Why'd that xpearse guy stop scanlating this?It's supposed to be the final entry in the Devilman franchise but the scanlations just dried up
>>19401398I find it surprising bottom of the harrel stuff that ends up cancelled gets scanlated but not a legacy series like this
>>19401398probably because no one wanted him to do it. His Japanese is extremely poor and he would often guess. He posted some of his "translations" on this board and you can check the archives to see anons catching him in real time
Is the guy even still around?
>>19401476We can only hope not.
>>19401476He is still releasing scanlations as recently as this month
>>19401430>He posted some of his "translations" on this board and you can check the archives to see anons catching him in real timedo you have some examples of this, I didnt see any in the /m/ archive
>>19401430His translations are fine, people are just butthurt he makes fun of the stupid stuff they like
t. xpearse>7 / 0 / 7 / 1
>>19401702People have a schizophrenic habit on here where they accuse random anons as xpearse.It's happened to me
>>19402041lol no way, Its not even that he did guesswork or not, his releases were for the most part full of gramatical errors to the point It was clear he didnt have a complete grasp of english not grammar only but speech.He kind of got better but still not anywhere close to a "good" translator whatnot with the bad habit of putting the most foulest of language even in children´s mangas like the Mitsuru Hirata devilman manga that sort of gives him away as possibly having spanish as first language(not sure why but Its just that way). He did Getter Robo Darkness and littered the text with "fuck", "cunt" and "faggot" If Im not mistaken on that last one and for the longest didnt want to admit It when people pointed out that there was a full volume of story that was the real start so he began in what was technically the second serialization.IIRC he stopped translating them himself at some point and just doing editing while others translated, I think this was the case in devilman saga but im not sure.His first releases like terraformars are completely unreadable, It was like they were written in other language that you had to decipher.
>>19402110idk why people like you on this board and those on /vr/ bitch about translations so much like it has to be 100% accurate. localizations are localizations for a reason, as long as most of the intent is consistent then I don't mind if the words or expressions are changed around a bit.Instead of complaining maybe you guys translate these things instead.
>>19402120there are plenty of localizations that are objectively crap, tokyopop ruined mangas like battle royale putting cringe edgy writing and dialogue rewrites, It was consistent on Its intent but a total piece of crap that means that anyone that has read battle royale in english hasnt read the original while every other country where It has been licensed has the real script.most of xpearse´s releases have a really cringy and transparent sense of cool based on foul language and with phrases written backwards like a spanish speaker trying to write in english, Is It my business?, no, certainly not, but theres no reason I cant complain If I didnt like It, If you go to an aggregate manga site and the title you want to read has been translated in english by xpearse sometimes It will read like a machine translated It into 2 other languages before english, and I dont mean passages, I mean full comics, theres no reason anyone should bother trying to decipher terraformars:rain hard when they are suposedly reading an english translation in the first place. Its just a crappy job and most of the niche titles he tackled need a real translation. A good job takes time and not everyone has free time, which doesnt make a crappy job free of criticism.
>>19402152you sound like you can barely write in English
what does this xpearse guy have to do with the nyaa uploader
>>19402235same guy unless proven otherwise
stop bullying my wife xpearse
>>19402041Hell no, it's plain MTL. In Devilman Saga in particular there's tons of brainless context goofs that only a machine would put out.
>>19403603Such as? Please post the Japanese equivalent for us to compare as well. Nagai's writing can be really dull as a whole.
Isn't a massive chunk of Saga translated in italian/spanish?You don't even need to know japanese, just ask permission to translate those into English.
>>19404238>permissionlol
>>19404265 I mean yeah, not really, but you know how those nerds throw autistic bitchfits over stuff like that, as if they own the stuff they're scanlating.
>>19404292fuck em lol, once it's out it's public domainif they don't want english speaking readers to translate it from their stuff, don't publish it
>>19404292just give credit in the afterword and call it a day
>>19404238>translation of a translationbetter than nothing, I guessor is it
>>19404613More common than you think unfortunately.A lot of anime dubs used butchered 4kids abominations rather than the original script.
>>19402210What an argument
>>19404613Translation of a translation is fine when it's something stupid and barely any thought put into it like Nagai shit.
>>19405756>Translation of a translation of your post: I LOVE COCKS SLLLLUUUUUURRRRRRP
>>19406059That's funny considering it sounds just like something Nagai would write. See? Works perfectly for him.
>>19404238Isn't that also true for Violence Jack? lolSo not only am I google translating Violence Jack to finish it but also Devilman Saga?Great
>>19406083>yeah nagai sucks at writing lol>how do I know? well I read the fan translations of course!
>replying to yourself because no one is biting
>>19401430I thought he hired other people to translate?
>>19407439Occasionally, but not for Devilman Saga.
