Yen Press Licensed Dungeon Meshi

Sounds nice. I love adding localized shit to my library. There is no one but me to read it, but it makes me feel nostalgic about times when I still had friends.

People say this, but I've never seen any evidence of Yen Press going after download links and web-readers.
It's usually been the Japanese owners.

prepare for dmca, all over the place translations, and shilling
no hardcover either

yen press releases are shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

>>149122113
Isn't that just from the Overlord threads where after it got licensed, a mod started deleting any thread that had a link to ln translations, despite there being no rule for it and no other ln threads were treated like that? Always just seemed like a conspiracy theory and it was probably just a mod being a dick, not a YP operative.

>>149122854

Hi YP.

30 minutes after goblin slayer chapter got uploaded on mega, it got deleted.
Yenpress is lurking.

And shilling by the looks of it with multiple jewpress license thread. Protip: No one on /a/ will get hype if jewpress involved, for justifiable reason.

>>149123061
Do they though? 4chan isn't hosted in the US is it? Maybe they have to now because the new ad servers are US based.

give me Kakegurui back you Pressholes

Yen press usually does decent translations but I swear it's one guy that does in his spare time on a Saturday evening cos releases take years.

Someone post images of those Spice and Wolf Yen Press books that were recently delivered.

>>149124101
I should I was getting paid to shill but I'm being honest they are much better that the likes of seven seas that take unwelcomed liberties like giving lala a Irish accent when she has no such thing.

>>149123061
I don't know if they do or don't legally have to, but I do know that they don't give a single shit in 99% of cases.

>>149122113
>People say this, but I've never seen any evidence of Yen Press going after download links and web-readers.
I see you weren't around in the days of yore when Hachette had Haruhi and Spice&Wolf kicked off B-T.

My only gripe with YP is that they pick up so much that most works had to be delayed terribly. It is much better than what Viz did to Shakugan (two volumes, then never) no Shana, at least. That said, I wouldn't want them to suddenly speed up translations in exchange for poorly quality across the board.

>I should I was getting paid to shill but I'm being honest they are much better that the likes of seven seas that take unwelcomed liberties like giving lala a Irish accent when she has no such thing.
The main problem that every single legit translation has to conform to laws regarding copyright, the depiction of non-fictional entities, etc. That's something that Japanese authors fan translators do not need to deal with as harsh as in Murica.

I understand shilling videogames or movies because they are multi-milllion markets, but how sad do you have to be to shill for something as niche as transalted chinese comics?
The people who buy them will do anyway, because it's a small market.
The only effect shilling has is making yourself look pathetic.

Yen press kicked my dog. I saw them do it.

>>149124838
some eops support shitty companies regardless of the shit they put out sadly

EHScans better not stop doing this series.

>>149125035
That's the point, and shilling here of all places isn't going to change that.

I don't even care, I'm just happy to have it localized so I can have physical copies of it on my shelf. Hopefully that means a bigger audience, too. More success for Dungeon Meshi would be great.

The author doesn't get anything unless you buy the Japanese copies, any success in the west goes to the localizers, that's why they buy the rights.

That will only truly happen if the show gets an anime.

I read this recently and it was fuggin great, those dark elf parts seriously spooked me, especially the painting part.

>>149125410
"Boycotting" doesn't do much in this case, my dude.

>>149125456
Dungeon Meshi's fanbase would never become what OPM's is, just by nature of the manga itself. That's kind of a weird hyperbolic comparison. Totally different audiences, man.

They have to receive a specific DMCA to give a shit.

>>149125550
That's not true at all. The localizer does get a pretty big cut of the profits, but the author gets a cut, as well. Without localization, the author misses out on an entire country's audience - Importing is too much of a hassle for the average reader and the average reader also isn't bilingual either. Localization means more success for the creator and that's why I'm usually in favor of it, even if it makes some fans salty.

>>149125717
You gotta be crazy to think OPM and DM attract the same audiences, dude. DM isn't going to be as mainstream popular as OPM, AOT, etc, I can tell you that pretty confidently.
And anyway, the reason popular shows get bad fanbases, shitposting threads, etc on /a/ is because /a/ is shit to begin with.

>Yen Press is shilling again

>>149125717
Dungeon meshi is comparable to natsume in terms of quality.

There arent any obvious flaws to shitpost about. It's a simple and solid story. Most we'll get is shitposting about armor crabs.

