SHUFFLE! is an ero-game that was released on January 30, 2004. The pre-sales hype was mainly because of that this game was done by the new softhouse Navel, which consisted of staff members who broke off from BasiL, which included two famous illustrators - Suzuhira Hiro and Nishimata Aoi. However, one risky move that they did was that they sold their first game on the same date that Fate stay/night went on sale. As the otaku world was in the hype of getting their hands on the limited first edition press of Fate stay/night on 2004/1/30, many thought that SHUFFLE! will be shoved into obscurity. To much surprise, the game sold pretty well. While of course it was no match for the sales of Fate stay/night, many otakus were buying their pre-ordered Fate with SHUFFLE! together. Seeing that the majority of the members were from the staff that did BasiL's big hit Sore wa Maichiru Sakura no Youni, the game itself was interesting as well. It incorporated a what-if world in which angels, devils, and humans co-exist in a modern world in a way that appeals to moe otakus. Add that to the cute girls drawn beautifully by the talented illustrator duos Nishimata Aoi and Suzuhira Hiro, it was a matter of time that otakus started to notice this game. The game is centered upon you - Tsuchimi Rin, and five other girls. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...lisianthus.jpg Lisianthus is the daughter of the king of gods. She came to this world as a fiancee of Rin. Since her name is quite long, she prefers to be called Sia. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...con_nerine.jpg Nerine is the daughter of the king of devils. She also came to this world as a fiancee of Rin. Her nickname also happens to be "Lin" (spelling intentionally altered to differentiate from Rin.) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...icon_kaede.jpg Kaede Fuyou is Rin's osana-najimi (childhood friend). Currently she and Rin lives in the same house. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...0/icon_asa.jpg Shigure Asa is a third-year student above Rin. She is the head of the cooking club at school. A "bokukko" (a girl who refers to herself as "boku"), while at the same time shows that she really is a cute girl. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...on_primula.jpg Primula is a mysterious girl who only shows her true feelings to Rin. Her nickname is "Lim" (edit thanks to evil_samurai - will not write until explained in the anime) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...kingofgods.jpg Eustoma is the king of gods, father to Sia. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...ngofdevils.jpg Forbesii is the king of devils, father to Nerine. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...con_itsuki.jpg Midoriha Itsuki is Rin's friend. Smart, lecherous, and an endless girl hunter. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...con_kareha.jpg Kareha is a shinzoku (god race) and a friend to Asa-senpai. She seems to have a quite a huge imagination. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...con_mayumi.jpg Mayumi=Thyme is a happa between a human and a devil (hence her distinctive heterochromia iridis). She is the classmate and friends with Rin, Kaede, Sia, and Nerine. While the last two girls were not heroines in the original game, the PS2 version SHUFFLE! ON THE STAGE slated for release on October 20, 2005 will have Kareha senpai and Mayumi=Thyme as heroines. Following the ero-game release, the manga serialization began on Comptiq magazine with the title SHUFLE! -DAYS IN THE BLOOM-. On July 7, 2005, SHUFFLE! began its anime series on WOWOW, directed by Hosoda Naoto.

It also contains Froth-Bite's translation notes. __________________________________________________ a03 2005-08-19, 21:38 i was just wondering if we have any source that says how many ep does shuffle have..? according to Froth-Bite they said 24... but not sure if its reliable.... anidb says 0 and so does animenfo __________________________________________________ Diaphanus 2005-08-20, 12:15 More etymology: "Forbesii" is a Neo-Latin name that means "of Forbesius," where "Forbesius" is a Latinization of the name "Forbes." Botanical Latin is pretty strict about Latinizing names that aren't in a Latinized form. When a non-Latinized name ends in a consonant (except "r" before" "e"), you add "-ii" at the end of the name to make it mean "of [whatever name]." The name "Anderson" would become "Andersonii" ("of Anderson"). (But my last name, "Miller," usually becomes "Milleri.") That Shuffle Froth-Bite entry seems to be saying that "Primula" comes from "Middle Latin word prima rosa or first rose," but prima rosa is a phrase. :) Moreover, although I definitely agree that prima is related to primula, I would say that "Primrose," not Primula, came from prima rosa. There is already a Latin word primula. It is the feminine form of primulus, and they both mean "first and small." Both words can be used as nouns to mean "first and small thing." Primula veris, meaning "small and little thing of spring," was used in Middle Latin to refer to the Cowslip and the Field Daisy. Linnaeus used the scientific name Primula veris, and assigned the Cowslip, the true Oxlip, and the Primrose as subspecies. However, later scientists assigned those three as different species within the Primula genus. "Lisianthus" comes from Greek λύσις (lusis, meaning "a loosing," "a parting," "dissolution") and άνθος (anthos, meaning "flower"). Usually, "Lisianthus" is a masculine name, but it can become feminine if used to refer to a female person. Its plural is "Lisianthi." :) "Lycoris" was the name of a mistress of the Roman writer Gaius Cornelius Gallus. Later, she became a mistress of Mark Antony. "Nerine" is a form of "Nereis," a Nereid from classical mythology. __________________________________________________ sinistral 2005-08-20, 14:13 This thread is much needed.

