Can you recommend a manga scanlation site?

Matthew

I don't know if this is the right board for this, but I've been looking for a good manga Scanlation site for awhile. Specifically one that contains some of the unreleased in U.S. Gundam manga. I'm especially looking for scans of Crossbone Gundam.

Can anyone help out?

EDIT: Sorry, Was in a hurry when I wrote this and mispelled "right." fixed now.

This is technically illegal, so I'm not sure if you'll get banned or not.

Also, "write board for this,"?

Fuck you.

some Ppl in g&t talk about how to burn dvds, post magazine scans, and there was an unlocked thread about how to cheat on exams/finals a couple weeks ago that no mod touched, so i'll be amused if this guy is singled out for a ban on something that isnt liscensed or translated yet... shrug

You can burn DvDs legally(not everything is related to downloading), and posting one or two pages of a magazine is fair use. I'm not sure about the cheating on exams one, but that isn't technically illegal, it would just get you kicked out of university.

posting from a Wii isn't an excuse

it has fucking autocomplete. You type in three letters "peo" and it says "people".

It says he's posting from Ohio, but there's no way to know if he's somewhere where he manga or whatever he asks for is liscenced.

Lone Wolf and Cub is the only manga I have read start to finish. I read the first book of Decapitator Asamon, but found it was too much on the side exploitation for my tastes. Too much rape and sex, not enough sword fighting and whatnot.

Kamen Rider Spirits was pretty cool, mostly for the Taki stuff.

GANTZ was kind of neat, but something about it bothered me and eventually stopped reading that.

Is Trigun worth the time investment? I enjoy steampunkish stuff, I enjoy action comics-- should I try it?

Was it because(minor spoilers I guess)

[spoiler:e1b005a0ae] everyone kept getting killed and it was like "well shit this does not seem to be going very well!" All the deaths seem kind of rushed but maybe it's because I was reading to fast? I stopped around when that alien killed everyone in that school and shit. [/spoiler:e1b005a0ae]

If I was posting from a place where the manga I was looking for was licensed, I wouldn't be asking this question.

i don't know what scanlation is and it sounds illegal, so i'm just going to lock this thread?

Scanlation = scanned and translated. Generally frowned upon, especially if an official english translation is being sold.

Frowned upon yes, but for some manga it's the only possible way to read the manga the way it was meant to be read. Hell, some of it's been butchered so far as to have 60% of the story missing. I paid for the damn book, I want the entire story, not some watered-down version of the original.

Not to ruin anyone's fun, but I'd strongly imagine the 60% thing to be the exception, not the rule.

As for a "watered down" product, well, we're not allowed to discuss emulating Seiken Densetsu 2 just 'cause Secret of Mana was/is noticeably censored.
