This chapter was a bitch to typeset :P. If you find any mistakes or you have any remarks to make, post a comment please.
Edit:
Here's v2. Not much of a change besides slightly lesser image compression, adding alternative version of first page with literal title of the chapter and separation of words "awak-ened" and lik-ing" (thanks gernot for pointing it out):

That's why I'm not swapping links, decide for yourself which version you prefer and let me know in the comments if it's the latter.
Edit 2:
Nice picture I've found that could serve as an advertisement to read Claymore.
thx for the fast release
ReplyDeleteThanks...I didn't even know about your upload until mangashare..
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, sometimes I like yours better because mangatsream/Bink WATER SIGNATURES are Fking annoying.
Like someone is going steal their TL's. Keep doing your TL, beat them on the uploads before theirs come out and you'll get more fans.
You have the best scanlation as always, thank you guys!
ReplyDeletei wish the scan were a bit darker and larger
ReplyDeleteWe can't be faster than MS because gernot works primarily for MS since working for them gives certain privileges (like getting raw almost one week before we do). As for scan being bigger and darker, we're using the raw we can find and the only one we can find is the Share one (from Japanese P2P network). Not so long ago Vicissitude was releasing raws in REALLY HQ but it was with a monthly delay (or more) and we don't have time nor will to do it again. I still have some raws of that quality and could upload them if there was someone willing to help us :P. The difference between MS and us, besides they're better overall is that they have 4 people working on the chapter while we have 1. We never do the work in pairs since I'm 99% of the time busy and only make a scanlation when Piggy can't.
ReplyDeleteYour scanlation doesn't have annoying watermarks and I also like the footnotes, the differences between Japanase and English make them indispensable and they give an aura of professionalism to your scanlations.
ReplyDeleteDamn Goral, that's so honest of you calling Mb "better"..I doubt that part. Like Kamugin mentioned, it just comes down to 1) more manpower to do the job and 2) the watermarks of MS..It is damn annoying like what everyone said. Yours looks more professional and worth keeping in a collection because it's cleaner. (just "try' to make the scans look HQ)
ReplyDeletepart 2...
ReplyDeleteyou know what, there's nothing wrong with your scans and it's perfect as it is. Just ignore my HQ' rant. They're as good and even superior to MS/Craptopia..
No way to collect MS scans. Once I had them, but tracked them down and deleted. Though I noticed MS scans look less grainy. Is it some sort of, say, a trilinear filter or do they have scans of a better quality? The resolution is the same - 1200 vertical.
ReplyDeleteI'm busy too, so I'm slow to keep track of Claymore. I'm currently stuck at ch108. It's 9 months delay, lol.
We have 1 chapter per month, does 1 month delay matter at all? It's just a fixed delay. The series will still take life to conclude. One month delay is negligible in this scale.
Well, Vic doesn't scanlate Jump SQ any more (you can find him on #irc-distro on irchighway.net) so even if we wanted to wait on better raws it wouldn't matter since we wouldn't be able to find them. This better quality would also make our work more difficult since we would have to level images and clean it properly. The raws we're using are cleaned and pages are merged which saves us much time. On the other hand pages such as these are a pain to work on: http://www.imagebam.com/image/4ac242139506698
ReplyDeleteWith something like that we would really need like 3 more people.
>We have 1 chapter per month, does 1 month delay matter at all? <
ReplyDeleteTo the Claymore fanboys? YES. One day is an eternity. If 3 people are what's needed to be FASTER than MS, why don;t you guys list what's needed for what position? And yeah, i hate those effing MS WATERMARKS...they piss me off.-hollywood-
That's exactly my point, 1 month is an eternity too, so 1 day = eternity = 1 month. Even for fanboys. And who reads Claymore if not fanboys?
ReplyDeleteGirls read them too based on the blogs I've encountered thru the years. Some chick-girl empowerment stuff. You realize men are the ugly yomas while the girls are hot killers? I still would push that MIB at least, TRY to be WITHIN 24 hours Of MS uploads.-hollywood-
ReplyDeleteAlmost impossible since usually raw is available on Share (Japanese p2p network) no earlier than on 3rd day of each month while MS has their raw at least a weak earlier and they usually release on 1st or 2nd. Plus, we're too lazy or just don't have time to make everything in one day (Claymore isn't our priority in life and you can expect releases 1 week after MS ones). Once MS releases first there's no rush since almost no one cares about our version anyhow. What most people care about is who's first and since from chapter 114 they have almost exact translation as ours so we've lost our main advantage. Later releases has it's bright side though, since gernot sometimes corrects his translation and the one you get is always final version (while MS never corrects their work).
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint you but the short answer is we will never be as fast as you would like us to be.
BTW, you don't have to post as Anpnymous and you don't have to have account anywhere. There is another option as you can see.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I've been reading MS releases before yours, however it's just because lately some dude is posting them in Tokyotosho (this last time the pages order was totally messed up! Really a shit). Otherwise there is no way I would go to MS site and read the chapter on-line.
ReplyDeletethank you
