Moron.

I rather have a new studio redo the entire season 1 by following the manga/Light novel version pacing with the manga version character designs but it will then postpone season 2 than to have Studio Nut make a season 2 with their anime original pacing for the series

So characters sitting and thinking/talking about every autistic detail than repeating it in different words like 5 more times? No, thanks.
Also, every mangafag needs to fuck off for wanting to have exactly the same thing in form of an anime. One of the best things about Youjo Senki is that every adaptation of the story is very different and focuses on different things. Why do you want to take it away?

>>155932516
I'd rather it was at least more consistent, the manga and the LN have the most similarities but the manga takes the misunderstandings over the top, which I enjoy but I'm more for consistency. While I agree that the LN is wordy as shit its still a good read, and we read it as the author originally intended with no editors or animation directors to change things up

>>155932313
Well then you are lost!

>>155932589
Because it's a legitimate complaint? The LN is very stretched and directly adapting it would absolutely kill every sense of pace.

Anon, the mixture of combat drugs, lack of sleep, and lack of proper nutrition mean she's going to be a womanlet who is super flat for the rest of her life. It's also possible she may never hit puberty due to all this fuckery. Multiple accounts have stated female soldiers never hit puberty (or got their cycles MAJORLY fucked up) from all the stress and lack of vitamins. Joan of Arc for example had this issue, or so her squire claimed.

That's not evil. It's law. Tanya's only concern was ending the war as quickly as possible.
People in the setting legitimately suck anyway.
Why should Salary man give a single, flying fuck about anyone? His life was taken in a senseless act of violence. He was then reincarnated as a little orphan girl in fantasy not-Germany because the God in the anime is a particular sort of bastard who's more concerned with what humans fucking THINK than he is with what they do. This world is at constant war for no discernible reason other than being X getting his kicks and the people in it relishing their own bloodlust.
Tanya isn't evil. She's pissed, and rightly so.

>>155936963
There were edited versions of the YP translation for S&W, and I imagine the same happening here.

We still get a translated LN, and judging by the size and content, hopefully it'll be a hardcover premium like Overlord.

Tanya's entire motivation is to live comfortably at the top. Ending the war (and thus "protecting people") is just a side-effect of this motivation.
She's an entirely selfish person, motivated by very human reasons. She only appears evil to her enemies.
This entire discussion is retarded, because what's "Evil" is an entirely subjective idea.

>In den ersten Jahrzehnten nach der Entdeckung des Waschbären durch die Mitglieder der Expedition von Christoph Kolumbus, der als erster Mensch eine schriftliche Aufzeichnung über die Tierart verfasste, unterstellten Taxonomen eine Verwandtschaft zu vielen anderen Tierarten, unter anderem den Hunden, Katzen, Dachsen und vor allem den Bären. Carl von Linné, der Vater der modernen Taxonomie, ordnete den Waschbären ebenfalls der Gattung Ursus zu, zuerst als Ursus cauda elongata („langschwanziger Bär“) in der zweiten Ausgabe seiner Systema Naturae und schließlich als Ursus lotor („Waschbär“) in der zehnten Ausgabe.

>>155938921
what makes you think that i'm calling for vigilantism?

>>155939007
Actually no she didnt.
In her sense she saved human ressources and desasters by getting rid of two disobideant officer candidates that cant follow orders themself.

She had any right to shoot both of them ON THE SPOT for not following her orders and putting other members of her group in danger. If something would have happend she would have to take responsibiltiy because ITS HER responsibility to keep her soldeirs in line and follow orders.
Its the first thing you learn in episode 4 in the warcollege.

By getting "rid" of them through reassignment for those two she avoided shooting them her self, and probably got people not killed by the two incompetent officer candidates.

In war you dont disobey orders during combat NEVER its a sure thing to get yourself killed or later court martialed. If you are not happy about your officer you can write a report later and ask being reassigned to someone else.

The guy repeatedly missed work without excusing himself.
It was mentioned in anime as well.

