OriginalRen Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Community Spotlight Video Series Information I have finally begun work on my spotlight video series, and much like I did with the Fuwanovel podcast, I thought it would be best to consolidate all of this project's information into a single official thread. As you may have been aware, I am not the only one on this site that does projects for the community; there are plenty of translation groups and fun activities that are hosted around Fuwanovel. That being said, I wanted to make a video series showcasing some of the awesome stuff people do around here and give everyone credit where I believe credit is well deserved. Being completely separate from the podcast and the "Get to Know your Community" series, these videos are meant to showcase Fuwanovel and the countless hours put into it everyday. Rather than talking about who we are, the goal of the series is to talk about what we do. That being said, I plan to showcase many threads and translation groups from around the community in my videos. Because there are so many different things I am able to highlight however, these videos will not be episodic and simply be put into a playlist on my YouTube channel in the order they are released. That said, this thread is designed to discuss things you as members want to see highlighted around the site. If you have any suggestions for what I should spotlight, please don't hesitate to let me know. Below is a link where all current and future episodes are located on my YouTube channel. Community Spotlight Video Series YouTube Channel Playlist Anyways, I hope you enjoy the series and check out some of the other threads and activities around Fuwanovel as a result. nohman, Nimbus, Kosakyun and 2 others 5 Quote
Diamon Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Good luck with this! It's really a good initiative for the fuwa community! I'm very impressed by the amount of time and resources you spend on the fuwa forums, and I really feel that it's thanks to people like you that fuwa is such an entertaining and interesting place! EDIT : Have you thought about putting some english subs in your videos? (maybe through Youtube a annotations?) A lot of people on fuwanovel (like myself) are not english native speaker, and might have an easier time reading through what you say than listening to it. Quote
binaryfail Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Good luck with this! It's really a good initiative for the fuwa community! I'm very impressed by the amount of time and resources you spend on the fuwa forums, and I really feel that it's thanks to people like you that fuwa is such an entertaining and interesting place! EDIT : Have you thought about putting some english subs in your videos? (maybe through Youtube a annotations?) A lot of people on fuwanovel (like myself) are not english native speaker, and might have an easier time reading through what you say than listening to it. Here are subtitles I made for the videos. They're formatted as SRT, which can be uploaded to YouTube. Spotlight Introduction - Part 1 1 00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:04,690 Hey everybody. OriginalRen here from the forums doing another late night video 2 00:00:04,690 --> 00:00:11,110 to showcase my new project that I started, the Community Spotlight video series. 3 00:00:11,110 --> 00:00:14,910 I had introduced this series a while ago, and it was a project I was working on. 4 00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:19,800 I said that I would introduce around the time of September before I left for Japan. 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,910 Well, I thought this was a good introduction to it to show you how I want play it around the website 6 00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:27,840 and I thought: what better way to do it than with the recent post. 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,170 I just updated and revamped entirely for Fuwanovel 8 00:00:32,170 --> 00:00:37,820 which is the "Introduction to Fuwanovel" in the Introduce Yourself forums for new members. 9 00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:44,810 So what I'm going to do here is go through the actual thread itself -- the post itself 10 00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:50,860 and just showcase some of the threads and activities you guys can do around the website. 11 00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:57,780 This is a great -- I'd like to first start off by saying this is a great video for new members to watch. 12 00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:01,580 I can show you what this thread is about if you don't want, 13 00:01:01,580 --> 00:01:05,530 you know, the TL;DR if you don't really want to read all of this. 14 00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:09,290 So feel free to check this video out and it'll explain everything 15 00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:14,630 Like I said, this is what I want to preview for the video series, the Community Spotlight. 16 00:01:14,630 --> 00:01:17,760 I plan to do this for a lot of different threads and activities around the forums 17 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,780 and showcase what our community is all about. 18 00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:24,930 Again, it's separate from the podcast. It's not just the "get to know people on an individual level." 19 00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:28,550 It's "get to know what they're doing" in the actual community. 20 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:31,190 So here's the first one I want to do, the Introduction. 21 00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:34,460 So I have it opened here and I'm just going to go through it. 22 00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:40,930 So, what I start out with here is you'll notice that I just give a little spiel and introduce people to the forums 23 00:01:40,930 --> 00:01:44,910 and I go into, saying that if you have not done so already as new member, 24 00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:47,370 you should use the Introduce Yourself forums on the main page. 25 00:01:47,370 --> 00:01:50,680 And if I click this link right here, it directs me right to that page. 26 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,550 A lot of people like to introduce themselves here in this forum and it basically is a place to break the ice. 27 00:01:56,550 --> 00:02:02,560 I said this in my post. If you want to talk about visual novels you enjoy, anime like you to watch, 28 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:09,540 or just what makes you tick... like "Who are you?", "What do you like to do?", "Where are you from?", "What do you enjoy?" 29 00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:15,920 This is a great place to go. A lot of people are really friendly in our community, and they like to talk to a lot of people 30 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,170 so I recommend introducing yourself if you have not. 31 00:02:19,170 --> 00:02:23,480 So it kind of shows that from my link. Let me go back here too... 32 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,940 The next thing I go into is that everyone should check out the rules of the forums 33 00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:35,370 and I did link them here. And a lot of times, I actually didn't find these rules until about 2 months into the actual website. 34 00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:40,720 It's interesting because not a lot of people know where this is. So this just has all of our rules 35 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,490 including the recent rules that were updated for reporting people, and how reports work. 36 00:02:46,490 --> 00:02:50,620 Off-topic, pornography, crime. Just anything that is official for content. 