We needed Imperial for Terra Formars. If Mangastream goes, nobody will be translating it other than display;none at his own, extraordinarily slow place.
>>135154922
>We needed Imperial for Terra Formars.
You realize Mangastream is literally the exact same people, right?
>>135154940
How exactly did they "hand over" the project, then? I realize that members of Imperial moved to Mangastream to continue, but that does not mean the two are the same group.
>>135154940
Mangastream is both Imperial and the original members now.
>>135155033
Pretty much everyone in Imperial was also in Mangastream alread, the leader of Imperial quit so they just started releasing their stuff on Mangastream's site instead.

If your purpose for learning Japanese is being able to read raw manga, your reward for learning Japanese will be being able to read raw manga.

This means that you're telling someone to learn Japanese for the sake of being able to read raw manga. If that is all they want with the language, that is all they will get from the language. You're not going to move to Japan, or get a job as a professional translator, or shoot the shit with random smokers in your local Asia-Town because you learned Japanese in order to read manga.
>>135155134
>>135156245
To be fair, he had reason to do that. They literally just repeated themselves. Itagaki seems to think Baki is a TV show with commercial breaks.
>>135156182
Learning a language for reasons like moving to a different country, or becoming a translator, or talking to normies, these aren't somehow more valid than learning the language solely to read about cute girls doing cute things.
Entertainment makes the world go round. If you can manage to spend just an hour less on 4chan a day, you can learn Japanese.
>>135156182
>This means that you're telling someone to learn Japanese for the sake of being able to read raw manga.
I don't understand your point, there are a lot of people who learned moon, just so they could read untranslated manga and anime.
>>135156364
That wasn't my point. My point was that it's easier to have a group to translate the Japanese raws for you. There are many groups out there doing this. If one gets shut down, you can ask fifty others if they would like to pick it up. Why would you do something that requires years of effort if you can accomplish the same goal by spending a few hours bugging scanlator groups every time the one translating a series you like gets shut down?
>>135156467
I am saying that it is foolishly inefficient if reading manga and watching anime is your sole objective.

>>135156508

And my point is that most groups won't do that unless it's popular. The majority of stuff doesn't get touched until there's a fucking anime announcement, or gets picked up for a week and then dropped.
And let's say all the stars align, and your begging somehow convinces a group to work on something for you. There's around a 95% chance that the translation work will be total dogshit.
>>135156584

>you do better faggot,
No, for two reasons. One, I don't want to. Translating is shitty work, and doesn't improve my Japanese ability at all. I don't care about E-peen, so that's out too.
Two, I probably couldn't. Despite being able to read Japanese with an accuracy higher than the majority of fan translators, my English writing skill isn't great. J>E isn't some cakewalk, you have to localise the shit out of it unless you want awkward as fuck sounding phrases.
Lastly, translations are actively getting worse. With the advancements in machine translation software, many "fan translators" are literally just putting text through Google and guessing at the meaning.
>>135156869
So, you think this is good translation ?>>135155134

>Two, I probably couldn't.
>Translating is shitty work
So... you are not fluent in Japanese.
>>135156930
I made no mention about the quality of translations, much less specific instances.
>>135156872
I don't think so. Rather I should say, I don't have the information to answer that accurately, but that's irrelevant - all of them have done the exact same shit - extremely crappy TLs for money. I just want to put a stop to that shit, be it at my own expense or not.
>>135156863

>>135157175

No shit, that much is obvious from your dumb excuses like "b-but everything worth reading gets translated!".
>Learning a language is shitty work
It's long work, it's not hard. If you weren't an EOP, you'd know that it's also pretty interesting. Past a relatively small initial investment, most "studying" is literally just reading new stuff, like manga.
>So... you are not fluent in Japanese.
Nope, not yet. But I'm good enough to read pretty much any mango without using a dictionary. Again, if you knew more than a single language, you'd understand that translating ability has basically nothing to do with fluency, especially in 2 languages as far removed as English and Japanese.

