Confession: Since you guys care so much for no discernible reason (I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because she's a looker), here's the story, and because I have nothing better to do you'd probably bug me again here's the whole thing, not just the week we actually dated. Warning: wall of words Confession 2: Writing all that was painful, and not just because it was super embarrassing. Confession 3: I overheard a guy in my class saying she isn't pretty once... The only explanation I can think of is that he was either lying, blind, or gay. Confession 4: Despite being happy-go-lucky and a bit of an airhead (if you've seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, she's basically Clem) she could get pissed. When one of my classmates really got on her nerves she hit him with a freaking chair, and it wasn't one of those pussy chairs made of plastic, it was wood and metal. Confession 5: I think I'll stop now >.>

But I sometimes forget that people die when they are killed.

What's more important? Some exam nobody cares about or the relationship confession of a fellow Fuwan? Yeah, I guess it's the exam.

This was a really tough thing for me to witness because I really like the original Pupa manga. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it had some decent dark and psychological themes and an interesting pair of siblings as main characters. It's a horror story about some of the more grotesque things you could write about, a story about a sister who's forced to literally eat her brother in order to survive and they cope with it as well as the mad experiments going on in the background. But this anime... this anime managed to suck every ounce of life out of Pupa. This is not just a "bad" adaptation, it wasn't just your typical "oh it left out some important bits" or "the pacing was kind of bad", this adaptation, can not even be considered an adaptation of the original Pupa manga. This anime right here is an insult to all adaptations in existence. I was really excited when this was first annouced, but that excitement didn't last long as it dawned on me that the anime would have an episode length of 3 minutes. At this point is where essentially all of my red flags went off and the prospect of Pupa having a successful adaptation was basically already ruined. I tried to think of any possible way they could successfully pull it off, but I just couldn't think of any. And sure enough, as soon as the first episode of Pupa aired, I knew that I was in for one of the worst rides of my life. Anime isn't famous for having good horror shows. The amount of really good horror anime in existence can likely be counted by the amount of fingers one has, and Pupa already started off with the wrong foot by censoring the living hell out of every single meaningful shot. I'm not one to advocate that gore and violence is what makes horror, it's definitely not, but in the case of Pupa, the core of the story lies in the grotesque and brutal violence of a lot of scenes, and by censoring all of them with huge black bars, you're already taking away any "wow" factor the show might have had. And if you're wondering how ridiculous the censoring got at points, just look at this: A man holding a knife!? That's heinous! Censor this madness right now! But don't worry, I re-watched the series in blu-ray just for the sake of getting the most out of it, and even then, it still utterly fails to transmit all the grotesque scenes and all the violence the original manga had. All the entrails are sloppily drawn, nothing feels vivid or impactful, the "gore" consists mostly of ludicrous amounts of blood gushing out of people for no apparent reason. So even in the gore department, this series fails. The one thing they could have at least gotten right, they utterly fail at, and after a horrid 2 first episodes, watching the rest of Pupa was like dragging my dead body across a floor made out of sand paper. Let's quickly go over how the show adapted the story: Yume and Utsutsu go home together one day and Yume is turned into a monster and it's revealed she has been infected with the Pupa virus. This virus grants the host with regenerative abilities, but in return, they cause insatiable hunger. Yume kills her brother by stabbing him but in a sudden twist he comes back and we discover he also has been infected by the virus and can regenerate himself. Though for some reason he doesn't have the hunger thing. Our Onii-chan vows to protect Yume by letting her eat him whenever she's hungry and the anime turns these scenes into laughable moments by having random cheerful music play in the background as Yume eats away Utsutsu's body. This does nothing good for the show and just removes any and all kind of meaningful impact the scenes might have otherwise have. We have some flashbacks to the siblings' past where it's revealed Yume's mother had the virus inside her and that's supposedly how Yume got it. We see Yume as a child eating a bird and being stabbed by her own mother, only to then be revived by the virus, this in turn caused her mother to lose most of her sanity. We also learn that the siblings had a rough past with a really abusive dad, but the show really fails at portraying