This thread is for members to keep up to date and share their news on Key, whether it is for anime, a new game being released, rare merchandise sightings, casting lists announced, staff additions or quitting, or things around the such.

Tune in and keep up to date!

Update ( 12/24 ): ADV Films has released Kanon Episode One for free online streaming.
Update ( 12/28 ): It seems to be that there is a translation for the Clannad game out. I am currently getting the game and giving it a test run when I obtain it. (Edit 01/17/08: It works for the most part. The story seems translated but the names, menu, and beginning are not.)
Update ( 12/29 ): Hentai game, "Little Busters Ex", announced. It finally happened, Key announced the making of another Little Busters, "Little Busters Ex", and this time around, it is going to be an 18+ game.
Update ( 1/28 ): ADV Films drops Kanon among other titles. Reason is unknown, and ADV does not seem to be letting it out, but it seems true enough.

Keep in mind, I have yet to try it, so if it does not work, it is not my fault. razz

Update:

Little Busters! goes H-Game.

It finally happened, Key announced the making of another Little Busters, "Little Busters Ex", but this time, it is a Hentai. This time around, they are allowing you to play Resident Rules Lawyer Kanata Futaki and Rin Pummeler Sasami Sasasegawa in the baseball mini game.

Update:

ADV Films dropping Kanon among other anime.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-01-28/adv-films-removes-titles-from-website

Quote:
Several titles have been removed from ADV Films' website since last Monday, including any reference to them in the site's main page, store, and trailers, as well as trailers and videos on Anime Network's website. Those titles include:

* 5 Centimeters per Second
* Devil May Cry
* Gurren Lagann
* Kanon
* Magikano
* Moonlight Mile
* Project Blue Earth SOS
* Pumpkin Scissors
* Red Garden
* Sergeant Frog
* Tokyo Majin
* The Wallflower
* Welcome to the NHK
* Xenosaga: The Animation

Notably, all mention of these titles have been removed from ADV Films' online store and trailer collection, even though listings for other titles remain on the website. Some additional titles have been removed from the online store's listings, although ADV Films or the Anime Network still hosts trailers for them online. When asked about the removal of the above titles from its website, ADV Films declined to comment. ADV Films cancelled its Tuesday night anime showings at Houston's Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks theater until further notice, after first scheduling The Wallflower and then Welcome to the NHK for last Tuesday.

Update: The trailers for the above titles except 5 Centimeters per Second, Devil May Cry, and Gurren Lagann are now playable on ADVFilms.com's trailers section. However, they are still not playable on the Anime Network's website, and they are still not listed in ADVFilm.com's store. Thanks, Zalis116.

AIR to resume translation!

http://www.tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Air

While is used to be in the dropped list, it seems that AIR is back on the list for in progress games. Word of this has recently spread, and I bring this news to the Key fans here.

Update:

The May issue (on sale on March 29) of Dengeki G's Magazine will announce that a Clannad After Story television sequel has been greenlit for production. The staff (including director Tatsuya Ishihara series script editor Fumihiko Shimo) and cast will be largely unchanged from the recently concluded 2007-2008 slice-of-life television series. The first televsion series is based on a visual novel franchise from the software developer Key (Air, Kanon). Key is heavily promoting Clannad by collaborating with Gamania Entertainment on that company's Hiten Online and Holy Beast massively multiplayer online role-playng games (MMORPGs), and Yukiko Sumiyoshi launched a new Clannad ~tomoyo dearest~ manga based on the Tomoyo character last month.

Update:

Key has announced a new visual novel in the works.....Rewrite. Being April Fools in Japan when it was announced, it could be a joke by them, but if not, we, folks, are looking at the next Key hit.

Before I start, I would like to thank Carosene for the following information.

Update:
Quote:

The Japanese technology news source ITmedia reports that five companies will launch ai space, a 3D virtual world where users can interact with bishōjo game heroines from Clannad, Shuffle!, and D.C. II: Da Capo II, this summer. Headlock (Detective Evangelion, Neon Genesis Evangelion Battle Orchestra) is developing the world which will have characters from the game developers Visual Art's (Clannad), Omegavision (Shuffle!), and CIRCUS (D.C. II: Da Capo II). The Dwango online service provider will support the service's infrastructure. Each game franchise will be recreated on its own virtual island.

Sorry people, if you are still here, but I am back! I got some news for people here.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

Rewrite:

To start off..... The Rewrite website opened three weeks ago for those who have yet to see. Check it out here!

http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/rewrite/

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Next up, along with the Rewrite website, we got fan-translated information on characters, thanks to Honya from Lyrical Spark.

http://honya-ch.com/2009/03/31/rewrite-character-relations-chart-translated/
http://honya-ch.com/2009/04/02/rewrite-character-descriptions-translated/

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MOON.:

The pre-key game, MOON., is now being translated, thanks to Ixrec. This game is about a girl named Ikumi, going to an association to find out why her mother has been killed, and avenge her, along with two other girls who have their own matters to take. The translation started March 30th, and is now 63% complete!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Air:

Well, my friends, it seems like Air's Visual Novel has started to get back on the translation pass again. Last I knew, it was about 31-33% complete, and it sems to have moved to 39%. I know, the chances of the translators stopping again is possible, but keep your hopes up!


-----------------------------------------------------------------

Little Busters:

Lastly, it seems Little Busters has also untertaken translating, and is at 8% as well. All seems good so far.

-----------------------------------------------------------------



And, that is my update for you all. I will pass on more when I can.

Gao!
