Off-topic but Faust Anthology 1 has "Outlandos d'Amour," by Kouhei Kadono, the author of the Boogiepop series, in it. It's a lovely story and has the same feel as the Boogiepop novels.
Also Del Ray Manga USA will be releasing the Jiken series, also by Kouhei Kadono.

I realise I am but a noob, but I've been watching this board anxiously for months and next to nothing's happened. And because Seven Seas says they've discontinued the novels, it doesn't look like much will. So I'll wear the clown costume and try to re-energise the board. Find me irritating? Just tell me to stop.
Now onto our first topic:
Boogiepop Crossovers. Discuss.
(Art from KaitoKaito. I've been trawling the Internet and hit a gold mine at HERE. Maybe we'll have a picspam if a Japanese speaker doesn't see a warning?
Also, I've found some comics HERE (they're the top ones). If anyone could translate, we'd all be immensely grateful.)

| Boogiepop Panel |

Hello all. First time post :3
I'm planning on doing a Boogiepop Panel at Matsuricon in August. This is a first time Panel for me, and I wanna know:
What all should I discuss? I mean there's so much to talk about (the novels, the liveaction, the anime, so many characters and plots...) o_o I dunno where to begin! (Or end...)
Plus: What would be some good prizes and such? I'm know I'm giving away a $10 gift card to waldenbooks (Since Boogiepop at Dawn comes out around august :D)
Feedback would be great! Thanks <3

In case not everyone has noticed...
There are 5 more Boogiepop novels listed on Sevenseas' page! Hopefully they'll publish them! Boogiepop at Dawn is going to be released August 2008! I'm really excited and I hope I'm not getting my hopes up for nothing~

Alright - I watched the anime awhile back and only recently noticed manga and novels at Borders.
So... what order should I read these in? Is everything canon/in the same universe? Are there summaries/scanslations I can read of things that haven't been released in the states?

I'm so glad that there are people out there who recognize the Boogiepop Phantom franchise. i let my friend borrow the whole series to watch, he gave up watching by the third episode, he said it was too confusing. yeah, i'm so glad i came across with this anime. something out of the ordinary to watch...

ok. i 've seen the boogiepop phantom series, but i noticed Dr. Kisugi not reacting to the sound of the beeping tone at the hospital (meaning someone's dead.., is that genious or what? something tells me that she's not a good person...evidently later in the series, she was killed.

after reading the first two mangas, everything seems so clear. like the events before the pillar of light. but i still don't get the logical explaination to boogiepop phantom's creation. is he 1/2 manticore and touka miyashita? does not make any sense

the boogiepop franchise is probably the most unforgettable thing i have encounter. i got all the current novels and manga, and so far i like it. a little confused on the Dual series

| Boogiepop sighted! |

Well I was at the local Waldenbooks earlier in the week and was surprised when I saw both the first volume of the Boogiepop Dual manga, as well as Boogiepop vs. Imaginator Part 2.
I just finished Imaginator earlier today, and it was great. I really liked the characters of Nagi's brother and Aya Orihata, and was a bit surprised at how little we saw of Boogiepop in these books. Of course, the series usually seems to be told from secondary characters, so Boogiepop is always going to be distant, but outside of two specific instances, he was quite absent from the Imaginator series.
The Boogiepop Dual manga... is alright. It seems to focus a lot on sight gags, and I'm not really a fan of the artist. I still think it looks like he's trying too hard to follow Evangelion character designs.
On the other hand, this is a rather somber point, as the fate of future Boogiepop novels seem to be uncertain. Because the books don't involve bishounen men, giant robots or panty shots, the sales have been quite lackluster.
But I believe it was satsu who noted Boogiepop Dual has plenty of bishounen and panty shots. Maybe this will be the manga that saves the series here in America.

This weekend I found a copy of Boogiepop "Volume 3", Imaginator Part 2 that is. So it is out, I had to breath a big ol' sigh of relief. What kind of bothers me however is that for once there isn't a preview of the next novel at the end, nor is there an advertisement for the next novel coming up. (There is still an ad for Boogiepop Duel, supposed to come out in December). Does that bother anyone else?

| Future of Boogiepop novels |
[07 Oct 2006|04:09pm] |
There's an interview with a guy from Seven Seas, where he talks about the company's plan on pushing "light novels," to the American public. They'd be branded as such, and as you know, this is what Boogiepop already falls under. At one point, the interviewer asks about the possibility of more Boogiepop novels being released:
Q) Now, I’m a HUGE fan of your Boogiepop release, another light novel that you have currently already released 2 volumes of with the third due out soon. In fact, one could say it was Boogiepop that opened the doors for more light novels to be licensed by Seven Seas. Will Boogiepop continue in the future under the Light Novel imprint?
The idea has been tossed around. Nothing is concrete, though.
What is the current status of Boogiepop and how is the title doing for Seven Seas?
Boogiepop is a pretty hard title for your average fan to get into. We’ve really tried to help alleviate that problem with our Ultimate Guide articles and by including timelines and relationship charts in the novels, but it’s still a very confusing series for a lot of readers. It’s really the nature of the Boogiepop Universe.
I’m dying to finally read Boogiepop at Dawn and learn Boogiepop’s origin, and I’m sure that all of the Boogiepop fans out there want to see that also. Seven Seas picking up more Boogiepop really depends on how well our Light Novel imprint does. So please support them!
Full interview is here.
Personally, it sounds to me like he's saying, "Boogiepop is confusing people, so no one's buying them." :( :( Having read the first two books, it really isn't that complicated (the anime was much more of a clusterfuck, imo) so I'm just guessing it doesn't have enough kawaii mahou shoujo harem to appeal to kids today.
Wasn't there supposed to be a new Boogiepop manga released last month or something? I haven't found a copy yet...

| Boogiepop vs. Imaginator is out |
[18 Jul 2006|11:24am] |
I picked up the second Boogiepop novel a few days ago, and I gotta say, it's really quite good.
I'm still reading through it, and I'll keep the description pretty general, but it looks like the events in this book take place during/after the events in Boogiepop Phantom. Most of the characters focused in this book are from a junior high school, cramming away to get into high school. Aya Orihata, a character who I fell for ages ago just based on Kouji Ogata's excellent artwork, is a major character in this book. She's also majorly underaged, which makes me now feel kind of dirty. :\ But her role and personality in the book is almost EXACTLY what I expected.
Spooky E, who had a cameo in the anime series, is here and is quite a fat bastard. However, he doesn't appear to be the story's main villain. That goes to the Imaginator, who is... well, I'm not even sure what the hell is up with that guy yet.
I'm liking the series quite a bit, and Seven Seas is doing a pretty good job with the translation. Here's hoping they continue to bring the books out over here.
