You're in for a ride if you're already complaining about this so early on Shana too tsun.

https://www.google.com/ <-- p good site.

You're gonna make me work for this one. There's the obligatory: Shin Sekai Yori F/SN UBW 2014 There is the light novel adaptations without a definitive conclusion: Magical Index and Scientific Railgun - Action, but lots of characters? I don't know, it just seems to 'fit'. Dog Days - Season 1 I can almost guarantee you will like based on description from before, while the rest may be a little worse. A Sunday Without God - I hardly see anyone talk about this show, probably because it went under the radar with an "incomplete" end. It has one of my favorite soundtracks, ever. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Probably the odd one out on this list, as I don't know where you might possibly be able to stream it. It does fit though. Familiar of Zero - I've never seen it, but I've read the books which were good, and according to Eclipsed and Nosebleed in the Anime Recently Watched thread, it's not all awful like I tend to think. I Don't Have Many Friends - I'm surprised I didn't see anyone recommend this yet. Beyond the Boundary Durarara!! - Might be one of the better shows in the SoL genre. Very enjoyable. I could recommend any number of ecchi rom-com series but of the two that stand out for me would be Noucome - I just enjoyed it, its probably sub par in everyone else's eyes, but I don't care. Highschool DxD - The magnum opis of harem ecchi rom-com's currently animated. I'm of the belief that you can't watch a genre without seeing the best it can offer. For these, I just like to classify them as "movie-like". When I watched these, they just felt like movies. Call me weird, again, I don't care. Most of these will be difficult or impossible to stream legally because of their nature. I'm still going to recommend them anyway. Terror in Resonance - Pretty much a recommend no matter who it is, I think it's a classic. It's on Hulu. Katanagatari - I can't think of anything to say about this one, it's just different. Patema Inverted - It's a movie, I highly enjoyed it. It felt like the old Ghibli stuff I watched as a child. Time of Eve - Wonderful little OVA which I think got kickstarted to be translated into many different languages. It's kind of wonderful. It should be on Crunchy. Rage of Bahamut - Genesis - It's a fun story that is basically a shounen that continues to keep the rising action of the story until the last episode of the show. It's on Hulu. [C] - Money of Soul and Possibilty Control - Toss up, it starts off fairly well and slowly gets more and more abstract. Things that don't really fit anywhere but I want to recommend anyway. Mardock Scramble - Movie series that is too symbolic for me to fully analyze successfully, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Higurashi - It's a visual novel adaptation, and probably DEEN's best work. Kara no Kyoukai series - I just like Nasu? It's animate by UFOTable so the animation quality is god tier like F/Z and UBW World Conquest Zvezda Plot - An oddball, just leave it at that. Buso Renkin - Pretty vanilla old school shounen with a romance sub plot. Definitely worth a look. That's pretty much it. Wait, did I just make the longest and most detailed list yet? I might watch too much anime. Waits for the TL;DR. EDIT: After further thought, I decided to add in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood even though it doesn't quite fit the criteria, just because it's one of the gateway anime that you can talk to pretty much anyone about and they will be able to hold at least a small conversation.

Keep them. Who the hell plays Visual Novels and isn't used to the honorifics nowadays anyway? ...Just because it's a translation into English, a language without honorifics, that's no good reason to remove the honorifics while translating.

I've read some other articles on it. It seems like some cases operate more like military camps and have even killed some of the kids (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=8269601) so no I don't agree with that method of treatment. I do agree with the idea of getting them into a rehab like facility and depriving them of access since that's typically the only way to attempt to deal with addiction. This type of thing has to be examined with an emic perspective though. China has a history of extremest policies (just look at the one-child policy) so I'm not shocker per-say to see this.

I can give you my opinion on most anime you can think of, even those I didn't watch because I have no intellectual honesty. =o

