Look what came in the mail today.

Neptune Anthology Chapter 3: Pantsu Panic

I am working on the chapter right now.  Expect more consistent and quick releases from now on. I'm still looking for anyone to take on a typesetting position for me.

Teaser: It seems Nepgear's pantsu has gone missing? Who could have taken them! Who ever it maybe, Neptune is going to find out!

Finally, it is here!

Neptune V2!

The game is great so far! At least I think it is. Sorry for the lack of release once again! Hopefully the English only "reading" community will get to enjoy this game soon too! I only had one hour to play so far. :'( Ugh, maybe I should have gotten the limited edition? Anyone else order the game?

Neptune V2 Coming out in a Week!

From left to right and top to bottom

Neptune, Plutia Nepgear
Noire, Blanc, Vert
IF, Compa, Peashy

Sorry guys. I'll try to work on the next chapter this weekend. This blog has not yet died. Once again, a day has not yet passed where I have not thought about the next release. I do not like making excusing so I won't!

As an added "saabisu" for the long wait, I will gladly translate any small picture/ 1 column 4koma you guys want. Have you ever seen a really funny/cute Japanese fan made picture but wanted to know what it says? I will gladly solve that problem for you! I would prefer if it was related to the Neptune series but anything is fine really.

Also, I will take any feed backs on how I can improve each release. I tried to make much bigger changes from ch1 to ch2. As I translated Chapter 2, I tried my best to cut translator note spam and make the translations less literal. After doing some "research" on other scans I think I will change how I put the text that appear outside the text boxes. I noticed that some other scans just "fade" the original japanese text with a transparent white and typeset over the original text. I'll also take into consideration any other fonts. I have not been doing much cleaning on the raws because the raws seems pretty clean on its own (the whites look white and the blacks look black). But for some reason, my releases look very dirty to me and my translations feel very "mechanical and machine like". I'll do my best to improve the quality of my future releases!

7 days from now, V2 will be released! A new generation of Neptune shall begin! I reason that this series will probably become  a lot more popular in the west in the near future! Especially with introduction of the rebirth series on the PC.

2 more Neptune Games to be released on PSvita.

Two Neptune Games have been announced to be released the PsVita.

The first game that was announced is Choujigen Neptune vs Sega Hard Girls. To be honest, I've never heard about the "Sega Hard Girls" series but apparently the series revolves around goddesses who are the anthropomorphic renditions of Sega's released consoles. Apparently there were light novels and anime releases for this series in 2013 and 2014 respective. Not much is known about the game other than the fact that it's a crossover game.

超次元大戦 ネプテューヌVSセガハードガールズ

The other game that was announced is the one everyone has been waiting for since the results of the most recent popularity poll. This game is called "Gekijigen Tag Blanc + Neptune vs zombies gundan" or "Violent Dimensional Tag Blanc + Neptune vs Zombie Army Corps". This game possibly has a "multiplayer" mode? So yeah, a Neptune Zombie game? I wonder if this is a homage to the Left4Dead2 Neptune MOD? I don't know how popular that was since I never really played much of that game. Maybe it is a resident Evil parody? Or Possibly a Plants vs Zombies? The title sounds like a parody of Plants vs Zombies. I honestly expected like a multiplayer Mario styled platformer like the New Super Marios bros game (which I haven't played). Not much is known about this game either or than the possibility of multiplayer.

Also, I'll try to start working on the next chapter at the end of this week. I have finals this week.

Neptune Dengeki Comic Anthology Chapter 2 Release

Hello guys/gals! It's been exactly 265 days since my Chapter 1 release. I, PGEM, who is currently the only member of DH5Alpha scans formally apologize for my numerous past deceptive ETA posts. I can definitely explain myself with this picture.

Now that I have your forgiveness for my tardiness, here is the DDL.

Neptune Dengeki Comic Anthology Chapter 2

I'm currently playing Re;birth2 on the Vita and replaying Re;birth1 on the PC in 1080p goodness. Even though I haven't been pushing our releases as of lately, my love for this series still burns! My New Japanese pre-ordered Neptune T-Shirt should arrive in the mail in a few months.

Of course, I'm still going to do my best to push out releases ASAP... Don't worry, I'm a changed person, it will come a lot sooner than you'd expect.

Wow, IF climbed up FAR. Much farther than I thought she would. Even dethroning Neptune and Noire. Wasn't expecting that at all.

Rules are that you can only vote for 1 character once a day! Just click on the bubble with your desired character and click on the button directly below the characters. The contest will run between 11/6/14 - 12/4/14 @ 18:00 (JST)


The link to the character poll is here!
http://www.compileheart.com/cgi-bin/neptune/index.php

I'm going to guess that this means there is going to be a second Noire game.
Everyone should vote the character they want to see as a Main character in the next Neptune game!!? The last poll was held in 2011 and the differences between all the rankings were very small. Every vote makes a significant difference! With Victory, PP, Rebirth, Rebirth;2, Universe and animation being released between the last poll and this poll the character poll could swing towards any character! Every person has a theoretical 30 votes!

