@legitpancake Oh, I wasn't aware of this tweet. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Ah, right, sorry, I completely forgot steiner had a relatively big fight with them back in the day and I even commented on the fact. I guess he means/hopes that they will die soon and that meme was about how rakudai's licenses will have to be "rescued" like the TokyoPop licenses. It (kinda?) makes sense now.
-
@novurdim seems like you have an ax to grind with Steiner, if you do take it up with him on Twitter, otherwise no more pointed messages meant to incite others.
-
@rahul-balaggan yeah, I'm sorry for the redundant edge, my confusion was 100% honest

lol I didn’t even know SP existed figured it was YP’s second name. Well looks like it’s time to read some new LNs cuz I’ve read most of YP’s and SS’s as well. I’m running low on finding things to read. But if it’s as you guys say I should maybe stay away cuz I’m going to get annoyed waiting for published translations. I got use to waiting 3 months per volume with YP’s and SS’s LNs translations (digital). So how bad are the waiting periods with SP?
Nvm they don’t seem to have anything that interests me much other then Chivalry Knight.
Any other LN publishers I haven’t heard off? So far the ones IK are:
JNC
Yen Press
SevenSeasEntertainment
(And now) Sol Press -
@hyferzftw No set dates, but for a few of their titles, it took a year for the next volume to be released.
-
@village-idiot lol! Yeah, I should avoid them then.
-
@hyferzftw You're missing a few other publishers. You can find complete list at the top of this wiki page: https://old.reddit.com/r/LightNovels/wiki/upcomingreleases
-
@terabyte thanks didn’t know these existed. Hopefully I can find some sweet stuff to read now.

They mostly specialize in Girls LN, but they do some that aren't (Emeth and Root Double).

@terrence didn’t know it licensed and published LNs until I check the reddit link.

@tusf I don't see malicious intent in Raitorio's scenario
"They're doing 3 volumes at once, to fool the fans!" — I can't not read malicious intent into that scenario. If anything, they're just covering 3 volumes at once to catch up to what the anime has already covered.
-
@tusf May be you're right and they're only publishing 3 books at once to cover the anime. But while it's likely part of the reasons they did it, they could also be trying to make people think that they will quickly published the series.
Maybe it's not out of ill will and it's part of an effort to better themselves, their brand image, and they intend to deliver on that series.
But given their history and how they seems to treat people who works them, I wouldn't put it pass them to try and fool people, if not out of ill will, at least out of incompetence. -
If were really getting more new licenses during AnimeNYC I wonder why today's licenses weren't just saved for then.
-
@eternal-wanderer to build up hype for next week
-
For those of you who don't Discord:
-
Tries to think of series with English titles or series with unedited Japanese titles for anime that are popular enough not to change.
Hmmm intensifies.
-
Are there any titles that just consist of a name or other proper noun? Or maybe it could just be titles that already have an official English name from an anime adaptation. Or both. Or a title that was written in English originally (and properly) for whatever reason.
-
“Gamers” can be one of em XD

I'd die and automatically revive out of happiness if this was true. Others that come to mind would be High School DxD, Campione and Date a Live but I doubt we'd get those, GAMERS seems much more plausible.
Going for recent stuff with anime adaptations, Assassin's Pride would be a decent guess. On lesser known stuff I'd kill for would be Chronicle Legion, the first 3 volumes were great, with that characteristic style by Takedzuki Jou with lots of historical references.
