Black Lagoon - Shaitane Badi: Chapter 3 (1/2)

I'm fully aware that most of the internet-isms used here were not in use during the early nineties. See the slang clause from chapter 1. If you're reading this, I have faith in your ability to understand 21st century English net-talk.

This is the first half or so of the chapter. Can't say when the second half will come out, but keep an eye out for it. There's a few familiar faces who're showing up very soon. Hope you enjoy.

I love them all already.

Yes! Raws!

For the record, no, I'm not going to scanlate this yet. Mangastream's cleaners could probably kick my arse five ways to Friday, and their translations aren't unreadable. I guess. I suck at translating things that other people are already doing, anyway. Zero motivation. So yeah, this is just gonna be ranting and raving and rambling from me. Spoilers below the cut.

Oh hay what's this

Someone brought this to my attention:

There's a PDF version of Children of Bottle compiled here, which is pretty awesome. They didn't use my edits of the images especially the color ones I spent hours on yeah I know right but for those of you who may want to read the Amazing Adventures of Czeslaw Meyer and Minions Friends somewhere that's not on my dinky blog, there you have it.

edit: I tried my hand at making my own version here.

KIO SHIMOKU! YOUR HEAD BELONGS TO ME

Totally not Madarame Harunobu

Are you serious I mean what the hell totally not cool man teasing on this level should be illegal in 300 countries

By the by, "madara" (斑 as in Madarame Harunobu) means "spotted," and "saki" (咲 as in Kasukabe Saki) means "to bloom." The rage, it is unfathomable.

I have work up to me arse and this still has made me stop for a good half hour just to read up on it.

Black Lagoon - Shaitane Badi: Chapter 2

The last woman you ever want to be the last woman you ever see.

See, this is why I don't make promises. Dohohoho~

Next chapter is probably going to take even longer to get out. Don't wait on it. I've got a tidal wave of work coming on. I may release the chapter in parts, depending on how well I think it flows chopped into even smaller bits.

To the dude who asked about pdf: I shamelessly admit to complete ignorance in that field. If you're willing to drop me a line by email telling me how to do it, I may be willing to go about doing it, sometime in the future.

...I just wish I had a raw to read instead of mangastream's translations. But hey, I'm in no position to complain.

Other than that. So. Good.

I don't care what some people are saying about how Kio is milking his cash cow or somesuch. I loved this manga so much, and it hasn't changed a bit. Maybe my nostalgia glasses are blinding me. I can't bring myself to care.

I laughed out loud so many times. Goddammit, Kuchiki. I'll say it for you.

 Pak Tsz Sin of the Kan Yi Fan Triad, the Walking Dude, Babe. Chang Wai-San.

Complete PDF here

There's a scene straight out of a John Woo film in this chapter. Remember, rule of cool. Put those Reality Shades away.

I realize some/all of the slang used here may not have been in use in the early/mid-nineties or even used by the same people, but 1. I wasn't there at the time and 2.I'm not getting paid for this anyway and I can't be arsed to look up everything for historical accuracy. If you are a college professor of slang and reading incorrect slang gives you aneurysms or somesuch, I apologize in advance.

Next chapter should might possibly be a bit quicker since it's just shy of half the length of this one.

Much thanks to passerby Anonymous(es? Anonymii?) and Anonymous Stem for putting forth herculean effort to make the double spread with Caroline and Jake look good.

Enjoy.

Original work and illustrations by Hiroe Rei
Written by Urobuchi Gen

Complete PDF here

All right, here we go again. Hello, Revy. It's been a while.

Urobuchi's style is a bit different from Narita's. I dunno if I'll be able to get it across quite right, but I'll try my best. I have no idea if that's the correct romanization of Arabic. It's supposed to mean "devil's wind." Any pointers in regards to that would be welcome.

I might be splitting the actual chapters into portions because they're long (I'd wager around 15k to 20k words apiece) and I don't wanna leave you guys with periods where there's nothing to read. Well, long periods. Longer than usual. Eheheh. We'll see.

Without spoiling too much about the story, the book's kinda divided into three separate storylines with varying degrees of seriousness. I think that together they kinda manage to touch on everything that Black Lagoon has to offer, from the bleak and serious (dare I say grimdark?) parts to the the more humorous off-the-wall bits.

I liked it well enough. I guess it's up to me to help you enjoy it too.

Oh, and the second color spread of Roanapur is supposed to look crinkled like that.

So about Balalaika.

Where the hell does her real name being "Vladilena" come from? Is it in the anime or something? I'm seeing it all over the English web and I cannot find a source for this thing, especially when her real name (which is decidedly different from Vladigoddamnlena) is explicitly stated in the light novel. Seriously, it's [citation needed] here.

Just something that's been bothering me on and off for months.

P.S. Baccano chapter incoming tonight. Probably.

edit: Thanks. Vladilena N. Vasilinov, eh? Okay, that's even dumber than I first surmised, because dropping your real name in front of the authorities after engaging in a completely avoidable firefight which you initiated, just to get out of a minor pinch, would defeat the whole purpose of having a code name in the first place. Balalaika is not that stupid. God damn.

Bambino! Volume 5, Chapter 53

Mediafire Download

That's the end of this volume. I got good news and bad news.

Good news is, I'm (tentatively, maybe sorta kinda perhaps and every other weasel term I can think of) back with some free time to spare for fan translation.