37 00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:59,290 How to change your name, doing user titles, reporting stuff -- how it all works and stuff like that. 38 00:02:59,290 --> 00:03:03,320 So you need any help with that, check out the forum rules. It's all linked in there. 39 00:03:03,890 --> 00:03:09,580 After the forums rules, I also have my tutorial video which I put in this actual post. 40 00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:18,070 This tutorial video is the video that has an explanation of how to use the forums, and some of the unique features with it. 41 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:22,280 It also gives you a low-down if you're new to forum websites. 42 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,720 If you've already posted an introduction post, you're well on your way to becoming a forum expert master. Congratulations. 43 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,160 But this video can help you. Some people don't really want to watch a 17 minute video as shown here, 44 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,750 so I linked also the help section in my thread here which goes into all the details. 45 00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:46,700 This is located at the bottom. Tells you everything... How do you register, how do you log in, how do you post, 46 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:52,670 just literally type a thread, and what BBC code is, and how it all works. 47 00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:57,450 -- BB code, sorry. I always say BBC because it's funny. 48 00:03:57,450 --> 00:04:06,760 In addition after that, I go into one last thing before I get into the actual thread itself, or the actual main juice of my post, 49 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:13,080 is that I recommend for anyone that's new to this community: checking out the lexicon of commonly used VN-related terms. 50 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,170 I know maefdomn, and a lot of other people like krill, and I think Aldred were involved in this. 51 00:04:18,170 --> 00:04:22,480 Plenty of people involved in this project. If I didn't list your name, I do apologize. 52 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,750 I just didn't really read it that much. 53 00:04:24,750 --> 00:04:34,880 This Google Doc has everything you need to know about term possible in the world of anime, otaku, visual novels, and things like that 54 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,940 So what are all the dere types, what are, you know... 55 00:04:37,940 --> 00:04:41,730 What does it mean when we say, "You're a yandere," or something. 56 00:04:41,730 --> 00:04:47,070 If you need help with that, and are kind of new to Japanese culture, Japanese animation, check that out. 57 00:04:47,070 --> 00:04:54,080 It's a really cool project that the website did, so I linked that as well in my Introduction to Fuwanovel post. 58 00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:01,560 Then I kind of get into the bulk of things. How I divided this thread was I split it into 3 different sections. 59 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,630 The very first section has all the introduction stuff, which I just went through. 60 00:05:05,630 --> 00:05:11,480 The second section is getting right into the main meat of everything on the site. 61 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,060 People come here because they want to play visual novels, generally speaking. 62 00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:18,420 That's why people sign up for Fuwanovel initially, or how they find it. 63 00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:22,160 You might have played Katawa Shoujo, or another game, 64 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,150 and you just find Fuwanovel and you're like, you know, "we have a bunch of VNs here" and all the stuff on the site. 65 00:05:27,150 --> 00:05:32,260 So they usually come here and I want this post to, like I said, to be that place where people can come to. 66 00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:36,900 So I started with the most important and then worked my way down to what I felt was more 67 00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:41,560 When you get familiar with the website, you get more into the community, which is down here. 68 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,300 Then I kind of end my post. 69 00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:47,900 So I'm at the top here, it's just the bulk. I immediately start with Downloads and Requests. 70 00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:53,260 If you wanted -- The very first thing I put out there is if you wanted to start reading a visual novel as soon as possible, boom! 71 00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:55,860 Check out the threads, this will give you everything you need to know. 72 00:05:55,860 --> 00:06:01,630 Maybe you don't want to go through all the, you know, hocus-pocus of Fuwanovel forums 73 00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:05,940 and you just want to get right into playing visual novels. That's why you came here. So I put this right at the top. 74 00:06:05,940 --> 00:06:09,850 People want to get right into it, people want to do it. So there's some links for you to check out. 75 00:06:09,850 --> 00:06:19,440 The "READ BEFORE POSTING" thread just tells you how to do everything on downloading links, and how to work them. 76 00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:26,290 And each description is listed right next to it, in case I miss it, and then the list of the download links. 77 00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:31,140 This is updated frequently. I still believe it is. I don't know how if it's been updated in a while, 78 00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:34,590 but it has translated and untranslated games, and where you can find them. 79 00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:38,760 I know "Alia's Carnival" is one I'd actually want to play for a while when I can find some websites for it, 80 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,240 and where I will need to get it, and where I can find the game. 81 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:49,300 And it also has other games as well... "Kira Kira", "Kara no Shoujo", everything you can find in this thread 82 00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,400 and so I want to thank dannyboo for making this, and the other people that have contributed to this 83 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,190 because it's really interesting and helps a lot of people on the website. 84 00:06:56,190 --> 00:07:04,250 In addition, each of the main links themselves link you right to the actual subforum immediately 85 00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:07,600 so if you click that, it just goes right into "Downloads and Requests." 86 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:14,060 So there's those pinned topics that are posted in there for quicker access. But other than that, everything you need is in here. 87 00:07:14,060 --> 00:07:20,540 If you want to download something, or you want to request a visual novel to be put up for download, 88 00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:22,400 or where you can find it, and things like that. 89 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,660 Immediately after that main section of getting the visual novels, I go right into English visual novels. 