Heck not even Natsume gets shitposting about fujoshit since it's a top tier show overall; not something you could call 99% of shit out there, OPM included.

>>149126108
Any sufficiently popular show will get shitposted regardless of quality.

So is this what /a/ these days? A place where people shill their mediocre shit and not get banned on sight?

>>149126089
>you idiots
Oh fuck off, I'm not a shill. Not everybody who disagrees with you is shilling. For the record, I'm all for scanlations and official releases coexisting.

Im not saying there wont be. I expect thr monster design to be the target. Im saying it wont make any fanboys mad since there's not any glaring flaws to point out that would make them mad (besides armor crab but hey we're all over that argument now)

I guess it depends if you count elf bullying spam as shitposting which is just unavoidablr since we're going to run out of things to discuss

>>149126398
Yes. Since yenpress not only makes shilling threads, but also puts stealth marketers in them to encourage people to buy and defend their tactics and watch for links so they can be taken down.
Comfy is dead.

>>149126050
>The localizer does get a pretty big cut of the profits, but the author gets a cutt, as well
Who told you that? The localizer purchases the rights to localize it from the manga distributors (for example Kodansha or Shueisha are big names), then the localization company is the one that receives the profits for the purchase of the localized work. The Japanese companies would have to localize it themselves to get the percentage of western sales, I can't even think of a manga example of this but Nintendo has their own localization branches in the west so that they profit from western sales. It's part of why the west has so little influence on the manga and anime market although this will probably gradually change over the future as Japanese companies become more willing to collaborate.

>>149126428
Yeah, people thought that about Jojo once, now the threads are garbage (though I believe it's more to do with the fact that it's a general).

Even if fanboys don't get mad, the shitposting will still overrun the threads and they won't be fun anymore.

>>149126479
well honestly, I don't expect Dungeon Meshi to become very popular anyways, at least on /a/. It's not as "exciting" and attention-drawing as others that turned to shit due to the nature of its plot. My only comparison is Natsume since that has 5 seasons and is quite popular (at least in Japan) but no one shitposts about it on /a/.

>>149127117
because the armor crabs actually grow the armor itself perfectly instead of using existing armor in the castle. It bothered me too at first since what we're show is far too perfect to be done by natural selection; the coin bugs have imperfections too. I've gotten over it by just chalking it up to the whole magic and curses shit (which is pretty lame considering everything else in the manga), but I still think it would have made more sense if they were like the actual mimics which just go from chest to chest.

when Dungeon Meshi gets an anime, I fully expect there to be a lot of shit over that episode since we certainly did. I can't think of any other complaints other than that since everything otherwise has been very solid.

>>149127224
ok, stay mad that a series is being licensed I guess?

>>149127413
They grow the armor? I thought they did inhabit existing armor sets.

plus censorship

>>149120480

What other localization team would have been better than Yen Press anyways?

Yen Press and Viz are all I hear about, and considering the volume of work they localize, it's probably expected that some will be botched. Surely there's a better chance that the localization for DnD will be good?

i hope what was meant by the dungeoneering aspect was that the sorceror provides the magic and a basic foundation then shit just evolves from that.

For some reason, I wouldn't be too fond of the idea of some sorceror basically going simcity to make a dungeon, or at least the dungeon in the story.

So when's the anime?

>>149127472
it's explained in one of the extra midchapters whatever you call them, don't remember which.

Her expertise was explosion magic. Which she was able to use this mostly efficently, mostly, except for some few fuck-ups, she also healed, used protection magic, used stunning spells that saved their asses, made them water-walk and resurrected the imouto despite all odds.

anything with too many japan cliches/tropes is just going to be inherently shit. Becoming popular just means that more people point it out since they don't realize that a guilty pleasure (i.e. any romcom or haremshit) doesn't have to be some literary masterpiece.

>>149127882
Are you signing your own posts now?

>>149126457

Kodansha has an English branch, so I'm assuming they keep it all "in house", so to speak. Companies like Viz and Yen Press buy the rights to print and distribute in English in certain countries (US and probably Canada), but I don't know if any of the profits they make go back to the Japanese publisher and, eventually, the original author. Depends on how they negotiated the contract to obtain those rights. Is there a break-down of the business model somewhere?

I've only heard from someone who worked in localization but they said it's not particularly in practice to share sales with the publishers since they already get paid the initial fee for the rights and English sales barely bring a profit as is. This was 2 or 3 years ago so some things may have changed since then and I'm not familiar with the Kodansha branch or what their involvement is.

