XReaper Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 been wondering already, i mean 5pb is part of mages & also the majority holder of degica, so a possible no-no would´ve been pretty much miraculous to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Rewrite+ was just announced for an official english release: http://anitay.kinja.com/visual-arts-announces-plans-to-release-rewrite-in-the-1778000315 With the anime coming soon, this seemed kinda obvious. the_dive and Eclipsed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Key's announcements were more exciting than any other localizing company's announcements. What is life anymore. At least people will get to experience the visual novel and wash the aftertaste the shitty anime adaptation will leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Well, who knows, maybe the western VN release will be a year away. It would be great if they could get a fast turnaround on this and release it soon after or on the Japanese release day. It's not that infeasible, considering the bulk of the TL is done on both Rewrite and Havest Festa. They just have the new/modified stuff the plus version brings to translate. And yeah, at this point I'm just assuming they're going to use the Ixrec translation as a matter of course. Maybe they'll edit it a little, hopefully?

Nerathim Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 They're definitely going to use Ixrec's translation and that's why people in their right mind should pirate it without questions. It's frankly intolerable that Ixrec's TL is seen as good enough to market it. Key is just too lazy and would do anything for easy money (how surprising) even if they're selling a fantranslation that should remain free. (and I highly doubt they will put much work in editing, if they even do that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 If you don't think Ixrec's translation is worth reading, then don't read it. If you think it is, then pay for it if you can. I'm not sure how you can justify any other argument. Basileus777, Suzu Fanatic, john 'mr. customer' smith and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was about to say something similar xD If you want a product, try and buy it in some manner, if you don’t want a product why bother reading it at all? If translation quality is important to you, and you're presented with a inferior product, why not just pass on it? I don’t read a lot of VNs precisely because they have less than stellar translations. What I don't say is ‘man this translation sucks and as someone who cares about quality, reading this is like sticking a thousand needles into my eyes… but I’m still going to read it all the same like a fucking masochist. Except I'll grab it for free because that will make me feel better when I start crying tears of blood.' MercyZombie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with a bad translation being marketed is that it destroys any hope of having an actual good translation of the VN in the future (unless some really dedicated fantranslator decide to re-translate the VN just for the sake of it). I already read Rewrite and that's precisely because I did that I want the VN to finally have a proper translation. Looks like it was nothing but a pipe dream.

Nosebleed Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The guys who were working on the Angel Beats fan translation have confirmed they're abandoning the project but will release whatever they have as-is:https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/4kiheg/visual_arts_exec_confirms_half_of_angel_beats_1st/d3f7eu0 Must have sucked pretty badly to not even be contacted by Key, considering they had been working on it for a while now, but that's why you don't take chances like this. I hope they find another project to work on in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxel Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hmm, whoa. I thought Key jumped on western train pretty hard with Clannad/LB/Tomoyo After. It looks I was wrong though. Haven't watched AB anime, because VN came out in in Japan, and now it looks like I'll be able to buy and read it in 2017-18, neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, it feels strange they wouldn't notice a project to translate their most recent title, especially because they're fully aware of fan translations for their other titles. Although it is true that the AB fan translation is kind of "underground" in comparison to all the others. They mostly stuck around Reddit (I don't think they had a website). Perhaps this was their fatal flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadeotic Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Well yeah Even in the VNTS, the 'website' marked for the TL project was the google sheet, which you can only access there and the weekly updates on r/vns I did try to raise awareness for this project, but I doubt my efforts were enough, after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
