I come back from a hard day of labor to that comment?
Thanks. Thanks a lot guys.
-
I like it Aldrich, Esperanza has such an awesome design, and the coloring job looks pretty good. The only thing I'd say needs fixing is his skin color, which perhaps needs a little brightening.
-
next RAW is out and
Darsh arrives at his destination after much flying begins to attack and TOO BE CONTINUED
http://ddl.scantrad.fr/Raw/Bastard.zip
art still looks phenomenal
!
-
Link doesn't work AAAGH WHYYY NNOOOOOOO
Holy shit at the double page… The accuracy, the details... Even without CG it's mindblowing.
-
you have to go to that sight right click on the bastard link and go to save target as
only way to works for some reason
and thats not even the best art in the chapter, who the hell is that hes going to see?
-
Ok I was finally able to download it… And with the exception of a couple of pages that Hagiwara didn't finish and left as sketches, I can say without a doubt this is the most aesthetically pleasing piece of art I've ever seen in any manga.
Those of you who read this thread, even if you have no interest in reading Bastard!!, download this chapter. You don't know what you're missing.
-
…
I'm unable to download the chapter, "save link target as" isn't working.
Also, I've a question, what are the names of the Rides of Havoc (going by Al's sig) in the lower lower left, lower middle left, and lower right?
-
I'm uploading the chapter to sendspace since Ritual seems to be down.
The Riders of Havoc are (from left to right) Ikal Monroe, half-succubus sadistic lesbian sorceress (lol Hagiwara), Shishi Lizzy, stoical barehanded warrior, and Iason Gilan, crossdressing guildmaster assassin.
Here's the link:
-
Ah, thanks.
Holy shit. I have no idea what's happening, but Christ does it look awesome.
-
I like the halfdrawn effect as hes powering up at the end, it makes it more epic for some reason
-
next chapter is out heres the lst 3 pages (prepare for WTF)
!
-
Holy crap already?
Hahahaha I knew it. I was sure it was going to end up like that. That's the Bastard!! I love.
Though Hagiwara basically pulled a Togashi here.

ah, me posting there is meaningless now. but my post count will like it.

He's getting cocky, guess I'll have to SNITCH HIM OUT AGAIN
SNITCHSNITCHSNITCHSNITCHSNITCH

Hur hur. Good old Hagiwara does it again.
Also: boobs.

lulz
oi, his sig is one of the funniest things i've ever seen on teh intarweb. and why is Aldrich in red in it? like he's the boss of haters or something? BEWARE.
ahahah so much fun.
-
Yeah the guy somehow think I'm the leader of the cabal against him.
Not only in red, but red and in CAPS.
-
that's not canon, your name is in a higher font, not in CAPS.
anyway, he could at least try and think about why he got banned… i mean, most of the list of his haters are not exactly friends with the mods. and that's an euphemism.

