Dynamic Superobot Wars - Super Robot Retsuden Chapter 1

The ultimate cross over manga featuring Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Grendizer, Getter Robo, Getter Robo G and Jeeg! These all-stars band together in order to defend Earth from cosmic evil. This manga is in the same vein as all those old Toei cross over movies, and the self-parody gets pretty strong later on. This series by Ken Ishikawa has been collected into one volume featuring ten chapters. Presenting:

Super Robot Retsuden Chapter 1

This project is brought to you by Wright of HappyScans! who purchased the raws for me to scan and is translated by our buddies over at Hokuto no Gun. Thanks to them for their awesome work!

Getter Robo Arc Chapter 7

Here's the first chapter of Getter Robo Arc volume 2. This is quite a good chapter and the following chapters are even better as the story really starts taking off. Thanks to OtherSideofSky for his awesome translation!

Also, it seems I somehow forgot to do a full volume compilation of Getter Robo G, so I've added a download link for that. Thanks to the reader who brought this to my attention.

Getter Robo Saga - Getter Robo G

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.

Getter Robo G Chapter 5 Part 2

The continuation of the massive final chapter! Not much to say without spoiling it, so let me tell you about how I went blind this week.

 So there I was, typing away in photoshop, when my eyes started acting up. The stinging sensation was fairly intense, so I stopped what I was doing and tried to tend to my eyes. As time passed, the pain intensified, and it was getting harder and harder to keep my eyes open.

Long agony short, I couldn't open my eyes for about two days and any amount of light caused severe pain. I went to an optician as soon as I could. Turns out, my contacts had some buildup on them due to their age, and had severely irritated my upper cornea in each eye. Luckily, the condition was temporary and I just needed to give my eyes some rest. Instead of doing that, I completed this chapter.

Enjoy.
Getter Robo G Chapter 5 Part 2

Getter Robo G Chapter 5 Part 1

This is the beginning of Getter Robo G's final chapter. I'm releasing this chapter in three separate parts because not only is it over 200 pages in length, but every page is crammed with text and there are two page spreads everywhere.

Not surprisingly, this "chapter" was originally published as multiple interconnected chapters - which explains the overall length. I apologize for not releasing it all at one time, but this single chapter is nearly as long as the four previous chapters combined  - it really does make up nearly half of the entire book.

Enjoy the beginning of the end
Getter Robo G - Last Chapter: Getter's Final Battle! Part 1

Getter Robo G - The Terrifying Bacteriological Bomb

We're just one chapter away from completion now. The next chapter after this one is the final - but its nearly 200 pages in length (that's an entire volume for most series)! Therefore, Getter Robo G Chapter 5 will be released in two parts. Many thanks to OtherSideofSky for his translation.

Getter Robo G Chapter 4

In other news, expect a Mars and Dokuro no Yakata release tomorrow!

Getter Robo G ch. 3, Mars ch. 2 and New Project: Dokuro

That's right, another new project! This time, it's Go Nagai's Dokuro - a collection of horror themed short-stories being translated by OtherSideofSky.

In addition, it's time for another chapter of Getter Robo G (also translated by OtherSideofSky). This time, it's a brand new story exclusive to Getter Robo Saga focusing on the origin of the Hyakki Empire. To top it off, we've got another chapter of Yokoyama's Mars. Translation by our friends at Hokuto no Gun. Many thanks to OtherSideofSky, Hokuto no Gun and HappyScans!

Getter Robo G Chapter 2 and New Project Announcement

Presenting Getter Robo G Chapter 2.

In addition to this release, I would also like to officially announce that Dynamic Pro Scanlations will be teaming up with HappyScans! and Hokuto no Gun to scanlate Mars by the legendary Mitsuteru Yokoyama. Expect the first chapter of this series to be released sometime next week along with the third chapter of Getter Robo G. 

 

Getter Robo G and the Future of Getter Robo Scanlations

Man, it sure was difficult getting this released. But, it's finally here! Many, many thanks to OtherSideofSky for translating this and a shout out to Wright for checking over the work.

Getter Robo G consists of 5 chapters, and I'll release one per week. Now, with that out of the way, I'd like to talk about future Getter Robo projects; namely Getter Robo Arc.

