Welcome to the Official Fuwa Anime Club!
 

 
The club is divided into two parts:
 
1.) The Normal Cycle:
 
Current Information (Cycle 9):
 
Current Cycle Time Period: 
 
Current Cycle Genre Stuido: Gonzo
 
Current Cycle Participants:
Stray Cat Shiko Joehawks12 Abyssal Monkey Zebhra Turnip Sensei Down Kosaki Kyrt Final Chaos Kendjin Keaton  
Current Cycle Recommendations/Selection:
Black Cat Rosario + Vampire VanDread Welcome to NHK Gankutsuou Tower of Druaga Desert Punk  
Step 1: Selection Phase
1.     Those who wish to participate will clearly state in their post that they wish to participate in each cycle.  Each cycle will have a particular theme or genre for the anime that will be viewed.
2.     Each participant (and only those participating in each cycle) is encouraged to put forth an anime title that they wish to watch. The recommendations can be either something you've seen or something you haven't seen yet but participants are committing to watch/re-watch whatever is chosen.  Recommendations must not be rated M and cannot be over 26 episodes in length.  Repeat recommendations are allowed.
3.     Of all the recommendations, 5 (or more depending on the number of participants with and extra voting option for every 3 people above 10) of them will be chosen by random.  After this, those participating in the cycle will vote for which of the 5 randomly chosen selections they wish to watch. 
4.     The person whose anime is chosen for the cycle will be allowed to pick the next genre/theme, but it cannot be the same genre as the previous cycle.
Step 2: Viewing Phase:
5.     All members will watch the selected (the one with the most votes at the end of the voting period) anime over a certain period of time (around 1 week for 14 episodes and less, 2 weeks for 15-26 episodes).
6.     Members are free to discuss and comment as they watch the anime or they can discuss it after they finished the whole series (this is a club for discussion after all!)
Step 3: Review Phase:
7.     After the viewing period is over, members that participated will rate various properties of the anime on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest).  These include:
Story Characters Soundtrack Art-style Enjoyment Overall 8.     Those who participated will are also encouraged to write a review/comment on the show (Length is up to the user).
9.     Other comments and discussion of the show (best character, worst character, etc.) are also encouraged.
10.  After the discussion period ends, the next cycle will begin at step 1.
 
Amendment 1: Every 3 normal cycles, a Mini-Movie cycle will be held.  There we will vote for and watch 1-2 movies in the same process of the normal cycle.  However, the winner of this cycle will not get any selection benefit (like in the seasonal cycle). 
 
2.) The Seasonal Cycle
 
The Fuwa Anime Club will also be watching one airing anime each season, here’s how it works:

Crusader Kings 2 and like... three different Fire Emblems. 'Cause strategy games.
 
(Genealogy of the Holy War, Path of Radiance, and Awakening for those who wanna know the Fire Emblems.)

Argh Zakamutt not you too x.x

Endless Legend is at -50% again today. GOTY in my book (and it's on quite a few critics' top 10s of 2014 too), every 4X player owes it to himself to at least try it imo.
 
(DISCLAIMER: Amplitude Studios don't pay me for hyping it everywhere I go. I wish they did though!)

Hi there,
 
I thought about making this thread to look back at my year 2014 and tell you something about it. So you can learn a little bit more about my humble person.
 
Well, I would say my "offline" year was pretty usual. I worked the whole year in the same job at the same company and thats good because mostly I like it. I've an interesting task and much freedom. It wasn't that challenging but it's okay (I like to have some stress).
 
My personal life was also the same. One thing that changed (offline ) was that I gained a new hobby which made my freetime more diversified. I've started to play golf (how snobbish ). It's fun and I kind of have a little talent for that. But I havent played a tournament till now so I'm still at the starting HCP 54.
 
Another thing that happened is that I discovered Go!Go!Nippon! on Steam at the end of winter in 2014 and totally get hooked by VN's with that. DAMN!!! I played it not because I was so much into Anime, Manga & Stuff (I was totally not) but because I always was a fan of the japanese culture and way of life. After 2 or 3 months I've tried several other Vn's, I finally made an account here and thats the reason you all now have to endure my existence (MUAHAHA). With that several other changes came to my life. At first i was sucked in the Love Live Universe by the game in July. After I loved the game that much I watched the Anime that lead to my addiction for animes. And in the last month I watched Nisekoi and loved that also, so I had to read the manga. And now I'm also sucked in by that. You see it's a vicious cycle I can't escape anymore. But I also don't want to escape that because I enjoy everything of it.
 
