New patreon goal: Enough to hire Andrew Cunningham to translate the other novels.
Boogiepop sounds really interesting.
Or or we use that patreon money to buy a room, lock Digibro with a "how to learn Japanese" and then leave him in there for 2 months.
Digi kills two birds with one stone, he is now able to read the manga AND he will be able to read Japanese!
But Boogiepop is also one of my favorite light novel series and I also want to read the rest of the series :(
great idea
That would probably be better as a Kickstarter
???
6 years later, but good video! I’m a big fan of the Boogiepop Phantom anime and have read 4 of the light novels with 2 more on my shelf waiting to be read. Hope you got to check out the newer adaptation!
FLCL get a second season, Kino's Journey get a new season, the first generation of digimon got a movie, jojo got a remake, berserk got a 'remake' . There is a trend for old anime to return. There is always hope for a new Boogiepop anime.
Jackie Chen wait Kino's Journey is getting a new season ?
Jackie Chen I love how you put quotations to berserk. :p
When did Kino get a new season???
Jackie Chen There's also stuff going on for Legend of the Galactic Heroes as well.
3rd reboot of fullmetal alchemist?!
You have no Idea how much this represents my feelings for the series, ty for making it, i thought for a few years i was the only one who even knew the series :/
Boogiepop phantom is a masterpiece!
if the viewers don't understand, what makes you think that the writers understand?
too often is lazyness mistaken for genius.
Sometimes it Snows in April is another musical reference. It's a song by Prince off of his album Parade.
I could literally listen to you talk about Boogiepop forever. This totally sounds like it's right up my alley.
holy shit when i saw boogiepop i liked it a lot, and now that ive watched this vid i really want to read the fkin novel!!!
New video for the PedanticRomantic, "How Digibro get the BoogiePop's novels translated".
I love this series so much. I watched Boogiepop Phantom repeatedly without knowing anything about the larger IP because I thought that the anime was all there was to the story. It's like trying to glean everything about the Star Wars universe from the Tales of the Bounty Hunter collection of short stories. Agh. Somehow I got enough of the larger meta-plot that I had to write it all down, before turning it into a review for T.H.E.M. Anime (one of the old anime review websites). I think, surprisingly, the synopsis still holds up even if my writing was atrocious. Anyways. All that to say, I love this anime, and I love this series of videos you're doing. It gave me a reason to watch Welcome to the NHK, and a reason to re watch Boogiepop Phantom yet again. Thanks Digibro.
Just finished watching Boogiepop Phantom, really enjoyed it. Now I'm just salty af that this genre has mostly died.
And now after this boogiepop is back now and Andrew cunningham is translating the rest of the series and I love it!
Loooove the animated Boogiepop! The show was one of my first anime experiences. Still a favorite of mine.
its fucking hard to search for boogie pop figures
because all that shows up is oogie boogie pop vinyl figures
Oof
Yo, this franchise sounds amazing.
Just watched the first episode of Phantom out of curiosity. Whoa, it's like Serial Experiments: Lain's twin sister or something. Did not expect that level of similarity.
Yeah it's basically not quite good ver of lain. Occultic nine is basically boggiepop phantom if it was made nowadays.
you take those words back good sir
It's really confusing cause it was made with the expectation that you've already read up to the sixth book which is just absurd for something in a completely different medium, I still like it though and it's much better than that new anime
I now feel greatly encouraged in continuing the Visual Novel I have been writing for 3 years.
Trying to read Light-Novels in America in the early 2000's. Oh no.
Boogie pop remake by the one punch man team doing the light novels, and the light novels will be fully released in English in omnibus format.
Hey Digibro, I just wanted to say that I'm really enjoying these Old-ass anime casts and hope you keep making them!
Man, my heartbreak moment was Kino's Journey. Fell in the love with the anime, hunted down the Japan-exclusive OVAs, and discovered it was an LN series, and vol. 1 was already out. So I bought that, excited to read the stories. Well, the first volume was pretty much all covered in the anime, but that was alright, since we also saw a different perspective on some of the episodes. So then, I wait for Volume 2... and waited... and waited... and waited... and finally, someone "leaked" that it had been canceled, the publisher just never said anything.
I tried reading some of the fan translations, but I find such project difficult to read because of how they just don't flow well. It's a really shame, because some of the stories apparently follow other characters on their journies, too, and that could have been cool to see.
Super Jone That snippet of what we missed just ruined my day. Thanks.
It's what I'm here for! :)
Apparently, that was pretty common practice at the time. Manga was really booming, so they were just shotgunning as many vol.1's as they could get the rights to, seeing what was selling the most and keep printing those, and then quietly drop all the rest without saying anything.
