Aggregators, Scanlators, and MU
(80 posts, 8916 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
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 languages. anyo...

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 only has ...

honestly I agree with you entirely about those problems and that's why it should be up to the scanlators to upload their own releases to aggregators.
In the event of legal action against the aggregators the groups most likely wont be targeted and if they are they can just...

I'm 99% certain that matias did not get banned and therefore can still submit chapters for approval like EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of the site. the privilege he lost was the ability to approve releases other people submit. the problem with him was the fact that he publicly pres...

I think it is a shame that it had to come to this. The only mistake Mathias did was get MU involved with the crap on mangafox. Aggregators are a part of the manga comunity and people need to accept that, they may be parasites who make money off of groups works but they st...

New Poll - Scanlation Groups and Their Projects
(24 posts, 3623 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
the poll might be wrong about larger groups but it could stand true for 1-4 man groups (they do exist) i know when Ala Atra Scans started we only did 1 series but as time went on and we grew we ended up picking up way too many series (i never did anything other than our o...

the release mod status didnt give him any powers to abuse he just happened to be a douche and uploaded other groups works to manga readers (rule of thumb is if you didn't do it don't upload it). The only reason MU has anything to do with this is he posted that he is a MU ...

I've been an updater for a year or two now and I have never once uploaded a release to any site other than MU. We aren't affiliated with those readers (as far as I know). I think that group overreacted and blamed the wrong people, how would they even know that he was one ...

New Poll - Target Demographic

i think the fourth answer "I read all sorts of demographics without preference" is covered by the first two and really skews the results of the poll

New Poll - Target Demographic
(20 posts, 2843 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
not really a lot of josai/sennin are very targeted and almost unbearable to read if you arent in that targeted audience. to say someone is an idiot for not reading that is just ignorant.

New Poll - Honorifics
(57 posts, 8056 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
I agree with that for the anime half of translations, however with manga you dont get the voice, tone, ect so leaving in honorifics adds that tone/voice in. I agree there shouldn't be TL notes in anime or manga on the page leave them in a separate page in the end. there a...

New Poll - Scanlation vs. Official
(7 posts, 1267 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
the mangaka does get a cut but less than the original versions usually. I agree with the honorifics though that's part of the localization process that takes away from the characters.

(7 posts, 1267 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
In general the official releases are the same quality as scanlations however they often have major issues with over localizing and bad translations in their manga. One prime example of this is the Rosario+Vampire English release, in the Viz release they decided to transla...

New Poll - Anime Fillers
(14 posts, 1527 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by thevampirate in News
i dont mind it when it expands the plot unless it changes the plot/adds in new characters that appear later on when they dont in the manga. also with bleach for example there are so many fillers that it begins to effect the story and flow of the whole series. In fact it w...

i think the majority would be against fillers but i wouldnt mind hearing the other side (i mean there has to be someone who doesnt hate fillers right?). i...

New Poll - Original vs. Adaptation
(22 posts, 2482 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by thevampirate in News
I really think that most people dont want a 100% filler story and there probbably are more bad examples of completely different story (i cant think of any because i dont watch bad anime series). Also, a lot of anime never see a second season so they have to make major cut...

April Fools' Day Warning
(24 posts, 3036 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by thevampirate in News
Despite these warnings there are always a few groups that Intentionally do releases like this and then post them as the next chapter. at least have the common decency to name it chapter april fools or something like that.

(23 posts, 2834 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by thevampirate in News
you can pretty much give away manga with good ad support. the cost of manga comes from people taking their cuts. if the mangaka made $0.20 a chapter it would be a huge improvement to what they usually make. the ebooks allow the publishers to sell directly to the buyers an...

most twilight names like Jacob & Edward are normal and names like naruto and most anime names are not in most of america. on the other hand i might name my daughter Tiffany and call her Tifa but thats a videogame name and that doesn't count

I wonder how harem is going to work out since there's reverse harem which is mainly shojou and regular harem manga which is ecchi shounen most of the time.