>>149127188
>he fell for the "support the localization, support the mangakas" meme
either that, youre daiz/jewcob or youre shilling

when it comes to licensing agreements, western publisher gets a really big cut from the total sales, then the original jap publisher gets a ways smaller cut (in the order of 33-20%) and lastly the author gets his royalties, in best cases additionally they get a really small % cut
now, royalties in these deals can be tricky, like getting 10-5% every 1k book sold(and this can get even trickier like ONLY every 1k, so if they sell 1999 books, author only get their share for the first 1k leaving all the 999 left for the licensing company), or getting them up to a point then everything avoce said point goes all for the localization company or getting royalties only if they reach a certain amount of sales

then only cases were the author actually gets a great deal is when theyre REALLY big in japan and worldwide, like Toriyama or Togashi big, but this isnt Rui's case so get the idea she will get fucked in this licensing deal and her share will be minimal

if you really wanna support jap authors import the tanks from japan, in this way their publisher treats them better, offer a better paid to them, assign them a full team of assistants, etc etc

>fansubbers create community and readership
>Yen Press swoops in and shuts everything down

Like vultures.

>>149129351
So what's the point of publishing in the west if it doesn't profit the person that's make this. Just sounds like greedy and snubbing fans translating the shit.

>>149128783
It varies depending on the series and how in demand it is or is perceived to be. I don't know the exact figures and I don't think that's public information anyway but most contracts are basically "we'll pay you x amount of money if you let us sell your product to our own audience" and publishers generally aren't going to say no to some quick extra cash although obviously it needs to be enough of a sum to make the transaction worth bothering for. I imagine that really popular series probably have more room for negotiation but I don't know for sure, I'm not an insider or anything.
>>149129043
Never heard the specifics on this, the impression I got was that English sales are the domain of the localizers although I'm sure different publishers have different policies.

>>149129481
Because the person that makes this gave up the rights to the IP to a Jap corporation, and Yen Press paid for a licensing deal.

>>149129481
thats the jap publisher job, squeeze every penny from their artists
normally publishing and distribution costs are widely absorbed by japanese in-market sales, leaving a good margin of profit; taking in account DM sales, profits are granted
licensing overseas are only but extra cash for jap companies, they sell the publishing rights for a fair amount for a X amount of time and get to renew the contract every time that X amount of time is reached

>>149129536
YP stop this really is embarassing
where im complaining about the licensing company getting the biggest cut from the cake? its the fair thing to do after all
the point of my comment was to shredding a light into the "buy official translation, support the japanese artists!" lie, japanese author gets the smaller cut of them all unless theyre worldwide famous and their work sells like fresh bread

>>149130200
Apparently their translators get paid like shit so the work they put out probably matches it. I'd direct your anger towards the people at the top of the pyramid.

>Yen Press ruining light novel community and growing fanbase like it's nothing to them

They might as well kill the manga community too. They killed Dragons Rioting and Strike the Blood popularity. Kadokawa is blamed for this mess too.

Yen Press can be good, when they pick up series that have really shitty scanlations, or ones that are super slow to the point that their releases some how manage to outpace them.

Which is a rare case, and not this one.

>>149120480
Fuck NO. Yen Press is incompetent.

If you really want to support Ryoko Kui, you'd just import that shit from Japan.

It probably has more to do with the fact that most official translations aren't very good and also the fact that they're official means they're held to a higher standard than fan translations because people are actually paying for them.

I hate this. I love Kui Ryouko and her works. But I hate how Americunts publishers are just going for the big hits. Publishing Dungeon Meshi at this doesn't make much sense from the point of the readers market. You ought to start with Ryuu no Gakkou wa Yama no Ue which was Kui's first short stories collection. Then proceed with Ryuu no Kawaii Nanatsu no Ko and Hikidashi ni Terrarium after that. Now you got the publishing history of Kui taken care of and the market is chronologically ready for author's current work - Dungeon Meshi.

>>149137528

I may or may not have worked with Yen Press; those guys were pretty shitty.

They've acquired a shit ton of licenses with no intention of publishing them, they just don't want to anyone else printing a potential gold mine from underneath them.

I remember sitting in on one meeting, and we had the capacity to expand the translation team, thereby putting out more books, faster.

It was an hour long circle jerk of "yeah well...it's not like we have to, right?"