>>19404238Saga's official Italian translation concluded as of December I think
>>19402110>manga that sort of gives him away as possibly having spanish as first languagexPearse is irish.
>>19404638>A lot of anime dubs used butchered 4kids abominations rather than the original script.Stop reminding me of the dark ages. Not even Yurope was spared. I still have nightmares about "Drake and the Treasure Island".
isnt this the series where ryo dressed up as lan and tried to rape 'akira' while he was engaged with miki?based as hell
>>19412701It was just a prank.
>>19412738who is trying to rape who here?
>>19413547
>>19414468>most /m/ Devilman series>Never discussed here>original series and even Lady get occasional threads
>>19417245i liked the part where she asked akira to fertilize her eggs
>>19406059Seems like a pretty accurate method then!
>>19417245I liked that manga a lot. Wish it was longer.
>>19417245Really do wish he'd follow through on the whole au where instead of amon its siren the mc transforms into. One-shot kinda sucked but i'd buy it if she fought like this every fight.
>>19401398I would like a crossover between every anime/manga series that ends with the word Saga
>>19418775>akira turns into sirenedid you mean "miki" as in "mc"? or ryo?what would an akira/siren fusion even look like? my mind is supplying terrifying images.
>>19420190>Lay egg>Eat your own egg>Live forever from self sustenance Why don't chickens do this?
>>19420277chickens are dumb
>>19418775What a terryfing attack. Wouldn't it suck if she did this to me haha
>>19422612why would a demon need to go to school?
>>19412701>>19412738>>19414488Satan has gone beyond JUST status hasn't he
>>19423836maybe..
>>19402404It was the same guy and he was just as retarded with his encoding as his translations.
>>19404238>Isn't a massive chunk of Saga translated in italian/spanish?>You don't even need to know japanese, just ask permission to translate those into English.Spaniard here, i knew about Violence Jack being fully translated (thoug with an awful lot of swearing and translator's notes) but i didn't know Devilman Saga was translated in spanish, do you have a link to the spanish translation?
>>19425279
>>19425381gosh that's cute
>>19425279w-whew
UUOOOOHHHHH I WANT TO FERTILIZE SIRENE'S EGGS, ALL OF THEMMMI WANT TO WEAR SIRENE CHAN LIKE A HAT
>>19430896What a pretty girl she is, isn't she?
>>19404613That's how we're getting Red Baron fansubs. The person doing them is sourcing their translations from the spanish subs iirc.
>>19420277>he doesn't know
>>19443202That ass though
Actual xPearse here. I thought about it, but I honestly don't want to get back into Nagai. I'm afraid that if I do, I won't get back out. Sorry, but it's in the past for me. For now at least.
>>19447494Good for you, man
So if we're allowed non-m properties by /m/ authors does that mean I'm allowed an Arjuna thread because it was made by Kawamori?
>>19448429Devilman Saga IS /m/ though, featuring many actual mecha and demonic power armor.
>>19448445The original devilman isn't though and is allowed threads.
Oh what a 'surprise", mods are hypocritical faggots. Original devilman with no /m/ is allowed because its creator had other mecha titles, yet the same can't be applied to other creators.
>>19448682Retard
>>19448706>doing it for free
>>19448682dumbass
>>19449497>devilman is /m/ because uh... shut up dumbass
>>19449499This is a Saga thread, you cannot possibly deny that this series is /m/ centered.Dumbass.
>>19449503OK faggot explain how vanilla devilman is /m/, it's got tons of threads here and they've been allowed
>>19448467OG Devilman has power armour though. Remember the demon busters? They lived in a comically evil supervillain castle and everything.
>>19449509>explain how vanilla devilman is /m/Vanilla. So you're sperging out in the wrong thread.And to answer your question, the OG Devilman was heavily inspired by Ishinomori's sci-fi works like Kamen Rider or Cyborg 009, Devilman himself is no different from 70's henshin heroes. Are we going to pretend that Ultraman is not /m/ now? Evangelion has only 1 proper robot. Also the anti-demon corps.
>>19401398I hope the rumors are true that xpearse browses here so he sees this thread and gets off his ass and finishes translating all of this
What happens at the end of Saga anyway
I talked to him once about that. He said that he simply isn't interested in buying the manga to translate it, although I believe things might change if someone sent him the volumes
>>19449509Devilman threads is an oldfag tradition. Oldfag stuff supersedes rules and newfags like you need to cope lol
>>19449759>>19447494It's over so fuck off
>>19450254I've had volume raws up to 10 since early 2019. I just haven't felt motivated enough to work on it. However, I'm not working on anything other than Bug Rape Island Part Deux at the moment, so I might end up working on Saga sooner or later.
>>19451284This is great! Please, do it!
