>now that Index NT21 is fully translated, it's time to get this back
Wasn't there supposed to be a new Blood Sign volume as well at some point soon-ish?

>>20152419
Let me be hopeful that we'll get a chapter between Index and Blood Sign please.

>>20152244
>Last thread prematurely died, but now that Index NT21 is fully translated, it's time to get this back.
It died because there will be no update until end of november or early december since Blood Sing is coming out.

Also, stop spamming threads for no reason, anyone knows that threads should be made when we get updates or new vols coming out or are you new here?

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4049122103
1160 pages

>>20155219
7 pages more than 2-B.
This is the thickest book yet.

>>20155219
Do we know who’s on the cover yet?

It’s obviously going to be Horizon, but is there a chance of anyone else like ???

>>20159490
The only sensible thing to do would be to have Horizon on the front and Toori on the back.

>>20159516
Nah, should be Kawakami wearing trollface and riding Satoyasu.

>>20160664
That'll be in the inside back of the sleeve.

>>20152244
Thanks for the 6-C epubs. Are there any for 5-B to 6-B?

>>20163954
In the usual place, you should know that by know.

>>20164674
The Bitches mediafire folder only goes up to 5-A. Take pity on this poor foolish anon.

>>20164674
I've also only been able to find the post 5A epubs by links in the thread. If there's a folder link too I would appreciate that.

Thanks!

>>20165015
>>20165622
Wait are the mega files gone? what the fuck?

>>20166193
I'll throw them in a folder when I get home later

>>20166437
Or maybe I'll do it now, the mega app works surprisingly well
https://mega.nz/#F!fxYEEYpA!_tbsNeBz8lQRdDYjz1eXng

Should I read this series? the books are so massive

>>20153215
Well, we got new info an a new chapter translated, seems like the thread was made in a timely manner.

>>20166465
Yes, by all means. But I'd say start with Owari no Chronicle, which is finished. Don't let the size of the books make you afraid, they are actually quite easy to read and never feel too dense. By the time you've read OnC and what's translated of Horizon you'll probably have at least 7A (more if you're a slow reader or don't have much time to read).

>>20165823
Nice

>>20165015
I had been meaning to put the ones I had downloaded into there but haven't gotten around to it.
It's mostly because people stopped dropping stuff into the folder and I guess where they were dropping them eventually got baleted.

>>20166462
Great, thanks a ton.

>>20166462
Much appreciated anon.

>>20159490
It's going to be a group photo. Every significant character gets a pixel each.

>>20159490
We'll know soon enough.

Can somebody please explain to me, what is the fucking deal with 11B on amazon?

Usually there was no problem with getting two a couple of months after release, but this one is worse than third volume of first season, that one with Asama.

Am I to think that I`d better order the last goddamn book the moment it releases or risk not getting it at all?

>>20174045
Sold out but it's getting a reprint as far as I understood it

>>20174054
Why are they still not doing digital releases?

>>20174212
I'm expecting them soonish, honestly.

>>20174045
I have my copies of everything volume 11 (last on pre-order) so no need to get two for scanning in case we don't get digital anytime soon after all.

>>20174282
It`s more of a closure thing, to have it all in physical form.

>>20174628
Yeah, the same thing happened with 11-A actually. It was gone for a while so I decided to order the others day one.

>>20174282
With digital Kimitoasamade coming with the BDbox I wouldn't be surprised if they offer the whole series as ebooks once 11-C is out.

For those who aren't following js06's twitter.

>I finally started reading Kawakami's stories on Kakuyomu and here's a quick description of the first 4:

>1. Kawakami and his friends discussing love with nonhuman fantasy races and inanimate objects.
>2. Fictional college students telling the story of the time one of them wrote a speech on analytics for another to give and (due to a misspelling) had her give a speech on "anal sticks" instead.
>3. The story of a girl who can read minds falling in love for the first time.
>4. Toori and Naruze from Horizon trying to tell the story of the Crane Wife and ending it on a really bad pun.

>>20175971
Huh, I didn't even know js06 had a twitter.

>ending it on a really bad pun

Now all we need is for Masazumi to pop out with an even worse one.

>https://twitter.com/kawakamiminoru/status/1058390359149965312

kawakami please stop, let Satoyasu do his job instead of this, you're going too far.

FIN

>>20210840
>>20211695
That's one hell of a transition in style. They're all now thiccer.

>>20210840
Looking more and more like Kawakami's drawings instead of the usual style I fell in love with.

