TMNT manga translations by Opentrain and TMNTEntity - Super Turtles Vol 2 released

[Cryomancer]

I never really made a central thread for this stuff so here it is. I run a translation group. We release TMNT stuff due to help from DrSpengler and oldmanwinters.

Latest release: TMNT 3 (CBB) Chapter 3: http://opentrain.theyear199x.org/?p=347

For previous releases, hit the TMNT tag: http://opentrain.theyear199x.org/?tag=tmnt

If you are interested in video games we also do weird game comics whenever possible, such as BR Megaman and German Club Nintendo.

Feel free to use this thread to discuss our releases, or what you might want done in the future, or even TMNT manga in general. Whatever makes this thread useful is fine by me.

[DrSpengler]

Woot.

When I get home from work, I'll update TMNT Entity with a news post and links to your page.

This one was... Erm. Weird. And kind of icky in places. You shippers should get a kick out of it.

Though I found his "sexy" drawings of April kind of repulsive cause the artist went with the "big-headed quasi-child" effect for her, and I just don't dig that.


Still, parts of it were amusing, though I'm really looking forward to the third volume the most, as it's a less truncated version of the OVA (very different in a lot of places and not a straight up adaptation).

Before that, though, there's a positively INSANE short from Comic Bom Bom that needs to be done.

The Shredder attacks the Turtles with a robot shark dressed like Indiana Jones, if you want a hint.

[gobo]

OoC, which came first: OVA or manga?

[DrSpengler]

They were both released the same year (96, I believe), so it would come down to a matter of month and the indicia doesn't include that info, I'm afraid.

[oldmanwinters]

Yup, that about sums it up.

I was thinking something was kinda off, I guess that explains (some) of the weirdness of the whole thing.

It's so awesome it really should become the next internet meme.

Looked up a little bit of info on the publishing date of Super Turtles #1, Mark.

It's Amazon Japan page (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%8 3%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BA-1%E2%80%95%E8%81%96%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B%E3%83%9F%E3% 83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E7%9F%B3%E3%81%AE%E8%AC%8E-%E9%9B%BB%E6%92%83%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%8 2%AF%E3%82%B9-EX-%E5%87%BA%E5%85%89/dp/4073029207/ref=reg_hu-wl_item-added) lists the publication date as July 1995. The first issue of the Dengeki Comic also appears to be copyrighted in 1995.

Super Turtles #2- September 1995 (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%8 3%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BA-2%E2%80%95%E3%83%9F%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%83%88%E3% 83%AB%E3%81%AE%E5%86%92%E9%99%BA%E3%81%AE%E5%B7%BB-%E9%9B%BB%E6%92%83%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%8 2%AF%E3%82%B9-%E5%87%BA%E5%85%89-%E7%A7%80%E5%8C%A1/dp/4073034790/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317142309&sr=1-2)
Super Turtles #3- October 1995 (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%91%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%8 3%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BA-3-%E9%9B%BB%E6%92%83%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%8 2%AF%E3%82%B9/dp/4073038125/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317142309&sr=1-1)

EDIT: Looks like the Shogagkukan TV book (http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%83%B3%E3%8 3%88%E3%83%BB%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB% E3%82%BA-9-%E5%B0%8F%E5%AD%A6%E9%A4%A8%E3%81%AE%E3%83%86%E3%8 3%AC%E3%83%93%E7%B5%B5%E6%9C%AC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA% E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA/dp/409113839X/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317142309&sr=1-8) that was based on the Super Turtles got a May 1995 release.

[DrSpengler]

Ah, then the manga came first.

According to the Japanese wiki article, the OVAs were released in 1996.

[Jester]

My favorite part is page 57....

Especially Spengler's notation: "I wish I was dead!"

[Cryomancer]

He only had to translate the page one time. oldmanwinters only had to scan it once or twice. Me? I had to crop it, straighten it, adjust contrast, clean the borders, clean the bubbles, and write all the new text in. 8(

Kind of a sad thing to share so much work on but...it must be done!!

[Jester]

You poor dear....:P

[oldmanwinters]

On a semi-related note, my Amazon Japan search for "Super Turtles" revealed listings for 3 books that I'd never heard of before:

With Google Translate:

"Capable of time travel "time Drome" is the invention of Kurange, Sprinter 連Re去Tta the teacher. It's bad. Turtles, they start to help the teacher."

