Thank you for the guide. But then i need to hold the phone horizontally for all pages which is stupid :(
So, it isn't an issue of edgy-ness for me. It's an issue of "talking like actual human beings." For example, the latest chapter of Chainsaw man Denji saying he was "Living his best life" in the pirated version, while in the Vis version had him saying "He was living a wonderful life." In the context used, the former made much more sense. Also, Vis goes in way to hard with weird fonts.
As far as M+ goes: I dislike having to constantly make accounts for things, so that's not a benefit for Vis for me.
Again, another issue with Vis; they seem to often be overly literal with their translations.
Sometimes things don't translate perfectly 100%; all you can do is try and figure out what the character would say if they spoke English. Trying Frankienstein the names together just makes just gives you the worst of both world while missing the point.
I really hate there is no landscape view on either of these apps. I have a big ass phone and want to use the entire screen. I I know viz does 2 page landscape but it makes everything so small and it still doesn't use the whole screen. Thank God I switch buildings at work so I can read them off the websites now. I guess
Mod post - concerning scan groups
Ironically, there needs to be a company that does for manga translations what Crunchyroll did for anime translations.
What's sad is that CR's manga has been the lowest priority of their service since their new owners, because I've found a ton of hidden gems with some really unique ideas on it. It runs ok on my Kindle for the most part, but some of their short 5ish volume series have been pretty interesting, along with a few ongoing series.
Same here.
Really appreciate the hard work, specially because as with everything else, in southamerica we didn't have access to the weekly chapters or even the volumes ten years ago.
And yet for a lot of people the only possible access to the weekly series. This attitude is so rude and reeks of privilege.
People won't even pay the ridiculously low price of 1.99 per month for the Shonen Jump archives (actually, I have no idea, but it doesn't seem like the service is just doing blockbuster numbers or anything). In fact, they are giving out chapters day and date with the Japanese release and there are still people complaining because they prefer the scans. So I'm not sure how feasible a Crunchyroll for manga would be.
See here I am thinking that half a year turnaround time on print-licensing stories I've read through the greymarket is the speed of motherfucking light. At least we're getting that shit, anyway.
VIZ going after hosters too. DMCA subpoena awarded, the site owners names can be divulged.