>>20211958
It`s dem times.
Or maybe there never was a Satoyasu in the first place!

>>20211695
>>20211958
Be careful who you call ugly in middle school...

In all seriousness, while I don't like the direction the proportions and such are going, you can really tell his lighting and colouring skills have improved drastically. Kimitoasamade was his peak tho

>>20210840
>>20211958
Why is that bag looking so familiar?

Any oldfag can point out if you remember what is that bag?

>>20211958
Why I'm getting some "I'll leave everyone and travel around the world" vibes.

>>20210840
Holy shit
Protect that smile

>>20212336
It`s not a bag per se, it is a mounted commander in feudal Japan thing. Easier to see in battle.

Knowing Kawakami though, Toori may well be inside it.

>>20212336
Looks like a green wrapping cloth with a karakusa pattern. Thieves usually have them in JRPGs and such for some reason.

>>20212532
>>20212554
Commander Horizon coming through.

>>20212668
Now I`m wondering if they do commander on deck thing on Musashi.

>>20210840
The head is good, that body is fugly though.

I question the usability of this box

>>20213720
The Horizon box.

Preview when?

>>20214163
In a month, like always.

>>20213720
I guess it's helpful if you don't have any more shelf space.

>>20212721
I miss the clean lines and smooth curves of Satoyasu's earlier work. Lumpy just doesn't appeal to me.

>>20215172
Everyone does, but I dunno this is kinda fishy, I mean why the fuck is Kawakami changing the illustrations by himself and not Satoyasu? Or maybe is satoyasu the one who's willingly changing them?

>>20215945
It's a shame, too, since everything has gotten better except the body proportions. The lighting, the coloring, the poses, the faces, and the backgrounds are all improved.

>>20152244
Posting best girl!

>>20216281
I can't remember
Why they got 2 weapons?
Is this because those defensive?

>>20221521
Nope, you will learn later why they have 2 of them.

>>20223900
This is Naomasa's little sister, right?

I don't get it

>>20230928
Is this a reference to some 80s mecha or something?

>>20231358
Pretty sure it's a Braves reference. The thing on Toori's head reminds me of Guy's headpiece in GaoGaiGar.

>>20152244
That thumbnail looks like she's stroking two big cocks.

>>20231435
Face looks very Guren Lagann to me.

>>20232242
The pose is just a Gainax pose that comes from Gunbuster (and referenced later in Guren Lagann).

Can we start betting on what Kawakami focuses on next since Horizon is finishing up?


i don’t want it to end. I’ve been a horizonfag since 2012 or some shit

>>20235084
My heart says EDGE but my brain says OBSTACLE.

>>20235084
>>20235100
Doubt it will be OBSTACLE, Hexennacht was already obstacle, so I doubt he'll do it so soon. I'm betting on EDGE, since it still has nothing and it's the only missing part.

>>20235084
>>20235100
>>20235122
Just wait until the last volume, just like Hexennacht we're probably gonna get an annoucement on the afterword.

>>20211695
>>20211958
>>20215172
It is a shame that we lost a big part of this aesthetic from Satoyasu, everything else is great but holy fuck dude is kawamami reading too many doujins or what lmao.

>There are newfags defending these abominations on AS
LMAO

>>20236519
>There are newfags defending these abominations on AS
Really? its been a long ass time since I went there, is really that bad?

>>20236519
>>20236535
Ah yeah I saw that but I can't post there because the sperglord of an admin there banned me for posting a summary in a light novel thread.
I saw 3 guys that looks like they lurk here talking about the designs and a horde of retards who don't even know when the art changed trying rto fit in there.

>>20236519
Color-wise, I prefer the current style. But design-wise it got too overboard.

I mean, as much as I like meaty girls, they weren't as meaty originally and I'm pretty sure it's not due to fucking Toori. I'm fine if he wants to make new characters to be that meaty, but keep the proportions of the existing characters the same.

>>20236729
Exactly, we have girls like Kimi or Asama or Mary that are meaty as fuck but they still looks good, the same girls now got ridiculous bodies and we all know that's thanks to kawakami.

What is impressive is how there is people that doesn't even read horizon and have the balls to defend that when even the elevens mentioned that.

>>20236774
Please don't make me sad.

Preview and cover for the bonus novel is up

>>20240591
Jesus christ that disgusting design, what the fuck is wrong with you kawakami.

>>20241018
Because you thought it was fine before?

>>20240608
That's the same novel but with an alt cover in the Bandai store?