>>19451284Don't bother
>>19444622basado
>>19449529>Evangelion has only 1 proper robot.
>>19457417Only Jet Alone wasn't a giant cyborg.
>>19457830By definition, Eva's are robots too.
>>19457417how about try watching eva first you fucking moron? or at least read a wiki page before shitposting?
>>19457852>or at least read a wiki pageis that what you do?
>>19457877I wish. I had to sit through evangelion with my friends, but at least I know that evas are giant fleshy beings in armor and not actual proper mecha like Jet Alone.
>>19401398Devilman and Violence Jack are some of the best manga I've ever read10/10 realizations of their medium
>>19459413You need to read more stuff.
>>19459935Like what, big boy?
>>19460420well, what are you interested in? vaguely even
>>19459935>>19464261Fuck off, retard
>>19465456?
>>19451284>other than Bug Rape Island Part DeuxLol that's still a thing
>>19467430I also had a hot female friend who was touchy feely with me in highachool. Never fucked her so I'd rather not think about it.
>>19469137nice blog
>>19469162Smash that bell and click subscribe. Would really help
I wish there was more to Silene-chan, I really liked that manga.Fuck, I wish there was more to Devilman in general. For being Nagai's flagship franchise it sure is lacking in content. 3 full manga, 2 side stories and some vaguely canon side material isn't a lot.
>>19470567I mean by the time you add up all the Devilman stuff you're looking at like over 50 volumes worth of material.
>>19484108woah, cutest Sirene
>>19459935At least it isn't as bad as Ishikawa's later entries in the Getter Robo saga
>please respond to meeeeeee
Saga's back. Sorry it took me so long.https://imgur.com/a/UxWedbRhttps://mega.nz/file/6Ad2BZ6J#G0QVI1Oz-4JSp6r41qlVweu0ViNQWO6X7nWf3alPXnQ
>>19488480Based as hellThanks you are a righteous dude
>>19488480Holy shit I was NOT expecting that today
Is Saga good? Was it well received by japs, italians, etc?
>>19449529You are saying that Devilman is M because it's based on several M stuff, and after that, you say that Evangelion basically isn't M.Are you retard?
>>19488609Both Devilman and Evangelion are /m/, Ultraman is as well. Spend more time lurking and improve your reading comprehension.
>>19488626>Evangelion>/m/hi betafag
>>19490219??????????????????
>>19401398>xpearseyou just answered you're own question>>19402041this is the dude that added "fuck" to Pretty Cure subs, I'm pretty sure his translations aren't "fine"
>>19490219retard
>>19488480Keep it upIgnore the retards on here who complain, the people on /m/ are obsessive-compulsive low-functioners
why wouldn't nge be /m/ anyways?
>>19488480Hell yeah.
Is Amon completely removed from existence since Akira took over?Is that why Sirene hates Devilman so much?
>>19499429>Is Amon completely removed from existence since Akira took over?It depends on the version, in Amon of Apocalypse he body jacks Akira and goes wild trying to kill Satan.
>>19488609Listen, 20-year-old fuckwad who barely got out of puberty.It doesn't fucking matter whether Devilman is /m/ or not. We've been discussing it for ages here.Go kill yourself.
>>19500731It does matter because it is, there's no doubt about it.
>>19502542Was really disappointed by this oneThought the original was fantastic but the redux just missed most of the point and atmosphere of the original
>>19504717What is this image trying to convey
>>19505493That Devilman will never die because there will always be a new spinoff eventually.
Has Devilman Saga concluded yet?
>>19503234I hate New Dante so much. Even the CLAMP-looking, obscure True Mao Dante was better.
>>19487368>>19485815Where is this from?
>>19511310Would be perfect but it is missing Violence Jack
>>19514512Violence Jack is as much Gakuen Taikutsu Otokoas it is Devilman.
>>19514229Toshin Devilman Saint Fighter.
>>19514964interdasting
>>19518384>Just a prank bro
>>19518384I don't know if there is something inherent to Nagai's Devilman or whether it's the dark tone with occasional levity, but Devilman always seems to produce meme material.Even Crybaby gave me a memorable line with:"I'm choosing the winning side...You choose wrong! [rips in half]"
>>19521486You see it a lot in pre 80's manga in general, where facial expressions aren't as refined/codified, paneling sometimes moves too fast, and most importantly they aren't afraid to look uncool. Now, Nagai has a massive output of both comedies and serious works, but the way Devilman and Violence Jack stand out as massive meme goldmines can only be explained by him hamming it up on purpose i think.
>>19514521Then include Guerilla High School too
>>19524430It's not a Violence Jack chart.
>no bro, i'm just talking about these things in theory lolWhat's this guy's deal?

>>19503234I actually kind of liked it, but it's nowhere near as good as the original.