what is one of the most important plot points of the manga, and that is Utsutsu's dad and his tendency to be violent towards him. Not to mention his role in the story development itself. But I wouldn't expect anything less from such a crappy show. Our siblings get taken away by some random organization we never heard of (10/10 context!) and Utsutsu gets experimented on for some reason. Yume manages to break free using her monster powers and Utsutsu escapes with her, leaving behind a trail of dead bodies. After this, the anime pretty much ends with Yume once again eating away at her brother and the credits rolling. Sounded fun right? No? Hmm, I wonder what might have been missing... Oh wait, every fucking thing was missing. This show provides absolutely zero context for why most of the events are happening. One of the main villains, a scientist called Maria is introduced early on as some sort of mastermind behind things, and at one point they even mention she's going to impregnate herself using Utsutsu's sperm and Yume's egg cells in an attempt to give birth to another monster, and we even see her with a pregnant belly! But what happens after that? NOTHING. Absolutely fucking nothing. We never see or hear from this lady again, we're just supposed to accept she disappears I guess. But if you're going to make her disappear, why introduce her in the first place?? But that's not all, Utsutsu's father, who even appears on the very first manga chapter, is rarely shown in the anime, and he has a very present role as he's the motivation behind a lot of Utsutsu's reasoning and he's also the one who gave him all his scars, but the anime doesn't even bother to explain anything related to it. In the episode where we learn about Yume's backstory, her mother seems to be an important character and we even see her in the present day talking to their father. And then they never appear again! Ever! Why are you showing your viewers things that won't matter later on? Lastly, when Utsutsu and Yume get kidnapped, not only do they make everything look ridiculously stupid by having Yume and Utsutsu, two people who have regenerative abilities, lose in a fight against one single guy with a pocket knife. I mean, who looked at this show and thought "let's make a series about two siblings with a weird virus in them and then never utilize the virus in any of the scenes where it could have been useful". We also never know who the organization that kidnapped them is or why they're doing what they're doing, we're just shown, and very briefly so, some of the torture they're performing on Utsutsu, but most of the actual gorey scenes are never actually shown. It's like they decided to make a horror and then strip it of any scenes that might make a horror show good in the first place. Couplethis with terrible and incosistent writing and you got yourself a big pile of crap. Or in Pupa's case, a small pile of crap, because this anime only lasts for a whole 30 minutes if you combine all the episodes, so at least it's not like your eyes will be subject to the atrocities this show has for long. And after all the completely random nonsensical events I just described above, this anime has the audacity to have one extra episode at the end with absolutely no connection to the previous episodes whatsoever. This last episode is just a cheerful scene with Yume and Utsutsu going shopping for a new teddy bear for Yume. What's the point of it? Give me consolation after all the shit I've had to deal with when watching the show? Because if that was the intention, I'm sorry to say it only prolongued the suffering. It's like the final nail in the coffin before this series is buried for eternity to never be seen again. And let's not forget the god awful product placement, because don't think I didn't see that, then again it was hard to miss given how out of place it looks compared to the rest of the shot: Yeah, letting a child read Pupa, a manga full of gore and violence. 10/10 product placement To wrap this up and so people stop asking me to watch this show, Pupa is a complete and utter mess with no sense of direction, no writing consistency, bad dialogue, bad art direction, bad gore, bad story, bad everything. This show does not have a sole redeeming factor, not even for the lovers of pure gore, I do not think it is physically possible for someone to watch Pupa and think "huh, that was cool". You would have to stretch it, and I mean really stretch it, just to call Pupa "average". The other shows I've ranted about before this don't even come close to the level of garbage that is Pupa. Do not watch this. I repeat, do not watch this, you will lose brain cells at a 10 times faster ratio in the 30 minutes you'll spend watching this show. Please, I'm caring for your health here, do not dare to touch this show with a 10 ft pole. If you're curious about Pupa in the slightest, at least do yourself a huge favor and read the manga, because at least that's tolerable and knows what it's doing, but for the love of everything, do not lay eyes upon this monstrosity of an "anime". Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to spray lemon juice in my eyes and pretend Pupa, just like the Tsukihime anime, never existed.

