The reaction of Sankaku Complex users to the scathing comments of 2ch on the recent closure of One Manga has found its way back to 2ch and incited an even more biting response.
Their response to the closure of One Manga and the impudent reaction of Sankaku Complex users angry at having to use more inconvenient sources of pirated manga filled scores of threads across 2ch, and was soon picked up by any number of 2ch-centric sites.
A representative selection of their comments is translated below:
“You lot are always begging ‘give us the zip! give us the zip!’ – why is it now you suddenly start acting like you’re normal?”
“Oh come on, this is a fantastic business chance for publishers. If they don’t go for commercial digital distribution now they really are finished.”
“In America the censorship regime makes them change cigarettes into candy! How many mangaka and publishers are there interested in making that level of change!?”
“I was reading the latest Naruto in the convenience store – are the foreigners jealous of me? Forgive me, Sasuke…”
“‘We want to buy but we can’t! We’re making manga popular the world over!’ Die.”
“Just buy it and read you dirty misers!”
“Do these people feel any sense of guilt over what they’re doing to creators?”
“Serves you right, foreigners! It makes no sense at all for these manga to be available on the net in English first. Stop enjoying them before us Japanese even get them!”
“You guys sound pretty intellectual translated into English, don’t you now?”
“‘Ha Ha Ha – Serves you right!’ – someone translate this and tell it to them.”
“Pirates really do think the same the world over.”
“Impudent thieves.”
“‘Foreigner 1: Do all Japanese hate foreigners? Or is it just a minority? Or just 2ch?
Foreigner 2: Japs hate us all. Even the babies!
Foreigner 3: 2ch is how the majority of Japs think. They are polite in front of others, but behind your back they are secretly insulting you. Japs are xenophobes!’Pretty amazing that they go this far to dress themselves up as victims.”
“It seems people on the Internet always develop these persecution complexes – whatever the country.”
“‘Foreigner 4: 2ch is not representative of all Japanese! I like Japan.
Foreigner 5: Sorry. I like Japan too. The Japanese are just angry that we’re ripping them off.
Foreigner 6: 2ch is the scum of Japan.’The guys who understand really do understand!”
“Foreigner 6 – you are a genius.”
“‘Those Jump buyers are complete tools for waiting – hurry up and give us the zip!’
‘I don’t want to buy Jump just for One Piece. I’m glad they get uploaded at the same time as its release. I can keep up with what’s happening in this thread too.’
‘In this damn heat I don’t want to go out and read Jump – hurry up with the zip!’
‘It may only be $2 but it’s a nuisance once you’ve read it. Why won’t they just sell us One Piece without the rest?’
This is from 2ch’s Shonen Jump board.”
“Maybe this thread will be translated and become an article over there? Are you reading foreigners? If you want to read manga, be sure to learn Japanese!”
“With the market for digital manga coming up, these illegal sites are no good any more. Rawpara made $30,000, how much were those guys making…”
“Read your own country’s comics, bastards.”
“It’s a real mystery to me why these damn foreigners can’t get over the fact that you can’t just be reading all this stuff for free on a website.”
“Manga overseas costs $10 a volume though – way too much.”
“But American comics cost a fortune in Japan too…”
“It really is expensive over there. In spite of the fact the paper is shoddy rubbish…”
“Even the guys reading manga are always going on about JAP this and JAP that. Just liking manga doesn’t mean you like Japanese, I see. Japanese are really despised aren’t they?”
“Foreigners are just greedy swine by nature – that’s why they think manga is free.”
“I looked at the responses of the Sankaku inhabitants (not that I’m lumping them together with all foreigners) – pretty amazing.
It’s expensive, 99% of manga is crap, it’s translated because Japanese are uploading it, because they ripped off western culture – their excuses were all on that level. The worst ones are the ones going on about racism or xenophobia though.”
“You hairy foreigners should shut up and wait for your own great mangaka.”
“Compared to Japan and its complete absence of a digital publication market, isn’t consciousness about this much higher over there? Amazon have Kindle and stuff…”
“There are already all kinds of pirated manga on the American Kindle. They’re a real pack of thieves.”
“If all manga fans the world over start thinking manga=free, the manga industry is finished.”
“Even in Japan a lot of young people think that, about games and music too. I hope they really crack down on these sites.”
“Why do these foreigners act so high and mighty when they are reading for free?”
“This reminds me of that damn Rapelay fiasco.”
“Thanks to that we got worked over. Seriously, die you filthy foreign scum.”
“1. Foreigners pirate our manga and develop a taste for it.
2. Foreign big-wigs say ‘This content is violent! Ban it, Japan!’
This is a real problem. If publishers adapt their publications to foreign markets then OK, but just translating the original and spreading it amongst foreigners is a problem!
