    Deep Blue got a reaction from Dergonu in Grisaia no Rakuen question   
    Reading any grisaia all ages version is a sin, leaving aside if they are good or bad games, the all ages version are heavily censored not just in the eroge content but plot and dialogues too, specially in the sequels where the focus of the stories are heavily on the sexual side, these are games that cannot be censored without ruining them in the process.
    So the short answer is: wait for the +18 version.

    Deep Blue reacted to Tortedelini in AGTH Wiki is dead?   
    Yes it's dead. 
    The only way is to make a new agth wiki again. 

    The wiki also offer the data backup for 2 days. I have the backup if you want to make one.

    Deep Blue got a reaction from Kuma in Is Amane a common VN name?   
    Amane is a fairly common name used in VNs, just like nagisa, haruka, etc. But be aware that even if the name is read as "Amane" there are many different ways that you can write it using different kanji combinations or kanji+hiragana http://tangorin.com/names/amane  just like any other name, sometimes even using specific kanji used in names which I believe they are called jinmeishoukan(人名用) (茜  akane for example)
    btw if you want to know how popular a name is in VNs just check it xD

    For the last 5 years, every time somebody mentions the bestiality scene, there was always someone who told you how important that scene is, totally deep and full with philosophy and stuff.
    Now it's just ten lines and not important at all.
    I love these shifts in the narrative as soon as a game is being localized. I hope you get paid for this, you are really good.

    https://vndb.org/v2585 (really easy to read and to follow)
    https://vndb.org/v18778 (really long but nothing complicated, pure SoL with romance)
    https://vndb.org/v5700 (easiest of them all)
    https://vndb.org/v1209 (your regular charage)
    https://vndb.org/v17843 (another charage)
    https://vndb.org/v1132 (this one is not voiced but it's actually pretty good and easy to read)
    https://vndb.org/v2603 (not a super happy story but i recommend it)
    https://vndb.org/v1510 (short sad/bittersweet stories if you could read 120 yen you would be able to read this one)
    https://vndb.org/v6695 (only read one route but it was easy and also pretty sad)
    https://vndb.org/v551 (good and easy also sad)
    https://vndb.org/v3061 (really easy to read)
    https://vndb.org/v478 (really easy to follow and easy to read, sad one too)

    those are easy to read, with easy i mean you can follow the plot easy enough and there is no action involved or anything too complicated also the writing is fairly normal (there is a bit of action in konata yori), bear in mind that even the easiest vn out there would have some hard parts to read.
    PD: Yes I like sad stuff  xD
    PD2: I forgot to say, dont read something just because it's easy, read something that you like even if it's hard, reading something easy but boring wont help you accomplish anything,

    Deep Blue reacted to Tyr in tales of berseria question   
    I'm actually a fan of revenge stories, one reason I like Korean cinema so much, and that is one of my main issues of Berseria; the reason for the vengeance doesn't make any sense. Especially because in the prologue
    So essentially the reason for the vengeance is that the protagonist doesn't want to accept that somebody actually did exactly the one thing she believes in and fights for. Yeah, what? It doesn't make any sense. And how can you root for a character when the reasoning for her actions is so nonsensical?
    This is especially infuriating because the story relies so much on principles and ideologies and instead of discussing them they are simply justified by a strong sense of passion you supposedly should have for them since your feelings can't be wrong, can they? But even if you try and not apply logic to it, the vengeance also falls flat on an emotional level.
    Imagine somebody kills someone close to you and you want to get revenge. Of course, that is vigilante justice, but emotionally I'm on your side despite that. But then you carry out your revenge by killing innocent people ... wait, why are you doing that? It doesn't make any sense and I'm not emotionally attached to your cause anymore. And that is exactly what Berseria's revenge story consists of and why it doesn't work.
    There is a trope in Japanese entertainment which got more popular in recent years: sacrificing humanity in order to save those close to you. It's mainly an edgy reaction to Japanese culture which deems the worth of the group higher than the worth of an individual. The trope isn't inherently bad and it can be used to tell great emotional stories. But recently, like with many initially good tropes, the stories surrounding this concept get dumber and dumber. The trope only works if the reader can emphasize with the characters and at least emotionally understand the reasoning for their actions, but nowadays it's used more in a.reactionary manner; the many are sacrificed not because there is an emotional reason, but mainly because the system isn't liked (for no other reason than being contrarian on principle) and the reader just wants to see the world burn.
    I'm sorry, I already wrote too much. But after spending 150 hours with Berseria and really liking Tales of Zestiria and how it seriously discussed important themes and philosophies (I think Baba's vision was realized in this one the most), I'm really disappointed by how shallow Berseria is, how it's a disgrace for the vengeance-genre and how it looks down on its player by not even trying to make any sense at all, not even on an emotional level. That is, if you are not an edgy teenager who wants to see how badass characters (they are pretty emo) go against a supposedly evil system (it's not evil). I do not mean that as an insult*, we all were at least a little bit emo at some point in our life. But just because we were kinda stupid in this phase of our life doesn't mean that the entertainment that caters to this phase should be as stupid as we were. In fact, it should be intelligent, educate us and show us more than we wanted to see. That is what young adult fiction should be about and that was Baba's vision. And Tales of Berseria betrayed it. Hard.
    *highlighted because I'm sure this rant appears very pretentious, but it's not meant to be that and instead really more a cry of a JRPG nerd who takes his hobby way too serious and wants to discuss it on the Internet

