Its out lads!
>>159030659
Really? Freaking neat, glad that they are still being fast even after bake is finished. Hope novel nise is better than the anime, but this time i have low expectations. Looking forward to neko black and white.
>>159030659
I still need to get Bake part 2. I have the rest just missing that one. How many novels are we getting this year?
>>159032163
Nise part 2 in late August
Neko kuro in late November
Neko shiro in late February
There is also 2nd volume of zaregoto series gonna be translated by vertical in february
>>159032163
With this pacing, I guess Nise 2 and Neko black, so basically the whole novel season 1.
>>159032237
>There is also 2nd volume of zaregoto series gonna be translated by vertical in february
Holy shit, yes. Wish they were faster with Zaregoto, though.
>>159032237
Why so long in between Zaregoto volume one and two?
Does anyone else love the covers Bakemonogatari and onwards? I did not like Kizu's cover but the book was designed nicely. The artwork looks improved on the other releases and I have to say the one with Senjoughara and Snail on the cover is probably my favourite.
>>159032410
Kizu's is my favourite, then there is the one in the OP, that proper background, that pose, and tose colors are really nice. In general they are all great covers, simple and elegant without feeling too serious.
>>159032353
>You'll never have an evening of lewd with Kanbaru then spend the next day snuggled together reading lewd literature
Life is unfair
Fan translations are probably better, I suspect they changed some of its pedo and incest scenes.
>>159032677
that is not really what the series about
you must be basic
>>159032677
The fantranslations for bake/kize/nise were either awful russian>english garbage or non-existent.
Neko Kuro and Shiro are up for pre-order too.
>>159032677
They didn't change anything. Everything is as lewd and violent as it originally was.
>>159032677
Almost all weren't even fantranslated in the first place, and the only fantranslated one that felt like a serious effort was one of the two hitagi crab translations.
>I suspect they changed some of its pedo and incest scenes.
So you didn't read them at all and were just spamming meme.
>Translated Platinum Mad to Dagnabbit Mad
How is it even possible to fuck that up
>>159033284
man, im sad now
>>159035138
Did she say that in karen bee?
>>159035181
dunno, she doesnt say much anyway, so who gives a flying fuck anyway
>>159035181
Yeah, she tells Koyomi the origins of her catchphrase after he got home from being imprisoned by Gahara
>>159035263
>She doesn't say much
In the anime maybe. Her talk in Neko Kuro is longer than the entirety of Hitagi Crab in the LN though
>>159035342
>Yeah, she tells Koyomi the origins of her catchphrase after he got home from being imprisoned by Gahara
Oh, so what >>159033284 said is true and they changed the term because that explanation wouldn't have made sense in english? Still sounds strange, though.
>>159033284
any other shitty localizations in the releases overall?
>>159030659
>the book and anime that KILLS the monogatari series
>>159035693
But the best arcs are in S2 and owari, smug sensei.
>>159035536
She wanted to say she's puchi mukatsuku (a little mad) but changed it to the similiar sounding purachina mukatsuku.
Of course, you can't translate it literally but just changing her catchphrase which is included in her songs and even in the Weiss Schwarz cards is really damn stupid
>>159035547
My Nise copy hasn't arrived yet;_;
>>159030659
Still waiting for my copy. It should be here this time next week.
Which is annoying because I pre-ordered that shit ages ago.
>>159035812
>My Nise copy hasn't arrived yet ;_;
I think he was asking about the previous books.
>>159035761
But none of them are Kino like Bake
All pandering fap bait trash
>>159035881
Ah, sorry
I didn't find anything that was particularly bad. Sure, they dropped the honorifics for stuff like "Big Brother Koyomi" or "my senior Araragi" and Meme's nicknames can sound a little weird (Li'L Ragiko or missy class president) but nothing out of the ordinary really. It was alright I'd say
>>159035972
>But none of them are Kino like Bake
Yeah, the Itamura direction is mediocre or worse, thankfully the arcs I was talking about were good enough to compensate for that.
>All pandering fap bait trash
Just admit that you had dropped the series and have no idea of what you are talking about.
Fuck everything
>>159035972
Dumb bakefag, S2 and Owari have less fanservice than Bake.
>>159036383
DEEP intellectual masterpiece.
>>159036383
I wouldn't say that S2 has less fanservice than bake, kabuki and oni alone have much more fanservice than the entire bake, but arcs like nadeko medusa and hitagi crab have are fanservice free, and owari 1 was 100% serious business.
>>159036507
nadeko medusa and Hitagi End*
>>159036470
That shot and that whole opening were actually pretty disturbing, using that to point out mindless fanservice bait doesn't make sense. Probably shaft thought that Hanekawa's problems were caused by sexual abuses and made the opening in that way to hint that, nekomonogatari wasn't already when they made it and all.
>>159032629
>Life is unfair
I'm fairly happy with not being exposed to BL.
Nah not gonna buy it.
Only brought Kizu because i don't support jew 3 movie splits and shitty adaptions.
I'll buy the other books the anime didn't cover
>>159033127
whats this from
Sankyuu samachan
>>159032813
I hate how the spines don't align.

>>159040627
This got translated?
>>159041012
No, just 2 pages and the other panel.
>>159041166
god dammit.
I hope someone picks it up
>>159032410
>Why so long in between Zaregoto volume one and two?
They were probably waiting to see how the revised Vol. 1 would do. It also doesn't help that they can't depend on the anime to boost sales when it hasn't been licensed. Also, even when Vol. 2 comes out, they'd have to look for someone to actually translate the rest of the books.
>>159038712
>I'll buy the other books the anime didn't cover
So, you're not buying any other books then
>>159040627
Is Zaregoto any good?
>>159041828
Of course it is, go to read the first volume.
>>159041828
I've only read the first two books, but it's pretty good. The second book is insane.
I heard the translation is done by some nobody and it's shitty.
I'll wait.
>>159042153
Actually, here I have only seen people saying the opposite since kizu got released, at most some comments like >>159032677 clearly written by people who didn't read them and just want to parrot the usual "official translations must be bad" meme.
>>159042498
He's talking specifically about Nise, who is done by a different translator.
>>159040232
It's close enough for me. I wish they would've stayed consistent with the color though.
>>159043416
that 4chin rice is faggypost .json link
>>159043416
I hope they'll switch to the blue for a while so it will at least end up as a pattern
>>159038712
3 movies gave me 3 posters though.
>>159046254
Where did you get your frames for your posters? I'm planning on framing my set sometime soon and those frames look pretty nice.
>>159046822
Wall-mart, for all your walls and wall accessories.