SHUFFLE! Airs on TV in Japan at Friday 12:30AM on the Station "WOWOW" SHUFFLE! Will be running for 24 episodes source: AnimeDB (http://anidb.info/perl-bin/animedb.p...anime&aid=2844) __________________________________________________ Last_Hope 2005-08-21, 10:38 I have a spelling question for KKK Kaede-chan´s fanclub. Is it Kito or Kitto? :heh: 24 episodes? So it is confirmed? Edit// How old are the characters? __________________________________________________ Tabris 2005-08-21, 17:40 I believe they're 17. Don't ask me where I got it from, I'm sure I heard it somewhere, or I just want them to be 17. *shrugs* __________________________________________________ Tsukiyo 2005-08-21, 18:27 @Last_Hope-san Kitto Kitto Kaede-chan 24 eps is what I saw in the official forums at Navel (original game producers). The people at 2ch also believe so. age: Spoiler tags just in case. In the game all the people have to be over 18 for some reasons concerning ethics. In reality, since Asa, Kareha are seniors (in 12th grade), they should be 17-18. Kaede, Sia, Nerine , Mayumi, Rin are one year younger. Primula was just another year younger I think. I'm too lazy to think about birthdays etc. Sorry ^^ Made a chart of how character's call each other. http://tsukiyo.mpage.jp/shuffle_char...me_calling.htm This is not the final edition. Some will change later on. (Some are slightly diffrent from the game.) __________________________________________________ Tsukiyo 2005-08-21, 18:47 FAQ from http://w2.makko.biz/~description/shuffle/ I'll start TLing these if it is okay... Q: Why "Shuffle"? A: Because heroines from many worlds are intermixed and gather around Rin. Q: Is this story based on something? A: An H-Game released in January 2004 by navel is the original. There is also a comic series and a novel series based on it. Q: Are the books and comics also H? A: They do not have H scenes. Q: Who designed the characters? A: Nishimata Aoi did Lisianthus, Kaede, Primula and Mayumi. Suzuhira Hiro did Nerine, Asa, Kareha, Nadesico, and the male characters. Q: Are the voice actors the same people as the game? A: Yes, except Rin who had no voice. However they are using different names. Q: How many episodes? A: 24. __________________________________________________ Morisato 2005-08-23, 03:16 I have a spelling question for KKK Kaede-chan´s fanclub. Is it Kito or Kitto? :heh: 24 episodes? So it is confirmed? Edit// How old are the characters? 16, green and blonde are 17, silver cat doll is 12. Old guys are in their 50's, green hair's mother is in late 20 (teenage pregnancy). __________________________________________________ xris 2005-08-23, 10:32 16, green and blonde are 17, silver cat doll is 12. Old guys are in their 50's, green hair's mother is in late 20 (teenage pregnancy). Where did this info come from? Do you have a reference or is it just your opinion of their ages? And please.... let's avoid those kind of "what does KKK mean" jokes. __________________________________________________ PGilis 2005-08-23, 11:49 16, green and blonde are 17, silver cat doll is 12. Old guys are in their 50's, green hair's mother is in late 20 (teenage pregnancy). Actually, as far i can tell, ... ... Rin, Nerine, Sia, Mayumi and Itsuki are all 2nd-grade highschoolers, so that makes them 17 y.o. Asa and Kahera are 3rd-grade highschoolers and their "sempai", so that makes them 18 y.o. Primula just looks a 12 y.o. girl. You see, she is... ... an experiment between gods and devils, and the 3rd artificial being produced. And for some reason, all them have some age or aging disorder (call defective). The first being produced was Ama-san. She acts and looks younger than she really is. The second being produced was Licoris. She was aging very fast. The third being produced was Primula. She looks to be aging at a slow pace. All in all. Primula can look to be 12, but actually she is 16, just one year younger than Rin and the others. The 1st best proof of this is, during the 6th episode, in her memories when Nerine(?) gave her the cat doll, she didn't look to be much older than her. the 2nd proof is... In the game, and probably later in the TV serie, Primula will join at Rin's school as a 1st-grade/freshman highschooler. She couldn't to make that if she was younger than 16. __________________________________________________ sinistral 2005-08-24, 12:35 @PGilis : Who is this Licoris? Care to explain? Or she doesn't appear in the game at all? __________________________________________________ NeoIllusions 2005-08-24, 13:35 @PGilis : Who is this Licoris? Care to explain? Or she doesn't appear in the game at all? Lycoris is the second attempt by the Gods and Demons to create the strongest magical vessel. She is essentially a clone of Nerine but with a far shorter life span. Right before she passed away Lycoris was fused with Nerine. The "Nerine" that chibi Rin met with at the park eight years ago was actually Lyconis. Nerine inherited Lyconis's memories, including that of Rin, when they fused. In the OP, you can see two chibi blue-headed girls holding hands. That would be Lyconis and Nerine. This was restating what I remembered from what other people posted in other threads, primarily that 58 page mega thread. If I stated something incorrectly, feel free to correct me. __________________________________________________ PGilis 2005-08-24, 14:50 Lycoris is the second attempt by the Gods and Demons to create the strongest magical vessel.

That's pretty accurated. Thanks for answer for me. :D In the game, that's the scenario i liked the most. It caused to Nerine pretty ANGST moments, because basically, she didn't fell in love for Rin by herself. Was someone else's memories taunting her. And not only that. Her scenario was very important to Primula's and even Asa's scenarios too. No wonder she was the chosen to make a sequel, namely: Tick Tack! ;) __________________________________________________ NeoIllusions 2005-08-24, 15:07 That's pretty accurated.

And btw, did you play the game before? __________________________________________________ kj1980 2005-08-24, 15:18 16, green and blonde are 17, silver cat doll is 12. Old guys are in their 50's, green hair's mother is in late 20 (teenage pregnancy). Technically, they are all supposed to be over the age of eighteen, at least in the original game. Of course, that's a very bold technically. Due to a revised Japanese law several years ago, ero-games are prohibited from depicting people who are under the age of eighteen have sexual intercourse. But of course, the loophole exists that "they obviously look under eighteen, but since we are not giving what age they are or that they are in high or middle school, it is okay." That's why many of the schools based on ero-games do not specifically say "high school." They usually are some sort of "campus" or "school." For example, the school that Sousuke and Chidori go to in FMP is specifically known as "Jindai High School," but the school that the characters in SHUFFLE! go to is known as "National Verbena Campus." On the other hand, some of the restrictions are bit relaxed in the anime as they are allowed to describe the students as "high school students" who attend "National Verbena Campus." That would be a big no-no if it was described that way in the original ero-game from Navel. __________________________________________________ PGilis 2005-08-24, 19:54 Heh, I hope the anime follows fairly close with the game until the end.

