So, it seems Americans finally started officially publishing

You must be blind.

Learn nip and import the novels.

Senpai this is the sixth Monogatari thread, stop.
The novels have been released since like start of the year, probably a bit earlier.
Also, are you fucking retarded?

I'm just gonna save you the trouble and say that Platinum Mad was translated as Dagnabbit Mad.

It's also a perfectly fine translation but you know how people on /a/ feel about any type of localization, whether it be good or bad.

>>161214922
>Dagnabbit Mad.
What the fuck does that even mean? I mean I understand if they thought "platinum mad" might be too quirky for American normies to understand, but how is "I am dagnabbit mad" better?

The original pun was puchi mukatsuku (slightly mad) to purachina mukatsuku (platinum mad).

The pun is that while it sounds like she's really mad(platinum mad), she's actually just slightly mad. Not as mad she makes it out to be.

Dagnabbit mad is basically the same pun.

Dagnabbit mad sounds like an exaggerated amount of mad. But actually, she's just dagn "a bit" mad.

It's pretty clever all things considered but /a/ will ignore this while refusing to come up with a better alternative and shitposting about it.

Still though, "dagnabbit" is a corruption of "god damnit". So all of her platinum expressions "platinum mad", "platinum sad", etc.. sound just extremely weird and not in a quirky way.

The whole reason she says "platinum mad" is because it's a pun for "kinda mad".

I'm so fucking platinum mad right now!

Vertical is working directly with Nisio's editor on these just so you know. Nisio's editor also picked the translators. They've all been perfectly fine so far.

>>161215182
Your post is a better alternative.

>>161216436
That's what I was actually thinking. Like just go full fourth wall breaking. It fits with the Nisio's writing anyway.

My only problem then that its not a translation or even a localization. You're just adding a reference to appease autists that can't handle a phrase change.

>>161215182
How about dag-mad-it?

>>161215182
maybe if this was the 1940's it would have been more obvious

For Kizu I know the translator was hand picked by Nisio, from what I hear he didn't translate Nise. He's suppose to be doing Neko though. Not sure if he did Bake

>>161213286
You're a year late faggot. There's like 5 books out already.

>>161218567
The kizu translator also did bake, they only changed it for nise.

I meant to thank anons for revealing this. Saved me spending any money on this trash.

>>161215182
What's wrong with a foot note?

>>161221421
Why did they change the translator for nise?

>>161222799
Looks like they're trying to ramp up the release speed. The Nise guy is not a replacement translator, he's an additional one.

>>161222799

1. To get books out faster?
2. To let that poor bastard have a holiday?

>>161214979
>normies
Fuck off, crossboarder.

>>161222739
A proper translation should flow and be understood by people of the new language without extra reading. Someone should just be able to read the main text itself, and get it. This isn't always realistic, but it's an ideal which all professional translators strive to achieve.

>>161214922
Also worth noting a different translator worked on this one from the previous books.

>Nisio releases a new Monogatari volume every 6 months
>Vertical release a new translated volume every 3 months
>the English translation will catch up to the Japanese release eventually.
That will be a surreal day.

They're also releasing Zaregoto, but at an incredibly slow pace.

>>161224435
They're releasing book 2 a year after book 1, which what they did with Kizu and Bake as well, then picked up the pace when Monogatari showed it could sell. Hopefully Zaregoto will do the same.