Aaeru's Fuwanovel was intricately entwined with anti-copyright advocacy. It shaped the site, its community, and how Fuwanovel was viewed by the visual novel community at large. The linked thread was one of many skirmishes between Aaeru and her supporters against what they saw as external aggression--the demand for respect of intellectual property. I think this thread was notable in that it's the first time (I'm aware of) that such arguments succeeded in achieving a level of respect and recognition within Aaeru's own community, or that a person publicly argued toe-to-toe with Aaeru on her own level without simply dismissing or demonizing her. I noticed that Aaeru's stance against copyright subtly softened over the course of our arguments, showing that Aaeru wasn't as rigid and unthinking as many of her opponents made her out to be--it was just that no one bothered to actually challenge her views in an effective manner that she could relate to.

He's still in high school iirc, but you probably couldn't tell because of his transcendental, dope-ass (old man) taste in anime. Anyways, have a great one dude.

apart from having misstranslations, i consider a translation beeing bad, when it sounds hollow whilst reading - means no strong words beeing used, no emotions beeing triggered, etc. its the same like in movies when the voice actor absolutely doesnt fit the character., it ruins the whole experience. & i know that not every word in japanese has its english equivalent, so you have to think your own way around, same goes of course when it has one, but its impact is way less in english, so you have to find something else for not killing the atmosphere. i have nothing against making (very) minor changes, compared to the actual meaning, when its neccessary (nothing plotrelevant though) to improve the atmosphere or the reading experience in general

Welcome to Episode 1 in FuwaHistory, where new user sanahtlig brazenly ventures into the Buccaneer's Den to recommend that Goddess Aaeru cease her fan translation of Da capo 3, culminating in a momentous clash over copyright and intellectual property. Little did Aaeru know that a mere 1.5 months later sanahtlig's warnings would come to fruition and her project would be C&D'd, ending her ambitions and beginning a downward spiral that would eventually lead to the great calamity known as the Fuwapocalypse.

No, it doesn't work that way. I tried doing just TLC at the beginning of common route (and that was the least screwed up part of the entire VN). The outcome: mixed up writing styles, minor errors that were overlooked, grammar that wasn't entirely fixed - all that added up to a crappy end result, despite my efforts to fix bigger issues with the TL. I went back to them later on and re-translated them from scratch just like everything else in the end. TLC is applicable only when the translators know what they are doing, only lack some experience and occasionally mistranslate an idiom or something. TLC-ers are only supposed to check the TL and fix just a few mistakes. When they have to fix everything, it doesn't qualify as "TLC" anymore. So no, the only thing you can do with bad translations, is throwing them out of the window and re-doing everything from scratch. It's not a chance to get a translation, but a bad translation. A crude, borderline-unreadable fanfic. And, like I stated earlier, it can't be fixed - it needs a re-translation, and that just won't happen. Nobody will touch it, because it would require just as much effort as working on something that wasn't translated at all. When a VN doesn't have a TL, there is always a chance that a competent group could pick it up. When a VN has a bad TL, it has no realistic chances of getting a proper TL. That's all well and good for people who can read it in Japanese anyway, but everyone else can most definitely forget about a real translation. And people who won't swallow mistranslated BS, obviously won't even touch MTs (unlike a part of audience that accepts bad translations). But, are they actually helping out? Because they do plenty of harm - not only they ruin the VN, but also reduce the chances of it ever getting a proper TL to zero. Imagine such situation: Somebody is sick. Very Nice Person with absolutely no medical knowledge gives him some random drugs. Those actually worsen patient's condition and end up killing him. Was the Very Nice Person helpful? He really tried, but his incompetence caused far more harm than good... What would you do? Tell that Very Nice Person that he is doing great job and watch the patient die? Encourage him to continue and start digging a grave in the mean time? Or, as you suggested - desperately try to treat the harmful side-effects of the drugs he is administering, so that the patient won't die, but "merely" end up as a paralyzed vegetable? No. The first and most obvious response that you mentioned, is the only response that actually makes sense. First - stop him from causing damage. This won't guarantee that the patient survives, but hey, at least he will have a chance. Second - tell that Very Nice Person, that if he really wants to help, he should study medicine. Or do something that doesn't require specialist skills. Translations work just like that. If somebody doesn't have the skills necessary to translate, their attempts will cause nothing but harm. Stopping them is the only option. If they really want to help, they should either put some more effort into studying, or try to do something else - editing, proofreading, hacking, whatever. Misplaced effort can cause harm, and half-assed translations kill VNs. I hate localizations in general and Americanizations in particular. But in the end, the whole point of translating, is making things understandable for the Western reader. When said reader has to look a lot of things up, it will distract him form the story. I like the translations to be as faithful as possible and all, but there is a certain limit. Leaving references to an anime that's completely unknown on the West wouldn't make much sense, and some things are just impossible to translate to begin with. Also, not everything can be simply looked up on non-Japanese sites (like some weird 2ch slang for example). Personally, I like to mention everything that ended up rewritten in TL-notes. That way, various obscure cultural references won't be getting in the way while reading, but people who care can still fine them.

