Acquisitions Speculation - General

DTTA

God, I hope it's not Ichiban. The ending sucks. :)

@DTTA Shhhhh :D

ImIlyaz

So could anyone explain the clue for this new LN?

Rahul Balaggan

@ImIlyaz it took the spot of Hint #3 Long Title #6249

lazyproblems

@Hakomari I saw people speculating about Dendrogram on Twitter and Reddit. Looks cool, would be a must read for me.

ImIlyaz

@Rahul-Balaggan any idea where the 6249 came from?

@ImIlyaz here v

@Hakomari said in If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord Volume 1 Discussion:

Long Title cause it has a long title. 6249 beacuse it was in 6249 people's reading list on Novel Updates when Sam made the clues.
Here is the link if someone wants to see it.

@lazyproblems

What if I told you it was me on Twitter and Reddit, too.

DTTA

@sparhawk6 There's a reason I only said I didn't like the ending, and not why. :)

ImIlyaz

@_08 thanks a lot!

Quixotica

All I can think of for Red vs Blue vs Green is some sort of Pokemon novel that hasn't been licensed before. Or the Demon King Daimaou that someone suggested earlier.

Paulo27

@Melicans That actually might be hinting at Pokemon, given that that's a game about hunting monsters, it could be a novel about that.
I reckon there's a handful of LNs about raising monster girls and whatnot, could be one of those.

Though I really fancy the idea of a Pokemon series aimed at an older demographic. The Pokemon universe always had a lot of potential for that.

Sam Pinansky

@Paulo27 You know OVERLAP is the rights holder for the official Pokemon strategy guides in Japan.

Could be????????? (no)

sparhawk6

@Sam-Pinansky Well, you know, I actually don´t like Pokemon series :D But, I will be happy, if you will license Date a Live :P

_08

Rejoice! Rokujouma vol 1-3 and part of vol 23 are available. Hint was a reference to Tatami Galaxy since tat one had 4.5 tatami in the name.

Rahul Balaggan

@_08 that must be the long running series Sam mentioned on ANNCast, so since its so long I assume that's why they are starting in the beginning and at the end.

sparhawk6

Ohh nice! I like this series! I read already vol 1-22, but this makes me happy! This guy deserves it, because his translation is really good. Definitely going to buy this one. Thanks guys!
Now left Date a Live and I will be really satisfied :D

ImIlyaz

@Rahul-Balaggan I was really confused why volume 23 was released xD

Jaquobus

Well, as far as I can see, 22 is where the fan translation is at. So releasing both the first volumes and the first one not yet translated is a pretty smart move: It avoids the ~~whining~~ sensible complaint that it would takes years to catch up with the fan translation, killing it for the already invested readers (that's apparently the sentiment with Index at least). And for someone like me who never read the series so far, jump starting it with 3 volumes is also obviously nice.

sparhawk6

Well, what I really admire, is that they work with fan-translator. Really smart move, time wise. I must say, that Arifureta, Uchi, and Roku makes me really happy. I am really glad, that Sam have a taste for good titles.