This list won't feature the VNs in order of "how good they are". Rating them would be way too much of a clusterfuck to me. The VNs are not in their respective order. Meaning number 1 is not the best, and so on. 1_CHAOS; HEAD 2_Cross Channel 3_G-Senjou no Maou 4_Fate/Stay Night 5_Forest This Visual Novel is the easiest visual novel translated to get a bad ending without using a walkthrough- which just adds to the fun of it. It makes a massive amount of references to common literature, which makes it even better. 6_Katahane It may seem like an ordinary moege- the atmosphere is light, the story is full of cuteness, which you can note by the character design and soundtrack. It gets really good in the middle, and you'll be dying to know what happens in the end. A game with multiple perspectives, it's definitely one of the most enjoyable Visual Novels I've ever read. 7 Majikoi 8_Little Busters! 9_Tsukihime "You shouldn't tell lies that you can't even fool yourself with" 10_Swan Song A post apocalyptic Visual Novel. 11_Symphonic Rain It may seem like your ordinary moege. Trust me, it's not. 12_Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo (and sequel) 13_Sekien no Inganock Steampunk. An atmosphere full of mysteries and references that will make your head blow up. 14_Steins; Gate A visual novel that deals extensively with time travel and it's consequences. 15_Utawarerumono 16_Fault: Milestone (1 & 2) 17_Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni 18_Kara no Shoujo 19_Umineko no Naku Koro ni 20_Planetarian 21_Ever 17 Another top 10. 22_Remember11 It lacks in the ending, but otherwise the story of this VN has enough to easily become one of my all-time favorites. 23_Zanmataisei Demonbane 24_Rewrite "Could it possibly be rewritten, this fate of hers?" Another one that enters the top 10. 25_Narcissu 26_Grisaia no Kajitsu 27_Saya no Uta Only if you enjoy dark and messed up settings. 28_Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni 29_Eien no Aselia 30_Rose Guns Days (1 & 2) There are small sections of gameplay on this one, but you can skip them by pressing the space bar, so this still qualifies. 31_Sengoku Rance I feel obliged to comment on this VN before suggesting it to anyone. It's an Alicesoft title, which speaks a lot for itself... If you don't know how it's going to be like, well.. Kind of tough to describe. Lots of sex, including comedy rape. Alicesoft tends to make the whole story a comedy until right near the end, where things actually do get serious. It's worth checking out, if you don't mind Rance's personality. 32_Phenomeno Want a short VN that can captivate you for their whole duration? Here is it. Visual novel adapted from the youth horror novel written by Hajime Ninomae and illustrated by yoshitoshi ABe. 33_Ef- A Fairy Tale of the Two 34_Dysfunctional Systems Another one great for those who want short Visual Novels. 35_Daibanchou Another Alicesoft title. While Rouga is not near Rance's level when it comes to pissing off people, alicesoft's style is something which often doesn't please people. 36_Yume Miru Kusuri The endings pack quite a punch. 37_Kikokugai- The Cyber Slayer 38_Eden 39_Hoshizora no Memoria 40_Katawa Shoujo Yep, it's somewhat overrated. Still, the fact that it is substantially easier for those who are starting to play visual novels to read should not be discarded, and overall, the story was good. 41_World End Economica 42_YU-NO 43_Shikkoku no Sharnoth Yep, there is a minigame on this one. If you download a save data you can skip the minigame, though. So it still qualifies. Another VN that enters my top 10. 44_Muv Luv Alternative The first Muv Luv didn't have enough to enter this list. You should still read it, though~ MLA is definitely awesome. 45_Dangan Ronpa 46_Comyu - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku 47_Hanachirasu 48_Ayakashibito 49_I/O 50_Deardrops

Hey guys i spoke to EusthEnoptEron (rather commented on his page on MAL) and he gave mes an insight to say the Hakomari is 95% completed and the rumour has it is the fact that Mikage-sensei has sent off the manuscripts to his editor, Great news made my weekend (Among other things) http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1362315 The forum for the thread of 95% completed and a couple of tweets from the man himself! https://twitter.com/mikage_eiji/status/577794278375575552 https://twitter.com/mikage_eiji/status/576954245913583616 Let me know what you think for this exciting rumour (if you are a Hakomari fan)