Do you understand this you dirty foreign scum?”
“Don’t those white pigs comprehend the concept of a thief being ashamed of being caught?”
“Blaming the victims of your own crimes, shifting responsibility to anyone else but you, justifying your own criminality. Total scum, every last one of them.”

Amusing, every time I read stuff about 2ch.
Yeah I agree full of BullShit! Onemanga down and 100 plus more manga site to go...Beeeeeeeeeeee :-P
Most manga I've read is online. I probably wouldn't have purchased any manga without that exposure. I preview, then buy my faves.
Taking down sites will just prevent future generations from reading/taking an interest in/buying manga.
The problem is that those who grow with the "free beer" mentality that makes them assume they own (or are somehow entitled to have) anything made for the public to use.
Dude, post something about Japanese people in /b/ and you'll get the same thing, just vice-versa, people are people everywhere, it's pirating, there's no reason to be mad, it was good while it lasted, piracy is not dead, get over it.
Some comments were really laugh worthy though, nice.
Yo dog, I heard you like to troll. So we put Jap trolls, in your Sankaku, so you can troll while you get trolled!
Taking down the websites won't "prevent future generations from reading/taking an interest in/buying manga". All it will do is force the people who read it for free either A: go somewhere else to pirate it, B: go to Borders/Barnes and Nobles and take a volume off the shelf, buy a coffee, read it, then put it back on the shelf and go home, or C: actually buy it.
The whole One Manga fiasco was rather terrible and, to a point, the users at 2ch have a right to hate us. Fan translations were suppose to be just that, fan translations that someone does for free, hand it to friends and people who go to your website/irc, and be happy they get to even read it. All one manga did was take the free translations, host it on an easy to use website, and sit back and let advertising checks roll in while doing absolutely nothing.
I have used One Manga before, so I can't say that I'm free of guilt (I enjoyed the little of The World God Only Knows that I read), but everyone needs to move on and go do something else instead of saying each country's internet users need to die.
I imagine these particular Japanese have nothing better to do than to guard their homes and complain about something stupid? This is all stupid, really.
Japan, just save me a trophy wife virgin for when I arrive, okay? I'm not here to steal your manga. Some white pigs are, but I prefer cumming in a Japanese girl's mouth and supplying newborns for your country's population deficit.
"the users at 2ch have a right to hate us."
lol wat?
Japanese publishers may have the right to hate us, even though they never considered us part of their market and onemanga being gone changes nothing about their sales figures
Western publishers on the other hand have every right to hate us as onemanga actively destroyed their market.
Japanese peasants on the other hand have the right to shut up and continue with their sad and hateful lifes.
I laugh at anyone who thinks one manga was some how the moral high road. They, like the people downloading from them, are thieves. There is no question about that FACT.
Definitely. OneManga was pretty much just a hub for free fan translations. I never used OneManga myself - I prefer to download, a personal thing - but I can appreaciate that many did because of convenience.
As an example, I may never have come to read Dance in the Vampire Bund if not for previewing it on the internet.
I don't mind those sites that do it for free, with some advertising or whatever (afterall, they need to pay maintenance and upkeep and whatnot), but whenever I encountered a site that required a subscription fee of some kind or other - of which I encountered a fair few - I always seethed; because that's when they're really hurting the industry, by making their site into a true business. There are laws of economics involved which are too lengthy/detailed to state here, but it basically comes down to you pay based on percieved enjoyment.
And there is always the argument for more exposure. The number of series that don't get licensed because of any number of factors means that without fan translations, we'd miss out on many series.
But somehow, I think this is an age old debate that shall never end until publishers start realising why these fan sites work, and why their models don't in comparison.
Impossible to ever take anything they fucking say seriously, all I ever imagine is one of those hilariously creepy looking otaku. Pitch black room, the dim glow from his monitor highlighting the sweat worked up from a hard day's net surfin'... you get the picture.
Basically, some website had comments about 2ch specifically, doin' what they do. They were negative, and it was such a big deal this happens. Takes a special kind of Unwarranted Self Importance to take such action.
@Anonymous 19:23
You're right. I should have read my comment before posting it. Allow me to do something never seen on the internet and admit that I was wrong.
Though I still stand on everyone doing something instead of saying "go die" to other people over the internet since that accomplishes nothing. If you truly want someone to die, there are methods to make that wish come true, but you have to work for it.
Whoops, forgot to log in there.
-Anonymous 19:52
Wait, what? They actually think that we care about Onemanga getting shut down!? Bitches don't know 'bout our IRC!
I don't get how they are so aggressive. I mean, telling us to "go die"? Seems a bit extreme really. I can understand their anger, to a degree, but they git a bit worked up, don't they?
