Don't Let the Catz say Zero! [DLTMS0 v4.0]

I are sad. VIZ Media has threatened Mangastream about their material, so Mangastream is losing their Jump series =/ So long, best Naruto and DGM scanlations I've ever read. *cries in corner*

No more weekly SJ? ;-;

Golden Age of Internetz...

22. Proof that SOPA and PIPA aren't necessary anti-piracy laws.

Though the corporations should be providing alternate means of consumption in more than just the US, Canada, and Japan.

And they should improve the efficiency with what they already do release =/ I seriously don't understand why they don't HIRE or at least capitalize in some way off these fanlation sites instead of trying to shut them down. The fanlators are passionate and amazing at what they do (generally) and are usually more preferred in quality to the "official" releases. It's dumb.

24. They tend to not go after translation teams. They go after the sites that host those scanlations AND run ads on their site to procure a profit, which is the biggest thing they take issue with (people illegally making a profit off of traffic their works generate).

One thing I dislike about both fan translations and publisher translations is the fact that they often forgo grammar or spelling in favor of rushing out the publication. Both sides need to obtain people for their teams to do a final check after the editor looks at it so they can have a better overall presentation.

Viz has Shonen Jump Alpha if you want legal releases of WSJ series. Just accept that you have to pay and it's last week's issue.

Other than OP, Gintama and Bakuman I could never imagine paying for anything in current jump. Saying that is that Isin series good?

I've bought a few SJ series. Mainly like... the first volume of Bleach, and I think I might have bought one volume of Naruto on my own... no wait. No. All the volumes I have in my possession have been given to me, hurrdurr.

Toronto has North America's largest library system so I've never had to pay for any physical manga. o3o

 

[donavannj]

28. I'm aspiring to get a personal library that rivals some smaller public libraries.

 

[A Pixy]

Believe. And you can do ANYTHING Don-o.

I got a headshot today.

As a Pyro.

Was awesome.

If by that Isin series you mean Medaka Box, Lappy, then it's pretty all right. At least it's more intelligent than most others in that genre.

 

[A Pixy]

31

What is this Medaka Box you speak of? What comes out of a Medaka Box? o3o

 

[Pokestick good times.]

32

Suggestions in high school comedy style go in, and out comes a high school fighting manga with original characters, and a gargantuan crapload of dialogue.

And Gainax are animating it!

I guess I'll wait for it to start airing and watch it.....for a couple of weeks before I decide to read ahead. Going to try and read some of the stuff I've been planning to for ages.....

Spoiler:

ANything catch your eyes from that lot? I'm also downloading Kenshin and Kokou no Hitoas i type this.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

34

Prepare for a quite slow Sket-dance-esque mission of the week to begin with then :P

Hm, some of those are pretty good, but nothing absolutely spectacular that catches my eye.

 

[A Pixy]

34

Actually, Dragon Ball caught my eye. A lot. o3o

 

[Pokestick good times.]

35

...Yeah, but Dragonball is Dragonball. Have that in mind.

One of the rare few of that bunch that I've actually started, cartainly more enjoyable than the DBZ eps I caught as a kid.

Detective Conan! ♥

This is going to be another pretty busy day for me. Though today is hopefully going to be more productive than yesterday.