>>20241018
What confuses me the most is how much the eyes in this and the 11-C cover resemble kawakami's style. You'd think that under normal circumstances giving the illustrator a general outline of what you want would be enough, but he seems to be rather deeply involved in things he has no business messing with.

>>20241343
Are you retarded or just a newfag? This is happening since a few volumes back, around 9.

Since index got a season 3 and getting other animations does Horizon have a chance to get a season 3?

>>20242263
It`s ending, so no chance.

>>20242263
That was discussed already, and no, not a chance.

>>20240591
Clearly he plans on cornering the doujin market himself

>>20242263
If anything something like an EDGE anime original would probably be more likely at this point
I say 'more likely' but more likely than pretty much 0 is still not a lot

>>20240591
I want Asama with big, realistic sized honkers back

>>20242917
I miss this design so much, she was meaty and big on every place but still a GOOD kind of big, now is too fucking much and doesn't even look good.

https://youtu.be/KeV-_714DNo

>>20241425
We don't really have any proof the style change is due to Kawakami meddling. Satoyasu's style has been changing with every series since he started illustrating.
I think it's possible that Kawakami's draft illustrations have gotten better to the point where they leave less room to the illustrator's imagination though.

It's back up

>>20246312
Other one still 10k more expensive solely for an e-book. Pretty shitty.

>>20240591
>>20244438
It just dawned on me that this is probably what the zbrush model he posted recently was for

>>20246539
10000 jap dollars for a fucking e-book?
What is their end game here?

>>20246744
All other stores have that prices as well. They come with physical bonus goods, though. But none of these are worth 10k either.
The real question is why they're selling the bonus-less one at a 25% discount.

It annoys me that they released a preview for the sidestory and the bit of the new song they also showed during the stream but not the extended version of preview 1.

>>20244438
He sometimes posts his illustration roughs on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/kawakamiminoru/status/1033347383109677058

We usually praise Kawakami for his world building, conflicts, and general madness, but has anyone else noticed how Masazumi has changed since 1-A?

She absolutely didn’t associate with the class and didn’t play along with their jokes. But she’s changed slowly to the point in Volume 6 that she’s playing along with them. And it’s never really pointed out by Kawakami in the writing, it just kinda happens.

Like, that’s development that fiction with a way smaller cast usually fails to accomplish.

>>20249999
TOPKNOT

>>20249999
Kawakami was always good with character progression and the overall group dinamic, it just in Horizon it's more noticable because of length of the story.

>>20250653
I don't know if I found the character development in OnC all that remarkable though, disregarding Sayama and Shinjou's relationship. On the other hand it has been quite some time since I finished it so I might be overlooking some stuff.

>>20249999
It's pretty remarkable how much Masazumi changes. She starts at a bewildered distance from the rest of 3-Plum, unable to follow along with the craziness. But by the time they get to Oushuu, she's fit in enough that it's now up to Yoshy and Ookubo to show confusion at 3-Plum's antics.

Kawakami did something great.

>>20250843
With OnC characters got one arc and then more or less matured, so there's less of the constant progression that we see in Horizon.

Anyone has .azw3 or edited pdf that works good on a Kindle for Horizon 4 and 5?
Whenever I use Calibre, I fuck up everything...

>>20253459
Uh, I only have epubs. Dunno if anyone made pdf of them.

>just now realized Toori played cupid to get Marga and Margot together

>>20253936
Toori does a lot of things that somehow work out really well. His entire shtick is that sometimes he's actually being retarded and sometimes he's just pretending.

>>20254682
I thought the shtick was that it was all pretend.

>>20253459

>>20255131
Thank you

Added a subfolder to the mega
https://mega.nz/#F!fxYEEYpA!_tbsNeBz8lQRdDYjz1eXng

>>20255007
Not really, you can't read this yet but Toori is like 20% a real idiot and 80% someone who hides everything, the weight of other people's desires and pain, and his own problems. Kimi understand that perfectly, same for Horizon. Asama and Nate did it during the progress of the LN but other than that everything reached a peak when he died, that's the real Toori.

>>20256620
Okay, that folder is even better than I expected.
Downloading everything. Thank you so much, anon

>>20256650
Wait, I thought he told Horizon to make him sad so he’d die for some history recreation thing?

>>20257338
Nigga what are you smoking?

After Musashi """died""" while taking down Azuchi, Toori and everyone else went back to the place they used to put all the people on Musashi before the battle, Horizon told him that in a world where she can be happy, having Toori endure all of this and not be allowed to cry is a no-no and that is okay for him to cry. Toori then finally released everything inside him and that's the reason why his contract's punishment activated, dying in the process.

