Scanlation group inserts their shitty memes in every other page

Go fuck yourself? who are you to put restriction on art? Yes, manga on itself is an art but cultural adaptation is also one. So shut the fuck up and be grateful that the work isn't just enchanced but also trasnformed and elevated.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of progress.

So learn Japanese if you don't want to read people's free hand out crap.

Yeah, not like it's been done ten thousand times before for years now.

Why are manga readers so ungrateful?

I genuinely didn't mind this. I've seen way worse and this one was fine.
A scanlator who does scanlator for various manga like "The Duke of death and his black maid" constantly asks for money to take care of his sick mother in between the pages.

I mean the message itself still occupies the margins of the page which is the issue with the mock-ee?

>Is the photograph not art?
In your case: no. A reproduction is at most a craft and while it may require a certain set of skills, a simple craftsman doesn't really need artistic talent nowadays. Digital photography is idiotproof.

To further dumb it down for you: you're a glorified typist, nothing more.

Except a fair amount of them aren't doing it for free. They beg for donations at the end of chapters or withhold chapters from mangadex to encourage people to read them on their site so they can collect ad revenue from people too stupid to install adblock. I'd imagine some of the ones who drop series do so because they're not raking in sheckles from them.
So no, a lot of them aren't doing it for free or because it's just a hobby. They're doing it for the sake of making money.

based grandpa showing scanlator bitch who is the boss

>they threw a tantrum
The real people that threw a tantrum were the jaded self-entitled consumers. They aren't fans. They only know how to "want" and tear other people down. They are just mere consumers of anime/manga. They are not fans.

The real fans would include those scanlators helping other fans enjoy the work. The scanlator fans gathered and organized the scanlation workload, discussed the chapters for proper planning, translated, edited, redrew, proofread, and rechecked the work.

I'm guessing you didn't read their scans but that right there is basically what they did. Pretty much every single page has their unfunny commentary slapped between panels. Some of the shit they've done with other series is even more obnoxious. Like there was another one where they replaced one of the character's lines with the Navy Seals pasta and tons of other characters' dialogue with old ass stale memes that only people from Reddit would still find funny. If they were actually fans they'd respect the mangaka's work and translate it as the mangaka intended it to be written instead of trying to rewrite fucking everything just because they think memes that only redditors and teenagers still think are funny.

>scanlator translates a series from gookspeak to english instead of japanese

Hahaahahahahaaha!!!!
Way to contradict yourself.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a WN?

What really annoys the living shit out of me is when scanalators whine when people criticize the quality of their work and insists that they don't need to improve because they're just doing it as hobby. I make maps for Doom as a hobby. You know what I do when I receive criticism for my work? I don't throw a fucking tantrum and insist that it's perfect and that they've got no right to criticize me. I listen to it so I can get better at mapping. The way I see it, if someone has a hobby that they actually give a shit about, they'll work to improve their skills at it, not just sit around leaving it at the same mediocre level of quality.

>if someone has a hobby that they actually give a shit about, they'll work to improve their skills at it, not just sit around leaving it at the same mediocre level of quality.
they don't give a shit about it. that's the simple truth. scanlating is a means to an end to them. they get a desirable discourse position and bolster their meager self-worth in exchange for some lukewarm effort. if they gave a shit about their work, they would treat the manga they are working on with respect.

This never happens. If anything, not enough people whine about release quality, which leads to shitty ESL quality editing and translation being accepted. The only thing people actually whine about is release speed.

Forget who but there's a scanalator who constantly puts requests for donations in the page margins claiming his mother is deathly ill and that he needs donations to take care of her. It's become a joke.

Are a lot of readers shitheads? Yes. But just because translators do a (thankless? debatable, especially considering some hold translations and series hostage) job, doesn't mean they're free from scrutiny.

This implies they're doing it as a hobby. 99% of translators do it for e-peen and a false sense of worth.

Wheew I guess the more obnoxious the watermark the worse the scanlation quality.

It's hilarious that they act like they've got to pay tons of cash for raws too. Just look at this shit. 410 yen, that's less than $4. Pretty much everywhere in the US at least that's less than an hour of fucking minimum wage.

Sometimes that's almost how it seems. I don't remember what it was right now, but I recently read a chapter where the translator/typesetter couldn't even be bothered to keep the names consistent from one page to the next.

