New Translation Project: Umineko Manga
Earlier this week I was approached by Nabiki to help scanlate the Umineko no Naku Koro ni manga with the promise of cleaning and typesetting. I had been thinking about translating the manga as well except that I didn’t have any help so I decided to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. After a little …

More FumoFumo Touhou Plushies GET
Last December I wrote that I got Gift’s FumoFumo Touhou Plushie Reimu and Marisa. Nearly half-a-year later I have finally gotten more Touhous to add to my collection. To be precise I received FumoFumo Alice, Patchouli, Remilia and Sakuya this afternoon. I was originally supposed to get Remilia and Sakuya in February but Toys Logic …

New Umineko Anime Trailer Released
Earlier today a new trailer for the upcoming summer anime Umineko no Naku Koro ni was unveiled on Famitsu.com. Unlike previous teasers this new one actually features scenes taken from the anime instead of graphics from the game. The art and animation look really good although admittedly it really isn’t that hard to top Higurashi …

Umineko Anime OP Preview
I don’t know the exact details but a 45 second cut of Umineko no Naku Koro ni’s anime opening song was leaked on Nico Nico Douga recently. Interestingly enough it seems the English fan community has invaded and left a bunch of English comments which the Japanese don’t seem to enjoy very much. Quite hilarious …

Azu-Nyan: An Awesome Addition to K-ON!
K-ON! is by far my favorite anime out of all the shows I’m watching this season so I was excited to have another new member joining the Light Music Club. Of course the first thing I wondered about was what Azusa would bring to the show and after watching episode 9 all I have to …

Angel Beats! Website Temporarily Under Limited Access
While checking the official Angel Beats! Website for possible news and updates following the Dengeki G’s announcement, I found it inaccessible save for the top page that was replaced with the image shown above with the following text: 一時ひきこもり中 ５月３０日復帰予定 麻枝准の殺伐RADIO同時配信 Roughly this translates to: Temporarily in the middle of being withdrawn (from the public) …

Key’s Newest Work Angel Beats! is an Anime!
According to Dengeki G’s Magazine July issue, Key’s new project “Angel Beats!” was confirmed to be a TV anime series between Key, Aniplex and Dengeki G’s Magazine. I can’t find the words to express my excitement right now. I’m sort of relieved that Angel Beats is an anime instead of a visual novel since it …

Lyrics: Basquash! ED free by Yamada Yuu
Basquash’s ending song is very cool and catchy. A lot of the lines get repeated multiple times so I decided to leave in the repeat symbols in the translation to keep it from looking like a mess. I wonder if the full version of the opening will be just as enjoyable. I’m still wondering when …