Well, it's here now.
I hope you're happy.
It's sad because I'm pretty sure TheAnimeMan says it's one of his favourites and recommends it, but he's fluent in Japanese so I'm certain he's read them all.
Do you remember what video !
He's not just fluent in Japanese he IS Japanese lol
Echoes is a Pink Floyd song on their album Meddle
It's always interesting to listen to you talk about something you're passionate about, even if I've never heard of it before.
And now we are getting Boogiepop and other January 4th, 2019
How did I forget this book??? As soon as you mentioned the split personality stuff, I instantly remembered this manga I read in middle school that a friend lended me. Gosh, I gotta read the novels.
About that "spend the years to master the language" thing, I sometimes think that attitude is a big reason so many weebs can't learn Japanese despite consuming nothing but Japanase shit all their life.
People keep doing stupid shit like memorizing vocabulary lists and filling notebooks with kanji for years, dreaming of that perfect honeymoon with a novel of their dreams once the training arc is over, except it's never going to be over since the actual thing they need to grind to master nihingo is reading the fucking books they want.
Basically, spam Yen Press or Vertical to release Boogiepop.
Speaking of Jojo, it really shows that he was a fan, not just in the musical references, but other certain references in the story. Like I always thought Boogiepop's outfit is reminiscent of Jotaro's school uniform. But one interesting bit was in Vs Imaginator part 2, where Spooky E described the chemical weapon he was using as the virus of Purple Haze from Jojo Part 5, with a slight twist that he would use when he created Purple Haze Distortion in his Jojo novel, Purple Haze Feedback. I thought that was interesting.
I remember all of this! I loved this series. Wished we could've gotten more.

Q and A with Andrew Cunningham if you are interested
Saw every episode of boogie pop phantom and loved it
Well digibro, they're finally making a boogiepop and others anime. Time to see if it's going to be decent or a complete disaster.
Seven Seas has just announced that they are bringing back the Boogiepop Light Novels! www.sevenseasentertainment.com/2018/03/16/boogiepop-is-back-with-seven-seas-license-of-additional-light-novels/
It's different but if you like Boogie Pop, youd probably like 1000 Tales. It's really good. It has a lot of the extreme mystery/suspense intrigue I got from BoogiePop. Also, the discontinued manga Homunculus was a LOT like BoogiePop. Super good mysterious. Ends abruptly. Guess it wasnt popular enough.
Digi, just learn Japanese already, it's so worth it for someone who loves Japanese media. I know you have the time for it :P Also I need to read more Boogiepop now, I only have 3 volumes.
This seems interesting, but I'm afraid I will like it too much and be sad we don't have the rest like you.
We're finally going to get a new anime next year which gives me hope that more will be animated and maybe more of the novels will be translated in English. God, I hope so...Boogiepop is so underrated.
Fuck, this sounds so interesting that it pains me most of it went untranslated. I feel a fraction of your pain, Digi.
When you realise it's just one image....
I watch all of Digis videos. I don't read the title and I was always under the impression this style of content was usually on After Dark. It's always a surprise, although I have seen podcasts hosted on CZcams with some visual compliments, basic yes, still there though.
Digi is going to talk about dot hack anime and how never happens something in them. This gonna be gud
Listening to the opening, are you me? With Haruhi Suzumiya and SAO really making light novel adaptations huge with stuff like Toradora, Durarara, DanMachi, Devil is a Part Timer, etc all coming out, I always hoped for more Boogiepop. And now all these years later, FINALLY a new anime and FINALLY Seven Seas will release novels 4 and 5. Who knows if this is just going to start the cycle over but hopefully this time it'll get enough attention to at least get some fan translations of the books if we can't get 7+. And no there are no fan translations, I've looked for years.
I found this podcast episode to be very interesting, vagueness and all. I had actually just started looking into the anime series, so it's interesting to now know how little it had to do with the actual source material. It does make me a little hesitant to now watch the anime, because what if I love it and then want to experience more and can't? My struggle to acquire and read all of Ghost Hunt-- a series where all but the final volume was translated-- is still fresh enough in my mind to put off getting into Boogiepop just yet...
About your point with being in love with a series that is not fully translated in Japanese -- magical fans understand the pain of that for a bunch of titles from the 80's and preceeding. Yes, I can understand some Japanese and would love to read the Boogiepop novels and remember Seven Seas had a lot of random ideas for translations that didn't seem to work out.