After that Asama managed to keep him on a plane that exist before the afterlife and there you have everything about Izanagi and Izanami's stuff to bring Toori back to life.

>>20263194
Yes.

>>20261383
That's awesome.

>>20263194
Makes me wonder if he's gonna do HO16 or 11-C first since both release on the same day.

>>20271158
HO.

>>20271158
HO16 is probably getting a digital release and 11-C probably isn't, so I'll have a few days to read HO16 before my copy of 11-C arrives.

>>20271859
There may be some Christmas miracle and we get everything Horizon digitally. I hope they finally do it.

>>20272164
I doubt it. Most likely they want everyone to buy the final physical copies before announcing a digital collection in order to sell everything again.

Ded

Gonna be totally honest.

I can’t tell if when a chat handle pops up if that means the characters are talking via text or by visual sign frame.

Like, I’m sure I’ve seen tons of times that have mentioned expression or audio when the dialogue changes to that style.

Can someone clarify for me?

>>20277639
Why do you post like that?

>>20277639
Sign frames support both chat and videoconferencing. The chat handles mean they're using text, but since they'll use chat even when physically in the same location or using video, it can seem like there's both audio and video.

Plus, if you look at the chat sign frames, they come with chibi-form expressions on each line.

>>20279554
Does futurepast twitter issue bans in the name of diversity? And where is Masazumi's blue checkmark?

>>20280583
It's Shinto-operated, so you just have to put censor bars and mosaics everywhere.

And rather than Twitter, this is more like futurepast IRC.

If they value erotica highly in futurepast, how come Futayo still doesn't know what Sex is? Why didn't Toori lent Futayo some of his doujin stash to help her understand better?

>>20283525
Because it's more amusing this way. Toori values entertainment more than anything.

>>20283525
Futayo is retarded, she's only good at fighting so leave it at that.

DEEDDD

>>20283525
They mention several times that it's funnier to keep the gag going.

>>20284711
Don't be mean. Futayo understands that battle, sex, and food are all that's important in life. The troublesome thinking can be left to Masazumi.

What will Masazumi do after Matsudaira conquers the Far East? There aren't any wars after the Tokugawa shogunate is established.

>>20288057
Institute a tax policy or something, I guess?
Or start a new, non historical war.

>>20283525
The reason she doesn't to begin with is because of her parents.
Her father was a warrior and nothing else, barely even a father.
Her mother was a robot that was probably as stone cold when she was properly alive.

As for why she STILL doesn't know, even after being on the highest concentration of perverts in their world for so long, is because the only people that have the gall to teach her, find it too amusing to ruin, and the people that have the heart to correct her, don't have the gall to sit down this bombshell cavewoman and tell her about the future-past birds and the future-past bees.
The only people I think could actually do the task are Turenne or Sakai. One's in France most of the time, and the other is lazy, so good luck with either of them.

>>20288263
Sakai is not lazy in this case, he`s afraid. She will know the meaning of that ass grab.

>>20288471
Still, he'd probably have two or three of the Musashi Captains nearby to explain poses.
Nate-Mama would probably do the poses herself, or try to at least.

>>20289290
Seems nice but I don't even want to imagine importing that.

>>20272995
Well, Dengeki just added their December releases to Bookwalker (including new bundles) and there's nothing Kawakami.

>>20293363
I honestly found them annoying when they were introduced all the way back in volume 3, but they really grew on me over time.

Just asking, blood sign tl is done or still ongoing? just to know when we can get more of V7.

>>20297671
Too lazy to check yourself?

Not to be rude to Js06, but do we actually know how accurate his translations are?

I’m not doubting he’s a good translator but I’m curious if we’re dealing with a 90% accuracy rate or a 99% one.

>>20288057
Abuse the length of time between Sekigahara and the establishment of the Tokugawa Bakufu and the Siege of Osaka Castle to still use war, use any small armed uprising to it's fullest, or ignore/twist the Testament history to serve the needs of the Far East.

>>20298088
He has N1 level you know what that means?

>>20298839
I don’t know the specifics, but it’s the highest level of tested proficiency.

Again, I know he’s good and don’t doubt he’s a good translator. But like I said, are we looking at a 90 or 99% accuracy rating.

The Uneeded are literally the unluckiest people. They deserved better.