Do they really expect us to believe some of them don't pirate stuff too?
The "kill yourself plzkthks" responses are annoying because it's a dismissive response. 4chan says that crap all the time though.
I'm sure they pirate stuff too (unless Japan can't figure out how to use TOR and get torrents and do proxies and all that.) but at the same time they probably don't have the attitude of entitlement western pirates have.
It's hilarious how much attention this is getting. Taking down these manga viewer sites is like trying to fix a broken leg with a band-aid. The posters on 2ch obviously are lumping in all foreigners as thieves when it's people over from Japan who provide the raws for us to translate. It's hilarious how some of their own countrymen are working them over and then blaming us for reading and enjoying the works in a language we can understand. I wouldn't call all of them xenophobic because that is a serious stretch to lump an entire population into a category like that based on a few idiots. They assume that we believe that manga=free when that's far from the point for most people that read manga online. Most people read manga online when the companies are doing a shitty job with censoring and translation, or when the manga just isn't available over here. We don't go around saying that they shouldn't illegally download shit that was made in America (which they know they do so apparently they're all a bunch of hypocrites) so why do they feel they have to right to tell us what we can and can't do with the provided data over here. This whole situation is truly hilarious.
@21:32
Only some of them were being aggressive. Think about how many people there are on the internet. Think about how many people use 2Ch.
Some people are going to lump everyone together, other people will have common sense and realize people have beliefs on an individual level.
That being said, I'm glad One Manga is gotten rid of. While I can understand stuff like the Touhou mangas being scanned since they will NEVER make it over seas in English, taking things that are either already published/licensed over here and hosting them on a giant, obvious site is ridiculous.
FACT:
1. no matter how much we talk about it, no matter how much 2ch hates us, piracy will never die.
2. just because onemanga is gone doesn't mean that we won't get to stea- ehem* read their mangas anymore. onemanga is just hosting it in one place, even if it's gone, the people translating it is still around.
3. if there are scanlations that means somebody bought them first right? who else has better access to buy it than japanese people?
i am half japanese, i lived in japan most of my life (but not anymore). the people on 2ch doesn't represent the japanese population, not all of them are like the fucktards in 2ch. and i really dont understand why they're so worked up about it, telling us to "go die"? it's not like they're losers and their life sucks just because we're reading their manga for free...
Love the flamme war ^_^
@Anonymous 19:05
Uh oh! That's some serious downvoting. I guess 2ch users must be lurking the page.
is it just me or is there an insult in each and every comment made by those 2ch's? lmao
i'm just waiting for google translate to be perfected. so i can get trolled in real time.
WILL THE MOST OF YOU GUYS BUY IT ALREADY....
Oh look, a troll.
00:03: Yay Internet bitch fight!
‘Who do you think you are kidding Nihonjinsan, if you think we're on the run?’
Pirates will live on... even in Japan.
can someone upload a zip.
I can understand their feelings if you don't buy the mangas once they are in your area. I reads scans online. If I hadn't ever read one online I probably would never had read any mangas ever. Now I have an ever growing manga collection as I buy them once they are here. Besides I cant get all the mangas here in the U.S. as several can't get published here due to laws. I do the same thing with anime. I watch it online and buy it when it comes to the U.S. I don't want to wait a year to read/watch my favorite stories/shows.
When will those stupid yellow monkey Japs learn? If they stopped pirating their own stuff and making it so accessible to us, sites like One Manga wouldn't be so prevalent.
*comes back from the gun-store with the bullets...reads this shit...
CRAP - > will need more bullets!
*runs to the gun-store
i know i will be voted down, but if I were Japanese, i would hate the foreigners too.
Nice hobby.
>they're so worked up about ... telling us to "go die"
As some have pointed here and there, xenophobe or the ones who think they have moral high ground.
I think we should bomb those rice niggers again. They're becoming far too arrogant and need to learn their place.
^I think you're out of your mind.
You're the one acting arrogant.
but onemanga is reincarnated as 1000manga so there's no problem
Not really or that just hasn't happened yet. 1000manga was made just for those who want to read anything PG-13 and up. 1000manga doesn't have 1000 mangas to choose from. 1000manga doesn't even have over 200 mangas.
i love it how the manga industry is supposed to be going down because of lost sales they would never even be able to have in the first place - facepalm
they would have had sales if they did what the scanlators do though. that's probably what they're griping about.
and damn those 2ch trolls. "Go read your own country's comics"... my country's comics consist purely of satirical news strips. nowhere near xxxHolic.
They should also be making a lot of money off merchandise. Dvds, figurines, ect.
