When you buy it.

>>13861600
They're really worth the 11 dollars you poorfag

>>13861701
If they were 11 dollars I'd maybe buy them, but they are 25 dollars, plus shipping and customs taxes. The whole manga would cost me around $350 in total.

>>13861730
>It's more confortable

Speak for yourself. I'll read scans if I have to, but I find print still makes a better focus.

>>13861795
Spreads just don't work in manga volumes, worse even with hardcovers. Besides that, it's more of a preference, yeah.

>>13861802
Even scans only sometimes get spreads right, so I'll give that a partial point.

Seen a few where the join sticks out like a sore thumb.

>>13861824
Yeah, in good scans they get the center redrawn to make it fit good.

>>13861717

You are entitled to your opinion but that's just retarded

>>13862119
Chile, customs tax this shit heavily, and currently our currency is very devaluated. It's just not worth it, unless the omnibuses were less quality prints.

>>13861600
Never you fucking thief.

I'd love to purchase this to read, but I have no shelf space to store 13 volumes.

Why won't they let me buy it digitally?

Wait I just looped this up on amazon and the latest volume cover is Char and Amuro sword fighting, did they complete the full manga? I thought it was like 20 something volumes.

I actually ordered the whole set a few weeks ago from a local shop. Paid just shy of 20 bucks a volume, all brand-new. They're a fantastic read and highly recommended for anyone who loves the original series.

>>13862697
Why in the fuck would you ever want that? Printed manga ALWAYS looks better.

Except on the magazines. And good scans are barely any different from the printed tanks, while commodity makes the difference negligible.

Salt won't make your meme-think taste any better.

Madokami used to have all the volumes scanned, but someone went and deleted them. Volumes were scanned as they came out and uploaded to IRC, you should be able to find them there still.

>>13862888
>but someone went and deleted them.

Bet it was someone from /m/, just to fuck with people.

>>13862888
No they didn't. I've followed that page since the feature is available, log in everyday and they've never uploaded such thing. You just want to build fruitless hope.

>>13861600
Couldn't agree more with all those saying to buy it.
Don't be that guy man. The series is super worth your money.
I have mine right next to me and it looks fantastic. Vertical did a kick ass job here and put out a quality product.

>>13862928
I would, but customs taxes would make me end up paying around double.

>>13862931
So fucking what? Get over it and buy it, or fuck off.

>>13862937
I'd rather wait and complain regularly. Someday it will be scanned, it always happens.

>>13862937
Well that was unnecessarily harsh.

>>13862941
He keeps repeating it though like it somehow validates his refusal to make the purchase. There are plenty of people here that buy merchandise and pay customs taxes without crying about it and asking when the soonest possible time they will be able to steal it will be.

>>13862823
Actually not crazy about Zeta, but Thunderbolt is fucking awesome.

>>13862953
Calm down, man. Piracy isn't the same as stealing. I would never buy a book without reading it first. They aren't losing a customer because if piracy didn't exist I wouldn't buy it either. I'm not such a huge Gundam fan.

>>13862969
Indeed. I read the first three-ish volumes on Comic Walker before I bought the whole set of physical copies. I'll admit though that if I found the whole thing scanned online I probably would have saved my money.

I know it's useless but we have had the italian version scanned for years, easy to find on many forums.

>>13862992
If it was the spanish version I could use. Italian is too different to understand wholy

>>13862756
>I have no shelf space to store 13 volumes.

I would cringe so hard if I had to take apart any of the Gundam Origin volumes, to scan.

They're just so damn nice

>>13862794
>>13862818

I hope you encounter misfortune in your life soon

>>13862999
Italian isn't that different from Spanish desu.

It's a fairly easy language to learn especially if you know Spanish

>>13863032
and that's why the vertical release hasn't been scanned.

Because it would involve someone buying them and then tearing them apart to scan.

Throwing away money to give it to anons for free

Also in general, in recent years the lack of /m/en and wo/m/en actually capable of scanning things, translating things, uploading things has severely decreased. Literally no one who has the skill browses /m/.

I preordered each Vertical release as they popped up on Amazon. It's a great collection.

