Assuming you're not trolling, it's the shit video players you have. Grab SMPlayer and use that instead. Also bit of copy pasted advice involving that:
When installing, deselect MPlayer if it asks.
Last I saw, on Windows there's this problem with SMPlayer bundling outdated mpv due to Windows limitations. Easy fix- after installing SMPlayer, grab mpv https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpv-player-windows/files and overwrite their mpv folder with yours. It should have an update script you run as admin; when SMPlayer updates, just move your mpv folder out, update SMP, and move back.';

Hey buddy, if you're still around: regarding not debinding manga, as said before it depends on the size of the manga and strength of the spine. Here's about halfway through a 320 page volume: https://files.catbox.moe/97nr73.png I'm practically cracking the glass on my Epson V600 trying to push the book down. If the spine's one of the flimsier "mag" level spines it might work out alright, but the distortion near the margin is still distinct in this case.

As for scanner recc's, no clue. I use the Epson V600 and it's alright. I mostly got it because it was one of the few scanners that advertised having a flatbed and working with linux. It does the job well enough, although I wish it had a larger flatbed for scanning big bois. I also wish it had a more advanced naming system. I've noticed it crash when trying to scan large areas at color+max DPI.';

Ordinarily I'd say yes but a scanlation group is already doing the manga so I don't know if I'd piss them off lol. Plus I'd have to know which version since some versions of T28 change things up to be child friendly e.g. Murasame Family being cut out. If you have the Kappa version, I could just do only the first chapter with Dr. Kaneda since that's the only new thing that version has.

The Turned A novels and Okami no Seiza/Wolf Constellation (since you claim to have all of Yokoyama's works) are probably the ones I'm most interested in though the latter is only vaguely /m/ related because of Ginrei and its protagonist appearing in the third GR omake. Either ways, I plan to take a stab at Tetsujin Dakkan Sakusen after Suikoden anyways but beyond that I can't guarantee doing scanlation work again.';

'>>22512009
>a scanlation group is already doing the manga
Are they? Is it a real scanlation or is it MTL? I'm happy to hear someone's taking a stab at it (although of course it's as I finally start to do something), I'm just worried it's someone that's throwing it into Google and calling it a day.
>Wolf Constellation
It's somewhere in my massive pile yeah, I'll start debinding it right now. Same with the Turned A novels, if I can find where I put them. vaguely /m/ related or not, I consider all Yokoyama works protected under the Museum's umbrella, totally fine with me.

Not sure how to specify this, just things that make my eyes roll three sixty degrees and then moonslide through the back of my skull due to the on screen happenings I force them to bear witness to.

Things like excessive tragedy happening for the sake of tragedy in order to generate an emotional response in the viewer but in an actually rather mind numbingly dull manner, without containing any interesting tidbits about the mechanics or lore or even interesting visuals. Things that just don't amuse me because I'm tired of interacting with other people in the meatspace and happenings on screen remind me of that not, and in a good way. Things like women characters and child characters screaming and crying and doing other things that, once again, are supposed to elicit an emotional response in the viewer in an illicit, calculated manner and they do just that, annoy me (being annoyed is an emotion, right?) (I dislike annoyances) to the point of asking myself why are the women and children so prominently featured in my gianto robotto military """drama""" cartoons. Things like child characters also being main characters and the endless whining about adults not taking responsibility or whatever and children going to war and S U F F E R I N G being forced to pilot cool gianto robottos because the adults wouldn't take responsibility or whatever. I just want something relaxing, interesting and FUN, with capital F, U and N, with characters that make me cheer for them as I want them to succeed instead of making me wish that they'd be (finally) killed off (or at least completely sidelined) so that they wouldn't lower the quality of my experience with the show any longer.

There wasn't a lot of coverage for Srungle back in the day, but places like Animage's episode guides have little tidbits of information. They do mention the staff worked closely with the toy and model kit makers (and that the show would have lots of computer grid lines), but I don't think they went further than having a transforming Dougram and lots of Star Wars style walkers. The fact the chicken walkers fly around is probably due to Macross's influence. You may have noticed the show introduced folded up flight modes for the smaller Trekkers, which I took as the staff just giving up depicted Gorilla Team's individual vehicles as anything more than little space ships.';

'>>22541011
I like your theory, sounds plausible to me! (And man, I'm old enough to have bought Animage magazines when they were coming out!)

Watching the show is so marvelously bizarre. They're always flying around in space, traveling to and from various asteroid cities. So what kind of vehicles do they use? Why, bipedal walkers with exposed seats, of course! (smacks forehead)

I guess coming up with this special zone of space with air and gravity(?) was the wrters' way of shoehorning the sponsor's toy designs into their "mission impossible in space" story.

Galvion's setting rreally would have been a much better home for Srungle's mecha. (Non-coincidentally, as mentioned previously.)';

From what I've looked at, the official subs are considerably more accurate than AXSUS Hat, just with worse formatting.

