Translating Zombie to English

  

Today is a day I've been looking forward to since December 2006. Today the most excellent manga series "Highschool of the Dead" is officially released in English. This series holds a special place for me as it was the first series I started reading online without already having read some of it in book form, and was the first that I started reading as it was translated. The waiting for each chapter while vexing was part of the intrigue letting me for many theories while I waited, this was long before I discovered webcomics.

More after the jump. 

Covers and quantity

I was doing some preparations for upcoming translations and decided to post the covers for all 12 french collections. Thought you all might enjoy them and thought it may get me some more traffic by Google Image search. Oh hey you want to be freaked out? Type Disney or whatever cartoon you prefer and turn the safe search off for images. Just make sure nobody else is watching.

Also there was a question about the quantity of the series. Of volume one there are roughly 80 pics left of Volume One. Of the remaining 11 there are aproximately 200 pages each. Meaning at least a crap-ton of translation left to do.

Awesomeness

This is awesome. That is Fact.

Found on youtube a while ago but can't find it anymore. Fortunately I saved it to my computer. It's for the most excellent Kara no Kyokai series I mentioned a while back. I highly reccemend looking it up.

Chapter 8 redux and a Question

The other night I slept over at my grandmothers before taking her shopping the next day. Since she didnt have internet I decided to work on Cybersix stuff. Without internet I can't translate new shit so I redid the craptastic chapter 8.

Let me know what you think about this version. Feedback is majorly desired.


Out of curiosity does anyone have any one shots or short stuff they would like translated? Cybersix is awesome but switching it up every so often keeps it all interesting.

If you do have something reply with the name, genre, and a synopsis that includes genre and rating. If it catches my interest I'll try giving it a whirl. The only limitation is that I can only do something that uses the typical A-Z alphabet. I will of course also need a link to raws.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone who reads this little project of mine.

Here is a bulk download of all currently translated Cybersix, both my poor efforts and the excellent Zaanen work.

As before if anyone has any suggestions about my translations or methods please let me know and I'll try to improve it.

Edit: Fixed the link. Sorry about that.

A Christmas Present For You

Chapter 10 is finsihed and avaible for reading.

A word of note there is a fair amount of nudity in this chapter and due to using a new computer my settings are all different so the text and such may have changed. I also had to be a bit more creative in my translations this time around. So anyway any suggestions, or nottices of error just let me know.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all.
Cybersix should be up later today or tomorow. I'm working on the final bits in between celevration preparations.

Cybersix Christmas

I just finished the initial translations for chapter 10 of Cybersix. All thats left is the fine tuning and assembly. I should be posting the completed chapter either on Christmas or shortly after. I'm hoping for on Christmas personally.
At the very least you will get the scripts posted for your enjoyment.

Homicidal Rage Kill

I have just learned that Kara No Kyokai (The Garden of Sinners) is getting an official Blue Ray release for North America. KnK is an awesome series and I would be proud to own it legally. Unfortunately it is just a tish under $400... That is far more than I can justify spending in a single go no matter how awesome the sereies is. This news makes me swing from glee and murderous rage.

For those who read this I highly reccemend checking the series out, the second entry in particular has a slight Cybersix feel to it due to the condition of the main character (of the series, the entry is actually from the pov of the other main character). In order to find the series I only have to say that google is your freind

Status And A Teaser

I just got a new computer so my translations may be delayed a bit as I transer files and adjust to the computer. I still intend though to post the next bit of Cybersix before or on Christmas, but finals are taking up a good chunk of time now.
However as an appetizer here is one of the scripts for this section. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HIJ4XIAF. First is the French it was written in, then comes the translation from the internet, and finaly I try to make it make as much sense as possible. Enjoy, and if you have any suggestions let me know in the comments section.
