Price Break 2012 Edition

  By

Have you been putting off buying a game because it costs just that little bit more than you want to pay for it? Cursing at the exchange rates for being so rough? We know the feeling, and to help ease your wallet a bit, we’re cutting the prices on many of our older games. Now’s your chance to pick up that one you always meant to buy but never did, to try something you’ve read about here, or to just treat yourself. These prices are good from today onwards, so it’s always a good time to buy something new from MangaGamer.com. Full details after the cut. Continue reading

Month-end Update

  By

They say that January is the hardest month to get through: post-holiday depression, bad weather (we got like six inches snow here in Seattle. WTF?), little daylight, and a groggy sense of returning to the real world after a month where it seems everybody but you had at least two weeks off. And then there’s been the recent Animepocalypse where it seems like the US industry is hitting another particularly rough patch. It doesn’t really make you chatty, does it? Since we’ve largely been toiling away in silence, here’s a look at what’s been going on since recovering from our New Year’s hangovers. Continue reading

Hey, Ho! The Happy Freelance Life!

  By

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.)

It's That Time Again…

  By

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. 😛

DEARDROPS Trial Version is Out!

  By

“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. Continue reading