I loved boogiepop and others. I read all the ones that came out. Boogiepop and Others, Boogiepop vs. Imaginator Part 1, 2. And Boogiepop at Dawn. It was awesome. It was existential, subtly unsettling, and even comforting, and very sad. Boogiepop vs Imaginator was my favorite arch especially with Shinjiro, who was a closet gay. It really subverted the dynamic of Masaki, who's like the typical Shounen male. I loved the references of Prince with Spook E and Camile ( both characters are named after his multiple-personalities). I know the others are coming out because of the anime now. So I'm looking forward to reading the other novels.
And now in 2018 we got an anime adaptation of Boogiepop by Madhouse!
nice video. I really liked it. I didn't know boogiepop phantom was a LN
Boogie pop was great. One of those rare animes I enjoyed at random.
I remember saving money in highschool to buy the books. this is just making me feel depressed
Digibro stop being relatable
Fuck yeah! Boogiepop is AWESOME!
To be fair, I did learn english solely because I wanted to read homestuck cause it wasn't totally translated at the time (it still isn't), so it's possible to learn a language that way
So what I got out of this is that Digibro wants to get eaten by the Manticore.
I mean I'm sure that can be arranged...
I can relate to your pain: I've been really frustrated at the out-of-print/stopped-in the-middle-of-translation old Tokyopop titles that didn't get picked up by another publisher.
I'm so ready for the .hack episode!
This is the only Oldcast that doesn't have a mp3 download.
This reminds me of my love for "The Pirate and the Princess: The Timelight Stone." www.goodreads.com/book/show/3276532-the-pirate-and-the-princess-volume-1 The first book was released by seven seas way back and I read it at about the right age and eagerly wished for volume 2/the next few books. Never got translated--I'll never be able to see the end of this series--especially since these series never got enough traction, even the originals.
I feel the same way about the Twelve Kingdoms novels.
Wait, is this the first I've heard of you having written a book? Now I want to read it! :D
You need to watch the Digibro After Dark channel
He wrote it way back in 2010/2011, and was only 19 at the time.
It's not a very good book in the traditional sense of the word, but it is a very interesting book, and I would love to see Digi salvage the series he was planning on doing
Is that... really what it's about? What. Okay, now I _really_ want to read it, even if it's bad--_especially_ if it's bad! :P
ikr wheres the link?
It was actually pretty easy to find. Search "novel" on /r/digibro.
It snowed here in Hungary and it's April! THE IMAGINATOR WAS RIGHT!
Now we're getting Omnibus releases of old and new novels. Yeah!
hearing Digi sing King Crimson gives me life
still remember when I read the first volume in the library, very interesting. unfortunately it seems to have disappeared since then...
It's even worse for visual novels.
Mahoutsukai no Yoru anyone? It's been 5 years already and we just got 7 chapters out of 13 I think.
The last route for Majikoi took for EVER to release also. And those are kind of big: for more niche projects there is litteraly no chance in hell to see them translated in your lifetime.
garak55 Yup. Being a VN fan really sucks most of the time. :(
Im glad to be here
I've watched your video on light novels, where you also talk about Boogiepop. With this one I really wanna read those books; but I'm googling and there don't appear to be other translations in English, and no translations at all in Spanish, my native language.
MakiPcr Yo leí las cuatro primeras novelas en inglés y... que se yo. No se sienten como la serie y tampoco se lucen como novelas. Los torrentes es nyaa están caídos pero en la descripción está el link a mediafire.
Las traducciones que existen si se encuentran. Y eso que "no se sienten como la serie" me parece como evidente ya que Digibro dijo que Boogiepop Phantom no tiene nada que ver con las novelas y ni siquiera incluye al personaje principal de las novelas
MakiPcr No hay un personaje principal en las novelas, es un mambo más coral. La serie agarra cachos de varias novelas, como la casa de Nagi de la novela 3 o el evento de Ecos de la 1 o el pibe que morfa insectos que creo que es de la 2.
No son novelas difíciles de leer ni nada, no puedo hablar de lo que está en japonés, pero las que se consiguen son super YA y se leen en una tarde.
Now you got what you wanted LEL
I wish you'd put up MP3 links for these like you do with the eromanga podcasts and the pcp.
I just end up ripping the audio for them myself anyway to save traffic on phone when out and about.
I have mp3s for all the other episodes, but this one got lost somehow. I may try and make one tho.
At this point I myself already used my youtube -> MP3 app in chrome to get it, but yea for other fans it would probably help.
Whataboutthings CZcams red lets you save the videos like these for offline and background play makes it easy
Digibro Having those google drive links in the description makes your podcasts very easy to listen to. CZcams consumes the data limits.
