Here's another one of me...YOUR WELCOME, YOUR ALL WELCOME!!

That's actually a lie from TLwiki. The script size has been calculated at being 68,206 lines overall. Nothing as ludicrous as 118,000 lines, but it's still quite an undertaking to translate.

Well depends if the story is the awesome part I guess

I still don't think they'll be doing hardcopy announcements again, especially after the reaction they got in 2016.

You're adorable!! :3 As for me...(i hate having pictures taken of me, so this is one of the few that I don't absolutely despise) As I'm Korean (mostly), of course I have to take the required wedding photos (my mom paid, there's no way I'd pay money for this kind of stuff) with my SO and aside from his "HERE'SSSS JOOOOHNNY" look, it's kind of lame being the ugly one in the relationship, LOL.

I'll embrace you.

Here is something that I just decided to randomly work on. It might end up being a Visual Novel who knows. Oh here is my working synopsis. After years of living a unremarkable high school life, eighteen year old Alice has finally started on her College journey. It's a fresh start in a new city. A chance encounter with a bully from her youth has awakened something within her. Now, determined to make the most of her college days and to crush her newfound rival, Alice has decided to form a rock band that can win the battle of the bands competition. All she has to do now is actually get a band together that can win, but that shouldn't be that hard, right? Anyway let me know what you think. Chapter One, a Fresh Start and a Old Enemy "Goodbye, Mom! Goodbye, Dad! Oh and how could I forget, goodbye Beth! I love you all!" I shout that to my family as they give me a departing wave before getting into their car and driving away from my life forever. Well, maybe not forever but it does kind of feel that way. At least, that's how my mother and sister felt. I could scarcely pull away from their death grip on me. My father, he is made of sterner stuff but I know that he was probably feeling the same thing on the inside. I was sad too of course, but it wasn't nearly enough to combat the fierce joy I felt. I'm finally at college! I'm finally on my own! I want to scream that so everyone will hear. That might not make for a good first impression, so I control my joy and simply let it radiate through me. I look around the crowded parking lot filled with newly minted college students accompanied by their grieving but proud parents. Of course, I think to myself as I walk back inside my new dorms, it won't be like I'll be completely on my own. I'll have my very own roommate after all. I wonder what she'll be like and look like? I only briefly emailed her several days ago. She seemed nice enough but who knows, she might be that roommate from hell I've heard so many horror stories about. Now that I think about it I could end up becoming the thing I fear. I shake off the chill that I just gave me and head toward my room. Like that's going to happen, I'm going to be the best roommate that she could hope to have. I grit my teeth and clench my fist in what I hope is a look of supreme determination. I open the door wide and cross the threshold before throwing myself into my bed and gazing up at the room I'll be living in for the rest of the year. It's not much to be honest though I did manage to bring a lot of my precious things with me. Especially my old electric guitar that my grandmother bought for me at the end of eighth grade. I glance over at the bare part of the room with the single destitute bed and lonely desk and chair. I'm surprised that she hasn't already moved in yet. Oh well, I guess there is always tomorrow. It's still a little disappointing. "Oh well." I murmur again to myself. I pull myself out of my bed and get to work putting up the rest of my posters and other nick knacks followed by my favorite mirror. After that is completed I spend several minutes gazing back at the young woman who is staring intently at me through the glass. She has long thick messy black hair, bright green eyes and thick eyebrows that always give her a threatening look, even if it's not always her intention. She's pretty enough I suppose if you are into that kind of thing. She'd probably only piss me off if I had to live with her. I sing softly to myself, Spent some time feelin' inferior, standing in front of my mirror. Combed my hair in a thousand ways, but I came out looking just the same. I turn myself away from the mirror and head out the door. I can't spend all day in my little hovel, I've got some exploring to do! There is commotion in the hallways, commotion in the corridors, commotion all around me. I have to duck and weave in order to save myself from being hit by the constantly apologetic families who are in the middle of moving. I give a small smile of understanding to them knowing that I was in their own shoes myself not an hour ago. The dorm I live in is nice enough even if it is fairly old. It's got a pretty nice common room with a big flat screen tv and a ping pong and pool table which is already in use. The only bad thing about it is a bit of a walk to the campus. That's fine for me as it will give me a good opportunity to get some exercise. I nod and say hello to a couple of the friendly faces that I come across as I walk out of the dorms and head toward the campus. I love this campus already, of course I had to given that I fought so hard to get into it. It wasn't easy due to the fact that I was a pretty shit student all the way through high school. What were the nicer words that the teachers used, oh it was, "Does not apply herself." Still by hook or by crook I managed to somehow get into it and now here I am. "Now here I am," I whisper to myself. "The future is right ahead of me and there is no one here alive that will be able to stop me from seizing it!" I walk languidly down the path ahead of me thanking the powers that be that this hot August day is not intolerable. I take out my music player, put it in shuffle and put the earbuds where they belong. Today seems to be my day as a song that I adore starts to play. This is really a beautiful campus, I think to