The Curious Case of Ichigo 100% and Sket Dance
(7 posts, 600 views) Posted: 85d 13h, 46m ago by thevampirate in Shounen/Seinen
I really dont think either of those manga are spiritual successors to the ones you mentioned since they are all written by different authors. If you said fairy tail was a spiritual successor to rave master i might have bought it. just because 2 manga by 2 completely diff ...

New Poll - Asian Characters
(46 posts, 2588 views) Posted: 227d 10h, 20m ago by thevampirate in News
To be honest it really seems like they kidnapped a whole bunch of Europeans at birth and raised them as Japanese. It really becomes more apparent when you have either all or half 'white' people in the manga and they look exactly like everyone else ...

New Poll - Unwanted Pairing

I like most Jump romance series however Ichigo 100% really pissed me off. I wish i knew he who he would end up with at the beginning and i would have dropped the series right there. At least the anime has him paired up with the main chick. On the other hand a ser ...

New Poll - Scanlation Ethics
(80 posts, 5269 views) Posted: 255d 22h, 23m ago by thevampirate in News
I'm sorry but that's mostly BS. First of all we are pirating their intellectual property, no ands, ifs or buts about it. Our ability to get the material out there is hinged upon readers being able to find it, and they can easily shut down public access to the materia ...

New Poll - Scanlation Ethics
(80 posts, 5269 views) Posted: 256d 11h, 39m ago by thevampirate in News
the question is about distributing and scanlating not the readers. personally i think it is not immoral or ethically wrong despite being illegal. If the companies that obtained the licences had half a brain they could either shutdown scanlation on a massive scale and force ...

New Poll - Bad Parts of Manga
(38 posts, 1651 views) Posted: 277d 5h, 2m ago by thevampirate in News
what kills me is when manga just goes on and on and on without advancing the plot much. Bleach and even some OP arcs really have trouble with this sometimes. I felt like the entire mermaid arc was 10 times as long as it needed to be. they were all 100x as strong ...

preemptively dropping a series because other groups got a C&D? how is that a proper reaction? RHS did a legally sound action by announcing that they were no longer in violation of the digital millennium copyright act essentially covering their asses. whats w ...

DMCA Notice of Copyright Infringement - Beelzebub & Bakuman
(180 posts, 5913 views) Posted: 461d 5h, 7m ago by thevampirate in News
no editing manga is like making a parody or editing any other image. On the other hand distributing (or even linking to sites that distribute) copyrighted or licensed material is piracy and can be a felony offence, but just editing it is fine. On the other hand they might be ...

Its not actually news but I think that this is a great news post because it shows other groups how to properly deal with DCMA / C&D notices. They specifically point out that Scanlating is 100% legal however distribution of the scanlations is piracy (ie. illegal). The ...

What ever happened to the age old system of starting a new group with new names and a new site when someone slaps a C&D on you. the system works in our favor sometimes. play the system, each group is a entirely different entity and every group need ...

Why Manga Publishing Is Dying (And How It Could Get Better)
(52 posts, 2072 views) Posted: 483d 2h, 14m ago by thevampirate in News
actually both Scanlations and Raws hurt the both the Japaneese and American manga industry. most aggregrators and places to find raw manga dont block Japanese IP addresses, so people in japan are reading manga online instead of buying volumes or maga ...

Why Manga Publishing Is Dying (And How It Could Get Better)
(52 posts, 2072 views) Posted: 484d 1h, 24m ago by thevampirate in News
the solution is simple, keep doing the old stuff since stopping it would kill the industry but start with suing the aggregators into oblivion (millions of dollars on top of shutting them down so no one else would think to do that again sends a nice message). Once the aggreg ...

Well Vteck didnt exactly find homes for all our series, but we made sure NA would be taken care of since it was our flagship series. I expect that Simple will take over Iris Zero but dont quote me on that. We had a good run and managed to catch up NA to the maga ...

this isn't racist, if the poll was are Japanese people inferior that would be racist. Even saying that one group is morally Superior over another isn't racist it just means that they have better morals. that said the US in general have terrible system of mor ...

I find that the 18+ warnings on nonhentai manga to be retarded. If it contains violence or ecchi it doesn't deserve an 18+ rating, that same stuff would be found in most PG-13 movies in the us. i could see a 16+ or 'Older Teen (OT)' rating, just not ...

actually translating and publishing comics in the us is not fair use since most us comic companies make sure that their rights includes that so they can license their comics overseas. the manga comunity also licenses their manga to be translated into other languag ...

I agree that it is good to make a decision however I think that it is a shame that the decision had to be made in the first place. MU shouldn't have to draw lines in the sand about what people do on other sites however this one individual forced this outcome and ...
