    Fuwanovel's Battle of the Guilds!

    This seems pretty forceful and somewhat of a nerf for relics (though I suppose the saving grace would be the ability to check enemy facedown cards - at the cost of one of your turns.) It also makes you miss out on some mindgames, like playing a relic face-down in one of your districts. (I was also under the impression that relics were "carried" by agents and moving those agents would also move the relic, but I guess that's not it.)

     

    On the other hand, I kind of get the point about misguidedly carrying rounds on, and I suppose this might solve part of that (though people can always choose to not read this announcement as well...) I'd still prefer being able to place them facedown via private PM if bribe conditions are not met by their addition, but oh well, math is hard. Might be wrong, but feels like this is a further disadvantage to teams not playing last w

    Weren't we never allowed to use relics face down in the first place?

    Talking about the anime, I think one of the greatest moments for me was when they were creating a song together. I swear, the moment they all went outside because of the snow while trying to create a new song, I literally screamed: OH MY GOD, SNOW HALATION!

     

    If someone told me an idol anime could be this good, I doubt I'd believe it. 

    ^Yup.

    This anime really delivered.

    Rintastic nya~

    That's some deep stuff there Ceris. *Thumbs up*

    I don't think you should be ashamed about neglecting Rin....(actually, what?! You went through the WHOLE season 1 without knowing her name?!!!??!!!??!@?#!  :P)

    I, uh, unfortunately don't have any 'meaningful' reasons for my own list of favs but here goes:

    1. Maki

    2. Nico

    This was without anyone's influence btw. I just somehow gravitated to them. Then when I realized that these two lovelies were indeed Nosebleed's avatar+signature I was like OHHHH MY GOSHHHH  :lol:

    3. Honoka

    4. Umi

    5. Eli

    6. Nozomi

    7. Rin

    8. Hanayo

    9. Kotori

    Listing out everybody like this always does the ones at the bottom of the list little justice. Even though Kotori's at the bottom, she's probably just 1 point behind Hanayo, who's 1 point behind Rin, and so on in my book aka I love 'em all.

    Honoka Post \o/

    I was rewatching the 2nd season of Love Live when I noticed something. Ever since my first time watching Love Live, I've always held Honoka to a high regard, but in between rewatching the first season and me restarting the 2nd season recently, something happened, but I'm not sure how. My overall opinion of Honoka was declining very steadily. In my mind, I started to slowly see her as just a lazy, gluttonous member of the group with no unique traits. Somehow, my mind was poisoned with the thought that Honoka's personality was purely made just for the sake of needing a "leader" of the group, just being an genki "pull everyone with me" type of person.

    Just 5 episodes into my rewatch of the 2nd season, I realized I saw Honoka differently than I used to. She's not some immature girl who has a forced personality for the sake of being a leader, she genuinely has amazing characteristics that makes me respect her. Her serious side is something I always found amazing about her. I'm not good at straight explaining things, so I'll use examples.

    The first that came to mind when typing this was just before their performance in S2E3 of Yume no Tobira. After they saw A-Rise perform Shocking Party, the whole group just lost hope and started discrediting themselves. Honoka on the other hand, doesn't do her genki "we can do this!" cliche, she goes completely serious instead. She had given up once before, but was determined to not let the team fall to the same level she had. I just love how she didn't just give some generic genki speech before they started, no "we can do better", just a serious "let's do our best, we've got a chance here".

    That wasn't super significant, just somewhere to start off.

    I jumped ahead a bit with that, and linked it to an earlier scene. S1E12/S1E13 have always been one of my favorite episodes of Love Live. I've heard people complain about the "lame drama" in these type of anime, but I love these moments, and feels it's extremely good character development. Honoka's decision to quit always affects me whenever I think about it, it's such a powerful scene, and such a powerful thing for her character. Her longest lasting best friend was leaving, she had failed her entire group, and couldn't go on. She just gave up. And then E13 comes after Umi hit her, she had still given up. Her resolve for quitting wasn't weak enough for one person to convince her to stay with just one slap. And then, adding on to that, she's so afraid of letting her friends down again, she's hesitant to lead them towards the Love Live again with the thought of failing them again.

    As I started in my Rin Post a while ago, helping other people for just the sake of helping them is a HUGE plus to me, very few things can top it. Honoka displays this in Rin's episode, S2E5 (and I feel bad now for forgetting to include it in my Rin post). Throughout the episode, she's expressing concern over Rin. She was actually acting the part as a leader, helping guide her members to help each other in their problems. Another serious moment from her.