That's a rather serious fuck up. 2 warnings and being fired on 3rd is a norm. Respectable business gives only 1 warning. Some fire on first blunder.

Also, the guy just went and pushed him under the train afterwards. Speaks of his character.

Though it's understandable you gotta remember: morals mean opinion. Opinion doesn't require logic. Logically, yes, he should've been fired for missing work. But you have to take into account the opinions and feelings that would mark that act as "evil". To Tanya/Salaryman it's the only understandable punishment for going against company policy and he's in the right. To the fired man, this was a personal attack and therefore "evil" enough for him to feel the need to kill him. If someone walks up to you and punches you, that's bad to you right? But to them that's good.

Doesn't make any sense either. It's impossible to even form an opinion without applying some sort of logic in the first place.

Both good or evil has nothing to do with morals or opinions, it's purely self-serving.

>>155942175
Well popular should be around top 10+ shieldbro which is in 11th place or top 20, all of the mentioned should be up there.

>>155942165
As a professional company with professional editors, their translation quality is usually good enough, and better than fan-translators.

But some fans hate some of their word-choice and localization. Things such as how they decide to spell names, or whether or not they keep the nuance of certain jokes and insults.

NGNL's first volume has a lot of people complaining about all the shitty meme jokes.

I don't think (or hope) that it'll turn out like that here though.

>>155942293
I forgot to add kumo to YP's list too

>>155942384
Yen Press's quality varies wildly with the particular translator they decide to hire for particular titles.

For example NGNL, Danmachi, and Log Horizon had no-name literally whos translating them, which led to weirdness and errors. Others like Goblin Slayer, Black Bullet, Maou-sama, or SAO had more experienced translators on them, which meant better translations. In general YP seems to put better translators on series they think will make them money though.

Nigger Overlord is one tier below YS in difficulty and it replaced Lampreys with Rabbits among other things. Anyone who thinks they put in the same painstaking effort or are more qualified than Sky's team is deluding themselves. Fucking CR subs were inferior to Sky to begin with, are they somehow ten levels below YP now?

not that guy, but i think what he was trying to say was every persons "morals" are either set by other people's opinions or your own opinions.

opinions don't require logic that makes sense to other people is what i think he was trying to say, so trying to argue that an opinion has logic or needs logic to function doesn't make sense especially in most tanya decisions- she's considered a good soldier because her opinions and "morals" are forcibly brute but she still upholds the law/justice system in place

Can somebody explain what this anime is about? All I see are pics of an ugly girl and nothing else.

"Overlord TL is shitty and full of errors" is a separate issue from "Yen Press picks up random shitty fan translators".

He never did that for OP. As for his other work, just look at CCC his stuff got reigned in as well when he jumped into pro-translating and took a hit. If it was only Stephen then sure maybe he just sucked, but when everyone who went from free to pro has awkward changes there's a pattern.

I'm pretty certain that's the editor's doing. And it's because YP markets and sells to Americans, most of whom know nothing about metric.

>>155948059
Of course the application was fucking different. But the means were pretty much the same. Bush admin used reclassification of enemy militia to workaround the rules for detaining prisoners, while Tanya uses reclassification of enemy militia to workaround the rules of engagement.

>>155948029
I never said Overlord's TL was a fan translator moron, that's actually half the reason I know that bitch sucks ass. I already posted this so get it through your thick skull this time. A fan translator has passion, and therefore won't make the same retarded mistakes as the 'paid professional' who is only looking to do their job as fast as possible with the least stress while skimming the book as all her fuck ups could not even be remotely possible if she was actually reading. Not even Google MTL can fuck that shit up.

The thing about fan translators being hired is completely separate, why are you mixing things up? The point is that very few translators are pro AND passionate, it's one or the other, and none on that list are actually qualified to be on the level of translators for international companies anyways, where minute details of translating would potentially cost you a lot of cash.

>>155948295

>>155947937
then focuses on the "Overlord TL" part instead of the "fan translators who are bad" part.

