https://bang-dream-gbp-en.bushiroad.com/ Ok so I kind of regret being a LoveLive! School Idol Festival loyalist and not hopping on the banDwagon for the EN version of BanG Dream! Girls Band Party (Bandori) But wow I finally started it this week and it's really fun. Bandori is a mobile rhythm game revolving around 5 girl bands each with 5 members. So that's 25 names to remember, 25 potential waifus, 25 idk glhf. Actually let me see if I can type them all out now: Poppin' Party: Kasumi, Alisa, Rimi, Saya, Tae Afterglow: Ran, Moca, Tsumigi, Tomoe, Himari Pastel Palettes: Aya, Eve, Maya, Chisato, Hina, Roselia: Yukina, Sayo, Rinko, Ako, Lisa Hello Happy World: Kokoro, Mitsuki, Kanon, Kaoru, Hagumi I swear i didn't look any of them up (jk maybe like two or three ._.) The first couple of hours is a bit overwhelming since you are familiarizing yourself with the game interface, mechanics, and the characters but there's plenty of Main Story and Band Story scenes along with (hundreds?) of small talk conversations between members on the world map to flesh out these characters. There's actually so much story I ended up just skipping through them all for now just so i can get the rewards and continue playing Rhythm gameplay is great and very satisfying; it's easy to get into yet challenging to master. Despite being a LLSIF veteran I got smacked by even the Hard songs starting out. But now I can manage to beat songs up to 25* EX, though Full Comboing them is a different story, and unfortunately 26* is a slow suicide, and 27*+ hahahaa insta-death Most of the songs are catchy and they even have cover songs, I was like when I saw they had Little Busters! Multi-Live is genius, you are encouraged to play with others due to the increased rewards, and whoever in general devised the ingame resources is deviously brilliant because unlike LLSIF where G does absolute shit, this game has plenty of various materials via s/m/l power/pure/cool/happy shards that you can only gain by playing Lives and are necessary to purchase boosts to your team stat and more importantly, to promote one of your girls to their idolized version. TL;DR the incentives to play in this game are nicely thought out. Want to idolize that ultra rare 4* Wonderland Kanon card? You'll have to farm up shards, and you'll want to play with others because you'll get more shards in doing so. Win-win. I've played so much I'm in top 1000 for the current Runaway Rabbits event, gg

It's been a while since I've made an introduction post; I'm a bit rusty at it. I've been reading VNs for who-knows-how-long. I don't remember what exactly was my first, but some of the earliest ones I played were Narcissu, Hotel Dusk, the first two Ace Attorney games, and Katawa Shoujo. I'm mostly interested in yuri, otome, and BL (usually in that order), but I won't turn down a well-written galge. I don't watch much anime or read manga very often, and I don't read light novels at all, but I do listen to a lot of Japanese music, especially j-metal and visual kei. Both my avatar and signature images are from j-power album covers. I play a shitton of video games besides VNs (my backlog is embarrassingly large) and have a major soft spot for narrative-focused games, which is one of the reasons I'm so interested in VNs. I'll read just about anything put in front of me, which is both a blessing and a curse. I'm a professional editor/proofreader and do writing commissions, including for VNs. Among others, I was a proofreader for Pairs and This, My Soul. I'm the writer of a yuri KN named A Tale of Two Extras; it's unfortunately stalled at the moment, but I'm determined to get it released someday! I've been studying Japanese for a while now, though I still consider myself beginner-level (as in "not even N5" beginner-level) and don't plan on translating anything anytime soon. It's nice to meet you all!

I believe the crux of the issue is that they do exactly that, and that the English versions are a case of them telling the developers: 'Hey, BTW we also do those' and them replying 'k, cool'.

YT hates you

For me it was True Love Jun'ai Monogatari - somewhere around 2001 I think. I managed to finish it using walkthrough. I didn't know back then the term "VN" - that was, as Frullo NDE pointed out - "dating sim" or "hentai game". I also remember Nocturnal Illusion, Three sisters story and Fatal Relations from that time, but never finished them - they were too convoluted or too long for horny teenager . Then, last year, "one thing led to another" (flash h-games >> some rather bad OELVNs like "No One but You", some Dharker titles or - heaven forbid! - Sakura Swim Club >>) and I landed on Dal Segno, which I consider first "proper" VN I read - and I got hooked.

Play deresute pls

OH NO

Someone made this, at last Here's mine :

I will second Kikan Bakumatsu Ibun Last Cavalier.

