Anime Expo 2008 - Day 2
July 6th, 2008, by in Conventions
The second day of Anime Expo 2008 brought a lot more interesting things for the visual novel fan. Circus held a mini-concert in front of their booth, featuring Cy-Rim rev. and Aina Kase and also presented a panel on their games later on, announcing the future availability of Da Capo and Suika AS+ in English. Okashi Studios presented a panel introducing the audience to ren’ai (romance) games. On July 5, 2008 at 8PM PDT we will be holding a live feed from the JAST panel.

Anime Expo 2008 - Day 1
July 4th, 2008, by in Conventions
The first day of Anime Expo 2008 did not bring much in terms of visual novels. We at encubed did manage to visit the exhibition floor to take a peek and also learned some information that may be of interest to TYPE-MOON fans. Lastly, we hope to hold a live webcast of the Circus panel on Day 2, so please check that site around 9:30PM PDT on July 4, 2008.

Anime Expo 2008 - Tailgate Party
July 1st, 2008, by in Conventions, Translation
As a heads up, please check back here regularly as encubed will be covering Anime Expo 2008. The first item of interest is what seems to be a new online game downloading service, called MangaGamer, slated to open on July 3, 2008, with Da Capo and Suika as their primary launch titles, plus some other interesting titles we’ve found after some searching.
UPDATE 4:
All previously available titles are now available on July 10, 2008, instead. -
Anime North 2008 - Part 1 - Momo-i
June 9th, 2008, by in Conventions, Interviews
Perhaps the main reason we attended Anime North this year was the Japanese idol Halko Momoi (桃井はるこ). You may know her as either a singer or as a voice actress, her debut single being “Mail Me” in 2000 and debut role being Komugi Nakahara (中原こむぎ) in The SoulTaker. Others may only remember back to her days with denpa unit UNDER17. She managed to find time for us to have a private interview about visual novels. It was quite interesting, and is included inside.

Anime North 2008 - part 0
May 26th, 2008, by in Conventions
We had a reporter at Anime North 2008 in Toronto, ON, Canada, which ended just yesterday. He’s currently stuck in the Los Angeles airport waiting for his connection home in…about 6 and a half hours. We’re sure he’s working on the content right now, so we expect that it will be up very soon. We will update you as soon as we have something prepared. For now, we’ll just say that it was a lot of fun, and that we have some interesting information coming about a certain guest.
