Re: Sword Art Online
I wonder if the Yen Press people will manage to reach to where BT stopped before the anime catches up. Judging from how fast the second season was announced after the first one, I think the anime will win.
Well if they do manage to do it, then I hope they will also sell e-book editions cause I am a fan of books not taking physical space

Always wondering why do translators go AWOL?

Re: Sword Art Online
No, they won't. ^^'
Yen Press publishes at most 3 books a year, for their already successful ongoing series... But given SAO potential, I guess they will try to publish SAO on the same rhythm, which means : April, August and December releases.
So, the anime will obviously have finished airing before they even reach GGO arc's books.

Re: Sword Art Online
The anime might even have reached and finished the alicization arc by the time that Yen press does GGO and side stories. I would not had expected the slowest of the professional translators to be slower than the fastest of the volunteer translators. Are they maybe trying to translate many many different series with very very few people?Lery wrote:No, they won't. ^^'

Re: Sword Art Online
Yay for waiting 4? years to get to read volume 13, and another year or two to read and conclude the Alicization arc.
Wouldn't it be possible to continue to provide the translated works and host them until the licenced volume of the same is released? it would save several years of frustration for anybody who cannot read Japanese and relies on your translations.

Re: Sword Art Online
So the SAO 14 Preview text is apparently out.
Could someone translate it?
Or am I asking for too much, considering everything...?

Thank you for your continued efforts, Tap!
Will you work on this volume from the shadows?
I kinda forgot what was your stance on future volumes following the licensing.

While announcing Absolute Solitude (Zettai Naru Kodoku) release he said that there are no signs of either Accel World or Sword Art Online ending, so probably not. Here's the link for this news.

End of vol.13 is in the almost exact middle of the web version of Alicization.gn_x00 wrote: Anyway, any info if this will be the last book of Alicization?
So I think we'll have about 5 more volumes.

Re: Sword Art Online
Give or take a couple, seeing as most of Volume 10 is 90% new, and there was a chapter from the web-novel that wasn't included in the publication ("Chapter" being used loosely here.)Ushwood wrote:End of vol.13 is in the almost exact middle of the web version of Alicization.gn_x00 wrote: Anyway, any info if this will be the last book of Alicization?

Re: Sword Art Online
I know this LN is licensed by Yen Press however, does anyone have an idea where I may be able to purchase the English Translated volumes of this book electronically? I checked out Yen Press's website and I was not able to find any information on how to purchase this LN.

You can pre-order the book on Amazon if you like.

Re: Sword Art Online
this makes me question why publishers don't just try make a deal with the people who already translated what they were working on. quality on baka-tsuki is never really bad so at most they would have to do a moderate amount of editing and it'd be suitable for release, add on that everyone here translated it expecting nothing to come of it so i doubt they would be hard to convince to take a flat fee for work they already did. end result should be the publisher massively speeding up with way less cost that usual.
really cant imagine that it'd be hard to make a contract to smooth everything over into legality. so i'm surprised that they dont just accept the easy money possibilities and make use of the people who already did half their work for them o.o
(overall i'm glad they dont since all the content would have to be removed immediately, but i am still surprised.)