>work entire life to inherit name
>get name stolen by time travelers you had no chance of beating
>lose everything you worked for
>time travelers fight Musashi for best way to save everyone from the Apocalypse
>get killed no matter what in the process
>never get to make it to the peaceful world promised by Toori

>>20298088
They're very good. He even does a good job of transferring some of the Japanese puns and humor into English that wouldn't make sense if you just went literally.
That's not to say there aren't some editing errors, but in terms of the translations they're top tier.

>>20299616
>never get to make it to the peaceful world promised by Toori
Wrong, there are uneeded that are actually very important right now and they are able to see the future Musashi is building up right now.

>>20299616
I find them very relatable.

While Js06 is busy I started reading OnC again, man so many fucking memories and nostalgia, still love this LN after all this time.

>>20298707
There's also a whole world out there to conquer. Even though the Tokugawa regime was isolationist, you can always get around that with interpretations.

>>20303430
OnC was great the first time I read it and kept being great every time I reread it. Sayama is still the best MC.

js06, I want to ask you something, (but I almost know the answer already).
When you end Horizon or so, will you translate the Encyclopedia?

>>20288057
Won’t the world be destroyed or whatever happens at the end of a era? We gotta set up OBSTACLE, yeah?

>>20304870
The end of the era doesn't necessarily need to coincide with the end of this series, or the history recreation, or anything.

>>20304914
It’s kinda looking like that’ll happen though, doesn’t it? With Destiny and all, something’s gotta happen when it goes away

>>20288057
Teach children, obviously.

>>20305130
Destiny isn't dying, the way to fix the problem is simple, just let the world go back to normal and keep trying to create the world that wont go to shit, that's the function of Obstacle and that's why on CITY they managed to create the final world.

>>20305430
Right. Teach them to love war.

>>20305430
>Every year, Masazumi-sensei's class tries to conquer the school. And they're just elementary schoolers!

Dont die yet.

>>20306134
What exactly is it about the world that keeps causing problems? In the Horizon world it's destiny, but it seems to have taken countless attempts to finally reach the stable world in CITY. Is it some consequence of contradiction allowance?

Masazumi. Masazumi never changes.

>>20308995
You're not going to understand this if you haven't read anything aside from Horizon.

Basically the Foundation world was destroyed and the people who used to live there tried to recreate that world but it always ends up being destroyed one way or another.

>>20308995
To the extent I understood, the solution reached a the end of OnC wasn't final, so some tens of thousand years later the destruction is approaching again. I think Detroit or some other novel in the City series explain the world better.

>>20317370
I was trying really hard not to think about that.

>>20317370
It's less painful if it's like that from the start. The real shock will be seeing what the current art develops into over another 10 years.

>>20317849
Proper proportions with even more improved shading and coloring skills. We wish.

>>20317370
fuck

>>20317370
I don't know if it is a hot take or whatever but i don't think the weird proportions is that bad. I mean, knowing Kawakami this would have happened sooner or later. Yes, i prefer the OnC and City styles but i guess they are a bit old to Jap readers. I don't know. lol

>>20317370
lol

11-C preview when?

>>20325175
Last time it was one day prior release.

>>20328729
Masazumi is so cute.

Dead

I wish we'd get some mouse POVs. Tsukinowa's would be cute, Michizane's unbearably chuuni, and Hanami's super lewd, I bet.

>>20331913
>we get one of Ohiroshiki’s mouse instead

Masazumi is good.
good is Masazumi.

It's actually finally happening.
You can expect day 1 illustrations on its digital release.

Seems like only the last volume for now, though.

>>20334410
Now that's unexpected.

>>20334410

So the digital release is on the 21st.

>>20334410
Nice
That means there hope for other volumes too

And the listing is down again

>>20334909
Guess someone there made a mistake and put it up too early.

>>20334410
I won't have to take shitty photos then.
That takes half the fun out of it but okay.

>>20335405
The digital release is two weeks late so your photos are still very much appreciated and always great.

You can always take pics of your pants and post them here.

The chapter image looked rather grand for all of three seconds before I noticed Horizon's arms.

>“Master Muneshige! Master Muneshige! You don’t have to add a Muneshige Ranking for each weapon on your site!”

I'm looking forward to how extended this gag will get.

Is it just me or does Marga get a decent more involvement in the plot than Margot?

>>20345058
Looks great.

Slightly bigger textless.

God Fucking Bless.

>>20345058
My body is ready.

>>20347330
How much it cost the box in burger money?

>>20349113
~330 without taxes and shipping.

