Decay Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Just thought I would share this with all of the people who downed on the idea of fan translating Angel Beats 1st Beat https://forum.kazamatsuri.org/t/angel-beats-1st-beat-translation/1197 I'm willing to bet that the entire Angel Beats VN gets fan TLed before Sekai Project sets their sights on it I don't understand why people insist on doing this. Such a waste of effort and talent that could go towards something that won't get translated by someone else no matter what. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a waste of effort and talent that could go towards something that won't get translated by someone else no matter what. Oh well. I just don't think that saying "this is going to get an official localization someday" is enough to deter fan translators from picking up a project that they are interested in. If its something that they enjoy doing, nobody has the right to say its a waste of effort. Mr Poltroon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much hype when there are relatively better untranslated ones out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much hype when there are relatively better untranslated ones out there Because "muh key virsuel nervels", obviously. Doesn't matter how good a VN is if only 1 person read it and can't convince anyone else to do the same. It's as much about popularity as it is about quality.

hsmsful Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 He says about the yet to be released VN. I didn't mean that it is actually better since I didn't read it and I won't judge by the anime but lemme say something else: why would people be so keen on translating something like angel beats which is not fully released yet (according to what I understand, I might be ignorant thou) and I guess if I am right, then as Flutterz said : it's popularity rather than quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging quality is done after. I can easily finish an anime or VN which I've hyped in a day or two, but stuff recommended to me as "a masterpiece" but that I don't think will be that great can be much harder to enjoy. Basically, hype's a really good seasoning. Though it can also ruin your experience if the VN is genuinely bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decay Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Was Kud Wafter that bad? It certainly has a poor rating on VNDB, and that's counting the Key fanboy blind votes. I guess that makes it seem pretty bad. On a related note, I just deleted the Kud Wafter translation entry from VNDB because that project is dead as hell.

Chuee Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Well, let's just say that they brought it on themselves if they end up getting served with a cease and desist order. Though on a more serious note, can SP even legitimately send one to them without the license which they obviously don't have at the moment? Oh and from what I've heard of Kud Wafter it's just a bunch of h-scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My law degree is from Wikipedia University, but I'm pretty sure they can't. They can send a warning that they'll send a C&D I think, but once again, Wikipedia University.

Decay Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 They cannot, but if they're pursuing a license then they'll issue one as soon as they get it. DC3 got a C&D after the entire common route was translated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and from what I've heard of Kud Wafter it's just a bunch of h-scenes. no they cant, BUT considering their partnership with key & therefore beeing interested in their games, which also includes the newest title(s), i wouldnt be surprised if they inform key about some ongoing halflegal fantl project, which might endanger their own future plans in licensing said game & as a result urging them to c&d whichever fan group directly. i mean buiseness is war & you have to take whatever measures to ensure your companies success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuee Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah, that's what I thought. We'll just have to see how things play out once the full game comes out, though it seems likely it'll get translated at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppel222 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Let me rephrase that; are they the people who's going to spend their time to decrypt those moonrunes into alphabetic letters. I can't say that it's a waste of talent if they love that they're doing and being serious about it. Heizei_koukousei 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
