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.

Da Capo concreto
January 27th, 2011, by in Interviews, Translation
MangaGamer announced today on their blog a collaboration with Hendane! to distribute a physical pressing of CIRCUS’s Da Capo through various outlets. The release will be a limited edition package with 24-page artbook and a CD of music tracks from the game for $55. Hendane! will be responsible for taking preorders for the release and can ship to some countries in Europe as well as Australia. MangaGamer will also be looking into somehow selling a few hundred copies to fans in Europe through other means. The limited edition package will not be reprinted, but if the limited edition does sell out, a slightly cheaper standard edition package will be made available, sans artbook and CD.
UPDATE: Added an interview with the two parties.

Interview with the Visual Novel Translator
March 3rd, 2010, by in Interviews
We had a nice chat with one of the
vampiresvisual novel translators from MangaGamer. In this interview, he details the translation process at MangaGamer and provides advice for budding translators. He also drops some hints along the way about possible future MangaGamer game releases. We’d like to thank him for his time in this fairly long interview.
