    Just finished Island, and while i was not convinced at the beginning, the initial “routes” are truly just fodder, the ending was however quite acceptable. 7.5/10 would provide more review but I’m posting to the graveyard right now 😜

    Ayy what’s good you old FuwaFucks 🤙
    I’ve been watching Glass Mask the “newer” version, its pretty good for a drama, shoujo. Romantic elements present but not overt, realistic setback and character growth. When i saw it had a pretty gold score on MAL i had to give it a shot, and havent been disappointed

    Demon’s Souls looks really good, with it being such an old title there was a lot of room to work with. I look forward to playing it. Glad I didn’t see Bloodborne tbh I don’t think it should be a top priority for remaster right now

    On another note, the main reason that forums are failing is, of course, because of the major social media giants.  The other reason is that forums are from the age when people actually were willing to be civil with people who disagreed with them.  In the age of dogmatic shout-outs, there is a lot less demand for a deliberative setting, which is pathetically sad.  It's almost like we went back to the age before the car or even the age before the printing press, when people acted like the entirety of the world is their small village or neighborhood (in a psychological sense).  
    As for fantranslation, there will always be a small number of people who like to translate things on their own, but most will be willing to sell the translation to an existing localization company at the drop of a hat.  After all, translating VNs is a ton of work that eats away at time no matter how much you pace yourself, and it is extremely lonely, because very few groups stay together long enough to get things done (there is always someone who ends up doing much more than their part and burning out and a bunch of others that feel ashamed they aren't doing enough and fade away).
    Is Fuwa irrelevant?  At present, the answer is a qualified no.  No forum with members is ever irrelevant to the community, however small, it serves.  However, because Tay didn't hand over the keys to the front page or most of the other parts of the site, there is no way for anybody to run this place anymore.  If he had at least let someone else have the authority to do everything involving the front site, Fuwa probably would have stayed much more relevant to the larger community.  Unfortunately, without that ability, there is literally nothing Emi was able to do to keep things running.  
    Discord and Twitter are useless for forming communities, for different reasons than Facebook or Reddit.  Essentially, whoever shouts out the most or the latest is the one who 'wins' there, so there is no 'discussion'.  There is only a bunch of shout-outs that it is too much trouble for most to sort through.  This is also the reason why individual Discords become irrelevant so fast... once people realize there is no way to catch people's attention without being an ass, they feel empty and decide to go elsewhere, where they repeat the same cycle over and over.

    Tay has disappeared.  It is more or less official.  
    Emi has to deal with rl, so she doesn't really have time to be here.
    Nayleen is apparently still around.
    Any otaku forum's primary purpose is to serve as a home for its community.  Everything else is secondary.  To be blunt, Reddit, Facebook, and the other major sites can't produce the kind of 'at-home' feeling a forum can (not to mention that they are evil monstrosities that exist solely to drain people of their information so it can be sold to third parties), and Fuwa is my home on the net.

    Well, I'm writing on a phone so I'll be brief... 
    1. You probably through your absence missed the worst times of institutional paralyses due to Tay's disappearance. This was partially resolved by Emi taking charge, but generally, nothing could be done on Fuwa for literal years because Tay went AWOL. When it got (partially) fixed, there was no energy left to ressurect the site as something more than the Forums, which is also staying alive through inertia more than anything else. Because no main site content = no traffic and no new people. 
    2. The main roles of this site are not as important as they once were. People get news and discuss them on Reddit. Socialise on Discord. Organise fan translation... Pretty much nowhere because those are dead. I'm being hyperbolic, but only a little. Fuwa is a cool community... But is in no way essential as it once was. The "fix" I was hoping to spearhead for that issue was making it something like an editorial/review hub once more... But few people, me including, had any kind of energy for it, and none had enough for long-term commitment. 
    3. When it goes to the community itself and the atmosphere on the site, I think it's overwhelmingly positive. I'm not objective here of course, but I don't think it's toxic members of any kind of cultural flaw that keeps Fuwa down. Unless you count lethargy as one.
    I don't want to discourage you and any initiative to energise the community is welcomed. I'm not sure there's an answer to this crisis though, different then the community being old, slightly anachronistic and really not having time or energy for all that reforming/rebuilding business. :>

    What are you interested in outside of Japanese culture? Even outside of video games or TV? And what did you used to enjoy but don’t really anymore?

    Fore me I’m always playing around with something new, spent some time in the past gardening but now don’t really have a care for it. Then moved on collecting bolt action WWII rifles, which has been difficult as I am by no means wealthy, over time I’ve collected examples of most of the rifles used by the major forces in WWII.  I’ve actually noticed a lot of people interested in otaku stuff are also interested in military surplus firearms and history. More recently I’ve been getting into wine, though it’s partially due to my job requiring me to have that kind of knowledge. Learning about various varieties around the world and pairing with food is extremely difficult, but enjoyable. Never would have imagined I would enjoy wine as an adult but now I drink it relatively often.

    It’s been a while. About 4 years since I was last an active member of the community, but I have been logging in and stocking your profiles occasionally ever since then  
    For those who don’t know me I was a board mod albeit for a very short time. Also tried to lead some translation projects, all at probably the worst time as I had been accepted into my biochemistry major at that time (and that’s why you haven’t seen me)
    I haven’t been reading a lot of visual novels lately. Though I’m planning on going through Summer Pockets soon if I can find the time. Still watching lots of anime, have spent over 100 hours of my existence in front of Japanese cartoons. 
     
    I will probably pitter around the light topics from time to time. See you out there~

Since the recent release of the fully translated patch for Majikoi there has been increased attention to the series. For this reason we would like to begin working on Majikoi A-1 in coordination with the project working on Majikoi S. By working on both projects at the same time we can bring the series in its glorious entirety to the community in a shorter time than one team could accomplish.

    So not only did my local game shop still have a copy, they were giving away posters, naked Tenshi cardboard square thingies, and a bonus Girls Dead Monster single (Million Star). The actual box itself contains everything you see above; trading cards, a mini art-booklet (that's the black thing), a piano OST and an Angel Beats radio show CD, a big plastic emblem thingy and some ads for their upcoming games/anime. All for less than $70. Key sure knows how to stuff their stuff. Can't wait to get started.
