Good news and bad news...

Yazawa when he was reserving Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Hey guys, all we have for you this week is:

Ocha Nigosu Volume 05 Chapter 47
King Golf Volume 01 Chapter 04

Now then, we have a bit of news which are both good and bad.

Let's start with the good. The good news is, we got a new person to work on kaiji, so we will be starting up on that again. We are also going to start up on Genki and aim to finish the whole series as soon as possible. We have also picked up Dororon Enma-chan and have found a new guy to help finish translating Dororon Enma-kun. So we plan to work on those two and release both the completed mangas by Halloween.

The bad news is, we're dropping Violence Jack. I got some tips from some people that apparently Offtopia/Gantz Waiting Room are planning to work on the series and release a volume every few weeks. I tried to contact them via the offtopia forums, but basically, they don't want to joint. So, rather than me compete with a large group like Offtopia/GWR who have a bunch of members in their group, while in my group it's only me doing most of the editing in Jack, we're dropping Violence Jack. I personally am not a big fan of Offtopia/GWR, but hopefully they will do a good job with Violence Jack.

That's all for this week, see ya'll next week.

EDIT: King Golf 4 is up now!

  3. I'm sorry about Jack, I personally have never heard of Offtopia etc but hopefully they'll be good too. Thanks for Ocha!

  4. Why aren't you a fan of Offtopia/Gantz WR?

    Just like anonymous, i haven't read anything from those 2 (or 1), simply because i don't read manga often and there are MANY groups.

    So who's going to finish Jack v1?

  5. To put it bluntly, I think they do a crappy job on everything they work on.(Take a look at their Dorohedoro to get what I mean.)

    Also the fact you have to join their forum to download any of their manga is also something that just doesn't sit right with me about them. Hell, they have no other way to contact them, aside from joining their forums or joining jCafe. That's kind of fucked as the majority of other groups have a website, IRC or email.

    This is just my opinion of course, if others like them, cool for them.

  6. Offtopia again? God, I hate them... They tend to just take projects without consulting the original group as if it's nothing... Buncha thieves is what they are... If it was a group with high quality, then there'd be no problem, but the fact that their quality is mediocre at best proves that they have no real right to do what they do...

  9. That is a real shame about Violence Jack, I thought your work on it so far was excellent, wish you would have completed vol. 1 at least.

  10. We're hoping they just flop on actually doing anything about it so we can just pick it up again.

  12. No surprise that Offtopia/GWR are interested in Violence Jack, they said it quite some time ago http://www.jcafe24.net/index.php/topic,16053.0.html not that groups have to check that list or anything, just saying, it was not such a secret that you had to get tips to find it out.

    As for GWRs Dorohedoro, I don't get it, is it the translation or the editing? I haven't heard people complain about it.

    Anyway, keep up the good work. Looking forward to Gegege no Kitarou, if I wouldn't be so busy with other projects I would have offered to help.

  16. Yazawa, how's going Genki? Thanks. :)

  17. Genki isn't being worked on right now. Deal with it and wait until November or so.

  18. GWR/Offtopia are a bunch of hypocrites, they steal other groups projects but start raising hell if the same is done to them. The best example for this is what they're doing because other groups tried working on Shingeki no Kyojin.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Agreed. They regularly do that "go after other people's projects" without even bothering to ask for a joint.

    And the quality is sub-par too.

  20. Hmm nick isnt that the same what you did whith your group, also when a group came to you asking if you wanted to do a joint on a series they were doing before, you guys stop all contact and start a war. Yes you would be one to relate and explain what GWR is doing. also hurry the f up with overbleed, also why so slow with skr