>>20349124
That's for the special edition though, right?
The one on amazon without the bonus novel is 31k, which should be 270-ish.

>>20349219
Yeah, the special edition is 38,000 (remember that you don't need to pay Jap. tax if you purchase from amazon).
And the normal one is around 28,618 which is ~252 USD.

Is anyone getting collectors boxes, or will the promo novels and art be lost to the ages?

>>20349839
I want to, but I have no money.

>>20349839
Don't worry.

>>20349839
Does any of the stores apart from amazon even do international shipping without a proxy?

>>20349839
I'm getting the Gamers edition.

>>20350014
If you can please focus on scanning the booklets (no need to debind) I'll get rips of the ebook(s) and save us a lot of time.

>>20350032
I'm debinding and scanning it so no need for Bitches to press it against a scanner and damage the book.

>>20350160
I think he means booklets that aren't even bound, so don't need debinding.
But either way, there's no particular hurry. Better to have the people who usually do the work handle it.

>>20350160
With all due respect to your work until now, with access to ebooks you will be free of that extra labour. Ripping the books and setting up fully editable TL docs in a worksheet will take a fraction of the time. The energy can be used for something else. Although it is true that proper paperback scans of illustrations are by far better than ebook rips.

>>20350189
>Better to have the people who usually do the work handle it.
This.

For so many years the usual group of people have worked on this, others trying to help is nice and all that but let the experienced ones do the job, they've done a great work for years and there is no need to change that.

Don't fix what is not broken.

So the scene being shown in the special OVA is when Musashi loses at the end of 10-C, right

>>20350521
I'm just saying it'd be more efficient and a way to free up resources who can work on unscanned projects in the backlog.

>>20350189
Oh, my bad. I also meant only the physical bonus from the whole set like the bonus novel.
I ordered the special edition from amazon so the idea was to post that exclusive store e-book and scan everything that's not getting an e-book. If he is also getting the SE and is willing to share a proper rip of the KFX its gonna save me some cash.
And the next step was to get the animate store bonus via yahoo.

I guess we could discuss this via mail or something so it won't spam the thread.

>>20350869
See above. My new mail since I'm replacing the old one:
Muton1@protonmail.com

We'll have to get Ivan into the conversation as well.

>>20351255
Ivan, you mean sparhawk?

>>20351262
Who? No, I mean Ivan.

>>20350807
Nope, is the opposite, read the summaries.

>>20351262
Ahh I see where you came from, another tourist from animesuki. First Amtro trying to capitalize on Ivan/muton/bitches work and now another one?

Also sparhawk only buys/provide volumes he wants not the ones you request and he has never read anything from kawakami, so please stay on Animesuki amtro or whoever is behind this post.

>>20351262
AP24 is that you?

>>20351369
I am well aware of how sparhawk does things.
And that's not what I meant. You all get the volume and save tens of hours of work, that's it. I want nothing in return, nothing other than to free up resources so the scan backlog gets cleared faster.

>>20351415
Is known that you come from AS, who are you? because if you're amtro you can get the fuck out.

>>20351444
I have no dealings with you. Whatever I'll just drop the chapter the day the ebook comes out and let you all figure out what to do with it.
Not interested in some petty argument.

>>20351457
So yeah, you're Amtro. Seriously why trying again to get in the business of Bitches-Muton and Ivan when they already told you long ago that they don't need you?

Also your reputation is pretty bad, especially because you work with the scum of the translation community, you and your friends asking retarded prices for barely 1 chapter if a 3XX LN, bringing that drama to AS and get other people involved when you get exposed then going back to plebbit and keep the drama going just because you can't handle that fan-translations exist for free.

This is advice for Bitches and the res of the people, stay away from this piece of shit, this guy will bring nothing but problems to you, he already did with Mahouka, Shinmai and other titles, we don't need this here.

>>20351488
You can stop spreading lies now.
Our reputation? You know nothing about CBC's affairs. If anything he's taking on a loss to get the novels translated. Don't tell me you honestly thought 10 dollars for full lifetime access would be enough to cover the translation fees for 4-5 full length novels the 400 page range. All of which will be getting retranslated by an industry veteran A-list translator and a VN fan TL on top of it all. He doesn't flaunt it because he's actually nice and very humble. Some scam we're running, when we're operating in the fucking red.
Now stop pushing your shitty vendetta everywhere you go. I don't know what your issue is with me.
>he already did with Mahouka
I'm sorry, what?

