Currently watching Sakurasou no pet.

This thread is a list of the VN pages here on Fuwa that are going to have their torrents taken off, torrents that have already been taken off of their VN pages, or are most likely going to have their torrents removed from their pages.  I heard that officially licensed VNs, like Grisaia no Kajitsu and Planetarian, are going to have their torrents removed sometime in the future, so I started wondering what other VNs might have their torrents no longer listed here.  I originally started this thread in the hopes that I could get a full list from a mod or an admin, but now I'm using it to compile all of the info in one easy-to-find thread.  Since Fuwa is where I go to find VNs, even if I can't torrent them, I'd still like to know which ones I can't get from Fuwa or other places similar to it so I can legally purchase them.  Since I'm only one person, any help, be it finding which VN torrents that are going to be taken down or might be taken down in the near future, sharing sites where you can legally purchase copies of the localized VNs, or providing sources (preferably posts/messages by an admin/mod) to prove that they will indeed be taken down in the future, is greatly appreciated.  Feel free to post any relevant info in this thread, and I'll add it to the list, and your username to the "Thank You!" list.
 
Anything I put in the "Likely to be Removed" section isn't necessarily going to be taken down, it just means that a localized version is available for purchase.  Fuwa's stance on localized VNs seems to be eventually removing the torrents after a localization is announced (here are several posts by Tay, our beloved overlord, confirming this stance: Post 1, Post 2).  If I can get confirmation that a torrent will be removed or a statement that it will not be removed, I will update this thread accordingly, either moving it to the "Will Not Be Removed" section if it's here to stay, or moving it into the "Will be Removed" or "Removed" sections depending on the status of its removal.
 
Also, just to clarify, I'm not a mod or an admin, just a regular user compiling info.  I can't actually add or remove anything.

Thank You!  maefdomn, madvanced, Beato, Rooke, Kendjin, Zakamutt and schboomer (for running the Visual Novel Aer newsletter/blog/whatever its classification is)
Special thanks to Beato and Kendjin for letting me bug them about what VN torrents will be removed in the future and pointing out any that I missed.  You both are amazingly helpful and patient!
 
(Won't be posting links to other torrents in this thread, only locations/sites to legally obtain copies.  You can ask for one in Downloads and Requests forums.)

Just know that it's still being worked on and wait, if you hear nothing in a year then there's likely a massive issue, otherwise just sit back, grab a cup/pint/liquid measurement of your favourite beverage and wait... likely while doing something else
 
doing things this way let's the guys working on it feel less pressure and get less annoyed, allowing for a more pleased translation crew that will likely feel better working on the next patch/release they plan
 
this is coming from a guy who had to do all of the soundwork (including a voice-over) for a production piece while having a group of people breathing down his neck

Of course you can discuss lolis here. Fuwas loli loving communty would gladly convert or discuss it with you I guess.

Time to liven things up with some Fairy Tail music.

This person does the best extended versions of the soundtrack BTW. 

O.K. here we go. 
 
There are two different categories of defining human. One we previously discussed, biology, if you are able to mate with others of the same species then you are a human.  But that's to easy an answer for most people so let's examine the other option, culture.  
 
Many people will say "what is culture?", here is the definition that I was taught: Culture: The system of shared beliefs, values, customs, behaviors, and artifacts that the members of society use to cope with their world and with one another, and that are transmitted from generation to generation through learning.  Typically a culture would contain these 4 components:
symbolic composition, systematic patterning, learned transmission, societal grounding. Because there are so many different cultures in the world, there is no universal standard for what is necessary to make one, however things such as knowledge of how to act as a member of a particular society, knowledge of what is expected of an individual in a particular group, and knowledge of what actions are considered right and wrong for a particular group are common and probably the closest thing we have as a standard. 
 
Addressing the issue of differences between animals and "why can't animals have culture".  The prevailing thought today is that animals look only too their own survival and fitness while humans do not.  Picture a firefighter for example.  He risks his life every day to save people that are total strangers to him.  Aiding these people do not increase his biological fitness in any way yet he still risks life and limb to save them.  There is cooperation among animal groups but there is nothing to this degree, which is why many people still hold that it is the defining factor of humanity.  
 
Addressing the person who is brain dead, I believe that since they still had a life and learned a culture they were human.  Whether they continue being human after is tough to say but I would probably go with no on the cultural view but yes on the biological view because is most cases they can reproduce fine. 
 
As for whether or not criminals and psychopaths are still humans, I would say yes, on both accounts.  They are able to sexually reproduce and are they have a specific culture, although it may go completely against what you believe. They know how to act a a member of their "own" society, and they have their own expectations and sense of right and wrong, as well so they fit into some minute, abstract not accepted cultural model, but it's still a culture.  I can honestly see this one argued either way though. 
 
Hopefully people read this far. 

