| Some manga isn't out in the U.S. yet, though.... I guess I'll just have to wait and buy it when it comes out. Oh well. |
| Yay! This doesn't really affect me in anyway at all! Everything I'm reading right now is an american release, and on my bookshelves upstairs so....yeah they can rest assured this doesn't hurt a small minority of us! h_malone16 said: if they're worried about having free manga websites like this around and not making a profit, then i say they need to figure out a way to make it easier for us to get the manga... whether it be a site to pay to subscribe to every month or having a downloading fee from a website or something. i don't know, but i'll miss it. Some of them tried this. Netcomics for instance, but they are virtually out of business now. Not to mention Yen Press magazine,Viz with Shojo Beat, and Shonen Jump. These companies have tried to deliver straight to the fans, but if the fans don't bite, or worse bite the hand that feeds them then what can the companies really do other then step it up this way? It is sad that it's come down to this but.... at this point when you can click through scanlations and find copyrights on the 'scanlations' for Tokyopop or Del Rey that's just pathetic. |

Whatever floats you boat. Scanalations are still poor and shoddy. I wasn't lying. In fact you haven't even said exacty how scanlations are bad. You're just bashing them because you don't like them for no reason. CapellaStar said: Drunk_Samurai said: Bunny-kins said: Drunk_Samurai said: Hardly anybody who went to the online manga sites will use them. And why is that? Read my response to DrHouse in my previous post. You assume that majority of the user base of One Manga and Manga Fox even know how to use IRC or will even bother to learn or find other alternatives. Yeah there are some there that will but judging by the Manga Fox community, I'm highly doubting many of them will have the patience. They can learn. It's not that hard. People can teach them too. Plus there are other ways too such as friends sending on messaging programs. Tachii said: Onibokusu said: Not really, at least not to someone like D_S.

| It sucks about it... i mean i do use the website and the other ones around. I really dont mind paying for manga (i live by my own and i do have other expenses) but only if they can offer me a good translation as well as a close release date from the original, a week tops. But if u expect me to be behind the story for about 7 to 8 months while everyone in the internet is talking about the new release... lol it wont happen. AGAIN i wont mind paying for manga just have it on time =D |

| Still think it's funny that this is seen like any sort of victory. Onemanga was the smallest and shittest of the big Manga sites. Also way to kill the dealer and not the supplier. |

| IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD~!!! THE APOCALYPSE STARTS NOW!!! Ahha, just kidding folks. I used OM Regularly. Heck I loved the site, It's how I Even found out what manga is . I started reading Naruto and maybe 20+ others because of it. I go on there because i can't afford to buy my mangas from B&N, but it doesn't mean that i don't wish to. Many people loved OM, and it will be missed.. But i would defiantly prefer to just buy it from my publishers. we all should. There are stores around but I was raised in a cheap family who told me to only buy what was needed and not otherwise. My friend texted me this morning to tell me about it, and she was whining and bitching left and right about it, but I actually didn't seem to care. (shocker to me) We're all going to live fine, but we're just going to have to pay to read what we want to, because not everything is going to be handed to us. (this is hard to say since I'm sucha mooch :)) At least OneManga is going out in style... without a hundred thousand lawyers on their backs. I will truly miss them. RIP OM, July 2010. |

| If you bothered to make a post on this thread saying something of the line "OM sucks" then you are technically trolling... Just cause you don't like it that it makes it bad. A lot of people used that site A LOT and are not happy to see go down considering how easy it was to use compared to the others (I personally have yet to find a single site even near as efficient, just kinda IMO) Ah... I'm still flustered... |

I think I read in a lot of places about 30 or so websites have gone down that upload manga for view in English to the masses.. and a bunch of anime sites went a while back. Haha, time to start buying manga and anime from Amazon or some shit.. cuz I know that I can't find shit in the local bookstore. |

| as much as a think that this could be a good thing and increase liscencing, this only hurts people like me who aren't even able to get the liscenced stuff... the only manga's availible at the store's near me is Bleach, and Naruto... nothing else... and i'm willing to bet that their probably quite a few chapters behind... |

You must have been reading really crappy scans. Like ones you generally would have found on Onemanga. While I hate Binktopia they make really good releases for instance.