A Message from the Creator: Ladies and gentlemen of Fuwanovel, After careful consideration and multiple attempts to revive the Battle of the Guilds game hosted on the forums of the website, I have decided to close the game for good and do what I think is necessary for the community to enjoy something that I feel was an absolute joy to create. Creating the BOGs game was a very enjoyable experience, and as many of my fellow TeamSpeak users will state, there would days I would stay up for countless hours creating cards and managing the setup of such a grand forum activity. The hype, the participation, it was all an incredible experience. Truth be told, it was far more than I could handle and because of this experience I have learned how to best handle games like this for the future. People lost interest, and losing players meant it was more of a challenge for updating boards. Not only that, but having to wait for players to finish their turns meant long waits for a lot of players; running 6 games at once is not an easy task. This game was when I felt I was at a high point for activity ideas on Fuwanovel, and thanks to it, I have managed to come up with over 10 different game ideas for this year which I will start dishing out in the next month or so. While giveaways are important to me, so is actively allowing new and old members of Fuwanovel to have a place where they can socialize and feel the same kind of experience I had when coming here. That being said, this is not the end of activities, nor do I feel this is the end of the BOGs. Linked below is the game in its entirety. After reorganizing most of the material I used in creating the game, I have uploaded all of the necessary files onto my Google Drive available for free download by any member of the community who so wishes to use this game for whatever purpose he or she wants to in the future. Simply click the following link below to start the download. The file is zipped for your convenience. Thanks again, and see you around. OriginalRen Download Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7ivNNDDfsj5fkNIbFZUYWdiT293VHZkejJOaGNlQUhFb1pKRnhWWUhnbDVySElIUXB4Zm8&authuser=0 What is in the file? Board Layouts - For 2 player, 3 player, and 4 player games respectively Card Templates - These templates include a layout for creating your very own guild cards with their own unique name and crest, in addition to starting agent, location, and relic card templates that allow you to create the starting deck of 9 cards for each guild. Finally, there are 3 templates for creating freelance agents, non-starting location cards, and non-starting relic cards which are used in the game Please Note: The templates are .psd files, meaning you can only edit them with Photoshop. OriginalRen's Cards - Don't feel like making your very own cards? Simply use the deck I have already prepared which I will preview below. Keep in mind that if you want to make your own deck of cards, you need to use the values listed on the cards I created for balance purposes when playing the game Anzu has a value of 3, 2, 2, 7 respectively, with a main power value in friendship. You can replace this card with your own picture and name, but remember that the 1 of the cards in the deck of 49 freelance agents must match that of Anzu's values. This is so the game remains balanced. Overall, the entire game deck consists of the following card counts: 49 freelance agent cards 36 location cards 31 relic cards 9 starting cards for each guild (7 agents, 1 location, and 1 relic) Finally, the rules for the game can be found in the following links: Game Rules Card Anatomy Agent Cards Location Cards Relic Cards The Twins Card My Freelance Agents: My Locations: My Relics: Finally, to all of you who participated in the BOGs game after the signups finished, you will all be receiving a special award icon based on what guild you joined. I will be dishing these out in the next few hours. Thanks again all.

I just noticed, but we seem to get missions whenever somebody from our fleet dies. Does that mean that our numbers need to actually diminish!?

That makes two of us. I ain't Eclipsed, but rather 'De Splice ~ And Tiagofvarela is Ale-rav Fogiat

This is my first time. Please be kind.

I only just realised that I am, at the very least, also a semi-spammer.

Moar boats cute girls to the people. The last episode of KanColle revelaed a sequel. No release date confirmed.

Yes. By all mean. No honorific no life

Will you translate the BGM "pop-up"? Sorry if you already answered this in the first post of the project, but I dont know what "UI" means... ^^' If I'm not mistaken, you choose : - "Krit" as Chris nickname, when Wairu/Yandere choose "Kri" : why? "Krit" would sound as "Krito" in japanese not "Kuri", no? - "Goblin Banquet" when they choose "Mouryou Gathering" : was that a mistranslation of them? Thanks in advance ^^ Yes, we have already begun work on the day changes. We will do the popups if we are able. "UI" stands for "user interface", and includes the popups when you hover over menu items, the event, music, and skit lists, and other bits that may have been left undone by Wairu. "Krit" was chosen to preserve the pun, though I suppose most wouldn't get it(I didn't until dowolf explained). The pun is her nickname being similar to "clit", for "clitoris". When written in English, "Krit" is closer than "Kri". "Goblin's Banquet" is a better translation(in that it is an actual translation, where Mouryou's Gathering really isn't), and had we had more time, I'd like to have changed it through all of Yandere's uses for consistency's sake. And it fits what the gathering actually is, rather than leaving readers with a japanese word they don't know.

Are you drunk? Or terribly sleepy? Or am I missing something here...?

Just dropping some <3 around here.

Will you translate the BGM "pop-up"? Sorry if you already answered this in the first post of the project, but I dont know what "UI" means... ^^' Wow, just look at this kind of helpful question. You don't see that often, great job! "UI" basically refers to what you pointed out. Menus and popups are all part of the UI.