But yeah if you can't responsibly afford buying them, then I don't blame you for wanting scans so you can enjoy some good /m/ material. Hell, I'd love scans so I could have large images from the manga available on my PC. But you'll never see me tear my volumes apart to scan them in.

I might have to look into those Italian scans. Did they have the color pages during the section transitions too?

>>13861788
Well that's what you fucking get for free. You know what's a nice reader? A well-printed paper book.

Pay up or shut up.

>>13862756
Because I'm not an autistic purist. I don't have any need to hold the physical thing in my hand to enjoy it.

>>13861788
Beggars can't be choosers.

I hope this manga is as good as you guys claim, I just bought the first three volumes (used) on amazon.

>Also in general, in recent years the lack of /m/en and wo/m/en actually capable of scanning things, translating things, uploading things has severely decreased. Literally no one who has the skill browses /m/.

It's not that so much as a lack of interest in destroying already translated material.

Unless it's retro stuff or something very unlikely to be licensed (manga or anime for that matter) it's straight up a waste of time for a team to deal with, especially when there are so many other projects that are worth time and possibly money (if rips/scans don't already exist) that will never be translated and made available otherwise.

>>13862992
The whole thing is available in Italian, start to finish?

>>13862498
Oh thanks ill consider buying vol5 than

>>13863575
>lack of interest in destroying already translated material
There are several series fully translated by fans that still get scanned.

Does anyone know of any site that hosts Comic Walker's chapters? Their reader is absolute horseshit.

>>13863337
>>13863528

Not him but I'd also like to know how many sections it's gonna put out. Will it stay at 23 forever or will more release? If you don't know just say so, don't get all defensive.

>>13864084
this is different anon, this is from Vertical, you can't pirate Vertical, if you do you'll be the worse than Hitler!

I just read a volume in one setting at the local B&N whenever I go do shopping at the mall. Best part is that it's free.

>>13861709

>>13865852
There isn't.

Is the manga even that good? It can't be much better than 0079, can it?

>>13867434
it's... different, I thinks it's totally worth

I would've bought it if Vertical haven't pissed me with the shills that posted daily here before the vol1 was out saying that "IF YOU DIDN'T PREORDER YOU'RE FUCKED, YOU'LL NEVER GET YOUR GENDUM MANGA, NEVER EVER!" and then a few months after release every fucking volume was there and even with lowered prices in some stores

The covers are so bad, though.

>>13861788

Estoy seguro que soy más pobre que el par de weones y aún así logré completar la colección. Los Norma no valen la pena: son chicos, en papel barato y no había salido el final la última vez que los vi.

Lo bueno es que, como Amazon usa un servicio de transporte muy como las weas, más de una vez se pasaban de la fecha estimada. Fue cosa nada más que contactarse con Servicio al Cliente, asumir que "se perdió" y esperar a que devuelvan la plata. Lo bueno es que nunca se perdieron en realidad.

>>13867460
I'm pretty sure that Vertical didn't expect the success of The Origin. They're still a niche publisher, with a shoestring budget, that had to bend over backwards to Sunrise's whims (ie. covers) in order to get it published. And the biggest irony is that, if you believe Kadokawa, The Origin was conceived as a spearhead to promote Gundam in Western markets.

Cut it out, dipshit. Nobody is going to rip a hard-cover book in order to give the ungrateful fucks such as yourself a free download. Get a fucking library card, learn Japanese or find a real-life friend who you can borrow them from.

What you call "shilling" is actually gratitude to Vertical for publishing something that was considered long ago to have been a lost cause. Also, the fact that Vertical's PR guy actually came here to break the news isn't a minor thing.

>>13867728

like, you know... a shill?

Just buy it. The only legitimate excuse is joblessness or don't live in America. I feel bad for the dude that eventually does scan The Origin, that's like 300+ dollars he's literally throwing away, just so people can read it for free.

Wrong. And stop using stupid buzzwords like a moron. You sound like the /pol/-/r9k/-/tv/ idiots with "cuckold".

https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/shill

shill.
noun
1. An accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others.
2. A person who pretends to give an impartial endorsement of something in which they themselves have an interest.