Thats the Review part I would say. Now to the thanks part. Therefore you have to know a little bit more about me. I'm a person who doesn't really enjoy it to be with other humans. Well, it isn't so that they don't like me or I don't like them (in contrast, I would say most people really like me, but only god knows why ). I'm just no real fan of humanity. Many people just cheat, lie and do nasty things. So I try to avoid it and have not really a bunch of friends, just acquaintance. My hurdle or beeing a friend is really high you have to know. I have 5 People i would call friends and all of them I know longer than 25 years. So that enough about that... What I really wanted to say is that I found here many people I started to like and maybe would call something like friends. I thought about listening them here but because I could forget something I will not. Everyone who feels adressed is the right one . To all of these thank you for that enjoyable second part of this year. It was a lot of fun and i'm thankful that you are here and chat with me. I hope that will go on in the next year.
 
Another thing to the site here. I was part of a bunch of community but none o them caught my attention like that one here (I think nowhere i made even 100 posts and here I'm almost at 500). Also to all the people at TS3 -> thanks for your time spending with me.
 
To summarize -> Thank you all for your beeing, I enjoyed every day and hope that will continue.
 
So and now to the Wishes part. I'm not a greedy person so that will be short. I'm just hope I will be happy.I hope I can go on here and enjoy it to be around and meet many new people. In my job life I hope I can clarify my future. Somehow I've some wanderlust and I think I'll try to get a job in some other country.
 
So I hope I didn't forget something or just wrote crap. IIf you have made it to that point -> Thank you for reading!!!
________________________________________________________
 
tl;dr: Thank you all !!! I think I jad a really good year and you were part of that.
 
And another fact... That thread I didn't made for my own. You all can post here your year and your wishes for the new one. Let us be a part of your thoughts.
 
And now... I wish you all a happy new year and don't party too hard to see you here around next year .
 
Edit: One thing i forgot. Thats the first Thread I created here so I hope you enjoy it ...

If you get all three required spirits for a spell and the character knows it, they WILL cast it. This will happen whether it's by coincidence (you don't touch the dice) or you force it into happening through manual dice bumping. Clicking on the spell in the spell list is just the cheaty way of doing it, which is why they take away all of your spirits when you do that. This is basically what I've been talking about. Bump the dice until the desired spirits are laying face up which is easy to do once you know the trick to cast the spells you want every time without losing any spirits. 
 
Romanesque quickly transforms from a weird and frustrating RNG-based dice rolling game into an actual skill game that takes hand-eye coordination and that kind of thing once it all starts to click in your mind. The RNG starts to matter a whole lot less once you get good at bumping the dice and figure out the good skill combos. The most random thing about it becomes the random placement of the objects, but you can still manipulate your luck by bumping the dice into ideal positions (e.g. shove one character's dice into a corner and spread out the other one's).
 
My end game and NG+ strategy right now is (don't read if you want to figure some stuff out on your own):



 
Oh and one other thing to note since I've seen some people ask about this elsewhere: Only the first three dice count for spell casting when doing manual bumps. Extra dice is only ever used for spirit generation and nothing else. The darker shade of dice is the original that needs to be manipulated to cast spells.

have some faith in humanity.
 
 
 
Oh wait...

Believe it or not, the forums are not the only part of Fuwanovel. This may surprise some of you, but there are plenty of us that do work for Fuwanovel, often without any help from the "Fuwa Staff". I feel that these people are just as much staff for the site as the Forum mods, and I would like to take a moment to recognize them. 
 
For starters, Zakamutt has almost single handily been carrying the Fuwa Gazette for a while now. He puts in a lot of effort to his Status posts and recruitment posts, aznd has been looking for a team fruitlessly for a while now. Not only does he work as the head of the blog, he also does a ton of the lifting on the official Fuwanovel twitter account, typically posting news at the same moment I do. He also just so happens to be the newest member of the Facebook team and has only screwed up one post to date. 
 
Next up is another blog staff member. JuicyYuuji just started today, but nothing caught fire and no deaths were reported. Indications are he will do just fine.
 
Down is considered one of the Fuwa Staff thanks to his moderation of the forums. He also does some off-forum work in the form of FuwaReviews and assisting in the Fuwanovel twitter account. I made him read School Days HQ, and he absolutely hated it. Despite that, he is moving on to the next review, like a trooper. A true survivor if I've ever seen one.
 
Ryechu reviews nukige and forced me to read ToS agreements to see if we could even post the reviews. Turns out we can. Fuck you censorship. He doesn't just review nukige for FuwaReviews though. He also took on Cho Dengeki Stryker and Magical Witch Diary or something. He also likes Raichu. 
 
