    By Kaguya

    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.   *holds up giant APPLAUSE sign*   A-hem, so this is the f

Anime of the Year 1981 - Jarinko Chie

I ended up with choosing just one title as masterpiece - Jarinko Chie - even though there were quite many titles close to that and also some titles without translation that could also fit my criteria otherwise   1. Kazoku Robinson Hyouryuuki: Fushigi na Shima no Flone The Swiss Family Robinson: Flone of the Mysterious Island 家族ロビンソン漂流記ふしぎな島のフローネ [1981-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/50) Tags: Historical Adve

The Virgin of Sortilège Review

Because we have Golden Time (Kirikoi fandisc) released, I figure I should make a call back from my past VNTS Review when Kirikoi main VN was released in English by changing 'Maid' into 'Virgin', and the reason for the virgin word here is because the writer of Kirikoi here did write Tsujidou with said VN has a fandisc with the subtitle Virgin Road (Yeah I know that the word virgin here is quite ironic for the fandiscs which consist the after stories for each of heroines). As for this week, Golden

Gears of Goddess Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have both of Gears of Dragoon 2 announced along with Junketsu Megami-Sama getting some progress I decided to change the word 'Dragoon' into 'Goddess' (Translation Notes: Megami-sama mean goddess) so we have 'Gears of Goddess' as the title. As for this week, the most obvious things here would be that this is a breather week after a number of announcements at the last week. That said it didn't mean that there wasn't something interesting though, becau

Strawberry Cube Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as you can see this week is quite packed because of AX that was finally happened after two years absences thanks to pandemic. While in general the AX announcements are quite interesting and that it mean there's a lot of new announcements, there's still some doubt whether we can see it quickly especially when it come to Sekai Project. Although seeing JAST recently manage to upped their game combined with their announcements, we may have some good title from t

Poll: Which VN should I play?

For those who are still interested, I've been considering three VNs to play (I'm only going to play one for now), mostly because, for the first time in a while, there have actually been more than one notable release inside a four month period.   The LoS game looks to be a low-tension mystery fantasy that is probably going to turn out to be a nakige, based on the getchu page. Wakai Seyo looks like what it probably is, a moderately high-quality charage by a company known for its eccentri

WN: Skill ga Mieta Nidome no Jinsei wa Chouyoyuu, Hatsukoi no Hito to Tanoshiku Sugoshitemasu

https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354055057378382 This is a short and complete series about a guy who dies and is reincarnated in a parallel version of himself, where he could see his status and has a skill that rewards him for repetitive actions.  Generally speaking, this story doesn't really have any complex elements.  The protagonist is something of an idiot about things he isn't interested in while being highly effective at learning and mastering things he does have an interest in.  He does

VN of the Month June 2022 - AI: Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative

AI: Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative and Yumahorome ~Toki o Tometa Yakata de Asu o Sagasu Maigo-tachi~ can be safely called masterpieces this month.   1. Eiga Go-toubun no Hanayome ~Kimi to Sugoshita Itsutsu no Omoide~ 映画 五等分の花嫁 ~君と過ごした五つの思い出~ [220602] MAGES. GAME The Quintessential Quintuplets the Movie: Five Memories of My Time with You features a multi-ending story that changes depending on which si

Anime of the Year 1980 - Hi no Tori 2772: Ai no CosmoZone

Marked just one title as masterpiece in 1980 - Hi no Tori 2772: Ai no CosmoZone   1. Tom Sawyer no Bouken The Adventures of Tom Sawyer トム・ソーヤーの冒険 [1980-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/49) Tags: Historical Adventure, Drama, Slice of Life Tom Sawyer is a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River in the mid 1800s. Along with his best friend Huckleberry Fi

WN: Ankoku Kishi Monogatari

https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054885318680 This particular WN is one where the protagonist is summoned... by the demon lord to save him from the hero!  The protagonist, Kuroki, becomes a Knight of Darkness and faces off with his trauma - the hero in question - and begins a story of endless misunderstandings and plot twists. That is, in fact, the peculiar flavor of this story.  Over 90% of Ankoku Kishi Monogatari's characters are self-absorbed pricks on some level, with the gods bein

Snow Pockets Reflection White Review

This week title is obviously the parody of Reflection Blue with I'd change 'Summer' into 'Snow' and 'Blue' into 'White' (Because snow here is obviously white), and the reason for the parody is simply because we have Snow full translation patch released with Snow here is resembled older KEY VNs, Kanon and Air, to a degree with even the producers themselves acknowledge that Snow's structure did resemble those two KEY VNs. Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review and we have several nice releases in

WN: Mezametara Saikyou Soubi to Uchuusen mochi datta nanode

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n3581fh/ This series is the odd one out of my recent reviews.  That is because it is a sci-fi story that contains a bit of Cowboy Bebop, a bit of Outlaw Star, and even a small dose of Tenchi Muyo(albeit a weak version with less mystic elements).  The protagonist, Hiro, wakes up in the cockpit of his ship Krishna from the game he had been playing for the past few years.  He has no memory of how it came to that, and his ship is floating around a random asteroid in a