>>13867793
>just like I would NEVER, EVER get my copy if I didn't preorder every fucking volume 6 months before release, right?
Hindsight is 20/20, moron. Could you've predicted that there were going to be subsequent printings? No.

Also, you do know that prices fluctuate before release, right? And that Amazon charges you the lowest price when it's finally released? Preordering saves you money. You would know that instead of ranting against non-existing "shills".

It's a damn shame that Vertical didn't put some image across all 12 volumes.

Since Vertical won't let me buy it digitally, I went ahead and ordered the first six volumes and plan on ordering the rest next month.

How much shelf space will I need for all 12 volumes?

>>13875938
Thicker/larger than your average manga volume, but not phonebook size like the old Akira prints.

Trying to think of a good comparable reference here.

>>13875963
well how thick is one volume compared to say...a dvd case?

Digital is always better than physical because digital lasts forever.

The anime and manga industry is notorious for shit being out of print or licensing issues.

And when something is out of print there are two options: used or piracy.

A place called 2nd and Charles. I haven't checked it out online but they might list em online as well.

How confortable are the books to read? Generally with hardcovers I feel like you can't open them too much or the spine gets damaged, which makes the panels in the center harder to see.

Sad World.

>>13888889
Ripping them online wouldn't be an issue though, the big problem is that you'd need to spend $300 at least to get the whole set to scan it.

On a similar topic, is Define ever getting translations? I heard it was worse than regular Zeta, but never got an explanation as to why.

>>13881400
Why the hell aren't you backing up more.

I have 2 backup hard drives with copies of everything I have on them. One of which is unplugged when not in use.

It's almost impossible to have 3 drives fail at the same time.

>>13890869
It was, but that seems to have died out.

A lot of people just don't like the art compared to Yas and the story isn't quite as grey as Origin. (The titans are nonredeemable bastards who are implied to have raped fa)

>>13890922
There's two translated chapters. Why did they drop it so fast?

The art is pretty good, maybe people were expecting exactly the same as Origin so they were disappointed. Moral Grayness is also not everything there is to a story, especially considering how Zeta is usually the favorite, and 0079 is mostly ignored. I don't think those are reason enough for the lack of notoriety, there must be something else.

>>13891804
Maybe it's because they were so disappointed by what they read of Char's Deleted affair that they didn't go further, out of expectations of it going bad (since Kitazume did that too).

But then again, someone did storytime some of it on here a while back, and there were complaints about how the Zeta's transformation was drawn.

>>13891804
The art was....
Yeah.

Well there's CGI in it.
Which blows my fucking mind.
Why.

>>13891804
>The art is pretty good
I agree. I mean, aside from the coloring (Kitazume should really to watercolors), the art is pretty decent.

>>13891830
>Well there's CGI in it.
Probably something edited in by the publishing house. Even Origin had a few bits of it.

>>13883410
Nice find anon

>>13885151
It really makes you wonder what the hell happened to Kycillia from a hot tomboy to an ugly hag.

>>13891823
I really liked Char's deleted affair, to bad it'll never get finished.

>>13891804
Speaking as one of the typesetters on it, I just never heard back on tl from later chapters.

That said, personally, I wasn't expecting Origin from it. All the same, as someone who enjoyed Zeta, I felt like Define was trying too hard at points. Between deciding the Titans weren't already over the top evil (see: Kakricon going from the kind of grounded counterpoint to Jerid's impulsiveness to a maniacally grinning team-killer) and the really clumsy attempts to justify his penchant for drawing female characters in their underwear (cause after CDA, it's hard NOT to see the Fa strip search scene as Kitazume fishing for an excuse to get his cheesecake on) I would really only be sticking with it after that if the rest of the group wanted it.

Also, between CDA and this, can we at least agree the man's art has gotten lazy since he went to digital?

>>13892464
>and the really clumsy attempts to justify his penchant for drawing female characters in their underwear
That reminds me, this has to be the only reason why he made up an entirely new character out of whole cloth (an Ukranian Olympic athlete IIRC) to be one of Jerid's girlfriends.

>>13885151
Noice.
By the way, no nude scenes with Lalah?

>>13861600
It's currently not worth scanning, because we would have to rip apart a beautiful hardcover.