myself as I saunter along taking in the open space surrounded by concrete buildings with a few small gardens clustered around. It's eerily quiet as there are only a few people that evidently had the same motivation as I. It's hard to imagine that tomorrow this relatively empty area is going to pulsating with life. The only problem with it being so large is that I'll be a sweaty mess once I get to class, especially if I must rush. I adjust my gait to the music that is coursing throughout me. Boy, I hope I look as cool as I feel right now. I smile smugly to myself as my favorite song comes to a close. The next song of course has to be a complete mood killer, a tearful dirge to a lost love. Just my luck. This song just has to play enforcing the sad truth that in all my eighteen years of age I have not yet found someone who could pierce me to my core like that. I hurriedly push those annoying thoughts out of my brain. Still plenty of time to fall in love, still plenty of time to fall in love, I chant to myself. I skip through my playlist trying to find a better song as I take a sharp corner, right into destiny. I collide with someone coming from the opposite direction. My head slams into theirs and I fall back on the hard stone floor. "OW! MY ACHING HEAD! OW! MY FUCKING ASS," I shout as I reel from the impact. I hear a grown from the other person and I snap into apology mode. "I'm so sorry I ran into you, I hope you aren't hurt." "I'll survive somehow but thanks," comes the reply. I finally bring myself to look at the person I just collided with and I notice that she is a girl about my age. She has short, spiky white hair with black streaks. She is dressed in a very punk way with a skull t shirt and a tattered skirt. She looks back at me with gray eyes that are a bit dazed. She's pretty cute but she looks awfully familiar. I pick myself up off the floor and remembering what passes for manners I offer my hand to her. She wordlessly takes it and I pull her up. "I'm sorry again for that reinforced cliches are the worst." Yeah, I guess that counts as one doesn't it? We are standing face to face now and the more I look at her the more familiar she becomes. All the while I'm staring at her something is building in me. I can almost hear the sounds of a hundred pulsating drums. I know this woman's face, but from where? Then suddenly it's like a steel door to my memories has suddenly snapped open. Meanwhile, the woman is looking quizzically at me while trying to break my death grip on her hand. I quickly release her hand and instead point an accusing finger at the woman. A name that I never thought I had the chance to say bursts from my lips. VVVERONICA FRENCH!! She looks quite taken aback at this sudden happening and slowly asks, eyes narrowed. "How do you know my name?" I match her glare with one of my own putting my heavy brows to good use. "How could I ever forget your name when it is stitched to the lining of my Soul!" She looks at me like I'm some kind of mental patient which at this case might not actually be so far from the truth if I'm being honest. "What the fuck are you talking about?" "You don't remember me at all do you? You don't remember this face? Does the name Alice Blackwood mean anything to you?" "No, I don't believe I've ever met you at anytime in my life. I think someone as strange as you would be a hard person to forget." "Hard doesn't mean impossible. You went to Sarajevo Middle School did you not?" "Yes. Yes I did but how did you...?" "How did I know? Because we went to the same exact middle school of course!" My heart is pounding fast and the drums are pulsating awaiting the grand climax that is approaching. I again point my finger accusingly and savagely shout. "I COULD NEVER FORGET YOUR NAME OR FACE BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MADE MY MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS A LIVING HELL!" "You bullied and teased me constantly how could I not remember? That sort of thing is hard to forget." I grin triumphantly I had no idea that such a day would actually happen. How much time did I spend wanting to confront this shadow of my past? I thought I had lost my chance to face her when she suddenly moved away in the middle of 8th grade. I stare hard at her. She seems quite taken aback by my outburst. She lets a few moments pass before responding. I wait patiently with my arms crossed. "Um...Alice was it? I'm, I'm really sorry that I did that to you. I knew that I was a real asshole in middle school but I had no idea I had hurt you that badly. Can you ever forgive me?" She's actually apologizing to me I think, this isn't quite what I had imagined. This isn't exactly how I thought this would go down. I had thought, hoped that she would be unapologetic to the very end. Of course in my dreams we would also immediately start a long and drawn out fight. The question is should I forgive her? It's true she did hurt me deeply but I managed to get over it eventually. Still, I have to do this for my inner child. I clench my fist, give her my most vicious glare and passionately declare. "No. No, I can never forgive you. I will never forgive you! From this day forward you are my enemy!" I feel like such a badass right now, I think as I abruptly turn my back and coldly leave her without looking back. I feel like skipping but I find someway to keep my terrible joy in check. Veronica watches Alice leave, still in something of a bewildered state. She had never thought that she would be confronted by such a ugly part of her past. She had wanted college to be a fresh start for her and now this had happened. College starts tomorrow and already there is someone here that hates me. Still, she wouldn't let that get too her, couldn't let that get to her. She would just have to apologize to her again, apologize until she finally relented. Shame that things had to happen that way she was actually kind of cute, in a really weird way. Veronica finally decides to head back to her own dorm. The sun is starting to set and she still has a lot to plan for the next day. She looks back in the direction that woman had departed from. "Alice Blackwood huh?"