90 00:07:26,660 --> 00:07:32,000 Most people come to Fuwanovel with the common language of English and people want to read those translated visual novels 91 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,390 so if you want a complete list of every single English visual novel translated, 92 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:41,280 thanks to Okami, and I believe at the time, it was... 93 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,720 I can't remember his name right now... 94 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,970 Tom. (I'm sorry, I knew that.) 95 00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:53,860 They made this list of everything including, like, nukiges and every type of game. This is every single visual novel. 96 00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:57,680 I don't know if there's any new ones that have been released that haven't been updated 97 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,630 but you can see all the dates here of when they were released. 98 00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:04,820 It seems to actually keep getting updated because there is one here for 08/08/14. 99 00:08:04,820 --> 00:08:10,730 So, they are still updating this, and keeping it up-to-date. 100 00:08:10,730 --> 00:08:16,350 If you click any of these games, it goes right to VNDB, which is a database for all visual novels 101 00:08:16,350 --> 00:08:21,400 and it links you right to the page if you want to read the description and see CGs, reviews, 102 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,070 and everything you need to know. Where you can get the patches if you go down here, and stuff like that. 103 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:29,710 So if you need to find that right away, you can do that as well. 104 00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:34,590 Some check out as well. So I kind of did that after just getting the visual novels. 105 00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:38,600 Then most of the time when you download visual novels, the first thing that comes up is troubleshooting. 106 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,310 And so, I posted the troubleshooting thread after that. If you go to the "Technical Issues & Feedback" 107 00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:49,670 it leads you right to that subforum, which will tell you everything about how to... commonly... error messages. 108 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:56,370 I posted some of the stickies underneath it as well, just the one before you post. 109 00:08:56,370 --> 00:09:02,650 These are common game issues. One of the common game issues is setting your system locale to Japanese. 110 00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:07,790 This is a place for "Hey, my game doesn't save", "Hey, my game doesn't run... How do I make it run/work?" 111 00:09:07,790 --> 00:09:13,760 So this is the first section. I put this at the top of this "meat" section of this post 112 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,190 because I thought it was the important and people want to jump right in. 113 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,460 And then what it kind of does is it dies down. 114 00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:24,490 Let's say you can't just jump right in and you don't know exactly what you want in this first section. 115 00:09:24,490 --> 00:09:27,910 I moved on to the Recommendations section. Again, if you click that top link, 116 00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:33,270 it links you right to that subforum for recommendations, and I posted some of the stickies back here as well. 117 00:09:33,270 --> 00:09:38,620 Let's say you come to Fuwanovel and, like I said just a little bit ago, you don't know where you want to go 118 00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:42,200 and you want to get some recommendations. That's the next thing I list here. 119 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,720 "READ BEFORE ASKING" - How to actually recommend, how to get a recommendation, or ask for a recommendation 120 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,160 and then I literally split it into translated and untranslated visual novels. 121 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,110 Kaguya is a very good member to ask on our website about translated visual novels 122 00:09:56,110 --> 00:10:00,920 and he's very knowledgeable on a lot of translated visual novels. He's up-to-date on them. 123 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,900 On the flip side of that, Clephas is the guy you want to go to for untranslated VNs. 124 00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:09,870 Now I'm not saying these guys are the only members who know this stuff, but they do make frequent threads. 125 00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:13,230 As you can see, Kaguya made this "50 translated VNs you should read before you die" 126 00:10:13,230 --> 00:10:17,070 I highly recommend checking this out. It's obviously his own opinion about it, 127 00:10:17,070 --> 00:10:19,500 but there's like a lot of really popular games on here. 128 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:24,540 If you go to VNDB and sort games by popularity, I'm pretty sure Kaguya has it on this list. 129 00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:30,060 So you can find it. And it kind of gives you the summary of it, and what he felt about it, 130 00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:33,210 and so recommends reading it. 131 00:10:33,210 --> 00:10:39,420 His original post did not include console games, like Vita and things like that. 132 00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:46,660 It was just PC games. So he made a second version down here and you can check that out as well. 133 00:10:46,660 --> 00:10:51,180 Clephas's threads have a lot of discussion about untranslated VNs. 134 00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:54,620 He has read some translated VNs, but he's more into the untranslated scene. 135 00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:58,690 He has a "random VN thread". I like to put this thread here because it's something that you can just like... 136 00:10:58,690 --> 00:11:03,060 "Hey, I don't know what I want to read. Maybe I'll just read one of Clephas's suggestions" and boom. 137 00:11:03,060 --> 00:11:05,230 We find out about it and we can read it. 138 00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:11,120 He also does his "VN of the month", which highlights one of his visual novels he played that month, or recently 139 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,580 and what he thought about it. So a lot of people follow this thread as well. Something to keep in mind. 140 00:11:15,580 --> 00:11:20,860 Clephas makes a lot of informative posts on the website about 141 00:11:20,860 --> 00:11:23,880 companies that make visual novels, and what they're all about. 142 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,460 The best nukiges, the best chuuni games, the best.... 143 00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:32,080 Again, if you don't know any of this lingo, it's all located in the lexicon. 144 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,840 So I do recommend checking that out. Just a throwback to that. 145 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,710 But generally speaking, if you ever need any help, try those two guys out. 146 00:11:39,710 --> 00:11:41,980 They're very friendly in this community. Everybody is very friendly. 