The 5th volume is coming out tomorrow, September 22nd, but comparisons have already started popping up. They fixed the episode 13 yaranaika face… but it does look much better now. Also Chuckman’s moe eyes were fixed and the word is they’ve added blood to some scenes. Just a few comparisons so far but I’ll add more if/when I find them.
Translated tidbits from the Newtype booklet
A kind anon on /a/ was translating snippets from the booklet that came with the October issue of Newtype magazine. (I’ve not had time to look at magazines – they’re still where I put them after I leafed through them the day they arrived.)
- The hotblooded aspect of Kotetsu’s personality was created to complement and contrast Barnaby’s nature.
- Hundred Power was created because of the idea that he would prefer a hands on approach.
- Kotetsu loves fried rice, so that’s why he doesn’t bother learning to cook anything else.
- Nishida’s favorite Kotetsu scene is when he “healed up” and hurried to Barnaby in ep13, while him searching for Kaede with super-hearing in ep17 is second.