So Anime Boston is coming up in the next week or so and they apparently have a new partner and 2 new VNs from old partners to announce. My speculation is the new partner is going to be some nukige company or a new moege/doujinge license and I'm hoping for good announcements for the other two. Enough about my vague speculation. What do you guys think will be announced at this years Anime Boston?

Incest is not a rare theme in visual novels – many titles, even very serious ones, have romance routes involving protagonist’s sibling in various different configurations, while nukige are full of taboo sex in every conceivable form, including that between family members. Still, this topic is very rarely done in a deep, compelling way, usually leading to a cliché conclusion like “we’re not blood-related after all, we can be together” or simply ignoring the deep social stigma connected to it and delivering an unconvincing happy ending. Even pieces of Japanese media that tried to get away from these tropes, like Oreimo, authors of which wanted to lead brother/sister romance to its logical conclusion, were cut short by the producers wary of negative reactions such story development could gather. Love Ribbon, a yuri visual novel developed by Razzart Visual and published on Steam in January 2017 is a rare exception to the trend I’ve described above – it not only offers a rather unusual sister/sister romance scenario, but also gives its full focus to the theme of an incestuous love affair and explores it in interesting and rather realistic ways. It’s also an example of OELVN that offers very explicit erotic content, but implements it as an optional feature that fits rather well with the story content, but isn’t in any way essential for experiencing it and doesn't affect the "SFW" version of the game in negative ways.

I've put a lot of love and care in this game during development, so hope you will enjoy playing it!

I would lean towards saying no. If you lose grip of the story, I would in the most cases not recommend reading a VN, as a lot of the meaning that went into the VN will be lost. I would however also not recommend learning JP if you are not really interested, as, though what tutorials of "learning" kanji in two months may say, it is quite a long road to getting to an adequate level of understanding. Now it just so happens that I am that guy that did exactly not that and thought he had learnt JP in two months with "learning" kanji. If you do get interested in the future I would however recommend using a parser to translate words (mind you not sentences). It can be quite a ride at first, but once you get the hang of it you can start skipping the use of the program for every word and sentence and start reading from your own understanding. This will help speed up the process of looking up the words. This especially if you save the words you did not understand in another program used for memorising, Anki, or something like that, to later review if you know the meaning and can read it. Mind, this should be used alongside other tools as well (like Tae Kim's grammar guide, the Anki Core 10k deck, etc.), to help your study. Anyhow, perhaps sticking to good old English patches will be the best course of action for now, but that is just an opinion.

The game has now a new chapter and his sprite has been changed for a no-copyright one !

Looks like you're almost at Operation Ouka. Have fun!

