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.

In other related news, according to a series of tweets, Tamiyasu Tomoe, who
may or may not have voiced a character in DEARDROPSis probably most well-known for playing the role of Riki, Rin and Sasami from Key’s Little Busters!, is planning on coming to Anime Expo 2012 with bamboo, but not in an official business capacity. However, she is open to gig requests from companies and organizations. -
MangaGamer announces titles at Katsucon
February 18th, 2012, by in Conventions, Translation
At their panel during Katsucon, MangaGamer announced that they will be producing a localization for CARAMEL-BOX’s Otome wa Boku(Oneesama) ni Koishiteru (Otoboku), which was what the first(trap) hint in their guessing game alluded to. They have also secured rights to CLOCKUP’s game about producing eroge, unsurprisingly called Eroge. Furthermore, due to the combined might of
the anti-Toutaku Allianceonline and hard copy distribution orders, a voiced version of Koihime Musou is on the way as well. In other news, DEARDROPS is set to be released on March 2 and the sex romp Magical Teacher from SCORE will have a release date of April 13. -
