Not sure if you guys are aware but it seems /a/ is dead set on translating every untranslated prison school chapter and putting it in a pastebin.

Going over it myself. 4chan /a/ putting work. lol at one of the tls questioning why MT is struggling.

161-165 has been translated it seems.

Sometimes I wondered whether I should enter the scanlation scene myself.
But then I realize I am better off just buying the Author's manga and support that person directly.

Though I always thought, if I ever start a scanlation crew, any time I ask for donations, it will be strictly to buy manga of w/e I'm scanlating and donating each to a public library.

...what kind of post is this, am I on Neogaf or LiveJournal?

I am a weird person it seems.

Or you could just do mangas that have been dropped by scanlators.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";157205770]Fuck anyone that asks for donations as a scanlator. Seriously. Fuck every single one of those scum.[/QUOTE]
I agree. Do you know what scanlators actually do with the donation money that they get?

As a former fansubber with some familiarity with some crews, I can tell you that 70%-90% are not for server costs or buying magazines or volumes to scanlate. you believe that load of bs then I got 20 bridges to sell to you. even give you a 10% discount if you buy a minimum of 5 bridges. and if you purchase 10, I'll throw in another bridge, absolutely free*

*while supplies last.

Elizabeth from Seven Deadly Sins is so close of becoming the worst female manga character ever, with One Piece's Rebecca's tailing at the second position.

It seems like her only role is just to weep Meliodas Meliodas all the time or to serve as fanservice center or be helplessly protected/loved by bla bla bla boring.

who knows she could get some character development later on

she does have that healing power


Edit: And... Spoiler:
if she indeed is the reincarnation of Liz then maybe a personality change too

I know one who actually bought something from a billy mays program with donated money.
often, donation money is used for personal shit. Pizza or various snacks. Not often the tl or typesetter/cleaner actually get paid but when they do, its usually to keep them from abandoning project.

I know some actually use money to collect better raw source material or pay for website if not on wordpress but peeps like those are rare. And idiots in regards to katter should just use wordpress or blogspot instead. Why burn cash on a website? Idiots.
 
Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san 1-4

A cute little anime about a girl who eats a fuckton of ramen. If nothing else this got me in the mood for ramen, so off to the ramen place after classes tomorrow.

Comiket Special 6 Otaku Summit catalog:
(You need to create a free account to access it.)

Day 1:
https://cs6-day1-webcatalog.circle.ms/

Man there's still a lot of Touhou That's pretty impressive. I just noticed that it's easier for me to recognize music circles than h-works ones. That's... kind of sad? Either way, that's more of panda's and Lele's domain.

I spot Kirintei (木鈴亭) in Block D (D44a), though it seems like their doujinshi will be an Idolmaster one. Eh, not really interested by it.

Oooh Behind Moon in Block F (F18b)! I wonder if the next installment of Dulce Report II will be there? It'll probably be either another Recycle or that new crossdressing book though.

Lots of buildings, cars, subways and trains pics in Block J for some reason...

Day 2:
https://cs6-day2-webcatalog.circle.ms/

Seems like Day 2 is more Kancolle-oriented. Not sure if it surpasses Touhou this time too though (but it looks like it does).

Well, nothing really interesting for Day 2. A lot more doujinshis than Day 1 though. You got Kancolle, Touhou, Jojo, Detective Conan, Free!, Haikyuu, Tokyo Ghoul and stuff like that.

No ShindoL this time. Aw.

Also, I just learned that there was a Kuroket as well. Wut. KnB is that popular?

Thanks for your investigation, seems like I'll just spend most of my time wondering around looking for interesting works then.

And apparently KnB is pretty popular yeah, I think I see a lot of them in UFO machines.

Final scores for #BestNisekoi

#TeamChitoge: 1,590
#TeamOnodera: 721
#TeamTsugumi: 331
#TeamMarika: 196
#TeamHaru: 157

Confirmation that Chitoge > the entire rest of the cast combined.

No excuse for Marika.

I did my part anyway.

Join #TeamHaru if:
You'd rather play as Luigis

Well that explains a lot.

Awesome bag you got there. How was AnimeJapan?

Also how busy were the Shokugeki no Soma, Tokyo Ghoul, Prison School, and Gintama booths if you went to any of them?

Pretty fun I'd say, though probably one day would had it been enough (if not for the GL on open theater I would had probably only had went on Saturday).

Shokugeki no Soma had sort of two booths, one in one of the halls where they had one or two cosplay ladies giivng out flyers, and another with cosplayers to take pictures off, the second of which was in general pretty empty.

Tokyo Ghoul one I only noticed on the second day, it seemed to have a small line to take pictures with a Gourmet cosplayer, and a bigger line when it was Kaneki and Gourmet cosplayer later on, though there was quite a line to get the bag with Tokyo Ghoul in it (It also had some other anime on the other side, no idea if that one was popular too), my coworker said he waited for an hour on the line to get the bag, I probably waited 15-20 minutes myself.

Gintama was pretty popular, they had a Gintama booth with cosplayers right next to Soma cosplaybooth, and it always had a line of people to take pictures.

Prison School was just that giant banner and TV with the teaser on it, no one was really paying to it to be honest, lots of people walking by without giving it a second though.

Yeah but half a Comiket? Has there been some precedence to this?

Aw that's a shame. Well, the anime ought to increase readership if it's decent at least.

I don't care about where the money goes, I don't think translating pirated material is work that deserves to be paid for to begin with.

I really hope you never read ANN or any sort of site that grabs content from Japanese magazines for profit.