Not even a joke, the person who did a lot of the Touhou translations for like 11 years, stopped liking Touhou 7 years prior but kept translating. Then, they dropped a huge rant on how ungrateful people are and 'officially quit.' Many translators don't care that much about the material they do. They do it because they think people care what they think at that point.

I'd say keeping honorifics in a series is pretty important in a series given how important they are in Japanese culture as they help establish characters' relationships with eachother (i.e. whether they're friends, lovers, acquaintances, etc.) since you generally don't address someone by their first name without honorifics there unless you're really close to them.

>When there's a cool one, they're cool.
Bless HnG for their work on Kengan Asura, the daily threads they gave us, and not giving in to childish scene drama.

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>still avoiding the point entirely
a substantial subset of fansubbers and scanlators crave the recognition of professionals, implicitly and explicitly gearing their policies towards what the assume to be the mainline/mainstream translation/localization consensus for US american commercial releases. this is not fucking rocket science. those fucking losers fall over each other with their mental gymnastics to rationalize their latest dumbing down strategy.

meanwhile i'm read a commercial translation of a short story collection by alphonse daudet, "letters from my windmill", and none, absolutely none of the honorifics, none of the french and provencal terms and idioms, none of the cultural remnants and references (even those i do not understand immediately) bother me in the slightest. all of them increase my enjoyment of the short stories and give me a vastly better feeling of the subject matters than some stiff ass localization could. the english-language japanese localization scene has maneuvered itself into a fucking awkward position and the perpetrators have no one to blame but themselves.

>avoiding the point entirely

Assuming that's the actually meaning of the dude's name I'd argue that's an important detail to mention since a lot of characters' names are tied to their personalities and shit. Komi-san is a prime example of that where the characters' names are generally tied to their quirks. The same goes for 1-nen where the MC, Jimi's name sounds like plain/boring and his full name sounds like "plain/boring isn't it?". It's not really the most vital of details and it's not like you're going to be able to understand the story if you don't know it, but it's still a cool thing to know and worth pointing out.

It's a joke, user. Of course I know white Hiro.

Taking a photograph of a statue, unless you're doing something truly transformative, I'd call that more "documenting" or "cataloging" than art
If at some point in the future that statue stops existing, either through its destruction or perhaps being stolen or lost, that photograph will have historic significance because it proves that at one point that statue was there or it did exist etc.
But except under those extraneous circumstances, the photograph doesn't really have any more artistic merit than, say, a history textbook. Of course, if you think a history textbook is an example of high literature, that's a position I invite you to defend, but personally I'm gonna have to strongly disagree.

Buy $25 worth of manga on amazon.jp and it costs at least $40 by the time it gets shipped to me, since they only offer one international shipping option. The shipping fees really add up quickly even if you only order stuff once a month.

My thing is that most series I want to translate are already taken by other groups. I'm not sure how to find these overlooked or dropped gems people keep mentioning.

Try reading Drifters, where a chapter comes out once maybe every three months and the translation group takes 6 months to translate it.

That's where you're wrong, bucko. If your product is so shit that people who get it for free are complaining then maybe the issue is with you.

Translators get an extra page at the end of each chapter for their dumb memes and that should be the extent of it.
On a related note how hard would it be to edit out tn notes? I image that all you really need to do is cover them up with a white box

The last group I can remember that bothered obtaining a physical copy are the guys translating Anjou right now, mainly because they weren't satisfied with the quality of the digital copies. They didn't beg for money to buy it either, they just asked people to be patient while they waited for their copy of volume 3 to arrive.

Wha?

If you did that they'd probably complain to the staff and have it removed (at least on Mangadex). You might be able to get away with it for a chapter or two by changing some words around here and there but they'd probably catch on pretty quickly and do sneaky shit like resize random pages slightly or adding random pixels here and there so they have proof you're using their pages.

I remember when I had just gotten into the scanlation scene I had asked for some contacts on a discord group, where and how to look for some people and all.
I received help, so when someone asked for a critique on a particular aspect of their typesetting I felt compelled to "give back to the community", and I gave my my constructive critique.
I often work with photo book design, so I had some experience even I had never worked on a manga.
After I wrote my comments they got so angry and touchy, and the reason they gave was that they had only asked for advice on a specific aspect of their typesetting while I had critiqued all of it, by doing which I had overstepped my bounds.
They then fished around for some reassurance and concluded that their typesetting was perfectly fine, save for the one aspect he had asked about, and that I was an asshole.

Moral of the story, scanlators rarely want to improve, and are mostly into this for the praise and the (you)s.
