I promised something a bit different today and here we have it with the release of Survival 2000. This was originally a one-shot published in two parts (which is how I've kept things here) at the turn of the century in Weekly Shounen Sunday as part of a series by Shogakukan where a bunch of their old stars returned to their classic series. You also had other one-shots for stuff like Inuyasha and Blazing Transfer Student.
Unfortunately it was never collected in a proper volume which means that the raws for this came from 20 year old magazine scans making it pretty damn ugly. Such is life I guess.
Personally I'm not even sure it quite captures the original Survival spirit anyway, but I suppose it'd be hard to do that in a single a one-shot, even if it is 80 pages long.
Thanks to this go to my editor, Nady, and to amtt and elemhunter for helping out with the raws.
This release also means that the only Survival content not in English now is Survival NEO, but considering that would also involve tracking down a bunch of 10 year old magazines for something that ultimately doesn't even have a proper conclusion I'm not exactly inclined to bother.