Anime of the Year 1979 - Alps no Shoujo Heidi (1979)

Alps no Shoujo Heidi (1979) is the only work I could rate as a borderline masterpiece in 1979 .   1. Akage no Anne Anne of Green Gables 赤毛のアン [1997-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/50) Tags: Historical, Iyashikei Drama, Slice of Life Life isn't easy for Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan with a vast imagination and a short temper. In a twist of fate, she gets taken i

Hatsuyuki Flowers Review

As for this title, it should be obvious that I parodied the last VNs from Saga Planet Season series Hatsuyuki Sakura (Also the most well received one) that was written by Niijima Yuu because Hatsuyuki Sakura here is represent winter (It should be obvious that snow here is meant winter, and for translation note yuki mean snow), and the reason for the parody is in regard of Flowers Winter release so I'd combine 'Hatsuyuki' and 'Flowers'. Speaking of Niijima, coincidentally we also have Summer Pock

WN: Anata no Tenshoku wa 'Daiyoukai' Desu

This particular WN is the first I've read that isn't another world fantasy or isekai.   The first thing I found myself comparing this to was Devils Devel Concept.  Why?  There are a lot of reasons, but a lot of it is that the protagonist is a monster in human skin and most of the characters remind me of the characters from that VN.   The setting is based six hundred years after the near-destruction of civilization earth due to a massive war (basically WWIII), and humans have the option

Anime of the Year 1978 - Mirai Shounen Conan

Mirai Shounen Conan is the first anime that I'm rating as 8 - definite masterpiece.    1. Perrine Monogatari ペリーヌ物語 [1978-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/53) Tags: Shoujo Historical Drama, Slice of Life Perrine travels across Europe with her mother, a photographer, in a cabin drawn by a donkey. They are heading to a small village in northern France, the home of Perri

Police of Daybreak: A Day in the Life of the Actors Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week title since we have the sequel of Ryuusei World Actor released I'm obviously make the parody of the title. Obviously since Kinugasa wrote both of Akagoei 2/FD and Ryuusei, I did make parody of Akagoei again by changing 'Guardian' into 'Police' along with changing 'Ladies' into 'Actors' so we have 'Police of Daybreak: A Day in the Life of the Actors' as this week title. As for this week, after several weeks with many good announcements this w

Anime of the Year 1977 - Araiguma Rascal

There are no masterpieces in 1977 for me. Among the 6s, Araiguma Rascal is my choice.   1. Time Bokan Series: Yatterman タイムボカンシリーズ ヤッターマン [1977-I] Tatsunoko Production (Dropped 3/22) Tags: Mecha Adventure, Comedy A mysterious gem called the "Skull Stone" is said to be able to reveal the location of the largest vein of gold in the world. This legend has entrance

WN: Imouto no Iru Seikatsu

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n6442ez/ This particular series is another reincarnation story, but it stands out because the entirety of the story so far is concentrated in his childhood, where he is constantly dealing with problems beyond his abilities, faced with situations where revealing his true abilities would harm his family, and generally trying to keep his yanderish little sister from being lonely.  His name is Alto Cranepot, and he is the bastard son of a noble who married into an Earl

Higurashi: Ebikoroshi-hen Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and since we have both of Amagami and Higurashi Rei released I figure that I'll just make parody for one of Higurashi Rei arc, Saikoroshi, by changing 'Saiko' into 'Ebi' (From one of Amagami release version Ebikore) so we have 'Higurashi: Ebikoroshi-hen' as this week VNTS Review title, which to say may came of as a bit unusual seeing that Ebikoroshi is literally mean 'Shrimp Killing'. As for this week here some of the updates that we get here are quite interesti

Anime of the Year 1976 - Hana no Kakarichou

No masterpieces for me, but I'd like to highlight another slice-of-life old comedy Hana no Kakarichou .     1. Haha wo Tazunete Sanzenri 母をたずねて三千里 [1976-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/52) Tags: Historical Adventure, Drama, Slice of Life Based on a short section of the novel Cuore by the Italian Edmondo de Amicis, Marco is a young boy living in Genoa, Italy, tog

WN: Seichou Cheat de Nandemo Dekiru you ni Narimashita ga, Mushoku dake wa Yamerarenai you desu

This particular series follows a guy who dies after being trampled by an escaped horse as he is revived in another world and told to live freely.  He is given two major growth cheats right up front (20 times experience gain, plus 1/20 experience to next level) and becomes immensely powerful in a relatively short time, while gathering a group of friends and lovers around him (he only has two lovers, which is pretty low compared to most isekai protagonists).   Throughout most of the story, he

Pokemon Golden Time and Silver Light Review

Welcome to this week VNTS Review and since we have the big updates for both of Golden Time (ie Kirikoi FD) and Ginharu along with both title have the word 'Gold' and 'Silver' (Translation note: Gin mean silver), I make some homage to a certain work that have both word and said work is Pokemon Gold and Silver so I make the title as 'Pokemon Golden Time and Silver Light' with the 'light' word is from new fault VN that was released few days ago (fault Silence the Pendant: Lightkravte). Anyway as fa
