    Okay guys, time for some updates.
    The entirety of this month, July, was spent on doing tech work. And for their great successes and achievements with this, you can all send your thanks to @marcus-beta and @Casual_Scrub. They alone really did a lot, lot more than anyone else involved with this project did so far. I am really grateful for their active support for this project, and I wish I could say the same kind of progress was made for the other parts of the project.
    But alas, other than the great progress on the tech stuff, I must admit we didn't do much for the translation of the H-scenes. Not only that, but we may have also hit a roadblock in this project at the moment. Namely, our TLer got busy with real life issues and won't have time to work on this anymore. That means we practically don't have a TLer now. And that's why, if you know anyone who'd be interested in helping us to translate this, we'd be grateful if you could point that person our way. We're right now looking for a TLer, but in case we don't manage to find one, not all is lost. The final solution will be to just MTL all H-scenes and release the patch like that. It's not a perfect solution, but at least Noratoto will be uncensored that way.
    Thank you for your continued support.

    Just letting everyone know that, from now on: Requests for walkthroughs or threads with nothing more than a link to other walkthroughs should be tagged with [REQUEST] in the title, and should not have 'walkthrough' in the title, so as to not create false hope or confuse internet searches.

    Finished the VN last night
     
    Overall I liked it. 
     
    I would say its biggest strengths are:
    * All the characters are pretty likable and funny, outside maybe one prominent character in Mimari's route who was written to be unlikable
    * It has some nice feel good/emotional moments throughout
    * Unique enough setting with the plane fighting and stuff to make it stick out from other galge.
    * Character development is decent enough for each character.
     
    I'd say its biggest weaknesses are:
    * Romance seems slightly rushed in each route
    * The routes are obviously formulaic: Route starts -> Romance starts -> H-scene + SoL x3-5 -> Drama outta nowhere -> EPIC PLANE FLIGHT
    * While not as bad as say... Muv-Luv every so once in a while the plane explanations are a little too long-winded for a plane noob like me who isn't particularly into fighting planes.
    * Nahoko and Hikari's voice acting volumes aren't balanced very well with the otehrs and there's no way to adjust individual character volumes.
     
    Some other thoughts that are more like observations:
    * It has a slightly unique art style. While still anime style, all the drawings are... stencil-y?
    * Those H-scenes are loooooonnnnnnnnnggg
    * Only 1 choice mattering, I don't particularly whether choices really count as long as the story/characters are good
     
    Overall Character Rankings
    Kazusa > Hikari > Mimari > Nahoko

    Kazusa- I've stated multiple times but from the beginning but I was VERY impressed with how they handled her as a tsundere. Very reasonable and willing to admit her mistakes and be openly caring of others while still having the typical tsundere trait of being dishonest with her feelings to allow for decent development. 
    Hikari- I thought she would be a generic optimistic ditzy character... well she still basically was by the end but I actually like the way her character was executed in terms of motivating the rest of the team. Also she was pretty funny and a surprisingly good troll humor wise. Sadly she herself didn't develop much.
    Mimari- The closest thing to a mysterious/kuudere character. While she did have her blunt side, she mixed it with otherwise being very friendly for the most part and only being harsh to people who really deserve it. Her bluntness provided some good humor. Her past was clearly the most deep and interesting.
    Nahoko- She had some funny moments and is likable enough but she felt oddly... underused even though she was supposed to be the leader? Even in her route I liked the concept of her development but some parts were executed oddly.

