I think all the talk about manga and Napton’s career is actually quite fascinating, but it’s kind of off topic so I hope you’d just go listen to it to get the most out of it. But I’d like to drop my own spin and do my own distortions like a crappy dubstep remix. The people who have better things to do than to listen to a 150-min podcast can get a detail list over at AODVD/ FP thanks to WTK. And you might know how I like narratives. But ultimate I think it’s great, because I think Napton has a narrative going on. This podcast is also great partly because it namedropped “Anime Expo 2007” and “Yutaka Yamamoto.” And partly unlike most ANNCasts, it talks a lot about Turn-A Gundam.
I don’t know if it’s the best ANNCast, but it’s one of the better ones, partly because it clocks in at a massive 2.5 hours, goes over Napton’s involvement with the comic boom during the early 90s with Image (he worked for them as a writer), some anecdotes from Nippon Books and US Rendition, and it’s basically the final salute/farewell to Bandai Entertainment USA. This is the recent rant from Bamboo that was kind of an interesting read. So the maple syrup thing probably didn’t make sense.
It’s also in some ways painfully ironic in regards to the severity of the situation.Įdit: I just found out I was linking to the wrong post. Should be a fun ride going through it on a flight or something. I hope someone can do Bamboo’s rant a reasonable translation, because as you know I can’t.įinally playing the beginning of ef now, it’s really just a tortuously beautiful version of the anime. I’m seriously hoping that will not be going away. It would not surprise me that this is partly why we can’t have nice things.Īnd if Bamboo calls it quits, we may very well have way fewer nice things! I mean, I think I spent like $100 minimum at the MG booth at AX every year. Still, I think it’s such a pain to read these forums–it’s like you get the totally clueless-about-game-dev types (are they from the FGC? Please be from the FGC) crossed with the super-entitled pirates crossed with dirty redditors and on top of that, fansub snobs. This is why it will probably never get a physical copy. I think a big reason is that I realized it’ll never get a physical copy, which is what I really wanted, so I stopped holding out. It helps to have read Akira’s translation to this news bite to get the general background of what’s happening.įor what it is worth, after the interview with nbkz went public, I did buy a copy of ef. It’s also probably a sign: that it’s a scene increasingly drowned out by the “vocal minority” given how it’s a very small scene to begin with. It’s like they’re on a sinking ship, arguing what the shade of blue the sky is. I’m probably unfairly characterizing things but it’s sad and pathetic how people bicker over things like translation quality or release dates. They don’t want to actually discuss stuff. It’s not that people are stupid–most everyone have a good point or more they want to make. Why? Because the retard to sensible ratio is up in there. Figured I probably should hit up some usual visual novel/bishoujo gaming conversational haunts I looked and then lost my motivation in trying to talk about this stuff.
I was reading Bamboo’s latest blog post about the ailing sales of this stuff over there, and how it’s harder to make a living doing it now than before.