No man insults Nohman, the third and final reviewer for the FuwaReviews team. He turns out some really good stuff and obeys my every command. You may also know him as Bill Murray, but I know his true name for those curious. 
 
Nayleen is next up here. Fuck if I know what he does, but sometimes he breaks things, other times he fixes them. Just depends how much he's been drinking. He does some of the coding for Fuwanovel, so if anything seems broken, you know who to blame. 
 
All hail the king of forum spam, Nosebleed. When he isn't posting 100 times a day on the forums, he makes Facebook posts for the page. Usually, he has to go in and answers questions that I reply super sarcastically to. We still await the day when Nico Nico Nii shows itself on the FB page. It will happen.
 
Ryouuuuu/Kyouuuuu might not be able to decide on what his name is, but thats alright. We forgive him anyway. Our resident Facebook Key specialist, if there is Key news about, he is on the case. 99% of my skype messages from him are usually along the lines of "Angel Beats hyyyppeeee!!!!!"
 
Beato is listed as a forum mod, but those pretty game download pages, thats her work. She is the one to usually get those pages up and running. We don't know much of her true nature, but as a Swede, I can only assume she controls Tay like a puppet. 
 
dale is the reason you can fap to a high amount of seeds when downloading games. As the owner of the seedbox we use, nothing gets seeded without his permission. A warning to all lolicons. 
 
For your podcast needs, look no farther than OriginalRen. Even if the episode count is out of order, rest assured you'll find plenty of interesting things in the episodes. Inner workings of the Fuwa staff, interviews with translators, and discussions with regular members all appear at one point or another. 
 
There you have it. Most of, if not all of the Fuwanovel Staff. These guys work off the forums on the real parts of Fuwanovel. Please give these people some thanks and support for what they do off the forums as I feel they are often overlooked on Fuwanovel. 
 
If I forgot anyone else, please let me know. As much as I try to keep up with the staff, sometimes someone will slip through the cracks, especially with all the new changes. 

Judging by the number of people viewing this thread, this will sell pretty well for Sekai. 

Week 34

Weekly Line Progress: 777
Resumption from week off after Shiori's route's completion.
Beginning of Nagisa's route.

Don't expect anything.   It is a guilty pleasure without progress more or less. 

Don't worry, they put the second part of Alnoah/Zero/10 in the time slot instead

If I remember correctly, those who pre-ordered the game back then should also get the STEAM keys for the all-ages version when it's out. Either that, or everyone who bought the game.
 
Told you.
 
After playing Romanesque, you'd wish more visual novels would be at least of similiar quality. Story aside, the dice minigame is propably one of the most enjoyable parts. Back then I used to spend hours, trying out different spell combos to score as much as possible. If I remember correctly, one japanese player even managed to crash the game this way. I wonder if they fixed it by now

I couldn't agree more, I've been having such a blast with it. The game is an absolute delight. I really can't think of much in the way of criticisms right now.

WHOA! This game is unexpectedly good. Really, really good.
 
The english is seamless, the writing is hilarious, the sim gameplay is really fun without being heavy on stats or ultra-complicated, the art is original, the characters are diverse and interesting, it's been a very long time since I've been hooked on a VN like I have with Romanesque. Every fan of sim games should give this a try!

I have now finished the first three episodes and am reporting now since it's finally intrigued me and gotten my interest.
Up to episode 3



Now... Onto watching more!

I've enthusiastically started Littlewitch Romanesue. That game is gorgeous. 

this is what my original looked like, i didnt know there was an orginal of my original xD..

Update 21/12: Gakuto QC at 100%
Also, I've gotten hold of 3 slaves (twdarkeh, NhKPaNdA, and CryingWestern) to do some of the patching, so side-route patching is now in progress.

I can recommend Long Live The Queen too. It was worth the money I spent on it.

I had such high expectations on the movie. It didn't deliver. Too much animated. Orcs, battles, characters and effects. A lot of things were unrealistic and gave me that "wtf moment". For example 

I can recommend Long Live The Queen too. It was worth the money I spent on it.

This is the first Sekai Project KS I'll be sitting out on. I really don't like Grisaia very much aside from the common route of the first one. I simply don't have the money this time of year to blindly support any and all Sekai Project Kickstarters when I have no interest in the product. Luckily it looks like my pledge won't be needed anyway.

Really, the only way I pledge is if the second strech goal is hit. I want to see what other platforms they have in mind. If its Vita, I'm all in. 

Well If my heart had wings are recommended and butchered by both sides. If you tolerate horrible English you can enjoy it. I did at least. All ages version exists. I also recommend World End Economica. But I don't know if we should list licensed games?
