Strays

My Balls 26

Here’s that chapter thingy. Future chapters will be out when they’re done.

DDL

Those elyse figures I mentioned a long-ass time ago:

edit: hey dumbass, it’s not a hijack if you’re more than a chapter ahead.


Because I still have no cleaners and as of recently have no real motivation to clean I’m going to drop back to the tankos, so don’t expect chapters for a really long time. Series that I am not cleaning are not affected (kot, jackals) and will be continued as normal. Jackals is on hold because we have no translator. KoT is on hold because I had a variety of problems but there will probably be a new chapter soon here. Vagabond depends on someone typesetting it but there’s a bunch of chapters cleaned (not that it matters at this point.)

  11. suiton June 11th, 2009 8:03 pm

  12. jeb June 11th, 2009 10:46 pm

  14. DrSmooth June 12th, 2009 12:02 am

    whatwhatwhat!!!!… a release… I think I just shed a tear! I knew I didn’t need to delete this link!

  15. kakashi June 12th, 2009 2:00 am

    thank you strays…!

  16. Agua June 12th, 2009 9:35 am

    Glad to see you´re alive! Thanks!

  17. The Wolfkin June 12th, 2009 9:59 am

    of course I’ve been reading the others translations. i don’t think even strays would expect us to not read other translations in light of how long they’ve been ’stuck’, but if you guys are back on some sort of a schedule again. I will of course be reading your stuff. In all likely hood I’ll probably keep reading FH until you catch up.

    Glad to see the return though can’t wait to read the rest of your stuff.

  18. Loki June 12th, 2009 10:47 am

    My Balls sucks, I want KoT.

  19. Photis June 14th, 2009 4:56 am

    Thanks a lot.

  20. Mencius June 14th, 2009 1:27 pm

    Hey Honda (if you see this), I was recently watching Cheech and Chong: Up in Smoke, and I heard “This is Toyota Kawasaki here…” and when I looked over lo and behold, ’twas a reporter! My ears may have deceived me, but still, I thought that was pretty coincidental

  21. Honda T. Kawasaki June 14th, 2009 7:35 pm

    LOL! You know it has been a few years since I seen either Up in Smoke or Kentucky Fryed Movie. They only came out a few years a part and my aging (you wouldn’t believe how old I am) magna numbed brain for whatever reason remebered the news reporters first name as Honda instead of Toyota.
    The same brain fart attribuited the scene to the KF Movie instead of Up In Smoke.

    Now I have to go and rent both to see how much I have for got.
    It will kill some time till the next My Balls comes out.

    Thanks for 26 Strays the wife is glad to have My Balls back in her hands once again.

  22. merchant June 15th, 2009 2:15 pm

    Does Franky House suck at scanslating? If not, you could have a chance to work on Companion instead.

  23. DrSmooth June 17th, 2009 8:10 pm

    Franky House does not suck… check em out, they do good wok on several series. I prefer to get My Balls here though. Maybe Strays can scanlate the current chapters while catching up? Just a suggestion

  24. Malekit June 18th, 2009 8:08 am

    OMFGIMONFIRE!!!11!ONEONEONE!

    SHIT MAN I WAS GONNA SUNK INTO A HOLE BUT NO MORE!!!!
    THXS THXS THXS THXS!!! FOR GETTING MORE BALLS!!!

  25. The Wolfkin June 19th, 2009 9:15 am

    i wish i could help out but while i have decent cleaning skills i have zero redrawing skills

  26. suiton June 19th, 2009 10:09 am

    @The Wolfkin
    Any abilities in scanlation is better than nothing.

    Go to the IRC channel and try signing up to be a cleaner.

  27. fuck jeb June 20th, 2009 11:22 am

    “yes 31 is out, with chapter 32 coming out in a day or so, sorry strays, but Franky House, stole me away…”

    So you like shit sandwiches then? enjoy your shitty lq releases. franky house is one of the worst groups now. back when they didnt jack releases and only did 1 or 2 series they were alright. now they are just scummy speed scanners

  28. suiton June 20th, 2009 12:54 pm

    Don’t get so upset. It’s really his/her choice to read scanlations from whatever group.

