Massive Production Update, Early Dec 2007 Edition
Posted by: Shizuki in Broccoli Title X, Coyote Ragtime Show, Galaxy Angel, Koi CupidIt’s already December.
What happened? Didn’t we finish the summer conventions just a while ago? Geez… it’s a very urashima feeling. (For those who don’t get that last reference, please Wiki “Urashima Taro”)
I’ve been procrastinating blog entries all over.
Here. Over at our friend dot-anime. The Synch-Point one that I’ve long neglected that it moved away from my town, grumbling about the weeds that are spouting all over. You never gave me a framed photo anyway!!
To prove that the Broccoli Books staff have been working instead of just posting reviews, here are some things we’ve been working on:
Galaxy Angel II vol 3 proofs
We got them last week, but I was out due to some unexplained stomach pain, so I didn’t approve them til now. Sorry, the book might not come out in December. Please don’t hurt me, Galaxy Angel fans.
But Kahlua fans, rejoice. She adorns the cover, the back cover, the spine. Don’t forget to get the dust jacket of Kahlua and Tequila. It’s the original Japanese cover, not the “alternate” cover they made in Japan. That alternate cover image… we’ll have to find something to use it for. It’s an awfully cute image.
There’s an Aya Hirano interview in the back of the book too.
And the few hardcore Lily fans… she finally re-joins the group! And with all her weirdness. NG da~!!
Koi Cupid vol 1 translation
Translations are complete & we shipped the script off to re-writer Jason.
Production staffer Yukiko worked on the style guide for Koi Cupid, since each of the cupids have their unique way of talking. I’d like to see how re-writer Jason recreates the different nuances for Koi, Ai, and Ren. There is one thing we can’t re-create, though… they all speak in hiragana. Which gives the “childish” feel to their speech pattern.
Coyote Ragtime Show vol 3 layout
Has been turned in by layout staffer Knuckles. And freelancer Dee and production staffer Yukiko already made their stabs, so it’s in the hands of designer Chris. Who is busily updating the Holiday card list… instead of working on Coyote Ragtime Show vol 3. Grrr.
Speaking of holiday cards… this year’s Broccoli holiday cards features Rico.
Image will be posted soon.
When graphics assistant C-No makes me a JPG.
We also started getting all the materials for Title Do Re Mi and Title Merazoma.
I think Title Do Re Mi will be posted on dot-anime this week… if I don’t procrastinate on getting the all the approvals needed. Hafu~
Next time… images!

I’m interested in joining Dot-anime, but I’m a little concerned with the wording at https://www.dot-anime.us/company/termsandconditions.html :
7. Agreement to Pay.
“7.1Payment.
You agree to pay for all: (i) Contents you stream or download; and (ii) Contents you purchase through the Dot-Anime Services, and that Bandai Visual may charge your credit card account for any Contents purchased, and for any additional amounts (including any taxes and late fees, as applicable) as may be accrued by or in connection with your Dot-Anime Account. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF ALL FEES AND FOR PROVIDING BANDAI VISUAL WITH VALID CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT DETAILS FOR PAYMENT OF ALL FEES. All fees will be billed to the credit card, or the PayPal account, you designate during the registration process. If you want to designate a different credit card or if there is a change in your credit card account status, you must change your credit card account information online at your Dot-Anime Account. (There may be a temporary disruption of your access to the Dot-Anime Services until Bandai Visual can verify the validity of the new credit card account information.)”
Does this mean that I’d be charged for clips and/or trailers, and that I’d have to provide cc info, even if I’m not making any purchases? And does the part about “amounts…accrued” mean the account isn’t free, even if I just intend to use the blogs?

Sorry, I can’t answer any dot-anime questions for you… please send them an email at support (at) dot-anime.us, or use their web form (somewhere under “Customer Service”).
As far as I know, you don’t have to create an account to read the blogs.
And the current clip that’s on the site (Ace Combat) is free to watch.