147 00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:47,440 Use the Private Message system to private message them and they will get back to you. 148 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120 So I recommend that. It's very helpful. 149 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,760 Kind of after the recommendations, let's say you knew what you wanted, 150 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,720 or you got the recommendations, I went into Fan Translation. 151 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,830 Let's say you want to do a little more for the website. 152 00:11:57,830 --> 00:12:01,350 We're really big on fan translation here, something we like to highlight. 153 00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:06,790 So, one of the first things I gave right in the center here is you can click "Fan Translation". It'll lead you right to that site. 154 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:10,670 With the recent changes that Tay was doing to the website, this is something that is new for members. 155 00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:13,620 So, it's posted for that. 156 00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:16,440 (Just going to go check my time here, sorry.) 157 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:23,270 So it is all posted for that, and I recommend checking that out for that reason. 158 00:12:23,270 --> 00:12:25,870 (Sorry, I lost my train of though there.) 159 00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:28,770 Fan translations. So the first thing I put up here is... 160 00:12:28,770 --> 00:12:31,260 Maybe you don't want to read stories. Maybe you want to actually help. 161 00:12:31,260 --> 00:12:32,800 Maybe you want to contribute to Fuwa -- 162 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,650 -- do something for the people that gave you these translated games, or gave you visual novels. 163 00:12:37,650 --> 00:12:40,320 Well, you can go right to the "Fan Translation Skills Registration" page 164 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880 which allows you to register for the site, and people can find you. 165 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,690 I know a lot of new people that start projects -- I don't know if they really use this as much, 166 00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:51,350 But I'm kind of highlighting it here because I think people should use this more, 167 00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:54,210 especially when you're trying to start a project. Most people start projects with their friends, 168 00:12:54,210 --> 00:13:00,430 but let's say they do need an extra translator. They can look in this thread, the "Translation Skills" 169 00:13:00,430 --> 00:13:04,130 and they can find exactly what they're looking for. 170 00:13:04,130 --> 00:13:08,850 (I believe I posted that link wrong, so I need to edit that. Let me double-check that.) 171 00:13:11,510 --> 00:13:17,200 Yeah, I accidentally posted that link wrong, so I'll have to fix that. But anyways, check that out. 172 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,290 Let's say you don't really want to do fan translation, but you want to check the projects that are going on. 173 00:13:22,290 --> 00:13:26,320 Well, here's an "Ongoing Projects" page you can go to, and that links you right to all ongoing projects 174 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,730 and what people are doing, so you can keep track of your favorite games. 175 00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:32,190 I'm actually a big fan of the... 176 00:13:32,190 --> 00:13:34,010 (...where is it?) 177 00:13:35,250 --> 00:13:36,620 Natsu no Last Resort 178 00:13:36,620 --> 00:13:40,410 And I've been following that because I'm a huge Cocoro@Function nerd. 179 00:13:40,410 --> 00:13:42,740 Streamed it with Meph, so I'm big on that. 180 00:13:42,740 --> 00:13:48,340 In addition to that, I thought... you know, we've always talk about language skills, and 181 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:53,150 Fuwanovel is a good place for a lot of people to mesh together that were speaking or learning Japanese 182 00:13:53,150 --> 00:13:55,050 and I want to highlight these threads as well. 183 00:13:55,050 --> 00:14:00,120 "Learning Japanese - Useful resources" is a great place to talk to a lot of people that speak Japanese on the website. 184 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:07,050 I know people like Clephas, Mephisto, zoom909, seventhfonist 185 00:14:07,050 --> 00:14:08,220 All those guys speak Japanese -- 186 00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:11,740 -- Those are the ones I know personally, sorry. I don't know everybody who speaks it. 187 00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:18,510 But there's obviously plenty of more people that speak the language, so check those guys out. 188 00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:22,540 Check out those threads. There's also the Help Thread. Let's say you don't know a sentence. 189 00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:26,130 You're trying to do a more advanced game and there's a philosophical part to it 190 00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:28,470 and you're like "Hey, I just don't know how to translate this," it's a great place. 191 00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:30,570 People are very friendly. They're not going to bash you down. 192 00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:35,730 They're not going to be like... "You suck balls" and "You don't write Japanese" or anything. 193 00:14:35,730 --> 00:14:37,630 They're there to help you, and it's there to -- 194 00:14:37,630 --> 00:14:42,270 Sometimes, their opinions aren't always correct and it's just a matter of discussing language 195 00:14:42,270 --> 00:14:47,010 and you get a different side of things. And the people are very intelligent, so I recommend checking it out. 196 00:14:47,010 --> 00:14:49,060 After the main page... 197 00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:51,960 What I'm going to do here actually first is I'm going to stop this video 198 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,020 and I'm going to make this into a two-parter and we'll go onto Community Involvement next, 199 00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:56,660 so thanks for watching the first part. 200 00:14:56,660 --> 00:15:00,030 Feel free to check out the second part and I'll continue highlighting this thread for the video series. 201 00:15:00,030 --> 00:15:02,030 Alright. I'll be right back. Spotlight Introduction - Part 2 1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:07,080 Hey everybody. It's OriginalRen, back with the second part of the first video in the Community Spotlight video series. 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:14,670 I had ended on talking about Fan Translation and the Ongoing Projects and the Japanese threads for those who wanted it 3 00:00:14,670 --> 00:00:17,530 so I'm just going to jump right back in here and get right back to the post. 4 00:00:17,530 --> 00:00:21,580 The next part of this thread is the Community Involvement, and this is after... 5 00:00:21,580 --> 00:00:24,240 (Excuse me. Sorry.) 6 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:30,910 After all the bulk of the material I started with, which is all the important things I put at the top of the thread, 7 00:00:30,910 --> 00:00:33,930 you'll notice it goes right into Community Involvement. And this is more... 8 00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:39,170 Let's say you're familiar with Fuwanovel and you want to get a little more involved in the community itself. 