The Man doesn't want people to know about fan translation~ But yeah every single article that comes out seems to have something deeply wrong to it. Depressing.

Pettankos make the best dakimakuras.

Welcome again to the forum~

Started reading some new vn's that have release dates this year, Saw Mangagamers site down yesterday and nows its up and running. Really glad i downloaded the new one called "Princess Evangile" and love the demo of it i downloaded today. Really glad its one of those at 30-50 hrs long and like long stories that bring together both opposite sex's. below ill put up info in this visual novel and the release. Princess Evangile Description: Burdened by the incredible debt his father left behind, Okonogi Masaya is now destitute and alone. However, through a strange collection of events, he finds himself living at the prestigious Vincennes Academy, an all-girls charm school! His purpose is to mingle amongst the Filles De La Vincennes ("Maidens of Vincennes") as the single male "sample" to promote gender integration. How will these young, innocent, and otherwise pure maidens react to his presence?! And just like that, his life at an all-girls school began... Vn Link Mangagamer Vn Link Ps: I did play through the first week of game since its only a demo, very impressed with the aspects of the game with a calendar / school day times and building relationships with girls that may hate the character since its all girls school. But really enjoy the story and having his burdens make him wana push on and make others happy. It may not be the best visual novel I have played but this one caught my eye since I have played the other Moonstone games. Princess Evangile release is set for March 27th 2015 so look foward for next month!

Why hello there, friends! Thanks to some urging in this thread and by PM, I have decided to periodically share with you some of the hate mail that frequently lands in my inbox. Sometimes it'll be about me, sometimes about Fuwanovel, and sometimes... I don't actually know what they're complaining about but they're certainly worked up about it. Periodically I'll put up a poll giving you a tantalizing summary of a small selection of options. Whichever of the options gets the most votes will be the one I share with you. Vote wisely! Note 1: I'm going to forget about this topic in-between rounds. I'm trying to make sure I'm more active on the forums, but there's still a ton of work behind the scenes to do, and then there's that whole "real life" thing. If you have a hankering for more hatemail and I've forgotten to put up another round, come find me! Bug me! I've got a thousand or so emails to choose from, so there will be no shortage of material : P Note 2: This isn't exactly a classy topic, so if somebody wants to class up the joint and throw together a logo (clip art, comic sans, magenta -- you name it), I'll have an extra dose of guilt when I forget to post here, and you'll probably see polls more often. January 20, 2015 Options (Final # of Votes): 1. Tay's Dark Secret (19) Link 2. Hanky panky in the staff forums? (18) 3. The email which inspired Tay's now-annoying "Ron Paul 2012!" joke (1) (is the loneliest number) 4. Maybe an insult? Maybe a compliment? (4) January 22, 2015 Options (Total Votes) 1. The Feds come a'calling. (10 votes [31.25%]) 2. Voted Santa is disappointed in you, Fuwanovel. (9 votes [28.12%]) 3. Lullaby (1 votes [3.12%]) 4. It's a trap! (12 votes [37.50%]) January 23, 2015 Options (Total Votes) Link 1. The trouble with kids these days (10) 2. Ghandi wouldn't stand for this (16) 3. Fuwanovel: The Worldwide Leader in Economic News (21) January 27, 2015 Options (Total Votes) 1. Do you believe in love after love? (26) 2. I can feel something inside me say... (19) 3. I really don't think you're strong enough, yeah! (13) 4. February 8, 2015 Link 1. I'm baaaaaack (12) 2. The guy who pretended to be batman (29) 3. The guy who pretended to be ryoji (10) 4. Option #4 from the last poll (6)

Guaranteed SR periods are always during non-events. Feb 27 after the 8:00AM GMT maintenance so like 9:00AM+ you can draww ~ Idk, just keep playing . Like I said, it took me weeks before I could pass Hard songs. and it was months before I could do EX efficiently. You'll get better, in due time

And no reviews were ever accepted anymore. Note for candidates: you won't have to handle all the reviews that get submitted. We just could do with some help. I heard some people on the team are spreading rumors about how they're lazy in order to reduce their work strain and expected results :Kappa:

Hello there people. I'm somewhat new here, I, (there will be lots of I's here because lets face, I'm the one this is about) am a 21 year old human person(?) of the male type. I have been using the site for about a year for torrents and keeping an eye on translation progress and recently decided to create an account. And since I've got nothing better to do let me tell you about how I ended up on this site. It all started about a year ago, it was a cold Sunday in March, I was checking this little site called Reddit, maybe you've heard about it, and in the glorious /r/PCMasterRace subreddit there was a screen shot from some manga looking game with some text about how deep our glorious PC exclusives are. Now I'm not usually a big fan of manga and anime or Japanese stuff in general but something about this picture got me interested so I checked the comments and there I would find that this was from a Visual Novel called Katawa Shoujo. This was not the first time I had heard of Visual Novels, I had heard the usual "Japanese romance porn game" description and thought that it was nothing for me, because I am better than that. But when I read these comments I thought "hey, it's free and there is sexy bits, I like free and sexy stuff!" so off i went and downloaded this very visual novel I know I had looked down on others for playing. Later this Sunday I started playing and got surprised, this was not at all the sexy fun stuff i had expected but I kept on going and some hours later in the middle of the night I had finished Emis route. Feels had been felt like never before and I had found something I didn't know was there. I liked it a lot. After completing Lilly(best girl)s route I wanted to try reading another and stumbled upon this very site. Fast forward to today I have played 50+ VNs with some more or less completed due to various shitty/uninteresting plots or disgustingly annoying characters ("Onii-chan Onii-chan Onii-chan", shut the fuck up Chinami, nobody likes you anyway). Most of them 18+ as i tend to stay away from All ages due to my incurable perversion. I like mostly romance stuff, there not much romance in other video games so I'm glad that there is a lot to choose from. My favorite VN so far is Muv-Luv Alternative, big surprise I know, but Katawa Shoujo will always have a special place in my heart. Also, Grisaia no Kajitsu might be the most overrated VN in the world. That is all.

i was planning to buy that....but i`m scared when i sleep it will exploded and i got into accident... "A short asian man died/injured because he choked the silicone of his hugging pillow which pretty indecent" i think my parents will gouge their eyes out when they knew the victim was me.

Free to play. It means he didn't spend any money with it.

absolutely cannot imagine sekai taking the gamble in localizing that game. first its not a bad game, but its nothing that great either, second the western fanbase, ergo the possibilty in making money with the finished product is simply too low and third it contradicts sekais policy with making their games also available on steam, cause that would mean either it wont be available there or only massively butchered

I don't really worry about them, since Kaguya doesn't really set a deadline. I'm still planning to necro that Forest thread, since I'm still stuck at Chapter 5. I take it as a challenge for myself to finish it in one month. Considering that I just started yesterday, I'm not that surprised.

I would be all willing to help, but I don't have the necessary skillset It's one of the things I intend to get around doing when I'm finally out of my lazy slump. Unfortunately, DAL 7 on BT just finished, so that's my plans for today.

Idolized UR is 1000 Normal UR is 500 Edit: Look at all these ninjas.

Max bond for an idolized UR is 1000 while unidolized is 500.

Okay. Time to update the thread. Hey guys, did you know that

But then it's not funny =(

I take this question about as seriously as I take the fact you have Twilight Sparkle as your avatar.

... From now on, I hate the name Honoka. xD

Never give up. Gambatte!

Soothing music and sounds really are great when you don't feel like doing anything. Here's a couple of my personal favorites by Toshimasa.

Meh if Blaz Blue and Ar Tonelico are in vndb (Thus considered VNs) then i can see why Arena games would be considered one, i think it could be a good introduction since the fighting aspect could help people ease into the VN portion of the game and be more accustomed to long reading sessions in videogames.

My wallet cries from looking at those. Main point is, i gave up on dakimakuras after that and stuck with collecting figures.

The soundtrack for one I really enjoyed Shu's transition from straight up pussy to "king". Also his devotion to Inori I realize that it could have been a lot better its just I really loved all the cast of characters/plot/and it made me have feels. Just as you said it "clicked" wrong for you it "clicked" right for me. Its hard to word I just base stuff off on my feels

There are only a few good suggestions on there, but as an entry guide it kinda fails. Kinda meaning completely of course. Edit: That is true. We should be very glad there is some kind of publicity. I guess it makes sense that there are only licensed titles, however they could have picked some better entry level VNs that are also licensed.

