/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I didn't really enjoy this week's episode of IS and it's all because of this Chinky right here. She defecated all over the show.

/jp/ has probably no interest in IS.
/m/ and /a/ would like it though.

any translation is welcomed by /jp/
granted, you'll be ridiculed for your lack of english knowledge, but we all know /jp/s just tsundere

Best anime of the season

That'd be nice thing to do. You'd have my thanks. We could probably teach you some English in the process.

The show is absolute shit.

Literally the worst anime in forever.
I would rather have Zombie translated

>>6851104
i'm not doing this for /m/ and especially /a/

/m/ doesn't like it that much. But /a/ is crazy for it.

...why don't you translate something good instead?
Also, why don't you translate something that doesn't have an anime adaptation, dammit.

would rather want you to translate the manga

I'd welcome it. If it's something you want to do, go for it.

>>6851156 /m/ doesn't like it that much.
I dunno, there's always a 100+ posts thread on the frontpage.
It's full of trolling, but /m/ would watch anything as long as it has some Gundam references.

Just translate the ending and spoil it for Sion.

>>6851262
it's still ongoing

>>6851096
I'd read it if you translated it brother.

The MC ruins any enjoyment I could get out of this anime.

I don't really like IS, but if you do then go for it. Being interested in what you want to work in is really important.

>>6851305

He wasn't so bad until episode 3. Chinky really brought out the worst in him. Houki was a bit of a turd here, too.

Sure, any translation is welcome here.

>>6851351
The pleasure of being cummed inside.

>>6851305
Well, I'm waiting for when he starts tongue wrestling with the girls of his own will, so I can forgive him for now. He's only met the girls recently.

Can someone translate this?

MC and chink get the closest, shit sux

>>6851356
Which part says that?

>>6851305
I like him

>>6851363
I don't mind his denseness since he's actually capable of interacting with the girls.

>>6851367
I just hope he's not as dense as he was in EP3 the rest of the series.

>>6851367
I bet he's gay.

>>6851358

If this is true, that's terrible. Hell, even Freezing is starting to look better than this.

Yes, Freezing.

>>6851380
They probably injected him with something to subdue his hormones. He wouldn't be able to hang around in that skin tight suit otherwise.

>>6851387
Stop being butthurt that your favorite girl is shit

>>6851389
Or pilot a IS

>>6851367
>>6851379
>dense
Typical generic harem shit.
If it was IRL, he would have fuck all 3 of them by now.
Translate something better like nisemonogatari or nisio other non adapted works instead.

>>6851398

No, I don't think I will.

>>6851401
>nisio
That faggot is a hack.

>>6851401
>nisemonogatari
>worthwhile
He should just get to kabuki, no one likes tsubasa and nise was fanservice.
Katana and zaregoto (vol 3 and up) are being translated.

>i'm not doing this for /m/ and especially /a/

You have no idea how much this amuses me, tripfag. Keep up the good work.

>>6851401
>If it was IRL, he would have fuck all 3 of them by now.
Are you retarded? He's only reunited with one of them for a total of two weeks by the 3rd episode. He's only met one of the women 2 weeks ago, and he only saw the Chinese chic 1 week ago. And he's having a case of "just friends" syndrome with his childhood friends.

>>6851480
I would have had them all impregnated by week 2

>>6851096
I usually encourage people to translate what they feel like, no fun in doing something you don't enjoy.

Also, I believe I could love to read them some time in the future as some kind of laid back comedy thing, yet open for suprises. I have gotten the impression that it could turn out to be a pretty chill, yet entertaining read, so I am all for it.

And it could also be a great chance for you to try out your english, so I would encourage you to try.
Also, if you were to get a page open on Bakatsuki for instance, I bet you could get lots of folks who could either help you directly through IRC or something, or otherwise people who could read and help/comment on your translation/english.
I say go for it, if you feel like it. There is really only room for improvement and people would still enjoy your work.

>>6851485
yeah, yeah, internet gigolo. sure you can.

>If it was IRL
>IRL
>mech suits that can only be piloted by women except in the case of one Japanese guy
>His sister is a teacher/dorm supervisor yet he rooms with a girl that wants his cock instead of her

yeah

>>6851480
It's also against school policy, and his sister, who happens to be part of the staff takes it seriously.

But yeah, that sort of stuff is taken seriously in most real single-sex schools/private schools in general.
Most of the time it isn't exactly worth it to screw up your education only to screw someone else rather than waiting some 2 or so more years before crossing the line.

Translations are always welcomed, I would even join you to edit your english as needed.

But there are a couple issues. One, as mentioned before, the choice of work. I would rather get LN translations for something better than IS. Two, are you really willing to put up with such long work for so little reward? Translating is tedious, long work that feels like it will never end. So think it through before you jump into it and then bail after doing the first couple chapters.

Godspeed nonetheless. It's always nice to see someone try to pour their talents back into the board.

We only really care about VN translations here. Just about no one actually bothers with most LNs, especially those that already have anime/manga adaptations.

Chinese to English do not want.