There are actually a pair of twins existing in Sia's body. Sia is a god-devil hybrid, the "Outer Sia" is the Sia who has dominant god blood, and the dominant personality, while the Inner Sia is the Sia who has dominant devil blood, and the hidden personality. Inner Sia hates Outer Sia for being able to enjoy life while she can't do anything. Actually, as far i can tell, ... ...

Hmm... is that your own speculation or do you have some source for that? Like kj1980 said the game never clearly states the ages of the characters, and the school is fictional and considering how special Primula is, I doubt the school rules (if there are such rules) can affect her anyway... Also I find what you have said doesn't really seem to add up? :confused: Lycoris is a clone of Nerine, and Primula is produced after Lycoris. So Lycoris is made after Nerine is born, and Primula is made sometime later after Lycoris. Lycoris ages faster, and Lycoris looks to be about the same age as Rin when she meets him, that means she should be quite a lot younger than Rin at that time? Also if Lycoris ages faster while Primula ages slower, and Primula comes after Lycoris, that means Lycoris should look much older than Primula when she gives her the doll... but you said she doesn't look to be much older than Primula... seems we have a contradiction here? :eyespin: Remember it's Lycoris who gives the doll to Primula, not Nerine... You could've just said 26. Anywho its 26.

Like kj1980 said the game never clearly states the ages of the characters, and the school is fictional and considering how special Primula is, I doubt the school rules (if there are such rules) can affect her anyway... Yeah, sort of. I read in a review in a Bishoujo Games Discussion Group they state Primula's age as just one year younger than Rin. If Rin is 17 (he don't looks to be younger than that to me) so Primula must be 16. You can check yourself here (http://f5.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/wPgSQ7t...ews/Shuffle%21) or here (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/renai_games/), at the FILES--REVIEWS session. ;) And there's no reason to think they will treat her differently than any other case. After all, they have many gods, devils and halflings there in that school and never treat them differently. Even the princesses of the god and devil world are studying like normal (human) students! Actually, what i found most amusing is: how can Mayumi be a teenager if the gates to the devil world were opened just 10 years ago? :heh: [QUOTE] Also I find what you have said doesn't really seem to add up? :confused: Lycoris is a clone of Nerine, and Primula is produced after Lycoris.

Well, I read she has a very short life span, so i thought she was aging faster, too. Sorry, my mistake. :heh: But you have a point. In the opening, we saw Primula inside a tank. She was not a baby, what means maybe all the previous experiments (Ama and Lycoris) were created already with a certain age, too. Think all the clones in the movie THE ISLAND. I just thought Primula ages slower because, even considerating she was almost the same age than the other girls, she still looks like a loli. Oh well, maybe she ages at a normal pace, but still has a very petite body, compared to the other girls (except Mayumi!!). :D __________________________________________________ dreamless 2005-08-29, 10:38 Actually, what i found most amusing is: how can Mayumi be a teenager if the gates to the devil world were opened just 10 years ago? :heh: well, during one class the teacher says that at times humans accidentally go into the realm of gods or devils and that's called kamikakushi/spirited away. And at times beings from the other realms also accidentally come to human realm too. the Gate just establishes permanent links between the realms. __________________________________________________ sinistral 2005-08-29, 11:15 It means Inner Sia.