I can vouch AGAINST the accursed FF XV. Right now, you'll need to pay a shit ton of cash for the base game + all the DLCs that fix, patch and add. Gotta wait for 2020 for the release of some "definitive edition" that's not half a game. Disgaea 5 is alrighty, but the only Disgaea on PS4, I think, so what can one do. Bloodborne is an absolute must have, must play.

There's a plethora of JPRGs on the PS4. You definitely have to try out NieR: Automata first though! Also Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir (remake of the PS2 Odin Sphere). There seem to be a number of JRPG remaster/remakes recently - so in addition to Last Recode, there's Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, the Final Fantasy X/X-2 remaster (also on PS3) and Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5 ReMIX (also on PS3)... maybe some others I can't remember. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD also (remaster of a JP-only PSP game). Oh, and there's Final Fantasy XV but I can't vouch for it personally, and there's a rather mixed reception out there... If you're into SRPGs I hear Disgaea 5 is good. If you're into Nep-Nep there are some Idea Factory games. Happy JRPGing!

You're right Thyndd, I really appreciate the lengths members go on here with spoiler tags, thank you all. How're you enjoying the bit you're on? Totally agree with wei123 things are indeed tense now. I completely understand why you were all discussing censorship earlier, luckily for me I got a pretty corrupt imagination so that scene was super impactful... Scene question / spoilers.

Old versus new. : )

Aww, so adorable. That girl on shirt is so pretty! ;P Just kidding! Thanks for the pic of you. <3

I want them to fucking finish releasing Higurashi's main chapters first.

Yes. Please plague the west with more moege before releasing your only interesting titles.

And yet, they still won't localize their most interesting VN, Sakura no Mori.

Come on this is me you're talking about of course this is going to be hella yuri! Maybe, possibly, who knows? I know but do you know? Yeah probably, I like to think that I did my part to help you along the correct path.

Since you just ask for something lighthearted and comical, maybe I can recommend Noble Works here. Other than that, both of Osadai and Wanko to Kurasou should fulfill your criteria as well, Hope my recommendations will be help, and have fun play the VN with your friend.

I'm surprised you havn't reviewed this already. Yeah I thought it was a good yuri game and I think if you are going to handle incest (I'm not a fan) then this is probably the best way. The one major problem I had with this game is that there are too many times when characters would just cold show up out of nowhere. It happened at least four times.

Considering that I'm always wrong when it comes to predictions like this, I will for once go the opposite direction and say "nothing from Alicesoft". Now I'm either right (for once) or I will gain access to something good. It's a win-win.

People should rightfully expect licensing announcements at panels, especially when release dates are usually announced through Twitter.

Asking for release dates as announcements. Seriously, they got such a bad reaction from making 4 announcements from Anime Central 2016 hard copy announcements that I doubt they'll ever announce anything besides localizations nowadays. They'll most likely announce release dates on their Twitter whenever they're due to come out in a month.

Nekopara Lighthearted tale about underaged cat harems. The cuteness and lewdness is cranked upto 11. There's always Vol2 and Vol3 for later on (vol2 onward has a cute feature where you can stroke the catgirls with the mouse, and they purr).

Trinoline would've been a cool announcement last year if it hadn't been spoiled 6 months beforehand. Either way, I agree with you on the predictions, although Rance games are too high profile for such a con, even if they are boring.

Please trianthology please please Btw, did they post the survey summary?

Especially when Sekai Project or MoeNovel is involved.

https://vndb.org/c9481 The one and only time I was seriously tempted.

depending on how much sex you can tolerate, going through Mamankyoushitsu (nukige) to reach the harem route might be worth it. The reasoning behind the harem route is fucking hilarious.

So...you're an Indonesian company, but taking money in JPY?? Is your company based in JP or something? (anyways...) Good luck though, looks like you guys are going to hit your KS goal. I'll check out the demo this weekend and come back my thoughts

I'm rather shy, the only person who knows about my visual novel addiction is my boyfriend and some very long-term friends who I'm hanging out with for years.

The Wire + Training day + Mad Max + The Wicker man? I don't know how those could go together (well except for the wire and training day) but I find it to be very intriguing.

Religious zealots? Awesome setting and time period? Unique characters and plot? I'm sold.

Less English

Less meaningless choices. I want the choices I pick to make a difference. Meaningless choices are my biggest pet peeve in VNs. Like, why are they even there?! Grrr...
