I don't like this one that much actually....

Wow.

1 and 2 are down, will some one repost please?

The "v" isn't for "volume"; it's for "version". This was the third version of the scanlation of ABe's single-shot doujinshi called "White Rain." Sadly, there is nothing else to read aside from this one doujinshi.

One seed with upload rate of 0.000001 kb isn't cutting it.

Reseed, please.

Reseeding, both this and the ABe megatorrent for a little bit.

Could I get a seed for this? I missed it the first time. A RS or MU s fine too

I'll try, but I'm at university, so I don't know if Azureus will actually work.

Seeding. You should have it in short order.

So I was reading through my reprint edition of White Rain yesterday, and I noticed that some of the text looked funky. I freaked out, thinking I had bought a misprinted copy or something, or worse, that ABe had just messed up in the creation process somewhere and overlooked a somewhat conspicuous error. I checked my scans of the original release, and the same issue is there.

I thought for a while that this might have actually been done on purpose to give the text a strange feel, since at first I thought it only happened in the dream scene where 329 talks with the bug. However, it happens at least two other times, on pages 30 and 31.

These always make me laugh.

Has anyone seen this and if so, is it any good?

Tell me what "this" is and I may be able to help you.

Anyway, yes, Haibane Renmei is a fantastic series. Everyone should at least give it a chance.

And bump, for awesome artwork.

Any more high-res images like that?

(I don't care if the OP is 14 months old, I'm asking anyway.)

Dammit I keep messing up. Sorry guys!

As long as nobody has posted anything past your own post (like I'm doing now), you should be able to delete what you've posted by checking the box next to your post, scrolling all the way down, and clicking "delete."

The first one looks vaguely familiar; the second does not. They might be in the Omnipresence in Wired artbook (or in the reprint), though. Gimme a bit to search...

Aaand... nope. Neither of them in either book.

The internet never ceases to surprise me. Maybe those are from Visual Experiments Lain, but the only person who has that (that I know of) is Novastar, and Nova's not been about lately. I think. At least he's awfully quiet.

Yeah, it'd be nice if we could get some better-quality versions of those.

yeah i doublechecked the ABe artbook and can confirmm Bagles said.

im really interested in the photo to the left..

Here you go guys, sorry i haven't been around lately. Been enormously busy working full time and going to school full time.. was also recovering from surgery for awhile.

Found this image during my random hunts awhile back.. the filename is ab107j.jpg .. which leads me to believe it's an early beta pic before lain was boardcast from abe's online gallery and was taken down later.

Missing her asymmetry, I see.

speaking of hard to find, did the fansites ever finish translating the lain book (not art, but actual stories?)

oh! and a helpful link to said blog. just in case.

"I saw a guy at the store wearing his pants really low"

Then he goes on to imagine who started that trend with an American hip-hop guy having his pants fall down and shouting IT'S FASHION YO! FASHION.

So, uh, entirely not art-related.

Oh where did my name cookie go.

And for those who care, here's the text that's in the little trailers, which themselves have some nice images of Reki and others:

私は見た、
I saw it.
地獄の炎を。
The flames of hell.
私は行く。
I am going.
この世界を、
Through this world...
そして壁の外へも。
and outside the wall, as well.
あなたはこの戦いを、
It's better...
知らない方がいい。
if you don't know about this battle.
その事実を知った時、
If you knew the truth...
あなたの常識は崩壊する。
everything you know know would fall apart.
光と闇のエージェント。
An agent of light and darkness.
Guristan十ine

Well done. Sort of makes me wish the project would come to fruition with the original seiyuu.

Because of my spite for romanization...

haha oh wow

Can someone link to said "Old Home Bulletin Board" ?

>>13
it is full of anal-retentives
don't bother

>>14
One fan's anal-retentiveness is another fan's loving attention to detail.

Judging by a brief skimming of that thread...I'd say the members of OHBB overreacted. I don't know what Martin posted in the first place, but Wraith is a real stickler about not having any links to torrents on his forum. I've had one of my own posts deleted because I posted a link to a torrent.