In any case.
>A fan translator has passion, and therefore won't make the same retarded mistakes as the 'paid professional' who is only looking to do their job as fast as possible
Thing is, >>155947649 is trying to say that poor Yen Press translations are because they hire bad fan translators and shoves them onto random titles. Whereas you are saying that poor Yen Press translations are because they hire professional translators who don't give a shit, so they should hire fan translators instead? Even though the majority of fan translators are pretty terrible (just look at Baka-Tsuki and Novelupdates) and the good ones are hard to come by.

>>155947625
buy the BD anon

Apparently, Crunchyroll's translator for Youjo Senki subs was Adam Lesenmeyer, who is also J-Novel Club's translator for Ore ga Heroine and Occultic;Nine.
Would he be up to the task of translating the whole novel?

>>155948295
Yeah, you're not the target demographic then. They want to expand their market, but specifically within the states. If foreign buyers want the book, that's fine, but they don't feel like re-releasing the book with metric numbers instead, because $$$$.
Imperial vs metric isn't a bit deal breaker, so if you were going to buy the book anyways, you probably still will.

>>155948708
I'm not all those people anon, nor am I supporting what >>155947649 said. Stop attaching different people's posts onto each other just because they are all shitting on YP. People shit on YP for different things.

The fact that you are using someone else's post to try and derail mine already tells me you're just trying to use semantics to win an argument instead of actually legitimize YP's quality which is skeptical at best.

Naturally I'm not saying most fan translators are great, cause there's a shit ton of scrubs that just do it for kicks especially in the chink and gook scene. But the ones that do a fairly good job do it well, and more importantly improve over time.

How many times has Overlord been revised by the fans? How many times has Overlord been revised by YP? You gonna get a reprint of that book you got there that says rabbit? Do they even update their digital version?

>>155948811
He's not bad. As stated earlier, he fucked up some stuff, but got some stuff right that Sky didn't. But it's definitely not "oh shit I'm a pro I'm way better", and that's not counting how a novel chapter has a bajillion times more words than anime episodes.

>>155948936
>I'm not all those people anon, nor am I supporting what >>155947649 said.
Well, that's not what it looks like when >>155947937 uses "errors in Overlord" as a counterpoint to "you are talking out your ass with this bad fan translator nonsense".

>The fact that you are using someone else's post to try and derail mine already tells me you're just trying to use semantics to win an argument instead of actually legitimize YP's quality
I'm not legitimizing YP's quality, I'm pointing out that most of their translators aren't random bad fan TLs, which is a separate issue from whether their translations are any better than fan TLs.

>How many times has Overlord been revised by the fans? How many times has Overlord been revised by YP? Do they even update their digital version?
Now we're getting into economics. I couldn't tell you if they update Overlord's digital version since I didn't buy it. But apparently they did fix misprint in Re;Zero for the digital version, and they did update NGNL volume 1.

>>155948935
>Imperial vs metric isn't a bit deal breaker
You lose a lot of granularity when you go from centimeters to inches, simply because an inch is larger than a centimeter. This was also a problem when Senran Kagura's characters' three sizes were converted for the Western release.

>>155949170
I posted that simply to show it sucked ass, not that it's a fan translator. If you misinterpreted that, then fine my bad on that part.

>But apparently they did fix misprint in Re;Zero for the digital version, and they did update NGNL volume 1.

And was it actually good? Cause Overlord's summary was 'fixed' over and over and over.

All that said, I'm hoping they won't fuck up YS anymore than you, but I don't see the point in being optimistic when the proof is there.

>>155949305
>I posted that simply to show it sucked ass, not that it's a fan translator. If you misinterpreted that, then fine my bad on that part.
that's ok, I'd rather have productive MISUNDERSTANDINGS than have to bash my face against "le jew press FBI viral shill" wall.

>And was it actually good? Cause Overlord's summary was 'fixed' over and over and over.
They removed a bunch of the memes specifically called out by that one blog post. I haven't actually read it cover to cover though. It's in homuwaifu stash if you want to take a look yourself.