日本人は超自己中だね 外人は大嫌いですか 泣き虫は大嫌いだよ! I hope this makes it's way on to 2ch, I swear I'm tired of their holier than thou attitude, I don't pirate, I learned japanese for college, and yet the 2ch hate machine trolls and circle jerks, foreigner this foreigner that, Japan has bigger issues that manga that would never be licensed being pirated. 2ch should STFU about foreign pirates because manga sales in japan are dying. The japanese are the master guilt and issue avoidance race.
Funny how they complain at us for piracy when a good amount of the raws come from them; we just catch wind of the raws. Admittedly, though, our scanalator groups do occasionally buy and scan (though they don't usually release the raw versions).
Scanalation is the reason I buy manga now. would never have bought or read one probably otherwise.
Heh, the usual crap from 2ch:
“Do these people feel any sense of guilt over what they’re doing to creators?”
Guilt? We're not doing that much at all. Weird japanese publishers who seem to think they are already rich enough decided not to sell maybe 99% of their manga to the rest of the world.
The small rest that does get sold here usually is either badly translated, censored, comes out years too late, is fucking expensive, is printed in shit quality, or several of the above.
Some people there are not braindead, though:
“Oh come on, this is a fantastic business chance for publishers. If they don’t go for commercial digital distribution now they really are finished.”
That guy hit the nail on the head. Publish online and translate to at least english, better spanish, french and german as well. This would generate tons of money, and it would all go to japan.
That really would be a good idea for them, but I think it would actually suck for foreigners. Can you imagine trying to read your favorite manga when it's in engrish (check engrish.com if you don't know engrish)?
You'd spend so much time banging your head against your desk trying to figure out what they mean that you'd lose all the enjoyment from the manga.
On the other hand, if they were smart they'd hire the scanlators that are already doing the work. But I think they're just afraid of opening new markets. After all, gaijin are scarrrrry, right?
xenophobia, anyone?
i'm surprised they didn't BUY onemanga to begin with. if they're making money off THEIR manga it makes sense if THEY buy it and split the earnings. sheesh. sometimes i remember why everyone thinks the japanese are funny.
I know what you mean, Japaneses are horrible English user, maybe the worst of the worst, if they using Japaneses to translate they game into English it would end up more than pain in the ass reading the texts.
But if they hire some from US or UK it's maybe good(not alway, the guy who translate for berserk is a horrible exam, the Chinese do much more better).
By the way, it's would be a lot of trouble to bring their product outside Japan (think about the transportation cost, task, censorship, law etc...),remember that no sane business man want to lose a potential market.
They have acces to native English speakers so I don't think it is much of a problem. Even have a few dvd's that are in good English. Sure there could be bad one's but even with English speaking fansubbers there are subs out there that have shitty English in it.
Not everyone in Japan is incapable of speaking English. In order to get the best translation or at least a half decent one, to cater to their English-speaking fans, publishers would have to round up teams of people who know how to speak English properly. Otherwise, they're going to get a shit storm of complaints saying "we don't understand your Engrish!"
The thing is, the logical conclusion of the internet revolution in regards to creative media is the demise of the whole publishing and distribution industry, or at least the almost complete loss of their previous power.
They used to be the crucial middle-man that served as the absolutely necessary bridge between artists and the customers, who held the ultimate power over who got heard, read or seen. Enter the internet, and suddenly no one really needs them any more, anyone with a dime to spare can set up their own site and reach out to billions.
The only reason the publishers and distributors are still around are mainly because people are used to having them around and that they are convenient, but no longer are they a necessity the way they were just 10 years ago.
That's why, from their perspective, the worst thing they could do would be to get their customers hooked on smoothly working and cheaper digital media. In the slightly longer run it would only serve to speed up their own demise because it would pave the way for the authors and artists to ditch them and sell directly to the customers.
I would expect that the worst problem for online publishing from Japan would be the legalities and differing social mores.
How much manga would be illegal to view in other countries if it was just translated? - maybe not too much.
Immoral though? now we have personal perspective and you start getting Fox News reports of sites corrupting youth. Then Equality Now will add another action plan on their site about the virtual victims in manga and the Diet will cave in and ban all manga of any type, at least in Tokyo, then Lord Il Pallazo appears and attacks the KyoAni studio blowing Ui's head off, only to be taken out by a Buster Machine 3 Colony drop as the 117th Angel appears and Haruhi resets...
Well i'm sure there are lots of problems we aren't that aware of anyway.
I've got a question for these 2ch otakus as well as all the other holier-than-thou scanlation-haters.
I live in India. As in most third-world countries, here hardly anyone even knows what manga is, forget about finding it in a bookstore. There's only one channel here that shows anime, and their selection is limited. Till date I've visited dozens of DVD and bookstores and asked for anime and manga, only to get confused glances in return.
