VisualArt's have quietly been dropping some bombs over at Anime Central this weekend! To sum it all up, CEO of VisualArt's Baba Takahiro has confirmed that the company has plans to localise Rewrite+ and Angel Beats! -1st beat-.
During the Q&A of the VisualArt's panel at ACEN, a
Exciting news ! I expected that they would be translating their later works at some point, but thank goodness we got confirmation from them ! Especially Rewrite+. Thatās like the whole package. Itāll also be nice to play Angel Beats! I guess. Iāll just wait for the final beat though.
Did no one bother asking him about a release date for Harmonia ? Itās spring and I still see nothing.
LOL, they threw Kud in the recycling bin. Someone ask him if theyāre doing Kud before I start making jokes about why theyāre not releasing it.
As excited as I am for the official release, I can say Iām a bit disappointed by the fact Harvest Festaās translation wonāt be coming anytime soon, as well as (assuming) it will only be available in Rewrite+, therefore making the physical copy of HF near-useless. Of course, even if I had known this, I wouldāve bought it anyways, but you get the point.
Either way, Iām still glad itās coming to the west. More Key fans, as well as easier ways to support Key, is a good thing. :masgrin:
At the panel (I was the old guy in the Q&A line cosplaying Muv-Luv Alternative for anyone else who was there) I asked if they would consider doing a KSL Live World in N. America, and the response was that they were indeed working on it already.
Thanks for asking that, by the way! As someone whoās really into concerts, news of an overseas KSL Live World excites me more than an official localization (prepares for backlash from the rest of the community)
Imagine how much Rewrite+ is going to cost. .-.
I hope the anime is received well, and popular in the states. Or else Iām doubtful that it will sell much.
Canāt wait for Angel Beats! though ! Iāll do everything to get all the scenes with Yusa.
EDIT - Can someone ask Baba if thereās a new Key project (new story) being planned at the moment ? (Other than Harmonia).
Aspirety: It sounded more substantial than just a āweāll seeā. More like they had already decided they want to do a KSL Live World here, and now theyāre working on how to make it happen.
Huh, thatās actually a good point. While $50 is a fair price to us, many people would not think the same⦠and that might affect how well it ends up selling
I have a feeling it might go for 60$ since it comes with updated graphics/story and with Harvest Festa. Either that or they might price match it with the jp price.