>I'm hoping they won't fuck up YS anymore than you, but I don't see the point in being optimistic when the proof is there.
At this point it's really a dice roll. I'd like to imagine they'll put someone competent on it like they have with their presumed moneymakers like Konosuba and Sword Art Online, but they seem to have strange priorities when Psycome gets someone with a master's degree in East Asian languages while Index gets some JLPT N2.

>>155949295
Funny enough, YS uses imperial despite neither Japan nor Germany uses imperial.

So would anyone know what person is in charge for the shieldbro official TLs? Or is OPB a really literally who publisher? I mean they got kuma miko and another manga i think

I'm actually curious how the English version plans to adapt the cover.
THE SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL is way too verbose to just place it in the same way the title is currently typeset.

If you look at the tweet it's actually billed as "The Saga of Evil Tanya", which is slightly less verbose and even rhymes a little.
Then again, Slime Tensei is currently billed as "Regarding Reincarnating as Slime" which is just bad English, so they may not be final.

>>155956653

Just keep the long "Saga of Tanya the Evil" as a sub-title.

Supposedly, November, according to a post on /r/lightnovels by an attendee.

Also according to the same post, the YP representative openly laughed at a question that asked if they would consider having a forum for readers to write feedback like how J-Novel does. So that's business as usual for them.

>>155957494

Well that's sad. You'd think kadokawa owning the majority of their ass in shares they would do something. That said they probably thought it was feedback about the story instead of feedback on the TL quality.

With that said, even allegedly Sky showed up in Konosuba thread, saying his translation is obviously crap and anybody who thinks his weird Singaporean English is better than the official translation (because it's funnier to read?) is either an idiot or a redditor. So yeah.

Say, anybody wonder if YP licensing might cause the scanslations for Youjo Senki to stop?

...I'd rather not be stuck waiting

>>155959392
Nah, that sounds in character for skythewood, he often tells people to go buy the proper translation.

>>155959490
The scanner Horre is a chink who releases raw on baidu, and the translator seems like an ESL (or just wasn't trying early on), so we'll probably be alright.

Honestly, idk why but I do kind of like notDe Gaulle

>>155959680
Pretty likely that hes one of those amateur translators early on but hey, to his credit at least, he either listened to advice or got more people on board to help him with the translations

>>155959680
>and the translator seems like an ESL (or just wasn't trying early on)
English is one of the official languages of Singapore and is the compulsory language that all three officially recognized races have to learn in school on top of their race's mother tongue. So theoretically, he should English and Mandarin as dual first languages.

>>155959710
I don't remember de Gaulle having a stache that thick.

>>155958220
Then why's it bullshit?

>>155959654
His translation contains mistakes not found in Kadokawa Taiwan's translation, but identical to the OCR'd version hosted on the web.

I'm so going to enjoy this wordy and technical series translated by a Taiwanese weeb exchange student recruited from twitter jesus christ

>>155959814
If he lives in Singapore why can't he just waltz down to the nearest Popular and buy the Kadokawa Taiwan version off the shelf? Unless he is a humungous poorfag.

>>155959746
I mean manga scanlation.

>>155959855
Usually, you dont want to translate from a translation

We already get mistranslations in general translating from RAW to a language, this will cause even more of that

>>155959791
But its not bullshit anon, your just silly-ninny who thinks peoples feelings matter during war when they don't, what matters is soldiers doing their job and getting results.

Usually from dipshits who wouldn't know how to defend themselves if their life depended on it.

>>155959907
Wait, weren't he and Nigel already translating from Mandarin anyway?

>>155959760
He didn't. But still, the series set him up as basically being de Gaulle.

>>155959710
he is more of a DeGaul/Petain fuse

late april.

>>155961206
Isn't YP overlord TL's on volume 4 or something while fan translations are at 11-12? even IF YP put out a book every 4 months, that'd almost 3 years before anything new showed up.