Updating this thread with the rest of the side cast! (At least for the demo xD The full game will have more side characters.)

Vermilion Bind of Blood Zero Infinity Kikan Bakumatsu Ibun Last Cavalier Bradyon Veda Jingai Makyou

So here's the thing if a vn company in Japan is not willing to put forth effort and research into what people think of their would be translators and publishers then why should we give them the time of day?

I've been analysing the sexual content of VNs, what's become more common, what gets the best ratings, and what content tends to come together; and thought I'd present some of my results in a slightly different way: in a quiz! Using the extensive character database on vndb, I tracked which appearance and personality traits were more or less likely to engage in types of sexual activity, and put the results in a quiz format so you can enter the tropes and it'll tell you how the percentages diverge from the average. This is a slightly silly way to present the results, but I thought you guys might enjoy it. You can try the quiz here.

Hey, I'd like to think they at least make good on their word, so just send a question in if you have something you want to know or ask the director. Although by now you may not make it to the deadline... Well, it's written there 'Might feature it' so there is probably a chance it will go on, supposing you don't ask sensitive questions. And of course someone saw them, I'm sure that staff member who...erm, got in trouble is technically still working there, and this too is part of his job, I think.

Here's the full opening of ef Latter Tale (Emotional Flutter), and the most interesting part to me here is the bridge between the first part and the second part (The violin).

Seasons of the Sakura, Runaway City and other '90s "hentai games" (that's what they were called back then at least in italian forums) in the earlies 2000s. Tried random Vns here and then (inclluding obviously Katawa Shoujo) in the following years, but didn't really get into the scene until I've read Steins;Gate in 2016.

Cobra Mission in 1994, followed by Knights of Xentar in 1995. Amy's Fantasies, Seasons of the Sakura, Divi-Dead, Nocturnal Illusion, Runaway City, Desire, True Love... all the classics. First Japanese language VN was Kanon in 1999.

Tsukihime Rated 18+ The story begins in a recollection of a boy called Tohno Shiki in his childhood years. There, he gains a power out of this world - the ability to see the "death" of people and things. What is the meaning of this power, and what can he do with it? This is his story of finding the missing pieces of the puzzle. The girls that the player can end up with are: Arcueid, Ciel, Akiha, Hisui, and Kohaku. ENDING GUIDE Please note that each of the characters, except one, will have TWO endings. The FIRST playthrough will let you get the TRUE END, and LOADING from a checkpoint for that character can get you that character's GOOD or NORMAL END. If not, you may have to replay the route again. NOTE that the choices that you see within this guide are the choices that the AUTHOR used. It is the author's recommendation that you play in this particular order so that all characters' routes can be unlocked. WALKTHROUGH GUIDE ~Near Side of the Moon Routes~ Arcueid Brunestud's Route True End Good End Ciel's Route True End Good End ~Far Side of the Moon Routes~ Akiha Tohno's Route NOTE: You will need to have cleared the game once before you can get Akiha's Endings. True End Normal End Extra Normal End Hisui's Route NOTE: You will need to have cleared the game once before you can get Hisui's True End. True End Good End Kohaku's Route NOTE: To properly play Kohaku's Route, you will need to clear the game twice before you can get this ending. Once with any Arcueid's or Ciel's Endings and once with Hisui's True Ending.

I'm watching the BanG Dream anime now too, really interesting to see how the Poppin' Party girls got to meet each other. On Episode 4. Kasumi, Arisa and Rimi all act as expected, Saya though was unexpected with how nonchalant she is and how Kasumi is waay closer atm with Arisa and Rimi despite meeting Saya first And Tae somehow got totally gimped for these first episodes, barely any screentime whatsoever compared to the others so im guessing the later episodes will center around her if not then the writers need to get shot because tae is bae ~~ I think i tried but couldnt get into it because I'm an EN scrub and too lazy to look up translated menus SO YOU'RE THAT ONE PRICK THAT, WHEN ALL FOUR OTHER PEOPLE GET THEIR CUT-IN CGs SAYING THEY ARE READY FOR THE FEVER TIMES AND WE'RE ALL PUMPED UP BUT THEN THERE'S THIS ONE NOB WE'RE WAITING FOR FINGERS CROSSED BUT THEN THAT NOB NEVER MAKES IT AND THEN WE SEE THEIR SPRITE HAS THE TWIST OF SHAME AND IT'S LIKE GODDAMIT THERE GOES THE A-RANK CLEAR jOiN ussSS
