LinovaA Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Aww why not? D: Although, the translation for Cross+Channel is not particularly great to begin with so it makes sense why the story's niche to a such a degree. Problem is, the current translation strays too far away from the original meaning of the text in almost every single line, which in turn means that what would appear as the original story instead appears as a completely new story but written in English (and TL notes, a sign of misunderstood translation). x.x It's generally regarded as a masterpiece (and I agree wholeheartedly), but of course everyone has their own preferences to keep in check as well. Not very many people like Taichi's character, or the concept portrayed amongst the themes of the story. Confession: I've fully read Subarashiki Hibi 7 times (4 times consecutively). It is just that good, guys (maybe). (*‿*✿) Ayana 1 Quote

Don't really want to cut that out. xD I recall Eclisped felt this way with Kotori a while back~ @CWH, this is my first time seeing a post under your name that I recall. Sorry if I forgot or anything. Sometimes it can be hard to break into a community, especially if you bear ill feelings towards it on behalf of its disregard for you (whether they actually were disregarding you or were not). I hope that the former isnt the case, but it really depends on who you're talking to and the things you say to them. Some places are more friendly than others, even within a forum imo. Anyway, sorry to say all this mostly useless stuff when you probs just wanted to vent or whatever. I hope you find your niche soon because niches are wonderful places to be. Alternative: spam hard. Then they'll have to notice you Quote

Eclipsed Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 My confessions: -I don't like this site as much as I used to. -I get ignored A-LOT here, and I try not to let it bother me but it bums me out a lot and makes me afraid to come back and post again at all :/ -I'm usually too afraid to make posts because I'm afraid of the responses or lack thereof. -I can draw anime styled drawings really well, but people judge and look down on me when I tell them, so I don't.

Abyssal Monkey Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Here's mine. Completely forgot that Aaeru commented on it xD Also, my first double post <3 That's not really a confession, though, Eclipsed -_- Confession: I really should be doing my math homework right now, but God, I loathe mixture problems. If I had a textbook, I'd have the urge to throw it out the window right now. Mixture problems, is that anything like the incredibly simple equilibrium problems in chemistry? Confession: Math is my strong point so I don't understand why anyone has trouble with it. Quote
Ayana Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 So basically... I should read Cross+Channel again in Japanese? Sounds like a good plan. I enjoyed it in English anyway and would gladly read it again. Confession: It seriously took me 2.5 weeks to get to the end of ONE route in AkaGoei. I was consistently playing too. My JP reading speed is super super slow. I am aiming to be done by Wednesday though. Hopefully. . . Maybe. I do not recommend going into C+C in Japanese right away since this is Romeo Tanaka we're talking about here. He writes pure insanity and it comes off as extremely 'roundabout' and "hardcore" for anyone not already very used to the language. Basically, to compare it to something.. his writing is like JP Wikipedia but 2 times as densely written and then add in some of the most obscure kanji puns, references, and jokes (oh god the jokes are WTF-worthy) and you got this guy's writing pretty much. This is also why the translation failed to do its job.. yeah. I'm saying all of this because I'm trying (failing miserably) to read his LN, Jintai (Humanity Has Declined for anyone who remembers the name), and it's actually only recommended to college-level JP students because of how inherently difficult to read it can be. Anything Romeo writes is going to be one of those "final challenges" like Dies Irae/Asairo/Oretsuba/etc. are regarded as. Though like I've said somewhere before (don't remember where), it's not so much "difficult" as it is more time-consuming and requires more patience/effort/motivation. And, as I've also said, reading is a two-step process where you first read what's written (the content), and then apply that content to your principles of understanding. If you take too long to read a single line then the meaning of it mentally fades away and you have only "50%"/incompletely read it. Not sure if this helps anyone but at least knowing this all keeps me from being discouraged to suddenly dive into anything I'd otherwise be too scared of. If your mind is in a heightened state and those three things (patience/effort/motivation) are perfectly aligned then properly reading anything in any level of JP is entirely possible (if not plain easy). I mean, you could suddenly read C+C and find that everything people say about it being "difficult" or whatnot to seem over-exaggerated from your point of view. It's mainly a thing of circumstance, I feel. Uhh ok obligatory on-topic confession thingy. I like my toast burnt and it's unhealthy. (don't ask I'm currently trying to break bad habits) (・_・ヾ Quote

Only time I saw you was when you posted at the HDN thread. <3 How many hours until prom? Confession: I'm actually incredibly bored. I want to read something, but I'm hungry, so I want to eat first, but I'm so indecisive so I don't know what to make. Quote
Kosakyun Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 ドキドキですか～ W-What Pop some pills, that'll make everything better Try some breathing exercises, that always calms me down. Picturing my heart as a rock in my chest also tends to lower my heart rate, strangely. Nah. I don't think I need any pills. I just want to lie down on my bed and sleep through the entire day. How many hours until prom? It was already done like 13 hours ago haha. Confession: So I was such a faggot last night, and I couldn't speak properly in front of her. I still tried though. The problem is that for every word I said, her reply seems to strike me down. Like, she's telling me that it's futile or something. Of course, that's quite disheartening. Like, ugh. Holy shit. My chest seems to tighten up whenever I remember the feeling. So she told me that a lot of things will be happening in college, and that I'll eventually forget about her. I laughed at that. So I told her, "March 15, right? Okay then. Next year, on March 15, I'm gonna go to your university and show to you you're wrong. I'm also gonna ask you out." She replied, "Sure. You'll go there and thank me because I was right." It hurts. Kinda. I just. I can't explain it. I... don't even know what I'm feeling now. Also, she told me through chat that she wanted to talk to me tomorrow. I have a huge feeling I'm gonna be shot down. She told me that she'll keep it 'short' to not waste a lot of my time. I'd talk to her for two straight hours, really. Even if it's all awkward shit and stuff. Ah god. I like her so much. Also, I danced her. It felt great. I want to hug her. So I'll hug her 12 days from now, on our graduation ball, after we dance. Gonna make her my first and last dance. It will also be the dance that'll commemorate either my success or failure. So there you have it. I feel like a fucking protagonist right now. I hope she's my main heroine. You know what I'm scared of? I'm scared that somebody will beat me to her in this one year. Of course, that's not all guaranteed. Even that single year. For it might already end tomorrow. Ah. I just want to sleep through the day. Flutterz and rainsismyfav 2 Quote

Abyssal Monkey Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Same, it's just I don't function very well without my meds, so I just deal with the side effects. I flat-out refuse to take Benadryl unless I have a serious allergic reaction because of how shitty it makes me feel. What ADHD meds were you taking, by the way? I take Adderall, and it's really not all that bad. It's my depression medication, Cymbalta, that's really fucking me over. The side effect isn't bad enough that I have to switch or I'll have health problems, it's just...uncomfortable and embarrassing. I don't really want to elaborate... What really pissed me off is that in high school, I heard some female classmates talking about how they were taking Adderall to lose weight. I mean, what the hell. I never talked to them again after that, no joke. I take Vivanse, when I was little and tried taking adderall, I lost all my appetite and wouldn't eat, so I was losing weight when I was already on the lower end of the expected healthy weight height ratio. I think I also took zoloft as a depressant for the tics I had. My parents didn't know what to do about the shirt collars that kept getting shredded. In highschool, one of the guys in my class had to take adderall for something, I can't remember what it was, but it made him incredibly hyper and his eyes were dilated. That was entertaining for a day. Quote