Alright, you frogs finally got me to read this
I'm up to volume six (Ede Ee just emerged), and I'm enjoying it so far. It's really overwhelming yet, but I hope I'll see some cheesy goodness later on.
One question; does DI-MON do anything ever? Because right now he's probably one of my favorite characters.
-
Yeah, he comes back later.
What do you mean overwhelming?
-
Errr, typo, sorry
*it's not really overwhelming
as in I'm not fully into it yet.
-
Wait until you get to Anthrax.
That pretty much solidified this series being incredibly awesome for me.
-
I just finished volume 9
The cruelest of cliff-hangers :(
-
Is there any place on the web where I might buy the Japanese volumes of this series? I've looked on Ebay and the like and haven't seen any sign of them.
-
I thumbed through a few Viz volumes at the bookstore the other day, out of sheer boredom
Di-Amon's comeback was one of the greatest things I've ever read. I wish he'd get to do more. One thing I love is that he's actually pretty damn powerful and could probably rape most characters from other series.
I can't wait to see Abigail come back. He was definitely my favorite character out of DS's old generals and one of my favorite designs overall. I really like Gara as well; him being voiced by Tesshou Genda makes it all the better.
-
Dai Amon is Hagiwara's favorite character, he's bound to come back again one day. I thought it was pretty cool he was voiced by the same VA than Buggy as well.
And yeah Abigail and Gara are awesome and definitely the two best generals. Though Kal gets some points for pulling off the taciturn pretty boy with a sad past archetype without being unbearable. And I always found Ney pretty boring.
-
how is the viz trans? did they rape bastard or did they live it be?
-
Di Amon is Hagiwara's favorite? That's awesome. As for his voice actor, that was actually what got me interested in his character to begin with when I was reading about the series. Shigeru Chiba is probably in my top 5 favorite voice actors, he's pretty awesome. And judging from your post I'm assuming he hasn't appeared since his stint in volume 10.
Kal pisses me off because it's a repeat of one of my biggest conundrums in fiction; I actually tend to really like ice powers, but ice users are almost always complete douchebags. I think the only two decent ones I can think of off the top of my head
are Ao Kiji and Grey from Fairy Tail.Arshes Ney is nice for fanservice, but personality and battle-wise she's really boring.
Abigail's definitely one of my favorite designs, though. The manly jaw and cloak go well together. I really want to see him do something again and get an explanation for that retarded Anthrax mess.
I also wish he had a slightly better name.
-
Actually Hagi said Dai was his favorite villain. Another parallel with Buggy. He also said he was the one who was the most like him personality wise, which is not surprising since if you read the end of volume strips where Hagiwara talks about his life the guy seems seriously batshit insane.
I actually think Abigail's name fits him cause it goes well with his randomness and his originality. Design, fighting and personality wise he's a pretty unique character, and the fact he has an out of date female name adds to it IMO. And yeah he'll come back later and be pretty active.
As for Kal he's a bit of a douchebag yeah but for some reason he never bothered me too much. Maybe because the manga isn't entirely centered around him contrary to a certain ninja following the same archetype.
-
Damn it, I want to see Abigail fight when he's not some goofy Anthrax mech
How's volume 10 coming along?
-
We've been done with the translation part for a while now, so it's all up to the typesetter/cleaner now.
With the holydays coming there's good chances it'll be finished before the end of the year.
-
OK, continuing a discussion on this so the mods won't freak out on the Naruto Thread.
Are Bastard!! characters starting to wear modern clothes, or is that just a fun splash page? If it's the former than that's a bit of a disappointment.
I think my next avatar after this one will be Dai Amon.
-
Nah, that's just a cover page only thing. The two characters here are actually high ranked demons, and they don't have their horns and pointy ears and stuff here. That's supposed to be them in "real life", kinda like actors I guess.
If you want a Dai Amon avatar here's a page you should like, it's from the redrawn version of vol 2:
!
-
Good God. That's ridiculously awesome. I never noticed those little cross earrings before either.
So what's up with the monthly chapters? Did DS ever finish rampaging around blowing shit up?
-
That design is just badass in every way. Words can't really describe how pimp that guy is.
Where can I read Bastard online?
-
Well actually… Hagiwara took a break. Probably because he has to work on some unfinished chapters before vol 25 is out, and also the 5th complete edition volume.
He's kinda like Togashi.
-
Except his art doesn't suck terribly. I had no idea they had five complete volumes out, I bet redrawn Ede Ee will be incredibly awesome.
I asked this already, but is there any place where I could buy Bastard!! tankobon online?
-

That's pretty awesome
this is what I had lined up before:

-
Haha, yeah keep this one, it's fitting.
-
So, I just finished Vol. 2, pretty funny comic so far. And DS is everything I hoped he'd be. Love characters who constantly break the 4th wall.
And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this mangaka does hentai manga on the side.

Where do you guys get volume raws?
Or recent raws for that matter (other than Ritual)
-
I know it's been asked before(many times), but it got deleted from my source.
WHere can I find Bastard?
Edit: Nvm. Found up through volume 9
-
@Cap'n:

there used to be a website offering Seinen Raw's and it had Bastard!! on its list
but recently it still has the other ones but no Bastard!!
this was the site http://zin-seinen.vnmanga.com/series/
thankfully I kept all 24 volumes on my HDD
-
I'm seriously jonesing for some more Bastard!!
I have Katsucon in about 2 months so I might buy some tankos there if possible. But still, that's a while away.
-
well I could stick the raws onto megaupload
-
If you're not busy, that'd be cool.
In other news, I keep forgetting to bring this up, but has anyone here ever played Makai /Phantom Kingdom? I always thought the lead, Overlord(Daimao in the original) Zetta was definitely inspired by DS.
!
-
For those who wanted raws, there's my old pimping project here:
http://www.mangapimps.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,59/
It's two volumes by packs, just don't download Bast pack scan 1, this one is the first two volumes scanlated. Also I think pack 9 may be the same than pack 2, but I couldn't be arsed to reupload it.
-
Yeah I always got that vibe from him, and I could image DS being changed into a book would be about the same thing
Did you see the latest Disgaea 3 trailer Carter JESUS.