    To be honest, I’ve read up to whatever FrankyHouse released so far as well, but I’m getting the strays version as the “archive” version (I re-read the chapters whenever strays releases them).

    I’m glad that strays is working on this series and is doing such a great job.

    Anyway~

    :: goes back to counting how many days it takes for the next Ore Tama release by strays ::

  29. Sinistar June 21st, 2009 4:42 am

    Yay, strays live!

    I was thinking about leaving a “support” comment on previous entry, but then I came and saw the new release! Huzzah! \°o°/

    I could probably get my balls elsewhere, but I prefer strays. So, thank you for this and every future and past release. Good work.^^

  30. Sinistar June 21st, 2009 5:04 am

    Also, this chapter was too funny to fap.

  31. Mencius June 23rd, 2009 8:24 pm

    Hopefully this isn’t considered spam, but wouldn’t it be pretty cool to see strays fansub anime?
    I don’t wanna seem like I want to push strays into doing it, I just thought it would be cool… Anybody else had that thought?

  32. nirv June 23rd, 2009 9:12 pm

    no, lol. they do manga, not anime.

  33. zindryr June 26th, 2009 8:38 pm

    Strays may not do anime, but I do sometimes.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsoaHMOp5uM

    It’s pretty good.

  34. Watashiwa7 June 28th, 2009 7:00 pm

    Thanks, thanks, thanks! ^^

  35. Tynar July 3rd, 2009 11:50 am

    lol zindryr

    good stuff

  36. Mencius July 3rd, 2009 5:35 pm

    Well, zindryr, good job. It seemed pretty well put in, easily read subtitles, and it wasn’t completely illiterate like some anime subbers like to be, i.e. “Look out, she coming!”
    Only one thing bad, and I don’t wish to seem mean/angered, but the sound is kinda off. Once you fix that, you’ll actually be among my favorite fansubbers, no lie
    Keep up the good work, strays and zindryr!

  37. suiton July 5th, 2009 6:39 am

    oh wow. it’s almost been another full month since we got this chapter..

    >_<

  38. Honda T. Kawasaki July 7th, 2009 5:28 am

    This is a little off topic but so are about half my post right? I want to congratulate Strays for having one of the most uncluttered sites that I have as favorites.
    It has no flashy animations, images, or other crap that cause it to load slow.
    Especially for someone like myself who does a lot of my net surfing on my cell phone.
    I click Strays in my favorites and “BAM!” it is loaded in a second or two on my phone.
    Other magna sites take decades to load just their crappy animated logo.
    Also a real big thanks for having DDL as the means to get files and not some third party Rapidshare type pain in the butt.

  39. Mencius July 15th, 2009 2:20 pm

    Hey strays staff/Not_Log, I’ve just got a quick question.
    How’s the work on the new chapter going?

  40. suiton July 16th, 2009 3:04 pm

    it’ll be out when it’s done.

    just wait

  41. anonymouse July 16th, 2009 5:20 pm

    Thank you guys so much!! awesome.

  42. Honda T. Kawasaki July 17th, 2009 5:51 am

    So in general Stray’s uses the military policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” when it comes to releases.

  43. suiton July 17th, 2009 9:28 pm

    @Tynar
    Or how about you “URUSAI~!” if you’re not gonna help them scanlate the chapters.

    >_>

    EPIC FAIL POST

  44. Loki July 18th, 2009 12:24 am

    “Now we get nothing but the occasional “it’ll be out when it’s done”. That sort of shit statement might fly when you are a few days behind schedule… but this is ridiculous.”

    Are you implying scanlators have some kind of obligation towards the leechers?

    Wait, let me get ready…

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  46. nirv July 18th, 2009 8:05 pm

    To all.

    I am willing to wait for strays releases, the only time I would want a notice is if they dropped the series all together. They haven’t said that so that’s good. I don’t mind waiting for strays because I read their copies for the quality in the cleaning and the translations for it. If I wanted to read a rushed job I would go to FH forums and download them now. So if you have complaints on the speed of it then just stop posting about it, it ain’t gonna change anything.

  47. suiton July 19th, 2009 7:43 am

    @Tynar
    You’re missing the point here.

