Zodai Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 when living in a world made of shit, forced to eat shit at breakfast, forced to eat shit at lunch and forced to eat shit at dinner, then you shouldn´t wonder if you wake up at night craving for a big load of shit ...What anime is this .gif from?

Nosebleed Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 ...What anime is this .gif from?It's from Madoka Magica~Well it could be worse. Maybe...I wonder.. Quote
Silvz Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Well it could be worse. Maybe... Maybe if it was Moenovel instead of Sekai Project? I mean, we wouldn't even get the boobs. Zalor and krill 2 Quote
TexasDice Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I don't even remember the translation quality of Sakura Spirit. All those "lampshaded" tropes and pop-culture references distracted me. ... Is it even japanese? I honestly don't know. Quote
Zodai Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 It's from Madoka Magica~ Thanks. I'd started it but I haven't finished it. Guess I should've anticipated that. Aside from that, I understand that Sekai needs the money and all, as they're still one of the more important translation companies around, but I do hope they up the quality on their original stuff sometimes. Maybe once the translation need dies down they'll start working on it... Quote
Diamon Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure Winged Cloud and Sekai Project are quite independant. I think it was stated from Sekai project when Sakura spirit came out. Quote

Well, they certainly seem to have some form of a link. Thought Sekai might've just published it though I didn't remember the "developer's" name. Quote
Diamon Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Developers are called Clouded Wings if I remember well. They are kinda "shadow developers" Quote
Zodai Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Developers are called Clouded Wings if I remember well. They are kinda "shadow developers" ...This sounds much too badass for lowly fiends such as themselves. Elaborate. Quote
Diamon Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I don't know much, and not sure if my info is reliable. Actually, here is the thread in question. It was made at the time when Sakura Spirit was released. You can check the replies of people that came in contact with Winged Clouds; it's quite astonishing. (Check the reply of the user called "Raithfyre"). Edit : Actually, you can also see someone from Sekai Project defend himself from being responsible for anything concerning Sakura Spirit XD Zalor 1 Quote
XReaper Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 dunno, but i honestly believe that 2/3 of their games are wasted money. cant understand the hype about sekai across the web., cause on one hand they publish games which will definitely sell, like grisaia, clannad etc. (although mostly founded through kickstarters) and on the other hand they torture us readers with the worst crap ever read like sakura spirit or all age nukiges like nekopara (which is a contradiction in itself). tell me whatever you want, but with the first 2 titles named above they already have their income for the next years secured, cause they WILL sell, no matter what. therefore if they wanted they would have the possibilties to try out publishing few high quality none mainstream vns too, but i´m sure this will stay wishful thinking. krill 1 Quote

It just reads like a translated game because the writers for Winged Cloud are dodgy. Suzu Fanatic 1 Quote

I'm pretty sure the "translation" team and "developers" team are two different branches / entities at Sekai project. And I'm pretty sure that those two branches are working on their own thing, as the leaders of each group are different people. I'm not even sure if money they get through the selling of the games they developed themselves go to the company itself that is Sekai Project, or if it goes to individuals that worked on it as a whole (as a result, there would be no real "funds" generated by the sales). Also, I'm no sure how their agreements with the japanese companies work, but Sekai project is definitely giving a lot of the money they get through the sales to them. They are only translator and distributors in this case after all, not creators. Quote
XReaper Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 na what i meant above was simply that they shouldnt play 100% on the save sit, you know. although they´re pretty young company, the managed somehow to accomplish 2 mayor deals like grisaia & clannad and therefore it would be pretty cool if they would risk something more non mainstream like. AND it doesnt matter to me who or which or whatever group, developer etc was in the end responsible for sakura spirit, THEY publish it and THAT crappy game earns them money and it buggs me that on one hand they say stuff like hiring best translators etc for games like grisaia and on the other hand its totally ok for them selling some crap along. you know in some way or another your products represent your company Quote
TexasDice Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 No, it's an OELVN. It just reads like a translated game because the writers for Winged Cloud are dodgy. I just knew something was fishy from the get go. Clever girls. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 In that reddit thread Diamon linked to, Dovac implied published OELVNs would undergo a more rigorous quality checking procedure in the future. Checking the screenshots for this game I either remember Sakura Spirit having better writing than it did, or that statement was a big fat lie. Because I can't see much difference in the quality of writing going from Sakura Spirit to Sakura Angels. Diamon, sarayne and Suzu Fanatic 3 Quote
Vokoca Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 From the creators of Sakura Spirit... comes a brand-new angelic love comedy! Goodbye, OELVNs. Zalor, Silvz and sarayne 3 Quote
Beatrice Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 At least Higurashi will be released soon, with glorious art and translation. Not to worry. Quote
mattroks101 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Goddamnit, really these people are releasing another game? This one had better read like actually human beings wrote it and not aliens from a different planet. That's all I ask. Quote

LinovaA Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Please no... my virgin poor eyes cannot handle another abysmally written monstrosity like this. o-o Quote
Satsuki Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 So, anyone feel like burning some dollars and get this game for reviewing purpose? Quote
