Digital release conflict news

Apparently I fucked up this line. Sorry about that. Grab this image and add it to your archive.
Mere hours after I posted volumes 27 and 28, VlZ went and announced they were releasing part 3 digitally. This is good news because English JoJo and bad news because a) I don't want to waste a ton of time doing work professionals already are and b) supporting localized JoJo is great blah blah etc. So unless this digital campaign fails to launch or is discontinued somewhere down the line, I may not be doing part 3 scans. Maybe just a couple scans of the censored pages.


Despite this, I have serious doubts that this digital release will ever be successful enough to get us up to part 6. Even if it does, it'll take them ages. So I'm still going ahead with redoing the first three volumes of part 6.
ONCE AGAIN I'D LIKE TO IMPLORE THE INTERNET TO TELL ME WHAT TRANSLATION FIXES NEED TO BE MADE TO THESE VOLUMES, because I'm not a translator, do not have a translator, and am going to be going off of the old scans for dialogue. As it's been proven to me that they occasionally miss great lines ("This is the greatest high!" and the aforementioned icicle bit).

Volumes 27 and 28


So while Anonscans is (hopefully) still chugging away at part 3, I thought I'd take some weight off and begin working backwards from the end.
Volume 27
Volume 28
Apologies for 28. It's much better than what we had, but the raws weren't great. Two pages were missing, so those are shitty looking upscales of the previous versions.

WHAT'S NEXT
Part 6! It feels wrong fixing part 3 when 6 got so screwed over by CC2 in ASB, so I'll be redirecting the attention where it should be out of spite. I'm going to be (slowly) working through fixing the first three volumes. After that, it's back to part 3 if I don't get shut down hard by the powers that be.

WHAT I NEED
According to the internet, there are all kinds of translation errors in early part 6? Let me know in the comments what needs fixing because I can't translate at all and am mostly using the preexisting scans for text.

Death to Watermarks

Fuck watermarks. Here's a big jumbly mess of pages with the watermarks removed.  Sort appropriately into your collection. Includes the formerly vandalized material from parts 1-3, and 7.


The worst offender was the pilot chapter of SBR, so I had to completely redo that. Download here and be sure to grab the image above, because the version in the archive still has a watermark.

Village of Millionaires



Was getting sick of this one shot being left to rot, so I grabbed the French scans, did some shoddy cleaning and joining and slapped a translation I found onto it. Have fun.