Next chapter.https://imgur.com/a/CCdVtQp
>>19543038Holy hell that looks a lot better than I remember. I have to re-read Dante.
>>19543514
>>19544120While most of the cast looks like fish-lipped modern Nagai, there are still some classic faces here.
>>19510105Cute couple.
>>19544122>>19544120Akira/Ryo is my ultimate OTP but I must admit Miki is very cute in this manga. To be fair, MC isn't really Akira but Yuuki
>>19543528That spread was one of the best. Of course a lot of it is as campy as you might expect.
>>19543514yea boiii
>>19401398>>19488480Amon's armor always remind me to Shiryu's dragon god cloth from Saint Seiya. There are some mutual nods between Kurumada and Nagai despite they never mentioned each other. That's weird considering they like to talk about their influences. Maybe they had an one-night-stand and a bad break-up. Who knows

>>19551557Trivia: These are the official designs for Violence Jack and Satan from CB Nagai World>>19551715Continue the devil's work, my friend
>>19402088Shut up xpearse
>>19402088Just asking >Who is Xpearse>Or what is this guy's dealgets you called expearse. And yes, I'm going to be called Xpearse after this, but to this day I'm not sure who xpearse is, what his deal is and why he shits up Getter Robo/Go Nagai threads. I'm not even saying he doesn't exist, I just can't get anyone on /m/ to explain who the fuck he is, and what he has against getter robo/Go Nagai.
calm down xpearse
>>19551785If they had gotten out the other 3 or 4 Devilman OVA episodes, CB Nagai World would have been a great way to serge into the Violence Jack OVAs
>>19551785skinny jack is not something that should be brought up into this world>>19551715lightning fast
>>19470567It's not a lot, but it's already too much, at least as far as sequels go (I don't have an opinion on Grimoire). Only the original manga has any business existing. Lady is better than its horndog reputation would have many believe (it quickly becomes a more conventional action comic for 80+% of its run) but it doesn't benefit from being related to Devilman. I haven't read Saga, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't either.
>>19553529The best parts of Lady are directly related to Devilman. I do agree that everything after the original Devilman is unnecessary.
>>19553533>The best parts of Lady are directly related to DevilmanThe hell stuff is solid, but Akira is mostly superfluous. And the twist at the end is completely stupid.
>>19553529Lady works well as a sequel, shame the last volume or two went completely off the fucking rails. Most people treat it as a spin-off anyways, not that many care in the first place. I bet Saga is not a real sequel too, just like Violence Jack.
>>19553529While Grimoire is often called "Trigger's Devilman", it's really just the same sort as the author's previous series Scape-Gods (yuri fanservice and intestinal gore)The author even admitted having only ever seen Devilamn Lady on TV before having to watch Devilamn the TV show and read the mangas.The author even cut he plot short with a bunch of threads hanging because he wanted it to be 5 volumes like the original.
>>19551887Dude's just a huge, incompetent asshole. Not much to it.
>>19554423I don't know why you guys have to be such assholes to this guyHe is translating relevant manga for us EOPs and that is really great despite any complaints you might have "it isn't good enough" well then do it yourself, fuckers
>xpearse>translatedebatable
>>19561262Is it also paper mache?
why is grimoire not online yet?
>>19562341Won't scan it since it's coming out properly, won't upload it as no one knows about it as there are no scans.
>>19562341Probably because it fucking sucks.
>>19565476the art and tomoda redeem it.the no ryo thing is retarded but he wasnt in the 1972 anime either (though i'm pretty sure the G mangaka didnt put him in because of shipping autism).it actually looks kinda cool besides that. like a trigger studio devilman.
>>19565681It's pro-Miki fan fiction
>>19566394cope
>>19566394Good. It's about time.
>>19565681>trigger studio devilmanThat's not a good thing. Besides, the manga just plain sucks and comes off as terrible fanfiction. There's a reason why nobody talks about it.

>>19567867it'll turn out that this Miki is not only a reincarnation but the original Miki's spirit and Yuki is also Akira and it turns out in the ending of Lady, Akira died shortly after making the alliance with Satan and that it was a false dream timeline set up by God to trick Satan into thinking he finally had Akira only to punish him again so in this final timeline Satan accepts that he will get eternally cucked by Miki no matter what and will probably wipe himself away from existence or somethingI know this also sounds like cope but it wouldn't be the first time Uncle Go pulled a fast one on us

>>19582251Are there any different interpretations of Devilman besides TV and Manga/OVA?Grimoire makes him a bit more feral and wolf-like but that's about it for design. He is also multicoloured but that doesn't show except for a cover.
>>19582869crybaby turns him into a giant fuzzy bat.he used to only have fur on his legs, but in the newest adaptation, he's covered in ithe's also dark blue and has "bird" shaped feet