Actually there will now be a lot less of that. You can blame OneManga for that one. Since they never replaced scans once quality ones were released. So the shitty groups like that went as fast as they could just to get on there. |
| SIgh...Onemanga was where I started reading online manga *-* |
| onemanga gone... is sad enough! but rumors that all scanlations website are off the internet that's gone too far!!!!! this is unfair!! in my country we have to spent 30 ringgit (malaysian currency) just to buy one manga what a waste of money!! I DON'T CARE!!! I JUST WANT TO READ MANGAS ONLINE!!!!!!! STOP! |
| I am amazed. Amazed at the people who go "ZOMG!, Where canread my mango!11 I can't use google and dunno about ANY of the 30+ other mangareaders, MT, IRC and all the other stuff that was there BEFORE OM STARTED TO EXIST"... Seriously, think for yourself for once. Onlinereaders were mostly just leeches who uploaded the work from scanlators and translators with poor quality on their own sites, one of the reasons why I never approved of them. Also, most of the things you read their anyway are just the normal stuff that STILL gets scanlated by 3+X groups, who even have their names in the credits on OM - use google and there you have it. The only thing that might prove to be a disadvantage is that we have to spend like 10 seconds to go to the scanlator's site, and that we have to DDL some chapters if we want to try out a new manga - and that is only the case if the other 90% of online reading sites stop existing. And to all the guys who say "Mango isn't big in my country, I WANTto buy but I can't.", so what? As mentioned above you can still get your fix without any problems at all. On a positive note, we might get less newfags. /4chan mode off. P.S.: Yes, this is a controverssal statement, problem with that? The fact that you keep shouting "THE END IS NEAR!" proves that you should just lurk more and start thinking about my statement. And to all who just complain about the pricings and the delay: That's business, think about it from a company's perspective. Manga is a niche product, therefore comparative costs are higher, release shedules aren't tight, and lobbyism in our favour is most likely non-existant. Want to help? Than just buy the goddman manga ffs (like you should, since scanlation's true goal was and will always be the spreading of manga that are NON LICENSED), or use ebay/interwebs to get buy cheap, used volumes. Works for me 90% of the time. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I have no problems going to the scanlator site to download their mangas. Case is that i read about 30 mangas, and it will be quite a hassle to go to 30 diffrent sites. (Extreme case) also, checking out 30 sites to know when my manga is updated. One manga was a giant, now its gone. I would buy, or rent manga if i could. But no stores or libaries have any manga I read so. Shipping cost alot of money to my country, like more than the book itself, so its not an option. Guess I have to use other sites from now. One manga also had an awesome community much like this site :D |

| OM was a great site for reading, and I've been with it for quite some time. I'll definitely miss the place, but there are still plenty of other places to read manga online. I just wish publishing manga wasn't so slow and expensive in America. I'm all for supporting the series I like, as I do buy manga as well, but I'm not going to sit back and wait for it to come out. Yes, I'm being rather impatient, but hey, I can't be the only one who's annoyed by the slow publishing. |
Giowatcher said: ScrumYummy said: OneManga has a clone site that is still up and running, with all of the manga they had before. This is just a diversion tactic. 0.o where? I don't even use the site and I knew about it. I assumed everyone else did too. >_> I'm not going to post the address, because I hate the aggregator sites and I want them to die. But if you really want to find it, I'm sure you will if you look. |
| I just hope they make the manga available to the fans in most major markets and in a timely and reasonably priced manner. If manga isnt as easily available, then the fan base could decrease in those who are more mediocre fans. Of course, the hardcore fans will be there, but the fanbase for those who are jsut getting introduced to this medium of entertainment or are just casual readers are going to decrease, and which could have some costly consequences. Onemanga was a great site! |
