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. From snazzy blog articles to delicious forum threads, and perhaps even a few things more on the shitpost part of the spectrum, we'll keep an eye out for the cream of the crop. And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.

A-hem, so this is the f
This morning an article was published at Gamebiz but the content is shocking it is about the news that the Japanese developer of the SciADV series is bankrupt and insolvency proceedings are coming. Who gets the rights of the SciADV series is still unclear.
List of debts
Sales: 4.225 billion yen (-7.1% year-on-year).

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen was the only anime that impressed me in Winter 1999.

A Story of Light and Dark
Fandiscs are difficult to get right. Sitting in a strange midpoint between sequel and expansion of the original game, they have to balance the desire for more of the same with the sprinkling of something new they need justify their

Because we have Otome Domain release and that we have Bokukotsu cameo in the trial, I decided to parody the latter by changing the word 'Akuma' in the full title (Boku to Koi Suru Ponkotsu Akuma) into 'Ojousama', so we have 'Boku to Koi Suru Ponkotsu Ojousama' (Because we have ojousama heroines in Otome Domain) in which it might be work as another title for Otome Domain, seeing that the heroines are more or less pretty useless with the MC is the

It's partly my fault this time, but hata said today was the deadline and I handed in at 20:49 so really it's his fault COPIUM.
Contains my extended opinion on the F/SN re-tl (not particularly positive, regrettably).

「Greetings, fuwans! I hope you're enjoying the influx of new posts we are at last achieving. Not so much of an influx of translation progress this week, regrettably, but we do have one notable release: Aokana Extra2. While this is nominally labeled a "fandis
Again I'm being too picky with candidates. Among decent works Serial Experiments Lain is at least one that had potential and intrigue to go on.

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for the title I shall tell it in PS later even though it should be obvious. As for this week, well to be very blunt not much interesting even with EXTRA2 release, which while admittedly has good production value (Having good graphic and the opening song) on top being one of the better VN in 2022, although in the end it's just a fandisc. We also have Mangagamer released their nukige, and let's just say that said release is not what I want from Mangagamer t

For visual novels, the written word is their backbone and how it is presented to the player is key to controlling their tone and pacing. Over the years the methods of presentation have been standardised into two types, ADV (ADVenture) and NVL (NoVeL). These two have become the dominate styles and are often positioned as diametric opposites in what they set out to achieve. When a developer creates
Seihou Bukyou Outlaw Star has the upper hand this season while Perfect Blue is an honorary masterpiece

Since we have Mahoyo release and that our Nasu was inspired by Evangelion when he wrote it, may as well make the reference to the Evangelion opening song title Cruel Angel Thesis with I changed 'Angel' into 'Sorcerer' so we have 'Cruel Sorcerer Thesis' as this week VNTS Review title. Also while I know that the official translation is 'Witch of the Holy Night', I felt that 'Sorcerer' here may be the most appropriate translation for 'Mahoutsukai',
Kenpuu Denki Berserk is inevitably the winner here, but I also favor Elf wo Karu Mono-tachi II as a firm masterpiece because it's the rare sequel that even surpasses great original. Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Ishinshishi e no Chinkonka can be considered as borderline masterpiece.

I ended up giving the same masterpiece scores to Mononoke Hime and Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion , but the latter prevails as it's more psychological.

No masterpiece as it often happens. If I compare enjoyment level of those that I rated higher than others, I'd nominate Hyper Police as it's at least logical, easy-going and with memorable characters though episodic

Since Hata has been rip for various personal and emotional reasons this week, he ended up not being able to post the VNTS. I, however, was not so encumbered, so I wrote my commentary Monday night. Rather than lose it to time entirely, I'll post it here. No, I'm not doing the formatting. You can have the vnts data if you must though. I'll throw in bolded tags for the new stuff but no headings for you! This is a low effort post.

Because we have Lover Pretend in which it finally has the villainess otome VN character (Even if for one route only) and said character work as the gravure model, I made reference of a certain 'reincarnated into villainess otome' manga, Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter, by changing 'Duke's Daughter' into 'Gravure Model' so we have 'Accomplishments of the Gravure Model' as this week VNTS Review title. Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review,

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have Love Lab released Maid Loving You, I'll just parodied the recently finished The Helpful Kitsune Senko-san because I remember that manga after I read Maid for Loving You premise (Especially with both male MC are office workers), so we have 'The Helpful Maid Eve-san' as the title because we obviously have a maid and said maid name is Eve. As for this week, while obviously there's Mangagamer announcements along with some other releases and new pro