Generally, TIFF gives better image quality but the main advantage is that it's easier to work with that format in programs like photoshop in comparison to PNG.

Depends on what you mean. There's tons of ways people can help. By grabbing, do you mean buying physical copies from Japan, or from elsewhere? Or do you mean digital copies and ripping/de-DRMing them? Or do you mean something else, like a way to contribute or something?';

Good. I might actually be able to do this one then.
Also, when you say you have Yokoyama's manga is it just ones actually made by him or one he's credited by tradition like later adaptations? Mainly because vol1 of GR Newtype has missing pages, and there's two more volumes of Tetsujin Dakkan Sakusen.';

Steambot Chronicles was a fantastic game, it got a bit edgy with the sidequests though.
Every time you completed a sidequest it left EVERYONE involved in the world worse off, you were the only one that really benefited via quest rewards (or say the owner of the classic folksy textiles business in the countryside becoming more successful via industrialization by the machine plans you got of the prostitute while firing all his now unneeded workers).

Its a shame the sequel got cancelled and all we got was a trailer.';

The archive is going to include both; the ones I've been buying have been entirely him though. That's mostly because the one's from him take priority of course, but also partially because 1) I didn't know the GR Newtype was missing pages until the anon in that one thread (you, maybe?) pointed it out, and 2) I totally forgot about TDS tbqhwyf. I can and will grab them in the next batch, but I have don't have time to add it to the current one.

Some of these are oneshots/short stories, some are single volumes, and others are series. For The Long March (the ***), his website lists two different versions with different dates and no explanation as to why, but I think I have both if they are different. Note that I also have ウイグル無頼, 戦国獅子伝, and 時の行者, but apparently scans may already exist; I was in discussions with HS! and Hox about them a couple years ago. There are ~60 entries listed on his website that I do not see explicitly available for purchase anywhere.';

>but I have don't have time to add it to the current one.
As in I quite literally don't have the time, to clarify: I have ~5 more days until they start dumping the stuff that's already arrived so I have to place the shipping order overseas before then. Waiting on one more item that's in transit to arrive, though it may not get there in time (in which case 2nd batch will be smaller and will be much quicker to get that out of their warehouse whenever it arrives).
>re: list
If there's anything there specifically you're interested in seeing first (whether for TLing or just to read I don't mind) let me know. I've already debound the 昆虫惑星 Anthology so all the stories in that one are ready to be scanned if you're interested in any of them (being Point 4, 宇宙船マゼラン, and 91衛星(サテライト)SOS!! ).

Also that list doesn't include anything we already had scans of in the archive, like Sally The Witch et al.';

I don't know if anyone is deeply invested in Srungle's story, but as soon as Volklazer took over Crime he became practically a different character and the second half of the series changes a fair bit. Like before he was basically Darth Vader as a business administrator but now he's just evil space leader with an evil army. The show is going to introduce some plot twists and retcons (some that immediately undo the prior episode) so be aware if what you're watching seems sloppier than before.';

>I didn't know the GR Newtype was missing pages until the anon in that one thread (you, maybe?)
No. The missing pages thing has been known forever. I've come across 2 people who said to me that they would have already scanlated this years ago if vol1 didn't have missing scans.
>I totally forgot about TDS tbqhwyf. I can and will grab them in the next batch
That's completely OK. TDS is very obscure even amongst Japanese fans, the main problem is that all online listings for vol2 and vol3 are out of stock, the manga itself had a very limited print run. It's part of a trilogy with Akakage Remains and Babel the Returner (already being translated) of mid 00s revival mangas. Do artbooks/guidebooks for the GR OVA and Imagawa-made T28 stuff fall under your definition of what you want to include? Mainly because none of the T28 stuff has been scanned before, and as for GR, there's only the 30th anniversary guidebook and one from 1995 with background info not archived yet, I could provide you with name details of them if you want.

As for the list you have, I'd suggest prioritising these due to their significance/appearance in Imagawa adaptations. Like I've stressed many times before, there's no guarantee I will be able to translate any of them at all (I think Suikoden is probably going to be my last one) but I will try to triage some of them if I'm able to:
>音無しの剣
>コメットさん
>血笑鴉
>あばれ天童
>恋と十手とお銀ちゃん
>オフィス7
>A Man From Texas
>デイモス

The other manga I'd suggest you priortise whenever you get them should be:
>おてんばトリオ
>伊賀の影丸 (not just the gaiden, but the whole work)
>ウイグル無頼 (if scans already exist then great then that's one less to worry about)
>闇の土鬼
>時の行者

You won't have to worry about Point 4, all S101 volume releases have that short story.

