Seven Seas licensing survey

Go bug them about whatever manga or LNs you want.

I personally told them to go get Antimagic LNs since they're releasing the manga already.

I don't have a twitter account and I'm not planning to get one.

It's a Google Form. You don't need a Twitter account, or a Google account for that matter.

dont need one, retard

Everyone put Qualia the Purple.

Oh boy I can't wait for them to send out DCMA notices while they take 8 years to catch up

Vote for Hakomari. I want a physical copy that I could actually read.

Can they license YKK? Because that desperately needs a localization.

Wasn't is there only one volume of that and is now over?

Yen press already have that.

I wish I could tell them to stick to translation rather than localization.
Hate that shit.

>check their license list
>see LN series that haven't been touched by fan translators
>get hype
>(Manga)
Every time!
I guess manga is a much safer bet and kudos for them for having the balls and taste for a lot of these series, but being a LNfag is sometimes suffering. Still, I can hope that the English LN market expands greatly so that they can release more of them. But with all of this said, I'm legit impressed at the selection even if it's mostly manga. I haven't seen licensed manga/LN lists in years, so my expectations were pretty low.

3 Volumes. It's short but sweet.

There's an option in the survey to tell them you read LNs, so probably answer that. Might give them incentive to print more of J-Novel Club's titles.

Yep, did that as well as recommended 3 LN series that are great and would also probably sell well in English.

Are they one of the worse offenders?

Looking forward to Grimgar and Occult;Nine from them this Summer.

> Occult;Nine
Wasn't the LN canned in favor of a VN coming later?

Only mangas? What a bummer.

You can ask them for LNs too, especially since they have a partnership with J Novel.

And why would I want to stop the translation of the LN I'm following?

Will they fuck off if I ask them to? Will you?

Maybe the translators of the LN you're following are complete shitheads.
Rokka and Grimgar's translations probably deserved to die.

Oh look, another weeaboo who thinks weird stilted sentence structure and "it can't be helped" are good translations.

Has SS ever sent out a DMCA? That's usually Jew Press' deal. SS is just notorious for their meme translations and shitty puns.

Seven Seas isn't a big enough company to eat the cost of licensing an LN, only to have it meander in sales.

>look at me I am so le edgy xD

>usually Jew Press' deal
Even Yen Press is pretty inconsistent about it. They requested a takedown of Haruhi, Spice and Wolf, and Book Girl back in, like, 2010 or something. Then ages and ages later they requested a takedown of Danmachi. Everything else has been voluntary removal, and notably most translations that weren't voluntarily removed have not been C&D'd to death even though a trivial Google search will take you to them (Haruhi volume 10/11 by ultimatemegax, Spice and Wolf Drunken Wolf Translations, Sword Art Online by Tap and defan, Accel World by Burst Linkers, Maou-sama by mittens, ReZero by translation chicken, various fanfics). Just Danmachi was murdered for some reason.

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

Go be a faggot elsewhere.

I think the main problem is that people assume DMCA's sent by Japanese companies are related to unannounced licenses, but that's rarely the case.
They just like to take down a bunch of shit at the same time.

The Japanese side didn't used to care that much, until Kadokawa and Shueisha suddenly threw a shitfit a short while ago.

I put down the manga Soil and Hakomari just for you, user.

Hakomari is a wasted vote, Yen Press announced it a while ago.

I was just going to put down Soil so it matters little to me. I just felt like doing something nice for another user.

Well, it's the thought that counts, as they say.

No, I think it's fucking abominable to translate Rachnee as "Spidey".

Went full Nsio on the requests.
Katanagatari, Maho Shojo Risuka, Boukyaku Tantei

Seven Seas can't license Kodansha series. You'd have to ask Vertical about those.

Damn. I didn't know the politics of the LN world. Vertical are super cautious and slow with their LN releases, which is why I was asking another company to do them in hopes that it'd get them out faster.

Voted pic related.

Asked for more oneshots even though that's not at all Seven Sea's thing. Maybe I'll get real lucky and finally get Ashizuri Suizokukan.

Had the good sense to check on Tongari Boushi no Atelier's publisher so I didn't waste a vote.

Made in Abyss would be really neat, the art is amazing.