This is your little sister. This girl who you found has amnesia. She does not know things. btw did you know she doesn't remember things Also you remember your sister right One episode of anime,.

I feel like Ferdinand the Hair Stylist is trying to imply something here, impart an important message, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it could be...

the problem with translating into english is, that its considered a global language. so you´ve to make the desicion from the get go to either make it more appealing to a wider audience, which means lesser use of slang, uniqueness & stuff - means english light, or doing it stricly for those who´re native english speakers - means going full out, with a heavy use of prose, slang & whatoever comes to mind. for those who want the best translation possible, only the 2nd way works, but from an economical point of view the 1rst one is the better, cause non native english speakers wont feel arkward whilst reading & therefore rather buy the full version. In the end its up to the company/fanlators to decide, if they want the best possible product done, or the one which ensures greater mainstream compatibilty on cost of quality.

Dark psychological shows can wait, idols are more important than that pseudo BS.

Shinsekai Yori, unless you have shit taste

For my own 2 cp, Is when the tramslation makes things up, or leaves out obvious lines of dialouge. That really grinds my gears. Often, it's not that it's difficult to translate - but rather, uses more formal and expressive english - which many people seem to run screaming from. So instead it gets cut in half and "dumbed down"(not actually, but for all intents and purposes). Of coruse, sometimes it's the oppasite and a character is using cutesy-stupid talk, but the TL decided it was just that, stupid - and TL's it into "proper english". Thus losing a whole aspect of a characters tone~ The other thing, is when they try to transform a very japanese-specific reference into something "american" (or european, whatever, you know what I mean). A TL should stick to the culture the VN is centered around, not transform it becuase some people won't "get it". Clannad comes to mind as an example - alot of people cried and wailed at something that was translated perfectly, but didn't make much sense to most readers, due to lack of cultural immersion. I took that reference and googled it, becuase I was one of the ones that had no idea what it meant, and waddya know - learning is power! Just my personal experiences and thoughts, anyway~

Finally got myself to do competitive. Just got my rank now

But it was all okay because we still had torr- oh wait

First of all, I am submitting to Mad's handsomeness. Confession 1: I hadn't seen the nsfw warning on flutterz's pics and I went through first 2 , my fasting ;-; Confession 2:I spent a very fun 12 hours with my sis and cousin and ofc pulled an all nighter and played cards and Bingo and stuff like that. It was really fun. It's really great that I am getting to know my cousin more and actually she used to be an anime/manga maniac two years ago and these were what saved her from depression but she grew out of that stage long ago according to her (scrublord). She hasn't dated anyone before but many guys confessed to her at least that's what she said. Also she said that I am actually her fav kind of guy in both my mentality and my physique but I only need to lose a little bit weight in the abdomen. I dunno if I should be happy. I told her about my crush and she was like don't think again about it , ignore and delete her from life ;-; She sang some songs too, her voice is heavenly , best voice I have heard in my life in front of me Confession 3: even thou I am trying to convince myself I hate ma crush, I still have lingering feelings for her

If the studio is meant to be Gonzo, can we please watch the show VanDread, I want to be forced to laugh at how silly it is again. I'm fairly certain this is the show that screamed something along the lines of "The shield cant withstand the pressure! Its at 1.89 million hexapascals!" Nosebleed pretty much mimics my stance on anime vs manga, which can be pretty much summed up as "Anime shows, manga tells." and therefore manga is far better at expressing the thoughts of characters in general than anime which is better at showcasing how the character acts. If you want to feel and relate to a series, manga is by far the superior choice, where if you want to see how they act and their emotions (assuming you have a good studio on this one) anime is the superior format. Manga is really just a midpoint between books and animation in terms of details and thoughts, and actions, respectively.

