Terra Formars: Chapter 161 v1.01 (English)

As you probably guessed, I’ll be doing the series in the laziest way possible. But hey, at least it’s something. At any rate, even if I had a cleaner, I wouldn’t redraw because when I did the first half of last chapter it just sank in how much time I would waste doing redraw when I could just fucking translate and typeset like you know, the two main things I’m capable of.

Meh. In any case, my main objective is to attempt to catch us up to the raws before the series starts up again in mid march. So, hopefully at that time, Mangastream will pick the series back up or possibly another scanlation group because I honestly don't want to get stuck doing this for the rest of my fucking life. Anyway, see ya!

Terra Formars: Chapter 160 v1.10 (English)

Kek. Well, there wasn’t exactly any blurred dicks on that credits page so hopefully it’ll be fine. That, and I doubt much people saw those one's which I used for Rain Hard seeing how nobody read it. Anyway, first things first. I’m back!!!!
Ha ha. Anyway, since MS don’t have a translator for Terra Formars anymore, I decided to get a chapter out for all 5 of us left reading the series. And since doing this all by myself is too much, I think I’ll just typeset over the raws, not clean ‘em up and be incredibly lazy from now on. That, and my cleaner didn't send me the 2nd half of this chapter cleaned 2 days after he said he would so I just went with what I had. I mean, if someone can't deliver when they say they will, then don't fucking say it. Whatever. Don't care much either way as it's more about reading the series and such. Also, I did the SFX this time and will do so from now on as well. Yippee!  Furthermore, let's hope this is just temporary as MS should get off their asses and actually pump out chapters rather than leaving the series dead in the water after seeing me take away their precious Jew money. Actually, speaking about jew money, I kinda got sacked from my job this Monday so give me every single fucking penny you got, fuckers. Nah. I wouldn't do that, right? Anyway, see ya!

Terra Formars Manga Chapter 151 English Translation

Yup. Got it done. Now, I just want to let you guys all know that I may or may not be continuing depending if I get some help or not. That is to say, it is very taxing on myself, not to mention depressing doing it all by myself so this time round I'd like some help. I've already posted a topic on batoto and mangahelpers, and I got a cleaner who contacted me by email, but he's not the best and I had to run filters to fix up what he sent me.

That said, on to translation stuff. Now, Mangastream got everything down pretty well across the board, and while there were some fumbles here and there, it's probably just adapting certain lines and stuff like that. However, there were a few eyebrow raising things. First, the first line on page 2. It doesn't say "who sent it", but rather "It's where?". As if, they didn't expect the ship to be at Mars, hence the line. That, and anybody who can check an online dictionary can tell you that. What happened there?

Anyhow, they also got the roaches "johji" wrong, they had just "Joh" which was wrong. Did they even look at the line? Seriously, some people. And lastly, "The Design Republic"....... what? Back up, back up, back up, back the fuck up! Okay. Let me get this straight. Here is the JP for that line "デザ共和国"!  Now put that into google translate, and see what you get. But! Hold up. Read it phonetically. What does it say? Hmm. I can't hear you. Speak a little louder. It's fucking Deza! Not fucking "Design"! Moreover, you even see Japanese products with Deza on 'em when you google the fucking characters! Gah! Just guess how they got "Design"? Just guess. Ugh. Anyhow, "if" it was "デザイン", then yes, it would be design, but that's not the given letters. Anyway, their TL is fine for the most part but they seriously need to check things over.

All said and done, you'll see for yourself how some lines are worded very differently so I say judge for yourself. They're mainly how one can take the same line very differently, and what being more literal is like. Other than that, let's wait and see if anyone lends a hand, I'll see you next time, and you can find the links below. Bye!


P.S. - Left out the ads at the end. Don't care much for them. Also, I'm not a good redrawer so that's why some pages have bad redraw on 'em. I mainly clone brush and try to cover it up, so I'm not very skilled. Poor me.

Update
Actually, the Deza thing was Design since it was an abbreviation of Dezain which means Design. Though I searched the internet and the online dictionaries beforehand and it didn't say that it was an abbreviation of it. Hence, why I left it Deza. Anyhow, doesn't really matter. I doubt I'll get any help to continue the series past this point.

Terra Formars: Mangastream and Imperial Scans

Figured one of those ad revenue redirect sites would pick up Terra Formars knowing that IS did the same probably for the same reason. Anyhow, it is odd because even I noticed (and a few on 4chan) that near enough everything with MS when compared to IS releases of Terra Formars are the same. Typesetting, scans, various names on the credits page and much much more. For one, seems like they more or less merged with Mangastream to form an even bigger group and wow oh wow just look at the many names on that credits page. Sheesh. They must really want that ad revenue.
Now, from that and from what I've gathered on the net it seems that IS didn't exactly disband, but rather just go somewhere else than the retiring due to life and such like the message on their site detailed. However, that probably just applied to the sites main lead than the whole group, but they really should have been more forward and direct as to what was happening with themselves and the series and be more open and transparent. I mean, it's just eyebrow raising. We all know it's about those Chinese raw providers in Japan who got arrested and all the backlash that been happening recently. There's no shame in acknowledging that much.

Anyway, MS picking up the series won't deter me from working on the series. In fact, due to them keeping it available only on their site (even if it is reuploaded elsewhere) works more in my favour because it won't be available to everyone else and not everyone will go to their site to read the series seeing how most people read it off the various major read online sites at their own leisure. That, and a few other reasons but there's no need to list them all. All in all, it's good to be back on the series. Can't wait to see the reaction to my next credits page. Heads will roll! Ah ha ha ha ha!!