Bad news (for you!) is that I'm probably not gonna be spending that time on Bambino. More specifically, I wanna focus on finishing up the volume of Baccano I've been working on for forever and a half months, and after that, maybe (if I'm lucky and get someone awesomely skilled [hint hint] to merge that blasted spread for me) the Black Lagoon novel by Urobuchi Gen which I feel was pretty good and worth giving a shot.

So, yeah. Them's the breaks. Enjoy the chapter.

I'm not dropping Bambino, just to make things clear. Though if anyone wants to take it on they're free to do so without needing my permission (seriously, asking scanlators for permission is just silly).

I would like to say I'm back, but this is more finishing stuff I was working on before than anything. Anyway! This is the longest chapter of the bunch; all that's left is one more chapter and then an epilogue or two. Color pages are coming soon. I think. That may be a Soon™ ala Blizzard Entertainment. done.

HELP WANTED

I don't normally ask or look for help, but this is so far beyond my meager photoshop abilities it's not even funny.

I need someone who can merge a double page illustration spread. Preferably so well that you can't tell the two pages were separate. It goes without saying that you would have to be better than me, though I suppose that's not such a tall order. There are Hands in the spread's gap (I say this with a deliberate capital H), and Shading. I can't offer you anything solid, but if you wish I could include a credits page or summat that mentions you in tones of awed wonder once I get started on this project.

If you feel that you are a bad enough dude (or gal) to undertake this mission, click the jump break and see what needs to be done. Big thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who takes the time to fiddle with this.

I think I've got what I need. Much thanks to the kind soul(s) who pitched in. (˚∀˚)

OKAY MAYBE SLIGHTLY DEADER THAN I THOUGHT

Err... sorry?

I wanted to wait until I had something to post but that looks more and more like it's gonna take awhile. Other things have been taking priority.

So, uh, yeah. See you when I get some breathing room.

Rumors of my death...

...are (sadly?) unfounded.

Rumors of my staying up till god knows when in the morning to watch the World Cup and generally partying, however, are not. Sorry to all of you who've been waiting for releases and especially so since I promised to tell you all if I went missing.

Schedule is as follows:
1. Watch the World Cup.
2. Finish the current volume of Bambino.
3. Finish the volume of Baccano I'm stalling on.
4. ???
5. ?!?!

So yeah. That's me in a nutshell right now. Go Germany!

Guys, I translate for a living. It just so happens that my hobby is pretty much the same as my job, except I get to do what I enjoy and want to share instead of essays, reports and speeches that could put a grown man to sleep from fifty yards in five seconds flat.

If you look at the little Project Status link to the upper right, you'll notice that my schedule is whatever I decide it is. This ain't gonna change, though if I ever go on a break of more than a few days like I did in early April, I'll post it here. So please, enough questions about when this or that'll be out. It'll be out when it's out, except when it isn't. And in that case it'll be out later.

This ain't aimed at all of you, just a few, hmm, shall we say, overly eager individuals. If you think it's you, it probably isn't. If you know it's you, then yeah, it's you.

The Alchemists Who Leapt Through Time

So I watched the Baccano! dub for the first time a few days ago and holy shit Elmer has a British accent. This is so hilarious and awesome I can't even begin to describe it. One of the few dub voices I think is really great. I'll be trying to reflect a bit of that in Elmer's lines from now on. I'm shamelessly biased and fickle, so other characters (like Maiza) may not speak with approximations of their dub accents, and others may.

The four main chapters are based on the four kanji of the saying 喜怒哀樂 (kidoairaku). Read one by one the characters mean joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and together they come to mean the scope of human emotion.

Looking Back on Jotaro's Bizarre Adventure With Pathetic Memory

Go, Blaziken! Magician's Fire!

うろ覚えで振り返る 承太郎の奇妙な冒険 (requires a Nicodou ID)

...I have to say, unless you've read and enjoyed JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3, this probably won't make much sense. No, scratch that. Any sense.

This is basically one guy drawing the Stardust Crusaders part of JoJo's as he remembers it, complete with stunning (?) voice overs and astounding (??) sound effects. Enjoyment factor of this probably hinges more on knowledge of Stardust Crusaders' story than actual Japanese knowledge, though of course the more you understand, the more injokes and conversation you'll get.

As the title says, the humor comes from the artist's hilariously patchwork memory, sometimes mixing and matching events, often reinterpreting them completely. Also cameos from Dio that I coulda sworn weren't in the original.

How did he fit in there? Now there's some fridge logic for you.

What's pretty impressive is that this guy's kept updating for over a year (started in January 2009; last update was March 7th 2010) with over 30 installments. And... well... I can't really describe it. You just have to see for yourself.

Meet Phil.

Somehow I had the feeling I'd end up doing this when I scribbled out that ramble about this book. It wasn't enough for me to talk about reading it, noooo. I just had to want to share it, too. Sometimes I think I set myself up for this kinda thing.

This'll probably be what I do when I don't feel like doing the image cleaning/editing/typesetting that's required for Bambino! I'll still try to get a chapter out for that at least every few days, though, so don't worry too much. I know these bits have already been translated on bakatsuki but I hear those are J to C to E translations and we all know what that means.

I am not doing the dramatis personae, because it contains a shitload of spoilers and honestly I don't even know why it's at the front of the book.