>>20351552
The affairs of you and your group are very well known on 4chan, Plebbit, JCafe and Animesuki. Everyone knows that the quality of the translations you offer for retarded amounts of money are sub-par, I dunno why are you sucking your friend's cock so hard but he's not even average when it comes to translations, even people like nom@n or zxzxzx can do a better job, A-list my ass. You can always stop lying about your "business" when the 10 bucks to access are just for that, getting access, your friend already stated that he randomly increased the prices for their average work on translations because he wanted to screw on the people exposing them, nice and humble you say? yeah sure that's why he even went to /e/ to cry about how everyone was exposing his ass and he even got mad at zxzxzx for doing the same job FOR FREE.

Is quite funny to see you Amtro defendinf your friends so much when all of you are the cancer of the translation community, even worse than Aereus or PROzess, reaching the point of scamming retards who are desperate to read something and claiming that you're good when people like JS06 who are the best of the best don't even ask for a dime for their job.

How fucking desperate are you to try getting into Muton/Bitches/Ivan/Js06 work to get credit from what they've been doing for years, like holy shit get some self-respect, get on your little head that they don't need you,

Quite sad that they don't know much about you but a little research will show them the cancer you and your friends are, go back to """"""translate""""""" shitty light novels instead of trying to steal the work the guys are doing with Kawakami's light novels you subhuman piece of shit.

>>20351488
>Amtro
I remember that anon from months ago getting mad for some drama and stuff like that after he was told to not get into this.
well here we go again it seems @Bitches & !Whores/8sg can you lend a hand here please?

What the fuck happened after I left.

>>20352067
Guy who samefags a lot and gets banned for starting shit everywhere he goes, started shit. I'd show you the gloating emails he sends me, or the idiotic fucking arguments he starts pretending not to be himself when he gets found out, but don't want to derail the thread any further.

>>20352067
Remember some threads ago a random guy started to say "hey i can move my connections and get the volumes for you but I want a piece of the cake" and you told him is not needed but also corrected him because he randomly tried to get his nose in your work? Yeah well, thats Antro, the same retard that now got caught by his own lies, you can go ahead and ask about how he ruined lots of other LNs, go and ask on Mahouka discord, or JCafe, or even on Mahouka and shinmai threads in animesuki, jesus you can even ask the mods and admin there about what happened with him.

Bitches you're making the biggest mistake of your life by letting this scammer into your group I hope you're ready to throw years of work to the trash because amtro and his friends are going to steal your work just like they did with Shinmai and Mahouka.

I don't even know who is that guy but whatever.
I'm just saying you're killing the thread with this kind of dramas.
It's okay if you want to warn bitches and Ivan about that guy, but a lot of kawakami threads already died because of this.

>>20353401
>A lot of threads
Only one thread and that happened because Amtro got BTFO in that thread but he never gave up resorting to shitposting until he was purged and the next thread was nice, like nothing happened.

>I'm just saying you're killing the thread with this kind of dramas.
>You're
Oh I see you're falseflagging amtro, try again sweetie.

>>20353147
>but I want a piece of the cake
Never said that. The only benefit for me in providing raws is speeding things up. That has always been the case. I help because I want to read these novels and wanting to give something back. Ask nom@n, ask zxzxzx, ask Ariel or any of the other TLers associated with any of the translation efforts I've helped. Many you don't even know of. Shelled out 50k yen total to get DxD side stories out. Scans out only a few days after the BDs came out in Japan.
>you can go ahead and ask about how he ruined lots of other LNs, go and ask on Mahouka discord
I run the fucking mahouka translation group and the reason why shit went to hell with the wikia is because the asshat admin was power tripping and being a nepotist asshole after a vote of confindence among the mods, nearly half of us left. If you only knew the bullshit I've had to deal with to keep the translations going. Ever had to edit a 120 page word document translation in one day? I have, to keep a promise to the group and the fans to not delay releases.
>JCafe
Discussion died because they made mahouka into its own subforum
>and shinmai threads in animesuki
Yes, because I didn't keep that damn thread alive for years with spoilers and scans. Consider the fact that almost all the info you get comes through me and CBC. See who actually posts with new info every time there is a new release.
>jesus you can even ask the mods and admin there about what happened with him.
Funny how you're banned on several accounts and IPs and I'm not.
>>20353428
Fucking kill yourself. You're always the one starting this shit.

