Clannad: Sunohara End Grisaia no Kajitsu: Makina's and Michuru's English lesson Fate Hollow Ataraxia: Majikoi has a ton of funny scenes, but unfortunately I don't have any screenshots or videos to show. Rewrite too, especially the Yoshino one.

D: Haaaaaaaai

About that picture, I am well aware of it and it is indeed good constructive feedback, so it's all good. Also note that all the lines in that picture are in Eris' chapter only and not the other chapters. The truth is, Eris' chapter was translated by another translator, and while I did TLC of it, it seems I didn't do a thorough enough TLC (I didn't think it would be that serious), so no excuses there. Hence, I'm currently relooking into Eris' chapter (now that I'm done translating Licia's chapter) and ironing out the spotty translation mistakes in there. That said, I might release another partial patch which will not only feature the fixes in Eris' chapter, but also adds Saint Irene's chapter (Chapter 3). We'll see how things go More importantly though, it would be great if I can get feedback on the prologue and Fione's chapter, because those 2 chapters are translated by me, and there hasn't been any major feedback on those 2 chapters. Eris' chapter is also the reason why I'm translating this VN solo now btw.

I seem to have a thing for older titles... Today I started reading to... - it seems to be pretty old and obscure VN (with only 1 vote on vndb). I stumbled upon it while clicking on random screenshots on vndb front page. It's summer, protagonist comes to small seaside town to do one month part time job at small ryokan (together with mandatory idiot friend ). There he meets some nice girls (including inn's owner). Meeting the heroines will change him and those around him. (that last sentence is from official story summary ) Pretty typical old romance VN setup. I liked art style, so I decided to give it a go. (first heroine, and first person that we meet in the whole VN - Miho) First impressions: It has unskippable opening movie, so I disabled it by renaming the file - it complains with error window, but then continues Art is indeed nice It has blinking animations - even for CGs! (I think it's third VN with this lovely feature that I'm playing - remaining two being Sakura no Kisetsu and Sakura Sakura) Music isn't looped, and only main heroines and protag's friend are voiced, so for the most time it's rather quiet It's a bit dating-sim like, with map movement as main system. But there are no stats or other such "gameplay" elements. I guess, maybe it's not "dating-sim" like, but just "oldschool VN"? First ToHeart used similar system, as well as DaCapo and some other titles. (Map movement screen) I wonder how will it turn out. BTW - thanks to rather strange title, searching for anything about this game, or the game itself, was absolute nightmare. I had to add character's name to query to get any usable results

The title basically says it all. What are your favorite funny moments/scenes in visual novels? I think my own top 3 are: 1. A certain music video in Rewrite. This masterpiece made me laugh so hard, I cried a little. 2. During Kappei's route in Clannad, when 3. During Yumiko's after story in Grisaia no Meikyuu, when

428 Shibuya Scramble. Some bad ends are irresistibly funny Clannad. A special prize for Akio and Sunohara. Grisaia no Kajitsu. The Common route and the first part of Makina's route are treasures of humour. Majikoi. Another special prize for Miyako (Having said that, It is almost impossible to select one scene : there is too much fun in this VN) VA-11 HALL-A. Dorothy

When the dudes in Majikoi decided to peek at the girls in hot springs, but got caught by Momoyo, who asks them to let her come too

Well, I read it and quite enjoyed it! ^^ The story is pretty well written, creating a situation with a tough decision to be made and no obvious villain. Both heroes have their good and bad points and are likable characters overall (but I'm team Alto). Bonus points for the little MC customization (adds a personal touch to story) and the music that, while very simple, fits the game really well and I love these kinda things where there are subtle changes to the track when the mood of the scenes shift. Another good point is that even if it's short, the story feels more or less complete, and not just a prologue to some bigger project. My biggest complaint is not even something generally bad, just a stylistic choice that I particularly dislike: too many choices one after another, coupled with an affection points system. As I prefer to play without walkthroughs, figuring it out where something went wrong with this type of system is usually a nightmare (okay, this game in particular is pretty short so no real damage, but I kinda like when I see the results of what I picked before my next set of choices, I'm spoiled ), so I usually prefer less choices that activate some flags system or instant bad endings (I know the latter wouldn't really work here though). So guess in the end is kind of a tie? www Mnemonic Devices definitely have a better plot, development and conclusion, but I preferred Monochrome Blues art and choices (hey, we can give snarky responses to a bunch of 5 years old, what's not to love? ) But both dev groups have talent, cheers to them. I'm not giving a score just yet though because I still have a few endings to catch on Mnemonic

Start playing Shanimasu instead

I can't imagine it really disappointing anyone with love of android stories. But I'll be curious about your take on it. ^^

They pointed specific lines and what the errors were, from where i stand it's obviously just good old constructive criticism and shouldn't be disregarded as just hate from "big brained jops".

In this instance, they have presented evidence and concrete problems in the lines (I do not know Japanese, but those with cursory understanding of it could perhaps understand the evidence). This takes work and effort. It is most definitely not one of those instances you are referencing, where they claim the translation is bad and put no further effort into the criticism. This is constructive. As for whether the fact that the translation may have issues affects the experience of an English player, that is a different beast entirely, and not in question here.

It was only a matter of time before the big brain "JOP fan" picky critics stepped on in.

what are you guys even doing? does your QC know Japanese?

Whether BGM is good or not is a subjective matter, so I wouldn't sure if my recommendations here would be true or not. But if I need to picked four VNs, then I would say that Hoshiori, Daitoshokan, Sanoba Witch, and Sorcery Jokers would be good pick. If you want more, I guess there's Chrono Clock, Evenicle, and Rose Guns Days. I hope my recommendations here can answer what you want to see, even though it's a belated one.

I have not used any of these sites/ apps myself, but my friends tell me they are pretty good for meeting people in Japan, yeah. Even apps like Tinder apparently has several people just looking for friends/ conversational partners, specifically Japanese speakers wanting someone to speak English with and vice versa. The app can be used for something other than sex, who knew! I don't know how many old people you'll find on those apps, though, lol. Not a lot of elderly people who are good with technology over there. Good luck on your trip.

Not if I can stop it