For me it's all about the level of detail. A lot of action anime are generally poorly choreographed and manga leaves a lot of it to your imagination and focuses on the highlights so you get only the cool shots whereas anime sometimes needlessly drags things out. I love reading manga much more than i like watching anime, it's just such a more rich medium versus the over saturated anime market. Of course anime has its own merits, but generally speaking I rarely capture the same feelings from an anime as i do from the manga counterpart, just because the latter allows me to leave a lot of things up to imagination whereas anime is the way it is and I either end up liking how they did it or I don't, there's no room for me to picture something else, it's all on screen, all the voices and all the movement. But everything can be exciting in both mediums if you know how to execute it.

I've seen you around the SSL group for quite a while before the accident happened, and you seem to be an amazing guy in general. All I can do is wish you a quick recovery, Krill.

We suspect some sort of bug. NAYLEEN, WE SUMMON THEE. Hopefully this won't settle as shrugging it off with a "lol IPB".

Yeah, actually the blog is getting some really weird spikes lately. I wonder why?

currently reading ChuSinGura 46+1. if you like Muv Luv series, then you also will like this VN

Reading Forest. Its uhh... definitely different. Strangely enjoyable.

User Control Panel Avatars Avatars are like your forum identity. Choose whoever and whatever you want! Curious about the types of avatar users that exist? Visit my blog entry, Avatar: The Last FuwaBender! To change your avatar, visit "My Profile" and then mouse over your current avatar and click "Change", OR visit "My Settings" -> Profile Settings tab -> Change my Photo This will open the Photo Editor where you can choose to upload your own avatar using the "Upload from file" option, link one from an image hosting site such as IMGUR using the "Import a photo from a URL" option, and finally, crop your avatar using the "Adjust Crop" option. TIP: You have a maximum size of 150 KB for your avatars. Typically this means you will have to use JPEG filetype for large images or really small images for other filetypes such as PNG. You can also use GIFs if they are < 150 KB, though that requires some massive shrinking and quality nerfing. TIP: Avatars are optimized for the portrait shape, so if you want a big smokin' hawt avatar to rampage the forums with, choose an avatar with a height size that is greater than its width (ie. taller than it is wider) Tall (left) vs. Wide (right). Das' some Goliath vs. David right there: Signatures A signature is a user-defined message which is attached to all of said user's posts. Usually includes an image with their username on it. In the case of Fuwanovel, expect to see hot 2D females (and males. and anything else people like...) To change your signature, visit "My Profile" -> Signature tab This will open the Edit Signature where you can input your desired contents: Up to 1 image, 800x150 pixels, any number of URLs, and up to 3 lines (note: an image takes up 1 line). TIP: Careful! If you attempt to save your signature when it violates a rule (ie. contains more than 3 lines, size is bigger than 800x150, etc.) you will get an error and will lose all of what you typed up and will have to type it up again. Copy paste your content before attempting to save! TIP: You can artificially have more than 3 lines by using Spoiler tags(see my signature: 1) Image, 2) Currently reading, 3) Signature by Kurukosari, and then voila 4) Spoiler tag (Love Live Event SR List) Attempting to save a Signature that violates a rule... ...Results in... ...And so when you go back and refresh the previous page you'll be greeted to a nice ol' empty text box (or whatever your signature was pre-attempting-to-change-it-to-your-desired-new-one). So be careful! Adding a VNDB, MAL, and Steam VNDB is the #1 local Visual Novel database. Make an account there if you haven't already so you can log all of the VNs you read.