Inner Sia hates Outer Sia for being able to enjoy life while she can't do anything. I noticed that there are actually 3 names under the silhouette of Sia. Lisianthus, that name I posted as a picture, and 1 more is Kikyou. This is correct right? I thought Sia was actually a god+god+devil hybrid, since the family protrait shows 3 mothers I presume. __________________________________________________ Kira_Naruto 2005-08-29, 13:07 :topicoff: .. The thread with most spoiler tag used ... :D __________________________________________________ Garet 2005-08-29, 13:52 I noticed that there are actually 3 names under the silhouette of Sia. Lisianthus, that name I posted as a picture, and 1 more is Kikyou. This is correct right? I thought Sia was actually a god+god+devil hybrid, since the family protrait shows 3 mothers I presume. Inner Sia = Kikyou. It's the name given to her by Rin later to officialy give her a seperate identity from Sia. Also, the King of Gods has 3 wives, but only one of them (the devil) is the real mother of Sia. __________________________________________________ Morisato 2005-08-30, 01:45 Yeah, sort of. I read in a review in a Bishoujo Games Discussion Group they state Primula's age as just one year younger than Rin. If Rin is 17 (he don't looks to be younger than that to me) so Primula must be 16. You can check yourself here (http://f5.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/wPgSQ7t...ews/Shuffle%21) or here (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/renai_games/), at the FILES--REVIEWS session. ;) And there's no reason to think they will treat her differently than any other case. After all, they have many gods, devils and halflings there in that school and never treat them differently. Even the princesses of the god and devil world are studying like normal (human) students! Actually, what i found most amusing is: how can Mayumi be a teenager if the gates to the devil world were opened just 10 years ago? :heh: [QUOTE] Also I find what you have said doesn't really seem to add up? :confused: Lycoris is a clone of Nerine, and Primula is produced after Lycoris. So Lycoris is made after Nerine is born, and Primula is made sometime later after Lycoris. Lycoris ages faster, and Lycoris looks to be about the same age as Rin when she meets him, that means she should be quite a lot younger than Rin at that time? Also if Lycoris ages faster while Primula ages slower, and Primula comes after Lycoris, that means Lycoris should look much older than Primula when she gives her the doll... but you said she doesn't look to be much older than Primula... seems we have a contradiction here? :eyespin: Remember it's Lycoris who gives the doll to Primula, not Nerine... Well, I read she has a very short life span, so i thought she was aging faster, too. Sorry, my mistake. :heh: But you have a point. In the opening, we saw Primula inside a tank. She was not a baby, what means maybe all the previous experiments (Ama and Lycoris) were created already with a certain age, too. Think all the clones in the movie THE ISLAND. I just thought Primula ages slower because, even considerating she was almost the same age than the other girls, she still looks like a loli. Oh well, maybe she ages at a normal pace, but still has a very petite body, compared to the other girls (except Mayumi!!). :D Its a plothole, obviously the guy who made this didn't think that far. Anyways if Primula is 16, how does that make her a loli? 16 is the most common age for main characters/girls in just about all anime. __________________________________________________ dreamless 2005-08-30, 04:09 well, loli or not have little to do with real age. A girl can be thousands of years old in real age, as long as she looks very young, she's a loli. For example Yukino in GateKeepers... __________________________________________________ 07ChanF 2005-08-30, 06:29 Can anyone spoil me on Kaede's backstory? If its way too spoilerish can it be pm'ed to me instead of posted because a little birdy on the board told me he would hunt me down if major spoilers were loosened about Kaede... __________________________________________________ defiant 2005-08-30, 15:27 Can anyone spoil a little about the story of Ama and Asa Havent played the game and would like to know more of it. Thanks __________________________________________________ Xellos-_^ 2005-08-30, 16:11 lets see who has enough will power to resist click on the spoiler button :D The spoiler here contains story for all the girls. Are you guys really sure you want to know? don't say I didn't warn you. Kaede loves Lin, but she doesn't want Lin's love back. When they were small, Kaede wrongfully blamed Lin for her mother's death and made attempts to kill him. Ever since, Kaede took care of Lin, and used this fact as an excuse to stay together with Lin forever. Kaede believes if she were to be forgiven, she'd have no more excuse to stay with Lin because she doesn't have to take care of Lin anymore. Sia has 3 mothers (In Tenkai, men are allowed to have up to three wives), and one of them is from Makai (Maou's sister). At first there were two babies, one being God race and the other one being Devil race. God race was Sia, and while she was allowed to come out of the womb, the other was abandoned because she was not a God race (Makai princess had to be a God race), and the soul of the abandoned one infused into Sia's body. As a result, Sia now had a second soul, which could come out when Sia is asleep. 8 years ago, Sia met Lin for the first time, and fell in love with him by the end of the day, along with her other soul who also fell in love with Lin. While the other soul (Her name is Kikyou, Lin gave her that name at the end of Sia path) held herself back from loving Lin more than Sia did, Sia also wanted Kikyou to be happy. So Sia decided to disappear once she got everything she ever wanted from Lin and hand him over to Kikyou, who was angered by that decision. Kikyou had absolutely nothing, everyone thought she was Sia, she didn't even have a name and she wasn't permitted to live. After Lin gave her the name, Kikyou got self-control back (she was attacking Lin while angered), Sia came back, and decided to live and love Lin together. Nerine has had destructive magic abilities since she was born, but she was not able to handle them, and got a weak body. So Makai made a clone of her (named Ricoris) to test various methods to suppress that power. When Ricoris visited the human world in place of Nerine, she met Lin, whom she fell in love with by the end of the day (-.-), and told Nerine about him. Due to the experiments Ricoris got conducted on, her life span got so short that she wasn't going to live for much long. So she decided to fuse with Nerine, and as they did, Nerine got a strong body, enough to suppress her magic, along with Ricoris' love songs and Lin. Nerine felt guilty about it and decided to live as Ricoris and love Lin as Ricoris. However, while trying to do so, Nerine herself fell in love with him and loved him as Nerine, not Ricoris. Since Nerine thought she wasn't allowed to love Lin, she tried leave him, but Lin told her that Ricoris would have wanted her to live as Nerine. As a result, Nerine started to love songs and Lin as well without any hesitation. Primula has an empty soul (literally, meaning she has no emotions at all). The only being Primula ever liked was Ricoris, until she met Lin. She wanted to live with him, and in so doing, she gained many emotions. When she tells Lin about the death of Ricoris and how much she liked her, Lin told Primula that he'll be her brother, and that made Primula love Lin. One day, Lin got a broken bone (don't remember why), and Primula awakened her magic and healed him. As she realized she could use magic, she decided to go back to Makai and use magic to help others overcome the deaths of their loved ones. In order to prevent Lin from feeling lonely, she used magic to erase Lin's memory. As she tried to walk past Lin like a nobody, Lin hugged her from behind, causing Primula's emotions to overflow, which made her stay by his side. Asa had feelings towards Lin, but it was never substantial, as the two always acted like just good friends no matter what the situation was. One day, Lin told Asa about Kaede's reasons for hating him, and Lin was so similar to the person Asa respected and admired, Asa's love for Lin became solid and resolute. She couldn't control that feeling, and confessed it to Lin along with a kiss. One day at school, Asa fell, and when Lin asked her of what happened, she told him of her life story, about her mother and why she had magic in her although she's a human. Asa's mother was the first test subject in Makai, who ended up in the human world, fell in love with a human male and gave birth to Asa. When Asa realized that she was soon going to die because she had uncontrollable magic in a human body, she blamed her mother for it. Asa felt bad about it, and decided to live as a human forever so her mother does not have to bare the guilt (by releasing magic, Asa would no longer be deemed as a human, but Devil race). Lin tried hard to make her use magic but they all failed, so as a last resort, Lin tried to sacrifice his life, and Asa finally used magic to save him. Basically when you go through Asa route in the game, Kareha confesses that she likes Lin as well right after Asa and Lin start dating, and claims that she will be one of Lin's wives as he gets married with Asa in Tenkai. __________________________________________________ Sionthus 2005-08-30, 17:34 OMG! I wish I resisted! This plot is awesome! Ive just spoiled Rims story though __________________________________________________ defiant 2005-08-30, 20:43 Very good plot. I'm looking forward to watch how does the anime turns out. But have a question: Why does Makai tries to make a very powerful being with god-demon powers. And if Ama is the first test subject then why is she in the human realm. Without supervision of them and why did they allow her to have a child Thanks __________________________________________________ Xellos-_^ 2005-08-30, 21:59 Very good plot. I'm looking forward to watch how does the anime turns out. But have a question: Why does Makai tries to make a very powerful being with god-demon powers. And if Ama is the first test subject then why is she in the human realm. Without supervision of them and why did they allow her to have a child Thanks During one thier experiments Ama-san went berserk and kill a lot of people and did a lot of damage. And I think it isn't so much as they allow her come to the human realm it was no one has the power to stop her when she left. As for Asa, they probably lost track of Ama-san when she left because i doubt that either of the kings or Sia or Nerine know Ama-san is Asa-chan's mother or that Ama-san lives in that city. And if you remeber ep7 when Ama-san comment about her lack of confidence in taste testing her soup thats one of the result of the experiments. __________________________________________________ defiant 2005-08-30, 22:21 Just a thought What could it happen when they found out that Ama is well and she has a child. Would the King of Devils and Gods do something about it __________________________________________________ dannykun 2005-08-30, 22:22 omg xellos you just gave away the farm. __________________________________________________ Kira_Naruto 2005-08-31, 00:31 ^ he gave a fair warning ^^ ..

