| I hope you realize that Nisioisin writes a lot, several series at the same time and one-off books, some quite experimental. He can probably write whatever he likes. If he wants to write something that is different then he could even use a different pen name. Who would know? But he likes writing these books, says so himself. He wouldn't write a novel a month in this genre if he hated it. |

Nidhoeggr said: Zefyris said: *Rise a hand* While I don't think NisiOisiN could ever pretend to be the pinacle of Japanese literary, nor do I think that anyone sane would say something like that, did you even read the book in their original language before looking down at the author's writing style? So nobody can criticize the book because we didn't read it in its original language? I surely hope that is not what you are implying. Obviously translations will not match the original language in 99% of the cases, but you can get a pretty good idea what the general writing style is in a lot of cases... Also: The anime adaptions of his various works as well as his manga are enough to give anyone plenty of material to figure out his style by now. You cannot criticize the author's writing style by basing yourself on a random fan translation, no. You can criticize the plot, character development and whatever you like if you read it, even translated, but the author's writing style? I shouldn't even have to confirm that NO, you can't. Except if you want to look like an idiot, obviously. Though if Nisio was a good writer, he wouldn't waste time with low grade Light Novels and would start publishing real books, Monogatari aren't light novels, so your point is... moot. Also, light novels are....Real books. I know, that's a surprise, huh? You need to learn what "light novel" really means before looking down on it, it'd say. Would make you more hmm... Credible, maybe? |

Lately i tried to watch Bakemonogatari translated to my language and the difference between it and the english translation was so obvious that it felt like i was watching a completely different anime |
