Acquisitions Speculation - General
-
@Catscope Honestly? 2 months schedule for Monogatari series is pretty good. I have nothing against them. Dec - August = 6 books.
-
@sparhawk6 Hey now, there's a lot more to Nisio than just the Monogataris.
-
@Catscope It is, but Vertical is working on Monogatari series now. And other series can be still picked up by someone else . And this year they published Decapitation - Kubikiri Cycle I think. And I think that from marketing point of view, focus only on one author novels is not a good move.
-
@sparhawk6
Vertical also will release Juni Taisen: Zodiac WarAnd Viz Media will release Imperfect Shojo
-
@sparhawk6 said in New Acquisitions Speculation General:
@Catscope It is, but Vertical is working on Monogatari series now.
Yeah, that's why I said "NisiOisiN's works" in my original post, I meant that in a fantasy world J-Novel Club could do other stuff besides Monogatari to spread the load, and Vertical just has to print it later.
And other series can be still picked up by someone else.
This is what I'm skeptical of, NisiOisiN in general seems to be exclusive Vertical territory now since they've rescued Zaregoto and are (edit: not) doing Juuni Taisen.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan Viz media released more, Death Note - Another Note LN for example. But they are not Vertical and I was talking about Vertical. Also, Juni Taisen: Zodiac War is still far, it will be released at october. But honestly, I like most Monogatari Series.
@Catscope as Rahul and I write, there are also Viz Media who publish his novels. So it is not a Vertical exclusive.
-
@sparhawk6 Fair point I hadn't actually heard about Imperfect Girl. When was that announced? All I knew was that Kodansah USA was publishing the manga.
-
@Catscope Not sure about when it was announced, but release date is 24 - 26 October 2017(It is different on amazon and bookdepository). Actually, @Rahul-Balaggan , Imperfect Shojo is also Vertical when I look on it.
-
@sparhawk6 I swear on my entire collection of Manga Light Novels and Hentai that when I looked at the Amazon listing before it was Viz Media.
Now it has been changed to Veetical.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan I believe you! That is pretty serious oath! :D
-
This post is deleted! -
@sparhawk6 you know what I was wrong.
I mixed it up Juni Taisen is Viz Media
Imperfect Shojo is Vertical.
Goodbye Manga Goodye Light Novels Good Bye Hentai. I was wrong.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan We pretend that you didn´t swear, cuz I can feel it. I will be not able lost my precious collection too :D
Well, at least we know how it is now. Thanks for the info actually. -
I wonder if were going to get some new acquisitions soon, after all, J novel club is beginning to get caught up on a few of its series such as Realist Hero and Mixed Bathing. If they do grab some new licenses to replace those series I hope its something I've never heard of. Nothing against licensing series with popular anime but it really fun when you have something entirely new.
-
If there are any new licenses coming down please consider announcing them during Anime Expo (July 1 - July 4)
You guys might not be attending (this year) but all the other companies will be announcing stuff so you know peer pressure.
-
@Rahul-Balaggan When it comes to press, why announce during Anime Expo if we're not there? All it would do is get our announcement scrolled off the headlines faster.
Better to wait the week after.
-
@Sam-Pinansky Alrighty boss man
-
@Sam-Pinansky Makes a lot of sense, indeed.
-
Every time this thread gets updated in the feed it gets my hopes up :(
-
@Sasha-McGlynn Tweeted "???" as one of her current J-Novel Projects. Sounds like another announcement is around the corner.
