Nice to see that this wonder made it through the massacre intact.

It was already a struggle when we didn't get updates at all,but it seems the new wind of these high seas has overcome Hell,high water,and even Davy Jones' Gym Locker.

I just still hope we get a new 3D animated adaptation that actually faithfully follows the wild story that took this long to reach.

The official TL itself died long ago.

I know many of the struck series don't even have an official TL, but kind of tells you where the publisher priorities are with this series. It may remain mildly popular with a cult following in Japan, but outside Japan the business potential is probably not even worth them doing even the most minimal of litigation.

Maruri going on a country tour with her posse.

Vampire is still the best, I love that she has bats in her little hairbums covers.

Good ol' intrigue... you can never make heads or tails of why these people are planning against each other when the world in literal disarray.

You didn't know,did you?

This was part of Crunchyrolls' translated comics,who ended ALL their comic translation services on the 11th of December,2023.

And guess which former pirate turned worst US monopoly that's badly run is still sitting on those IPs?...

It's not even an issue on which series was a big time money maker at that point.

As this point,though,it depends on the four major companies,which apparently none have AOBS in their clutches.

I know full well. I never bothered with CR's shitty service except for the first few chapters they did. I bought all of Seven Seas volumes, even though I also load up the latest jp tanks every time I vist Japan.

As far as I'm concerned, the official TL died with seven seas, and the fact that shonengaho licensed it to CR served as proof it was basically being flushed into the toilet.

There is a very long and thorny history of translation for this series both among fan scanlators, of which I was one for a time, and official ones.

Those are some very emotional robots. But in this series, it's not that strange.

It's a bit strange for her to mention that they can work non-stop, since it would be natural and obvious for them, and they're not telling humans about it.

Vampire still dependable.

So much scheming.

It's not about priorities whatsoever. The publisher of AoBS is Shonen Gahosha, who simply didn't participate in this Piracy Crusade™ with other big corps. They're a small publisher with not many popular titles, so they either don't care, don't want to spare the extra effort, or understand that they're not in position to act like a jerk.

I assume Crunchyroll being jerks themselves did not help.

I don't understand how you have literally described the publisher having other priorities, then say its not about priorities. And I did mention which publisher the series is under. I also literally mentioned the publisher.

Whatever. The official TL is dead, this series is still fan translated. That's all I'm pointing out. I didn't say it so I can get 'corrected' by clowns furiously regurgitating their google search and using semantics to me when I've been supporting and following this series since day 1.
