Getter Robo Go Volume 1 Chapter 3

Here's the newest release

Chapter 3

I had this one done for a couple of days now, but my internet connection was out. Oh well.

Anyway, chapter 4 may a take a little bit, I don't know exactly when I'll get the script for it. Volume 2 is probably going to take a little bit to start, since I'll have to wait for the books to ship. But once that hits, things will go a lot faster.

Also, this chapter was done by our French friend! He's a great guy.

The plan for Getter Robo Go is this:

B is working on the last two volumes right now.

Tatari will do a bulk of the translation from French from volumes 2-5 once we get them shipped to his location.

Lionel did this chapter, will do chapter 4, and will help with anything from volume 2-5 when he can.

Everything is going exceedingly well.

Getter Robo Go First Release

...And now the project takes off!

After going through the manga again carefully, I found that there were indeed chapters, but they didn't use chapter titles to separate them, so I had to closely follow the pages and I found that each volume has 4 chapters with each roughly 50 pages.

So, here it is:
Getter Robo Go Volume 1 Chapter 1

Now, onto the subject concerning the French editions of Getter Robo Go...

We need to obtain these, for having them will make our scanlation go much, much faster. As this rate, we're going at a snail's pace, which really bothers me.

We found a good shop to buy them from, it's going to cost $46.42 and we have $36.13 saved up. We will get the money eventually, but that last bit might take a while, so I put up a donation button in case a couple of you don't mind contributing to the fund. That's it. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Anyway, enjoy chapter 1~!

Getter Robo Go Status

An update just to keep readers in the know:

Getter Robo Go is still progressing.

The basic run down right now is that the translation is moving slowly, but we're working at it. I've recently ordered the first four issues of Viz's old Getter Robo Go localization to check out their translations and see if I can use them to speed things along. There are seven issues in total, so it'll probably cover the entire first volume.

We're also looking into purchasing the five volumes of Getter Robo Go in French to translate from. But unfortunately, since we're poor college students, money is hard to come by. But we'll keep at it. (If anyone knows a good place to buy it from or if scans of the volumes exist, let me know!)

Currently, we have the first 20 pages of Getter Robo Go translated along with some other misc pages from other volumes. I've been pumping out cleaned scans and joining pages left and right! So when we have the scripts, I'll have it out ASAP.

Here's some of our progress:
