Discussions with Digitarou – Anime Boston 2012
April 22nd, 2012, by in Conventions, Feature, Interviews
Last weekend, one of our reporters took a trip to Massachusetts for Anime Boston 2012. We were originally planning to attend to meet the Japanese guests Kanako Ito and Halko Momoi, and will be posting reports on them soon. However, first we would like to report about an unexpected visitor who came with Kanako.
Representing one of the sponsors of Kanako Ito’s visit was the Nitroplus president himself, Digitarou. After meeting him at Kanako’s press panel, he was kind enough to give us some of his time for a brief interview. We asked him about Nitroplus’s foray into the English-speaking market, from his initial impressions to his hopes for the future.

bamboo broadcast #1
May 26th, 2011, by in News, Translation
MangaGamer had a live Q&A session on Ustream, hosted by OVERDRIVE’s president bamboo. Over 190 people watched the stream with about 50 people choosing to join the Ustream chat. There were three volunteer translators for the event, trying to handle the deluge of questions from the viewers. The stream itself was focused on bamboo wearing a hat, with a poster of one of the characters from OVERDRIVE’s upcoming game Dengeki Stryker in the background. The topics at the Q&A were all over the place — it was a very casual atmosphere. The questions covered things like possible licenses, sales, and hard copies, but also covered bamboo’s personal tastes in things like games, alcohol, and even women. Inside are some of the questions from the event.