But everybodys' their own person, and sometimes you just can't mix well with certain individuals, or maybe they have a certain obnoxious signature. That's where the block feature comes in where you'll be able to ignore (it will be hidden) a users' posts, their signature, and even their PMs towards you! To block a user, visit "My Settings" -> Ignore Preferences to bring up Users I'm Ignoring. Type in the desired username in the "Add new user to my list" and tick what you want to ignore (Post, Signatures, Messages) and then hit Save Changes. Afterwards you can toggle a users' Hide / Allow by clicking on the bubbles or Remove them from your ignore list if they have achieved redemption. TIP: By ticking the "Ignore all signatures when reading topics and personal messages" you can get rid of Signatures once and for all! Yay! User is blocked!! One day you'll become old and grumpy enough that you'll block everybody. That'll be fun~ Managing notifications Notifications are love, notifications are life. Notifications help keep you informed of everything happening in your daily Fuwa life that may interest or pertain to you, so it's a good idea to be able to filter out which notifications you want and which ones you don't want. Visit "My Settings" -> Notification Preferences tab to bring up a list of the various notifications you may receive from Fuwa. The left column of ticks applies to in-Fuwa notifcation system, whereas the right column of ticks apply to your personal email. Should be self explanatory from there. TIP: My favorite notification option is probably the "Show inline pop-up when I have new personal messages (latest will be shown)" option under Private Messages; check that and you'll get a popup whenver someone PMs you:

^Typical "doesn't matter, had sex" argument. Why can't you guys see that reliance on Kickstarter is a bad thing? Oh right, cuz it ain't. /thread

That isn't blackmail.

Question 2 is missing a "conspiring" option.

Everyone who buys into those tier levels know exactly what kind of deal they're getting, and are basically knowingly donating to cause.

On second thought, I don't really care that much about this issue. Sekai Project isn't even releasing games I want... so why I should I even care how they run their business? Honestly what I don't like about Sekai Project is their "non-adult first" policy rather than their penchant for crowdfunding (though the two are sort of linked). If they continue down the path they're on they'll simply fall off my radar as a company worth thinking about, much like NIS America.

It sounds to me like they're using it for exactly what KickStarer was designed for though...? I've seen multiple threads like these before, and they always make me giggle at how misinformed people are. Backers are not getting nothing out of putting money into a campaign - in fact, they are getting more for their money for backing the KickStarter than if they were to just buy the game post-release. That is a very shallow thing to say, as I can't imagine you've played any of those titles. Throughout this entire thread, you have been making assumptions out of thin air, as well as forcing your own opinions onto others by claiming to know how the market is supposed to work. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be aggravated that SP is not using an orthodox approach like MG and JAST. Well, I'll tell you this - the market is a fickle thing, and is rapidly changing. Well I am deeply sorry that two major titles spells 'over-reliance' for you

As you may have noticed, the default theme of the forums have been changed from the old Gravity Green to the new FuwaFabulous. If you want to revert to the old one, go to the bottom left of the page, select "Change Theme" and pick Gravity Green. Notice that there are several other themes you can try. The FuwaFabulous theme can be customized. On the top right of the page, you can change the color and a few other details by clicking on "Edit style". Please note that the default theme and the availability of some of the other themes (such as Clarity) are subject to changes in the upcoming weeks. Or whenever Tay feels like it. Any complaints regarding this change is to be sent at [email protected].

I wish you luck with the recovery; I was hospitalized a while ago as well.

I'm sorry to hear about that, hope and pray you get better ASAP, Krill.

I really like Stranger from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, it's so tranquil and mysterious.

Rewrite Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri where treeplanting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia. The basis of the story is set in a high school setting. The first half of Rewrite primarily consists of the characters interacting in many everyday, enjoyable scenes. The latter half, however, is more serious, emotional, and carries a sense of mystery to the plot. As indicated by the title, rewriting is the theme of the game's scenario. The tagline for the game is, "Could it possibly be rewritten, that fate of hers?". Suggested Walkthrough Order!! Ending Guide As far as I can tell, absolutely nothing in the Mappie segments influences which of the five heroine routes you end up on (if any), not even the parts where one of the heroines accompanies you. So they're ignored in this section. I don't try to list every single choice you should make for each route, because a lot of them probably don't matter. Instead I try to list only the important choices, the ones I think are enough to guarantee you get the route no matter what else you do. Warning! Bad Ends are included. ***Game Routes*** Kotori Chihaya Lucia Shizuru Akane ***Bonus Game Routes*** Moon Terra Oppai Ending Friends and Quests This is meant to be a step-by-step guide to completing all quests and finding all friends within a reasonable number of playthroughs, so that you don't have to come up with a plan of you own based on the rather large amount of information in the lists below.
