Even assuming there were scans, 1) The series is not the easiest to translate - why do you think each Viz volume has copious liner notes, and 2) Sales of ES are bad enough as it is without scans screwing things up.  Do you want Excel Saga to be culled now that Viz actually *are* cancelling some titles (Kurohime, Shana)?

rage if you wish, disagree if you wish, i couldnt care less tbqh. Fact of the matter is, I am not rebuying any of my manga that was thrown away. and i cant remember where i left off, but i believe volume 8 was my last bought volume of excel saga. not entirely sure though.

I mean that I HAVE the Japanese scans...



...but my conscience hurts.

thats great and all, for you and your conscience, but unless someones willing to do the effort of translating for me, then im not entirely too interested. i dont like spoiling the small amount i can understand of the series. I'll probably never be able to continue the story anymore, but it was worth an effort to try and find some form of scans. I miss excel saga.

That's awful! How did that happen?

Scanlations only exist for the first three volumes, by the way. They're absolutely terrible and also incredibly easy to find if you know where to look.

eh, its a long story
they also threw away my boxset of the anime

and theres actually 4 volumes of scans that i can find easily online. the first 4.
i wasnt aware of the 8th however

Scanlations of ES been popping up on /a/ quite a bit lately. And I don't go there very often to know the extent of it.

I assume /a/ has something to do with 4chan.
I dont really go there either unless someone links me to a picture.

btw, who turned you into the melty blood fan?

One day they'd be selling the e-books for the first time, the next day the e-books would turn up on RapidShare. They should just do a limited re-release (maybe 200-500 copies) of the out of print volumes. At this point, that would cover just about anyone who wants to get into the series but can't.

this would be a poor idea on their part, i'll be the first to admit i'd be pirating it all

We're lucky we're even seeing any releases after volume 21 to begin with...

True.This is why Carl is our lord and master.
It's because of his influence coupled together by this very forum of dedicated fans (Yep, we really are THAT important here! ) that keeps the ball rolling with the english publication. We owe a lot to both Carl and Viz... They continue to allow ES to persevere despite the odds which have made other language manga cease publication of the series.

I assume /a/ has something to do with 4chan.

You assume correctly, grasshopper.

btw, who turned you into the melty blood fan?

lol! Not so much Melty Blood specificly. It's moreso my liking of TYPE-MOON characters.

as scanlations go I wouldn't do it, not now anyway as both Japan and the United States have changed their copyright laws making that sort of thing illegal. One manga and Manga Helpers are both gone because of it and I think Manga Fox is still up but won't be focussing on mainstream stuff, only stuff from Japan I think or not I dunno.

manga fox is still up, they only remove things when requested to do so.
from now on you have to download directly from the scanlators websites, once these sites go down.
or have a friend scan stuff for you, but idk if any of you are really willing to do that lulz
