Chance meetings change lives and create new things. However, to do this online, someone’s got to make a place for it. So today I’m launching an IRC channel to bring together as many talented people who are interested in visual novel translations that I can get in one place.
(more...)Previously I had mentioned that the light novel series I loved so much was being serialized as a manga. Well, the first preview bits have started appearing on the Internet.
(more...)My current favorite series of light novels, Bungaku Shoujo by Mizuki Nomura will now be a manga series! I got a bit excited and wrote up a somewhat long description of the series…
(more...)Today there seems to be a buzz on 4chan about someone translating Muvluv Alternative. Whether it’s real or not, few people in the entire world know, but at least to me, it seems somewhat legit.
(more...)The Gemot, probably the largest forum community of Japanese-to-English visual novel fans, translators, engine hackers there is on the Internet, has moved to a new home. Enter, gemot-cubed!
(more...)Cheap crime-funding bootlegs have always been easy to find on the streets of the city, but who would’ve thought that they’re starting to hit niche market goods? And moreover, they’re doing it in our own backyard!
(more...)Less is more. Or so they tell me. Either way, I have more time now that I don’t have ef the first tale hanging over me.
(more...)The visual novel English translation community had lost a major center of news aggregation a few months ago. Now, a new site, encubed, powered by previous staff and some new blood, is up and running! Here’s to rebuilding!
(more...)A number of friends and people I’ve worked with on projects got together and made a blog site. We’ve all watched various other people write about anime and things, and often wondered how many people actually read those things, and so, we’re giving it a shot ourselves!
Personally, I’ll be using the space to write about less serious things than here on Neechin. For example, as I track my favorite seiyuu, and find interesting news about them, I might write a few lines. I also plan on giving random run-downs of the various Japanese internet radio shows that I listen to regularly.
Neechin will still get the weightier stuff though. Lyric translations, the occasional review of a game I’ve played, translation project announcements, etc. will all stay here.
The other writers have total control over their sections, so I have no idea what they’ll be writing about. It could be fun, could involve complaining about things, and there’ll probably be a few flame wars here and there.
But in my case, think of Uruchai as a place where I relax and have fun! Comments are encouraged there too, of course.
