Thread: 284 Discussion/ 285 prediction

East Berlin?
As in "possibly part of the Soviet Union cold war effort?"
We talked about how the katastrophe timer would start towards the moon landing period, but there's the wider cold war context to think about...

-Genau... das geht nicht
Exactly... That's impossible

-Das ist gegen die Abmachung
That's against the agreement

-Das Geld bekommen sie natürlich zurück
Of course, You will get your money returned,

-Ich werde ihnen das doppelte zahlen
I will double the payment

-nein, keine chance
No, no chance at all.

-Machen sie keine Klang
Don't make any noise. (kinda poor german here, I would've used another word for Klang = sound, e.g. Geräusch or smth)

-Sie machen vielleicht das Foto, aber machen den Klang nicht
(the second part after Foto is difficult, or better to say retarded to translate)

You perhaps take the picture, But...
a) don't make any noise (which i Think he means) or
b) don't make that sound (of the camera taking a picture?)


Anyway as you can easily guess: the chapter is mainly about the reporter meeting his contact in germany and having some trouble with another contact who should get them to the gantz factory.

Lets wait for NJT and Hiss, because the first german guy,he meets, seems to translate everything for Kikuchi or w/e his name is.

^ Thanks, didn't have time to translate...

Beside that 'Klang' isn't good german for 'noise' (better: Geräusch), Oku made an uber-pro job with this. I wonder if he went to Germany in the hiatus between Phase 1 and and 2 and shot these Berlin pictures by himself...

It looks like one of these old chemical combines build in the 20's/ 30's and quite derelict... There is no heavy-industry left in Berlin today...

^It looks like Oku used google translator there. I tryed to translate it in the most logical context:''be quiet or we might get noticed''.

Because ''keinen klang'' is singular, what specific chink/clang/clank/sound could he possible mean? Thats why I thought, that oku screwed up there.

A lot of people have been waiting for this moment. Finally, Gantz has a plot.

Best cover girl shot of Reika yet.

@ Bobo & Mort: Thanks for the translation and remarks!

Silly wondering: are the mini-balls produced in the same factory? Inside the mini-balls do we find a little bird? The weapons should be produced elsewhere? Damn it, I really would like to see the place where the aliens are sent...

A bit off-topic: I noticed there are four digits to number it chapter, so I got all happy and thought "yay, we'll have at least 1000 chapters!", then me and my bro made the calculations and it'd take about thirty ears, with the usual pace. And that's like "no". T-T

Yes, but the rest of the german is good. 'Klang' is more 'musical', that's the only fault. And of course he used photographs and converted them, but he kept all those german brand names in it...

No... It's not Reika...

And the Gantz ball is build in a german factory, but we still don''t have any answers...

Now we only know that Gantz is of human origin...
The rest is still a mystery, or does anyone think humans came up with this kind of technology themselves?
Translation from Hiss and njt are out on MH...

EDIT: And FH just finished scanlating: Gantz 284 by Franky House

Wow. First we don't get any spoiler at all and now Gantz comes out wednesday... Strange Days...

Ok Oku's gone crazy or is experimenting with LSD. Is that fat dude Michael Moore? I think so. Those darn German engineers

wat

Oku better know where he's heading to. That's all I can say about this chapter.

Oh, yeah, I haven't posted in a while, so hi.

800€ are nothing for an engineer... He's prolly just a low-paid security or janitor guard...
I hope to see more of this in the next chapter and not just this little episode... The german Gantz team should be the first, I guess.

Lolz on sebastian... Asking for moe anime...
Most weaboos here are emo girls...