What are you, retarded?
It takes 5 minutes and no effort to put up a torrent to the latest game, which millions will buy. Most groups have an inside man working retail, who will literally just open up a new copy, rip it, then put it back on the shelf.
It takes a long time to debind and scan and upload all the localised shit that comes out, and it's all niche stuff. Even if you worked in a book store that got regular shipments, you'd still need to destroy a copy.
>>135155532
/jp/ was always a joke.
>>135157805
Because it's japanese/expensive.
Videogames everyone wants to play and there's only one release pretty much. Being a weeb is a niche, being a weeb who buys licensed translated stuff is even more niche.
>>135157805
I'm pretty sure we all pirate shit from Viz.
>>135157956
No one is asking for it early. Anyone can just buy them when it comes out not even working at the retail store and put it out later. Do you think there's any competition to have it out sooner or something especially for series that have completely stopped scanlations?
Or are you telling me HorribleSubs and shit don't make enough money to destroy one copy?
>>135158008
But why would jews try to make money out of some fags that won't pay a cent and move on to another series instead?
>>135157805
Probably because they take years to come out and whatever series they picked up are probably already partly translated by some weebs somewhere.
>>135158041
I'm saying that games can be removed and returned from the shelves easily. You'd have to buy every book you wanted to scan, which soon adds up.
>>135157956
Shouldn't there be more passion to make it so others can illegally read Japanese comics? There are plenty of groups that buy raws for untranslated tanks of stuff, then debind and translate and clean it and typeset it and all that crap before they release it and it all probably costs more for imports and customs.
It should be easier to debind and clean up already translated books from your region
>>135158046
There's also not many people working on cracking DRM. Videogames have release groups like chinks working on them, the only people working on DRM stripping for mangas and things are a specific subsection of /a/nons who decided that they wanted to programmatically download the manga at the original resolution.
Also localisations can be years late.
>>135158030
Digital images for ants don't count. People scan LN like Overlord for illustrations all the time, yet they can't be bothered to scan the pages of the localized version for say Raildex? That makes no sense.
>>135158008
I don't deny that, I'm just saying there's no competition for someone to become like the Reloaded of scanlations.
>>135158091
Translations are a grey market. You can run a shitty little group on a site with your personal email for years, and get a bit of money from donations.
Scanning actual shit released in the US would get you buttfucked by lawyers in a minute.
>>135158080
Yeah the guy who buys it obviously has to incur a cost. Are you trying to tell me every video game crack scene makes absolutely no money off doing it?
>>135158127
>Scanning actual shit released in the US would get you buttfucked by lawyers in a minute.
Why is that? How can stuff like FO4 make millions of dosh and can't get the lawyers to stop piracy yet localization jews can when they make chump change in comparison?
>>135158127
What if you send the files privately to someone from shitholeslavia and then they publicly upload them
>>135158162
Because they make millions that they don't feel the need to extort NEETs
>>135158241
What a vicious cycle it is then, I understand where you are coming from. It's like those shitty corner stores that charge absurd prices for bubblegum and random junk food preying on school kids.
>>135158173
Gonna pull you away from that conversation for a second: do you have any interest in participating in my Baki thing when I finally get the gears turning; and if so, what kinds of stuff are you good at?
>>135157377
I don't know, he's got a point.
>>135158106
Raildex has Js06 at least, who buys and translates it.
It is a bit shit relying on people supplying localised versions - to say the least - since the only person that everyone in a thread is relying upon tends to be one tumblr fangirl's lack of paranoia or one /a/non being kind enough to rip the entire thing. You are entirely relying on one person's mercy. With scanlations, the whole team is unlikely to die and furthermore they probably have a FTP topsite of some kind where tons of scans get posted for distro - less vulnerable.
>>135158241
Yeah but they rely on sending out DMCAs which are easily bypassed with a VPN or seedbox whereas mangas tend to be tiny and shared on blogs or on a file lockers which are easily killed.
>>135158162
Shit that's actually a good point.
>>135158349
Can't they just use the same distribution methods as vidya for backups instead? It would especially be useful for the localized volumes since you won't be uploading by chapter but by volume.
>>135158348
What point? That learning an entire language for purposes of enjoying your hobby is a bad thing? Or the act of learning a new language is pointless when it's done for pleasure?
Like either way anon is going to learn and get a useful skill in the future.

There's nothing competitive about CR. You're asking manga to basically take the fast food treatment where everything is done by burger flippers and even those overqualified would simply direct those below them instead of translate the works themselves.

I would really like to see a publisher actually try to sue scanlators. Would they even have a case unless a person is a major retard and attaches personal information to the project?
>>135159180
What little that does get scanned usually gives very poor impressions on the translation quality. It's either stiff translation or over localized. This especially gets noticed in LNs since all they have is text making it hard to ignore and giving more chances for the jews to fuck up.
>>135158612

>>135159239
If I'm arguing, I typically reflexively start speaking in "logic" instead of English. It reads nearly identical, but the distinction is that it assumes the reader is familiar with several concepts/ideas that are only really taught in logic/philosophy courses. I'll drop a sentence from my argument(s) because (as an example)if a equals b and b only equals c, a = c. So why do I need to include b if someone is already familiar with the equivalencies? Sometimes throws people off and/or makes them misconstrue what I'm saying.

That's the problem here, some series are so obscure and niche that when these groups die they will be buried and die.
Fellow scanlators in /a/. Let's sign up for this. mite be fun

How about no

>merge as many scanlation groups into one website
Anon please.
Unless you want the same shit that BT got, I suggest to continue with a decentralized system.

>It takes 5 minutes and no effort to put up a torrent to the latest game, which millions will buy. Most groups have an inside man working retail, who will literally just open up a new copy, rip it, then put it back on the shelf.
These days cracking software can't be done by some nobody with a computer and a right set of automatic tools, so it's not really as simple as making a copy of the disc.