Thanks, I guess I'll try it and if it really turns out to be too hard for now I'll just stall it! This is also what I did with totono when I first started it, and now I can read it without any problems Learning is fun when it's working out haha That last ending in Saya no Uta and then Kanako Itou... all the feels are returning..

Confession: That video is how I discovered Mirai Nikki, and man I did NOT expect it to be that kind of anime, lol.

Hey guys. It really feels like it's been a while. Even though I know it really hasn't. The past few months have been really hectic and I've been so busy. Mainly due to academic reasons. But during my time away from being involved with the community I started to feel an empty space within me. It just did not feel right on the lurking side to be honest as well I still feel the joy I get from being a part of this community exist so this is not me saying goodbye or anything. Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm still here Hope everything has been well with Everyone

https://www.fakku.net/manga/because-its-you-english I think I got diabetes. Oh well.

I played the VN because I watched the anime... and because I'm not fond of Nagisa. I'd say it's worth the play if you are going to play it for the non-Nagisa centric parts. I mean, there's much more to the VN than after story.

Nya

Those plot twists are actually the least interesting part of Clannad for me. There's much more interesting stuff to enjoy in it. Also, just like you i had been spoiled about it beforehand (when something is so popular there's only so much you can do to avoid spoilers) and i still enjoyed both the anime and the VN

You should go read it . The routes were horribly rushed and obviously could be a lot more plotwise and there may be some other flaws, but imo it accomplished do what it tried to do. Mostly through the common route, but also through the branches that follow. The author is obviously a smart guy and there are no shortage of things to think about. It's to the point where the VN is not for people who don't like thinking on the side about ideas, rather than the plot/characters or even themes. It's not that the VN is particularly obtuse or dry either, it's that it passes directly through the town of Thought.

Let me put it this way... I was spoiled for all the things you were spoiled for. More actually. Nevertheless, I watched it through till the end... Totally worth. In my opinion it is completely worth your time no matter how much you are spoiled. Also.... That's because it is.

Do you mean an online gaming addiction, or an internet addiction as a whole? Because people use the internet far more than they think they do, haha. The internet's pretty huge, so I don't really know if it's possible to say you're addicted to the internet. As for me, my advice would be to find new hobbies that you think you'll enjoy. Instead doing that one thing all day every day, you've suddenly got three, and you can devote your time equally (and maybe break out of your old habits in the process). This stuff's purely theoretical, by the way. I don't have any experiences with addiction, I don't think. Though if I had to give one example, I'd say I'm way into cookery, haha. I love to cook, learn about ingredients and combinations, getting people to criticize my food, yada yada. But it's not like I'm not addicted or anything, you know!

I dunno if I would play the anime... Still, CLANNAD is about way more than the dream shenanigans. Spoiled or not, I feel the After Story is something not to be missed, truly. Lots of stuff happen before you even get to that part. Just know that knowing these things may make a couple of scenes less emotional, but not much other than that. And the After Story, at least in the anime, is only about Nagisa (more or less, but if you've already watched the anime then your fine).

Frank thought me how to rub my nipples while saying NYESSssss!! NYesss~~~~~! Also he taught me that OP is weeb, though I am pretty sure nobody gives a shit. Because op is just trying to make himself look like a weeb, when he's actually a massive weeboo.

Tay, let your drill be the drill that pierces the heavens! http://myanimelist.net/anime/2001/Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann Believe in the Kenshin_sama that believes in you!