Purple Master race
 
There's no super deep meaning behind it, i think it's visually appealing, it's a color that's also not easily found in the nature in your everyday life, that makes me feel like it's rarer in a way, as a kid I've always liked purple as well because i usually never encountered the color so when I saw it in the wild I thought it was beautiful, it's just unique like that to me.
 
Actually searching for the symbolism of purple I found out that the color purple is used as a mourning color in some countries as opposed to the tipical black.
 
Due to its rarity in nature and difficult synthetization (talking about older times not present time) it used to be attributed to emperors and popes only.
 
Purple is only present in 2 flags in the entire world.
 
 
So I guess purple is like the diamond of the color spectrum  

I personally love OP. It is one of my all time favorites. Yes it is a lot of episodes and the art is somewhat mediocre but it is a ongoing anime since 1999. So if you can watch anime with decent animation (remember the quality 14 years ago) I would say it is something you should watch, why?
 
Before you continue reading. Read the manga if you don't got enough time. You should like or at least watched some other shonen (Fairy Tail, Naruto, DBZ or Bleach as example) and enjoyed it otherwise I don't think you can enjoy OP.
 
1. An epic story which in my case gives me goosebumps now and then, and still does. I personally think the world and settings are interesting enough to keep me entertained. You never cease to be surprised sometimes. And the world is HUGE.
 
2. The fights. I think the fights are some of the best. Yes the "friendship overcome everything" is pretty cliche but if you can tolerate that you will enjoy it. 
 
3. A shonen with the friendship and setbacks it can be. I think OP got a decent development of the characters too. 
 
4. The characters. You actually become one with them. You feel what they do and gets moved by it.
 
5. The belief that dreams can come true no matter what. And Heart!
 
Maybe a bit too much fanboy although I don't consider myself one.

Finished Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. What an awesome anime, definitely a masterpiece.

Laptop peasant.

I am already buying what I can with the money I earn. Mangagamer and JAST on the Internet for example and random stuff on conventions etc. 
 
I know I am doing something illegal when I DL an anime but I can't afford to buy every single thing. It's the same with western games and movies. I pay for what I think it is worth paying for and the rest will be DL when a decent torrent is available.
 
I think my anime/VN collection could be worth thousands of dollar. I saw an animestore with animes/movies etc. on a recent convention which I thought I could buy an anime with 24 episodes (Girlz und Panzer) for 400 kronor (around 60 dollars). Just imagine me buying the whole Naruto, One Piece and Fairy Tail. I would be ruined.
 
Crunchyroll and such sites isn't an option at the moment either. They lack a lot of titles (not that big of a thing) and they got license restrictions in my country. I would gladly use a site and pay for it just like I do with Spotify if the supply was good enough.
 
I don't see myself as a criminal in that aspect. I am trying to get my stuff legally but it is so hard. So in lack of good options I piracy a lot.

They are well made and I am grateful for it. My signature is from Meogii too.

The plot twist is that Lanaya keeps too many secrets and Rylai is just a cold bitch.

First two movies are the series with some less scenes and some different (upgraded?) backgrounds and visuals on a few occasions. Fans are going bonkers about them being a different timeline or whatever bullshit Shinbo or Urobuchi hinted at but who cares.
The third movie is good, watch it after the series.

It didn't.
 
 
#JoinTheResistance

I got a few things I like doing except the obvious anime, VN and manga part. 
 
I like history. The Roman Empire, Renaissance era, the Middle Ages, the Mongols, China, Japan, the World Wars, the Swedish Empire and so on. I could go on...
But I also like reading (preferably about history or fantasy). I also like soccer and I am still following my favorite team no matter what. I also play a lot of games (preferably strategy/RTS/TBS) or watching competitive gaming (Dota 2).
 
Not enough hours each day.

*Slaps*
 
Wait for autumn to arrive until you hype. 

Nothing to do here. *Flies away*

That annoying moment when you have an utterly average Danish voice and accent. -.-

So I just finished this video. I've wanted to make videos for quite some time now, and after seeing Rens loyalty and passion to this site, i figured I'd make something for it too.

Of course, this is all just for laughs. Don't take anything here seriously
And if you have any sort of criticism, do NOT share it. I already have a (coach? teacher? Instructor?...Senpai? I dunno what you call it) for that.
 

 
And thanks for Ashadow for being very patient with me, and for answering all my questions and requests (Sugoi, Ash-senpai!). If you don't know him... wait, you DON'T KNOW HIM?!?! See here http://www.youtube.com/user/Ashadow700
 
ps: i think the title should be edited to have (video) in it...

Rice.

Indeed. Good I am not alone. I would feel bad otherwise.

THIS IS VERY RIGHT!!!! Arabian r such a nice people...i have 3 Arabians in my circle and whenever Ramadan coming they asked us to join a feast when they could eat in evening.They r such a nice people.
I really hate it when people avoided my friends just because they are Arabians.
i think this is where "Dont judge the book by its cover" really applies.
