Takehiko Inoue, Vagabond

I remember ACF saying that he would release whatever's done immediately if he heard it was being licensed. Well i'm fine with translation teams releasing stuff whenever they want. They took up the project so they're free to do what they want with it. If they get paychecks out of it, well that's great for them. They did the work. Thinking about Fan-translation teams, it'll be great if everyone just chilled out and supported them positively. If their translations are poor, veterans here give them positive criticism so they can improve. They may drop a project, or get licensed or take a long time to do it, at least they're attempting to bring something to us. For free. Without any real effort from us (i refuse to count checking for updates as real effort ). Disclaimer: I'm not targeting this at anyone here, its just something that came to mind now so i just wrote it down. It is just my opinion and I don't mean to offend anyone in any way at alll.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/azusa_twin/recommended/487430/ This answered some questions I had about the Vn. For those who are curious about the length and content and such.

Its being translated. Iirc, there's been updates on the manga gamer progress page. Its at 50 percent now. http://blog.mangagamer.org/project-status/ They have like 5 games at 100 percent now, maybe they switched focus for a bit to finish those games. They only have 3 games left after that so i reckon they'll get it done promptly. Well that's just what i think .

Just watched Gosick. I really enjoyed it. I like how it built up towards the end. I didn't expect it to get as dark as it did. The revelations of what exactly happened to her mother. That interaction she had with her mother through the clock tower window was heartbreaking. They mentioned she wasn't able to speak then, due to being cut off from the world. She just makes this broken sounds trying to communicate with her mother. Man, i wont soon forget that scene. The mystery element was good, but i reckon it would be better to read the novel for that, not easy fitting it all into 20min episodes. It did have its faults, but nothings ever perfect. One thing that did annoy me throughout the anime was Kujo shouting VICTORICAAAAAAAAA every 5 seconds. On to Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! now.

This post gives me so much hope. If at least a few of these titles get announced i'll be happy. Thank you for elaborating!

Just finished Majikoi S [held on to koyuki's route for A-1's release]. It was an enjoyable read. I got A-1, Tokyo Babel, Seinarukana, Root Double and Dracu-Riot waiting, among a list of others. I love Majikoi so i sort of want to hold on to A-1 longer and just savor the fact that its there waiting for me to read. Had a taste of Mio's route with Dracu-Riot, but figured i better just wait a couple of months for the edit and Miu translation. The teams going to the trouble to do it for us and all. Ready to devour both those Vn's though. No idea which to pick next...

Beautiful.

Since it hasn't been mentioned, regarding gameplay Vn's. Bunny black 2, Seinarukana, Beat Blades Haruka and Danganronpa 2 (for windows) got released. Ps: Tried Koisuru, looks beautiful and the translation is good from what i gather. I played one route then stalled it, because the stories were a bit flat in my opinion. If u enjoyed Koichoco, you'll probably like Noble Works and Princess Evangile. Those definitely have better stories and humor. Oh and what Decay mentioned are the top tiers in their genres this year (translated Vns).

Same. Hopefully. I don't even mind if it takes a few years lol. Well once i'm done with the translated Vns [still have a lot 2 go]. i'll prob seriously start thinking of learning Japanese. Probably. Takae right? Her real route is in A-5 isn't it. You got a long wait ahead of you man. Stay strong! PS:Translators thank you very much for your hard work, no pressure if you translate the rest or not, you guys have already done so much. Much gratitude!

I actually saved Majikoi S main route for A-1 to get released. So i can get a refresher before going into A-1. Still playing S now lol. Majikoi S isn't bad at all, i went into it thinking its basically a fan-disk. It can't be compared to the first of course, but it wasn't meant 2 anyway. I as a fan was satisfied, i got 2 see the Majikoi world again, all the characters, the new routes. It was a pleasant journey down memory lane. I skipped a lot of H-scenes though (revisited them at my leisure later). Lee and Stacy routes, man playing through S now, i drool at the possibilities of their routes. Really liked the three maids. Btw, does dark Seiso appear in her route? do you get to romance her while she's in her empress mode? that'll be hot. The red eyes and glare man. That voice 2! If only there was an Ageha route 2! K before i start rambling on, I love Majikoi.

Key

Stumbled upon it,edit *2010. Creator, Monty Oum. Awesome stuff

You could use http://sagaoz.net/savedata/index.htm. Its has 100% save files for almost any Vn out there. Just key in the Japanese Vn names from VNDB in the search. Cheers

Hahahaha that was awesome! and hilarious! i wouldn't say its a Bohemian Rhapsody tribute, its more like they're singing Maria and Draco with almost the same vocal ranges and harmonies as Bohemian Rhapsody. It certainly 'feels' like Bohemian Rhapsody though, the guitar work and vocals. Thanks for this!

Its 40usd? Its 17usd for me if i converted the price from my country's currency charged on steam. I didn't know steam charged differently for different locations.

The second one [Kawasaki Tadataka] Cho- kaifuku | Fast Recovery (COMIC Purumelo 2013-02) [English] [Kameden] i used https://www.tineye.com/ to do a reverse image search of the picture. Cheers

Hakaze Kusaribe - Zetsuen no Tempest

Omg i forgot about them! [kept think of kajitsu], hahahaha mate we have the same taste indeed , I liked the way you ended that line. Good word usage. You just hyped me up even more for a game that i'll probably have to wait a year to play! I'm assuming that the all-ages and 18+ version are separate games, as in the 18+ version isn't a patch to the all-ages version, right? [Thanks for the clarification btw]

You mean the after stories of the heroine endings from Kajitsu right, I was actually really looking forward to those, along with the continuation of the main story of course. I got kinda of attached to all their storylines from Kajitsu, looking forward to seeing what happen after [yes yes H-scenes 2! ]. Also, like you mentioned in your spoiler, that's exactly the reason i'm thinking of waiting. I'll probably be way more satisfied and content then.

Guess i'm in for a wait then, well i'm ok with it. I really do love grisaia [the 2nd Vn i played after majikoi] and have been looking forward to the game very much, but i don't mind waiting for it since the 18+ plus version is the one i want. Need some yumiko ecch, right @DarkZedge . Also as i said, i may even wait for rakuen to come out next year (hopefully) and play them back to back

I'll be waiting on the 18+ version as well. If i recall correctly, they said it'll take a month or two right? Been thinking of waiting for Rakuen too and play them back to back, some of you probably know why. Been a great week for Vn releases! Good luck with that, you write great reviews. Oh, and good luck with Dracu-riot, i'm sure you guys will do it justice. No pressure, no rush.

Really amazing rendition guys, beautiful. They really belted it too. Man the memories of playing FF6. Great stories.. [Btw @Deep Blue thanks a lot for the last swan, it was really beautiful. I got kinda melancholic listening to it, which is fine. Saving it to favorites]
