    Introduction   Welcome, fellow Fuwamembers, to the FuwaRecognition thread. Starting this March, we’ll be highlighting some of the best contributions made by our members each month.

And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.   *holds up giant APPLAUSE sign*   A-hem, so this is the f

Anime of the Year 1989 - Venus Senki

First of all, with 100 titles after filtering this is getting totally unreadable, so from 1990 I'm moving to coverage per season rather than per year. In 1989 there were quite a few surprises for me as I could call as many as five titles borderline masterpieces Venus Senki , Hoshi Neko Fullhouse , Majo no Takkyuubin , Tezuka Osamu Monogatari: Boku wa Son Gokuu , Assemble Insert with first one turning my personal favorite from this list.    1. Peter Pan no B

Wordpress, my beloved.

It is not easy to be a blogger, especially not when you start working for multiple blogs at once, try to raise translation company with your best friends and do a lot of management stuff on your own. Thankfully, Zaka is a super helpful person who even shocked me today by throwing a script that was almost ready-to-publish right in my face. I remember that back in the day I loved checking out the fuwanovel VNTS post and it deeply saddened me when it suddenly ended somewhere around the time where E

Life at 1000 discord friends

Dear Diary, It is not surprising that after the 5 years I'm already in this scene (it is probably more, because just 5 years ago the whole VN.Info thing took off and I oddly played some VNs earlier too) I met many people in this scene who came and went. After living for 3-4 years as a total meme, but totally unobstructed by whatever stood in my way to essentially shape VN.Info into what it is now, I had a big public fight with some people that left some psychological damage and required some

VN of the Month August 2022 - Natsu no Owari

From two summer works that qualify for the race, my choice is Natsu no Owari   1. beat refle [220801] qureate 1 Atsushi Yubihara meets the talking cat Momiji while cleaning the massage parlor formerly run by his late grandfather. Moments after he attempts to uncover her true identity in spite of his confusion, a loan collector appears to reclaim what his grandfather owes. Fed unreasonabl

Afterschool Alien Review

Once again since we have another rough patch for Houkago Cinderella and 'Houkago' itself is literally mean 'Afterschool', I decided to make another VA parody with Ayumu of Imaimo VA in that it's Chihara Minori with her most well known role is the alien from Haruhi franchise (Nagato Yuki), so we have 'Afterschool Alien' for this week VNTS Review title. Anyway as for this week while we have several releases from official company and fan translation, what I can say is that I'm not particularly find

Anime of the Year 1988 - Akira

Akira and Hotaru no Haka are firm masterpieces for me with the first one as personal favorite. Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu and Tonari no Totoro are borderline masterpieces.   1. Sakigake!!

Code Kotodama Review

First of all welcome to this week VNTS Review and sorry for being very late here. Anyway as for the title seeing that Amatsutsumi has Kotodama power which to say is very reminiscence of Geass from Code Geass anime (In which the Nook Gaming review on Amatsutsumi did point it out), I decided to make parody of Code Geass by changing 'Geass' to 'Kotodama' for an obvious reason so we have 'Code Kotodama' as this week review title. As for this week, while we have some interesting updates from fan tran

Anime of the Year 1987 - Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa

Ouritsu Uchuugun: Honneamise no Tsubasa is the only borderline masterpiece I noted in 1987.    1. Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari Tales of Little Women 愛の若草物語 [1987-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/48) Tags: Historical Drama, Slice of Life  Meg, faithful and gentle, Jo, independent and energetic, Beth, quiet and shy, Amy, amiable and precocious–the four sisters live vigorously and happ

Anime of the Year 1986 - Shounan Bakusouzoku

No clear favorite this year, but a lot of masterpieces with 7 - Hadashi no Gen 2 , Shounan Bakusouzoku , Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa , Sangokushi II: Amakakeru Otoko-tachi . I don't want to choose, so the winner will be the only series in the list which is Shounan Bakusouzoku .   1. Dragon Ball ドラゴンボール [1986-I] Toei Animation (Dropped 3/153) Tags: Shounen Martial Arts, Super Power Adventure, Comedy, Fant

Idol in a Box Review

Since we have Nagomibako and Animal Trail with the latter featuring idol released I decided to make the parody based on an interactive webapp Star in a Box, so we have 'Idol in a Box' as the title. For more elaboration, in regard of the idol actually it's more like aspiring star as marketed by their talent agencies so it's still fitting to say idol as star, while for the box it should be obvious that it's from Nagomibako with the 'bako' itself is literally mean 'box'. Anyway this week here is mo

