Wait for Tankobon

Apparently some folks are too into speed-scans and quick releases:

Does not read at all like One-Piece

I thought there was a crackdown on this kind of stuff underway.

A good write-up on speed-scan & scanlator blues from Astro Nerd Boy:

I tried to read it, but it hurt my brain. You could DL it and run find/search for all kinds of words. I betcha you will find the incidence of them wanting if you find any of them at all. Must be a translation error…

Wow, Great Typesetting Too!

Not official policy document. DRAFT. For discussion purposes ONLY

Perhaps if they put out a manga version of it.  Just a thought…

LATER: Looks like they left something out of the translation. Seems some of the catch-phrases in Japanese are historically fraught with militarism and angry ghosts. Time to burn some incense. Or it is all a wily ruse? See:

Genshiken Ch 91: Full Moteki Panic!

Warning, Spoiler lamp is ON! The good news is that sooner or later a far superior English translation of Ch 91 will probably appear, somehow.. You may wish to wait for it.

UPDATE: This is now obsolete. I was much closer than on this one than previous attempts, but I missed one REALLY BIG detail.. see extra notes at the end.

Genshiken Ch 89: or maybe this is just all fan-fiction

Wherein I do some random practice using machine translation and post the results

UPDATE: Well, for obvious reasons, this is now obsolete. Whew, I got the broad strokes, but really missed a lot of important nuances.  Still it was fun. Thanks to all!

Ok I admit it.. I might be wrong about the provenance of the Peruvian scans, and for that matter, the Haitian Creole ones. Still, I was so curious about what went on in chapters 89, 90 (and now 91 – from what I can see of 91, Kio Shimoku has really, really gone overboard with the slapstick) that I was compelled to take matters into my own hands.

Not too great, but better than nuthin’…  SPOILER LAMPS ON!

And if anyone has a better translation. localization/ approximation for any of this, please do not hesitate to contribute…

What a mess! See below the cut..

Genshiken Ch 90 – The hard way

Wherein the universal translator is giving the crew trouble – Spoiler lamp is ON!

UPDATE: Well, for obvious reasons, this is now obsolete. This was the first time I tried re-translation, and it is the sloppiest. Still it was fun. Thanks to all!

Ok, I couldn’t wait any longer. With the help of much Google Universal Translator and online Peruvian and Bulgarian scans, not to mention the Haitian-creole ones (or so says Google xlate autodetect) I sat down and approximated out the dialogue script for Chapter 90. Or maybe this is just all fan-fiction

Genshiken ch 90: I find a review and wail in frustration

Oh MY GAWD! Why cannot I learn Japanese! She who up with me puts has tried to help, for the last 10 years even, but I can’t even get the Katakana alphabet into the memory banks.

FAIL!

So I have to rely on Google Translate. Yeah right! How’s that working?

So when I find a short review of Genshiken Ch90 on a Japanese blog, I am no further ahead. Forgive me, oh writer of http://orezui.blog91.fc2.com/ , I do this only to illustrate how far us miserable furreign types will go to get our GENSHIKEN FIX!

For those of you gifted with facility in Japanese, the original is here:

If only I could read it!

Well at least I got a tip as to whose costumes come from where, for whenever i can track down ch90, like in 3 years from now when the official version finally hits our heathen shores…

WAUGHHHHH!

Perhaps I will have better luck with the Bulgarian and/ or Peruvian scans.