I wonder what will be the first anime you cover in this series of videos will be that I haven't seen already.
first minute i could only think of the tales series
Same thing happened with 'Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei'
Of Course today there's fan-scanlations, so it's not as much of a problem now.
Still feels kinda sad though imo...
I actually recently bought the first and loved it but the others are hard to get now
I was lucky enough to find the first novel in mint condition for $4.00 at Half Price Books yesterday. Now I'm dying to read the rest, and while the Boogiepop Returns novels are fairly cheap on amazon, Boogiepop at dawn is around 140 dollars wtf. I wish I had known about this series when it started releasing.
Man I didn't realize there were light novels to Boogie Pop. Hopefully I can find the first few books. I loved the anime ... that live action movie .... .... not so much.
Lets hope they translate the rest after this years anime
What are your thoughts on Boogiepop finally getting adapted? I'm fairly excited yet also slightly warry (since recent trends of bringing back old series is worrying). But this means that the Light Novels are finally getting all translated, so I'm incredibly excited for that.
I've been getting into Nisio Isin novels and these sound similar, but way more strange. I guess this is a part of Japanese culture that doesn't translate or more precisely hasn't been translated. Also Haruki Murakami does musical allusions to old rock tracks, so that could be where that habit got picked up from.
Another reason why learning Japanese is 100% worth it!
Yeah omfg I want my book to 100% be musical references. Have a religious character who constantly says "I'm going for the one!". Or a porn direction who's director alias is "close to the edge". It's one of those things that is so dorky and lame that it is actually a modulus function and becomes cool as shit. Also yeah holy fuck boogiepop sounds cool as fuck, wish there could be a kara no kyoukai style anime.
Learn a second language: i.e. Japanese..... I think it can't be nearly as time consuming as ranting for hours/days/years of your life on anime. I would think because of the passion for an originally Japanese media and because of the vast amount of exposure to the language Digi would have would make it only simpler to learn Japanese. What's wrong with the majority of Americans who are monolingual.
These books sound just up my alley, and want to read them all. Sucks for me.
Welcome new anime is here
Wow only 1:30 in and already getting flashes of Guyver. This is going to get emotional.
Milhouse Van Houten You can buy the japanese novels, take pics as proof and then ask for up to date scanlations, that's how the only group doing them deals.
I find it funny that my experience with boogiepop is the exact opposite. I loved every little think about the anime and then read the mangas and translated novels and I could hold all the disapointment. I'd love to see how the later novels go to have a final feeling about the franchise.
On the music subject, I don't think it is that weird to try and follow the references. I took notes on all the albums and name drops in High Fidelity when I was like 13. When you're defining your tastes and find references to other genres inside stuff you loved you'll obviously try to see if those give you the same reaction. I don't know if you'll find this as a compliment or an insult but I think you're pretty normal on that regard.
can you make a video on what are the best stand alone episodes in anime? thanks man
at like 9:51
"Man that sounds.... hm like the first few volumes of Yugioh"
I'm curious to know what you think about the new anime from 2019
"sometimes it snows in april"
If that represents chaos, clearly you've never been to Canada
Because here, snow in april almost feels like a standard thing.
do they sell translated LNs in barnes and nobles? i haven't been to a physical barnes and nobles store in a while yo, and i love to physically check out a book before i buy
They do, tho I'm pretty sure the boogiepop books are out of print so you might not find them.
If you care so much, pay for it to be translated. I did that for the obscure series I cared about.
Boogiepop got the anime in 2019.
The whole idea with soundtracks for a read is what a lot of new (mostly korean) webtoons do today. Maybe you should look into some of them, i think they are fresher than a lot of japanese stuff today.
I don't see the mp3 link... is it coming?
I want to watch the new 2018 adaptation... So what's the watch order for the anime
光Hikari i heard u can just watch this one withought anything else
hey man, I'm halfway through your video, but I want to ask. Have you watched the boogiepop and others live action adaptation? Not very good but it tells the story.
He mentions that very early on in the video.
haha, missed that part. thanks.
I haven't watched dot Hack even though I'm a big fan of Noir, Madlax and El Cazador.
ugh... I also have a love/hate relationship with .hack, more hate than love
cause I love the story of the first game, the infection/mutation/outbreak/quarantine ones, but I fucking hate everything else from it besides maybe sign
Boogiepop was one of favorite when I was a junior high school student.
One terrifying thing is Boogiepop is still on going series.
I don't think I can read the ending.
In the first place, does It have the ending ?
also cant fucking wait for .hack, I loved the games, not sure about the anime that were made though
Insidious_Lars Are they releasing something .hack soon?
you wish, I was talking about digi's next video, which will cover the franchise
