@Mr.:
Actually, starting about a month ago, the group Kindan no Aku has been scanlating one chapter a week. They just finished the third volume.
That's great news for my pimping project actually. To those who want to read Bastard!!, wait a little, I'll soon distribute it on a more convenient way than having to download chapter after chapter.
-
That had to be hands down, some of the best manga artwork I've ever seen, EVER. I really need to get started on this series.
-
although not in any of the book stores here in canada that I can find :(
orly? That is sad sad indeeeed. Check some ebay stores or rightstuf.com when they have their annual 33% off all viz sales, its how I get almost ALL my manga.
-
Bumping this to say my pimping project has been accepted. If you're interested in reading Bastard!!, say it here and I'll shoot you a pm with a link to download the volumes. For the moment only the first pack (vol 1 and 2) is translated, the rest is raw, I'll update the 11 other packs once new scanlated chapters are released.
-
I'm interested. I have heard/read that it is good manga.
-
PM sent.
Come on ladies and gentlemen, free Bastard!! for all, relish while it's fresh.
-
I got it. Thanks.
But how do you download in that place? -
you register then you click download and select the manga you want.(its free to register and the speeds are blazing fast)
-
Ok, thanks for info.
EDIT:
Holy shit it takes long to download from there. -
I'd love to give a new manga a try. I need to branch out, I've been sticking to solely the shonen trinity lately.
thanks :)
-
Where do you bas…I mean ppl get this manga from? Do you read the Viz releases? If so are they worth getting or should I aim to get the RAWs? I hear he refrences a lot of Heavy Metal bands, sorta like how Araki refences music bands as such in JoJo & SBR.
-
From what I understood the VIZ translations are too kiddy and don't fit with the original fouler language. They also changed a bunch of heavy metal inspired names due to copyright issues. So yeah, I'd suggest you to try the raw/scanlations. And how convenient, the first 2 scanlated volumes are right here, you just have to ask…
-
^I found Chapter 1-28 in StopTazmo.com and leech my ass off :). Too bad th net in my country is as fucked up as ever >_<.
-
So, has anybody read the first volumes? I'd be interested to hear some opinions.
-
Hmmm well since it suffered censorship/I'm too cheap to buy the series, I'll check out those scannies. Probably when I get my deskjob back this summer, hehehe
Oh and duh, my avatar is an example of said edits. A Dark Sneider move, from Judas Priest-> Jude the Priest. I still got it, tho. :)
-
It seems the KnA releases of Bastard!! (Vol. 3 onward) are scans of the VIZ releases, not translations of the Japanese volumes. Ah, well the VIZ verion isn't that bad, though I'm intrigued about that "pimping project"
-
Is that true? I noticed the names of the spells were in a gothic front like in Bennyb's avatar but I supposed it was just the scanlators being coherent with the "official" VIZ material. Why the hell are they releasing a chapter every month then? Surely it doesn't take that long to scan a chapter from a book.
-
well I'm now out of RAWS to read and DAMN that was an interesting ride, badass, manly
but I love how the most serious situations can be mood shifted just by D.S. going for a boob, good shit indeed.
while on the subject of DS being Awesome
!
-
Glad you liked it. And it only gets better.
Basically you need pack 4 right? I'll try to upload it on rapidshare and the likes and send you the link. May take some time though.
-
now it has become another series to read weekly, and this group is doing a real good job with it.
-
Aldrich? I would LOVE to read Bastard!! I've been looking for a place to read the series but to no avail. Seriously, this manga get's no love. I need to get in while the getting is good.
PM Please! I need scanlations ASAP!:sad: I'm new to the series so I need to start from the beginning.
-
You got PM.
For Taleran, a rapidshare link to pack 4 raw:
http://rapidshare.com/files/27876300/Bast_pack_4.zip.html
And I know nobody will know what I'm talking about, probably even not the Bastard!! fans if there's any here, but I just bought the Black Rainbow novels and needed to say Gain Esperanza definitly kicks all kind of asses. That is all.
-
Oh crap. This guy has some amazing art and he got good, fast! Like I was checking out vol 1+2 scanlations, then I compared them to the previous pics that people posted and they were awesome! I still have a lot of catching up to do but this guy rocks. His art got better as he went on.
