/r/ translation. Script will be fine, I can photoshop it myself.

>>7 here,

>>27 Heh, now you have an impromptu scanlation going :)

>>8 Thanks for posting the rest. Are there any places online to buy/download Lain manga in general, though? It seems quite rare.

>>17 Yes, Jon Postel (especially like in the comic) would be scarier than Vannevar Bush. Those comics were... something, but I'm not sure what. Cheesy? Scary? Smart concepts but dumb presentation? I agree with their principles, but that is just propaganda-ish. Ironically, only someone already converted would have the patience to read the whole thing.

I would love to see a translation for this.

bump for script ;__;

WTF is this? Sauce please.

It's a self-styled "guidebook" to the doujin music scene in Japan. The cover art was clearly made by ABe, although I wonder if he made anything for the interior (or the reverse side)...

Does anyone have the whole thing? I want to know more about the doujin music scene.

Well, if you want, you can always buy it here

http://www.paletweb.com/selectpage.asp?code=80000036

Paletweb are a good business, I've gotten lots of touhou stuff from them.

You risk going there?

hey, it moves faster than this place..

Admittedly, this is the first anime I've fallen in love with O.O

>>4

Mine was Haibane Renmei. So far It's still the best.

>>5

Agreed.

Love all the Work from ABe, but HR is the best

>>3
Man, I would KILL for some flapjacks right about now.

I like the style on this one. Searching for tfisher found an artist, but their work seems different and contained no other Lain/ABe stuff.

Any ideas on source?

You could just buy a hard copy.

Anon doesn't purchase anything, you know that.

Seriously, just go buy it; it's a huge full-cover book for something like $20.

Its a great book, and I agree its worth the buy...
I tried to get the spine cut off so I could scan it into my computer but FedEx Kinko's cut more than just the spine of the book off, rendering my copy close to useless.

Have the book, can't seem to get the pages to photograph and would damage the book to try and scan it properly....

So for the moment I'd suggest buying it. Worth it for any lain fan.

Sold in most bookstores as paperback... I personally have the Japanese hardback and there is no way I'm ruining that copy... (english version has a few extras anyway) but it really is worth the buy...

Oops. Anyway, they might be on the end of wizzu or AonE fansubs.

(my copy of 7 has mistranslated fansubs over it too)

Oh god I'm missing 6's too :(

Work continues even though I still don't have them ! ! !

By the way... maybe merge all art threads into one?

Isn't there supposed to be a confirmation code thing to prevent this?

There should be one... but I can't see such a thing around here :o

I'll ask Shii about it. T_T

Arg. Damned spammers.

i turned it off because they suck and I hate them
it's easier to fix it some other way

I'd volunteer for janitor duty or some such, if this board allows that.

> i turned it off because they suck and I hate them

GOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAAAA

done

Last time we had a janitor he deleted like half the posts on the board for some crazy reason, I think because he was getting sick of DUPLICATE FILE UPLOADED errors

4 pictures for each character

It's Hikari time!

ABechan is immortal. Just very, very slow waking up in the morning.

"Is that Rei?! "
yes )))

My copy of Gairo arrived today. It's truely a thing of beauty (A3 size, i.e. 29.7cm wide x 42cm high), but at first glance it's stuff we've already seen: I recognised some of the GoFA art, there's a full-page version of the Sui-Rin cover, and the rest of the picture credits at the back seem to be for doujinshi and the like.

But still, if Wani are planning to put out an ABe retrospective then I'm buying!

DMP of late seems to be pretty good about mirroring a lot of Wani's artbook releases here in the US. Maybe we'll get to see Gairo here if we express an interest...

I'm really new to this whole BBS thing. In fact this is the first BBS post I've ever made! Well, I figured, what better a place to do it than here?

I LOVE ABE YOSHITOSHI!!! I can't express that anymore than that. He's the greatest artist alive! And definitely my favorite artist of all! That said, I figure I belong here, right?

Sorry I don't have an image to share...

I was wondering if anyone will be working on translating this new Pochiyama doujin. If so I'm willing to help as I would very much like to see it.

Such an awesome place!

Welcome!

So far as I know, nobody has a copy of Pochiyama 2.0 yet. Or of anything else from this Comiket. This'll probably be the first place they show, though, if/when somebody does turn them up.

So I saw Gairo today at Kinokuniya. I was tempted to buy it, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It only had one or two images that really stood out, and the rest was stuff that I had seen before.

Was GoFA printed in such a large format, too? Because if it were...THAT would be the thing to buy. Oh man.

ABe, you magnificent bastard.

>>19 regarding >>2 and >>7, anyway.

Rakka looks so grown-up in these pictures...

wow. just wow.

>>2

someone have a high-res version of this?