It's such bullshit and the sad part is people give money to yen press despite their horrible translation and wait time for a chapter

You'd think they would have learned to fix their service over the years , fucking crunchyroll has, but yen press is too Jewish to do that

One to advertise
One to moderate 4chan and other sites

in the first place, if you're going to blame someone, blame the japanese companies. in this transaction, they are the only ones that don't do shit and still get a sizeable cut.

>also the series is popular even without the western base

I meant popular in the west, retard. No one in the west will even know it existed if it wasn't for scans.

Face it. The only reason that a western fanbase exist is because of scans and raws. Cut that off and alienate them from the latest chapter/episode/series in Japan and you're just killing the interest in the west.
And with that dead who will buy translations of the manga now? Now Yen Press will go look for another "popular" series and license that and the cycle continues.

So if YenPress is bad, what are the good companies? I like to buy localized manga but I don't want to support a company like that. Reading this thread makes me sad because I didn't realize how awful YP is.

>>149158951
Vertical is the only one I can think of that's consistently good, Viz and Dark Horse are kind of all over the place in terms of quality but they can put out good stuff if they try.

>>149159256
How about Kodansha? Their sweetness and lightening release is great.

>>149158951

Kodansha's translation of Noragami is really good. I don't know how they are with other series but I'm impressed with their effort and the explanations they put in the back to explain their decisions. They also include the bonus 4-koma that other publishers leave out. Paper quality is poor, though.

YenPress is doing Barakamon and they're okay. They translated the islander's accents as a thick southern American accent and made attempts to preserve jokes, but some things just get lost. My biggest gripe is that they release slowly and not even on-time. The next volume was supposed to come out in October but I have yet to see it on the shelves. It's grating to read a translation that tries to adapt accents but since they're such a huge part of the narrative I guess they went with the best fit they could find.

>>149159376
I've heard bad things but I don't think I own any of their releases except for Sailor V which I haven't looked at in years so I can't say for sure.

>>149159466

I'm collecting a few yen press series and they're constantly changing release dates. They're releasing Re:Zero like two volumes a year for fuck sake.

Would you eat at a restaurant named this? I would

>>149158951

Vertical
Seven Seas
Dark Horse

But /a/ really dont care about other companies because we are busy shitposting Yen Press 24/7

>>149159886

YP is just the bottom of the barrel when it comes to localizations. If they go out of business another group like Kodansha or Viz will take their place here.

>>149159466

I just looked at my book shelf and realized how many YenPress releases I have. I mean they have Yotsuba, Horimiya, Nozaki-kun, etc. I feel dirty now.

You should always look into the affairs of the company you buy stuff from.

>>149160882
How are the Horimiya and Nozaki releases?

>>149159663
They can't milk you for money slowly if they release everything at once.

>>149161181

They also can't make money if they don't release anything. Having a spaced out schedule for releases is understandable since once they catch up people might wonder why the series that used to come out every month now takes six months. However, maintaining that schedule should be a top priority - customers appreciate reliability and timeliness. YP announces release dates, blows past them with radio silence, then quietly releases something like a kid shamefully turning in late homework. Sometimes they'll just drop things altogether without any communication except for persistent DMCA attacks on fans that try to pick up where they left off.

>>149161122

They're good, paper quality and translation are great and the covers are well designed.

>>149161104

If I did that I wouldn't be buying anything but Fair Trade shit. Most companies are shady and underpay their employees. I also would have to stop collecting figures too since they're practically painted with slave labor. It's more so the affect that it's having on the series as a whole, as in killing interest for it, that concerns me.

Guys, what the hell is Marcille supposed to be doing in the bottom left panel? She's not holding anything in her hand, she's just forming a ring with her fingers. How's that supposed to help her?

>happy it's finally getting localized

It's already getting translated by fans by what is light speed compared to Yen Press.

Also, its fucking Yen Press. Kill yourself.

It was good while it lasted, see you guys.

You sound like a middle age normie, a newfag just here for your job. Also:
>fans make a thread for their series
>bitching about people having fun
>>149166648
I worry for the future when we stop making threads. We're probably not going to keep one up thanks to these faggots reporting them for profit.

>>fans make a thread for their series
Haven't you been in these generals that avoid being labelled as such and how they were always keeped from dying until they reached post limit and a new one was created? Of course this is no hard evidence, but GS threads felt forced after a while.
