I'd probably watch a whole season of this, if it was a thing...

We ended up with quite a lot of members. I will now start writing the first chapter, and I´ll release it sometime this week.

I look forward to it.

if this is not heartwarming then I don't know what it is (spoilers ahead)

You're right, but what you have to go through before the end

Wow. You're a cruel man, Deep Blue.

lmao, and here I am thinking how in the world these are heartwarming.

[What is the exact difference between sci-fi and fantasy VN?]

I think of it as spaceships vs fairies.

[What are you playing?]

Currently reading Princess Evangile. I like how it some cases it's quite easy to relate to, the way some of these characters act is very easy to imagine in real life.

Finished Rise's route, twas decent. Started Chiho's just now, I'm definitely have a soft spot for the whole childhood friend thing. 

Uhhh.. I really dislike seeing two of the main route girls fighting over the protag, coz I know one of them won't be chosen. Hate to see them heartbroken.

 

Tip of the day. If you're using auto skip and really want to skip through a large portion quickly, MINIMIZE the VN! I spent ages skipping through chapter after chapter to only realize that it goes 10 times faster minimized. I have no idea how a VN can be so hardware intensive on a good PC.

Don't care about H-scenes, but will the English translation receive a hardcopy? :/

I happily backed it

Awww... I feel totally bad for you Ren. The feeling would be awful. Mistakes happen, and it's nice to see you're not quitting on it. Shit happens.

 

[Working as an Interpreter is Awesome (And Here's Why)]

This was a fascinating read.

@Getsuya How did you learn to speak Japanese, how long did it take? What kind of engineering schooling do you have?

Thanks!

I was genuinely curious.

[Guide to learning japanaese]

This thread is just awesome. Thank you all who have contributed.

By the way, is there a way to download/save that google document?

  If you can't even be arsed to make a legible and natural-sounding Kickstarter page the first time you publish it, I really don't see why they'd do a much better job on the actual translation.

When I thought of Mikandi I made the recommendation on the assumption they would also translate it.

I prefer Dies Irae because it interests me slightly more than Baldr Sky

That's my reasoning too.. and it seems it is winning at the moment by a reasonable margin.

Though to be honest, neither of these VN's are on my "must read" list. Though there's probably good reason they're in the final.. I probably should listen to this.

[ChuSinGura 46+1 Kickstarter comes out of nowhere (with added Engrish and sketchyness)]

I find the most bizarre thing is that they limited the steam key tier.

 

Mikandi should approach these guys are help them make a proper KS.

[The Central Pokemon Topic]

I wasn't aware of this thread. I bought myself the 2DS 20th ed. Pokemon blue console + game. Nostalgia. Though I still have my original gameboy with Pokemon blue.

[Kinda weird request, even for me]

I wouldn't do it purposefully.. but that option came up in Mass Effect 3 with Garrus. I really didn't want to see that option at all, he's my best brofriend.

oh my.. my vote for Muramasa tipped it to 52% in favor and 48% against. It was 51/49.

Because even in 2016 printing a shipping label with an address that uses the Latin alphabet is too hardcore for Japan.

Regarding 3rd party Amazon sellers:

Quote

the third-party seller's items aren't fulfilled by Amazon, then your order will be fulfilled directly by the seller who will also handle all of their customer service,

I think it's understandable. Too much hassle for small businesses imo, plus they don't get good shipping rates.

It has to be fulfilled by Amazon JP and not a private business. Unfortunately.

[VN Reading Club - Steins;Gate (about bloody time)]

I'm sad I'll never be able to participate in these, since I only have a very limited amount of hours per week and it takes like 3-4+ months to finish a VN. S;G is sitting in its box waiting for me.

I have no idea if the biggest problem is translation accuracy or the writing, though I'm guessing it's the former. At first glance going over a few parts, the English is readable (I'm guessing the editors got rid of any grammatical mistakes made by the people involved who have poor English), but could still use a lot of work.

This would seem to be the case. The grammatical errors I saw when I google "WA2 bad translation" were not in the patch I read. I guess it would be to do with the translation accuracy.
