UFO Robo Grendizer by Gosaku Ota

Our newest project, another collaboration between Dynamic Pro Scanlations, HappyScans! and Hokuto no Gun. This time its the final entry in Gosaku Ota's Mazinger trilogy - UFO Robo Grendizer. In case you didn't know, Gosaku Ota is the third major member of Dynamic Productions. He, Ishikawa and Nagai all worked on various manga together that have become classics today.

Now, before anyone points out that we haven't even done Ota's Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger yet, hear this: This is a commissioned project by one of the readers, the very same person who commissioned Nagai's version of the Grendizer manga in the past (he is awesome and has my eternal thanks for making these Grendizer projects possible). Therefore, we're doing as he requested! Hopefully we'll be able to do the other parts of the trilogy in the future.

Getter Robo Saga - Getter Robo G (Complete)

And there you have it. The second entry in the Getter Robo Saga series, Getter Robo G, has finally been brought to completion. With this post, the only main Getter Robo series left untranslated is the final story of the saga - Getter Robo Arc. I'd like to thank OtherSideofSky for stepping up and translating this part of the series in his usual speedy manner.

Getter Robo G Chapter 5 Part 3
Getter Robo G Chapter 5 (complete chapter)

When I started on this journey in 2008, the only translated Getter Robo manga was the first volume of the first series. Many were familiar with the OVA/TV releases but had little to no knowledge of the manga that influenced a whole generation of creators and fans in Japan. I decided to get this great series translated, but due to the difficulty of finding willing translators, I had to scanlate Getter Robo in an out of order manner; The first series we released was Shin Getter Robo because it was the shortest, thus the easiest to find a translator for. Then I found translators to help me with Getter Robo Go because it was a relatively unknown part of the saga, yet probably the most pivotal point in the series. I wanted to get it out of the way because translators would come and go, and I never knew if I was going to be able to get another Getter series translated.

Fortunately, we've been able to do Getter Robo and Getter Robo G since then even though I still have to deal with importing and scanning the books myself as well as trying to reel in translators with promises of money. It's truly a miracle that Getter scanlations have even gotten this far. It's all thanks to the hard work of the various translators I've had the pleasure of working with over the years and the financial support I've gotten from donators. Not to mention my stubbornness, I guess.

Anyhow, enjoy. I've got no solid date for when I'll start Getter Robo Arc, but I'll probably get to scanning it after my finals are finished.