All books appear to be published by Takeshobo in November, 1995 at 27 pages each. Sadly, they all appear to be unavailable.

[DrSpengler]

On a related note, now that the OITG's superior versions of the manga are available on convenient .cbr files, I've been considering deleting the crappy lettered-with-gimp pages from my site.

They're kind of embarassing, now, and though I spent a crap-load of hours making the links from page to page (suuuuuch a pain in the ass), I'd sooner have them gone than keep em.

[Abnormal Freak]

Downloaded, will get to reading these soon.

But more importantly, I'm interested in why Roll is naked on some of the covers to that Mega Man series. :D Downlooooaaaaadiiiiiing!

[Abnormal Freak]

Just a little complaint: I'm kinda bummered that The Shredder is referred to as Saki when in Japan they changed his name altogether to something more Japanese ("Saki" meaning pretty flower or something like that and not really a name you'd give to a boy). I kinda wish that had been retained. Just nitpicking. :p

[Cryomancer]

She's naked on some of the covers, because she's naked most of the time in the comic itself. Enjoy the shiny metal nipples and robo-panties.

I kinda wish that had been retained. Just nitpicking. :p

That's all DrSpengler's decision. I argued for keeping SAWAKI-CHAN~ for pure comedy value, but he had his reasons. Maybe someday I'll do an "editor's cut" full of dumb stuff like that for laughs.

[Abnormal Freak]

I like it when Krang annoys Shredder by calling him Sawaki-chan in the OVAs, so yeah, I was hoping all that would be retained here. :p

Still awesome either way. Again, it's nitpicking.

[Cryomancer]

When you come to a panel with Saki, just read it as Sawaki-chan, out loud, at high volume. I'm sure everyone around you will appreciate it too.

[DrSpengler]

I use the same mindset for my TMNT translations as I do for my Transformers translations.

This is an English language version so I use the English language names (Saki over Sawaki, Optimus Prime over Convoy, etc).

I don't much care for "TV Nihon" style translation, either; leaving in stuff like honorifics and slang untranslated.


Dat's how I roll, yo.

[Cryomancer]

Yeah I'm sure every single time an honorific comes up it would be a long name and a tall, skinny bubble too, so I'm certainly not going to cry over not having to deal with "Donatello-san" forcing me to use a cramped font all the time.

Sometimes I do totally wish I could be using "henshin" instead of "transform" though. But I am a Kamen Rider fan too so I'm probably just biased there (it sounds cooler, damnit).

(also i meant no anger or offense in my comments about your translation style, if any was taken, just wanted to clarify the situation)

[Luzmagica]

Thanks a lot............. :tgrin::tcool: :thyper:

Hope to post comments soon!!! (downloading so slowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...)
:D


Thanks for share!!!!!!!!!! :twink:

[azrael]

are these cbr or jpegs?

[wilddiverse]

CBR which is just a RAR archive of jpegs renamed for comics reader programs.

[Cryomancer]

CBRs with either JPGs or PNGs inside, yes. There are various comic book reader programs out there, or you can open them with winrar or 7zip or whatever you use and extract them. You can also rename the file from <name>.cbr to <name>.rar and extract from there if you'd prefer.

[DrSpengler]

Okay, TMNT Entity (http://www.tmntentity.blogspot.com) is going on another manga-related hiatus as I complete translations of Super Turtles Vol. 3, the final volume in the series.

It's a bit tougher than I was anticipating; 11 pages in and already Krang and Shredder are having lengthy pun-related conversations and those are a PAIN IN THE NECK to try and translate (not literally, but rather, come up with equivacal stupid jokes).

Still, I'm thinking under a month and I'll have it done (gotta full time job and college classes going on, too). Then it'll be off to Cryomancer for lettering.


And in case you missed the earlier releases, they're available on Mediafire so the Megaupload apocalypse didn't lose them forever or anything.

[Cryomancer]

Bumping this up as Super Turtles vol 3 is finally out!

http://opentrain.199xchan.org/?p=242



Can we not actually edit thread titles? I did the "go advanced" and all that but it's still saying Volume 2 on my end.

[DrSpengler]

The delay on this one was a little embarassing, but finishing my degree and then moving cross country set me back some unfortuante months.

