Demon Knight Chapter 1

I'll dump it later. Also, seems like there's a fuck ton of Nagai/Devilman threads lately, huh?

Yeah, I can actually work on other things since I've dropped Terra Formars which was a weekly series.

Nagai's art in color looks really good. Also, aaaaah!

>>14616158
>Nagai's art in color
This is the reason why I wanted this translated.

A farcry from Verotik's colouring of Shin Devilman.

>>14616235
How many chapters overall?

So are we just ignoring the fact that this is a blue board for giant robots?

Just 3 so it shouldn't take too long to complete. Then I'll get back on Saga.

>>14616385
Is there any hope of you maybe one day doing Z Mazinger?

>>14616916
He better do MazinSaga in that case

Haven't read any Mazinger past Great. Are they reboots or are they in continuity to the original? Also, are they meant to be any good?

>>14618156
So it's cool to post D&D paladins here now?
No, really...the last Nagai thread had images that would get you banned from /d/ and this is a blue board. I'm not hating on Devilman, but this isn't even slightly /m/.

>>14619199
MazinSaga has some awesome art.

>>14619279
Devilman is /m/.

Mazinger Z vs Devilman
Getter Robo vs Devilman

Mazinger is considered part of Devilman's universe.

>>14619279
Godzilla doesn't belong on /m/.

And yet, here we are.

>>14619419

No, it's not. That movie has alternative retelling to events from both TV series.

>>14619199
>Haven't read any Mazinger past Great. Are they reboots or are they in continuity to the original? Also, are they meant to be any good?

I have and honestly, I was not much impressed by them.

>>14619482
>That movie has alternative retelling
Nowhere it says that the movies are alternate.

Every continuity is treated in the same fashion. There is no "main" continuity here, otherwise you will have to decide which is the main one, between the anime, Nagai's version, Ota's version, Okazaki's version.

This isn't Gundam where everything fits in a nice order. The point is, Devilman is part of the Mazinger mythos, making it /m/.

In the end, it doesn't matter, it's because it's the people who define what goes here, rather than what the board name says.

FYI, tokushit is still considered not /m/, and yet here we are.

>>14619487
I don't care. I want to read them and for my own opinion.

>>14619498

In the movie, Mazinger pretty much destroy the demon tribe by himself because he just got his brand new Jet Scrander. In a completely different way than it was in the show. How is that not an alternative retelling?

>>14619199
Z Mazinger is a sort of AU where they got the idea of zeus and hades from in the shin mazinger anime.

>>14619505
>How is that not an alternative retelling?
The tv series is an alternate retelling to the movies as well.

That's why.

>>14619588

And the similarities end there. Z Mazinger is just boring. All the characters have no personality and the plot is predictable and not very good.

>>14619504

Ok. But someone asked for an opinion.

That line doesn't make any sense.

Is this a canon prequel to Devilman? I've never even heard of this before.
You're doing God's work, anon.

Can't you read? She mentioned that she wouldn't mind becoming a monster and was wondering if Amon would too if she loved him.

>>14620075
It was done by Nagai so yes. Also, it has been mentioned from time to time so you should have heard of it before if you've been constantly browsing all Devilman related threads.

>>14620083
No, he's right. That line is nonsensical. Post the original page.

Looks like we found the crabstick of 2016

>>14621274
>>Yuria, will you ride on my pegasus?

Nothing wrong with this is pegasus is a species in this.

>>14621274

Sounds like typical Nagai's writing for me.

>>14621627
Nice English, Pablito.

>>14620479
Clearly you can't read

>>14621811
Or maybe you don't notice that it's an awkward as fuck translation.

If the English is this bad, who knows how terrible the translation is.

>>14622168
And yet you can still understand it, what's the biggie?

This is actually fine

Fate led us to this place.

I came here as a soldier./ I was brought here as a soldier for battle
>>>14619917
>>are they weird creatures we have never seen before
They are strange things that I've never seen before./Have you seen these strange things before
She's asking Urga what they are, and if he's seen them or at least it looks that way from the context
>>>14619924
>>A human!? or it looks like a beast and a plant
A human!? It looks like a plant like beast.
Fishy froggy kinda people. That's a strange line so explain a strange concept the initial translation isn't that bad but it almost feels like it has to be kinda awkward.
>>>14619940
>>would you turn into the enemy if I love you
Would you turn into a monster with me if I loved you?
This is still feels wrong but it reads a little better to me.
>>>14619946
>>oh it appears that you are excellence demon hunters
Oh, it seems that you're excellent demon hunters.
>>>14619949
>>Yuria, will you ride on my pegasus?
This seems pretty good to me.

I figured I'd try my hand at offering some a bit of a patch instead of just bitching about it.

