メガトーキョー(Megatokyo)は、フレッド・ギャラガー(Fred Gallagher)とロドニー・キャストン(Rodney Caston)が、2000年8月から連載しているウェブコミック(Webcomic)だ。欧米での好評により『メガトーキョーMegatokyo』は国内で日本語版を講談社から発売されることが決定した。

今日、海外の大手アニメニュースサイトAnime News Networkでは既に発表されましたが、メガトーキョーがこのサイトdannychoo.comを510万USドル(およそ508,400,001円)で買収することになりました。このサイトの月刊260万ユニークユーザー、1370万PV(3月の統計)はMegatokyoのネットとラッフィックと合算し、世界最大のヲタ系サイトになる目的で買収されました。

しばらくはこのサイトのウェブサイトマネージャーをつとめ、来年からはみらいちゃんの美少女ゲームやフィギュア製作が本当の夢なのでそっちに専念したいと思います。インターネットより、2次元のコが好き。でもまだしばらくいますので、これからもよろしくお願いします。

下記は今日のフレッド・ギャラガー氏からのプレスリリースだ。MegaTokyoの公式サイトにも掲載しています。後日は横断社からの正式発表が日本語でリリースされます。

I am thrilled that our acquisition of dannychoo.com has closed.
With dannychoo.com, MegaTokyo now has the ability to use dannychoo.com's Mirai Gaia platform to launch localized versions of MegaTokyo with ease enabling us to make MegaTokyo a truly global household brand name.

As you may already know, MegaTokyo with the help of Japanese publisher Kodansha will be releasing Japanese language titles of MegaTokyo. dannychoo.com's Mirai Gaia web application will enable us to instantly create not only Japanese but French, Spanish and other localized online communities with a push of a button and at extremely low cost due to the automation and artificial intelligence systems available in the platform.

This acquisition also means that we will be able to bring you even more MegaTokyo - 3 times a day! The automation tools of the Mirai Gaia platform mean less time preparing content and more time available to do the illustrations.
We will also be working with Azami Yuko sensei to pro actively introduce Mirai-chan into MegaTokyo as one of Piro's secret admirers.
All the MegaTokyo websites will be merged into a global site entitled "Gaia Tokyo" and the user database for Mega Tokyo and dannychoo.com will be merged together to form an account that we are calling "Orion."

Danny will continue to serve as website manager of dannychoo.com for the forseeable future and will be reporting directly to me.

Well, if I had to choose one of the suspicious post we had today and yesterday, I'ld go with this one for been an april fool joke. :P

And well, I used to read Megatokyo back when it started but after a while it lost the spark I liked about it and stopped reading it since it had became too boring for me. ^^;

I kind of like Megatokyo for its story. Its been a while since i havent read any for the last 4 years or so. Have the paperback versions (volume 1-4) of the e-comic but i dont have the latest one (Volume 5). 

My only gripe about the comic is the slow development. But others think otherwise. 

Congrats on the aquisition... 

(hold a milli-sec, this better NOT be an April 1 Prank... XD).

Oiiiiiiii Danny! I'm surprised and much disappointed you ended being on the losing side and that you accepted the contract without even trying to discuss prices and conditions! How much amount of money for the bribing? 

I'm sure that if we create a special fund we will buy you back as well as your company! Yeah, we will save you!
...No, in the name of Suzumiya Haruhi, please don't tell me you ended broke buying a share of Nitroplus, that the latter went bankrupt and that you have been bought for a piece of bread!
It's...impossible! Nooooooooooo~!!

I was certain that with your funds and resources it would be YOU that would have absorbed them for breakfast. How far from the truth I was... Why has it to happen? Why?! why!!!

Comrades, let us take arms! We will not let this injustice seize this community anymore!
