Finished the main story of Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon yesterday. It really felt on par with the DS titles, and overall a very entertaining experience. I'm very happy with it.
Still not better than Explorers of the Sky though. That game is a masterpiece in my eyes
I'll try to end the postgame these days, and maybe I'll 100% it eventually.

Honestly, this has been known for a while, and isn't anything new. People who really, really care, already have an imported Japanese 3DS or have already CFW and gotten out of region lock to play japanese games. To the vast majority of the rest of us, as long as the story makes sense, and is close enough between translated versions (IE german, english, french, etc. Basically EU) we could care less. You think that the gamecube fire emblem games probably didn't have an entirely rewritten script? You must be silly.
Sure, you can get up in arms about it, being that this is a japanese translation community, but it really doesn't change the fact that this has been going on for literally decades. Old news is really old. All that matters at the end of the day is consistency when talking about the game with friends. It would be extremely amusing if they did screw with the EU versions though. That would be a social experiment in action right there.
You're right, there's been no way for me to know how other games have been changed in the past. That's only the more reason for me to keep studying Japanese so that I can begin playing JP games and VNs.
If I get fired up now of all times is because it's easier nowadays to compare all versions, and because I developed my own ideas about how translations should be done. I honestly believe they went too far with this game, regardless of how script changes have been done in the past.
That being said, my biggest complains about Fates were already about the JP game, seeing how it's basically Waifu Emblem now. Fire Emblem games as I used to know them are pretty much dead regardless of translation
Sorry for the rant though, I felt like I had to express my thoughts a little.

I don't think this thing has been posted or discussed yet. Have a look at it. (USA official TL on the left, fan TL on the right).
As someone who wants to work as a translator, this makes me want to vomit. I really want to punch whoever is responsible for this. NoE had better make up for it, 'cause I'm not paying jack for this piece of shit TL work.
There, I raged over it. Now I'm feeling better.

Don't expect to win so easily, I've been practicing this sport for 10 years

B-but you can't know that for real until you try! Don't you watch anime? We need to follow its clichés!

Y'know, I thought I was gonna go into a VN drought, but something just popped up in my mind.
(no Zeno, srry, it's not Fate/Stay 
)
Ever17
e: Also picking up a side of Neko Para Vol.2Oh snap. I'm already looking forward to it.
Though the Zero Escape games are better, Ever17 was amazing. Just be aware that the beginning is pretty slow, but when you get to Tsugumi's route (which you should probably read last) and the true route, you'll see why this VN is extraordinary.

Meanwhile, slowly but surely, I'm advancing with Umineko. I expect to finish Chapter 6 by the beginning of march.

5 bucks it doesn't come to the west.

Got Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon yesterday. Pretty enjoyable so far, although I heard it's still not as good as Explorers of the Sky.
The narration and characterization is pretty good, and the (European) Spanish localization is really amusing. Gameplaywise it feels very much like DS Mystery Dungeon games, which is good. The beginning of the game, however, feels a little easier, so I hope difficulty scales properly.

It looks extra fluffy. 10/10 would hug all day.

@Ike wait, was Dio your first first FIRST ending, as in you didn't even reach the other Dead Ends?
If so, you're a Phi tool for betraying Luna and Clover your first time around ._.Betraying Clover hurt so much, 100x more than Luna, and seeing Sigma trying to guilt-riddled justify himself was just sad >.>
Btw, you're good luck Ike, cuz I stumbled on Dio's end, and indeed, don't understand jack, but we can always return to this later...Yep. I got it before any other ending, including dead ends. I decided I'd trust Phi and kinda rolled with it 'til the end
I remember writing down the number you're given in that ending in the Memory of the game, and it doesn't come into play until waaaaaaaay later, so I pretty much couldn't use one of the two Memory pages you're given for anything else
I'm wondering, does the Vita version have only two Memory pages, too?

"Why don't you come to the planetarium?
The beautiful twinkling of eternity that will never fade, no matter what.
All the stars in the sky are waiting for you."Yes, I had to do it.
On a serious note, planetariums are cool af. I've been in some before and they're a great experience. Now I'm jealous

Whaaaat, more Dead Ends? Jeebus, can I get an ending yet ._.
An ending you can get straight away from the beginning is Dio's, but it has a ton of info you're meant to understand later in the story. I won't tell you how to get it, obv, but it was the first one I got when I played and I hope you don't stumble upon it any time soon.

On another note, I finally finished Chapter 5 of Umineko!
SpoilerI already knew Battler would become a sorcerer, but holy shit I didn't expect him to figure out the truth and become the Game Master
Though judging by the start of Chapter 6 he still managed to screw up Meanwhile, I still have no idea of what that truth is, but I've had for a while the theory that Beato's "identity" is Maria, but I have little evidence.
I might be able to finish the whole VN by the start of summer vacation.