Digimon Survive - More of a Visual Novel than an SRPG

I've been asked to post my reviews here, so I thought I'd start with what I've been working on for about 70 hours - Digimon Survive! For those unaware, this Digimon Survive is a dark/horror take on Digimon, with death, mental breakdowns, sensitive topics and more. It's not one for the kids. I'd say it's about 80%+ visual novel/point-and-click, with <20% SRPG combat and Digimon recruitment. Click Here for the Detailed Review of Digimon Survive

Into the Town of Fireflies' Light Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review and sorry for being very late here. As for the title, since we have Amatsutsumi main heroine Hotaru who's literally mean firefly I decided to make a parody of the the anime movie that has firefly word, and for the info it's not 'Grave of the Firefly' but rather 'Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light' (Bonus point for having the female protagonist of said movie is also Hotaru) so we have 'Into the Town of Fireflies' Light' as the title because Amatsutsumi's main set

Magatsu Barai: Story

First, I should note that this game suffers from what are likely budget constraints.  I say this because some of the VA choices are... questionable.  Ragou's VA in particular is something of a disaster, with a discordant mismatch between the voice and the characterization.  This stands out even more because other choices like Kaen and Diran's male VAs are actually really awesome matches.   I failed to properly articulate what the music in this game resembles at most sometimes... and that wo

Anime of the Year 1985 - Megazone 23

Megazone 23 got a firm masterpiece score from me. Other masterpieces for me include Dirty Pair and Sangokushi (1985) . Great times begin from 1985 !    1. Shoukoujo Sara 小公女セーラ [1985-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/46) Tags: Shoujo Historical Drama, Slice of Life Sent to an all-girls boarding school due to her father's overseas job, Sarah Crewe is a promising young girl wh

Magatsu Barai: Preliminary Thoughts

Before someone asks, I merely paused the other VN to start Magatsu Barai (and Xenoblade Chronicles 3).  I will finish it (eventually). Magatsu Barai is the first Light game to be made from beginning to end after the collapse of the company's original owners.  As such, it is only natural (and unfortunate, at least to an extent) that some things will have changed. To address the elephant in the room for anyone who has seen the cover or sample cgs... The coloring really is that awful.  I

Anime of the Year 1984 - Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä

Only Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä gets a masterpiece score from me in 1984   1. Juusenki L-Gaim 重戦機エルガイム [1984-I] Sunrise (Dropped 5/54) Tags: Shounen Mecha, Space In the year 3990, the immortal Oldna Poseidal rules Pentagona, a war-torn solar system of five planets.

Nightmare x Brother Review

Foreword - I knew Digimon Survive here is on VNTS 4chan list, although after I see the playthrough it looks more like Phoenix Wright instead of regular VNs or rather it's more like usual adventure games so my stance is that I'll just treat it as games, moreso if we see the dialogues is concise enough compared to usual VNs and would be fitting as games albeit with heavier number of text. That said while my stance here is to treat it as games, I definitely can't agree with the action of review bom

VN of the Month July 2022 - Jewelry Hearts Academia -We will wing wonder world-

Jewelry Hearts Academia -We will wing wonder world- is automatically the winner.   1. Digimon Survive デジモンサヴァイブ [220727] HYDE, Inc.

On the second day of camp, Takuma and other camp kids visit a shrine where a festival surrounding the local “Beast Gods” wi

Anime of the Year 1983 - Hadashi no Gen

Did not expect to see Hadashi no Gen so early, but yeah, it's definitely a firm masterpiece and the winner, also only the second anime I rated as 8. However, I can call another anime within a year a masterpiece for the first time - and it's Time Slip Ichimannen: Prime Rose . Good times seem to be finally coming for anime !   1. Seisenshi Dunbine Aura Battler Dunbine 聖戦士ダンバイン [1983-I] Sunrise (Dropped 7/49) Tags: Mecha Act

The World of Muv Luv is Tough for Mobs Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for the title I'll tell it at PS later. Anyway as for this week, well let's just say that it's still the same as the last week to me although some may think otherwise because we finally have Total Eclipse (One of Muv Luv spin off for the reminder) finally released after several years age working on the English version of it. Other than Total Eclipse, well there's three nukige releases with one of those from Cherry Kiss. Lastly there's also several updates

Anime of the Year 1982 - Sasuga no Sarutobi

Could not call anything a masterpiece in 1982, sadly. The anime I enjoyed the most is Sasuga no Sarutobi . Hopefully, highlighting it advances its translation .   1. Sentou Mecha Xabungle 戦闘メカザブングル [1982-I] Sunrise (Dropped 6/50) Tags: Shounen  Mecha, Military Sci-Fi On the planet Zora exist two societies: the Innocent, an advanced culture that lives in domed cities, a