Now please tell me how I(and millions of other manga/anime fans across hundreds of countries where they aren't sold) am supposed to obtain anime and manga legally.
I can immagine the reactions:
"Buy the ticket, go to Japan and buy it."
-Well, it will cost to you some thousands of dollars + 500 yen.
"Buy it in Amazon or other Internet stores."
-Well, it cost to you 500 yen + all your money in the bank by stealing your password.
"Produce it by yourself."
-
"If your country don't have a structure to sell it legally, please forget the existence of anime/manga itself."
- You made a question to the people what says "The law is more important than the life because if the law is not protected a lot of lives will be lost."
I'm a Japanese otaku.
I think, it's not the point whichever guilty or not guilty the way to read.
The important point is below:
You have a will paying money,
when you enjoy a manga and thank the auther.
If you really and truly have a will to pay, there are lots of way.
For example, making a Japanese friend and asks the friend: please send money to the auther directly.
It's not difficult that sending money directly in Japan.
On Comiket (who is Dojin's), Newly-published event, or send to the publisher.
I buy all mangas not secondhands but new.
It's the way to send money and send my appreciation.
Are you REALLY willing to pay?

I'm not the indian what posted the comment but I want to say that: What do you feel if somepeoples send a money and don't know who sent that?
well i wouldn't really say its ALL bullshit.
but they're pretty hypocritical themselves.
but if they really wanna do something about it, i think they should just expand overseas rather than selling to Licensees.
That way i think is that they can get rid of excuses such as
"i don't wanna wait for each English volume to come out"
or
"its too expensive in comparison to the Japanese version"
well that's my 2 cents on it anyways
*sigh* I see that once again the dregs of 2ch have blessed us with such original and amusing comments such as "Die foreign scum". l-o-l.
You would think that they are trying to become a terrorist group by using that quote though. lol
Can't stop the signal.
You know, they really are no different then /b/. Is Futaba channel any better?
Ah Japan. Hyper-xenophobia is like a game over there. Even the cardcarrying Teapartyer racists in Ameriac doesn't have the same level of perverse things to say about foreigners.
Uh, you seen what they are saying lately? I think they have risen to the level of the worst xenophobes in Japan and then some.
True, true. Not speaking about the virility of the attacks. It's just that the Japanese make it a weird game out of it while there's no sense of grace with all the extreme racist photoshops of Obama/Hitler/Prehistoric-African-Tribe-Native. lol
You must be mistaking the Tea Party for the NAACP and the left.
I think this is an issue of translation.
The Japanese use the word gaikokujin a lot. So whoever translated it, constantly repeated "foreigner" which is a very strong (and offensive) word in English.
So you keep hearing "Foreigner" "foreigner" x100.
I'm not saying Futaba channel's comments were politer than what we see here (actually, I'm sure 99% of them were that rude), but I'm just saying that people should be a tiny bit skeptical, and not just automatically accept whatever they see.
And also, it's fucking futaba channel. Look at how much 4chan uses f*g and n*gger.
http://jisho.org/words?jap=gaikokujin&eng=&dict=edict [http://jisho.org/words?jap=gaikokujin&eng=&dict=edict]
ITT: accurate translations
1. Futaba Channel and 2ch are two completely different things so your credibility ends there.
2. "Gaikokujin" in Japanese basically does carry a heavy "foreigner" nuance - there is no commonly used nice way of putting that. 2ch exclusively used "gaijin" in those threads, which is definitely devoid of politeness, as opposed to gaikokujin, which is polite/official/politically correct.
Finally, 2ch is keen on saying 「害人」 rather than 「外人」 - both are pronounced "gaijin," but 害人 replaces the character for "outside" with that for "harm" for the last word in linguistic xenophobia. I generally translate this as "foreign scum."
Thank you for the Japanese lesson, Artefact, you just earned me joining SanCom at last! :D
Of course, there's always the chance we're just seeing the 'cream of the crop', you know? the juicy, ripened rage-fruit. For all we know there's just as many people there who - while objecting - have some degree of self control.
Not saying it's a bad thing, or accusing the translator or anything, just you know. Don't generalise, or you'll look the same as they do, when they generalise what they think we... etc.
Also, this way's a metric fuck-tonne funnier.
Seriously, it's just the 'cream of the corp' of 2ch bashing on the 'creaming of the corp' of foreign sites like Sankaku...
So it's rather pointless to speak logic to either side..
LOL stupid ugly Japs are just mad that they're short, all look the same, and have stupid small squnity eyes
↑'Cream of the Crop' No.70925207
*20:43 - X Corp ○ Crop
At least if 2ch actually do stuff like 4chan does I would actually care about what they say.