>>20353476
>That has always been the case. I help because I want to read these novels and wanting to give something back.
No you don't, you just want to steal the credit of the work other people do like you and your friends always so, in fact that's the main reason why the Mahouka community have your ass banned, you don't even know basic japanese retard, in fact lemme remind you that you sucked my dick on Shinmai threads to help you translating stuff because you couldn't even understand what was going on or provide context, then the same shit happened on Hundred thread but this time in public but of course you got salty because other person was debunking your shitty translation that's even worse than google translator stuff.

Also you have NEVER read anything from kawakami, absolutely nothing, not a single page of OnC/Horizon/CITY. All what you did is pretending to know shit in these threads after reading the spoilers from Js06 without even understanding the context or why those things happened, you got exposed because of that and we got another one of your meltdowns. In fact you even went to Animesuki and ask for info on Kawakami thread, ironically you didn't even knew you were asking me for that, fucking retard.

Another thing that you need to remember is that YOU have the fault of Shinmai thread getting more than 40 pages deleted, the thread being closed by the mods and making them constantly keeping an eye on it, you always bring the translation drama to that place, you never provide information or scans, nothing. The only people providing info were the randoms there like AB, AP24, ZX, Ivannomm and others, in fact you couldn't even read these volumes you liar piece of shit.

See Bitches? this is the person you want working with you?

>>20353534

>>20352055
>>20351965
Sorry, that was a bad explanation from my part.

Unlike malga and naruze which is something that feels natural on Hexennacht we get something that feels forced, sure go ahead and slap the common lesbian magical girl cliche, but at least give it proper execution.

That's the problem with kagami and not!asama's relationship.

>>20354711
Welp, I only read Hexen for Hunter (and Fleur, but she was so poor developed as character).
It was a fun trip, but underwhelming compared with Horizon, Owari and City.

>>20354711
>>20354952
Hexen feels like a secondary project, because that was exactly what it was.

>>20354965
Yeah, but even if it's a secondary project, it feels so rushed.

>>20354965
>>20354991
Even more than rushed, it feels like Kawakami was thinking "should I do this? should I add this? what can I do with X character?".

It wasn't bad compared to your standard light novel but for Kawakami's standards it was almost below average. What pissed me off the most was how every single fight was overhyped and we ended with every single one of them being jobbers.

>>20355027
I must say, Hexen as an anime must be epic as fuck with those battles.

>>20355027
Are you for real? Adversaries launching their shit around half the planet is the antithesis of jobberism.

>>20355053
This.

>>20355076
Nope, you dont understand.

Usually when it comes to kawakami and battles what you get (and this comes from all his previous titles) is a build-up, a preparation, then the fight where you don't know if the protagonist or his friends are going to win and then the outcome. You can cleary see this on Owari no Chronicle, on CITY and Horizon, not a single fight on any of those titles included a jobber, in fact there is a strong reason behind any character that is extremely powerful to lose a fight on purpose.

What do you have in Hexenacht is a build-up for the fight, an incredibly huge hype for these fights, especially because on every volume kawakami took a lot of time doing this, then the fight and the most cliche and obvious outcome, Kagami winning against the most powerful beings in the planet because she's mary sue, rinse and repeat.

That's not quality writing, that's just a fanfiction.

>>20355330
>Constraints of the format and genre.
So you havent read anything I see. Is not even about format and genre, because if that was the reason for what happened with Hexe then why City was so good despite it's obvious flaws?

As I said Hexennacht isn't bad if you compare it to the normal 300-400 pages light novel but is nowhere near the standards of Kawakami and it shows.

unf, do Horizons have Priestess as classes?

I think I haven't seen one in the psp game and the mobage but it would be a nice too see his image of FuturePast Nun, like Asama, Mary, Kimi, Nate and Futayo wearing it would be nice...

>>20355870
Shinto isn’t very strict, but I can’t imagine going Catholic on the Musashi would go terribly well.

>>20355870
The nearest thing like a priestess in Horizon is something like Marga's job.

>>20356129
Wouldn’t a witch be the absolute opposite of a nun?

Speaking of commissions, is Mary-anon still planning on getting art of Futayo, right?

Also sharing an HD version of an old Futayo commission, the artist no longer makes threads on /i/ and his tumblr is soon to be kill thanks to the changes on Tumblr.

Vanilla sex and anal is always nice, I'm also in the mood for erotic massage like https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=parent%3A2276398 , I just can't get enough of her flustered/confused expressions.

I think she also needs more art wearing her comfy sleepwear https://imgur.com/a/Lhy1p.. I'm happy with anything, if my ideas not good, I'm cool with yours.