The plot lines are very different from your normal dating game <--- yes, dating... game with this kinda plot can't really be fall into the hentai section... The Kaede plot really suprised me thou... but then again... they've been dropping hints in the anime already! very cool! thank you for that Xellos ;) __________________________________________________ dannykun 2005-08-31, 21:11 haha yeah i know i was warned. but i am weak, weak like ukraine T-T anyways those plotlines are something else. completely amazing, i cannot wait to see them in action. but the anime needs to stop fooling around by giving each character an episode or they won't get to all that juicy drama. __________________________________________________ Anh_Minh 2005-08-31, 21:24 I don't get Asa's story. Why is she trying to live as a human? So she won't die? Then, why I Lin trying to make her use her magic? Or will using her magic turn her into a demon and save her life? If so, how is living as a human erasing Ama's guilt? Shouldn't she feel better if her daughter doesn't die? __________________________________________________ sinistral 2005-09-01, 00:37 I don't get Asa's story. Why is she trying to live as a human?

Shouldn't she feel better if her daughter doesn't die? You should read Xellos-_^ character girl stories post on top. The answers are there. If your question is from the post, then If she continue living as a human, she will die very soon because of the power she has in her body. What she said is that her devil's power is too much for her human body, which will result in her quick death. She thinks her mother felt guilty for not giving birth to a proper human. (My guess would be Ama didn't want to be reminded of her ordeal of being a 'made' devil and if she sees her daughter turning devil, things might not look nice..) __________________________________________________ defiant 2005-09-01, 08:03 Have a couple of questions about Ama I got confused Ama is she a Devil with here powers enchanced? Or a human converted into a devil? Also I found a wallpaper that says that the complete name of Ama is Amateur, is this correct? |

Same above I remember that... ... the only true "harem ending" in the game. Rin married with a real "two-in-one" girl. :D And beside that, in a sense Sia and Nerine are cousins? That explain many things. :) Same above That's my favorite scenario in the game... :) ... And main connection point with Primula's and Asa's scenarios. Primula was so cute starting to show emotions in her scenario! :D But i don't remember. She started to call Rin "oniisama" too, or not?

I'm annoyed that dialogue overlaps in the character storylines, so I end up hitting the Skip button for the most of it... The 100%-collect-all-CG character paths/decisions are listed in the Shuffle! Visual Fan Book, which also has the CGs printed. ^_^ Has the Fan Book been translated? If not, then I can provide some excerpts... (It's a big book). Primula uses her healing magic on Rin after Rin breaks his arm (or at least fractures it badly) from falling from a tree. Reason: Primula spotted a kitty on the tree and wanted Rin to retrieve it. After she used magic she wasn't needed to be in the human world anymore... __________________________________________________ Morisato 2005-09-03, 05:49 Yes I do find Ama's voice damn annoying, her voice pisses me off more than Sia's voice.

Old guys are in their 50's, green hair's mother is in late 20 (teenage pregnancy). Are you sure you got Asa's mother's age right because if Asa is 17 and her mother was in her late 20's that would mean she got pregnant at the age of 12 at the latest which would currently make her 29. IMO that's not very believable because when I think of teenages pregnancies I think of a girl age 15-17 ( I don't count 18-19 because by then they are legal adults here in Canada anyway) accidentaly getting pregnant while fooling around. __________________________________________________ pureebear 2005-09-17, 19:33 but in this threads someone wrotew that he ends with this person maybe it tells in the manga if u can can u tell me who ends up with rin thx soooooooo much __________________________________________________ Scarred 2005-09-19, 11:03 I happened to obtain the Tick! Tack! game and had just completed it recently, so I can give a little spoiler, about Sia's mother and Nerine's mother and what would happen if u, errr... altered the history... yep, it's this girl http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/194/saineria4ql.jpg Name's Saineria (direct japanese translation) and no, you can't touch her. Well, most people have the impression that Ai, Forbesii's fiancee, was Nerine's mother. (Including me, I mean the blue hair and the err... chest facter and all. See for yourself) http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/5864/ai9td.jpg Here comes the surprise... Nerine's mother is actually, SAGE. Yes, the black hair, relatively flat chested, younger looking maid. However, after a while, it did make some sense if u compare Sage's and Nerine's looks. They did look kinda similar, no? http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3577/sage2ey.jpg http://img275.imageshack.us/img275/6861/nerine4dm.jpg Now, Sage IS a character u can go after, however, she doesn't have a happy ending, as in, you can't end up with her in the epilogue. (There is a good ending with Ai thru) You don't even need to have physical relationship with Sage to alter history, as long as u make options that swayed the character's relation (namely, making Sage falls for you or just by preventing/not helping Forbesii and Sage from understanding their true feelings for each other). So what will happen? As Nerine is the daughter of Forbesii and Sage, therefore something has to happen to her if history is changed, right? Well, she did, depending on how u change history, the normal Nerine will turn to either: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/4...knerine5bs.jpg Nerine(pink) and http://img321.imageshack.us/img321/3...inerine8ug.jpg Nerine(loli) :heh: Each have a ending to them. In fact, there are only 4 endings in this game, one for each Nerine (normal,pink and loli) and one for Ai If my understanding is correct, Forbesii only have 1 wife. By history it is Sage, and in one of the scenarios he ends up with Ai. He didn't have both. (Rin did. There is a 3-P event involving Ai and Sage in Ai's route and another involving blue-Nerine and Sage in blue-Nerine's route (ya, I know. I was like "WTF!?!")) Of the 3 epilogues associated with Nerine, only normal Nerine's ending features her mother, a slightly older looking Sage. Of pink-Nerine and loli-Nerine, their mother never showed up in the epilogue. (thru pink-Nerine mother should be Ai) That's so much for Tick! Tack! spoilers... and my first post in animesuki :p __________________________________________________ Cloudnine 2005-09-19, 11:29 ^^^ I have yet to find loli-neriko's path... *bites thumb* Hmmm~ so that's how it is... __________________________________________________ Riker 2005-09-19, 12:03 Somehow, there HAS to be a loli in such games. :x I saw a screenshot of the loli and was wondering where that came from.

