Mazinger Z Volume 4

Well, here it is.

Mazinger Z Volume 4
Megaupload

In this volume, the page numbering got thrown off at 41 in the raws, and I didn't realize early enough to feel like correcting it. No pages are missing.

Took longer than anticipated due to a number of factors on my part. Anyhow, let me fill you all in on what's going on around here.

I've been very, very busy with my (real!) editing job. I'm on a project right now that's going to last months, so things are gonna be sloooooow. But fear not, for I'll never drop my projects, despite disappearing for months at a time.

Project status updates:

Getter Robo: Another long ass chapter. In fact, the first part is 100 pages, and the second part is about as long. I've got a bit done of the first part. This is going to be my next release.

Majuu Sensen OVAs: Starseeker says its still on. So we'll get it eventually, once both she and I have some more free time.

Well, anyway, you've been warned. Things are going slow, but I'm going to try and pick up the pace. This month has been brutal for me in terms of work, and it's going to stay that way for the rest of February.

Mazin What!?

Mazinkaiser. That's what.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Go Nagai's Mazinkaiser short story is in English.

When I say short story, I really mean short. After reading it, I really do wish there was more. But oh well.

Thanks goes to Kakyoin. He kindly offered to translate this story from the Italian edition. Thanks!

So, in the spirit of the holidays, take this surprise.

On the subject of other works: Mazinger volume 4 is fully translated and being worked on, so that's next up on the list. Getter Robo translation will continue after the holidays sometime.

Enjoy!

P.S. Go Nagai wrote Mazinkaiser as 魔神皇帝 instead of the usual マジンカイザー. 魔 is demon, 神 is God, 皇帝 is emperor. Pretty cool.

596 Pages of Getter Robo

The second chapter in volume 2 is an entirely new story, exclusive to Getter Robo Saga!

Edit: Replaced the links with new ones, which include redone cover scans. Thanks to all who voted.

New cover scans:

The Demonic Beast (War) Front

Hey, been a while.

I've been doing [insert list of excuses] and haven't released anything in a while. But, releases shall be forthcoming shortly.

Anyway, during this time I've tracked down LD rips of the original Majuu Sensen (The official English title is "The Demonic Beast Front" as seen on the Action Comics manga edition) OVA, which was made in about 1990. I uploaded them and shared them on /m/(and someone else spread them to Garada), so I figure I'll post the links here, also.

Good news about that whole thing, also. Starseeker, our glorious translator for the Mazinger manga and a slew of mecha anime, said she would like to translate these 3 OVA episodes once xmas break hits. So, that'll be another joint project. Dynamic Pro Scanlations is stepping into the world of fansubbing, eh?

Anyway, take these OVAs, sit on your hands and wait for our next release. It should be soon.

魔獣戦線 第1部 「魔獣、来たる」
The Demonic Beast Front Episode 1 - Here Comes the Beast

魔獣戦線 第2部 「引き裂かれた翼」
The Demonic Beast Front Episode 2 - Torn Wings

魔獣戦線 第3部 「永遠なる炎」
The Demonic Beast Front Episode 3 - Blaze into Eternity

P.S. Dynamic Pro Scanlations? More like Ishikawa Pro Scanlations.

Mazinger Z Volume 3

Well, there's volume 3. 2 more volumes to go. Yipee.

Go over to Starseeker's blog and thank her, and don't forget to check out her other great projects! http://ptolemaios.wordpress.com/

Also, I'd like to correct a MAJOR mistake on the Getter Robo Anthology release! I forgot to credit our DONATORS. I feel like an ass. Without them, it would have never been done! This goes for all of our future Getter releases! Donations really do make or break some very important things around here. You know who you are, and thank you.

Getter Robo Anthology Chapter 1

First release of Anthology!

This chapter is by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi, creators of the Linebarrels of Iron manga.

Releases for Anthology will be sporadic due to C-K's busy schedule, but since no chapters are related to each other, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Still working on finishing up Mazinger Z volume 3, and I've gotten the translation for Getter Robo volume 2 chapter 1.

Enjoy.

The Calm Before the (Spin) Storm

Sorry, no releases this time around. I've been working my ass off, but nothing is ready for release quite yet.

Currently working on Mazinger Z volume 3 up to 50 pages shy of being complete. So once I catch up to about 175 on editing, and then get the translation for and edit the last 50 pages, we'll have a release. It's almost there.

This week marks the first week of Getter Robo volume 2 translations. Damage is currently working on the double length 1st chapter, and once we have that out, we'll start doing week by week chapter releases of the original Getter Robo.

So, things have been building up for a while on all fronts, and it'll soon be ready to burst into tangible releases. Bare with us for just a little bit longer.


On another note, do you all remember the "Terror of the Two Demons" chapter from the UFO Robo Grendizer manga? It seems Go Nagai did not write nor draw that chapter, but good ol' Ken Ishikawa did. Interesting. One has to wonder what his other contributions were in various Dynamic Pro manga.

Translation: Ken Ishikawa's 「Grendizer vs Double Mazinger」 from (Terebi Magazine August 1976 Special Issue)

It seems the title was changed for the compilation we translated, but that page proves that it's the same story. Who would've thought.
