Amaterasu deal falls apart, two patches released
September 6th, 2011, by in Press Release, Release, Translation
Amaterasu has announced the release of an English translation patch for âge’s MuvLuv Alternative as well as Liar-soft’s Shikkoku no Sharnoth, stating that they are giving up on the licensing deal with MangaGamer and citing, amongst other things, disappointment with âge deciding to offer MangaGamer Kimi ga Nozomu Eien instead. They will now proceed to translate AKABEiSOFT2’s remade version of A Profile and Liar-soft’s Forest after that. A representative of Katahane’s fan translation team also chimed in to say that disappointment in their dealings with MangaGamer also led them to releasing their patch. In response, MangaGamer has sent us an official statement regarding the matter, which is reproduced in the last section of this article. In short, they express disappointment in the turn of events and outline possible fallout from Amaterasu’s decision.
EDIT: Amaterasu leader Ixrec clarifies over Twitter that they were more upset with the dearth of information concerning the agreement as well as receiving “blatantly false” information.

bamboo broadcast #2
June 23rd, 2011, by in News, Translation
Last night MangaGamer hosted their second Q&A session with bamboo, OVERDRIVE’s president. MangaGamer’s Kouryuu translated the many questions viewers asked into Japanese for bamboo while MangaGamer’s Evospace translated bamboo’s responses back into English for the viewers. This time the website justin.tv was used for the stream, because of some problems that a few viewers had with Ustream during the first broadcast. Livestream had also been considered as an alternative for Ustream as well. The broadcast was held a day later then initially planned as bamboo was not feeling well for the originally scheduled time, leading to a temporary postponement. During the broadcast, viewers asked about MangaGamer’s current state, future plans, and a number of personal questions about bamboo himself. The web cast can be viewed in it’s entirety here, although without comments that were provided during the live chat. Future streams are planned to be done on JustinTV, and bamboo will be in the states for Anime Expo next week. The following are questions that were asked by viewers during the event, along with answers that were translated during the stream by Evospace.