>>14624493
>I figured I'd try my hand at offering some a bit of a patch
You don't even know what the original dialogue is. This is actually like a HK translation of a translation at this point.

>>14624637
True but, think of as just betaing a story for a guy who has problems with english. Sure we could do a more correct version if we had the original moon and all but it could be fun to try and work with what we've got.

>>14624493
Too bad xpearse is probably going to ignore you.

>>14625869
Probably I was a little late and I would love to see chapter 3.

>>14624493
You are just rewriting it, that's probably not even the way it was originally worded anyway

>>14625970
Rewriting is okay as long as the meaning is the same.

I hate conservative translators. I heard they messed up the logh novels because they stuck too much to the script.

>>14625970
Dude languages aren't a code if you translate things like it is you'll lose the meaning.

>>14625974
Tell that to pushkin

>>14625981
Says a typical american

>>14626032
Well why not just use google translate?

>>14626042
I can't believe you even said that

>>14626056
Its exactly as dumb as trying to translate every word without caring meaning behind them.

>>14626057
Then why did you even say that? You clearly aren't making much sense to begin with

>>14625974
>Rewriting is okay as long as the meaning is the same.
But that's the thing. You don't know the original meaning.

>>14626893
It was fine for a axed one, it was more like a gaiden than a story, it could end way worse than that.

>>14626893
You should take advice instead of acting like a child.

Your English is bad, and you're not even willing to listen.

>>14628649
Just ignore xPearse, it's for the best.

>Are they reboots or are they in continuity to the original? Also, are they meant to be any good?
Rumor has it that Z Mazinger isn't.
I flipped through the scans and there seemed to be plenty of robot action, but definitely an abrupt ending. But that's just me with no knowledge of written japanese.

Thoughts on Demon Knight overall?

>>14630329
How long is it?

>>14630352
Eat a bag of salted, malt cocks. That's not the point. The point is that I don't have to listen. Cry all you want because I won't change a thing. Accept that fact.

>>14630499
So you're fine with broken English?

>>14630499
>Thoughts on Demon Knight overall?
I think I would have enjoyed it more if the English wasn't so broken in places.

>The point is that I don't have to listen. Cry all you want because I won't change a thing.
He wasn't crying. He was offering suggestions, and judging from the comments I read over at the happyscans blog, you clearly need it.

>Thanks for the new scan, but no thanks for making me discover that lunatic's blog... The guy spouts out stuff like "two bombs weren't enough" about the Japanese because... what? Because he disliked something he read in Devilman Saga? Has he even *read* the original Devilman? Fuck this fascist. I don't want to owe him anything. I'd rather do my own shitty job of reading it one balloon at the time through fucking google translate.

>Xpearse is known for his bad translation quality. The guy flubs simple Japanese all the time and has an extremely poor grasp of English. Many people boycotted his Terraformars scanlation because of its terrible quality to the point that he stopped doing it and switched over to Nagai works instead. Do not read Xpearse "translations

>>14630519
Apparently yes.

>Ha. Urga looks like fucking Beast from X-Men now especially with that chest belt the fucking furry. I was tempted to put in furry instead of therianthrope for laughs like that "furry phenomenon" line in Cutie Honey vs Devilman Lady

More confirmation that xPearse's translations are trollsubs.

>>14633005
>Ha. That's not why I dropped Terra ForMars. Get your facts straight for once.
It doesn't change the fact that people complained about the terraformars scanlations because they were of terrible quality.

I hope you're not leaving Demon Knight in this state, especially when it can be massively improved upon if you only got a quality checker to read your lines instead of releasing stuff in a hurry.

And here's the part that gets me, people are offering you free suggestions. You don't even need to do qc yourself because of people like >>14624493

>>14633529
But he doesn't know the original line and is simply editing it to how he sees fit. There's a difference.

As for Terra ForMars, people did complain but they never actually gave examples unlike here so I do appreciate that.

>>14633527
>massively improved
The entire thing is not as broken as you're making it out to be. But, I guess I could improve upon a few things. Not now, though. Let me get something else out of the way first.

>>14633632
>But he doesn't know the original line and is simply editing it to how he sees fit. There's a difference.
The quality checker is only here to check if what you're writing makes any sense in English. You're the one who needs to call the shots on whether you think the version he gave is giving off the same meaning or not.

>The entire thing is not as broken as you're making it out to be
It's relative. Compared to other Nagai manga that are being released, yours is pretty broken in comparison.

If I were you, I'd actually ask help from groups like Happy Scans. Dynamic Pro scanlations already teamed up with them.

The guys who were doing Devilman G were pretty a good, but they stopped.

>>14632793
