Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
@Sam-Pinansky I disagree, you know mahouka 21+ volumes and ongoing , SAO 18 and will be more, Strike the Blood 16 volumes and ongoing. Just a few examples of longer series. One piece books have Shieldbro and it have 15 volumes and ongoing. All series are printed, Bakemonogatari series etc etc. So why it is a problem? If there is a problem with publisher, then I understand, but longer series are licensed often.
Also, I think something popular will help. Arifureta did a good job I think. -
@sparhawk6 Well, those series are on totally different levels from Date a Live, popularity-wise. Strike the Blood is probably the least popular there but that is still getting anime made so that's probably a factor as to why it got picked up.
-
@Paulo27 Well Date a Live get 2 series 2 OVA and movie, spin-offs, so it is not so bad I guess. Shieldbro don´t have a anime. And StB can be compared with Date a Live without a problem. And I think, the last week it was on 9th place in the sales chart. (Probably thanks to the Kurumi spin-off) Also, I think the last year it was in top 30 sellings.
So sorry, popularity wise you are wrong. Indeed, you can´t compare it to mahouka for example, but it doesn´t change the fact that all mentioned LN from before have many volumes. -
Okay I am making a guess now
Re: At least it's not an isekai I think it's 最強聖騎士のチート無し現代生活
The Everyday Life of The Strongest Holy Knight that can't Cheat
Since this a reverse Isekai, because the Holy Knight is transported to the real world.
-
Getting close to some of these announcements now... Can't wait!
I might make the clues a little more specific as we go, too... Watch the newsletter.
-
Yaaay! Has anyone guessed right yet? I mean we have made a lot of guesses in this thread.
-
@Hakomari I've seen 2 correct names mentioned (not necessarily in this thread, however...) The other 2 no one has guessed yet.
-
The only other place I see you is reddit. I made a thread there with speculations so it is possible someone in the thread guessed them correct.
-
@Sam-Pinansky where I can watch newsletter? And is there j-novel reddit page?
-
@sparhawk6 When you signed up for an account you got to choose whether to subscribe to the newsletter. If you go to j-novel.club/signup
you can make sure you're signed up to get the newsletter. -
@Sam-Pinansky Thanks Sam, I missed it somehow. Btw, if there is really a chance that you can handle Date a Live, go for it please.
-
For Fractal I just remembered Kamigoroshi no Eiyuu to Ermenhilde, which I also suggested before, in which MC has an emblem that might look like this? Thought the emblem might be something fractal-like.
-
My money is on "Infinite Dendrogram" for Fractal but that is not a bad guess either.
-
I somehow give up about titles, I have my tips, just give me something to read. (Just finished my 12 books that I ordered for this month bah)
-
For anyone who didn't see it looks like the Announcemnts page has been slightly updated to give secondary clues for the remaining 3 licenses.
Fractal --> It Grows Down Forever
At Least it's Not an Isekai --> Red Vs. Blue Vs. Green
Fraction of a Galaxy --> 4/3rds of a Galaxy -
Fractal? / It Grows Down Forever <-- Infinite Dendrogram. I am 99% certain of it. An infinite dendrogram would be a pattern that grows down infinitely.
At Least it's Not an Isekai / Red Vs. Blue Vs. Green <-- Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. Haremish novel where the girls have red, blue and green hair.
-
@Hakomari not too hard to make a guess based on new clues.
-
The third one is quite hard actually. Sam told me it had something to do with Misner, Thorne and Wheeler but he may be throwing me off.
-
@Hakomari well, the thing is that Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou have 13 vol and I finished it some time ago. But it will not hurt to read it again. I will check that last clue a bit later when I will work on my pc. I have seen new clues only cuz you mentioned it.
-
God, I hope it's not Ichiban. The ending sucks. :)
