Hey, Ho! The Happy Freelance Life!

One word for you: Plastics.

Everybody always asks how they can work in the anime or VN or porn or (fill in entertainment based) industry. In the final segment of this week’s ANNCast, our editor Sloanereinja tells you what you need to know to break into the industry and more importantly, why working it freelance is a very bad idea.

(Also, massive points to anybody who can get where the post title, screencap, and caption are from WITHOUT having to google.)

End of Year Wrap-Up

So, with 2011 coming to a close and 2012 soon upon us, we thought we’d offer a look at where things stand and what lies ahead!

It’s That Time Again…

Yup, it’s Kouryuu’s birthday and he’s stuck at home instead of flying off to Comiket. He may not be locked in his house translating Koihime this year, but he’d certainly still appreciate you all sending him some motivational bottles of plum wine, or at the very least wishing him a happy birthday. Or maybe getting Kara no Shoujo up to #1 on the weekly ranking for him. And not asking when Deardrops will be done. And turning in your beta reports if you’re working on them. And so on and so on and so on.

We Love Master! Master Up!

The Master Disc for We Love Master is finally up and has been sent off to J-list for approval!

DEARDROPS Trial Version is Out!

“Music you were destined to encounter, with friends you were destined to meet—”

We at MangaGamer are proud to present that a Trial Version of DEARDROPS is now available!

Five different people―each lost at different points in their life’s journey, each heading down different paths, each with their own goals and ideals―find themselves unexpectedly brought together by rock ‘n roll and the world of music. Whether their time together is fleeting or lasting, the crossing of such varied lives is sure to be an unforgettable one that forever changes them.

A tale of youth, fateful encounters, and the prime of life awaits the moment all is set in motion. With the spark of a cast-off cigarette and the opening phrase of a dead rockstar’s legacy, the first chapter of their new lives will ring across the crowded hall.

New Hard Copies!

As we mentioned last month, there’s some new hard-copies on the horizon, and today we’re announcing what they are!

Harem Party: A Getting Ready Guide

So, following the positive response to our getting ready post on Conquering the Queen, we’ve decided to whip up another one on Harem Party.

Upcoming Hard Copies

So, I’m sure many of you have been wondering what would be happening on the hard-copy front of things ever since we listed the new set of hard-copies we’d have in stock for AX2011, announced our new partnership with J-list, and then fell silent on the matter. Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to talk about today.
