Hobby Japan No. 148 - December (1981) / HOBBY JAPAN NO. 148 - 12月 (1981) 昭和 56 年DDLs -https://archive.org/details/hobby-japan-no-148-december-1981Sadpanda archive - https://exhentai.org/g/3415682/a32c227fe0/https://e-hentai.org/g/3415682/a32c227fe0/All files are 4K/HD and 600 DPI with proper color scaling and compression. Interesting highlights about this text:-Coverage on European white metal / pewter kits. While these kits and models didn't take off a strongly as say resin, Hobby Japan did extensive coverage on some of the best, both from large companies and smaller hobby/garage runs.-Bandai's 1981 Elmeth (then called the Hermes), Bigro and Grabro models are shown with some additional fanfiction written about them from the builders.-Takara's Dougram & Space Runaway Ideon kits are shown, primarily with some support from Kunio Okawara giving opinions and sponsored ads all through the book.-Western films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien are covered with 1/12 scale models made from white metal / pewter. Star Wars and Star Trek, especially The Empire Strikes Back, are covered kit wise.-Lots of coverage on general plamo, including guns, planes, ships and D & D tabletop pieces.-Soldier Blues by Motofumi Kobayashi, specifically from Act VIII titled "Waldner 555 (Part 2)" is covered. -Scenes from the 21st Annual Japan Plastic Model Show, held October 19th to the 20th of 1981 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Hall. A life sized RX-78 II Gundam was on display at Bandai's booth while Dougram also made appearances. As this is the December 1981 issue, many of the kits had already been released a month prior by November. All sorts of kits, including Kabuki dolls, were presented.-Two tabletop games are included for free.-Tons of ads for recruitment for hobby groups, shops and build meets.

>>23351813Reposting Bandai Spirits official subs for Mashin Eiyyuden Wataru TV series:https://mega.nz/folder/Ac0mgDIT#RJlyWZS5mV7X1n_a0t9p_wSince the reboot just ended and some people might be interested in older series as well. It's only about 10 initial episodes of each TV series (1-2 initial story arcs), but still. Note that the timing is about 15s late due to how much ads were in front of the BS YT uploads (never got to actually retiming these, sorry).
Is it known if there are any art books for Daiohja? Of all the 70s and 80s mechs shows this seems to be the one with by far the least info available on the English internet (doubly odd because it's a Sunrise show), so I'm curious to learn more. I found whatever-this-is on an online auction but that's about it. Anyone know about it?https://www.ebay.com/itm/256594171270

I don't know where else to ask this and I think it would hardly be worth a thread of its own, but I need do help so here it goes:I recently downloaded full copies of the RaXephon R1 DVDs off AB since Sentai in their infinite wisdom decided to use their license for the series to release the godawful Q-tec blu-rays, so owning a legitimate physical release is sadly not an option right now.I was planning to just remux the discs into individual episodes using MakeMKV and use an USB to play them with my Blu-ray player, like I've done many times before for other series, but I'm having some issues in this case.The de-interlacing is just not working properly. There are very visible interlacing artifacts present when a character does something snappy, like moving their head from side to side. I've tried modified some flags related to the interlacing information using MKVToolnix but nothing seems to work, and as I said before, these RahXephon DVDs seems to be only piece of media this is happening for, so I have no reference as to what the problem or solution might be.Could there be something in particular about DVDs that's the issue?
>>23362762>Could there be something in particular about these DVDs that's the issue?*For reference, I recently rewatched Gasaraki and Spriggan in the same fashion and there were no such setbacks.
anyone plan on uploading USBD Giant Gorg on nyaa sometime soon? current best batches subs are out of sync still
>>23362762there were bad discs in the dayiirc when I helped [EG] with Miller's Report it turned out I had the version with the bad mix dubADV's Sailor Moon release was total trashsome eps would go 1,2,4,3 instead of 1, 2, 3 ,4
>>23351815bump
So, I'm planning to rewatch the series and thus recently grabbed it from the cat site. It came with season 0 which I didn't know about. It has two episodes, 02 Wings to the Future and 03 Genetic Awakening, which seems to be a full length movie. Does Majestic Prince S00E01 exist? Is it even worth digging around to find, if it wasn't even included?
