ittaku got a reaction from ztrepzilius in H-scene clichés
Here's a few I think may or may not have been missed:
"I started to feel like teasing her" from an otherwise gentle protagonist
Stopping stimulating her till she says what she wants by name
"My voice is coming out by itself"
It got even bigger
Women urinating after orgasm
Painful first experiences that always wane and turn into ecstasy
Insides that squirm like they have a life of their own
All semen is tasty or at least enjoyable because "it has your taste"
My mind went all white
I feel numb from pleasure
I'm going to feel strange
I want yours (not what, just whose) but that's just literal Japanese translation

I'm pleased to see more of the To Heart world getting attention, having translated To Heart 2 myself. Good luck with the project.

ittaku reacted to adamstan in What are you playing?
Yesterday I finished Clover Day's with Izumi's route.
@ittaku - you were right, this route was amazing ❤️ I'd say it was on par with Anzu's route when it comes to the plot - they could be called sister routes perhaps I mean, they feature similar themes and struggles - but this time it was about Izumi's family, instead of Yuuto's.
And Izumi as a heroine is absolutely lovely - one of the cutest tsunderes I've encountered so far ❤️
So, if I had to rank the routes it would be Izumi >= Anzu > Tsubame > Anri >>> Hekiru/Hikaru.
So, it makes for one meh route (H/H), one decent (Anri), one very good (Tsubame) and two outstanding ones (Anzu and Izumi) - not bad
There's decent presence of side characters throughout the rotes - big plus. It was especially pronounced in Tsubame's route Art looks very good, and I really like the character designs. Music is ok - nothing outstanding, but does the job.
I played Vita version, but I actually own PC version (standard one, not the Plus). While - at least when skimming through PC version - H-scenes weren't exactly up to my taste, I'm a bit disappointed with the all-ages edition, since it features no extra content at all, except the unlockable "extra scenarios", that are just 1-2 minutes long skits, similar to those in Majkoi's menu Even some additional CGs for "normal" scenes would be welcome, but there's nothing of that, it just skips the H-scenes, and that's all. Well, thank you, I could have done it myself with Ctrl key, and wouldn't have to struggle with some emulator glitches
But that's a minor complaint, and all in all I really enjoyed this VN - strong 8/10. (Would have been 9 if the two lesser routes - Anri and Hekiru - were of the same quality as the three better ones)
I think that - after a short break - I might try Tsui no Stella as my next read (unless some other title distracts me ).

Yesterday I finished Tsubame's route in Clover Day's
While not as rich plot-wise as Anzu's, it was very good. There was healthy balance of humor and drama, Tsubame is both hot and cute at the same time, and I really liked the whole acting club setting and parallels between the play they were doing and real life
Also, seeing Izumi in this route I couldn't help but think about
Now there's only Izumi's route left to read, and I'm really looking forward to it
-
ittaku reacted to adamstan in What are you playing?
Yeah, when looking from that POV, it's good to have it out of the way Luckily while weakest, it was still decent enough to keep me reading.
For the first few scenes in the common route I found Izumi rather annoying, but later she grew on me, and I'm really looking forward to her route
-
ittaku got a reaction from adamstan in What are you playing?
The H/H route is the weakest and adds little to the story, which is why it goes first. Izumi and Anzu score the most plot in their routes, arguably Anzu's the most, but I just prefer Izumi as a heroine which is why I leave it for last.
-
ittaku reacted to adamstan in What are you playing?
Okay, so yesterday I finished my third route in Clover Day's - it was Anzu.
So far the VN was very uneven for me. Common route was brilliant - like I said in my previous post. All heroines are lovely, and I really liked both the humor and the more serious bits. But then the first two routes I read - Hekiru/Hikaru and Anri - were slightly disappointing. Maybe my expectations were too high?
As for the Hekiru's route, I was really looking forward to it after what I've seen in common route. But
Anri's route was better - perhaps partially thanks to the side characters having bigger role. I really liked school election plot and the friendship with Mizuho. Gave me some Koichoco and Princess Evangile flashbacks What I didn't like about Anri's route was that it was relying too heavily on many Imouto x Oniichan tropes But all in all, it was decent - although I expected more.
And then Anzu's route hit - whoah, that was amazing 😮 It's hard to believe, that it was written by the same author as Anri's route.
Although I'm not sure, if it was right move to put this route in the middle, instead of the end - it had strong "true route" vibes, with it being more "Takakura family route" than "Anzu route". Nevertheless it was amazing nakigey story - no complaints here. And that plot twist with
Now, that's some KEY-worthy stuff ❤️
Now let's see what Tsubame's and Izumi's routes have in store for me