Next chapter almost completely translated, sorry guys for the wait. Expect a release within 24 hours, not that I deserve your guys' trust.

Hello everyone,

I finally fixed my computer!

I ended up not Cosplaying as Cross Neptune at Anime Expo but... I did get to see 1 HDD Neptune and 3 other guys with Neptunia t-shirts... I also ended up with Nepgear and neptune wallscrolls! Neptune: PP! and also a Neptune t-shirt.

Hopefully, with my computer fixed, I will continue translating the Neptune manga...

~PGem

Hello Everyone!

I know it seems like I have abandoned the project but I have not! I do not have any good excuses since apparently I have all the time in the world to work on this translation and work on my Neptune Cosplay for Anime Expo but I just didn't. I'll get to it...

I'm just full of "Lazy bones".

Haha, I must have read "Pudding Heart's" "Hello New World" and "Megami Tsuushin" like 200x the past 4 months. I literally read those scans like multiple times each day.

I should probably change the name of my group.

Apparently I clocked 36ish hours on Victory the last 3 days.

Neptune Chapter 2 Update

Hey guys,

Sorry for the further delay. I'm going to push for a release by tomorrow. My computer named "Nyaruko" died last Friday and I have been busy trying to repair it. I finally have access to a computer!

~Pgem

From now on, to keep myself honest I'm going to try to post progression percentages. In reality, getting 1 chapter done shouldn't take to long. Cleaning this already wonderful scan should only take 10-20 minutes a chapter. Translation usually takes me 1-3 hours. Typesetting probably takes around an hour. Editing takes me probably another hour or so. Proofing probably takes me about 20-30 minutes because I like to actually change stuff!
---
Neptune Chapter 2:
Cleaning: 100%
Translation: 50%
Typesetting: 0%
Editing: 0%
---
I'm still only playing "Victory" on the ps3. After I complete the game I need to start Rebirth 1 and 2. After which I will start the Noire PSV game! Then I will play Producing Perfection. By that time hopefully the 2 new PSV game will be out and the PS4 (?) Neptune V-II will be out.

Chapter 2 Delay

Greetings Everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't been able to get the next chapter of Neptune out. I promise that 1-2 weeks from now I will start a steady stream of releases of Neptune. First of all, I will release as much as possible starting June 16th. Also because of my inability to make releases, some time in the future, I will be holding a contest or poll of some sort to find the next series to translate from Japanese to English. I expect to make multiple releases per week after June 16th of Neptune and my currently unknown mystery series.

Also note that the next upcoming individual chapters of Neptune all have different mangaka drawing them. The stories and personalities of each chapter are not consistent. The first couple of chapters are drawn by the mangaka that already have manga serializations of the other Neptune manga series currently out such as Hello New World and Megami Tsuushin. There seems to be another Neptune manga anthology that is based on the Neptune anime series. I am planning to also translate that manga series sometime in the near future!

It has come to my attention that Choujigen Game Neptune Series is not very popular series to the western audience! I swear that I will change that! I will do my best!

Expect Chapter 2 of Neptune to be out on or shortly after June 16th. I apologize for the late release and update.

~PGEM

Let's "transform" this DH5 Alpha group!

First Manga Release! Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation - Dengeki Comic Anthology Chapter 1

Hello everyone! We [I] at DH5 alpha translations are proud to release our first scan! The name of the manga is "Choujigen Game Neptune: The Animation - Dengeki Comic Anthology". This "series" is a composed of a bunch of 1 shots released by various manga artists. Please Enjoy everyone! 

I am also working on more "secret" series! I will release the manga soon (hopefully). My only clue is that it's based off of a light novel! And had an anime adaption during quarter Fall of 2013. The series is going to be a High school Romantic comedy!

I also am going to make an IRC channel/Facebook page soon! Hopefully we don't die!

The goal of this blog is to better improve "our" Japanese by translating Japanese Media Products from Japanese to another language. This group is in its beginning phase. Our goal is to translate manga, light novels, doujinshi media, and other similar products to the foreign audience. At the moment, the plan is to do Japanese -> English translations.

At the moment, the "we" that is our translation group is composed of only "me". Hopefully I'll find more people to join and help out in our group. At the moment, I'm going to start translating, cleaning and typesetting manga to create english manga scanalations. I am hoping to be extremely conservative with my translations and leave many Japanese words in romaji, so you as the reader will learn new vocabulary/culture as you continue using our translations.

Anyone is free to recommend possible future translation projects.
