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.

Wow.

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.

The link to the character poll is here!

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.
