I think this is a good place to ask about this
humblebundle.com
This bundle is about to end, and i would like to know if the volumes they provide here are of better quality than the scanlations we currently have.
Also, if someone already bought it, could they provide some links?
Beeter go back to bumping your /wsr/ thread m8
nothing else i can do about it
I'd pay $8 for the volumes but $17 for the artbook is too much for me, especially since I haven't even read Blame in the first place.
it's pretty good, but there isn't really much dialog to read, most of it is just about the amazing world and architecture.
Yeah I know, makes sense you'd want the artbook of it.
i would buy the highest tier, but i already bought the two physical volumes and have the third on pre-order. They are pretty huge and look amazing, but if i i had one thing to complain is that they translated the mc name from killy to kyrri.
I guess it's the engrish pronunciation, like some volumes of Berserk calling Guts 'Gatsu'.
Can't you buy the artbook in physical form too?
it says there that it is an exclusive digital for the bundle, so i guess not, otherwise i would definitely be interested in a physicial copy as well.
Well that sucks.
Hit me up if you need anything else.
awww shit, user, you are the man!
Would you mind also sharing the other stuff, if that isn't too much work? I can probably use some of the panels and page spreads as wallpapers.
dude thats awesome thanks.
I love how Blame vol 2 is 900MB
Not entirely related, but I have to say that the new print release of Blame is pretty nice. Maybe a bit too expensive though, but then again, the actual books are huge.
my sincere thanks, this helps a lot.
I can't recommend enough for you to give it some time, because it's definitely worth it, especially with this kind of quaility available. And if you like it, check out "biomega" from the same author.
Yeah, 30€ for one volume is a bit too much, but the size and quality is too good to pass.
It was on my backlog so this is a good time as any. I was interested in the Sidonia bundle anyway so overall it was worth it.
>talking about the value of the new volumes, especially the 'official' English version
>"Kyrii"
>that horrible rewrite of the "hill" quote in volume 1
>the magical mystery of the missing box in the Exterminator chapter(s)
yeah
how about
nah
what missing box, now i'm curious.
Of course they're better.
They're also huge.
THANK YOU (*≧ω≦*)
Why would you spend money on digital version of the manga?
Order reprints from JP Amazon if you want to support the author.
There is a page at the end where Killy and Sanakan fight the Exterminator. At one point Exterminator puts Killy in some sort of stasis box.
In reprints they've shopped the box out, so Killy just stands there without shooting.
Admittedly, the box looked like shit, but still. Altering the original work should be a big no-no.
I can take a photo of that page if anyone wants.
if you can, i'm interested in how bad it looks.
This box around Killy is just not there in the reprint, with no explanation given and absolutely no attempt at redrawing it present.
While I can only present this in theory, I feel it's fair to say that they just *lost* the original digital copy of the pages, and dug out the physical manuscripts that didn't have the box digitally added and just used those instead. And nobody attempted to fix it or bring it up anywhere or anything of the sort. Even though the box plays a point in the plot. Because fuck you.
Here is the reprint.
well, the more you know.
Is this the only thing that has changed in the master edition reprints, or is there more?
And here is the scan of the original.
No idea why the photo rotated itself.
There are a few places with visual artefacts. Like a few smudges on that first spread with Killy and a kid walking on a huge bridge.
user you are fucking amazing
Oh, there's plenty more. It's just generally either
1. not as extremely fucking explicit
2. not important enough to register
put them together for future threads
well that sucks
>someone claims the key and no one else can download it now
godammit
If you pay attention, you notice that more than half of that specific page has been redrawn. The only things that distinctively remain are the Exterminator's head, the innermost ring above its head, and Killy's body - and the shading on that last one is new, too.
>claiming the key
What kind of sad faggot does that? Requested another key but you are pathetic, let other people enjoy the bundle.
I'm willing to bet nobody claimed it and that it was simply auto-claimed by IPs all over the world downloading from it at the same time.
In the spirit of giving, here's v1 and the 'artbook' from the bundle: mega.nz
Working on uploading the rest; will update link when that's done.
Haven't read Blame yet, but weren't the "humans" in it supposed to be mutated and/or augmented to hell and back?
Yeah that's probably it.
Thanks for uploading, I'd do it myself but I'm supposed to be working at the moment
Something like that, killy is trying to find a legit human.
Kinda. Depends on how you define mutated/augmented. There's different populations of 'humans' all over The City, so some have biologically evolved, others have technologically evolved, others look relatively the same. The electro-fishers specifically look pretty close to normal humans. Ultimately though, they are almost all still bipedal humanoids.
i thought those were silicon lifeforms
Nope! They're decidedly flesh and blood. The Silicon, on the other hand, get visibly robotic/electric-y when they are maimed.
Didn't post this other page because I stopped thinking about it. Flesh and blood:
Thread's probably gonna die before the upload's done so do you mind linking it on this thread? I'm pretty sure some anons were interested in it too so it would be a big help
Is it only in pdf format?
mega.nz
This is all I got, since I hate Sidonia.
Blame volumes 1 and 2, artbook, Aposimz, Noise.
>hating sidonia
the absolute madman
Yes, but you can convert them, of course. There were other options under the original key, but it's not like I was gonna download that shit in epub or whatever. There was no image option.
there was a cbz option
If anyone can, I'll prefer that.
fairly sure you can open pdf files in cbz
Indeed, cbz is probably what >90% prefer over here.
Should I read this? Read the first chapter but the scans were bad and mirrored and I didnt understand anything
Even with the amazing quality in this, you will probably get confused after the first reading. But definitely worth it.
>didnt understand anything
pleb
no, but don't expect to understand everything your first time through; that's not the goal
if you can understand just enough to keep going through the narrative, you'll probably have understood about as much as 1/4th of all Blame readers
it's only the extremely dedicated readers that come in here to chitter about Davinel being a girl and Killy being human and the dog and such
Wait, the humblebundle volumes are mirrored?
the old scanlations are.
I don't let Blame threads die so easily, even if they do have a shit opening.
>physical volumes are £27 each
goddamn do I want these but spending £135 on five volumes seems ridiculous
Six volumes.
fug
I was under the impression that there were only 5 volumes of the re-release though?
...
Well there goes another chunk of my wallet
They only come out every like 2-3 months tho. That's why I can get them myself, otherwise it'd be a killer.
any idea when vol.6 is out? 4 is June, is 6 even coming out in 2017?
I would like to think that by this pace, 5 is october and 6 is in january.
oh good I might actually be able to justify spending the money on all 6 by then. then again
>£162
thats still a lot of money tbqhwy senpai desu
Any news on the netflix movie?
5 is actually September. December-January sounds about right for 6
yeah, but have you seen the monolith of a book those things are? do it
I want to buy all 11 volumes of Aku no Hana and I'd have to spend ~120€ for it. If you love it then it doesn't really matter, you support the author who made it and you also get hours of entertainment.
Hopefully everybody involved in it is dead and it won't happen. That'd be good news to these ears.
How will Nihei finish his new manga then? :( speaking of which any news on that?
might have to be a christmas present to myself if they're all released by december
its too bad I won't be alive to see Berserk finished and released in English so I can despair about not being able to afford it
>read Berserk years ago
>get absolutely obsessed with it
>38 something volumes 17€ each
>buy volume 7 on a whim
>it's still the only one I own
Glad I got over it, I think I would have regretted wasting any more money on it. I mean it's great and all but 40 something volumes and counting, it's too much.