All in all it's obvious Asa's the one for him :D I mean come on the guy basically tries to commit suicide for her, how many people would do that for another? :heh: Those who have seen the 2nd last season of Buffy the Vampire slayer would know what I'm talking about, the football player with that crazy sport coat that and I'm biased for Asa, I love her personality :D __________________________________________________ Scarred 2005-09-20, 20:23 To elaborate a bit more about Kaede: Her mother died and Rin's parents died in a car accident, and she blamed Rin for it because Rin wanted her to do so. The accident happened when they cancelled the trip and headed back, reason being Kaede fell sick. Now Kaede was very emotionally attached to her mother at that time. The news that she died made her lost her will to live, and it will only be worse if she knew they made the fatal decision to turn back all because of her. Rin decided to lie to Kaede, telling that her their parents made the turn cos Rin simply wanted them to and Kaede should blame him for her mother's death. It worked, only too well. Kaede recovered and was filled with anger and hatred towards Rin. She tried to kill him. She pushed him off the stairs, stabbed him and poisoned him and all. Rin told Asa that he still carrys the scars from back then. __________________________________________________ The Desert Tiger 2005-09-20, 22:48 To elaborate a bit more about Kaede: Her mother died and Rin's parents died in a car accident, and she blamed Rin for it because Rin wanted her to do so.

Kind of sick, imo. :( btw, where can I pick up a copy of Shuffle? ;) The game is the same way, if not presented better since you get to find out more about each character through everyday conversations not found in the anime. There's more interaction and dialogue, plus as the hero you can choose your path and therefore dictate your ending. It's not like the game is all hentai, if anything the hentai scenes only constitute about 5% of the actual game. The rest is invested in the latter half of each girls path.

They're just a few short scenes and far on each girl's route. Actually, they're more like "make love" than "sex" scenes. I already saw not-adult hollywoodian movies more dirty and senseless than that. :) And, like someone else hinted here, you allways can "SKIP" the scene, if that troubles you. And, if you really have a problem, just wait the release date for the PS2 version. __________________________________________________ Riker 2005-09-22, 14:03 This is kinda bugging me.

But instead of getting the a$$whooping he expected, the gods party, and then proceed to assume that Rin's going to rule all 3 worlds. (i.e. he'll take Sia, Nerine AND whoever he chose...) ** Now here's the question: How many people end up marrying Rin in each ending? (So far supposingly there's no 'problems' after the game ends [and that nobody dies] I've counted: Primula's End: Primule, Sia, Nerine, Kaede (At least they seemed pretty eager to marry Rin at the end) Kaede's End: Kaede, (Sia?? Nerine??) Asa's End: Asa, Kareha, Sia?, Nerine?, Kaede?? Sia's End: Sia & Kikyo[sp?] (I recalled Nerine saying this in a sad tone: "It's OK if it's Sia") Nerine's End: Nerine? (Have no idea who else is going to be involved.) Anyone know for sure? :) After watching ep 10 I have a doubt Spoiler for Sia Secret:
Is Sia aware of Kyouko before meeting again with Rin, or after? I have the impression after seen ep 10 that she doesnt know about her other self. What do you think? It seemed like Sia was surprized by the fact that Kikyou popped up even when she wasn't sleeping. (Since Kikyou is only suppose to appear when Sia's asleep) In the game Sia's definately aware of her other self, and I think it's the same case for the manga too. (Volume 3 I think?) |

Add the convenient fact that Primula's living in Rin's house, and the fact that she's the ultimate magical vessel, said to hold the key to the future of both realms Basically the two rulers have every excuse to take a holiday in the human realm. *** BTW, in the manga Sia's moms pay a visit in volume 3(?), and Kaede's dad also returns for a chapter. So they're around, just probably too busy to interfere with the lives of their children. so in tick tack game, rin suppously ended up wit nerine and they went back into the past? then rin goes around pimpin and nerine charactertisic changes? that would mean her memories changes also, cuz the pink/loli nerine would never meet rin cuz they dont got 2 personilities like blue nerine. but that also means that they wouldve never went back in time, so rin could never change time... wow this is confusing So basically you're concerned with the paradoxes that might have been created by Rin 'time travelling... Well... it depends on what philosophy the directors decide to adopt for the game. I'm not sure how Nerine changes in the game, but if Nerine actually travels with Rin, AND is affected by his decisions, I don't think the parallel world theory would work well. Since the player's choices are affecting the fate of Nerine, I suppose it could be something like this: 1.) Basically Rin's choice was already determined before things happened, and thus Rin's time travelling doesn't cause a paradox. (i.e. It was determined that Rin would have time travel, and perform whatever changes that he would have done. That being said, Nerine's change was also predetermined. [Whether it would be that Nerine => Pink Nerine, or not changing at all]) *** Problems with the above theory: If it was predetermined that Nerine would change, then how/why did Rin first meet with Nerine? (i.e. If the player didn't pick a route that resulted in normal Nerine, then how did Rin meet Nerine & time travel back?) *** Possible escapes: 1.) Blue Nerine is the true ending, and the other endings are merely possible worlds... (but then again possible worlds are as real as our world isn't it?) 2.) The Blue Nerine world was but an illusion created in order for the player to live out the real world. Once Rin made the decisions that altered Nerine, the illusional world disappeared, and everything became what it was at the end of the game. *** (Reads my post... realizes that I've gone crazy again... :heh:) __________________________________________________ Encoder 2005-09-28, 00:25 The game is magic, time does not exist in this game. 1 second of Sia's life equals 1 day of Rin's life <---------read this in a myth book once. __________________________________________________ Decagon 2005-09-28, 12:16 The game is magic, time does not exist in this game. 1 second of Sia's life equals 1 day of Rin's life <---------read this in a myth book once.