>>23366613Wings to the Future is a extra episode to tie in with the movie, pretty much is episode 25, the Genetic Awakening movie is a direct sequel to that and the series. No additional seasons, just some weird folder sorting.
Page 8 bump.
P9 Bump.
Found this while poking around today. The Super Robot Chronicles books - volume 1, 1963-1997 is pictured, and volume 2 is '97-2013. They seem extremely comprehensive with very detailed robot art - what scans I've found show even one-off oddities like Legaciam and Dragon's Heaven are included. And despite what a valuable resource they seem to be, they're not on EH. Anyone here got 'em?

Is the author of this google sheet an anon?https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PJYwhjzLNPXV2X1np-S4rdZE4fb7pxp-QbHY1O0jH6QIt says the short Gundam Neo Experience: 0087 Green Divers will have no chance of a release but its been on Youtube fully subbed since 2023.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeziIwrcBFoIs this not it?
>>23386995Yeah, it was made watchable in U.C. Engage that April. It was pretty unexpected that it would be distributed through a mobagay. Who'd have ever seen that coming?
Hello, I'm looking for a full .ISO of the SKULLMAN (hugely underrated series IMO) Sentai DVDs.There's a copy on AB but unfortunately it's no longer being seeded. There's also one for the Spanish Selecta Vision DVDs, which would OK by me since that's my native language, but unfortunately I have not had good experiences trying to watch anime in PAL format (crazy jerkiness during panning scenes).Any idea where I might be able to find it?
I think I asked before, but I have a few Terebi-kuns from around Gaim/Driveare there scans of them? it's got some nice papercraft masks and stuff, but if they're already out there I'm sure there's other crap for me to do
Request to save the thread from page 9: Anyone have any of these? The All Anime Robot Complete Works. There's three - '70s-'80s, '90s, and '00s.
>You have control.>I have control.Where does that exchange originate from? I rewatched two shows lately (Majestic Prince and Zegapain) and both made a reference to that at some point when switching from automated to manual controls but I can't remember what it came from and it's been kind of drilling at the back of my mind lately.
>>23395892Betterman
>>23395892It's just a plane pilot thing, no?
>>23395892The "you have control\I have control" exchange is a real life thing for pilots to say because nobody wants a fuckup where someone assumes someone else is taking over but nothing was made clear and the plane crashes. It gets mentioned in various anime from time to time, but it seems like most people attribute it to Betterman. I'm almost 99% certain that a similar phrase comes up in Yukikaze between Fukai and the Yukikaze AI but I can't find a screenshot for the life of me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDWPTWJvuVg&pp=ygUMI2hhdmVjb250cm9s
>>23396137>I'm almost 99% certain that a similar phrase comes up in Yukikaze between Fukai and the Yukikaze AI but I can't find a screenshot for the life of me.About halfway through the first episode the onboard AI takes over to engage in some fancy evasive maneuvers. There's probably more later, given the nature of the show. Maybe I'll rewatch it just to find out.
I gotta buy & scan this one of these days. Steel Man Sigma, a 1964 Astro Boy clone credited as being created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, but was actually drawn by Yoshitsuka Miyakoshi, who shortly after would do another Astro Boy clone, Space Boy Soran. I’ve seen multiple people describe Sigma as a spiritual remake of an earlier Yokoyama manga called Thunder Boy.
>>23397939>Space Boy SoranI think I saw an ep of that or twoI wonder if there's a compendium of the faux Atoms
>>23397948Well as far as animated Astro Boy clones, off the top of my head there was Space Patrol Hopper, Space Ace, Prince Planet, Space Boy Soran. As for manga, besides Sigma here there must’ve been TONS of uber-obscure Astro Boy clones.