So I've finished Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus (actually last night but I took a little time to organize my thoughts). Man that final battle was rough. I did that, all the stories, all the girls heart, bought out the shop, so I think I'm done. First of all, let's rank the stories: Crimson Squad> (Spacebar)(Spacebar)(Spacebar) Gessen≈Hanzo>the dirt>the worms in the dirt>the manure in the dirt the worms are feeding on>New Hebijo Story. Best Character: Still Hikage, closely followed by Yomi, Haruka, Homura, (Oh look almost all the Crimson characters). Best Girls Heart Story: Haruka, followed by Hikage, Yomi (Oh look, Crimson Girls again). Fan-Rambling Time: Question though: Overall: Crimson Squad/10 would play again.

Confession: I love Japanese/Korean Hip Hop and Rap

rembering how the heroines were moaning makes me shiver, especially iori. dunno what that was, but it sounded like some horse on its way to butcher-kun

I don't have a particular favorite artist because I hardly pay any attention to artists. If I had to pick something I listen to often it'd be The Living Tombstone's remixes. My Little Pony is deep.

As if discussions about the world, philosophy and universe weren't enough around here.

My bad, that came off as too negative. The shock of seeing your name over something other than a cute freaking-out girl pushed me into saying something mean. The new avatar is excellent as well! And, umm, so I don't derail the thread too much: The music was the highlight of the MLP scene for me as well, both the official music and the fanmade. I don't know what the community is doing these days, but a couple years ago when I was following it closely, PinkiePieSwear was putting out some amazing music, and then sadly kind of trailed off (and then there were some other people too ). Anything of his caliber happening today? Oh, man, watching/listening to this one for the first time in a long time really makes me want to go back to watching technicolor ponies...

I have no clue why but when I first watched S&W and heard this song it sounded incredibly familiar... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE-Ayx7cFpo

