Indeed.

Also, it always good to learn, at least, the hiraganas and katakanas and use of particles such a wo, ni, ha, etc.

Meh.. completed Asa route on Shuffle. ( It was way too short x_x ) I was kinda awaiting to see the break down of Kaede but it wasn't there. Is there an actual route for this ( Nerine/Sia? ), or was that just something that was made into the anime out of nothing .. ?

I believe that part an anime original part as well a some others. Shuffle! is pretty short too.

Agreed. Knowing the kana set, particles, basic grammar (especially for verbs) will go a long way. You can build your vocabulary as you go along.

And ya, Kaede is quite tame in the game.

Just completed Discipline: Record of a Crusade, I expected good endings like the anime but they were all tragedy except 1 >.<, same with Stepmother's Sin, now I'm playing Tears to Tiara(which is awesome) and Crescendo.

Well there is an english translation underway for the first game, and according to VNDB they are supposed to be in the editing phase for over a year already (so I'm having some doubts). While I haven't played it, I'm sure to give it a try once the patch will be out finally (if it ever will :/ ).

Well.. Can't get my hopes up with that.. I got some trauma for over-joyed by Fortune Arterial's translation project back then and the project was dropped.. Oh well.. It's in the past now.. One of the best VN ever.. If anything, I'd hope for Tayutama English translation now..

[izmosmolnar]

No I wouldn't hold my breath for Sono Hanabira either unfortunately. If the translation is indeed finished then it would make sense to recruit a few willing editors / qcers to release it shortly, but it's been almost over a year already, and the game isn't even long to begin with...

While it's possible someone would try his hands with Tayutama, there isn't any such effort currently AFAIK. On the other hand there's a partially done "abandoned" project for Itsusora, Lump of Sugar's earlier game (I'm still secretly hoping Sterling might decide to pick it up again <.< ).

I'm playing my first untranslated VN with AGTH and Translation Aggregator, Flat's "Killer Queen". I really love it so far, really intense and enjoyable game. (I feel bad for missing so many things due to the improper TL though.)

[Miyamoto Shin]

Hahah.. I think I'll take my word back about wanting a Tayutama translation project now.. I guess it's best to keep it Japanese so fewer people would play the game. That way, I feels like Mashiro is more exclusively mine XD (Stupid reason I know, but I mean it.. I love Mashiro to that extent)..

Anyway, Is there none of you guys played Dies Irae - Also Sprach Zarathstra

How do you feel if i told you that Sono Hanabira Ni Kuchizuke Wo is becoming an anime series soon?

[izmosmolnar]

I wouldn't mind it really, since I gladly welcome all the eroge adaptations. It'd be nice and refreshing to see another Yuri-VN adapted. (Albeit there are some other candidates I'd love to see in anime-format a bit more than Sono Hanabira, and most of them are untranslated too.)

I'm playing Policenauts now and love it.

[Dist]

Is that true MrTerrorist ? I'm amazed if that's so.

We lack good yuri titles indeed.. Well there's Aio Hana atm but I don't like the eye glassed girl ( Why is it, that nearly always, they have glasses in yuri manga/anime >.< )

Just hoping that if there's anime adaptation, it's done by some good studio and won't be just hentai adaptation with crappy art instead.

Yes it's true. It was announced at Comiket 76 by the creators of the game themselves. The studios that going to make it is subsidiary of their studio that does animation. And their adapting based on one of the games. Here's a clue which game it is.

Spoiler for Hint:

Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!

BTW, it's a straight Yuri Hentai anime adaptation. Excuse me while i'm gone.

[Dist]

Yuri Hentai Anime Adaptation ? That doesn't make any sense. Which is it, hentai or anime ?? Or is it like Shojo Sect.. while it has hentai content, it's not all about porn ? x_x

Also I didn't quite get you what you meant by the studio and the hint.. What game first into my mind was Shana, but that doesn't make any sense because you're talking about a GAME.

[ZODDGUTS]

Looking forward to this game by the writer/creator of Tsuyokiss and Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de.

http://www.getchu.com/soft.phtml?id=559705







Looks great especially the female lead? Also the game is somewhat related to Kimi ga Aruji as it takes 2 years after that game but in a different setting. On the link you should recognize one certain character that looks older now...

You don't get it do you? Fine I'll explain.

It's Hentai. Yuri Hentai. You happy now?

Apparently, you didn't get the hint since people who know the games or played it will instantly figure out which game their adapting.

But since you can't, I'll give another hint.

Spoiler for Another hint:

Remember the first hint? Now, keep that in mind. Now, look at all of the main girls in the series. Out of the 6(The rest, including the teacher, her kidnova student or those extra three girls don't count), which one do you think will the one most likely to say the first hint?

I hope you finally get it.

I finished the updated re-release version, Dies Irae - Also Sprach Zarathstra - Die Wiederkunft, of it about two weeks ago. In my opinion one of the better games I've played. A huge ammount of nice graphics and excellent oundtrack along with one of those stories perfectly fitting my taste. Ocassionally somewhat hard to read with odd "Light-wording", but thats what I got my trusty good old Sharp PW-8100 for.

It took Light almost 1½ years to fix the first disasterous version, but the results are good. All these parts of the story making no sense and other mistakes have been rewritten. Pointless "bad ends" with random sex scenes not contributing to anything have been removed and one contributing to the story has been added. There is even a new intro movie, allthough I did prefer the first one. It was also a nice move having a fandisc like retail price tag and providing it for free to all customers buying the first game. Seems like Light will also release a final free add-on at the end of December.

[izmosmolnar]

If anyone's interested, there is a poll at one of the fantranslation groups (the fellas translating Cross Channel) deciding which game to translate next. It's currently only about preliminary voting phase, and the main purpose for now to select a reasonable ~10 out of those 50+ VNs.
Registration is required, and trying to abuse proxies, voting multiple times will result in a ban though.
Here's the thread with various information which games are available what's there to know about them etc. , and then anyone can vote on THREE candidates in the thread here. I copypasted the full list down below in the spoiler tag.

Second poll is open . That poll is closed, so no one apart of the admins know how the current results are standing. The voting requires forum registration, just like last time, and you can only vote on one game this time around. These are the Visual Novels you can vote on, and provided it wins, it has a good chance of getting translated:

Baldr Sky Dive1 "LostMemory" from Giga! (OP)
Extravaganza from Black Cyc (OP)
Gore Screaming Show from Black Cyc (OP)
Himawari from Blank Note (OP)
Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a shooting star- from Favorite (OP)
Never 7 from KID (OP
Rui wa Tomo wo Yobu from Akatsuki Works (OP)
Saihate no Ima from Xuse (OP)
Sekien no Inganock -What a Beautiful People- from Liar Soft (OP)
Swan Song from Le.Chocolat & Flying Shine (OP)

If you click on the names at the polling page, you can find more information than you would need. (((And if you are undecided, please vote for Swan Song ^^ ))).

edit: The poll is closed already. The winner was (and therefore it's going to be translated) Sekien no Inganock.