Whoa nobody been playin' VNs since Tuesday huh
~~
Clocked in a couple of hours in Zero Escape VLR, I'm at like Magenta -> Ally -> Ally cuz we all know Luna's a good girl and I'll hate to replay to choose Betray next time ._.
But anyway,WTF IS GOING ON1@#!@#!@
WTF IS THAT LIL' SHIT QUARK UP TO
WHO THE FK IS K
WHAT'S UP WITH GRAMPS
FK DIO
OMG ALICE DIED, I THOUGHT SHE WAS INVINCIBLE ALL-ICE
D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW LUNA DIEDDD NOOO BEST GRIL ;-; ..........5 BUCKS IT WAS CLOVER
WHAT??? CLOVER AND GRAMPS ARE DEAD NOW, THAT LEAVES K AND DIO AS THE POTENTIAL PERPS, though I'm sure this whole shitfest was just one giant chain reaction after another.
Speaking of Clover, her death hurts so much, it's like she fking survived the events of 999 just to die here ._.
~~
Though, Mr. Gaulem did mention that a functioning Gaulem would be completely indiscernible from a real human being.......... so who knows if the people that are dying are actually dying
I have a freaking 3-day weekend and it's NOW, on saturday night, that I have time to open a VN
I didn't sign up for a social life.~~
I honestly don't remember shit about what you're currently reading in VLR
I need ro read it again one day, 'cause I only remember the main plot. Glad it's breaking your mind, though -

I want Raku to end up with someone other than Chitoge. I mean, can you imagine the internet's reaction? Reddit would probably explode.
Yes, I just want to watch the world burn.
---
On a serious note, even though Chitoge is the obvious choice, the whole development of all characters feels good, the series is still funny, and I don't regret a single minute of the time I've spent catching up with the manga last holidays.
PS: Marika best grill.

Yes, Sono hanabira and Lillium X Triangle are both very good for yuri with good H-scenes. Lillium X triangle has really nice, moe-ish art style with really adorable chracters.
Sono Hana, (which has more than 10 translated games, so you have a lot to pick from,) has a good art style with a LOT of H-scenes in each game. I recommend starting with Yuuna x Nanami, which is games 1 and 6.
Katahane which was suggested above is a really good yuri VN, but its H-scenes are not the primary aspect of it. They also come quite late in the story, (and not all of the game is yuri,) so if you are just looking for good H, Katahane is not the VN you are after.
Lastly, I havent played it yet myself, but not long ago denpasoft lisenced a new yuri VN, https://vndb.org/v15944
Its short and the art seems nice, so you could give that a try as well.
Moe is love, moe is life
Thanks for recommending which SonoHana VN to pick first, btw.
Oh, and I wouldn't turn down a yuri VN just because it has little/no H content. I'm looking for that now, but I woudn't discard reading those later. Actually, I'll probaly pick one of those when I'm done with Umineko. Shorter stories will be much welcome after 100+ hours invested in a single VN.
-
I think I'll give Lilium x Triangle a go first since it's short, and then I'll check SonoHana series. Turns out I already heard about these series before, but I didn't know the name. Two birds, one stone, I guess.
Thank you for your suggestions

I'm looking for a yuri VN that has good h-scenes. You know, for science
Lately I've been reading Ultimate Boob Wars for this purpose, but I'm pretty much done with it, and I thought I'd love to have some yuri next.
I'd much rather read a translated VN, but if you know of a very good untranslated one, I might be able to work my way around it.
-
I would recommend eden*. It's short, it's enjoyable, it doesn't stick to the usual cliché of a 17 year old MC in highschool... And it has overall a very good quality. I recommend this one to many people, actually.
I decided I'd read it after watching the opening, so in case you haven't seen it, take a look:
SpoilerUmineko is also amazing in many ways, and I'm not even done reading it, but unless you have shit loads of free time, finishing it will take you a few months at least.
-
Very interesting data, for sure.
I definitely tend to go for the longest and highest rated VNs out there. My average VN takes a full 29 hours, and I read slower and less often than other people. No wonder my list has only 19 entrys since I started reading VNs.
-
A feature I love about VNDB, though not very big, is the random quote that appears at the bottom of most (if not all) pages of the site. By clicking on it you go to the entry of the VN the quote is from.
Sometimes you see a quote you didn't remember from something you already read, or realize how weird it's out of context. I've spent hours reading those quotes on boring days

I actually prefer Jill too I just wanted to use a male character for my avatar. Your avatar's pretty nice too, though I find it amusing that you've got a picture of Roy when your name's Ike. Anyways I am actually a native English speaker, but I'm Canadian so I guess we have a bit of a different accent from Brits or Americans who you're probably more used to hearing.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely try to slow down and speak more precisely in future videos.
Yep, not used to hearing Canadian English, definitely.
btw, you're not the first one to point out mi nick/avatar. I probaly shoud've just stuck a picture of a moe girl instead of Roy

Welcome to the comunity~
Nice avatar btw, although I personally prefer Jill over Haar
The review is pretty good, I enjoyed watching it. You really got me with the "definitely not Archer"
I'm guessing you are not a native English speaker, right? (I am not one myself, so I may be wrong) I had no problem understanding anything you said, don't worry, but I bealieve talking a little slower and focusing on pronunciation would improve your videos.
Anime with ultimately satisfying endings
in Anime/Manga Talk
Posted
Some animes that meet your requirements after checking my MAL:
F/SN Unlimited Blade Works - It's not too long, enjoyable to watch with amazing animation and a happy ending that feels pretty well closed. I haven't read the VN though, so I can't compare it to the original story.
Gosick - Amazing mistery story that connects its arcs very well, with likeable characters and, again, a closed happy ending.
Nagi no Asukara - A lot of slice of life and romance, so the story has a lot of ups and downs, but it ends well.
Hanasaku Iroha - Slice of life again. The ending is not AS closed compared to the other recommendations, but it is happy.
The one I'd probably recommend the most is Gosick. It's enjoyable all the way through and it left me with a nice feeling of completion; I wouldn't ask for more episodes.
