There's something quite satisfying knowing that the disappointment is... 100% founded xD
The fan data book project only exists on discord at the moment, @Regnant should we make it more known that it's something being worked on?

Agreed, glad it's universal
I was wondering about that too? Discord as an app is quite frustrating to me, but I'd like to contribute in some way if I can.

Yikes... even the Japanese fans are as frustrated and disappointed as we are and there's not one iota of me that can disagree with them.fantachan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 5:39 pm The following is a written blog post criticizing the Ginga Yondai encyclopedia.

TLDR; Most of what has been said confirms our frustrations and gives a few specifics on why this sucks.
If that's true that Yoshi himself considers this book an achievement, then that is honestly pretty tragic...

The book is quite heavy too, so the shipping also cost quite a bit. To add salt to the wound.

Thankfully I bought the book while I was in Japan, I can imagine shipping on it wouldn’t be too pleasant. Tbh it’s such a shame, I was looking forward to opening it and reading it when I got home but after reading about how disappointing it is I still haven’t taken the wrapping off of it I still plan to open it and look at it myself but it’s such a shame that it’s this bad.
I still really like how the book looks itself from the outside, I like the hardcover a lot.

Also please post a picture of the bearhound family tree onto the Twitter thread, the world deserves to see it in all its laughable, thrown-together-in-five-minutes glory.
