Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Chopper's Trivia Point!: Arlong Park (forums and site) gets a huge amount of traffic from Japan, a majority at times. It's because of people looking for access to RAWS, 2channel is even infamous for having a thread on how to navigate Arlong Park to find them.
Wait, what, there is? Would you care linking to it? I really want to see this now.

Aohige, BF or ocean could probably help you with that. I can't navigate 2channel.
Mangahelpers is gone… Now where can we get the raws?
http://mangahelpers.com/news/details/360
njt never was the bravest.
fucking mangahelpers
fucking mangahelpers
mangahelpers theme song!:P
!
Ok that vid was just for fun. I don't want to name them for what they relay are… They could at least ban the Japanese IP's. Now where can we get the raws?
Raw Paradise is gone MH gone... Old IRC's are also gone...There aren't any Torrent sources as far i know...
... we are doomed!:(
Oh I found a solution...
I will w8 for... 3-5 years till the greek publisher that releases naruto and bleach starts to release OP...
Oh forgot to mention that i must w8 10 years till they release lets say volume 60...
I can't believe they swallowed that soul crap. Fucking retards.
So what other sources are left?
So what other sources are left?
IRC and p2p, of course.

They banned the Japanese IPs.
And took the raws down as well.
So yeah.
but scanlations and translations will be available on mh
for people out of japan
so no raws on MH, R-P, apforums 
back to IRC people 
…
…
If we didn't have any scanlation. What we gonna do in here.?
beg greg to give us crappy cam pics and tell us what's happening in each scene. we'd also use fansubs.
scanlation != RAW
scans will be avaiable on MH too.
its just the raws which wont be.
correct me if i'm wrong but mangastream seams to have it's own raw source. thats why they release so fast.
there is also this site over here:

@ctarlong910
I think we better held a massive wall of text orgywar.
And have AGOG as every year winner.
In the end, nothing is going to change. Mangastream and other major scanlators have their own source and spoilers are still going to come in, one way or another.
The only thing shueisha is accomplishing with this is giving newer (and maybe even better and more prepared) raw distributors their chance to bask in the limelight.
Hunting pirates does nothing but create more savy ones.
…Fuck that shit.
…that's just... I don't even know how to respond to that.
In the summer of my 9th grade year, my parents took me to stay at my grandma's house for a month. This was accross the country and there was absolutely nothing to do there.
Now, this is before Funi even had GT but…
I watched ALL of Dragonball GT in 2 days. 2 DAYS. Straight through, skipping openings and endings. I only took breaks to use the restroom and sleep (of course). Had it actually been the same amount of episode LoGH is (which is something like 110) I am POSITIVE that I would have watched it in around 5 days. Not that surprising if you have nothing to do.
Also, I watched South Park Seasons 1-9 in 4 days.

Yeah the industry must learn from One Piece on what happen if you tried to end the age of piracy :ninja:
thank goodness we have official localized version of one piece.
with crappy localization work from professional publisher's translators and editors.

THIS.
Also people who really want raws will always get them via IRC. coz rena isn't stopping due to it. Most of the international readers dont really care about raw. all they care about is scan + spoiler pics. Its the Japanese which will suffer due to it.
EDIT: mangastream is down currently most probably temporary and nothing to do with current issues

…
oh wow!
mangastream, binktopia, mangashare ALL down at same time
coincidence?

and nothing on their twitter either

Working for me .
…
argghh… seems like they also implemented by some sort of ip-ban and i am also effected. LOVELY!
three more sites to foxyproxy
I thought you were in India. How are you being affected by an IP-ban that should only target japanese users? I mean, I'm in Hong Kong and I don't have any hick-ups whatsoever.
lol, Mangastream has the Unionjack next to their releases now. I love area banning working in my favour for once.

nops i am from pakistan. dont know why i am effected. i tried it from a friend's connection too. still no effect. works fine with proxy though.
EDIT: Its all ok now. and here too
Heh, why just they don't upload to piratebay?
I thought the Union Jacks in mangastream were to show that the scans are in english.
Not sure if this was brought up but just posting in case.

WTH.? Kubo is Indonesian.?
Nope. Maybe that indonesian girl knows Japanese but knows nothing about the manga system in Japan.
Fucking holy shit.
Just hope mangastream will save the day

No wonder. She seems to be Jakartanese Girl. From her accent.
Some Jakarta people is act like a retard though.

Mangahelpers is gone… Now where can we get the raws?
http://mangahelpers.com/news/details/360
Great…They even got rid of all my Color Walk and Data Book scans. I spent hours uploading those. Banning Japanese IPs was more than enough. What the hell is wrong with these people...
It's at time like these that assholes like Tazmo start to look good. He's a greedy dick, but at least he isn't an overly sensitive wimp who takes down his scans for some abstract moral reason....
Mangahelpers has been shit for a while now. 
So, does Blinktopia have their own raw provider? Does anyone know what's gonna happen there, or are we now up shit creek?

It depends on the series with them.
…actually, I need to go yell at them about Embalming. >_>
I'll be staying in Tokyo soon (if my plans work out). You can all expect weeks and weeks of Wednesday 300 dpi HQ RAW scans from me. The Japanese can do their best to find me. Unlike 99% of Japan, I know how to use internet cafes and proxies…
What are you going to Tokyo for, Ulrilra?
ANYWAY, some good news.
I just spoke to Vicissitude of Ju-Ni ( http://ju-ni.net/ ), who is now the only regular RAW provider for One Piece. He's not going to quit scanning and we can expect weekly HQ One Piece RAWs from him every Friday.
His scans won't be available on mangahelpers anymore, but he'll still upload them to torrents and to the #IRC-distro channel on the IRCHighWay server.
What are you going to Tokyo for, Ulrilra?
I've spent three years gradually teaching myself Japanese online. It's time for me to get off my lazy ass and go there.
So does this mean we'll be back to Saturday/Sunday scans coming out? Like a few years ago?

Well, Mangastream has been uploading scanlations every Thursday recently, so it depends on them. For the scanlations anyway. But as far as RAWs go, it seems we won't be getting them until midday Friday PST.
I see. Well, if it does go back to being weekend releases, I still wouldn't mind it. It would take a few weeks to get used to again, but it'll be fine. Thanks for some good news Ulrilra.

Hold on a minute.
Is the state of affairs now thus that prior to actually having access to the original Japanese comic, foreigners will exclusively have access to translated versions of the comic before its release in Japan?
Am I getting that correctly?
And people bitch and moan about waiting for Strong World.
Hey, admins, this is kind of huge news. Shouldn't something about this get posted in the Manga forum? Not everyone checks this one.

Yeah, well, Mangastream is too stingy to release their RAW.
By the way, Greg, can you not access Mangahelpers anymore?

I think most people here don't realize that the scanlations come out like, 5 days before the actual release. They always seem to assume its being scanned post-release. Thus, they have no grasp on WHY scanlations have such a negative effect.
So yeah… greedy, and they take it for granted, and I think it would be GOOD for the fandom to have to wait a few more days.
It's kind of messed up.

That's a good point, and I just did.
@robbybedfart:

Wait, correction. Ju-Ni Vicissitude would like it to be known that he is not a she. My mistake, sorry. XD