>>6851535
>especially those that already have anime/manga adaptations.
Most of them are shit. The original > adaptation thing still applies, I would expect better of you.

i would like to answer a few things said so far

>why don't you translate something better/something else
as some people here points out, i would like to work on the series i personally very much like which won't get me uninterested after a few weeks or days of work

>it has anime
anime can be seen as advertisements to get people interested to the much better paced light novel, this is the case for me and IS

>work on/with bakatsuki/irc
this site i am familiar with, but i prefer translating alone and releasing my work here up for grabs by any future editor, i just do not wish to be accountable to anyone

>work on manga/some other vn
manga: other people surely picks it up
vn: work too much, time too short
these two i will never do

>put up with little reward, might lose interest
please look at it this way, no matter if i manage to translate everything, or just release 1-2 chapters, this is still better than zero chapter translated. If it becomes inactive, there is always other or myself who might resume after a while.

I'm astonished that there are people who like IS.

>>6851576
>stop liking what I don't like.jpg

>>6851576
I too get confused at the idea of people having different preferences.

>>6851576
What did you expect? Some people have good taste.

>>6851605
>>6851606
>>6851611
Enjoy the most generic harem ever conceived

>>6851619
Way ahead of you

>>6851619
If it's good and fun, it doesn't matter if it's generic.

>>6851574
So you're pretty much just attention whoring?
Fuck you.
Also, seriously, find something that you'll like that doesn't have a translated adaptation of any sorts, and translate that, it would be much more useful to everyone.

OP, i'll edit for you if you want.

>>6851619
Roger, will do, beta-1.

>>6851631
It's not good because its uses too many cliches. And what are cliches? Tropes so overused they've basically lost their meaning or effect.

The show is shit and had you watched enough harems everything about the show would annoy you.

>>6851636
Translating what you like at your own pace is attention whoring? Really?

>>6851638
I mean, I know chinese, so.

>>6851649
Making a thread like this is a definition of attention whoring if I've ever seen one.

>>6851646
That's a problem on your end. I can't see how you could enjoy any eroge or anime if reused archetypes and situations bother you.

>>6851658
I try to avoid ones that overuse certain tropes. One of my list favorite VNs is YMK for that reason

>>6851574
Couple of people in the huge /a/ IS threads have already expressed their interests in translating it and are starting to churn out huge amount of spoilers.

If it was me I wouldn't bother to translate from Chinese, but it's all up to your preference.

>>6851646
Cliches aren't bad in themselves.
At least if you're using them consciously, and not like building blocks to make a story out of because you can't write otherwise, which is what tons of light novel authors and mangaka do.
Didn't watch IS yet, so I don't know which one it is. I can guess, though.

>like building blocks to make a story

Pretty accurate description of IS, at least going by the anime.

/jp/ seems favorable enough
i'll take it up.

>6851657
it can't be helped, everything is attention whoring these days
especially if you're out for opinions.

>>6851509
>>6851638
thank you,
this discussion will be when the chapters is actually released

Takae my money, OP. All of it.

>>6851719
Don't bother. Seriously, this isn't really giving back to this board, more like you're bored and want something to do extra in your time. That kind of whimsical reasoning is just going to leave you angry when these whiners start making demands of you.

The key point to that being, you seem to think /jp/ is any different from /a/. It's not. So save yourself the headache in the future.

Further, LN stuff is /a/ territory, not /jp/.

Translate something better and worthwhile like Zaregoto instead.

>>6851820
>Further, LN stuff is /a/ territory, not /jp/.
But that's wrong. There's a good LN thread about to drop off the board right now, and threads have always popped up here and there.

>>6851820
LN is both /a/ and /jp/. Naturally, it shows up on /a/ due to adaptations. moot (as I recalled) did say LN goes is /jp/'s territory as well. Course, the case is that /jp/ doesn't discuss LN much here, but it's not like it doesn't belong.

>chinese sources to english
Yeah, no. If it was Japanese to English, then that'd nice.

>>6851861
>>6851835
>Make up your fucking minds it's /a/ or it's not /a/.

Almost no Light Novels were translated back then, and they aren't comics, so naturally they fell onto /jp/.
Then the LN anime adaptation trend started though, and it became near impossible to discuss them without turning the board into /a/.
It has been better in recent times though. We just had a long good thread about it for instance, and with minimum as in pretty much no /a/ shit.

>>6851898

A lot of shit actually comes from Chinese translations these days. They're faster at getting out raw material.

>>6851567
The fact of the matter is almost all LNs are unamusing reads in the long run anyways, so the anime suffices enough to give people a general idea of what it is before they shelve it anyhow (if they have good taste). Same could be said for VNs, of course, but at least they tend to be a somewhat more entertaining medium.

>>6851898
Like one Anonymous once said, the Chinese get out translation faster than any English TLs as they love circlejerks, and don't get anything done. I say you just do your stuff, OP. Set up a wiki. We'll help you edit. It's also good that you have somebody who's also fluent in Chinese and English to QC. Lastly, bear with trolls like the Flyable devs.