Okay, I took the time to reply to the whole "no yuri in Love Live" stuff. I went and analyzed all the songs of each member that are their solo or center of in their subunit (meaning it's their song). I discluded the anime a lot, mainly stuck to just songs. I also mixed my own theories in sometimes for how songs are related, such as sequels in subunits or other. These are my findings (I was all over the place, so bare with some incoherency below, and bless you if you actually read this wall of text) Nozomi and Eli. The biggest example in all of this is the song Glass no Hanazono. The song literally sings about yuri, and is a duet for Nozomi and Eli (well, that's undeniable there already lol). Nozomi's solo, Junai Lens has a "he/boyfriend" kanji when speaking to someone else she's supporting. Eli's solo song, Arifureta Kanashimi no Hate sings about rejection/a breakup (ambiguous in the song). What isn't ambiguous is the song Eli is center for in BiBi, Natsu, Owaranai de. In this song, she's singing about a breakup in a more calm manner. And then who do you rely on when your relationship failed in the first place? The one who helped you initially because "they understand". Nozomi is counseling Eli after her bad experience. And it's not uncommon for you to fall in love with the person who's supporting you... So, because of how blatant Glass no Hanazono is, I'm making a theory instead of using proof in my analysis of song lyrics.(since all that was theory beyond Glass no Hanazono anyway) Song Lyrics - my notes are in red Arifureta Kanashimi no Hate(Eli Solo) Natsu, Owaranai De. Glass no Hanazono Rin and Hanayo, this one is more complicated as their story is thrown over a ton of songs. The next example song wise is Hanayo's song, Kodoku na Heaven, where sings about unrequited love for a fellow classmate. The catch? She's in an all girls school. Next is Rin's solo, Koi no Shigunaru Rin rin rin, where Rin is conflicted and confused about loving someone she thinks she should just be friends with. Next, Rin has a song she's center for in Lily White, Kimi no Kuse ni, which is about being confused about being in love with a childhood friend, again, a girl, Hanayo. Last, Love Marginal, that Hanayo is center of, just sings about unrequited love for a friend and is ambiguous in the song (more below) Combine both of Rin's songs, and compare it to Kodoku na Heaven, it seems Rin sends mixed messages to Hanayo and Hanayo doesn't know how to proceed, which is responded to in the next Printemps album with the song Unbalanced Love, which Hanayo is the center of, which is another one where Hanayo believes it could possibly be one way love and sees the messages she's receiving as lies. More recently, Hanayo had her solo, Nawatobi, a happy song (for once) where she's thanking her childhood friend who she loves for all they have done for her. Also, Lily White had another song with Rin as center called Onaji Hoshi ga Mitai where Rin accepts her feelings she has for the person in the previous song. Lastly, a note about Love Marginal. I'm not sure who's in charge of making the artwork for the cards and such in SIF, but Love Marginal's setting is on a train next to the windows. Guess who has a pair of cards that are both on a train? Rin and Hanayo. Song lyrics -- my notes are in red Kodoku na Heaven Kimi no Kuse ni Unbalanced Love Love Marginal Nawatobi Onaji Hoshi ga Mitai NicoMaki isn't just a song relation (that intro to Magnetic Today though...), they are even blatant in the anime. I'm talking a scene in S2E1. Nico and Maki are out together, in casual clothes, Nico is even dressed up, and we can assume it's really late because everyone else is at home and in Pajamas. You can't dismiss this is nothing xD. Nosebleed can cover Nicomaki better than I can, and I'm going to ignore all the subtle queues in the anime, because that's all they are. Okay, song time.First case, Mogyutto PV, Maki gives chocolates to Nico, no one else gives chocolates to each other. Darling, Maki's solo, doesn't have any meaning other than her admitting her tsundereness. Nico doesn't even have love song solos, so that's out of the question. Serious, I get the chemistry between Nico and Maki, but there wasn't that much supporting evidence. Love Novels from BiBi with Nico as center is vague, just talks about unrequited love and a "notice me dumbass" tone. Throwing theory in, considering NicoMaki, Nico's confused about Maki's seemingly not paying attention because of her tsundereness hiding it. Diamond Princess kinda supports that when Maki singing about herself being like that. But then, everything comes together with Zurui yo Magnetic Today (SIF song when!!!!!), the duet between Nico and Maki. Again, this is a specific duet with purpose. The song is literally just them bickering with each other like they always do, and them pretty much saying they have a great amount of interest in each other, always looking at each other. While things are spelt out perfectly in Nico or Maki's case about liking another girl, it's as much as a love song in duet form as you can get between two people who can't be honest. Honestly is the weakest two out of the six I covered so far, they just don't have examples in song form. Song Lyrics Kotori, Honoka, and Umi ... I've got nothing but theory on these three. There's a non-specific line between one of Umi's solos and Honoka's solo. Someday of my Life, Honoka sings about being apart from the one she loves, and Umi has a line that says "No need to say "I'll definitely come back". But that's just theory. Anemone Heart sounds like Kotori and Umi love the same person, but no hint as to who that may be. Honoka in Yume naki Yume wa Yume Janai is cheering on someone from their school who's training hard, but not a love song this time... Honoka's Ai wa Taiyou Janai song gives no context besides a love song, There's Storm in Lover, but duets are too vague as to whom the intended target is. Kotori has both Kokuhaku and Suki desu ga, Suki desu ka with Hanayo, but Kokuhaku is clearly them collaborating, and the latter is vague, but should follow the same idea. Kotori center Printemps Songs are vague or not even love songs. Umi doesn't have love songs in Lily White... I bow in defeat, there's no song relation here. I typed all this, which took hours going through all the songs, all instead of typing a paper due tomorrow, go me It started strong, and I was able to prove at least 4 definitely like another girl, and one iffy proof for Nico and Maki, so yay? Maybe next time I'll make a long post purely about song relations (like Kokuhaku with Blueberry Train and Kodoku na Heaven) And with this, I'm going to spend my LP and start that essay

My opinion of Season 4 deteriorated as it progressed as well, UNTIL the epic DBZ-style battle between Twilight and Lord Tirek, which made the closing episode perhaps the best yet (excluding, of course, the episodes which focus specifically upon best pony, who I need not tell you is Fluttershy).

The anime isnt about yuri dammit Stop trying to defile these pure girls :/

This game seems nice! Thanks for the Review!

So i can touch my 2d's waifu bewbs~~~

Me too!

Of course. Everything is going according to Keikaku. Translator's note: keikaku means plan

Is your blood boiling because of certain, recently locked posts? Well boy do I have a solution for you! Come and harmonize your rage with today's winner "Ramenadon". (~2 weeks pass)

Thank you, Major! It's everything I could have asked for. And much more. I dedicate this hatemail reveal to you. I tried to keep the editing to a minimum, but I did censor the language and clarify one or two phrases. Sometimes the hatemail is so absurd I can't help myself and I respond. Doesn't happen very often, but it happened with this one. Enjoy, and please take your seats: the revelations in this exchange may be overwhelming. * I think he meant "or" * I can neither confirm nor deny this statement ** Trying to keep a straight face

I like it a lot, nice on the eyes. Not like I really pay to much attention to how the map looks anyways.