>>155962159
That's kind of out of their hands. Most of the time spent in between releases is not spent translating but rather the overhead created by typesetting, printing, QC, distribution, and waiting for approvals at every step. Without all that physical overhead, you can do ludicrous things like J Novel Club's one volume per six weeks schedule for Smartphone.

>>155962820
Yeah, by cutting out physical releases, J-Novel has subsequently cut out the need for typesetting (except on illustrations), printing and distribution.
The fact they release parts of each volume in increments weeks before the final release also means they cut out the cost of QC, as they can just have their users QC for them, practically for negative-cost. Their subscribers literally pay to do a job they would otherwise have to pay a professional for.

>>155938802

So that you get hype when they finally open them

>>155947937
Nigga wtf? I can't speak on Sky's translation of Overlord cause I don't read trash, but his Youjo Senki translation was horrible. Was awkward as hell to read and filled with numerous grammar errors. You can have an extremely accurate translation, but if you destroy the prose and write like google translate, what the hell is the point in reading it? Might as well read a summary. Sky seems like a good guy but if you think he's a competent translator boy are you wrong. I have faith in Yen Press, they put out a stellar translation of Spice and Wolf that I have yet to see any fan translation come even close to sniffing. And needless to say, they could half-ass it and still put up a much better translation than Sky did.

>>155963104
And physical release are also a financial burden because even if they get shipped to shops or e-commerce warehouses they might not sell at all for a long time or some might even get returned at the end.

TokyoPop earned their own downfall for pushing out so much shit that the limited market which wasn't working adults by majority couldn't sustain the overhead costs and niche of niche titles not selling.

Too many titles, some of them with very minor prior fanbase or no fanbase at all and cranking out volume every 8 weeks with ever increasing new licenses.

Digital releases would be a better bet for wildcard licenses of unknown reader base size at start if you ask me. If it sells well then put out a shiny physical edition for premium/hardcover/extras.

>>155963963
>And physical release are also a financial burden because even if they get shipped to shops or e-commerce warehouses they might not sell at all for a long time or some might even get returned at the end.
But I guarantee most people who actually buy LNs aren't willing to pay for a digital version no matter how low the cost.

>>155964020
Yeah for LNs that's another gamble and I can understand their reasoning since I wouldn't either if I didn't have an e-ink reader. I got back into actually buying books after I bought mine 3 years ago.

Unless you're of course some fetishist that gets hard-on from turning pages or smelling leather covers/printing materials.

I have few leather-bound books as collector though and stopped originally buying physical due low interest in english originals and no more shelf space (2 shelves full already).

>>155964020
In my experienced, it's been mixed, really. A lot of people love the nostalgia of holding paper books, while a lot of people find that requiring shelf-space is a dated issue, and just want to be able to read wherever they are.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I find digital convenient, but for books I like, I don't mind showing them off on my shelf and holding open a page. I like to think my moderate side is more common, but what do I know?

>>155949305
Nigga have you read Sky's translation of Youjo Senki? It's fucking awful, when I'm the one pointing out grammar errors and shitty prose, you know you have problems. If Yen Press puts out a shittier translation then Sky did, then there is no hope for Youjo Senki getting a proper translation and you might as well start learning Japanese if you give a shit about translation quality.

>>155963962
>Stellar translation for S&W
You mean completely dropping the archaic way Holo speaks for most of the time? Granted it was a tall order considering there's no easy way to emulate it in English but still that's far from stellar.

I'd give them above average grade since I bought the whole series but no need to say it was the best it could be, especially with the fiasco of that collectors ed chicken scratch font and leather spine that would come off. Luckily I didn't fall for that.

>>155964020
Na, I'd buy digitally if it were the only option. I do like owning a collection and reading something tangible, though. Lately I've been considering getting rid of the majority of my novels and manga and saving physical purchases for my favorite series. There's also the issue of not all publications providing e-book versions too.

>>155963962

>But I guarantee most people who actually buy LNs aren't willing to pay for a digital version no matter how low the cost.
Supposedly JNC are on track with their projections. And there has to be at least some kind of market there or Yen Press wouldn't be bothering with retroactively securing the digital rights for titles like Maou-sama, Index, Spice and Wolf, and Sword Art Online after the physical versions have been out for so long.