    Deep Blue got a reaction from Templarseeker in Family Project (Kazoku keikaku)   
    Kazoku Keikaku
    VNDB Link
     
    Summary

    Tsukasa, a fiercely independent youth who lost his parents at an early age and now spends his days working at a Chinese restaurant to make ends meet.

    Reluctant to form interpersonal ties lest they be shattered, Tsukasa is nonetheless unable to abandon the illegal immigrant girl he finds collapsed in the alley behind his workplace one day. Confronted by her utter helplessness he takes her in, an encounter that opens the door to a new life - one where he faces the challenge and wonder of being no longer alone.
     
    Tsukasa soon finds himself at the unwilling nexus of even more lives, attracting a band of misfits and social outcasts around him that swell beyond the confines of his small apartment. They find shelter in an abandoned house, where despite Tsukasa's lingering doubts a pact is formed: the "family project", an alliance of mutual convenience and utilitarian support that despite the mistrust and antagonism among its members soon comes to mean much more.

    Deep Blue got a reaction from Trickay in Learning Japanese for VN reading?   
    Personally I would recommend learning vocabulary n5  (or memrise)  and then start reading  Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese Grammar and as you learn the guide keep learning vocabulary until you die xD (you dont stop learning vocabulary ever)
    Learning grammar without knowing the vocabulary is not fun, you can do it but it's not something I would recommend. 
    Once you know everything on tae kim's guide use http://www.imabi.net/ (or you can use "a dictonary of japanese grammar" inter and advance)  

    I would say that once you reach the Special Expressions part in tae kim's guide you can read a simple VN without trouble (something like https://vndb.org/v5700), bear in mind that even the simplest vns out there will have some hard grammar parts, for example 120 yen is really easy but there are still some "hard" parts.

    Learning kanji alone is in my opinion a waste of time at first, I don't recommend it, it didnt help me but then again just because it didnt work for me doesnt mean it'd be the same for you.

    Voy a escribir en español porque tengo mucha paja
    No uses chiitrans, vos queres traducir via programa lo que en la comunidad se llama "machine translation" y chiitrans mas que nada es para leer si sabes japones y ayudarte con la gramática, lo mejor que podes hacer es usar google translation que es casi igual que ATLAS bien configurado (configurar atlas es un parto)
    Baja esto:
    http://www.mediafire.com/file/8zjhfxys78r0bfs/ITHVNR-3.5640.1-win32.zip <--------- con esto extraes el texto de las novelas visuales, nada mas.
     
    Después baja esto:
    http://www.hongfire.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=5717434
    Una vez abierto vas a ver que el programa tiene 2000 tipos de traductores, cerralos a todos y deja sólo el que dice google, con ITHVNR abierto y ya habiendo agarrado el texto dentro de la novela visual con ITHVNR, abrí el segundo programa y sólo va a traducir, la traducción varia entre "aceptable" hasta "no se entiende una garcha". Lo ideal seria tener al menos conocimientos básicos de japones y utilizar estos traductores como ayuda y nada mas pero eso lleva mucho tiempo y estudio y no creo que quieras hacer eso.
    Si tenes problemas utilizando ITH mira mi tutorial en una parte explico como se utiliza, cualquier cosa consultame.

    Deep Blue reacted to Tyr in Is Visual Novel Reader Dead?   
    Stop spreading misinformation @ahan94. Mireado is not the "second admin" of sakuradite. He is just a very active member of the VNR community and the one who updates his own custom build of ITHVNR which is essentially the successor to the original tool since the original ITHVNR only used VNR's latest hooking engine and Mireado, now that VNR isn't updated anymore, implements his own hacks and hooks. But he is certainly not in any position to maintain the actual VNR application or the sakuradite website. In the blogtext you linked he only said that he tried to contact jichi-sama but he didn't get any response. Like everyone else who tried that.
    I'm astonished how out of touch with reality the VNR community apparently is, who refuses to accept the harsh truth which is really not that hard to figure out. Let's look at the facts again, shall we?
    jichi-sama is a highly motivated and talented individual, was updating VNR nearly every day and was also always online on sakuradite to chat with his community one year ago, he suddenly stops updating VNR, nobody has seen him ever since You can deny reality as much as you want, but don't tell people who are genuinely interested in VNR's fate to wait and raise their hopes... when there is no hope left and this chapter in the history of text hooking is already over.
    Just move on.
