I mean, the first one to be broadcast is also the first in the series right?

Most of them tbh

That feels a bit too scripted haha. Bit unnatural.

Not for long probably. There have been a few other anime that did the same and after the initial hype died down, they dropped below again

I really liked that. While you won't see all the detail, its intention was very clear. To me, it was very impactful

For sure. I just mentioned it since the person I'm replying seemed to say a case already existed.

web browsers

Hasn't something like this happened already? Not sure what platform it was (Android TV maybe?), but I vaguely remember something like that.

Kakao is Korean, but no cases have been issued yet right? Only threats

The standalone list doesn't mention it, but Neko can import the Tachiyomi backup, though only the Mangadex manga of course. It's also actually a Tachiyomi fork and was endorsed by them until Kakao struck AFAIK. Figured it was good to mention.

Tapas sucks. If you want me to buy your stuff, please at least actually sell it to me on Kindle or Kobo instead of making me use a shitty coin system

I use Kobo

Do you need to reinstall the extensions for this? I can't get it to work with TachiyomiSY. Edit: maybe some extra context: TachiyomiSY is still attempting to fetch stuff from the removed repo, even though I've added the new one, so it still fails.

What do you mean newer? And Komga is also still supported

Hmm might switch to the Neko fork then, since I don't think that relies on extensions. Not sure what to do about Bato though

20 hours of fixed overtime? That doesn't sound that good.. Hopefully at least paid overtime on top of the 350,000 yen, but it doesn't sound like it.

Sounds like similar reasons why MAPPA was founded to begin with, but to immediately start demanding overtime is not a good first impression..

Wotakoi!

If it's a same day release they are not doing QA... Short term money grab.

Even if they are doing QA, that's still a short term money grab imo. QA should be one of the final checks, not one of the first. And how the QA process is, is also important. If they only look at the translated version, then they can easily miss the actual mistakes made, because sentences could flow fine, but be entirely wrong. If they have the original text and have to compare, then they probably might as well translate the entire thing themselves, so it's likely the former process. I wouldn't be surprised if QA would be less motivated too if what they had to check, was machine translated.

I don't know the ins and outs, but they're supposedly one of the worse companies to their translators and the actual translations:

Localization is necessary though. I agree that localization can go too far, but most translations have some form of it, because languages have their own unique quirks and nuances, that MTL won't pick up on, losing its meaning or impact in the process. If it's dependent on QA to be good, it's doing it wrong. QA should be the last gate, not the first.

This feels insulting. If there's one thing publishers shouldn't copy from every other scanlator, it's MTL (not saying all scanlation teams do, but there are too many that do). Why the hell would I pay for this.

Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the The Ancient Magus Bride manga in English

Why am I not surprised