Is this show unironically good?

>>155964324
The physical properties of the books don't influence translation quality. Also, archaic? Are you expecting them to put it in Old/Early Modern English? They did a good enough job, you can tell Holo has a different voice that is more sophisticated and knowledgeable than the other characters. Also, if you think Spice and Wolf's translation was above average, boy are you going to be disappointed when you read other light novels. It only goes downhill from here.

>>155964732
>It only goes downhill from here.
I'd argue that Maou-Sama, Black Bullet, Psycome, Goblin Slayer, and The Faraway Paladin have all been really good translations.

>>155961206
At the rate we're going for Youjo Senki releases from Sky we're getting approximately 1 chapter every two months, if that. Every volume aside from 1 has 4 chapters. 4 x 2 is 8, around when YP will release its first volume (maybe, no official release date afaik) with FAR less typos and grammatical errors.

Yeah, I think I can wait for Yen Press's official, PHYSICAL, books.

>YP DOES NOT out source to random fan translators

Shill harder. The translator for rezero was a literal nobody who did the job hiding behind his twitter handle and the result was just unreadable.

Every YP LN I've tried from SAO to Overlord has been uninspired and riddled with errors. To the point that I wouldn't buy a children's coloring book from them anymore.

The translator for Re;Zero has a BA in Asian Cultures and Languages with a concentration in Japanese from the University of Texas, and is qualified at JLPT N1 level. The result reads just fine.

How about preservation? Physical books will yellow over time or get eaten by moths or something, but with digital you can strip off the DRM and make as many copies as you like backed up in multiple places.

Hi, zephyr, maybe you should've studied some English too?

His role as the leader of the Free Republic and his name are pretty transparent.
"de Gaulle" in nip would be "do goru". This guy's name being Lugo (rugo), it's clear they just inverted the syllabs.

Is Youjo Senki even about World War I anymore?

It would be cool if the story was about "what if Schifflen worked, Germany conquered France during WWI" but it doesn't seem that way. We know what happened in World War II, and currently in YS it's World War II tech with mages.

Also, would Tanya trade her Silver Wings medal for two feet and some tits?

>>155968027
It's never truly about WWI, but about Tanya making a living in isekai and hilarity ensues.

>fan translation will die, because "they will arrest me!"
>Yan Press will release a volume or two and will stop
>a second season will never be made anyway

>>155968027

Kaiserreich in World War II is interesting. It's a meritocracy and pretty much the opposite of everything the real-life Third Reich stood for.

>>155968101
This, it takes prolonged "setup" and tech race period as the starter pistol for Tanya's entry into the setting but it was never really about ww2 tech in ww1 and making one country win or change history.
It was all along about how Tanya tries to navigate and secure her long life while being hard headed about her ideals and how certain someone sets her up.

>>155968147
Yen Press can be mocked for all kinds of annoying stuff and not-so-great translator picks but dropping licenses hasn't happened so far so that's a plus.

>>155932243
Same, I would love for a new studio to remake the anime with the manga version character design that follows the mangas pacing but also focus on other characters just like how the anime currently did. I bet if that does happen then the series could become even more popular

>>155967184
>just for the sake of support for authors
>>155965795
>If you want to do charity, then transfer the money or send it by post to them.

And fuck you again.

Buying anything digital is a pinnacle of stupidity. Go to hell, and since this is anime/manga board, take streamer services with you as well on the way there.

>>155969527
So far, all you've said is that it's stupid without offering a single coherent argument as to why that is. You do realize that the DRM for all the major bookstores is utterly trivial to remove?

At least they didn't wait until ten volumes or something were fan translated to kill the fanbase.

And as >>155964882 points out, the sky translation is coming at such a snails pace the the time YP takes before releasing them isn't even a deterrent anymore, it will actually beat the progress on sky's site quite easily once the books start coming out even if the translation on the site were to continue for some reason.

>>155969527