I mean seriously 4chan is like the scum of the world but they have created meme after meme, ruined the lives of people they hate, harrased Justin Bieber and lets not forget the worldwide anti-$cientology protest they sparked...
If 2ch actually does something for a change THEN they have the right to complain.
↑You obviously don't know 2ch beyond what appears on Sankaku...
Though of course, I agree that they won't be harassing Justin Bieber anytime soon, nor do more than a handful gives a flying damn about sci3ntology
Artefact, while your analysis on the difference between Gaikokujin and Gaijin is fine with me, treating homophone-replacing slang as is particularly common in Chinese and Japanese internet culture as being any more meaningful than, in this case, a mild to moderate level of disdain towards foreigners, is wrong enough to call it incorrect. If there were no other insults uttered, I'd translate it into something like "disgusting foreigners" or "stupid foreigners". Just my 2 cents, from a Baidu and 2ch's news flash board user.
I wish we could all just go into one huge circle and fap to hentai as friends and associates...
I guess it's a childish dream...
But I still have hope we could have better future relations when the old generation of paranoid moralfags of various governments and organizations die and be replaced by the new generation of anime-oriented individuals and logical people...
I'll keep on hoping that one day, anime and hentai will reunite east and west...
Well said.
fapping in circles is in no way a "childish" dream. i dont know about you but i dreamt of other things when i was a child.
and whats that about "logical people" anime/manga/hentai are works of fiction so they somehow dont relate to logic(except for slice of life and some scintifical term that may appear.
and i certainly dont hope that the world gets reunited trough works of fiction and the sex versions of the same but rather trough the enjoyment of watching them (more directed to anime than hentai, or would you shake hands with your neighbours after watching hentai:D)
I don't know if you have been keeping tabs on the events concerning eroge, hentai mangas, and even regular anime shows in the past 2 years, but...
What I meant by the old generation being replaced by more logical people is because said old generation wants to give 2D (READ: fictional) women and children rights from getting sexually/violently abused...
That's right...You are giving a drawing of a child and/or a woman human rights...
Therefore, they are (the old generation) being illogical and irrational about the whole thing..
Like that 2channer said...It began with the "Rapelay Fiasco" and accelerated to rape eroge being banned by some feminazis and moralfags from both UNICEF, Equality Now, and various religeous sects and government groups...And now it's threatening various mangas and anime...
Paranoia and Rationality...They must die and be replaced by the new generation (rational people who are knowledgeable about anime AND hentai)...
And lastly, that one huge circle jerk thing has a double meaning...
The other one aside from what you think is this...East or West...We're all together when it comes to anime and hentai...
We should not be fighting amongst ourselves...Not as Foreigner and Japanese...But as Anime and Hentai fans...That's my point...
All this hysteria...These witch-hunts...These baseless and evident-less draconic accusations towards anime and hentai...
They must perish in order for ALL OF US to get on with this ridiculous issue...
And preferably without idiots in CNN and other medias involve who don't even do their homework...
Ugh, I still remember what they did to that Touhou "Bad Apple" video...The artists at Pixiv made fun of that so bloody much...
I hope the 2ch guys see that our people here who want to ban loli would have been a problem eventually. It is not as if they would remain unaware even if no local North American lolicons developed a taste for it.
We are brothers! Furthermore, lots of us buy manga but we like to download the stuff which has not been officially translated.
Kodomo no Jikan for example, we will never see it here! =(
Wow, we're already nearing the 500 comment mark...
I wanna see 2chn translate all our shit talk...
Agreed.
Nah they will translated only the badone any way.
Even tho they tried to ban them they have failed many times but now am starting to worry for the future of anime,manga and hentai as we know it, the whole "rapelay" thing was a huge nonsense, irrational station. Even tho 2chan is trolling(like always) we should atleast just ignore because we're going to need all the soldiers we have to when the moral nazis begin there attack to give piece of paper and pixels rights, i think this is the time blogs, polls and surveys are needed because lets faces it, there not going to stop moral panic is a epidermic, it not going to end unless something is done.
henh. wonder if the other side exists: american comics scanlated into japanese. see how THEY like it.
oh wait.. right. they have plenty over there. i'll just go back to my pile of (poorly) translated manga and hikkify myself if it'll satisfy the trolls.
To Azure: Well said comrade!!! Very logical and rational, it's people like you who need to be in change of this rotten world, not some fat old geezer who can think of nothing but their god damned reputation and dirty pocket.
oh! you mean kim jung il?
HOLY CARP!
Almost at 1000 mark and no signs of stopping?
Now, I really wanna see how good they can translate shit...
They will probably triage first by only taking anon comments
Or have alot of fun translating 'Holy Carp'
XD

There you go.