I'm glad to finally have the complete Super Turtles Trilogy done with, though, and I want to thank Cryomancer and Adam Winters for making it possible. The translation is the EASY part. It's the scanning and editing that are the REAL pain in the ass.


It might not be for a while, but I would like to tackle the Comic Bom Bom adaptation of TMNT III next. That thing is just BONKERS.

Spengs, I actually sent James Eatock an email today letting him know that you guys finished the project. I'm not sure if he'll be able to update his article at this point, but the Super Turtles article isn't scheduled to come out until issue #10 and he hasn't even finished issue #9 yet. So there is at least a chance he might be willing to read it and make some updates.

Oh helllll yeah. Downloaded. Thanks for your efforts once again!

[gobo]

For folks having a hard time downloading from mediafire, use a download manager like GetRight. I waited an hour for IE to download 20% of Part 1 of the complete Gaiden. Then, I used GetRight's segmented downloading function, and it went from 0 to 100% in less than 10 minutes. That "Mega" site wouldn't even load for me. :ohwell:

[Powder]

I waited an hour for IE

There's your problem.

[oldmanwinters]

Man, this thread needs a title change or something! It's still listing Super Turtles #2!

I'm very happy to see these manga books I bought a while back finally getting exposure for the internet Turtle fanbase to experience!

There's your problem.

Heh, yeah, it's been a long time since any download has taken me over 5 minutes. Waiting over an hour for the full Gaiden download sounds a little crazy!

[Cryomancer]

I change the thread title every time I update, but it never seems to actually propagate to the thread listing. Dunno what's up with that.

And yeah guys give me opinions on file hosts. I have also been trying to use filecloud, but the uploader there only works about 1 in 20 times so it's pretty crap on my end at least.

I have come to appreciate the value of a free Dropbox account. It comes in real handy for all my purposes.

IMO, you sshould have a separate thread for each release so nobody gets confused about "where did their other thread go?"

[Cryomancer]

If there was a lot of discussion for every individual release, sure. But people aren't exactly talking their heads off about them, so this seems fine to me.


I would bug a mod about the thread title, but then I'd have to do it every time. Maybe I'll get them to take out the release part though.

Dying for more, any chance that's coming soon?

[DrSpengler]

Chapter 2 went up a few weeks ago. OITG's webpage seems to be having some trouble at the moment, though.

Started a little late on Chapter 3, but I'll breeze through it pretty quick, and then it'll be off to Cryomancer for image editing.

[Powder]

Worrrrrd. Thankfully someone was able to send me vol. 2 in a PM. Looking forward to the next one! :)

[TheCanadiandrome]

Can't wait for more

[Cryomancer]

Yeah sorry for the downtime lately, the site is going through a changing of hands as far as who owns the server and host and all that and the new guys aren't the best at communicating with each other and whatnot. So it tends to break and stay broken for awhile.

Hopefully this will be a temporary thing.

[TheCanadiandrome]

I wonder if any new manga featuring the Nick toon will be released? That'd be sweet

[Powder]

Highly doubt it, personally. We're getting Manga sized storybooks in the US, though. Art by Patrick Spaziante. They're episode adaptions, but still nice to look at.

Yeeeeeeah. http://www.amazon.com/Green-Teenage-Mutant-Turtles-Reading/dp/0307980707 This and pretty much all the reccomended/related books are episode adaptions done by Spaz. They're dope.
Pass on the Mutant Origin books, though. They feature the exact same art as the first book, but it's divided between the two of them and is in black & white. Same text too, I think. I bought 'em and returned 'em upon realizing that.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Cool I have that one

Finally have a new release, Chapter 3 of Comic Bom Bom's TMNT 3 manga.

Awesome, thanks! I think I'll give 'em a read shortly. :)

Just about the only TMNT content that doesn't get wiped from You Tube by Viacom or Lion's Gate (https://youtu.be/fL7UefNuvX8).

Probably because nobody is sure who owns the things anymore.

Are there any other notable TMNT products of questionable ownership.

We know pretty much everything except for the Fred Wolf cartoon and the movies belong to Viacom.

[DrSpengler]

Well, that was mostly in jest. I'm sure Viacom owns it, since screencaps showed up in Turtles Forever; so at the time, at least, Mirage knew they owned it.