    The last example I will give is something that stuck with me since the moment it happened (I really don't know why, this is the least significant thing yet). The specific scene was with Tsubasa and Honoka when Tsubasa was talking about how A-Rise lost to u's. The whole time, Honoka was being serious, and extremely respectful to Tsubasa. And when Tsubasa asked Honoka what the driving force for u's was, Honoka got flustered, but DIDN'T make a stupid response from being flustered (as expected of a stock genki character), she took it completely serious and, again, very respectful of Tsubasa. She even calls Umi after and thinks about it for a while to try and find an answer.

    Everybody here has a UR and I'm the only one who doesn't. :( I don't know how to feel..... Not only that the ease in which some of you mention not using a UR is enough to make me depressed (because I don't have any and you guys are just like not wanting to use one because of skills or whatever)....

    Stupid rant aside, tomorrow maki event starts! Yes! I so can't wait to compete with other people (and possibly fail epically)!!!!

    Sorry about that. I was too excited when posting about my UR's that I wasn't being considerate to those of you who don't even have UR's yet. It's a shame because I just wanted to be able to go "Yay! Hi five!" with you guys like I did with Praeliator but instead I caused some people to be upset. I apologize and will refrain from posting these things in the future.

    Hi! XD

    My Name is Akeno . Figured I'd introduce myself and say I love this site! I love any site that helps promote english translated vn's and helps promote vn's in general.

     

    I've played many vn's (mostly eroges) and really enjoy them to an unhealthy extent.

     

    Anyway, I hope to get along with everyone! *^*

     

    It's never unhealthy to enjoy VN's :D

    What's your favorite so far?!

    I once did 3 accounts during a school week, but my weeks are only 4 hours a day for 4 days. While that is true, I will still NEVER do that again. I barely got the SR on the new JP one I started (that I ended up just tossing off to the side when 3 10+1s resulted in 5 SRs and no UR).

    On tuesday I used two tickets got two rares then 5 gems got another rare, then 10+1 draw got only one SR, then not sure maybe I put 15 more cause I had 25 total did 5 more draws but all of them were rares again :( so 8 single draws plus 11draw got only 1 SR... Same luck

    Not only aganist 10+1s I am aganist all draws at the moment T.T

    Yeah. Whether you go ten 10+1 draws and get nothing (except the guarantee) or 100 single draws and get nothing, it still will always be a nasty 1% UR and 9% SR rate T-T

    Edit:

    But I can see Nosebleed's stance on single draws. Committing 50 gems is alot for just 1 SR. If you can get lucky and get an SR/UR within 10 single draws, then that means you spent < 50 gems for it and can use the rest for events and such.

    Unless of course, you go 10+ single draws and don't get an SR, in which it would've been better to go 10+1 for the guarantee.

    All luck ><

    50 gem draws are worth it they said..

    You'll have better luck they said.....

     

    I'm never doing this again, not worth it.

     

    I'm like maki~chan, 50 gem draws just don't work.

    Yeah odds will always be against us; I just support 10+1 now since it was the 11th that gave me the Nico UR (I've gone through 10 single draws and nothing when I first started playing, and was like "If I had done 10+1, would the last card have been a UR" ><)

    Let's hope C9 can put up a decent fight.

    Update: C9 just took game 1 against Blue! woow

    These are some super, super nitpicky things that I've noticed regarding some of my walkthroughs, but I can't edit them soo....

    1) Remove "Walkthrough" from the Dracu-Riot! thread title to be consistent with the other thread titles

    2) Add "- Brighter than Dawning Blue -" to the Yoake Mae yori Ruri Iro na thread title

    First VN Kanon good idea?

    hmmm....  well I really liked true love (my fav eroge thus far) though it might be to old for people to remeber it, so i guess id have to say im into things like that i guess i like the whole school/college settings that are comedy and romance maybe a dash of fantasy ontop.  If that rings any bells ill gladly take suggestions

    In that case yeah, any Key novel (Kanon, Little Busters!, Clannad, Rewrite) will do for ya  :P

    First VN Kanon good idea?

    M'lord, that will mostly be based on your own preferences

    What are you looking for in a VN? Comedy? Tragedy? Slice of life? Thriller?

    I haven't personally read Kanon yet, but since it's a Key novel it probably has elements like group of friends, slice of life, romance, some drama and probably a lil' something to make your eyes water.

    It does have H-scenes apparently.