So I dunno if I’ve bitched &/or moaned about it before in this General specifically, but between various other places I’ve bitched & moaned about EbookJapan & its you-need-to-literally-physically-live-in-Japan-full-time airtight region locking like a billion times at this point.& since it’d be ridiculous to ask someone to to share their account or make one for me, if anyone knows anyone who lives in Japan, could you ask them if it would be less ridiculous for me to offer to pay them, with interest even, to buy & rip some manga for me?
>>23396137Thanks.
>>23397939Since I mentioned Space Boy Soran, I ripped its manga which you can check out here if you're curious.https://archive.org/details/misccollection_202507
>>23397939I just blew 50 smackeroos on this like the impulsive, financially irresponsible dipshit I am so I can scan it.Also why the fuck is he naked?
>>23398050Must be you. I don't live there and can buy just fine. When in doubt, just use Amazon/Raku.
>>23399852Well you need a Japanese mobile number to get a confirmation text to make an Yahoo Japan account with (ebookJapan is merged with Yahoo Japan), & Japanese phone numbers have more digits than American ones, & using fake ones don't work, I've tried.
>>23397939When this gets scanned there's a non-zero chance I might digitally edit pants onto every panel.
>>23402634tezuka gonna come back and sue you
>>23399824>Also why the fuck is he naked?Better aerodynamics.
>>23412231>Axia uses his trip in a reply and not just a topic openerThat's rare.
Hey so y'all know that Gosaku Ota adapted the original Getter & Getter G, right?And that in the late 90's they were reprinted in 2 volumes, right?And that in 2012 a now dead torrent for a scan of the first volume was uploaded, right?Would anyone happen to have that on them?I believe it's called (一般コミック) [永井豪×石川賢×桜多吾作] ゲッターロボ大決戦
>>23353662No worries.
>>23412994Oh shit it's in the museum, nevermind.
>>23412994>>23413003That still leaves Ota's Getter Robo G unscanned.I'll probably buy it & scan it one of these days, unless someone else does first.
>>23397939Well I got it, far as I can discern from skimming it looks pretty fun as far as Atom clones go, & of course there’s the novelty of being created by Yokoyama but not drawn by him, dunno if I’ll scan this first of Yokoyama's Deimos.
Say, I wonder how familiar you people are with the OTHER Jeeg manga, the one that HNG translated was the one that ran in TV Magazine by Tatsuya Yasuda, the co-creator of Jeeg. But there was also the manga by Akira Oze, which ran in Bouken-Oh (Adventure King). I'll probably translate it one of these days, but if you wanna look at it raw in the meantime, it was scanned way back when & I included it in this collection on Archive.archive.org/details/misccollection_202507
Hello. I'm looking for a show I watched somewhere between 15 to 25 years ago about a group of humans travelling in a spaceship and fighting robot aliens (or alien robots?). The only thing I remember about it is that the humans at some point caught one of the alien robot drones and found out they've got human brains controlling them (otherwise they were clearly mechanical, no visible biotech as far as I remeber). Then they emtpied the thing out and used it to infiltrate an alien ship that was harassing them (at least I think that's how it went). I'm not sure if it was purebred /m/ since I don't think either side had proper mecha but it was sci-fi and set in space, that's almost like 2/3 of a mecha series. Any ideas what it might be?
i've been looking for raws of the plamo wars manga on the sites in the spreadsheet with no luck, any suggestions?
>>23351815Bump again.
How are your personal archives/back ups going, anons? And did anyone rip Discotek's Bem release to Nyaa or Anidex yet?
Who the hell chose dark navy blue and black text for the spreadsheet even changing to light theme doesn't help
I am >>23422748I can't with the dark text+dark background can anyone confirm these are scanned or need to be scanned?
>>23389319Bumping.I did try downloading the Spanish release just out of curiosity to see how bad it is (or hoping the framerate would be bearable) but even that one isn't really being seeded.

>>23398050Bruh I actually still had an account in April but turns out I lost it as well when I let my Yahoo Japan account die from inactivity.