Aside from Shin Getter Robo, I have had to personally pay for the translation of each Getter Robo series due to the scarcity of translators. This has cost me about $250 in all (not counting the fees for actually buying the books), and now that total has jumped up to $350 with the translation of Getter Robo G. So what am I getting at? Well, this: I need donations. Getter Robo Arc, at this rate, will not be released unless I can scrounge up another $100 that I don't have.

You may be thinking, "Oh, I don't have the money to spare!"
Well, I know that feeling, because I'm completely broke from spending all of my free money on this stuff. But consider this: thousands of people download these releases (that's just mediafire links. I'm not even counting everyone who reads it on sites like mangafox or get it from alternative download links/torrents) so if just a small portion of readers donated anywhere from $2 to $5, paying for the translation is easy. I'm not asking for a high dollar value, I'm just asking for a lot of people to chip in a very small amount of money. Basically, we need to spirit bomb these translation fees.

Now, there have been those of you that have donated in the past. Thank you! This message is not for you - you've done your part and I fully appreciate all the help I've gotten financially for these projects. Once again, thank you. You're the reason that the Getter scanlations have even gotten this far.

I've tried my hardest to bring everyone these great comics by Dynamic Pro for nearly 4 years now, and I'm asking you - those who get to enjoy these releases - to help me help you. Remember this - Getter Robo G was delayed so long because of translator and financial difficulties.

Anyhow, that's the gist of things. Enjoy reading Getter Robo G Chapter 1!

UPDATE: In just a few days, we've reached our goal! I cannot thank you all enough for your support. Look forward to Getter Robo Arc!

Amon Volume 2, Devilman vs Getter Robo Ch 2 and Getter Robo G News

Here it is, another volume release of Amon by OtherSideofSky! Not only that, he's also released the second chapter of Devilman vs Getter Robo.

Devilman vs Getter Robo Chapter 2

I also have some good news for all the Getter Robo fans out there: OtherSideofSky has agreed to translate Getter Robo G! The project will start in September, once some of his other manga work has cleared up. Be sure to give your oaths of complete devotion to OtherSideofSky and get ready for Getter Robo G. Of course, I'll be paying him for his efforts, so donations are a much appreciated help.

Status Update

How's 2011 going for everyone?

As you've probably noticed, we haven't released anything new in a little bit. I've actually got the first three chapters (out of five total chapters) of Getter G scanned and ready to be translated. But, our illustrious translator Damage is in the busy process of moving, so the translation work has yet to begin. Great Mazinger is going steady, but I'm also waiting for a new group member to finish some editing work on that. So basically, here I am, sitting on my hands, unable to speed up any part of the process.

So, please bear with us. Once Getter G starts its release, it's going to be very quick since the volume is pretty much scanned and ready to go. As always, I'm steadily working on the saga version of Shin Getter Robo. If no Getter G/Great Mazigner releases happen anytime soon, I'll just fall back on that and release the one or two chapters of Shin Getter I have sitting around just to show that we're alive.

Thanks for understanding, and prepare yourself for Getter G! Ishikawa added an entirely new chapter devoted to Brai's origin (which ties in to later Getter Robo Saga) and completely redrew the final battle (which is about 100 pages of pure action!).

Double Dynamic Special!

Wondering where the end of Mazinger Z is?

Biting your nails waiting for the last Getter Robo chapters?

Well, wait no more!

After many delays, sub ninja attempts, and sleepless nights of hard work, I present:

Getter Robo Volume 2 Final Chapter

Getter Robo Volume 2 Special Chapter - Go For It, Musashi!!

Getter Robo Saga - Getter Robo Volume 2

Mazinger Z Volume 5

And with that, two classic manga series are completed! Big thanks to Starseeker, Lunasaint and Damage. Joining me on this Mazinger volume is a new editing recruit, Phangry. Thanks!

Now, Dynamic Pro Scanlations looks onwards to new horizons. So, what's on our plate now?

Namely, Getter Robo G and Great Mazinger. Joining me on Getter Robo G is our paid translator, Damage. And graciously translating Great Mazinger is Starseeker and Lunasaint.

Scanning for Getter Robo G will start soon. Also, the Saga version of Shin Getter Robo is progressing smoothly (new chapters/sections are translated, two chapters are completed, resuming scanning soon). But that release will be much later, as I work on that intermittently between my other projects (Free time? What the hell is that!?).

Go and thank Starseeker & Lunasaint! And be sure to check out their other projects!!
