I started a year ago, and I'll try to work on incomplete character pages (such as Nakamura and Takasaki) if I have the time. Also, we discussed badge design a looooong time ago. I never got back to you on it, but I actually did come up with ideas for names and designs for a bunch of the achievements, so if you're still interested I can tell you what I came up with.

On a side note, check out my progress on the City Wiki.  It's coming along nicely, but it's going to be a while before we have any more info for the pages, since nobody's translating the other chapters. The front page is next on my to-do list, but it'll take a while for me to figure it out. By the way, you might want to set up your profile page on the City Wiki. The wiki is meant to be a direct counterpart to the Nichijou Wiki, so you still get the final say in everything over there too. Look around and let me know if there's anything in particular you want me to focus on.



 Finally,
