Red Eye's for the love of fuck Red Eye's.
Eleven Soul at three chapters wouldn't be bad either which has 15 volumes.

I'd love to see the rest of Kerberos Panzer Cop or Birdy translated. Patlabor or Rideback would fine too.

Amen. That would rock. I think it's unfinished, though.

>>14295359

I think *some* of Red Eyes has been translated...

Me, I'd like to see OZN (that's "Ozunu"). Sadly, it's unfinished. Which is a real shame because it's fucking awesome.

I'd also love to see GoDaGun fully translated. It's only had the first few chapters translated. It's by the same guy who did Kurohime.

>>14295405
No, it's completely finished. It's just two volumes long. And yes, some of Red Eyes is finished.

Best Robo design

Best Daisaku

GR-2 and GR-3 are heroes (which would make this fucking awesome to have in SRW)

A third group of crazy superheroes aside from the two that were in the OVA (the Murasame clan)

and of course, more Alberto being based as usual.

I'm just amazed that no one's touched this for six years given how highly regarded the OVA generally is

I have magazine scans I got from Share maybe a couple years ago. They're average resolution but quite quality, although volume scans would be better for anyone wanting to translate since there's probably some added stuff and maybe some changes.
I have 15 chapters, don't know if that's the whole series.

Nailing it down to just one is way too limiting.

My favorite mangaka is Yokoyama Mitsuteru and I'd love to be able to read his entire gallery of works.

It doesn't matter to me if it's good or bad, I just want to read stuff like Sono Nawa 101, Daimos, and Number V7. Even the historical stuff that hasn't been translated.

I'm honestly obsessed. I pick up raws whenever I can. If shipping wasn't such a hassle in my part of the world, I'd aim for physical copies.

One day, maybe.

Why not ask him? He's getting caught up on projects. Oh wait, typical dick fan always wanting more more more.
>>
>>14325900
That's the problem with doing translation projects. People are never satisfied, they want it for free, they want it fast and they want it in professional quality.
>>
>>14325945
Most scans are better than official anyways. At least they have people who know the series they translated
>>
>>14326005
Hahaha.
No.
>>
>>14325945
>they want it fast and they want it in professional quality
Those last two are a lost cause, since there's at least a handful of fan translators at best that can do well, or both, so that's not always guaranteed for every series. The best course of action is to forget about certain translators and check back years later to see if anything happened.
>>
>>14326013
Except when translators don't receive lots of downloads or nice comments, they quickly lose motivation.
>>
>>14326008
Really? Let's look at everything Gundam released in the US. You think they quality checked that stuff? Fuck, vertical couldn't even use proper terminology in the Origin.
>>
>>14326029
And the average fan translation can't even use a standard fucking font.
>>
Nobody takes anime or manga seriously and translators are paid peanuts.

I hope one day machine translations can take over.
>>
>>14326042
Probabaly because you have to pay for that fucking font. Whizbang (I think that's one) is a pay only font. But it still better formatting in most official publications with God awful awkward truncations
>>
>>14326069
You don't know how translation works do you? You aren't paid peanuts. A typical light novel can neg you $4500 a volume. Manga can be $250-$500 a volume.
>>
>>14326069
Machine translation will never pick up on nuance or context for Japanese. It's pointless to argue this.
>>
>>14326094
Would be funny to see what happens first: Japanese authors learn English and self translate or computers learn Japanese.
>>
>>14326091
A translator isn't going to do more than a single volume per week. Your $500 figure is too high. It's more like $200 - $300 on average. That's only $800 - $1200 a month, which is shit.
>>
>>14326177
Again, you don't know how translation works do you? I've done freelance work. You set your own rates dickwad.
>>
>>14326091
>You aren't paid peanuts
Yes they are.
They get a few thousand dollars for translating 20+ hour games
>>
>>14326198
Keep assuming, bro. You want to post your invoices?
>>
>>14326212
Because it's done by character count. You think the hour amount for the game matters? Pfffft no.
>>
>>14326257
Confidentiality clause, ass. Ever wonder why you don't find out about series being released right away?
>>
>>14326310
Crop part of it, ace. Also, confidentiality clauses on invoices? You're just a liar. That's literally just a receipt of work that you can show anyone.
>>
>>14326318
Um no. Because the invoices have project codes and titles dingaling

>>14326526
>implying publishers pay "freelance workers"

Dare I ask is there more?
>>
>>14326526
Just block it on your screenshot, champ. Post a correspondence email. Post something to prove your claims. Post something from a released work, since you're so experienced. Surely you must have already released titles, right? Right?
