Not really to me. If I want a continuation I will read/watch or do whatever to learn more about the story or characters of a series I like. Format does not matter at all.

I'm kind of in the same boat here.

The thing with me is (as I've already stated numerously) that I really dislike reading on electronic displays for some reason
Be it PC, tablet, smarthphone or whatever really... even when I have to read some long ass pdf for university I always end up printing that out in full. And that's quite troublesome for what we're talking about here. So no VNs for me (duh) and for LNs I do usually check out vol1 of something online if I think I'd like it. And if I do I add a couple to my bulkbuy list for once or twice a year to buy stuff in physical form. Life is hard for people like me


How does this work out. Do you just get tired looking at a screen too long? I heard some people can't read on computers or iPads but can do it on a Kindle. Have you tried that?

I think it's just a thing of not getting comfortable while reading for me? I CAN read on a screen but I really don't like it. I probably do get tired easily that way as well but that's not really the thing that bothers me I think.
Out of those, putting a pdf on my smarthphone and reading it while in my bed before sleeping or in a chair (you know, the kind of thing you'd have in your living room) is still the thing I'm the most willing to do. But even that is kind of annoying because you need both hands for the smarthphone whereas proper book is just held in one hand, comfy chair and you can read for hours.

A kindle would probably work for me. Have thought about that but never really got to try one. Would I just put pirated LNs on that? Or can you actually buy them (amazon or else) from outside JP ?

// just tried looking for KonoSuba since that was brought up and it gave me a not available message
That would be pretty massive though. You get rid of shipping costs and all and while I'd still want my favorite ones hardcover for the sake of seeing them in my room I'd so be up for getting some of the quite enjoyable but not quite willing to pay 20$ shipping + 2$ per item LNs


In what world do you need 2 hands to read on phone?

one to hold the phone, one to scroll

Doesnt the same apply to books? One to hold and one to turn the pages?

I read, always have but I still get pissed off since the books and the anime are different things. If I wanted to watch something just to read the book instead why would I bother watching in the first place? I have read Spice and Wolf after watching the anime, that was largely due to never knowing about the books if I hadn't. I still want season 3,4,5,6,7 etc. It's a vastly different experience.

Maybe it's just some pet peeve. Just loathe people excusing shit stuff in anime with "go read source".


I'm on Numy's side here. For me the medium really matters. Different media are good at different things. For example, books are much better at creating a vibrant world in your head because it's all imaginative. On the other hand, shows have the distinct advantage of using music, voices, sounds and pre-set environments to create a certain mood that isn't hazy like in your head. There are tons of examples.
I personally dislike reading manga. Jumping from one panel to the next with half-finished sentences and shouts just isn't much fun to me, except for comedy. I love reading books though. I never tried LNs. What's the difference between LNs and normal novels?

So yeah, for me if I watch an anime which doesn't adapt the whole source it's kind of bad because I know I most likely won't enjoy the manga as much as I did the anime. Because of this, I end up not reading the manga except for some rare cases where I really loved the anime.

Light novels are largely akin to young adult novels in the west(there are exceptions). That's pretty much it. I mean there's also pictures occasionally but that varies depending on the novel itself. I have read plenty of Western fantasy that has pictures in it so don't know if that's a good distinction. The size is typically 200 pages but even that's not consistent, you get LN that are the size of fantasy epics like the stuff Kawakami writes so???

Light novel is a demographics. There are no difference between a light novel and a regular novel. It is mainly determined by publisher.

So it's more like the difference between shounen and seinen manga for example? Seems fair enough to me. Although I feel like "young-adults" is fairly wide-spread in what audiences it actually targets. Same with "adult" novels. Anyways, I might try out some LNs in the future then. Might as well start with the Spice&Wolf ones since I have been waiting for a sequel for ages now and I liked the world-building. If it's like a regular novel I expect the world-building to be similar enjoyable in the LN and I expect that I will be able to follow the whole economic stuff better.

Lightnovels use a simplified style of japanese that teenagers can easily understand or something like that. Speaking of LN's has anybody read HakoMari, for being ranked #2 on MAL i've seen very little talk about it.

idk if this helps but your "typical" LN kinda looks like this:

Overview: http://imgur.com/Ei9tJqb (2 pages per picture because scans)
Random page: http://imgur.com/NpmetbX

If you get a random moeblob, wishfulfilment, escapism one or something on the more serious side of things completly depends on which one you pick up. There should be plenty of both (especially the first).

I think there's 2 different form factors to them as well, or at least that's the only ones that I have come across so far. There are those smaller ones that are around the size of your hand (in my experience the majority of things) and then there are the ones that are a bit bigger like a "proper" book. Maybe that's just on publishers thoughs, idk. Anyways:

Monogatari to the left, KonoSuba to the right:
http://imgur.com/1kYlDVj
Maousama to the left, Monogatari to the right:
http://imgur.com/LSOehWU

There's also a shitton of stuff that originated from webnovels the last couple of years since they realized that those sell amazing. So lots of stuff that was just started as a hobby by someone who otherwise has a normal job.

Definitely recommend giving something with an E-ink screen a try Toad. A big chain bookstore might have display models. Can generally side load epub/mobi/pdfs of stuff.

I've mostly made peace with anime being ads for series or just not really ending, also have enough of a book backlog. Though I like comicrack for reading manga and kind of surprised at how many LN getting translated at this point. Zaregoto someday, Read or Die never ;;

Thanks for the link, it gave me a better idea. I just set up some hotkeys to toggle audio and subtitles instead, I feel so stupid for not thinking about it

Probably covered in the link but basic option.
Right click filter --> splitter --> properties.
audio: jpn,eng
sub: eng
if it's lav splitter and you want subs only on for jpn stuff etc, advanced options.

I don't know but if you want to trust certain voices it wil be within the next 3 month for Kimi no Na wa.

/Finished Nichibros. Pretty mediocre to me. It had some good sketches but most of them weren't funny. The main thing I have to say about this anime is that the voice actors must have had a shit ton of fun.

Maybe. WWW.Working!!! might be interesting. Also, My Wife is the Student Council President has a new season coming.

I don't know about "good", but there's sure to be some moe blobs doing moe things.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?
