Episode of Bardock: Giant On-Going Manga + Anime Discussion

Well to have the right programms for something like this is probably the hardest part. I doubt anybody would want to use Paint for this job and not everybody can use Photoshop (or whatever other tools are out there)

There is no need to "have the right programs". I use paint for all typesetting, and only bust out Photoshop if I need to redraw something. Seeing how the scans are all fairly low quality, using a simple program like Paint isn't that bad for what would inevitably be a LQ release.The current pages would require more work than would be worth the effort to make them any better...almost all the efforts I've seen attempting this have completely screwed over most of the finer details. If the scans were usable for a HQ release, I'd change my tune, but for now anyone could make an LQ version until/if we get better scans.

Well, I tried using Paint once for adding text to one my comics and it was a pain. It really is a lot more time consuming than Photoshop.

For stuff like this if you don't have/like Photoshop, I recommend Paint.NET or GIMP. Both are free and are way better than Paint. They're also easier to use than Photoshop.

Its personal opinions, but I have to disagree. lol Paint allows me easy manipulation of everything right on the screen. Text box size, placement, the text toolbar can all be played with within inches of each other if desired, while in Photoshop, it feels like I have to jump all over the window and do 15 things before I can alter what I want. Its probably personal bias from only having Paint for years and years, but it just feels easier...though for drawing, that's an entirely different story. lol

That's matter of how much are you used to working with it. I'm using it at work and it doesn't seems this bad and complicated.
If you will learn keyboard shortcusts, you will be even faster.

When it goes to graphics, I prefer Adobe.

I guess I should ask, is it possible there's some significance to how the way Freeza destroys the planet and his interaction with Bardock is different from how it is in the TV Special? In particular, it seems Bardock's caught in a surprise ambush of sorts, as opposed to how in the TV special his prophetic visions and Dodoria basically mouthing off everything Freeza himself said at the start about mid-way into the special drive him to try to fight Freeza's army solo and attempt to save the future.

.. and after 2 Hours, edited Chapter 2 ... ready now ^^



again, zipped all jpg´s together:

Thanks oldboy88. Now I can get into the story without switching back and forth between the translation and the scans.


So, it appears that Chilled either did not recognize Freeza, or Freeza does not exist in that universe (Where are we, DBM ?!), or at least, Freeza did not exist at that time.

And LOL at Tsundere Bardock! "It's not like I meant to save you or anything. BAKA!!"

[Fox666]

Thank you oldboy88! However you put effort in choosing the worst possible image host

[DNA]

Rereboy already did chapter one, he should be done with chapter two soon.

I'm wondering, is this actualy a sequel or a what-if... The events at the start are so different, Bardock's armor is not damaged, Zarbon and Dodoria are out there, Bardock doesn't atack Freeza, a completely different conversetion happens and Freeza uses a different attack to destroy Planet Vegeta. I'm a little bit confused

The issue of V-Jump that the special debuted in described it as a sequel, but there do seem to have been some retcons...take that as you will.

[fps_anth]

Thanks for the scanlations oldboy!

[DNA]

I'm hoping she'll make an adaptation of the special, especially because it would explain these little retcons, kinda like the Trunks special.

Maybe in the final issue a twist or something will happen and conect them... I don't know...

[Super Sayian Prime]

Wouldn't it be funny if Bardock was just dead and this was his purgatory to be haunted by Freeza clones?

[sangofe]

Thanks for the scanlations, while Ooshi's not as good as Toriyama, this is still enjoyable and feels like Dragonball

[nathantheguitarist]

The hell? Selypa with long spiky hair?

I... I can't accept this as canon now. Alternate universe it is!