9 00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:44,510 What we actually use the forums for, which is discussion, friendly chatter, and things like that. 10 00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:52,340 Maybe you're not just looking for working, doing stuff for the site, and getting all the bulk of stuff. 11 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,780 And you'd rather just go with the other main stuff, so I linked a couple threads here. 12 00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:02,750 This one doesn't really have order of importance. It just kind of goes in logical order I thought in my head. 13 00:01:02,750 --> 00:01:04,960 So don't worry about anything like that. 14 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:09,370 The first one I have here is the podcast. As you are aware, for anyone that knows, 15 00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:15,180 I host the podcast here on Fuwa along with the community and we have done quite a lot of episodes. 16 00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:19,990 I recommend checking a lot of the episodes out. If you actually click this main thread here, 17 00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:25,220 it goes right to the main post of everything, and it links you to a Mixcloud account, 18 00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:30,700 tells you all the topic ideas we have going, question ideas, and all the episodes being recorded. 19 00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:36,610 We're finishing up "Hoshizora no Memoria" and that will be complete. Then we still have to do episode 4. 20 00:01:36,610 --> 00:01:41,680 We have a bunch of volunteers and people that want to volunteer. We're going to be posting the new episodes here soon. 21 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,770 I also do the "Get to Know your Community" podcast which is more on an individual level, 22 00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:49,760 as opposed to what I'm doing here which is more showcasing the community stuff we do. 23 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,530 And then the actual -- Tay and me have some chats. 24 00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:58,000 As soon as Tay comes back to the website and I see him again, I would like to another episode. 25 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,390 I have an idea for a third episode for his podcast. So I think a lot of people took a lot of these series with, I think, positive light. 26 00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:15,340 So you have the main podcast here; the Tay and me podcast, with what's Tay up to; and the individual level one. 27 00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:18,980 And I still update these, plan to still do them every week. 28 00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:24,750 If you click any of these links, they actually link to a playlist on my Mixcloud account, which I'll show here real quick. 29 00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:28,310 So I have the Fuwacast here, and then this is the actual "Welcome to the Fuwacast". 30 00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:32,380 There's 3 different playlists you guys can check out. You can click any single one of these buttons 31 00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:36,550 and it will link you to right to the playlist. So if I want the "Welcome to the Fuwacast" which is the main podcast, 32 00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:41,440 they're all listed in order. Episode 1, episode 2, episode 3, 4, -- well 4 is not here, sorry. 33 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:48,720 5, 6, 7; ... 8 will be soon; 9 and 10. And you can click one, and it just goes right to it. 34 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:57,000 And you can just listen to it in the background. Shows our guests what it's all about. So feel free to check that out, it's pretty interesting. 35 00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:06,330 (... yeah. I guess I can get rid of that... and this. Okay.) 36 00:03:06,570 --> 00:03:12,930 So yeah, check that out. If you want to get involved with the podcast, have any suggestions for topics, want to volunteer, check it out. 37 00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:16,940 There's a lot of different things. All the information is in that thread if you need any help 38 00:03:16,940 --> 00:03:20,600 and all updates are posted in that thread as well if you want to get involved with our podcast. 39 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:29,660 We are, if I'm not mistaken, the only visual novel podcast that exists for visual novels. 40 00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:35,060 I know a couple of groups do podcasts. They might talk about visual novels, 41 00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:42,830 but I'm pretty sure we're the only one that devotes it singularly to visual novels, and just making visual novels popular 42 00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:46,250 and all this other -- the broad spectrum as a whole. 43 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:51,440 So check it out. And if you want to promote it and have people come check out it, please do. 44 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,470 This is a product I think we should be proud of, considering that it... 45 00:03:57,470 --> 00:04:04,100 ...sorry, I'm not trying to cheese my way into thinking like this is the greatest thing ever, but I mean it is unique, 46 00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:07,990 and it's very hard to find unique things on the internet these days, especially with this kind of stuff. 47 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:12,520 So be proud of it, you know? This is a good product. I mean, we're not super professional with it, 48 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,960 but I think we have a good product there. 49 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,260 After the podcast, I kind of go into the Visual Novel Discussion, and after that, the Anime/Manga Discussion. 50 00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:29,310 This is kind of the bulk of our site, where we go to these chats for anime and manga, or visual novels and we talk about, well, 51 00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:36,920 anime and visual novels. Or just general discussion about random stuff. 52 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:45,570 So if you want to get involved with the community, I kind of just highlighted some important things in order of importance under each of these sections. 53 00:04:45,570 --> 00:04:50,750 So first, I went right into Visual Novel Discussion as a whole. 54 00:04:50,750 --> 00:04:57,540 You know... You want to talk about, for this case, here's the index that Down had created, and I want to thank him for this. 55 00:04:57,540 --> 00:04:59,290 (Excuse me.) You have all the... 56 00:04:59,290 --> 00:05:02,120 I'm sure this is constantly updated as well. 57 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,400 This has all the index threads of things. So let's say you want to write a review about Steins;Gate 58 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,380 and you're like "what if there's already a thread for Steins;Gate?" 59 00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:17,230 Well, you can search it in the search function, which I'm going to be honest: the search function on this website is pretty crappy 60 00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:20,910 and cannot search for things. But let's say you want to find a thread. 