Lol can't wait until the A-levels are finished in early December. For some reason, I can't wait to scanlate HQ-scans of Toriko and more US/UK. I find it fun and satisfying to be able to contribute back to the communities who has given me so many awesome things.
I sometimes scanlate small little things (okay, not really), mostly LQ-MQ scans and turn them HQ-ish with some editing. I remember the first one I did was the whole fifth volume of Fullmetal Alchemist. That took quite some time haha. And I didn't share them because I thought I should just keep it to myself (not out of egoism). See, I always find it more comfortable working alone, so I live and do stuff by my own rules. I guess now I'm coming out of my hikkikomori shell a bit. I still love being alone, though.
The reason why I do this, as well as why I oppose watermarks so strongly (unless they're kinda tiny and not glaringly obvious), is simply because the mangaka/doujinka has put so much effort in creating the manga/doujinshi. It is a way to respect them. Besides, me being the nitpicky perfectionist bugger that I am, I just can't stand it.
I really admire groups/people who do HQ scans from weekly magazine raws. It's like polishing a diamond in the rough until they shine brilliantly. Like Mangastream and ShinraTensei, you guys rock. And those groups who spend money getting HQ raws, even to the point of unbinding the book itself waaaaa. Storm in Heaven and Bliss take the cake.
Need to study more kanji! haha :)
