The End of Excel Saga (in Japan)

[Foggle]

Strange... Can't find anything about a password anywhere on his blog. The file size definitely makes it look legit.

[Uncreativity]

I'm stumped myself. It doesn't seem to be the blog url (with or without http://).  ???

Are you guys looking into it?

I also downloaded a 400mb Holy Brownie one, and it's passworded too.

The more I compare the volume 27 tankobon to the original YKO scans, the more dialogue discrepancies I find, not just in the final chapter, but in the entire volume. Some of them are pretty significant, too, like:

[spoiler="THIS IS A GIANT SPOILER I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK."]In the original version, the proto-Il Palazzo and Excel cores are referred to as Arc and Accord, respectively.

The original line is, "Arc... it's me, Accord."
The new one is, "Pio... it's me."

Do you see where it's going here? The original Excel and Il Palazzo... were actually Fio and Piora. From Holy Brownie. Some of the extra pages visually confirm it as well.

At the moment I read that, I think I must have looked like this:

I can't wait for Carl's endnote on that one.  >_>

I... I d-don't even... *head explodes to smithereens*

I see people aren't worrying about the download I posted..

I don't have either the YKO with the final chapter in it, or the 27th volume.

Can someone help me out?

Like I said, I haven't been able to figure out the password. The reason why I know what happens in volume 27 is because I actually purchased a physical copy.

[SWamP]

Excel Saga fan, which do you choose?

[spoiler]The bittersweet ending (magazine) or the brainfuck ending (tankobon)?

That's the drill... -_-U

Rikudo, you're an ass :p[/spoiler]

[Duomaxwe]

Has anyone actually read Holy Brownie?

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

yep its about 2 time travelling pixies trying to solve certain problems. Its full of sex and violence and is funny lmao

[Duomaxwe]

It's not in English anywhere though no?

[Sean Gaffney]

It hasn't been scanlated that I know of, no.  And is far too explicit for Viz to realistically pick up, even if it did have a chance of selling.  Which it does not.