Viacom may just not be aware they own something so obscure or simply don't care enough about such a small thing to bother defending it.

But didn't some images of the live-action film and Next Mutation TV show costumes show up on the boards too. Mirage/4Kids didn't own those at the time, but might have at least had permission to use them. Or maybe they just didn't think anybody would notice/care?

Next Mutation definitely wasn't in the Turtles Forever multiverse montage.

The live action movie images may have been used with permission, or maybe Mirage owned some still images at the time or something; I dunno.

[slashpieturtlemix]

I am downloading these tonight and I am going to have an awesome weekend :)

[John Pannozzi]

Dan Berger told me that Mirage didn't own the TMNT manga or anime, or the characters originating from them.

I assume Takara (now TomyTakara), Bee Media, Ashi Productions, and Nippon Columbia (who produced the TMNT anime), and/or the publishers and/or writers/artists of the various manga own them.

[Cryomancer]

That's interesting. I suppose there aren't really a whole lot of new characters in most of the manga, only ones coming to mind for me right now are Kris-Mu(however you wanna spell that one), Dark Mu, and Iron and Silver from this current manga we're doing. The turtles get costumes or new forms or whatever but it's mostly still the same cast.

There are a couple other TMNT short comics by Mikaeru Haato that Adam's dug up, and we may get to those sometime in the future. They're almost entirely pun-based, though, so that'll be a brutal translation job.

Hope everyone enjoyed the series!

I'd still like to do those Super Turtles toy comics if we ever figure out how many of those there are. Even though they'll be a pain in the ass edit wise!

[oldmanwinters]

There's so many random little Japanese TMNT books out there. It's hard to know exactly how many comic strips were made since they seem to be spread across so many different publishers and were used for different purposes like video game or action figure tie-ins.

I'd really like to see the current one translated too, but I can't even find any of the raws. :(

CBB TMNT III Chapter 6 is out, thus completing this manga http://opentrain.theyear199x.org/?p=423

I'm gonna do a full volume release at some point but not super soon. Enjoy!

Awesome!

Hmm I might have what you're looking for. If you maybe have pics?

Yeah, it runs in Corocoro Ichiban, started in May of last year I believe. Not sure how many issues feature it but it's at least 3-4.

The first part was scanned/translated but none of the rest has been put online as far as I can tell/find.

Ok no I don't have that, but damn I wish I did

[Cryomancer]

What do you have? might still be worth checking in to.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Check out my collection page or my Flickr page. I've got pics of some manga stuff there

[Cryomancer]

I see some of the things we've done in there, neat. Never seen those toy comics before, somewhat interesting.

I also enjoy seeing pages from the Japanese action figure comics. I think those might have been called "fumetti."

[TheCanadiandrome]

well if you'd like to use the pics to possibly translate guys go right ahead. i've love to be able to scan the images and send either one of you a zip file but sadly i can't. but man i'd love to track down some of Corocoro Ichiban

[Cryomancer]

This short is great. I love the look of the Shredder, really Mirage-like.
Downloaded immediately.

I have to browse your website to see what more you have to offer :tgrin:.

Thanks!

Try the releases tab up top to see (roughly, sometimes I forget to add stuff) everything released. Or you can click the tags on the right side if you just want TMNT for example.

[DrSpengler]

Though it goes without saying, if anybody has any more of those 2003 toyline pack-in comics, send a scan our way and we'll translate them!

[myconius]

thank you all for sharing these links!! :D

[Powder]

Is there any chance you guys can find scans of Mutant Turtles: Ore-Tacha Kame Na Yo Ningumi from Corocoro Ichiban?

Haha, you lost me with that one, and I google Japanese TMNT stuff quite frequently! :tlol:

EDIT: Oh, you meant this...

Most of the translation raw materials come from items I'm able to purchase and scan from my personal collection. I've focused upon 1990s-era publications almost exclusively because I have a better handle on what stuff existed during that era. I know there's at least a couple other Drome members who collect the Jap books too, but so far they haven't been able to make many scans of rare items in their collections.

Yo, Happy Easter, have a unintentionally? kinda creepy activity book.

I think the kinda creepy factor owes much the generic, bootleg-like nature of the illustrations and activities!

I downloaded all of the mangas, and none of them work :tconfuse:
