Update and New Manga Release

Hiyo, Wylds here.

For everyone who is waiting for Buyuden manga, I have joined with INP Mangaz to help release Buyuden in HQ.  Please look forward to it.

As for other news, Rice Burner Scans is proud to release the first chapter of Go Da Gun manga.  It's a kick-ass fighting manga! On a side note, the raws were taken from a Chinese website, so if anyone knows where I can get better raws, please let me know. ^_^  Anyways, enjoy the release of the first chapter and I appreciate any comments or feedback.  Thanks.

Go Da Gun - Ch 1

  1. ...wow crappy raws are crappy. No wonder I don't like working with the Chinese raws. Well I don't think you did that much to make them "better" anyway, lol.

    I haven't checked your Buyuden chapters since your first comment on Buyuden was: "I'm still learning the workarounds on using photoshop so the quality may not be up to par with other scanlators but whatever". Thus I decided to wait for someone to do a better job. If not then do it myself. ;)

    Anyway I was going to drop taking up GodaGun but...well after checking out your chapter; I guess I won't. I'll start releasing it when I finish my bach thesis which should be mid June xD

    Now to critics and praise:

    It's great that there's someone who with back cleaning stills decide to do titles other's aren't so they don't die.

    I would have liked it if you don't put the stuff in the parenthesis into the bubbles too. A note on the side of the panel like how you did with some of the screams in the pages would suffice.
    I would have liked it if you cleaning what could be cleaned, like the way to the academy where you see the big wolf-head statue. You cleaned the text fine but what about the weird line doing down in the panel? It looks to weird to not clean it.
    Oh and the text should probably have been bigger. ;)

    So kudos for thinking of releasing stuff but do a little more out of the cleaning, k?

    PS: Remove the "You have to be a member of wordpress/blogspot/somethinggID"-option if you want more comments in the future. People normally tend to groan (like I did) and drop commenting.
    I did it (only this time) because I'm sure you wanted to know about your work^^

  2. Hiyo,

    Thanks for your feedback.

    It's always good to learn something new and improve upon in the future.

    About the manga, you're right, I just wanted to get interest out so it doesn't die and hopefully, someone picks it up and releases in better quality. I'd read it all over again in better quality. ^^

    As for the typesetting, I wasn't too sure how to go about it, so I'll make sure to improve upon it with your feedback.

    Thank you for letting me know about the comment option, I didn't know about it. I guess, I need to mess around with the setting's more. lol. It's been changed now.

    Again, I appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

  3. No problem. I remember how much I sucked when I started in this business a decade ago, lol.
    I still use it to remind me not to do that awful job ever again. Only my redraw and typesetting passed rest were crap so I wonder how they released it.

    Cool that you fixed the comment button, I told another group the same thing and they did the same. I think blogspot got it as automated as that...a shame really since blogspot is easy to work with...except when they delete the account -_-;;;

    Oh that reminds me; dunno how you feel about basketball mangas but Ahiru no Sora hasnt been picked by anyone for a long time. Though I dunno if someone is picking it up, my group won't be since GDG is more than enough for us now. Plus I am not that into sport as girls in my manga titles ;) So if you feel like it, you can check it out and then pick it up if you like it.

  4. Yeah, I realized with scanlating manga, quality still plays a major role in enjoying it. ^^ The more I practice, hopefully the better I get at it. I'm using GDG as a my scanlating practice and I see some improvements from the 1st chapter ^_^. I would be happy to hear your feedback on it again ^_~ The 2nd chapter is pretty interesting especially the father and principal duo, lol.

    I agree, blogspot is pretty easy to work with. I can see why they left the comment option on default like that, more registered users for them the better, but that's just a hassle. ^^

    Oh, I love basketball manga, all time fave is Slam Dunk. I've read a little of Ahiru no Sora. I didn't realize it's been a while since the last chapter. That's more than enough motivation for me to pick it up and start getting interest back into it. ^^ Though I agree with you about girls in manga ~_^
    Btw, which group are you with?

  5. Indeed^^

    Yes, since the tl came back to the scanlation biz after his break on those titles. Plus the other group dying out cuz the leader didn't want to do it cuz he rather release one chapters of new stuff all the time. Rule 1 to follow: Stop picking up new titles all the time. It will only kill your group in the end and fast. Yes, like how girls in shoujo group do and die out xD

    I'm in too many groups, more than I wanna be in, but the one I was tricked to make and lead atm is Shi-Ki. We don't do mainstream titles, we are a bit slow since everyone work or go to uni, and we are always in need of translators (otherwise there would be many more great titles out, lol)

  6. Cool, I will take your advice on picking up new titles. Makes sense. ^^

    Ah, so you're leading Shi-Ki, cool. I like the titles that you guys have. Kimera is pretty interesting so far. I agree, translators are hard to find these days. Just got to find a fan translator and hopefully he/she is willing to help enjoy the series and bring it to the masses. ^^
