Catherine pretty awesome

Himawari was supposed to be released on the iPhone
Has been going through the app store certification process for a month now and it seems it won’t get approved for release (even though they already removed the ero and stuff)

NIS’s share prices went from 37,500 yen to 108,000 yen in two weeks
Nippon Ichi Software’s share prices are skyrocketing because of Disgaea 4 for some reason. Was 37,500 yen on 3rd Feb and became 108,000 yen on 18th Feb

Pics from of the queue for K-on! live event
Also K-on movie 3rd December but everybody already knew that by now

Gachitora! for the PSP (youtube)
Awesome game where you play a teacher and beat up your female student and then strip her naked with your special move

Akiba’s Trip for the PSP (youtube)
Awesome game where you play a normal everyday guy in Akiba trying to take low angle shots of maids and getting into trouble with the police

Jinrui wa suitai shimashita to be animated

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

youseisan

Tanaka Romeo’s light novel series Jinrui wa suitai shimashita is going to be made into an anime, no other details are known yet. I have no idea how they’re actually going to make this into an anime. It can’t possibly work.

Also, Negima movie this summer.

ZUN’s revised guidelines for Touhou

Monday, February 14th, 2011

zunzunzun

  • Use for doujin activities
  • Basically, please follow the guidelines that have been laid out so far.
    Details can be found at http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Yoyo/1736/t-081-2.html (Japanese)

    Also, works that were announced as doujin work are not allowed to enter commercial distribution.

    * As for the contents of each doujin work, they will not be looked through on an individual basis, so please carry out any creative activities using your own judgement and responsibility.

  • Applying to sell commercial goods
  • For commercial goods, approval will be required.
    A friend is helping me with going through applications now.

    For industry people, please use the form to make an inquiry and we’ll get back to you.

    * For commercial goods, please refrain from goods with any sexual expressions (like pillow cases with sexual expressions etc)

  • Restrictions on derivative works
  • The following types of derivative works are restricted for both doujin and commercial.

    - Works selling for profit that have animation as the main focus of the product. The definition for animation in this case refers to “cel animation”, animation created using 3D software or using illustrations combined with effects are not included in this definition

    - Selling through the Xbox360 indie game service

    - Selling through the AppStore or Android market (for commercial use, please make an inquiry)

    - Any form of distribution that expands beyond what the original is doing right now (touhou is only distributed via normal doujin distribution channels, so selling downloadable content to foreigners etc is over the limit)

    - Overly sexual depictions, or anything that defames individual people, groups, or races, or anything that is determined as inappropriate according to conventional wisdom (overly sexual depictions is later defined as anything that breaks Japan law)

    Low quality

    Too much work at year end :(

    Satou Shuuhou starting new manga called Bokuman about mangaka
    Satou Shuuhou + Ishiki Tokihiko combine to bring you a new unique manga about mangaka called Bokuman! Probably a coincidence that the title sounds like Bakuman.

    Snow sculpture of Mami from Madoka
    According to the creator, he couldn’t get the head on top because it was impossible to balance

    Madoka ep 6 gem throwing mini-game
    Only managed to throw it 4 times

    Madoka manga sold out everywhere
    Seems a lot of normal bookstores received only a small fraction of their order or zero copies in some cases. Emergency print run at the end of the week

    Marvelous cancelled their PS3/360 RPG project

    Best eroge of 2010 by 2ch

    Thursday, February 10th, 2011

    Each person could vote for up to 6 different titles, and each person could give an additional +1 or +2 points to a title he feels was really game (total of 3 extra points to spend). With each game vote the person can choose one aspect of the game which he thought was exceptionally good, so games with good scenario get a higher score in the scenario section and games with better “gaming” get a higher score in the Playability section.

    S: Scenario
    C: Character, Voice
    G: Graphics, effects
    M: Music
    H: H
    P: Playability

    Somebody wants to build the Hirasawa house

    Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

    yarisugi

    Somebody posted on the K-on thread today on 2ch saying that he’s in the process of trying to have the Hirasawa house from K-on actually built in real life.

    He has posted pictures of his floor plan and renders together with a brief estimate of the costs:

    1st floor: 62.75m2 x 155,000 yen per m2 = 9,726,000 yen
    2nd floor: 63.50m2 x 155,000 yen per m2 = 9,843,000 yen
    3rd floor: 56.50m2 x 155,000 yen per m2 = 8,758,000 yen
    4th floor: 6.25m2 x 155,000 yen per m2 = 969,000 yen

    Total: 189.00 m2 29,296,000 yen (US$344,288)
    Land cost: 5,000,000 ~ 10,000,000 yen (US$58,763 ~ US$117,527)