61 00:05:20,910 --> 00:05:25,450 You can go to Down's thread right here that I linked and you can see if there's anything for Steins;Gate. 62 00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:32,080 So I don't really see anything for Steins;Gate. But you know, like, Saya no Uta... There's "analysis and discussion" I can click, there's a review. 63 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,430 I won't stay around in here too long so that I don't spoil anything. 64 00:05:36,430 --> 00:05:44,100 But, you can check that stuff out too. It's a nice little organized place and I'm sure Down updates it occasionally to keep it up to date. 65 00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:47,680 So just something to check out if you ever want to just find a quick thread or something 66 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,260 and jump right into a discussion instead of doing a lot of searching. 67 00:05:51,260 --> 00:05:56,210 In addition, I include "Untranslated VNs discussion". I'd like to thank Nosebleed for the suggestion 68 00:05:56,210 --> 00:05:59,970 as well as the "Android Visual Novel" one that he suggested to me when I was getting feedback for this. 69 00:05:59,970 --> 00:06:05,660 The "Untranslated VNs" is kind of as the name suggests, discussing untranslated games. 70 00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:08,700 Not everybody can read Japanese, and some people want to talk about a game they played 71 00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:13,730 but they don't really want to get into the chat programs or chat lists later here, and they kind of just want to talk about it. 72 00:06:13,730 --> 00:06:22,750 It's a small group because, at least on Fuwanovel, of how many people discuss translated novels -- err, untranslated novels 73 00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:26,090 at least from what I know, so I could be completely wrong about that, so feel free to correct me. 74 00:06:26,090 --> 00:06:30,990 I don't really discuss it very much because I can't read Japanese. But yeah, so check that out as well. 75 00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:35,140 And then they have the "Android Visual Novels". This is all about visual novels on the go. 76 00:06:35,140 --> 00:06:40,950 Let's say you can't really install something on your main computer or your laptop. Do some mobile games. 77 00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:44,900 There's a bunch of different games you can find out on mobile too, so I linked that as well. 78 00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:49,810 But let's say for visual novel discussion, you want to do stuff outside the forums. Maybe you don't always want to chat on the forums. 79 00:06:49,810 --> 00:06:56,920 We have 3 different chat programs. We have the IRC channel, which IRC is a program used to chat. 80 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,670 If you actually click this thread, it will tell you how to download a program that is usable with it and how it all works. 81 00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:08,110 I'm not going to go into that in this video. But basically from what I know, the Fuwanovel one is dead. 82 00:07:08,110 --> 00:07:14,800 Not a lot of people talk in it anymore, but feel free to enter in there, and try to bring some friends in and have a discussion in there. 83 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:21,960 There are people that are still in there, and I'm sure if they saw some activity going on, they'd be inclined to come visit. 84 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:30,030 In addition to that, we also have the -- I now host a new TeamSpeak. Feel free to check out this TeamSpeak. 85 00:07:30,030 --> 00:07:35,760 We just chat about visual novels and everything. You can do text chat if you want, if you're uncomfortable speaking. 86 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,690 Every channel is voiced if you want to speak on a mic, you don't need to. We talk about random topics. 87 00:07:40,690 --> 00:07:46,870 Just recently, we talked about if it's possible to... 88 00:07:46,870 --> 00:07:51,820 If it's possible to have sex with data, as like a character, like pixels. 89 00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:56,750 Not like the 2D sense, more like if something is a computer or robot, is it possible? 90 00:07:56,750 --> 00:08:02,550 And that's pretty much what we discuss. And we have 2-hour discussions about it, and it's fun -- it's a lot of fun. 91 00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:07,620 So I recommend checking it out. All the info is in here if you need help actually downloading it. 92 00:08:07,620 --> 00:08:10,180 In addition, there's another TS that's used on the site. 93 00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:19,050 Steve is another guy that hosts a TS. His is, generally speaking, chat-only. He doesn't have a lot of voice channels in there. 94 00:08:19,050 --> 00:08:22,490 I'm not sure if his voice channels still remain. I no longer frequent that one. 95 00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:28,320 But I know he has a lot of chat programs, and they kind of talk -- his discussion is more about lolis. 96 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:36,290 He's big on that, so if you really like talking about lolis, sharing pictures and stuff like that, feel free to check out his TS. 97 00:08:36,290 --> 00:08:42,200 Obviously, they do talk about other things. It's just lolis is kind of the main thread point. So check it out. 98 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:51,320 He has one. All his information is here if you click, and anything you need to know on how to join, and you can see his main post here. 99 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,840 If you don't like lolis, don't bother joining. (Hehe.) 100 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,260 So, it's just kind of that stuff. So feel free to check out his TS as well. 101 00:08:59,260 --> 00:09:03,180 They're both, you know, it's not a competition between the two. They're just both friendly TS's, so feel free to join them. 102 00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:08,640 Any way you want to chat things about. So yeah, those are some of the chat programs we use. 103 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:13,700 In addition to that, we go right into the Anime/Manga Discussion. Kind of just make this one quick. 104 00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:17,600 Just 2 main threads. Again, thanks to Nosebleed for the suggestions. 105 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,400 "What Anime are you reading now?" and "What manga are you currently reading?" 106 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,680 Pretty self-explanatory. I don't even really need to go into those. It's just... what do you enjoy? You can discuss it there. 107 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,730 You can even start your own thread if you want to talk about it individually. 108 00:09:29,730 --> 00:09:34,130 Feel free to do that in those sections. It's what those sections are there for. 109 00:09:34,130 --> 00:09:40,300 And last but not least, I kind of go into the Fuwanovel Groups & Activities. And this last one here... 110 00:09:40,300 --> 00:09:45,700 Maybe at the end of the day, like I said my little text here, you just want to hang out and have fun. 111 00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:51,410 There's a lot of different groups and leagues we have around the community, and all these link to a specific one as labeled here 112 00:09:51,410 --> 00:09:55,330 as well as some fun games that we do in the Games and Chatter section 113 00:09:55,330 --> 00:10:04,080 like "True or False? You like pizza." And then the person after would be like "False. I hate pizza! The next person likes apples." 