Naruto is over 100 eps long, but thats with the introduction of more than 30 characters. Shuffle! only has 5 girls, one guy, and about 3 other side characters that are of any interest. So of course, they have to keep it short for this anime. That's not to say ovas and sequels aren't bad. In fact, having them is a very good idea :heh: . __________________________________________________ Vexx 2005-09-30, 17:40 The thing is that people would probably lose interest if it were to run for a year.

Remember 52 eps generally = 1 year. You're probably right .. or at least you're voicing what the producers/broadcasters think. I think they usually underestimate their audience (in the US, there are more fundamental reasons why the television audience is shirinking like a punctured balloon - make shows for the stupid and only the stupid watch). Since Shuffle! is R-15+ I would *hope* the target audience is capable of holding a few ideas in their head for an extended duration :) But... given the way many of these series are structured (i.e. running the relationship threads in sequential rather than in parallel form), it would be a bit difficult to recall details from 15 or 20 episodes ago. It would be nice to see Shuffle! storyboarded in parallel arcs rather than sequential arcs. More realistic and more of a race... though I think they're going to miss an opportunity here for a groundbreaking solution not available in the game. Ah well... I've been told the commercial purpose of the anime is to get you to buy the manga and all the merchandise (shocking, eh? :) ). So my Eeyore-sense says the series will end with no real change of status. Rin will have a pack of girls orbiting him and we'll see a few OVAs profiling his relationship with a selected young lady and maybe a resolution. We can hope for something more challenging and completed in the manga. Ichigo (much as I liked the character design and a lot of the bits) was broken from the start because of just flat poor storyboarding in the anime and the manga suffered from "soap opera never-enditis" and was wrapped up very abruptly. __________________________________________________ ToshioRyu 2005-10-04, 02:47 umm i was wondering how come AnimeUniverse skipped eps 10 and released eps 11 instead? will they be doing eps 10? __________________________________________________ Vexx 2005-10-04, 02:53 umm i was wondering how come AnimeUniverse skipped eps 10 and released eps 11 instead? will they be doing eps 10? Discussed in the episode threads 10 and 11 -- in a nutshell: the team working ep 11 got done first while ep 10 got hung up on some subtleties of translation. They went ahead and released 11 "for the good of the community" since many people had seen 10 from the other groups. They are still working on 10 and have said they'll release it as soon as it is ready. I rather like their freewheeling translation --- it includes dialog that fits right in with how it might be said with Western slang and metaphor. Froth and Kaz are doing more 'straight" translations -- more helpful if you're trying to actually listen to the language and learn a bit of it. __________________________________________________ ToshioRyu 2005-10-05, 20:27 Thanks for that i didn't know what was going on... there site wasn't even working when i tried to find out. __________________________________________________ Koryu 2005-10-08, 19:57 hey guys, im currently looking for episode 10 and episode 11 torrents for shuffle!. it seems that froth bite doesn't have it and when i try downloading the one who has them, they seem to be not working. so...can someone help me look for one? edit: nvm, found the torrents. :) __________________________________________________ Vexx 2005-10-09, 02:18 animeU just released their version of ep 10 .... froth-bite's version is still in the pipeline.

Also, it isn't that knew, so I though ti ti would be like atleast $40 by now!!! __________________________________________________ Vexx 2005-10-11, 02:52 You are confused by the pricing... "$50" is only a typical price for a game released in the USA. The typical price for games in Japan is $80 (or about 7800 yen depending on the currency exchange). You are also assuming the sort of price discount that happens in the States. This is a foreign (i.e. Japanese) game ... um, it also means that the game itself is *in* Japanese (no subtitles) and requires your computer's operating systems to be set to the Japan Region locale and possibly some fonts installed. The $80 dollars is kind of pricey by our standards, *particularly* when you consider these sort of games are really just fancy Zork/Adventure type text games with pretty pictures, music, and voice acting. It would be interesting to see what a game like HalfLife sells for in Japan. __________________________________________________ dreamless 2005-10-11, 03:03 And usually they are without voice acting and not nearly the interactivity of Zork/Adventure type games... the "gameplay" just consists of occassionally selecting text menus... they are "visual novels" with next to nil gameplay and only story and pictures... __________________________________________________ Rawr 2005-10-11, 03:41 Since I can't see text in the games, I wish Rin had a voice so I could keep up better with whats going on :/ __________________________________________________ kira_lacusXX 2005-10-17, 22:30 i was reading the episode 13 discussion thread and someone mentioned asa is an experiment [or something] and the faint at the beach had something to do with it...i asked for an explanation [because asa is too cool] but none answered until someone told me to try this thread...sooo anyone know and want to explain to me? __________________________________________________ Xellos-_^ 2005-10-17, 22:37 i was reading the episode 13 discussion thread and someone mentioned asa is an experiment [or something] and the faint at the beach had something to do with it...i asked for an explanation [because asa is too cool] but none answered until someone told me to try this thread...sooo anyone know and want to explain to me?

