Q&A: Downloads Related

I will upload them as soon as I get the files, depending on how busy I am with school and such. At times, I already have the file uploaded, but being the somewhat lazy (and lenient webmistress) that I am, I'll add it when I feel like it or when I have time; after all, this IS a fansite and I'm the one who's taking the time to do all of this all for you La Corda fans out there, so I'd appreciate it if you don't pester me to upload something. Once in a while is alright, in case I forget to, but do it all the time WILL annoy me. ^^

Can you please reupload this download as the link doesn't work?
Related question(s):
• Can you upload episode #?
• Could you please re-upload _____ (song/album/etc.)?

As for the downloads, they shouldn't ever have to be reuploaded, that is if people keep downloading from them. If no one touches them for 30 days (I think), then they're deleted. I'll reupload them ASAP, as long as someone tells me that download doesn't work.

I'm having trouble with sendspace, could you upload the downloads onto megaupload or another server?
Okay, after what happened with mediafire, I really got discouraged to upload stuff again, but nonetheless I did eventually upload stuff onto sendspace, which hasn't given me any trouble luckily. ^^ Uploading in general takes a while, so if you want mirrors, you'll just have to be patient. I'll (or another staff member) will reupload the files onto megaupload and I'll update the links within an update or two, depending.

When are you going to upload the screenshots for episode #?
Usually, I'll be able to take the screenshots within a few days of the episode's initial air date. But, as even if I have a little spare time, I can use it to upload stuff, but I can't take screenshots while I'm working on schoolwork. You'll just have to be patient. Taking screenshots is a LOT of work (it may not be hard, but is annoying as hell to press a button 400+ times for the screenshots) and I don't always have the patience for it, so you'll have to bear with me. ^^; All the screenshots are up for every episode but the final episode, but don't worry, I'll have it up by my HUGE~ update, which will be in the coming weeks. :P

*** Does StrawberryMint post the dates of when they're going to release the next episodes?
No, they don't. I don't think I've ever seen a group who's posted in advance the EXACT dates that their releases will come out and frankly, most groups gets pretty pissed off when people pester them for when they're going to release the next episode of whatever series you want to watch more of, especially if they're constantly pestered about it. If you're desperate, just watch the RAWs and find someone who's typing up summaries for the episodes. I

t's a lot of work to fansub anime in general, and for the people who do pester groups about release dates, they just don't seem to appreciate their hard work. Sure, I may have a pretty LOW patience level, but at least I have the decency not to annoy the groups about it as they're doing this because they want to, not as an obligation to the fans.

Q&A: Gallery Related

Do you have to be a member to view the gallery?
No, you don't. Everything is visible to the public, besides the albums that are marked 'Private.' Those will be made public as soon as I upload something into them. :P The only reason there's a login link is so that I can log into it and upload the pics into the gallery. You would also be able to login as well if you were a member, but there's no point in that as I disabled member sign-ups anyway.

Kokoro's been extremely generous in hosting this site (which is CLEARLY my largest site) and all my other sites, so I'm very grateful to her and appreciate her generousity. Adding the member sign-ups would just take up more space on her domain and they would only be necessary if I made the gallery private, which isn't, so don't worry 'bout it.

May I use some of the images in the gallery to make icons/layouts/etc?
That depends on what it is. The ones that I didn't scan, I could care less, as long as you ask the person who scanned it first. As for the rest, I don't mind, but I DO wish to be credited back. With icons and small graphics, crediting isn't necessary, but is appreciated. With larger graphics like wallpapers and layouts, however, you MUST link back to the site.

Subbed-wise, I can't say for sure; I don't work for StrawberryMint and even if I did, I wouldn't know it anyway. StrawberryMint, from what I've noticed, is not a consistant group when it comes to releases (like they don't release an episode every week), so it's hard to predict when the next episode will come out. Please be patient as they have lives outside subbing and fansubbing as a whole is something that they're doing because they want to, not because they HAVE to, so whenever the next episode comes out, I'll upload it ASAP.

When is the next manga volume coming out?
Depends on which one you're asking about. If you want the English version, Viz Shojo Beat releases a new volumes around every three months or so, could be more or less, but three months is the average. As for the Japanese, they release new volumes every five to seven months or so.

Where can I purchase the manga?
For the English, you can purchase them at your local bookstore (like Barnes and Noble, Waldenbooks, Borders). For those who don't live in the U.S. or don't have access to a bookstore that carries it, you can buy it online at sites like Amazon or try getting it on Ebay. Note that the bookstores that I mentioned before also have websites, so you can purchase them there as well. For online buyers, I don't know if the sites have international shipping, as I don't have that problem (for manga anyway as I live in the U.S.), so you'll have to find that out yourself.

For Japanese volumes, they are a bit harder to find as you usually won't find them in the bookstores that I mentioned in the previous section about purchasing the English volumes. But, if you're lucky enough to have a store like Kinokuniya that sells Japanese manga, you can get it there. If not, buying it online's your other option and in that case, I'd try to get them on sites like Yesasia or JPQueen (first two to come to mind that sell the Japanese manga). Personally, I haven't bought any Japanese manga for this series, but I have bought stuff off yesasia, and they're a pretty good, reliable site.

NOTE: Do note that the places and sites that I mentioned are merely suggestions, as there are many more places, I'm sure that sell that manga (English and/or Japanese), so what I mentioned are just a few of those places.

Will there be a second season of the anime?
I haven't heard a SINGLE thing about there being a second season of La Corda. At this point in time, there WON'T be a second season, as right now the manga isn't even done with the concours and there's no word if Yuki Kure will adapt the second game into the manga. If she does, there might be a chance of having a second season, but don't count on it right now.
