Thanks for the weekly blog review! Only just realized we can comment in the blogs. Hehehe. Good to see Sekai/Denpa's backlog starting to clear cause they have a LOOOOT and it's hard to tell when they'll be able to clear it out. Sad at NekoNyan's payment processor. Hopefully things work out for them since more effort is needed to release now. Highly anticipating Riddle Joker and Secret Project 3 (which I hope is Tenshin Ranman or a previously dropped TL that was picked up and translated). I am also really sad at the comment of Kinugasa considering he's done amazing work on YouZitsu LN. I suppose there are some nuances specific to VNs that make it tough for him to write a scenario. Although I can't believe he's balancing YouZitsu while writing scenarios for VN.

Right now, the only thing I'm currently watching is Kami-sama ni Natta Hi (The Day I Became a God). If anyone has any strong recommendations, that would be great. It's only 4 episodes in but I'm loving it so far seeing the typical Key formula. And as usual, Jun Maeda (the sadistic genius who loves seeing our tears) is making me tear-up with his compositions. Definitely getting the OST for this when it comes out. I'm actually hoping that this might turn into a VN someday. I actually think Izanami might be in my top 1-3 favorite female characters design-wise (Na-Ga really stepped it up with the artwork). Also considering Mahouka (for continuity purposes) and Tonikaku Kawaii (I read the manga) and Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko (seems like a decent isekai). Majo no Tabitabi seems to be doing well based on the charts (at #3) so I'm highly considering that too. 100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatte Iru is something I'm considering also but depends if I have time.

Thanks for the recommendation and for your blogs Umikana looks good and seems more in line with my type of VN, so I'll definitely check it out (I'll withhold judgement from it being translated by MoeNovel hahaha).

I think Katawa Shoujo wasn't released yet when I got into VNs. I forgot how I got into VNs also although I think it was through Little Busters when they first started TL then after reading the synopsis a bit I decided to try Key games in order (starting from One which was made by the same people who later formed Key).

Yehey! Zaka-senpai noticed me I'll probably put some votes once I go through them again. I find myself with a lot of free time due to the pandemic XD

Hi all, Long time lurker over here. I've been around since 2014 but don't really post or comment (I'm kind of a shy guy hahaha). I may not be present in words but I'm still here. You can call me River or Alphy (I forgot who called me this but I got the nickname back when I was watching and commenting on Meph and Ren's Cocoro@Function stream a looong time ago. I think it might have been Zaka but not sure). I'm interested in all sort of Japanese media from the typical manga to anime to WNs, VNs and LNs. My first ever VN was One (from Tactics) but the VN closest to my heart is Key's Little Busters (I really resonate with the theme, the characters and I had followed it from the time translation started to when it finished). My favorite VNs are probably moeges and charages. I read some nukiges also but I tend to avoid ones with dark plotlines (with a few exceptions). Out of the VNs I've played recently (within the last year), I'd have to say AnoHare has got to be my favorite so far overall (I love rockets and space and I learnt a lot). My favorite VN heroine so far is Inamura Rio from Dracu-Riot. (she's my waifu :3). And my favorite protagonist is Ninomiya Hajime from IxShe Tell for being hilarious. My translation wishlist is Kurano-kunchi no Futago Jijou (where my profile pic comes from), Natsuyume Nagisa, Karumaruka Circle, Mashiroiro Symphony, Fortune Arterial, and Natsu no Ame. My favorite developers are Key (for general story) and Saga Planets (for general visuals). If you have any recommendations, feel free to leave it down below. I'll be around! Cheers! P.S. Zaka and littleshogun are 99.9% of the reason I'm even still lurking around (I read littleshogun's blog every week hahaha and kudos to Zaka for the VNTS). Please notice me Zaka-senpai and littleshogun-senpai >.< P.P.S. For anyone curious enough, I have a list of played VNs at VNDB under the same username (https://vndb.org/u116199/ulist?vnlist=1).

Really appreciate the effort Ren and Mephisto Doing live TLs is definitely not easy.

Will be watching!!! Hope that you keep on streaming Cocoro@Function! Really enjoying it