    Overall Route Rankings
    Hikari > Kazusa > Nahoko > Mimari
    Hikari- Arguably the most simple route, Hikari herself doesn't have too much development BUT you get to see the positive motivation she has on everyone the most here and it's really nice to see. Also her backstory related to her plane was the cutest. Her development with her plane was the most memorable to me as well.
    Kazusa- Mostly carried due to the fact that Junichi and her had the most interactions in the common route due to their living situation so them getting together quickly actually kinda made sense. Her development being centered around her insecurities was nice.
    Nahoko- As stated in her character writeup, I like the idea of her development in her route related to working herself hard to not knowing what she wanted to do and related to her and Junichi not being officially together right away. But... some parts were executed weirdly. Still enjoyed it.
    Mimari- Her route had arguably the most plot relevance in terms of characters involved in a way that felt like a true route. I personally wasn't a big fan of the typical running away from an arranged marriage trope being the main plot. It caused MImari herslef to not have room to develop in an interesting way outside using her Grandma's plane temporarily. Still was overall decent.

    Overall H-scene Rankings
    Kazusa > Mimari > Nahoko > Hikari
    Won't go into much detail besides Kazusa's were much better than everyone else's. If you wanna know more details just PM or @ me or something.

    Overall Plane Rankings
    A6M5 Type Zero Model 52 > Kyushu J7W Shinden > Spitfire LF mk.lXc > Ki-46 III Otsu + Hei > Ki-44 Shoki
    Zero- I like the specs and features of it the most. Also has the cutest relations to the plot/route.
    Shinden- Kinda unfair due to plot and MC relevance but can't beat that speed and firepower.
    Spitfire- Mostly for the plot/route relevance.
    Ki-46- Has an interesting design.
    Shoki- Least memorable.

    Characters I want a route of most Rankings
    Akane > Katou > Saiko > Haruka > who cares
    Akane- I usually like down to earth girls who have potential to be fun. Not sure where her development would be though.
    Katou- A very confident girl who would have interesting developments Id imagine.
    Saiko- Seems like the obvious choice but... she did have more of an obsession with machines and god what the fuck are those boobs size wise
    Haruka- She's nice and all but given when happens in Kazusa's I would feel bad.

    It's Counterattack Time! (Sadly not on YouTube at the moment, may have to fix that myself)

    Final Rating
    TDLR If you like slice of life feel good VNs and don't mind a touch of fighting plane action, recommend.
    7.5/10, rounds up to an 8.

    Done with Little Busters! I finished it off by winning the baseball match, which was surprisingly easy after clearing all routes. When I tried it during my first playthrough, I got my ass handed to me, but now I won without the opposing team scoring a single point.
    The baseball minigame itself feels like wasted potential. It's fun at its core, but there are two things that ruin it for me:
    1. The damn cats. Don't get me wrong, I find it kinda funny how they mess around on the field, but I hate how the gameplay pauses every time one of the cats are hit by a ball, because Rin has to make a comment about it. Considering how often it happens, it gets repetitive really fast and wastes a lot of time.
    2. The fact that they use separate windows for the field and where your character is. It can be pretty hard to get the swing timing right, since the ball reaches you basically at the same moment it becomes visible in the character window, and you can't really use the field window as a reference when trying to hit the ball either, due to how zoomed out it is.
    If they just addressed these things, it would be much more enjoyable. It could actually make for a pretty decent mobile game.

    Aaanyway...
    This is most definitely one of my best VN experiences so far. Despite the extensive play time, it managed to keep me entertained for the entirety of the VN, unlike Grisaia no Kajitsu, which I also consider one of my favorite VNs but still frequently lost interest in during the common route.

    I'm feeling a bit ambiguous about the true ending, though.

    Sure, but you can just save yourself the trouble and buy it uncut on JAST, which is kind of my point. Not to mention, this way new customers won't know that there is a patch, as there is no mention of it on their website. Seems utterly pointless to me, as they already have their censored games on Steam. Why buy from this sore when you can buy A) the uncensored game on JAST or B) exactly the same version on Steam.
    The payment processor issue is clearly fixable, as Denpasoft, JAST, Fakku etc etc are all already selling eroge. They clearly chose some processor that's overly strict on adult content, and that's their own fault. They are selling eroge. What the hell are they going to do with games like Nukitashi? That game physically cannot be sold in an "all-ages version." You have no game left at that point.