Damn foreigners trying to tell us what we can and can't do. They didn't even invent the internet. They should develop their own technology before they complain about what we do with ours.
Foreign scum.
lol u mad jap?
we may not invented it by ourselfs cause it is an "world wide web"
@LDC I think you didn't get it.
I hate having to explain jokes but he is talking about the japanese using the internet - invented in the US.
the design of the internet hapoened in the US, but 'The World Wide Web was developed in 1989 by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).'
'The design of the Internet was done in 1973 and published in 1974. There ensued about 10 years of hard work, resulting in the roll out of Internet in 1983'
Al Gore put the tubes together with his bare hands.
better things are always Europeans.
except teeth
There are many Europeans here(me included), dunno why they always say just crap about US...
BTW I just want to see what will they do after closing onemanga. People are saving the scanlats like crazy, so starting up more pages should not be a problem for them. Best thing would be to have own servers somewhere in a old atom bunker like piratebay had =D
If we can't read their manga then their women can't wear our panties they love to ogle so much. Go back to wearing fundoshis!
They should:
- Stop using Windows/Mac/Linux, how about they create their own OS eh?.
- Stop using motor vehicles.
- Stop using plastics
- Stop using trains
So, Japan, can we read your manga now?
Ah, 2chn.
Nothing else better to do than peek at a foreign website and troll about it.
Just stop coming to foreign translation sites to check if we're still sapping sales from your publishers and mangaka.
Ignorance is bliss,no?
As a non-manga reader i'd like to say what loss of sale?
First, allot of these manga are liscenced like anime, so the jap publishers already got their pound of flesh. The lost sales in those cases are absorbed by the liscence holder.
Second, around 90% of the translated manga online is not available to buy legaly unless you read kanji. How can they loose sales when they are not selling it?
Third, i'll admit that the jap publishers might be loosing a little money especially if they are releasing them overseas themselves, but the argument that online manga is free publicity and ropes in new oversees readers is a good one. There is a tipping point where the harm caused by piracy will hurt the publishers more than the publicity helps, but we won't reach that till there are alot more legit sales oppertunities. 10% is a joke.
Ignorance is bliss.
Japanese manga fans think so, and ignore.
But, not all 2ch people is manga fan.
Berners-Lee did not 'develop' or 'invent' the internet or the world wide web. What he did is come up with a document markup or tagging specification which built on substantial previous work in this area.
This 'hypertext' spec in combination with early browsers and the use of a transport protocol provided a convenient means of sharing content of all kinds over data communication channels.
Along with hardware advances, mass availability of PCs, and cheaper faster modems, the 'web' grew synergistically into what it is now: a means of providing porn; pirated anime, manga, games, movies; and access to a subset of Japanese culture for weaboos.
If anyone is responsible for the development of the web as we know it, it is the providers of porn. They pioneered many innovative html techniques, and provided a core user base.
Kind of funny they complain about being called racist, but continually spout xenophobic bullshit. Besides, I'm more than sure they pirate their fair share of......well......everything.
Pot calling the kettle black is always kind of silly....
2ch is a haven for trolls just like 4chan.
An entire country should not be judged by the basement dwelling scum that sometimes infests that board.
As for the suggestion the manga publishers should have simply bought One Managa and made it legal like what was done with napster.
Well that would be good business sense something the publishers lack.
What done did was pointless as another site will simply spring up to replace the one that was taken down.
These guys are even more out of the loop then the RIAA which is really saying something.
The only people more disconnected from reality would be the MPAA in the US.
2ch...full of trolls and fapable goddesses' pics.
DAMN straight!!
@2ch netizens: Call the Goddesses to come here... and the lolis too!!! We need world variety!!
Japan is a country with basically no deposits. Without us foreign scum to trade with their civilization would collapse really fast.
I wonder if 2ch is ever going to notice that.
Their civilization wouldn't collapse, I can assure you. They would simply enter a deeper recession, which would end with a new economic system. Not like their world would go upside-down or anything.
The world has the resources and japan has the skills to use and make things better. They wouldn't survive without scum like us, for once schrobby said something useful.
They'd probably start poaching whales, again...oops, they never stopped that, to begin with.
Oddly enough their economy is already in decline and soon to be overtaken by the Chinese.
It's mainly due to inaction by the diet, inability to adapt to a new economic climate and changed labour market ie. Gen Y.
We wouldn't be trading with Japan if it hadn't been for Matthew Perry who used his gunboats to convince Japan to open up to trade...
So I can see why there's some deep seated anger at foreigners, but then again it could have been worse they could have been colonised by the British or worse the French.
Dude think about yin and yang. :
White needs to co-exist with black and the same thing with black.
There must have a balance between the two in order for the world not to collapse.
Think the same way about piracy and not.
