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.

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.
