Gamescom Report: Very Well Received, Again!

Hi everyone, I’m eating a lot of Soba (wheat noodles which you dip into Soy-sauce) after coming back from Germany.
I went to Gamescom which is the last of all the US/EU trips I’ll been going to this summer.

It was interesting to see that Germany is a big PC market, there were many PC booths.
There were also many music game booths with guitars, drums keyboards, etc.
There are many Japanese gamers who play those in the arcades to show off, but it was amazing to see so many people singing one after the other in turns because Japanese people are too shy to sing in front of everybody.

Regarding TvC, I got interviewed by many European media people. I’m glad to see that they were interested the game.
The awareness of Tatsunoko was higher than America – there was an Italian journalist who explained to me a lot about how he watched Casshern when he was young, there was a Spanish journalist who told me about “Dash Kappei” (a sports comedy anime that was on air in Japan for a year from 1981) which was popular in Spain, and he told me to include the character as additional TvC characters, and many other interesting and fun interviews.

Here is a photo of a Cologne beer that I drank called “Koelsch”.

It’s September and the final push for TvC is getting quite busy now.

Thanks for reading, next week I hope to announce something new for everyone!