Go hang yourself
>>135160791
>first thing that loads is a huge donate button
How about no? The only reason scanlation isn't dead already is because anyone can just build a group. It doesn't make for consistent anything, but hey, it hasn't died yet.
>>135160791
What? You clearly have no concept of how this works. Jesus, everything about this post is fucking awful. I got mad just reading that post.
>We are reaching a point where if we want to stand a chance against all the profit driven companies we will need to beat them at their own game.
>Well first of all having all the visitors on one website means more activity and therefore better paying advertisements (I have some partners that will provide us with these).
You beat them at their own game by joining the rest of them.
Brilliant. Fucking amazing.
Look what happened to batoto.
First of all, nobody is going to "only use your site". This is just fucking stupid. Why do you think there are a million meme reposts sites? More than one social networking website? Or god forbid, more than one manga reader site?
Even if you managed your "grand dream" of having all scanlators on one site, mangafox and everyone else just rips off you for free, incurring server costs, etc. You are literally just another manga reader site. You are run off of ads and make money the same way mangafox does.
Profit off ad money from content that is not yours by any legal right.
>[...] we will hopefully no longer be looked down upon by the manga industry.
Yes, filthy pirates united on a single site, what a glorious and inspiring movement.
i really wish i could remember kanji so i could just translate it myself and upload it here
how do we not have a /djt/ scanlation team yet
Well, I've found that there's two components to translating:
Comprehension and Reproduction.
Being able to read moon is one thing. If your English is shit, then shit is all you can put on the page even if you're some kind of JP scholar.
>>135160663
Is Barakamon really that niche? It even got a relatively popular anime adaption.
>>135161361
Because those fags are mostly interested in poorly written visual novels.
>>135161361
>how do we not have a /djt/ scanlation team yet
Would actually be god's work if they had a poll or something were they decide on a completely untranslated manga and then translate it in the DJT threads while proofreading each other. Seriously that would be the best TL Team we can get.
>>135161361
>why doesn't this thread that exists to teach people to fish catch a bunch of fucking fish for me
Grow the fuck up already, anonymous.
>>135161411
What?
>>135160791
>>135161324
If you're going to be fakku, that's one thing, but the way you're phrasing everything is too optimistic. The reason why fakku works is because it's a niche that actually didn't really have an actual foreign market presence.
You can't just buy rights if you have the money, they have to be willing to sell them to you in the first place. In other words, a company that's not engaged in illegal activity such as violating copyrights.
And, by doing such deals, the Japanese publisher needs to note you will be making actual money. The reason why VIZ and Yen Press license things is because they think they'll sell. Can you beat their bids for these series?
By this route, you're essentially starting a publishing company. You'll want accountable staff, not some turds on the internet armed with photoshop and a some guys that probably don't actually know Japanese. How are you going to sell these things? How are you going to pay for your workers? The moment you mentioned legally purchasing rights is where your entire first half of having "users on your site" becomes completely invalid.
What the fuck.
To top it off, you end with this, of all things.
>As a result of having many series in one place more readers will use our website instead of the leeching manga reading sites which make thousands of dollars a month by stealing the work of all the scanlators and posting it on their website.
Intentions aside, you are a leeching manga reading site.
Think a little more.

I get mad just by hearing that name, seriously fuck them.

It's called "a job" or "work" for a reason.
>>135161490
I'm so sorry anon
>>135161504
?
You meant this for >>135161471
right?
>>135161522
No, I meant it
>>135161389
seems like it. its dozens of chapters behind and nobody is working on it
>>135161468
>in illegal activity such as violating copyrights.
Like Fakku or CR?
>>135161468
>a company that's not engaged in illegal activity such as violating copyrights.
>violating copyrights.
Anon, if you are not forgetting Fakku and Crunchy were violating copyrights
>>135161585
Maybe it's been licensed and they've been forced to drop it
>>135161632
>>135161681
I realize that after re-reading my post.
Fakku aside, CR I actually don't know too much about the details other than the fact they marketed themselves and they capitalized on the fact that they (somehow) had a paid userbase from the start. This gave them a foothold, I suppose. That's incentive enough, so unless this guy wants to actually start another Crunchyroll/fakku it's not going to work. Not to mention CR was funded 4m to do so.
>>135160791
>let's all become one for the greater goodand to generate ad money for our website
nah
>>135160791
Literally who?
>>135152220
i never get why the scanlators don't just switch sites & names & continue scanning.
>>135162861
An idiot would be able to track that sort of thing, much less people determined to get legal reparations.
>>135153026
what incident are you talking about? i dont really keep up with news of any kind outside of what i read.
>>135162861
Those who actually want to continue, do continue that way. Those who don't just use it as a convenient time to call it quits.
>>135157805
i buy the monster musume books, but lets say if it wasn't one of my favorite manga i would never have considered paying for 1 cent for that bastardized translation.
the only time i accept a western copy is if the translation is that fucking bad, or if there is no other version available and even than i hate it.
>>135161410
No. A bunch of retards still learning will not be the "best" anything.
>letting americans to be in charge of localization
>ruin the fun for everyone else
Frogs by more manga and anime stuff than anyway if only they would be in charge of official stuff.
>>135163410
Fuck off, french fry
