The Demonbane Purple-haired girl is "Al Azif" ^^ I just started watching a few episodes of Demonbane, and I have to say, it's one anome worth watching ^^ And wow at that 6,000,000 Yen statue O_O and I so want that Ignis figure!! XD Looking forward to the full tour ^^
the girl from demonbane is al azif and her figure looks good, will buy...do you know when its release?
"We're sorry, this video is no longer available." seems I can't see this video tour :(
6,000,000 Yen ?? Phew.
Awesome, nitro plus is a neat company. Chaos Head seems like a winner, banzai o/.
nevermind my last comment, it's only the blassreiter video that ain't working theres no video tour! :(
wow that new eroge coming out next month looks awsome and seems ultra fun. even though there were some bloody scenes ._.
sweetness.. danny and his conections.. Ignis is hot.. sad her figures sell out fast.. she makes a damn nice figure :D
i want only the original pure japanese materiel, even if i dont understand them well.
saw sumaga on computiq coverage of nitroplus eroges... now waiting for it to release!!!
I wonder if Chaos;Head should be consider "ero" since it's rated 15+. The character designer is Sasaki Mutsumi, he also did the designs for a game called Memories off by Kid. The writer for this game was also a staff from Kid, though now he's under 5pb. Nitro+ has a demo of the 1st chapter on their site. I'm still going through it but it was really interesting so far.
That's a lot of different stuff for a company to be selling '[]' "Suddenly acquired" seems to have become the new catchword of dannychoo.com XD I wonder how much did it cost them to make Joy Max puppet. I can has one too?
Oh wow, Nitro + is an awesome company. I'd love to see you visit Alice Soft though.
your office tours is so sweet and interesting danny ^___^ btw, the goth loli girl from Demonbane is Al Azif ^^ delicious Al Azif *heart* interesting that NitroPlus expands its business beyond eroge but i guess eroge is their cash cow amongst all of their other businesses WOW! @ business card maybe i could also make my future business card like that ^________^
giveaway tool? a tool? wonder what that is? interesting. ('~')
regarding business cards, danny is it ok to give yours to readers? i collect namecards of all the toys/figures shop here in sinagpore so i will love to have one with your autograph on it. i'll be sure to treasure it and worship it everyday. lol. ^^;
I look forward to seeing "Nitroplus-at-work" .
Wow.. It's so good to get a tour of a company again.. Too much nosebleed looking at those pics.. :P
NitroPlus does alot of stuff... Even handpuppets...
6,000,000 for that mecha.... another 1,700,000 and i could get a nissan gt-r.
Seen alot of ero stores on my HK figure hunt. Bypassed them all. Don't mind the pics, but not into playin the game. That blue hair 2D from Sumaga has outragous yoko pai... size of her head
!!! I just saw that nendoroid for the first time at Anime Boston this past weekend. I ended up buying it and love it, but it was quite a hassle getting it on the stand. :[ Took me two attempts to get it right, but now it's sitting up on my shelf with me ebay acquired Lucky Star Fate Cosplay Nendoroids. :D If I can get a camera soon maybe I'll take some pics of the other stuff I bought at the con.
OMG WANT WANT WANT!! Especially the eroge with the illustrator from Myself Yourself!! And just all the eroge titles you got!! :nash: And that calender looks mucho cute too. And whoa @O@ 6000000 for that mecha??
Hurrah for Nitro+!!!!! :D Your suddenly acquired loot is awesome. Can we suddenly acquire some too?
There's something about you that makes these people just want to give you free stuff Danny, what is your secret? BTW all the girls are just too cute = WANT ^^
It's just too bad that I don't follow any of this company's series of eroge and anime. >_< But, I can agree that they have an awesome business card. ^^
oh my god nitro+.. all the calender are from comiket.. my.. you got it all at one go..
looks fabulous danny, the games and calendars and stuff. I really like the picture with the pink haired girl..in the calendar outline
If you do make Mirai Inc business cards like that, I'm surely visiting you for one! Maybe not one but many? I'm sure fellow Singaporeans would love to have one ^^.
Al Azif!!! Love her sooooooooo much!! XD
No fair! Danny gets all the coolest stuff. T_T I like the give away idea!
There is actually a non-HCG eroges available in US such as Nitroplus' Phantom of the Inferno and ever17. Just search around for them. Phantom's game is available from therightstuf together with the OVA. I dunno where to get ever17 myself...
Yes! I'll buy eroges in English, in fact it'll be better if they had a language option in the game so I can swop around as I'm learning Japanese now.