ittaku reacted to Formlose Gestalt in Nekonyan Announcements on AWA 2022
Since moege don't excite me much Mysteries of the Heart is by far the most interesting announcement for me. Aside from that Ready or Not: The Deadline is Coming! looks fun with the angle of VN creation and is something I could see my grab when I want to read something lighter.
-
ittaku reacted to adamstan in What are you playing?
Yeah, and from what I'm seeing so far, most of it has been kept in the console port (it has +17/CERO D rating actually +15, I confused it with HoshiOri) I know that it might be considered weird, but recently I prefer most of my moege (and even moreso nakige) without H-scenes I'm fine with sex jokes like those in this VN, or off-screen sex, like in Vita version of HoshiOri, but I don't enjoy reading most of the sex scenes themselves.
(When I'm in the mood for eroge, I tend to go for 3DOELVNs or some RPGM shovelware )
I think I'll go with this recommenadtion then - thanks
Currently I think I'm leaning towards Tsubame, but I'm still near the beginning, so it all might change
So we can expect some quality TL

Glad you're enjoying it; it's my favourite VN ever with just the right balance of moe, comedy, and a hint of naki.
I would suggest two alternatives:
Hekiru/Hikaru->Tsubame->Izumi->Anri->Anzu, or
Hekiru/Hikaru->Anri->Anzu->Tsubame->Izumi (my preferred)
for plot reasons, depending on which is your favourite pair of girls (as they are paired routes) and whether you want to do them last.
As for the sex, the game has a great deal of sexual innuendo outside the H scenes so if anything the AA version is very heavily cut; not the other way around. The game was written as an adult game to begin with and then modified for an AA version.
Disclaimer: I'm the translator for the official localisation with NekoNyan.

ittaku reacted to Clephas in Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi No Translation Project (Completed)
Keep in mind that Kamishino had over a decade to get translated, and yet it was only finished recently as a passion project. Moreover, though the initial translation was done some time ago, it was only recently that it was actually released. I imagine if a potential translator plays the translated version and wants the two remaining paths, it might be a possibility. However, keep in mind that most fan-translations fall apart for a reason, and those two paths are a prime candidate for manufacturing such a reason (they are unnecessarily long for the actual content contained within the path, as well as having a more H focus than the other four paths).

ittaku got a reaction from Dreamysyu in Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi No Translation Project (Completed)
I'm not. I'm the only person who could be bothered translating this game so I get the right to choose to translate whatever I want, and express what I like about it or not since that's my opinion. I am not obliged to do any fucking thing at all as a fan translator. You can take it or leave it.
-
ittaku reacted to Clephas in Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi No Translation Project (Completed)
As an answer to the question above, I'm not interested in tlcing the remaining two paths. I more or less agree with Ittaku about those two paths, from personal experience. In addition, those two paths are ridiculously long despite the lack of any real content to them, so in this case it really isn't worth the effort.
It is painful to read those paths, it would be even more painful to have to help translate them.

It seems people have misunderstood my reasons for leaving 2 routes out of the translation. It wasn't just because I couldn't find another translator, it's because those routes are really average compared to the wonderful routes that I was happy to translate. If they were good, I would have just translated them myself. In my opinion, the game is better without them.

The VN's worth is Miyabi's route. As long as it's translated, everything is fine. 😛
Like, seriously, the route is just so well structured and Miyabi is such a good character (+Liida!). I'm glad people will be able to play it!
Special mention to Shino who has one of the most memorable and romantic H-scene I've ever read. Still remember her dialogue to this day, 5 years later.
Now the question is: should I replay Miyabi route in English? 🤔

Oh hiya Pomelo! Fancy seeing you here!
Great you helped on this and great that it helped you into the Industry. Since I know where you work now would you DM me a smol image of your company logo you are affiliated with so I can add the flair to your name? Would be much appreciated!
Congratz for the release anyways!

ittaku reacted to Pomelo in Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi No Translation Project (Completed)
It's finally released! I feel pretty emotional about this, since it was my first ever editing job. I'm so grateful to both VS and Ittaku for letting me work on this project and allowing me to get my foot into the industry. (I doubt I would've had my current job if I hadn't worked on this and met the people I've met through it.)
To recap, I worked on the prologue, the main school common branch, and Miyabi's route. Unfortunately, due to time constraints (and the fact that I worked very slowly), I wasn't able to work on Tonoko's route, but I'm sure it'll still be great!
I also want to thank Marche100 for helping me out by editing the branch school common route, Yuuna's route, and Shino's route. I know he did a really solid job on those!
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it! I've been really looking forward to reading Yuuna's story.

Congrats on the release Ittaku! While it's the end of your fanTL era I'm sure people will be excited for what you have coming up officially 😉.