Ah, kids these days.. )
they are just tsundere. I really belive they love us ''foreigners''
Yup. But don't worry. We really love them too.
Someone needs to draw a Japan-tan yelling "S-Stupid foreigners! It's not like I want you to read my manga or anything!"
"D-Don't misunderstand!"
I lol'd, somebody needs to do that.
OMG that would be perfect!
Twintails presumably with a perfect ratio zettai ryouiki, ahh we can forgive Japan anything for that
Im trying to accomplish it, as you can see its not yet done, i need more ideas, especially what the it should be wearing http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r9/SanosukeEiji/2ch-tancopy.jpg
I have no real advice as my doodle skills are terribad, though I was personally imagining a cute girl, sitting on a wooden floored bedroom with manga all over the place, looking up all embarassed like someone walked in on her and saying the line pointed out earlier.
Though perhaps a black skirt with a pink stripe? Black leggings with pink ribbon ties? white and yellow? Who knows.
I think what you have is ok, just put a school uniform on her and delicious zettai ryouiki and you're done.
Also, sir 19:46 Anon, you are made of win.
Y'know...as strange as anon is sometimes, I believe he's right. 2ch is just really tsuntsun right now.
Okay, now, how can were make the goddesses deredere ?
indeed, delicious bitch tears.
Filthy Gaujin scum
Filthy Japanese scum
See we can do it too bitch.
Trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls.
Though maybe half of those words should be summerfags instead.
I just remember, oh it's 2ch, it's not like anyone takes there opinions seriously, even fellow 2cher's.
Reading that really makes me want to stop buying manga... T_T
Actually, It's time America stopped riding on Japanese manga and anime and start dominating the industry again.
I mean if they are going to pull this crap. It's time for the sleeping giant to reawaken and devistate Japan once again.. this time with the pure powerful talent that America is good for.
I admire your patriotism, but I'm afraid there hasn't been much 'creative talent' to speak of in the comics department in the last decades. Unless, of course, killing Superman/Batman for the 15th time is 'creative'.
No matter which side of the Pacific you're on, it looks like Digital Manga Distribution is the way to go.
hey at least they know how to make friends , NOOOOT !
Aye man, its ridiculous they just dicks. But I mean I do feel bad a bit but it takes so long to get mangas especially in europe that I end up being 2 years behind. I dont see why Japanese Publishers dont just create a site like one manga like offical which you just pay for what you want to read, no subscription bollocks like crunchy roll just pay for what u want.
Death of Publishing
Internet Micro-payments
problem solved.
NOW the japanese can bitch about lost sales and pirates, because it might actually make sense
and for the record, it was the publishers themselves who started the whole 'pirates from overseas are killing us' bull-crap
+1 for foreigner posts
-1 for japanese 2ch.
Greetings Sancom , i can see how hard you still fight about what happens about the comments about 2ch , i can see that you have been saying about japanese been xenophobic about americans , well maybe of them are why i can see this? is because i remember about Nico Nico Douga the first translations of the web , it wasnt in English if you can remember , it was in Spanish , german and taiwanese , english come later after of the huge deman because is a website that lives on ADs , but we have to remember that becuase of the bunch of over 30 years olds amateurs virgins we have to nuked japan killing alot persons? i was watching the news in the tv an in the global news they show that in USA
Are having some problems about a migratory law in the state of Arizona , then there i see sa huge group of person with (i dont know the word) "Giants Cards" saying "the illegal must keep illegal" and others similars , americas hating to the max inmigrants , and they dont remember that their country was funded by inmigrants of others countries , and i personally when im on the internet i get a lot of time the phrase ENGLISH MO THER FVKER do you SPEAK IT? , because as you can see english is not my native language and those phrase make me a hell angry becuase i learn english no because i want it , it was because of work , is like my english teacher tell me (by the way , a great teacher ) no because one rotten apple means that the other will taste like that , what i want to say is that either japanese have the fault becuase a bunch of NEETs over their 30s that can be good for something in our society or Americans and their own problems
i will end my comment with this : Maybe i am japanese guy who love to keep saying Foreign Scum becuase americans troll me maybe because everyday i dream with "起きてください 朝ですよ" , thinking that a girl can say this to me "あんまりジロジロ見ないでください さすがに恥ずかしいです " or あの お願い その おちんちんください , and masturbating to "もう ああ 我慢しない ああ 兄さんに甘えて いいですね?" pr maybe im just a stupid gaijin japanese wannabe that who even know what he says an became trollbait after say しりはダメだぞ、絶対だぞ aka "America Scum" , well who knows
Amusing maybe, hypocritical? absolutely, where do they think the raws for scanlation come from? scanlators simply are using stuff they already post online for their fellow japanese to read.