I'm more inclined to believe that WoW is the root of all evil in this situation. It's really hard to say whether boot camp is taking things too far or not, but I do not feel it should be a preferred method. Most of the kids taken there were probably not mentally ready for that kind of treatment, and it could lead to some kind of trauma if things go seriously wrong for them. While the internet may the outlet in which this situation occurs, I would say that the source of the problem definitely lies with the parents. From what it seems in this situation, there are just too many parents that do not take their roles seriously. They'd make haphazard attempts to raise their child, lack the patience needed to communicate efficiently and guide their children in the right direction, and could try to force better living habits unto them without properly thinking of more efficient ways to teach them. Most importantly, the parents aren't there for their kids as often as they should be. If what I understand is correct, loneliness would be a major attributing factor for younger people to seek sanction from the internet. It may not have been as big of a deal back when the internet was not quite as easy to get access to, and that might be why many parents don't realize how important it is to take preventative measures again this, but it'll be too late by the time they learn. If the internet weren't here, one could stave off boredom or loneliness by getting with friends and going out to places, but that isn't nearly as addicting and won't always be comfortable. With personal computers and home internet or internet cafes, there's an infinite number of things you can do in one location and it wouldn't be nearly as much of a hassle as making friends and going out. Once a those people begin to get too comfortable with being on computers, they can start to develop an addiction to it, and the potential to take this to an extreme will be there. But parents won't realize this until after the damage becomes serious, and then they have to resort to boot camp due to their inadequacy to remedy this on their own. I feel that taking measures to make adults more aware of the potential hazards would be much more preferable to boot camp. Perhaps they can start issuing out booklets on how to prevent children from developing unhealthy life habits. Advertising this issue could also help to alleviate this problem. Also, I can't help but wonder if most of those kids even deserved to be there. It seemed to me that some of them would have been okay if they just had a stern talking to. Perhaps the media encourages parents to send their kids to boot camp on an impulse. Kinda like saying, "If your child suffers from internet addiction, don't hesitate to send him off to boot camp.", or something like that. I really hope that's not the case.

I have one high school classmate who died from straight-up playing on the internet for hours and hours.... I mean I used to do it too when I was young. I was a MAJOR internet addict (mmos like Ragnarok online). But I never deprived myself of food or sleep. I don't know how people can get addicted to the point that they'd neglect basic bodily needs..

Great news !

For those wondering the overall route list, this is it:

Yes, yes, after much deliberation, the committee of me has decided that 3-7 doses of Boku no Pico (both morning and night, of course) will account for this chronic deficiency in anime. Be sure to accompany each intake with a glass of water, and if you have an erection lasting more than four hours, remember that it is perfectly normal.

Waiting on Play-Asia to start shipping Estival Versus, have had the PS4 LE ordered since last September.

Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! Do you have a favourite VN? Have a moe:

Tokeijikake no Ley Line -Asagiri ni Chiru Hana- A few things, before I begin. Since this is the third in a series of three VNs that only really make a whole when stuck together, this is not a candidate for VN of the Month. This VN is literally incapable of standing on its own due to the fact that it starts right from after the events of the second game. Most importantly to keep in mind when playing this series is that this isn't a chuunige... it is ultimately a fantasy-mystery, and it should be taken as such. First, I will say that the conclusion to this series isn't disappointing in any way. It retains a lot of what made the previous two games interesting, while lacking some of that which made them frustrating (the incompleteness). Unlike the previous two VNs, no time is spent on the slice-of-life aspects, and they are attacking the meat of the background and the main story from the very beginning. As such, taken apart from the other two, it is a somewhat different story. To those who have played the first two VNs, it should be obvious by now that Ushio is the only real heroine in these games, as the other heroine paths basically exist for h-scenes and don't make sense within the context of the mains story. This is reflected even more obviously in this game, since there are literally no branches off of the main story this time. This follows the cast of characters as they resolve the mystery of the school and bring an end to the dark plot that has been going on the background from the beginning. For those wondering whether they would like these games, the answer is a set of questions: Do you like fantasy and mysteries? The second is, do you like Ushio? To put it bluntly, it would be hard to truly love the Tokeijikake series if you couldn't bring yourself to like Ushio. She is the series' resident tsundere, and she is one in the classic sense... which means she is adorable when she goes dere, but she is all thorny most of the time, lol. Thankfully, the protagonist seems to think of her as a particularly amusing toy most of the time, so it is a more balanced setting than it might sound at first. Altogether, the three VNs in the series are about as long as Bradyon Veda and shorter than Dies Irae, for those who want a mark of just how long they are. My final thoughts... to be honest, I deliberately avoided 'reviewing' this VN straight-out because it couldn't be done without me replaying the previous two VNs first, and that would be just a little too frustrating now that I know all the mysteries behind everything that is going on. The series as a whole is something that is worth paying attention to, and each of the three VNs is well-written and interesting. However, I can't say that I'd put this series at the top of my list of VNs to play, even if they'd had the common sense to make it into a single long kinetic novel. There are a few extras after you've completed the game, the most important of which are Ushio's after-stories and a special 'alternate world' story for Lito, who is a side-character vital to the story as a whole.