The Action Figures look pretty cool too. I guess D.S "Level's Up" later on in the manga or something. But yeah it's pretty bad ass. I wish there was more info on the net though. This Manga get's no love.
-
At this point the most comprehensive internet source for info on Bastard!! is probably Yakattack's Bastard!! directory thread on Narutofan (with some help from yours truly). Check it out, but be warned it's spoilers galore:
-
I think its just because its not translated yet, but the story seems to jump around alot in the middle and is fucking confusing
-
Nah even translated it's extremely confusing. It's almost as if it's another manga, but somehow it keeps a certain coherence.
-
That thread on the Narutofan forums was very informative. Even if it did contain plenty of spoilers, it was well thought out and I just can't wait to read the rest of the Manga. I am enjoying the Manga so far and it really is cool.
-
well Kidan is now up to Chapter 35, right in the middle of Nei and DS
and I found something called the Bastard! artbook on Emule its downloading right now.
-
Kidan just scans the Viz version, that's so shortdicked.
Anyway a couple more colorspreads:
!
huff huff huff animu ass
Sorry, they made me do it.
-
might aswell post these here to
I'm gonna be packing up the volumes as DSS finishes each one and heres Volume 1
Volume 1 [Dead Sea Scans]: (Gigasize)

Good, good. Did you talk to Yak and Haterade or did you just decide to do it by yourself?
-
Holy crap, I just read volume 1, and it was freaking amazing. The first three volumes redrawn must be am artgasm.
Dark Schneider is pretty much the God of main characters also.
-
Check by yourself, Haterade uploaded the redrawn version of vol 2 (it's RAW though, we don't plan on scanlating it):
Bastard!! revised version vol 2
And yeah, DS is the god of main charcters indeed. It's a shame he's so unknown and ignored, very few can compare in terms of humour and overall badassness.
-
Thanks a ton for the link, and I think DS (and the series as a whole) was sold for me when he blew that old wizard to bits with the Venom spell. So very awesome.
-
and for some comparison of volume 2 original to Volume 2 now
Now:
!
Original:
!
-
It's difficult to decide which one's better.
Oh, I showed a couple of spreads and a few pages from the redraw of volume 2 to the "anime" club at my school, and get this: they thought the art sucked. HAHAHAHAHA.
-
For a laugh, what kind of series do the gentlemen at your anime club like? I suppose that if it doesn't involve 8 year old girls with green hair and teacup sized eyes in skimpy outfits it's not good enough.
-
I don't even know the titles of most of the crap the majority of those retards watch and read, mostly generic bishonen and loli like you mentioned. Inuyasha, Trinity Blood, Blood+, Negima, Naruto II, Princess Princess, Strawberry Marshmallow, and the FMA anime are a few specific titles that are popular. FLCL, One Piece, the FMA manga, DragonBall, and ES21 are all generally despised. Apparently One Piece is brainless and has bad character designs, Naruto II has an excellent and well paced plot, and Bastard!! and FullMetal Alchemist both have terrible art.
Oh, and they're all Sasuke worshipers too.
-
lawl @ OP has bad character designs.
Tell them I wish they'd get genital warts.
-
Already been done. Hopefully next year I'll be able to impress them with Luffy vs. Blueno, since they didn't like Croc vs. Luffy.
-
I wanna start reading this series. But I think I wanna read the re-released as I see the art better than the old.
Is the re-releases being scanlated?
-
not at the current time
just read the scans then look through the scenes released its the same dialouge
-
Couldn't someone very easily scanlate them then?
-
possibly, but they're more interested in getting through the story then going back over whats already been done
-
Some text has been added in the redrawn version and given how we don't have any japanese speaker to help us scanlate you'll have to do with the old version.
-
or right forgot you guys are translated from the German / French volumes and not the japanese
-
this is one of the spreads in the Complete Edition Vol 1
!
Volume 2: Dead Sea Scans
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JBG728WQ -
The guys at Dead Sea Scans are doing an excelent job getting this out at breakneck speed. I'll wait until around Volume 8 before I start reading.
Also, I prefer the original character designs, though the redrawn is still very nice quality
-
this months RAW brought to you by giant Explosions, since even explosions can look really really nice

this may be a weird thing but thats the best drawn scream I've ever seen in manga