>>23448061Call me a scrub but, uh, a "softsub scrub"? What does that mean? Previously subbed video files with now deleted subtitles? What for?
Hey I don’t know if there’s a better thread to post this in, but since I’m eventually gonna be translating manga that I’ve personally scanned, how exactly do manga digitizations & scanlations turn the pages to pure, smooth B&W? Or specifically, how do you do that in Gimp because that’s what I use. At first I figured you just adjust the levels, but that makes the edges of the black lines look slightly jagged & pixely & artifacty, so then I put a very subtle Gaussian blur over that, but it still doesn’t look as good as pro manga digitizations, so like how do they do that?
>>23448090Previous release was hardsub only.

>>23452939Wow, thanks a lot /m/an!Do you (or anybody else) also have the similar format 3 volumes of SD Command Chronicles?
I've always wanted to catalogue and preserve media, and with the state of the world rn, I think it's important to act on my flight of fancy.I've only ever pirated my old anime before, so I'm not entirely sure where to buy it legally: I want to buy the most comprehensive and free of censorship physical copies I can, but have no clue where to start.[Spoiler] I also plan on buying a BluRay drive for my computer so I can rip stuff off discs and make torrents out of them, and then throw them to the Internet as much as I can for the sake of posterity, complete with all the special features.[/Spoiler]I see that crunchyroll sells stuff, but I've heard so much awful shit about them that I don't trust their corpo fingers from violating the artistic integrity of anything they release or rerelease.Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm perfectly willing to hunt through eBay as well. This sounds like a fun hobby teebeehech.
>>23452939hey if anyone has the kit and build manga or the battle rave manga or have a lead on them i'd be interested in archiving them. i fucked up my JP amazon account so i have to look in less obvious areas
Please someone download it before it gets deleted[Moriya Naoki] Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 STARGAZER [Digital]https://exhentai.org/g/3467068/465d26f28d/

>>23460241MediaOCD sells a lot of Discotek releases if you want to avoid dealing with Crunchyroll. But for official releases there is usually just the one version.
In light of Steel Jeeg returning to SRW, I'm considering it for the backlog but apparently this ARR group is variable in subtitle quality (I'm assuming the slang "crabsticks" is synonymous with shit). Scale of 1 to 5, how shit are the English subs? I have enough tolerance to mentally correct a rough handful of syntax nonsense if my experience with Ganbaruger is any indication (though this means I may postpone Go-Saurer and Dagwon if Subdiver failed to improve since then), but too many a minute and it's an instant Alt+F4.Oh, and a belated thank you to the ones who guided me to the best release of Gundam X the other month. Can certainly tell when it got cut short but it managed to be conclusive enough.
>>23470906If Subdivers being at their worst it's a 2, then ARR is ZERO.
>>23470906Guy who worked on ARR subs as volunteer editor here. Steel Jeeg was my first editing job for them, I definitely made rookie errors. At no point in working for ARR was I given footage, I was stabbing in the dark so to say. ARR translations are not so much bad as much as they are simplified that can dilute nuance when watching an actual scene with said suns later. My worst job was likely Barom One, I literally thought two lines were said by the same person. After I parted ways with ARR they replaced a lot of the nouns with shit you know characters never said like retard, 4chan, Ukraine, Putin, etc. machine Blaster IV has this the worst and while Hroizer X also suffered that at least has a DiscoTek release.>>23470911Sorry anon but when they're not shoving in ads or jokes the translations are decent, the sentences follow what goes on screen and most of the time characters are spelled correctly. They're not zero.
