My suggestion:

This is Gold!
Even as a novel, but I'd like to narrate it both in English and Danish. Make it an audio book!

You convey both the action and the emotions both accurately and powerfully.

Contact Yukito Kishiro and his publisher to get a definite permission to go ahead with the transcription.

I am a long time fan of this amazing manga... as a matter of fact , it is the specific one that got me reading manga in the first place. You may not see this, but if you do I urge you to continue.
I think you made a great start and should write more. I know there
are other BAA fans out there that would and have appreciated this story.

I know Gunnm inside and out and in my opinion you did a very good job transfering Kishiro's Beautiful artwork into words.

_I am impressed with your preliminary
chapter, but... Oh yes, there are always
caveats, aren't there? Why, yes there are! It
wouldn't be too helpful a critique if I just gave
praise without offering up some suggestions for
future improvements! (Yeah, that is why they
call 'em critiques, dudes and dude-ettes:
'Cause we have criticism, good and bad) So
here I go--pointing out faults and giving some
praise.
_Let's get the nasty part done first: the
criticism part. (Wait, wait... Gimme a
moment... Ah!) The ONE immediate problem was
with several lines, where you said, "...this
serendipity rising from him" and "...the remains
of cyborg girl." Serendipity doesn't "rise"
from people: Serendipity is akin to luck, so I
belive it would have read better if you would
have written "this moment of serendipity." Also,
you forgot the word "the" with the second
example. Particularly, you should have written
"of the cyborg girl." There were also other
instances of wanky English, but that's best left
to an editor. (Heck, I'm an amateur writer too--
not some corporate hack paid to mutilate...uh,
POLISH UP writers' works.) So that would be my
primary, if moderate, complaint: just SOME odd
English that can be fixed up just a little.
It's just something to keep in mind.
_With that done, let me tell you that your
work was surprisingly good after all!
Impressive was how you began the work with a
sort of sit-down-and-get-comfortable opening.
From there, the flow of dialogue and
description was smoo-o-oth--like a good bowl of
lightly cinnamoned oatmeal after a big cup of
hot chocolate. The pace was just fast enough,
while also remembering to set tone and ambiance.
Yes, you gave good descriptions while continuing
the story: very important. It's too bad I can't
give you plus-points on the plot...
_Before I finish this, here is a word of
warning: Don't try to do too much. From what
you propose to do, you could easily run into
several hundred pages: a massive project to do
in published increments. Take this warning for
what it's worth, I've written a few practice
novels myself, but you just may want to limit
your focus to two hundred-page blocks (around
fifty-thousand words) to publish at a time. Heh,
take as long as you like to do it--six months,
if need be. You have as long as your life to
finish projects, but just don't make them too
big. Then again, I'm a big project-man myself.
Interpret this as you will--maybe with the
help of some hot tea or hot chocolate.

A most excellent chapter of my favorite manga, this has transferred all the feelings and emotiongs the images held with grand quality. I hope you'll continue this work with the same efforts!

Wow! This is AMAZING! I really love all the characters and the images you paint. It must have been really hard to change the manga into words! This is the best manga fanfiction I've ever read on ff.net!! *grins* I need to get the manga now!
Cudos to you, because you've taken on a job that not many would!
You rock. Seriously.
