Tales of the Abyss Anthology Scans

Progress! XD
Okie dokie, not too long ago, I went out and bought three of the Tales of the Abyss Anthology books. I think it may had been to scan for the heck of it.

But I was afraid of ruining the books when I got them so, aside from random tidbits that really don't count, I never ended up doing it. Dx

Anyway! I finally decided to get up and do what I intended to do. So I have here the covers and some samples of all the books I got. As well as a poll.

My scanner is retarded so it would take forever and a day, probably, to scan all three books entirely. @_@ Plus, I hate the dang thing. It weirded out on me earlier and if I want it to work again, I have to restart my computer. >.< Dang dreck of a scanner!



These are pretty big scans, bewarrrrre!

Volume 01

Front Cover
Is it just me or does Guy look like he's checking Luke out? :D Mmmm...I'd tap that

Back Cover
GYNOPHOBIAAAAAAA! DDDDx

Flap Artwork
Oh Guy, I'd so molest you if I could...

Sample Page
Ion fall down!? D:

Some of this book has been scanned already like the mini comic with Asch and Luke at Yulia City. There are still some really cute and funny stories in this one, but focuses more on the main group than anyone else. So if you're looking for Van or the God-Generals, they're not really here.

Volume 02

Front Cover
Oh hey, it's Regret! I wanna know why Tear looks so pitiful here, though. Is she torn between Regret and Luke? O.o;

Back Cover
"How may we serve you, Master Luke ♥?"
Guy in the Bartender costume makes me weak in the knees. 8]

Flap Artwork
Uwaaaahhh, Natalia looks so pretty here. Lots of yellow, though. XD

Sample Page
Remember I said my scanner weirded out? Dx I couldn't get a sample page for this volume so I grabbed one that I did a while back. Jade drinks tea! XDDD

This one has a lot more other characters in the stories, including one with Peony. We've also got some God-General action and Master Van! :DD It's so adorable with Asch giving Arietta a flower. Goddddd, I wish I could read japanese...

4-koma Series

Front Cover
Am I the only one who sees something implied with Guy's fingers? o.o Anyone??

Back Cover
Rappigs own your freaking SOUL! (Gotta love how the saphir!Rappig has a nosedrip. Your image is secure, Dist! XD

Flap Artwork
Holy heck, this got cut off, somewhere? O.O;;; Poor Jade!!!! I'll try and get this rescanned, soon.

Sample Page
"Dammit Dreck, I AM your original! Look at my hair!"
"OMGWTFBBQ!? D8"

This one is probably my favorite of all the books. 4-komas are so dang awesome! XD And c'mooooon, there's a Dist fart joke in here, that's an automatic win!

I want to scan one of these for everyone. I'll probably scan the other two at a later time, but this is for now. I'll have the best chance this week since it's Spring Break. So get up and vote, maaaan! :DDD

Actually, the scan resolution is how high of a quality of image you want. The more dots per inch, the better the image looks. I generally scan manga and doujinshi at 300 dpi, just to be safe (some of those kanji can get pretty damn unreadable at anything less).

What you want to do to prevent cropping of areas you don't want is to go where it says Size. Right now, you have the radio button selected that says "Auto-crop the scanned item." If you want more control over what gets cropped and what doesn't, pick "Select area to be scanned," and in the drop-down menu, select what seems best. If there's a custom option provided, pick that.

Hope this helps. ^_^