114 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,640 Or, you know, it could be anything about anything. "Would you rather...?", "What's the avatar above your thinking?" 115 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,490 Just fun games you can do around the community. 116 00:10:10,490 --> 00:10:18,260 I won't really go into all these because then I feel like I'm kind of making a Community Spotlight video for 20 different things on the website 117 00:10:18,260 --> 00:10:22,880 and I want to save those if I'm going to make a spotlight video, 118 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:29,280 because they're 5 minute spiels and this one's obviously longer, just for this thread and preview. 119 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:34,430 But I don't really want to go into full detail about them, so check out those threads and look at them yourself. 120 00:10:34,430 --> 00:10:39,420 Some of these threads are dead. Not a lot of people frequent them anymore. Don't worry. 121 00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:45,600 If you want to get the group interested again, I said if a thread has been dead for some time... revive it. 122 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,220 I keep these here because people might be interested in them. Let's say you're a huge Magic: The Gathering fan and you want to get people back into it. 123 00:10:51,220 --> 00:10:55,990 Use that thread. Push people back into it, you know? Bring it back to life, and get people to talk about it again. 124 00:10:55,990 --> 00:11:01,120 There's always people out in the community that are always looking for this kind of stuff, so feel free to do it. 125 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,620 And yeah. At the end here, I'm just going to say good luck on getting to the forums. 126 00:11:04,620 --> 00:11:08,240 So that's pretty much everything I really wanted to do for my first highlight video, 127 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,370 so I'll kind of wrap up this video here quick so I'm not spending too much time on it. 128 00:11:11,370 --> 00:11:19,140 But it's just kind of, I highlight things around the community. This kind of highlighted a few things about the website, and some of the members, 129 00:11:19,140 --> 00:11:23,640 so if I forgot your name, I do apologize. I'm not trying to take any offense or anything. 130 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,220 But, thanks guys for watching. This is kind of what I hope to do for a lot of other spotlights. 131 00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:33,840 I'll do threads around the community, activities that are very popular, and just kind of discuss them. 132 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,630 They might be 5 minutes, they might be 20 minutes. It just depends on what the thread's about, and what it all entails. 133 00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:42,530 This is kind of to showcase "Hey, check this out." 134 00:11:42,530 --> 00:11:48,050 They're not episodic, any of these episodes, so I'm not going into like full "Episode 2", "Episode 3". 135 00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:52,430 It's just going to be Community Spotlight video and what it's highlighting. 136 00:11:52,430 --> 00:11:56,190 And if you want to check it out, you can. There's going to be random uploads that I do to my YouTube account. 137 00:11:56,190 --> 00:12:02,690 So with that, guys... thanks for coming. I appreciate it. And I will catch you around on the forums. See ya. Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,950 Hey everybody, OriginalRen here from the forums. Today, I am doing a Community Spotlight video series 2 00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:08,680 and I'm going to be highlighting in the Fan Translation / Ongoing Projects section 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,500 the Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort Project. 4 00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:16,630 mdz, a member of our forum is the main man behind this translation project. 5 00:00:16,630 --> 00:00:22,170 I just kind of wanted to go through some of the things you can check out for it and what you can expect. 6 00:00:22,170 --> 00:00:29,520 I wanted to highlight this because he's doing great at this. The progress of this is being updated every week in this actual thread right here. 7 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,830 And also just the speed at which it's being done is incredible to me. 8 00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:38,820 I also wanted to this one because I'm a huge Cocoro@Function fanboy. Huge nerd. 9 00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:43,950 As you can tell, me and Mephisto are currently working on Asagao's route for live translation on my YouTube channel. 10 00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:51,970 But, this was the man behind Mina's route. Asagao-- Mina-san. And she... 11 00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:57,040 Well, I don't know. I never actually went down her route, so I don't really know what her story is like, but I hear it's quite interesting. 12 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,290 So, we'll jump right in here. Let's kind of give you a lowdown of the project. 13 00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:03,950 So currently in this thread is the Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort Project Thread. 14 00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:09,840 This has all the details you possibly need for information about the project. 15 00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:17,250 If you actually click this banner here, we can go to his main site, which I'll do in a little bit. But I just want to give a summary of his main post here. 16 00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:21,130 You have all these different girls. This game was made by Pulltop, by the way, for those who were unaware. 17 00:01:21,130 --> 00:01:27,780 Pulltop was responsible for "If My Heart Had Wings", "Cocoro@Function", and this one here, which 18 00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:30,190 I plan to get this when I go to Japan. I can't wait. 19 00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:42,400 But, here are all the characters and it kind of gives you a synopsis, and kind of a trailer behind it, and a preview of the translation for how they're doing it. 20 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,410 Anything you constantly need. Do you have a... contact info that you can a hold of him by checking him on the site, his email. 