@ Subarunyon : I know!!! They're all Hirameki's doing!! Which is AWESOME! I bought Hourglass of Summer off Amazon a while back. And in June last year, I really-REALLY wanted to play ever17, had been waiting ages to play, and I finally got broadband, so I literally spent a whole week dling it on utorrent.... I wanna buy the game. I want it soooo much. But my damn parents won't let me use their credit/debit card to order from sites they dont know much about. :ARRGGGG: Ever17 is a fantastic game. I wish the other games in the series would have got an english translation. And its such a shame that KID went bankrupt... :sob:
Who is this...!? Can it be Mirai!?.... http://www.dannychoo.com/slide/eng/gscmax/18981/photo/NitroPlus/ I see the exact houge on her...I must be hallucinating
Coincidental poll choice, right after I just finished playing Fate/Stay Night and Utawarerumono this week. If these were actually available in english, I would have bought them but I had to use a translation patch on my japanese copies. The state of english language eroge is kinda bad. It seems no company is willing to buy any of the 'good' titles and no wonder they can't seem to expand because of it. I do hear that NitroPlus makes spectacular games though... I really want to try some, but sadly I only really enjoy them if I understand it fully and my japanese skills are lack luster to begin with. Maybe in a few years, but at the moment, I can't handle it. At the moment, I am living on whatever fan translation patches come out. Also, the Blassreiter looks quite good as well. I usually have a quite negative views on 3D animation with 2D, but the movement and action seemed very fluid and more natural. I will have to check that out.
more and mroe al alsif !! ~ lol well demonbane's the only thing i know from nitroplus , the demonbane racing game was interesting... and yay for al alsif
Very nice coverage so far! Yes, I would buy eroge and non-ero visual novels. I have tried some trial versions so far (began with Ever 17) and I love them all. I'd have invested in the ones that have been made into very successful anime series, namely Fate/Stay Night, Kanon and Clannad, etc. I wouldn't even be putting the ero part first, it's the level of interactivity and character development that interest me the most. Now if you asked me if I would be a jerk or a nice guy in those games, I'd be the good guy. Bad ends are not of my taste (and the same goes for reality).
lovely! Thanks for sharing pix of the goodies! HOOhoohoo! I agree about the namecard, kawaii-ness!
Oh wait... look at that ahoge!!!! isn't that Mirai-chan!?
holy cow so so SO jealous of all the nice swag they offered! Totally wish I were in your position just for the office tour lol. Love Nitro+! oh yea that purple haired girl is Al Azif
I sooo want those calendars. ^^ Eroge titles with jap audio and english subtitles would be nice.
It would be nice if more eroge are translated in English, but unfortunately with the exception of J-List and a handful of titles that Mediablasters/Kitty Media puts out...that's not going to happen any time soon. For the popular titles that everyone wants, it is going to cost more than either company (or newcomer) is willing to spend. This is considering only license fees. Another problem is that for most people who are into eroge, most people are content downloading. The few of you who aren't like that, I don't mean to insult; I speak only for the anonymous horde who rather download torrents and all. Not enough titles available, so people download. When companies try to bring out more titles, not enough get sold despite demand and because many have downloaded and don't want to buy now. It is a vicious cycle, is it not? But cool about Nitro+. I remember a friend of mine worked at a company that thought about licensing Demonbane for release in the US. A shame that probably won't happen now. :/
<3 Thanks danny,i always wanted to see the office of nitroplus.
I have a friend who lives in Osaka and he's a big fan of NitroPlus. He would die to go see inside the NitroPlus ^^;
Demonbane watchable?
Interesting, I thought that Nitro+ were pretty much only eroge and merchandise licensing. Didn't know they did music and assorted others. I wish some of their games got translated. Their plots seem so convoluted. I gave up trying to figure out demonbane and Jingai Makyou. tho the demonbane anime was pretty fun, if pointless, done on a shoestring budget and made next to no sense by the end.
I Think It Will Be All August to :D thanks for the tour for us Danny :) About your poll Danny When its in Japanese , its got that exotic(not erotic) feeling to it as in , its something different you want when you put it in English the plus is , you can understand it for once , but its lost its flavour of what it originally is..
Those calendars are looking awesome, I want one too XD
Another nice tour danny, making us drooling over the stuffs there and the stuffs you got.... xD Anyway the office looks very awesome with those figures!
Sure Nitro knows made gorgeous and atracctive girls!! Sure I`ll have more eroges If can find in english, why don`t translate, I think they sell more!!
Thank you very much, Danny! That was a lovely office tour, never knew that Nitro+ were so involved.
Nice stuff! On the tip of your toe? LOL
erm, I heard their game not bad. Maybe try it next time ;).
sweet i wich to live there in Japan but is very expensiveto buy ticke!!
I think there is a market for eroge in the U.S.A., but I doubt it would be widely available in brick & mortar stores. You can deduce why. Too many complaints that video games are aimed at children.