>>23471063>Groizer>Subs
>>23422748>>23424079Your default settings may be fucked up, because no one else that's discussed it with me has black text. It should look like picrel. The specific formatting I made shouldn't change the font color and to my knowledge LibreOffice's default setting is to change the text dependent on the background color. An easy fix, at any rate, is for you to just select Every Cell and then manually change the font color to white.As for your artbooks posted, to my recollection none of those are in the spreadsheet/my archives (though it'd be easier to check with names and/or dates). Whether they've been scanned and uploaded elsewhere and I just haven't found/grabbed them yet, I can't say. I'd check ExHentai before buying/scanning your copies, whatever the case may be.>>23366613S00E01 and such is just how retarded shit like Plex sorts specials and movies and stuff, so people that use that & upload content also use said retarded formatting. As far as an actual S00E01, I have no idea what they consider E01 for MP so I can't help you there. Could be anything.>>23445968As anon said, production. Be aware the (new) movies are all their own continuity from the TV show. If you want to be autistic about it the Akito OVAs/movies technically can be watched after episode ~7 or some shit of s2, but you can just watch them after if you want. Also, Judas is dogshit, don't use them please.
>>23448090scrub can both mean "hardsub to softsub" (though most just say OCR) as the anon said and can mean "improved it/cleaned it up".>>23449912https://www.insidescanlation.com/backgrounds/guidesthese are dated guides but there may be some useful information here. Alternatively, I'd recommend asking in an (active) scanlation IRC/discord, like Illuminati-Manga or HNG or some shit.>>23464979I downloaded both of these, but I recommend to download them yourself as well. For MD, HakuNeko is a very easy-to-use tool and has a guide in the spreadsheet.>>23470906If you see ARR, just assume it's functionally unsubbed. "crabsticks" refers to the really shitty gibberish English subs on Hong Kong bootlegs, and named after picrel from one such sub. It's now used as a shorthand for really low quality subs though, yes.>>23471063The problem with ARR is the generally acknowledged complete lack of consistency and effort. You have no idea what you're going to get with any given release in terms of video or sub quality. Sometimes it's good or at least tolerable (or all that's available), sometimes it's horseshit. I seem to recall Dorkly saying at some point that some of their subs are even just crabsticks, once even from another show(?). Considering all that and the fact they show a complete lack of integrity (your own story of working with them simply more proof), it's easier to just tell people to steer away from them and treat them as if they don't exist.Also, thank you to everyone who posted new content. I can't directly link to your posts because 4chan thinks everything is spam, but I do read everything posted in these threads even if I'm super dead.
>>233518141. Did [EG] ever released BDs of Gundam 0080 and 08th MS Team? If not, what non-remux release is a good alternative to get?2. I'm looking for the [Erai-raws] release of SD Gundam World Sangoku Souketsuden because it has multiple subtitles but it has no seeders. I tried registering on their site but apparently they only check new accounts once a month and even so there's no guarantee that you will join. Can anyone that has access there see if they have the separated subs for different languages there? It's only 10 episodes.
>>23472700He did 08th MS Team BD 12 years ago, but only DVD for 0080.https://nyaa.si/view/457790
Has this been scanned?
Not sure if this is the place to ask for this but wonder if anyone has links for Gyrozetter. I realized I never finished the series back in the day so went after it, searched for the magnet and there's an active torrent but with a single seed and taking forever to start. I plan to keep seeding this when finished but if anyone has it archived and can help with seeding would be much appreciated
>>23470911>>23471063>>23471160Fucking hell, I suppose I'll have to settle for Godannar if I don't feel like taking another leap of faith. I'll decide after Gun X Sword, but I'm still worried about the quality of the Go-Saurer subs. If not for the nature of Ganbaruger itself, the instances of the wrong synonyms being used would annoy me more then it already does, but I hesitate to slap it with the crabstick moniker as the dialogue does make sense 90% of the time. It just needs a really hefty v2 overhaul as I assume the checker (Mattman, according to the eyecatches) was at least half-asleep on the job.Oh yeah, speaking of Gun x Sword it's impossible to search properly due to getting mixed up with Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online. Is the xPearse release of GxS the best available one, publicly speaking?
>>23472781The EG version of Miller's Report has no seeds. any help with that?
>>23473228I might have it raw in my stacks at least, and there's even a chance I'll look