    Scanlations and fansubs are 100% free and is something done as a hobby during their spare time. They don’t owe us anything.

    If any scanlating group or fansubbing group wants to drop everything and never release anything again, then that’s fine.

    So again. Unless you are going to go into an IRC channel and try out for a position to help them release something quicker or at least more efficiently/consistently, then I would suggest you wait instead of insisting and demanding that they release something.

    Yes. We all wish that [strays] is able to “…[keep] up a regular release schedule…”

    But again. That’s the thing. Since when is there this supposed schedule? If something is done during their spare time and provided to us at no monetary charge, why would they even have a schedule? There is none.

    Also, fansubbers and scanlators have a life outside of anime and manga (and related stuff). They have a job, family, and school to take care of.

    So~

    I suggest that you wait, stop posting here over and over (because you’re beginning to actually sound more obnoxious than anyone here), and AT THE VERY LEAST go into the IRC channel and ask the staff members there directly. I highly doubt that the staff members here check up on the site every single day to see what is posted and who posted it (hence why we get very few reply posts from staff members).

  48. Not_Log July 19th, 2009 5:05 pm

    Only babies give a shit about a release schedule. We’re not a fucking business.

  49. Honda T. Kawasaki July 27th, 2009 2:46 pm

    Well since it might be a time before the next release comes out here is another 80’s movie to rent and watch to kill some time.

    “Used Cars” starring Curt Russell is a rather obscure but funny comedy.
    If you like movies that have crappy used cars, low life salesmen, an evil twin, commercials with strippers dancing in public, hijacked presidential speeches, electronics geeks exlpoding luxury cars, grandpa Munster as a hanging judge, then this one is right up youe alley.

    So till My Balls 27 comes out give “Used Cars” a test drive.

  50. Kasuri August 1st, 2009 1:06 pm

    People are lame. Seeing that other people were reading other translations, I went and looked- they’re not any good. I could do better than that (and I’m not very good at English XD) So you could be lame and go somewhere else just to get your kicks off or whatever, or you could just be patient and just come back and check this every few months, like me. Thanks Strays for being determined to do good work, no matter how long it takes. (And for being funny. I admit I mostly read this for the lulz and the endnotes XD)

    Hello!
    Is there anyone in there?
    Just nod if anyone is home.

  52. zindryr August 1st, 2009 4:19 pm

    @Mencius

    That’s something I can’t control. Combination of terrible quality RAWs and then YouTube side issues. I’m not even sure what I uploaded has any sound issues to be honest. The quality of the original series is already bad enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if the sound was off in the originals.

  53. Mencius August 3rd, 2009 5:52 pm

    zindryr:
    Well, I can understand that. And you put up good work, nevertheless, so it does outweigh the negative portion of the work.

  54. Fucking snore August 5th, 2009 6:30 pm

    Srsly, why be a group that releases things if you don’t release things? Just tell us that you’re done if you’re done.

  55. Not_Log August 6th, 2009 12:29 am

    what the fuck is a group that releases things. There are things in the pipeline anyways.

  56. Honda T. Kawasaki August 12th, 2009 6:38 pm

    Ha-ha-ha. You know, I feel like I only read Oretama anymore because of your guys’ epic comments. It’s great. Strays For Life!!!

    @Zindryr: I understand that audio-surf ruins your life. :’( It’s truly sad when you get a game that you play every waking second that you’re not doing something productive. Lol. *High Five*

  59. DrSmooth August 23rd, 2009 11:23 pm

    By my math, we are about half way til the next release… Yay!!! The archive is building slowly… but building non the less.

  60. Honda T. Kawasaki August 24th, 2009 4:15 am

    Ho Ho Ho!! Just in time for Christmas.

    Hello there all you Stray readers, Santa here with so good advice.
    If you want me to put “My Balls” in your hands for Christmas, you had better be extra good this year.

  61. Not_Log August 24th, 2009 7:13 pm

    Hey don’t blame me for yal falling off the face of the earth for 6 months every time he finishes a chapter. Bug him on irc if you really want kot, as it’s stalled with him.

  62. suiton September 6th, 2009 1:05 pm

    wow…just wow…

    i leave you guys for a while and uh…no surprise, but no release yet?
