minori sends another email to NNL
July 12th, 2010, by in Translation
After apparently receiving no response from No Name Losers to an email asking for them to stop their activities, minori has now sent another email to No Name Losers, this time publishing the contents of their email on (at least the) overseas-facing portion of their official website. From the contents of the email, it appears that minori has taken a slightly less confrontational stance, making clear their belief that NNL is infringing on their rights and what they believe to be the negative effects of NNL’s actions while no longer directly threatening legal action. Furthermore, from minori’s new requests, it appears that they have now learned more about NNL’s future plans as well and would like NNL to cease with those as well.
UPDATE: No Name Losers’ webpage has been replaced by a page claiming they are in “preliminary discussions with the CEO of minori, nbkz Sakai.”
UPDATE 2: minori has also updated their website, indicating they are in talks with NNL. (x3)
UPDATE 3: NNL’s website now embeds a YouTube video of a piano performance of ebullient future, the opening theme to the 2nd season of the animated adaptation of ef – a fairy tale of the two.
UPDATE 4: Both minori and NNL websites indicate an announcement may be possible in the next couple of days.

Various voting irregularities invalidate project poll
November 25th, 2009, by in Translation
With various options being replaced at the last minute due to conflicting translation projects, Amaterasu Translation’s third project poll started off as anything but smooth. Excessive lobbying accompanied the final poll, and in the end, the group posted the poll results and decided that the results of the poll will not be used to determine what game gets translated next as their third project.

eternal flame
March 16th, 2009, by in Release, Translation
In a rather surprising move, No Name Losers has released a standalone build of the first chapter of minori’s ef – the first tale. One key aspect of this release that makes it different from previous fan translation releases is its rather controversial nature — this is not just a patch with translated script files but contains visuals, music and voices from the original game, bringing the release closer to piracy, although the group’s explanation claims otherwise.
UPDATE: There is now a more detailed post on No Name Losers’ webpage detailing plans for a more polished upcoming release, various features they’ve added to the current release, and plans for their work on ef – the latter tale. Oh, and according to their post, this news article you’re reading is anti-piracy propaganda, so read on at your own risk.
