New Poll - Scanlation Ethics
(80 posts, 17303 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by pknoctis in News
It's wrong if it's possible and likely to be licensed in english
It's not wrong if you know it's never going to be licensed
This is of course assuming that publishers/authors merely want wide circulation of their books + desire profit in cases possible

If you can't discuss on a reasonable level anymore then just stop.

There is no point in staying on topic, because the topic's prompt is a joke
1) Manga scanlation is not ethical
2) Everyone in this business is a thief, there is no code of honor
3) Shut the fuck up about something that is nonexistent

New Poll - Bad Parts of Manga
(38 posts, 6611 views) Posted: over 11 years ago by pknoctis in News
The only deal breaker for me is characterization. It's impossible to be completely original, what a story needs is characters (this includes backstories) that really pull you in
This is why I hate shoujo, not because it's "romance" but because 99% of the MC's are pathetic ...

Want more proofs about Mangapirate's bad quaity translation :
Check Noblesse 245 of both EG scans and MangaPirate's and you will find that there is more than grammar. Few sentences are right but maximum are wrong or not fully correct.

The ending!

Aw it got killed off? HnG is one of my favorite mangas ever, period. :/ I think the ending quote (connecting future and past) isn't QUITE as random as it seems because Hikaru's obviously talking about how Sai's, and his own eventual love for Go connected them together.

Worst SHOUNEN Cliche

Definitely been posted earlier but the worst cliches IMO:
1. all the strongest fighters are around the MC's age (which, seeing as it's shounen, is usually 14-15)
2. MC can't kill because it's wrong
3. constantly better fighters popping up (which might be true in the real wor...
