I wish either the translation teams had kept up with it or dark horse actually was releasing it (its been two years) cause I really like drifters and want to see where the story is at now.

There was a release two months ago? I assumed the problem was with Hirano who had scheduling problems with Hellsing too.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
The scanlation for Drifters is basically caught up with the actual releases, now, at chapter 61. The most recent Japanese chapter is 62, and that only came out in this month's (the November 2016 issue) Young King Ours.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



hello welcome to hiranos release schedule; its completely random

it was like this when hellsing was still going on too

Something about this manga keeps me reading, but I could not tell you what. I guess it does something for me, despite me having had my fill of Hellsing some time ago.

I hadn't heard of the manga but I love how Hirano's still doing "let's just put the character in shadow, show only one crazy eye, and a demented grin" with his scenes.

Please tell me that Douglas MacArthur is going to get pulled into history and completely gently caress poo poo up

The premise of this series is so fun and batshit someone needs to pitch a live action version of it to HBO as the replacement for Game of Thrones when it ends.

I dont give a gently caress about any of the five million japanese characters except for the main dude, nobunaga and the pilot

This show is good fun. I wish they had a little more variety for their psychopath faces though. There's only so many faces with giant smiles and bulging eyes one can be exposed to before it loses its effect.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Potentially stupid question: when the fantasy-folk talk, it sounds like it's reversed Japanese or something? Is it recognizably Japanese or are there subtitles for the show as it airs, or....?

I mean, for all I know it could be a regional accent, but I just speak English so I don't know and I'm curious.

It's nonsense language that uses Japanese phonemes mixed with some latin ones, they're speaking it phonetically.

Domestically it airs with subs for that dialogue, also for the op since the song is english.

We're already up to chappie 11, for instance, if you wanted to read along.

It'll probably end up somewhere around chappie 40-50 with 12 episodes.

I really did enjoy how the fighter pilot got a ptsd flashback of his town getting carpet bombed by american planes from the dragons setting the fortress ablaze. That seemed to be good enough motivation to want to want to kill a few dragon riders as a way to get revenge against an enemy you can't ever hope to defeat.

Though I am a little sad that Hirano decided to nerf his gunmen by making it so their bullet supply is hard to come by.

This eppie reminded me of something that got brought up in the comic but hasn't been explored yet, that even though its a bit obvious who the black king is supposed to be, he might just be lying.

Mainly because the level of tactics and strategy used by the black king army is very very advanced stuff, adaptions of modern arms and communication strategy that weren't used when any of the lieutenants were alive, so where'd that come from...

Deep in my heart when they were revealing the lieutenants I really wanted MacArthur as a comedy figure, even though I have an idea who you're hinting towards.

I imagine there's some later-century tacticians on the Dark King's side.

Hirano did a comment section once where someone straight up asked him if the Black King is who it is and he said "yup, but I can't actually call him by his name because a bunch of people would get really pissed :)"

Anastasia Romanov and Rasputin (I presume that's who that is) lived through most of WW1 though, you'd expect them to have heard of radios and airforces even if they weren't exactly military commanders.

And presumably, the Black King would be able to gather a few tacticians and strategists competent enough to make use of those two's testimony, even if they didn't have any personal familiarity with it.

It's just one throwaway line of one character questioning if he really is who he says he is, on account of the air rappelling troops bit, which implies it was his idea

The anime definitely won't cover it but it's an interesting idea that the comic might touch again in the future.
