Suzu Fanatic

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on that summer release of G-Senjou no Maou. Jast must be teaching SP how to do things. That being said, where's Sumaga at? Is that thing STILL in editing?

Just watched the first episode of Kakumeiki Valvrave. Can't decide to drop or give it more of a chance. Felt really "busy" for a single episode, kinda concerned it doesn't know what to do with itself. Thoughts? Is it any good? EDIT: Re-watched the first episode, when I actually had time to focus on it and not a million other things. I take back what I said earlier, it actually has a pretty good start.

No means no - her "getting into it" is just heat of the moment. A body can't help but feel good when stimulated, even if it's against a persons will. It's like when you put food in your mouth, you can't help but taste it. The fact she has feelings for him probably play a part in it, but at that point I consider it emotional manipulation as well as rape.

I personally don't recall any troubles with the skip button, but milage must vary. =/ Make sure you have it set to only skip previously read text, to avoid blowing past content by accident.

Finished all I want to do in Snow Sakura. (read Saki's and Misaki's routes) For how much is written, there sure is a whole lot of nothing going on most of the time~ Probably doesn't help I dislike the TL style. Wouldn't call the stories/themes "bad" or anything, but definitely forgettable.

From a completely neutral perspective, I'd like to point out that we have to remember just how many disasters have struck Japan in recent years. And since it's an island country, they don't exactly have a lot of wiggle room. The Fukashima reactors are still a huge technical and financial nightmare they have to contend with - right in their backyard. As well as such events as the massive floodings. Don't get me wrong, It's rather drastic and heavy-handed, but I can guess at what they are aiming for. They don't exactly have the luxury of time and money. ...That having been said - Crazy Abe sure likes to do controversial things.

So making a bit more progress in Snow Sakura...but I'm wondering if I should quit before I lose braincells...I just came across a Jar Jar Binks reference the translator decided to throw in randomly... -_- But, it's not the first (now ancient) pop-culture reference I've seen while reading this, so I guess I'll live. Guess I'll just have to man up and hope for the best.

ah cool, glad to have helped.

Make sure you have everything from this page d/l'd and installed correctly (if you haven't already) - you might have a out-of-date TL. https://web.archive.org/web/20150221211427/http://staircasesubs.com/hoshizora-no-memoria/ Official game bugfix (by Favorite) Complete English Patch 1.0 English patch update 1.2 1.

lol, don't worry, that spoiler is a lie. My best advice? Try not to be swayed by preconceptions, based on the words of others.

Best way is to find out for yourself, and make your own call on it. I've read stuff people said was great, that I found terrible - and vice versa.

Hmm, not sure how to best explain his personality - but I will at least say I found him much more tolerable compared to a lot of anime/VN protags. I skipped her route, lol~ I think the problem is they didn't give me any real motivation to try - they didn't bother with a hint that peeked under her mask in the common route (at least to my memory)

Personally, I'd say Ren's list is fairly accurate, but perhaps tinged with a negative mindset. (though it's true that Aoi is a bitch ) Identity, self-confidence, insecurity, unrequited love. These are the stronger dramatic traits throughout the stories - to lesser/greater extents. But the cast is (subjectivly) likable and normally behave in down-to-earth fashions - they just trip and fall sometimes, like anyone.

Mostly kittens and rainbows, but it does still hold a fair share of drama - for the sake of "dilemma"/balance. But it's nothing heavy like what you've read previously. Milage may vary, but I felt good overall reading it.

Routes: Ayaka > Rise > Ritsuko > Chiho Girls: Ritsuko > Ayaka/Rise > Chiho

So I guess that means they're not simply cleaning up/making use of the already existing TL, huh?

oh god why

Offtopic thoughts regarding Futaki (spoilers):

Tough decision, but these stand out most in my mind. 1. Fate/Stay Night 2. Ayakashibito 3. ef - a fairy tale of the two. 4. Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo 5. Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate 6. Utawarerumono 7. Yosuga no Sora - In Solitude, Where We are Least Alone. 8. Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star- 9. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (and kai) 10. Clannad

you're welcome and if that wasn't enough nightmare fuel for you:

Not really surprised it got pulled from Steam. The content in the demo would have been no issue imo, but the direct linking to a site like DLsite was just asking for trouble. Actually decided to buy a copy for the hell of it - but for now though it'll just sit in my backlog~

1. Can't recall, I believe 3rd or 4th. 2. Sadly, none. You can completely ignore her route. (I had high hopes personally, but it turns out to be a pretty shallow experience.)