'>>22575519
>伊賀の影丸 (not just the gaiden, but the whole work)
Scans of the main series are in the archive, although actually looking at them they're too low res to effectively TL from. I'll look into buying a set on the next run.
>闇の土鬼
Scans of this are also in the archive as "Dark Earth Demon", although I can get a set for a higher resolution on the next run. All the old scans really haven't aged that well, huh?
>No. The missing pages thing has been known forever.
Look man, B°A said jack shit when he gave them to me so I just figured they were fine. A lot of my scans were given to me by B°A and S.T. and unless they warned me about the scans being shit or having issues I just briefly looked them over, went "nice, thanks", and went about my day. Clearly I should've scrutinized them all a bit more.
>時の行者
>ウイグル無頼
>Hox is still around?
So, I did say a couple years ago. :^) Back when I was first ordering stuff I was attempting to consolidate scans between all the various hoarders, and that included Hox and Happy Scans!. Hox and I were discussing various things relating to the available Yokoyama scans when he retired, and he 1) never actually gave me the scans for ウイグル無頼 and 戦国獅子伝 that he has, and 2) never confirmed if my copy of 史記 is the same as his, as he'd told me his had corruption and that was preventing him from steamrolling through the TL. Wright told me HS! had 時の行者 and 魔界衆 and truth be told we forgot to follow up on that. I'm sending both of them e-mails right now to poke about those scans (dunno if Hox still checks his e-mail though).
>オフィス7
>A Man From Texas
These are on their way and will be here with the rest of the stuff soon(tm)
>Point 4, all S101
ye I know, but it's already debound and everything. Plus, if HS! & HNG are going off the same scans I have of S101 for their release (it looks it), then it needs a new scan anyway.

Absolutely. As far as the creators/franchises that we're archiving, anything relating to them - music, novels, artbooks, manga, western adaptations, etc. etc. - are eligible to be archived. Which is part of why the scope is so massive/bloated and thus actual tangible "progress" seems so slow; there's so much to get and sort that everything becames a crawl to get it all done in the grand scheme.

And yeah, it'd be tremendous help if you'd provide names or info links, both for me adding them to the spreadsheet as well as finding it to purchase.
>That's completely OK. TDS is very obscure even amongst Japanese fans, the main problem is that all online listings for vol2 and vol3 are out of stock
I'm seeing quite a few secondhand options for it, I'll go ahead and buy those on the next run. Honestly, if your enigmatic editor pals wanna glance at the raws we DO have and make judgement calls on what needs replacements, I'll grab them all together.';

>although actually looking at them they're too low res to effectively TL from
I gave selected pages to the typesetter and all the methods he tried do little to change the quality of the image.
>Scans of this are also in the archive as "Dark Earth Demon"
Looking at the filesize, the quality might actually be OK. I don't have time right now to check all of them (I will either today or tomorrow) but the general rule when it comes to these things is that anything below 60+mb per volume is a massive warning sign (see Kagemaru)
>Hox
I see. He did say he wanted to Suikoden ages ago iirc...
>And yeah, it'd be tremendous help if you'd provide names or info links
The one GR book I've not seen done anywhere else so far is:
>THIS IS ANIMATION SPECIAL ジャイアントロボ (I'm pretty sure, comparing the Wikipedia Japan citations and the stuff on the infamous bio doc that wasn't mistranslated or made up, that this is where the legit background character info originates from. There's some pinup posters of Ginrei and Taisou apparently)
>『鉄人28号』公式ガイドブック (mostly staff testimonials and interviews about the 2004 anime, some, but not all of the settei
>尾川匠『鉄人28号 白昼の残月 公式徹底解析書』(contains settei on both the 2004 anime and movie)
I'd probably recommend the 30th anniversary book, but as I'm aware it literally is just digitally colored settei that's already been scanned and comments on designing the characters by senior staff.';

'>>22576615
Now that I've looked at your folder:
All of them are fine as is. They literally just need to be re-levelled (as in the tones of black and white would need to altered slightly.)

Iga no Kagemaru and Rain Dragon are the only ones you might need to look into rescanning. I will check Shin Akakage and Taira later, but if you remember what I said about the 60mb rule, then it may be the case that these two will need rescanning though that isn't for certain.';

'>>22577253

There's still a lot, especially if you count bad subs. Like, Zambot and Daitarn need a scrub (there was a guy trying to do Zambot on the /m/subs server but he's been MIA for a year), and Grendizer probably needs new subs from the ground up. Wataru was supposedly fully subbed on the Bandai Spirits YT channel, but I've only seen the first 10 episodes from that, so we're stuck with ARR; Trider was a similar situation iirc. Anything Animeshinigami did will have to be redone too since those are MTL'd Italian. And there will probably be more the closer you look.

Their MTL subs are incomperehensible and wrong, so if you know 5 words of Japanese you'll have a better idea of what's going on.

Not to mention the usual ARRisms of pushing people to donate, or having pro-Putin, anti-vax, hylozoics or some other kind of dumb messages in the subs.
