Novel pick-up requests
-
@EJ-Bariring He helped to more ppl to get women. His harem is actually small. Idk how far did you read.
-
@sparhawk6 oh i see. I've only read as far as the current fan TL goes since the MTL for this one is really hard to understand compared to other titles.
-
@Hakomari ReLife is great. I need a season 2 of the anime. =)
I'll check out those other ones if they're in English. Horimiya I have read, though I got a bit tired of the pace around volume 3 (or was it 4? Either way, the early volumes made it seem like there was progress made between the main couple, but then there was stagnation and misunderstandings). I'll come back to it.
That World Teacher novel sounds good. Bring it over. xD
-
Relife is getting another season. It is a 4 episode OVA series that will wrap up the series and it is scheluded for 2018 spring I think.
-
It will be awesome if Eromanga-sensei will be licensed before YP will do it.
-
Well if Yen Press does it we won't get the first volume before late 2018...
-
@Hakomari Yeah, that sux. I read up to vol 6, but I will be happy to see it licensed by J-Novel. It is a really good story and in vol 8, there was a nice big cliffhanger :D
Sam, please, please :D -
I am really enjoying the anime so I'll probably read the LNs afterwards. Would be best if it gets licensed here. Make it happen Sam-dono.
-
@Hakomari Wrap up the ReLIFE series? But the manga is still going on.
-
@silentpope
Yeah I know. I think it will be finished by then. Or maybe the OVA series is just an advertisment for the upcoming live-action series.
-
I am starting to detest everyone in the world who is involved with stopping a company from legally licensing the Saekano Light Novels.
-
@Hakomari said in Novel pick-up requests:
Well if Yen Press does it we won't get the first volume before late 2018...
The time range between their license announcements and them releasing the first volume is generally 6-10 months. What makes you think that this series would take so long?
-
@kuuderes_shadow Because they first need to get a license you know. And if that happen, I am not sure that it will be anytime soon. Best will be if Sam snatch it, but I am not sure how it is with publisher.
-
@sparhawk6 and if J-Novel Club picks it up they would have to get the license as well?
Indeed from an outsider's perspective it looks to me as though J-Novel Club announces their licenses a lot later in the process than YP does - which means a longer wait before the announcement, which then balances out the fact that you'd then get the volume faster after the announcement here than from YP.
-
@kuuderes_shadow Sorry, but you can´t compare them 2 months vs 4 -5 months. And do you think that YP announce license immediately after they get it? Funny. In matter of release date, you truly can´t compare it. Vertical keep so far Monogatari series in the 2 month gap, also One Piece Books keeps Shieldbro 2-4-2 for now, what is not bad. Just imagine Mahouka series, they are on vol 5 and for now is out 21 volumes, so just imagine how many years it will take till they actually catch up with volumes from 2017. (Better not mention Re:zero, Strike the Blood, SAO, Death March,...)
This are my points to this topic. -
@sparhawk6 - Please don't put words into my mouth. I never said any of the things you are arguing against there.
-
@kuuderes_shadow Read it again, please. Only one thing that actually react to your previous comment, was the first and second sentence. The rest is my opinion. I didn´t come to argue, just make a points.
-
@sparhawk6 - and those were the bits I was mainly replying to as well
-
@kuuderes_shadow Yep, so it has been just my reaction to it. The next titles and companies I mentioned, are only to make a better image of how things look in reality, when it is going about release date of the books.
-
To clarify, I'm pointing out that I never said or suggested that they announce things immediately after licensing them, but merely that I believe they do so at an earlier stage in the process than J-Novel Club. In other words, if a YP license was going to have to wait until, say, October 2018 (which would likely mean , that would probably mean a license announcement in, say, January 2018. If, at the same date as a potential YP license that would lead to a vol 1 release date in late 2018, J-Novel Club got the license instead, you would not see the first part in Jan 2018, but instead see license hints in Feb/March, with the announcement in, say, May. In other words, there's a bigger gap between license acquisition and us finding out about it for YP than for JNC - so the part we see as the "getting the license" bit would be longer for the latter than the former. The dates are hypothetical, of course, but I'd be surprised if the key point was wrong.
On the other hand, YP may well already have/be on the way to getting the license, in which case it would be out well before the end of 2018, which was my original point before you brought up the subject of license acquisition. Of course, JNC could as well, although I doubt it, and if they did then it would render void the claim that they should get it.
Given that what I'd been replying to was about the release date of the first volume, how long it takes between one volume and the next is irrelevant.
