Mazinger Z by Ken Ishikawa

This story comes from the very last volume of Getter Robo Āḥ and is translated by good ol' C-K (Who translated Shin Getter Robo and UFO Robo Grendizer). He's also translating Getter Robo Āḥ, so that's great news! A million thanks to him.

Funnily enough, I got the script for this the weekend Shin Mazinger adapted this story. The design of Mazinger Z in Shin Mazinger is based off of this work, which is cool, since Ishikawa's deisgn is great.

Enjoy!

Well, there's a second Getter Robo series down. It's also the longest one.
Now, I'm going to focus on Mazinger Z. I don't have any new translations yet from Starseeker, but I guess I'll start cleaning the next volume tomorrow.

On the topic of the other Getter Robo series:
The last two series I need to do are Getter Robo and Getter Robo Āḥ. But here's the thing, I need to get the Getter Robo Saga editions.

Let me tell you what Getter Robo Saga is: Getter Robo Saga is the final edition of the manga. Ishikawa went back and redrew some parts, corrected the story here and there and even did an entirely new ending to Getter Robo G. Many parts of Shin Getter were altered, a part of Go was changed, and the ending of Āḥ was altered.

Unfortunately, only the very first volume has been scanned, which means I need to personally scan the rest of them. Also, I don't have a dedicated translator right now. Lionel popped in and translated a little bit randomly, but I need someone who is more consistent. I have someone like that, but unfortunately and understandably, he doesn't work for free. You all know I'm willing to spend my own money and hours of my free time to bring you manga, but I can only do so much. Frankly, I've tried to avoid asking for money for the longest time. But Getter Robo Go cost me $120 and Tatari $50 in addition to the standard, time consuming work that goes into scanlating. So, I'm asking you, if you want to see these works in English, please help by donating. I need to purchase the volumes of Getter Robo Saga and help pay the translation. If you can spare any money, please consider helping me. I've already had a kind soul donate some money and I'm infinitely grateful. Any amount will do.

Anyhow, enjoy the ending of GETTER ROBO GO!


UPDATE: Seems MF and MU have killed the links. Please use the torrent from now on. I may reupload later.

Oh god I'm alive

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Sorry about the long absence, folks. I was traveling around, meeting with some friends, making bamboo ladders, etc and I just got back last night. But here's some great news:

Mazinger Z Volume 1
Mazinger Z Volume 2

Volume 1 Megaupload
Volume 2 Megaupload

Our glorious translators are Starseeker and Lunasaint. I also got my friend Steve to edit and typeset some pages while I was gone. Big thanks to everyone.

The new Getter chapters will be out soon, I just got ahold of the script and I'll start my magic after some games of Blazblue. After I finish up Getter Robo Go, I'm going to focus on Mazinger Z. Further details later.

Also, I'm dropping Cutey Honey. While I was gone, Shin-Getter randomly revived and did that, so props to them. Go check out their release.

MAZIN GOOOOOO-!


EDIT:
Aw hell. A while back(and I mean a WHILE back. I'm talking April), good ol' Lionel contacted me with a translation for the first chapter of Getter Robo saga. I figure I'd just throw it out there.
