Haven't started it yet. Semi busy weekend, and with my free time I decided to just catch up on all the anime I wanted to watch from this season. Probably going to read the SnK fandisc first anyway since I did just finish SnK.
I did. Thanks a ton man. Question: are some of the minor things supposed to still be in moon runes (not the text but other things like the "y/n" for quitting the game, names for the cg mode, etc)? The important stuff is translated so I don't really care.
Hi superange, I remember you from SF. You made that VN thread, didn't you?
And well, I don't care much about canon-ness. I just seek quality in story, but if the routes in SnK are all identical, that's probably not a factor in deciding the route. Less H-scenes does sound more appealing, and how much I like the character would also contribute to an extent, depending on how much I like them. So I might as well just start reading it and go for whoever I feel like, since there's not much difference either way.
Yeah from what I've read online/heard from others, Extra isn't really that great. Ahh so it's like SnK in that sense, where the plot is 98% the same no matter what route you take. Okay cool.
Yeah I torrented it. What's weird is the raw unpatched game works perfectly fine. But when I patch it, that's where the problems begin. Idk man I just gave up on it. There's other good VNs out there, so why waste time on one I'm having trouble with when I can play (possibly even better) VNs without the hassle?
DLed the first four seasons of Major btw (don't have enough space on my comp for the last two...really need to move some more anime onto my external so I can have some space haha). Plan on watching it with my little brother (he's 17) when we finish Trigun.
Ahh I see. It pretty much sets up all the details to understand Alternative then. Are any other routes in Extra/Unlimited worth reading? Or are the minimum routes (Sumika, Meiya, Unlimited route) all that matters?
Well it's summer time, and sometimes magical things happen during the summer haha. I'll try and stay patient, but if it's taking too long and my curiosity continues to grow, I might have to check it out.
Patch was from mirror moon. I'll let you guess where I got the game haha.
Are any of the other routes in Extra/Unlimited worth playing? Or is it best to just jump straight into Alternative?
Ah I see. I'm assuming they're all pretty awesome seeing as its so high on your list.
Yeah that's my thought process. I'm really new to the VN scene so I have a lot of great ones that I still need to read. By that time, hopefully it'll be done getting translated. Any idea when the full translation patch comes out?
I tried Tsukihime, but I always had a problem patching it for some reason. It'd work before I patched it, but when I did patch it, all I'd get is a black screen with the words. No CGs or background picks or sprites or effects or even music. Just a screen with words. I tried like 8752309 times and it kept happening, and I know I patched it correctly since I followed the instructions to a tee (besides it's not the first time I've patched something before lol) so I just gave up on it. I'll try it again another time probably, but for now I decided to check out other VNs instead.
Yeah that's what I've been told by the guy who recommended it to me. I'll do it for the h-scenes lolol I think I'll just move on to a new VN then. Yeah man the more I look back at it, the more I really like the VN as a whole. Great story and all the characters were good. Rare that you can be able to say that about anything really.
That actually reminds me. I've always been curious about how the whole "Muv Luv" story worked. I heard Alternative is where the good stuff is, but in order to get it you have to read a bunch of stuff before it to even get to that point. So you just read Muv Luv Extra, then read Muv Luv Unlimted, THEN read Muv Luv Alternative?
All I know about Ever17 is what it says on the vndb summary. Is it multiple routes, or just one main story?
Haha I've heard a lot about Katawa Shoujo. I think on SF a lot of people seemed to check it out since it's relatively short and liked it. I've been thinking about reading it in general, just not sure if it's the VN I want to read next.
Was thinking about starting this actually, but then saw that they haven't finished translating it yet. I kinda want to wait until the whole thing is translated and then start it, but if the translation is stalling or taking too long I might just start it anyway. It sounds like a really fun/interesting game, and if it's your all time favorite, I'm assuming it's really good haha.
I've read Fate/Stay Night, Little Busters, G-Senjou no Maou, and Sharin no Kuni, and parts of Shuffle! and Steins;Gate (saw the anime for both of these so I didn't really feel like playing through the entire VN). If I had to rank them, I'd go LB, SnK, G-Sen, F/SN, S;G, then far behind, Shuffle.
For sure man! I just gotta find one worth starting first haha.
Hahaha I see. So anime actually made you more interested in baseball? I didn't like baseball much until I started playing in high school, and now I'm a big fan of it. I plan on checking out Major one of these days, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Now that the semester is over and I'm not taking summer classes, I should be able to watch it soon enough.
Yeah it's really great. Gotta go with Chapter 5 being my favorite just because that's when shit really went down, and dat plot twist haha. Favorite character is Morita himself (probably the only time I've ever thought the protagonist in a VN was the best character) since despite his overall badassedness, he was really "human" and had flaws. Favorite heroine is probably Sachi (she's the only route that I've actually done though). When I think about it though, there really wasn't a character in the game that I didn't like. Even the side characters like Isono and Kyouko were really good, and Houzuki was an awesome antagonist. Overall it's just a solid VN. (Barely) second to my all time favorite, Little Busters!
I'm actually wondering which VN I should check out next. Any recommendations?
Hey I'm Helios from serenesforest. Your love for baseball anime has caught my interest, so I was wondering if you liked baseball irl as well? Oh and we've both seen/read a lot of similar anime/VNs so we could discuss that too haha.
Can't Take My Eyes Off You is pretty much a filler. The plot was actually the idea of Kenjirou Hata ( the author of this manga). He made the plot and the idea but it just goes to this anime and didn't show it on the manga. The plot is actually good but unfortunately Manglobe (the company) didn't make it too good.. i think. But however, although they say this season wasn't suppose to be in the manga. I notice about 3 or 4 episodes is actually from the manga, like the episode where he date Hinagiku or in the restaurant.
Cuties, yes it's following the manga. But it focuses on people individually. So they make the anime based from manga around chapter 300 - 400. So it isn't actually following chapters by chapters but instead pick randomly from it to match the character's episode.. hope this helps =)
Blood has been comepletely removed, which I agree is a shame because the blood is part of what makes some scenes especially great the manga, but it doesn't make anything bad. The battles are still really good and definitely still worth it. Other than that, smoking and maybe also drinking has been toned down but bot completely.
It was from Aria's manga review, i think. I was curious of Aria cause even Archaeon(jesus of anime fans) gave it a 10 score & only to Aria the Origination.
In Majikoi my favorite characters are Wanko(Kazuko) & Miyako. Majikoi's anime was fail, but while i was watching it i got curious of Wanko & Miyako. However in Majikoi(vn) they were much more cuter ^^.