Maybe he's a mastermind behind all the attacks on Rin. Just realized, this is for episode 14, this should be in the Q&A section. Well~~~another thinking bout it for a while, i remembered that he was in Ep 1, during when Rin/Kaede was walking to school which was before the RRR/SSS was formed, thus coming to a conclusion of him being either KKK or Rin fanboy:heh: jk jk __________________________________________________ Nightwisher 2005-10-24, 13:11 :p i do by the way wonder if the makers of the game (and therefore anime more or less knowing) added Sia's Chair as a cheer for Munchkin Fu's 'Folding Chair of Retribution' __________________________________________________ Vexx 2005-10-24, 13:44 Dunno... but her "Magic Chair of Smiting" reminds me of some of the weapons in World of Warcraft (appear on demand).

O.o __________________________________________________ Vexx 2005-10-26, 03:15 I was wondering "Does the ribbon every girl is wearing something important or significant?"... or is it just a fasion trend... O.o I'm going to take a wild leap here, based on the Asa & Rin conversation in ep 14, and bet the ribbons are an allusion to the bonds people create with each other. In Japanese culture, the *bonds* between people seem to be more important than whether they were good or bad -- the memories that make those bonds are really the only things that transcend the impermanence of all things. So think of them as fancy memory "reminders" if naught else. Every ribbon worn seems to be a memory of something for the wearer (so far.. we haven't gotten many of the backstories yet). __________________________________________________ Princess_of_Hell 2005-10-27, 13:00 What is inner Sia's name anyways?

She will definitely appear when Lisianthus felt inferior or something, or when Lisianthus actually wants Kikyou to appear and she herself 'disappears'/make herself become 'recessive'.

We've seen some of what Nerine can do, and it was mentioned that Kareha-sempai has healing magic. But the main thing that has piqued my curiousity about this is: Prior to the creation of Primula, both experimental subjects - Ama and Lycoris - were from the demon race. The object of the experiment was to create a being with more powerful magic than either race currently commands. So, are demons being used because they have more capacity for magic than the god race to begin with, or are they simply more expendable?

The crackle around the form of God-chan in ep 15 leads me to believe that the gods are just more restrained about it. ep 15 ... watched it several times now... excellent episode but I wish they'd had a bit of budget for the lab climax special effects (think Nanoha and Nanoha A sfx). __________________________________________________ dreamless 2005-11-01, 03:17 Kikyou is demon-blooded(her mother is the Demon God's sister).

Thanks for bringing the Q&A back :heh: |
<Random User> Now, are there CG sets for Mayumi from Shuffle???
answer please |
Shuffle! Website!
Okay, I just found out from SnakeLegend (a member who joined some time before AS forums went down, old-timers should know him) that he's creating a website as a school project. Well, as a true Shuffle! fan, he's decided to create a website of everyone's favourite anime, Shuffle! (duh). However, he needs a bit of information to complete stuff like the girls' bios. So, I suppose we could all do our bit to help him, since this represents something important to us.
Since he's facing some problems in trying to register back online, I decided to go ahead and appeal to the Shuffle! forum for help first. Both of us got the visual fanbook saved in our computers, so things like the girls' height, birth dates and vital statistics :naughty:, are already known to us. (Did anyone realize that Mayumi is the tallest among all the girls? That explains why her chest is so small :D) However, since we can't read Japanese, we need someone to translate the parts regarding the flower each characters' (The 5 girls, Kareha, Mayumi, the two kings, Beni-sensei and Ama, no Itsuki, sorry III) name is connected to. (I know some of these details are already posted, but I find it a hassle to look for it.) Also, we need things like their likes and dislikes as well. Arakawa Takeshi, I recall you did translate Sia's and Nerine's pages in the fanbook before, so I'm sure you can provide the information easily. So, I hope some kind souls would help to contribute to this website. Thanks in advance, from me and SnakeLegend. |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuffle%21
Wikipedia already has a massive article on SHuffle and individual biographies for each girl, at least for Kaede and Asa at the moment. I haven't had time to load up Nerine, Primula, and SIa's. The pictures are there as well. He can use that as a reference and I've already loaded up their name meanings (At least what I found but I could be wrong) for each girl. Of course, better for a website since somebody vandalized Kaede's biography but luckily someone fixed that. |
It's not bad in way of a storyline, but could someone give a better explanation of the relationship between the names and the plants?

Quote:
Sia and Nerine's alter egos (Kikyou & Lycoris) are also botanically named... Kikyou is the Japanese name for Platycodon grandifloris, or Chinese Bellflower. This plant is also referred to as the Balloon Flower. In episode 17, right before she tells Rin about her other self, Sia says something like "I wonder what this flower is called?" and picks a flower that is growing on the hillside. That flower is a kikyou. And from an article I found: "Lycoris is an eastern Asian genus of Amaryllidaceae superficially resembling the South African Nerine and sometimes confused with it in the horticultural trade. However, the two genera are not closely related and are placed in different tribes (Meerow et al., 1999)." BTW - Amaryllidaceae is very large group of plants which includes spider lillies and daffodils. Edit: More Lycoris info here: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archiv...flower1205.htm |
Thanks a lot, Furudanuki. Anyone else with the ability to translate pages of the visual fanbook? Can you please give some more information? Vexx?

er anyone know what's storyline about?
and er know any short summary of each episode? what are the character's statistics and profile? including D.O.B. and three-lengths of the body :p and er Hobbies, favourites and dislikes and so on. |
Actually.. if you visit Froth-Bite's Wiki page http://www.froth-bite.com/wiki/Projects/Shuffle
it answers most/all of those questions... |
ok gotcha, will go check out. if i got outta the webby's question i'll ask you.

The girls' catchphrases (in japanese)
er... i got a little shuffle game question. can anyone tell me the catchphrases of the girls in the game OP? i know the english versions that are in the OP already. i just want to know the japanese versions that the gals say in the game actual. i need them in romaji and kanji+hiragana please.
for example, this one i found on the Hand of Gory blog: Asa --> " だから言わなかった…言いたくなかった." too bad it's only in kanji. the full page is here: http://www.yayapapayaz.com/handofgor...thread-028-118 thank you very much. |
if its the full game sentences/script you want, you'll have to wait. the game's translation's going to be completed soon.