21 00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:52,070 I know I have contacted him personally. I was actually interested in helping out in an editing position in this, 22 00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:58,560 but just due to my own projects and everything else I was working with, I just did not have time. 23 00:01:58,620 --> 00:02:04,940 He is a very responsive person. Will respond right back to you usually right away. So if you have any questions about the project, feel free to. 24 00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:10,970 He also has an IRC. I haven't check out his IRC. But yeah, that's pretty much it. 25 00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:19,390 I know actually -- one of the project people who's the engineer for this project, binaryfail, helped me with commenting on the subtitles for the podcast recently 26 00:02:19,390 --> 00:02:24,470 and he found a way to do that, and I might actually have to ask him for information about that as well. 27 00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:33,770 But anyways, why don't we check out this main project by clicking his site here and going to his main page, mdz's main page, 28 00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:39,970 and I'll kind of just give you a little spotlight for it. I recommend checking out this project. I recommend playing this game. 29 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,310 Just based on the synopsis alone and the beauty of these images -- I really like Pulltop's artwork by the way -- 30 00:02:46,310 --> 00:02:48,720 I would recommend it, but maybe this might not be for you. 31 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,470 So when we get into the main page here, it kind of just has his main page for his translations 32 00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:58,920 and he has the Cocoro@Function translation, which he was doing, and then Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort. 33 00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:03,030 And it takes a little bit for the images to load, but it comes up with everything here. 34 00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:07,780 Kind of talks about who the progress, err sorry -- who the staff is on the project right now. 35 00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:15,260 We have mdz, binaryfail (which I was mentioning), JeMhUnTeR is their image editor, ZeroReq and CrouchingMoose are their editors. 36 00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:19,540 If you need to see a live updated progress chart, you can click right here for their project. 37 00:03:19,540 --> 00:03:26,880 This site is very... I like this. It's a simple site. It's very pretty. He talks about recruitment and how to get any position. 38 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:34,430 Speaking of which, recruitment-wise, (all down here you can get to your attachments), but mdz is always looking for people for his project, from what I've heard. 39 00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:41,170 Even if they have all these positions filled, I'm sure he could use the extra help or you can inquire to him about those questions 40 00:03:41,170 --> 00:03:47,470 based on what I've seen him written in our personal emails -- err, exchange of emails -- and in the actual thread. 41 00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:53,510 So you have a summary here, and then you can click this little live-updated progress chart to go right to it. 42 00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:58,250 And that links you literally to a Google Doc that gives you everything you need to know. 43 00:03:58,250 --> 00:04:02,810 So the percentages of what they're doing, how they're working, 44 00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:10,910 As you can see, they're still recruiting for translators, a translation checker. They don't have one, so they are looking for a translation checker. 45 00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:16,370 I recommend doing that if you guys are good at translations. Hey, jump in on that because he could definitely use the help. 46 00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:25,510 Seems like they're... That's one of their priorities. But obviously, most projects still recruiting translators and everything else that they possibly need. 47 00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:29,740 Looks like Zakamutt is in this project. I didn't even know that. Interesting. 48 00:04:29,740 --> 00:04:37,510 Yeah, so you have all these little progress updates of what you need to know, and everything about the project. Sweet! 49 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:45,270 So you can go to that, and if I go back to his main page here and check some of the other stuff, you can see also on his site 50 00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:48,740 just mdz -- as a person himself -- he has a Twitter. 51 00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:51,770 (I don't have a Twitter account. I just don't ever get into Twitter.) 52 00:04:51,770 --> 00:04:57,410 But he has a Twitter which all live-tweets all the updates every week, or when the progress happens. 53 00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:06,230 But this was just replied about 8 hours ago, so you can see all the current translation progress and the current percentage of how far they are. 54 00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:14,140 And you can find anything else you need to, about the project in general, on his Twitter page if you follow that. 55 00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:21,160 In addition, back at the main site here, we have who mdz is all about, and what this website is all about. 56 00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:22,010 (excuse me.) 57 00:05:22,010 --> 00:05:32,710 So if you click the About page here, it talks about the staff for the website. Who mdz is... InfiniteDestiny helps him out... I can't even say that. 58 00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:37,410 Yeah, so talk about his project too. In addition, mdz also does reviews 59 00:05:37,410 --> 00:05:40,990 and I didn't even know he had a Cocoro@Function review until I checked out this site. 60 00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:45,980 But I should probably read that sometime. Apparently, he's in love with Mina, but I haven't played her route yet. 61 00:05:45,980 --> 00:05:51,420 He also has reviews he does for visual novels and anime. So if you actually click this, it's very well-organized. I was checking this out. 62 00:05:51,420 --> 00:05:57,270 You can just click any visual novel here that he's read and he kind of goes into details about them. 63 00:05:57,270 --> 00:06:03,690 So, I can be like, oh, Cocoro@Function. And click it, and he's like "Mina is Best Girl." 64 00:06:03,690 --> 00:06:09,870 And I'll have to -- I've read it. It's interesting. Nobody likes Hijiri, apparently. I don't understand. 65 00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:13,450 I didn't think she was THAT terrible. But I guess... whatever. 66 00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:17,580 I mean, she did have 6 H-scenes. Or was it 5? I don't remember what it was. It was a lot. 67 00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:25,490 But... So yeah. Anything you need to know about the project can be found on here, and anything else he does translation-wise. 68 00:06:25,490 --> 00:06:27,190 You can click both of his projects. 69 00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:33,920 He's a really cool guy. I haven't really gotten too much time to talk to him, but in the emails we exchanged, just small exchanges, he's really friendly. 70 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,480 He replies to your emails, and all the information you need will be posted on the thread page. 71 00:06:40,870 --> 00:06:43,770 Yeah, that's about it. What do we got on time here?... 72 00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:47,210 Yeah, it's just about a 7 minute video just highlighting his project. You guys should check it out. 73 00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:52,400 They're looking for a translation checker right now. I definitely recommend that. This is a good project and I'm... 74 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,600 Personally, I did this one first just because I'm really looking forward to it. 75 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:03,200 So, that's it guys. Thanks for coming. Thanks for watching the review... and I'll catch you later. Bye. update for 8/27/2014: various fixes for Introduction, and new subtitles KoiRizo's spotlight.
