JAST USA and MangaGamer deliver year-end updates
December 31st, 2011, by in Translation
Both JAST USA and MangaGamer have delivered their year-end updates. From the JAST USA end, it looks like Saya no Uta and Hanachirasu will be sold separately, although there will be a discount for buying them together. The two games along with Sumaga are scheduled to be out before Anime Expo. Meanwhile, MangaGamer states that they’re working on a 4th hard copy game from the J-List distribution deal, which will be a game they have already released that they are trying to fix up. Furthermore, they’re also aiming for a end-of-February or beginning-of-March release for DEARDROPS, while the trial version is currently out for people to try out the game. Dengeki Stryker and Harukoi Otome are still in translation, with the former aimed at a release by the time Anime Expo comes around. As for ef – the first tale, it’s still undergoing review by NNL of the latest build from minori, which if it passes, will allow the release to proceed.

NNL posts ef preview
October 8th, 2011, by in Translation
No Name Losers has posted a lengthy preview of MangaGamer’s upcoming release of ef – the first tale. Improvements over the original game and/or the fansubbed release include the ability to choose fonts for the dialogue display, a revised English script, an improved upsampling filter and an option to use an alternate set of fade and scroll speeds. Furthermore, NNL and MangaGamer’s editor developed two different styles for resolving the issue of mismatched dialogue text length between the original Japanese script and the English script, which is very apparent with the Japanese audio. Chapter 1 of the game will use NNL’s approach and Chapter 2 of the game will use MangaGamer’s approach. The conclusion of the post suggested future sneak-peak updates of this nature.

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.

The overseas website for the game company minori has now been updated to announce the cooperation between three parties in a new overseas venture: MangaGamer, No Name Losers and minori itself. MangaGamer has now posted an entry on their blog announcing this as well as the first two releases, which will be ef – the first tale. and ef – the latter tale. The website for No Name Losers has also been updated with more information about what will be in these two upcoming releases.
UPDATE: More details and links added to writeup and certain statements were removed at the request of our source. The article has also been reordered and NNL has issued a comment, stating that:
[W]e appreciate the summary of events that [have been] written up — and that we’d prefer that everyone: the community, Gemot Encubed, and No Name Losers, move on from the bitter events of the past, as the minori/Mangagamer/No Name Losers partnership demonstrates so beautifully.
