| Sekai Project announced that they will be launching a kickstarter for the Visual Novel trilogy. http://prefundia.com/projects/view/lets-bring-the-grisaia-trilogy-to-the-west/2814/ |
| If the original translator from the first game doesn't do it I'm not interested. He carried the novel a lot with extremely liberal translation. |

It seems like koestl will be involved because he's constantly tweeting about the localization and Sekai Project itself. The official release will include added content such as new CGs and a freshly edited translation. That suggests that they will be using koestl's translation. Edit: Sekai Project will be handling general project management and the same staff from TLWiki will be working on all 3 games if this Kickstarter is successful. Yep, you'll have koestl. |

He carried the novel a lot with extremely liberal translation. so you dislike the idea of getting the closer experience to what Japanese fans got it protomting spltiing the fan base It was liberal, but it was still close to what the raw text wanted to convey. Most of the "off" translations were the jokes and some of the dialogues in the SOL segments. Just look and compare TLwiki's sub and CR's sub, TLwiki's felt more natural because they didn't translate it literally but translated it based on the thought the phrases contained. I'm not a good translator nor had any experience translating anime/manga/vn/ln etc, but it's safe to assume that koestl did a good job. |
| Money spent for Kazuki time is good money spent. I do agree that a good liberal localisation done by someone who understands both Japanese and Western cultures well is vastly superior than a simply literal translation with correctly adapted meanings. That's the difference between translation and localisation. Even if the words' meanings are properly translated, due to cultural differences there are certain messages cannot be conveyed literally. One of the biggest examples is probably jokes - some of which simply do not work in different languages/cultures. There is a lot of those in Grisaia, and I was glad to see them done right. |
| unfortunately, the Grisaia first game is going to steam as an all ages version. There will be no kazuki time. Also Grisaia's idea of a liberal translation isnt that he changed what things mean. He literally added a bunch to yuuji's monologues and made them relatable. |
| That's some surprising and great news. Would be awesome if they at least reach the 120.000 goal and in best case even 150.000 for the mahou shoujo spin-off. The addition of new CGs also sounds like a great bonus. SolviteSekai said: unfortunately, the Grisaia first game is going to steam as an all ages version. According to the article there'll be an all-ages version (probably distributed over steam) and an uncut version. |
| I will only buy a adult version I don´t think a all age version will be fun :P But I only like the first game, well the second also. The last one..I pretend that dosen´t exist. |
| Only uncensored better not do that all ages shit. |
PoeticJustice said: Only uncensored better not do that all ages shit. Sekai said: We will have a edition with the mature content uncut on our own platform; we're working on bringing the all-ages version of the trilogy to Steam, but if Steam rejects the games, then we will release the all-ages versions on our platform as well. |
| I will definitely buy this amazing trilogy when it will get an adult localization. |
 |
| Agree with you guys on koestl having done the translation, it read much smoother than a lot visual novels for me. And that kept my interest even in yumiko 's route which was quite bad comparative to other routes. I will be throwing my money at this though, and will hope it gets successfully funded. |
| Already $117,237, 45 days to go, lol Magical Chiruchiru for sure <3 |
| 10.000$ more in 1 hour...easy kickstarter |
 |
LonelyWizard said: 10.000$ more in 1 hour...easy kickstarter It needs probably a new stretch goal, like a decent adaption of Kajitsu ;D Thats even faster than expected, so yeah Grisaia is totally not popular xD |

| No,no,no...the real goal is Magical Chiruchiru...we need more... |
| |
| 192k... Yeah Magical Chiruchiru stretch goal is also gonna be reached on day 1 lol Edit: Wow Magical Chiruchiru Part 2 comes out on 26/12/14 <3 |
| 8000$ left for Magical Chiruchiru, also we've got a (estimated) release date for meikyuu, fall 2015 and early 2016 for rakuen. http://ask.fm/koestl/answer/121488159541 http://ask.fm/koestl/answer/121521499189 Still no details about 18+ version except that pledgers may get a discount or uncut version. |
 |
| No wonder Tunafish man couldn't save the anime, he was too busy with the kickstarter... A worthy sacrifice. |
 |
| I'm a little worried about what a 'discount' on the +18 version means. I hope that there inst a situation where you have to buy the games again for them. If they are digital for like a small amount that seems fine, but it's a little unnerving. |

I still hope, we get an Tunafish Man spin-off some day <3 (With Grisaia cast of course :D) Anyway: Magical Chiruchiru financed on day 1: $201,437 <3 |

| The funding for this is insane, I thought the project might come out short of the console ports but it's pretty much all the way there in a day. I really hope Sony won't stonewall the Vita port since it's pending Sony approval, I would love to play some VNs on there and hopefully this encourages other projects. |

| Can someone enlighten me: After the translation by Sekai Project, will the trilogy only be available to buy through the internet? Or, will it be sold maybe in specific shops in western countries and available in torrent sites and stuff? Because I haven't particularly understood the whole thing with the prices. I haven't been reading any other visual novels and I don't know about such kickstarter projects, that's why I am asking. |

| ^ I see. I am not familiar with buying stuff from the internet so I was hoping to download or buy it from somewhere. Still, thanks for the info :) |
| Question about the trilogy, does the second and third game pretend that the seperate routes you take in first game never happen or do they still continue from where they left off? |
ChaosIncarnate said: Question about the trilogy, does the second and third game pretend that the seperate routes you take in first game never happen or do they still continue from where they left off? Meikyuu has both teh grand story route and (short) after stories. Teh grand story pretends that teh romance/route endin's never happened, while Yuuji still solved their problems basically. Rakuen follows teh grand story route, which Meikyuu introduced. It also has a short prologue to Kajitsu, which was already adapted by teh anime lol |

| And suddenly kickstarter forcing Sekai Project to remove all tiers that include dakimakuras because they were deemed inappropriate. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1500482054/sunrider/posts/764570 Yet this one openly showed dakis in a post... I don't get it. |
| Teh H is clearly evil. lol, thats just weak and i dont get it either. It was probably just reported for teh lulz because its popular unlike teh other one. |
| Quick Update: 2,130 backers $307,321 pledged of $160,000 goal 32 days to go Looks like another winner. |
 |
| And its all ages. God dammit guess ill end up using two monitors and opening both versions at the same time. |

| Another Update: https://twitter.com/Denpasoft_pr/status/552175295378120705 "Good News everybody! We'll be carrying the 18+ version of the Grisaia trilogy and also will be selling the dakimakuras!" |

| So the first of the trilogy has been released, remember to get the denpasoft version as the steam version is obvs censored. If you buy the steam version, there is no way to convert to uncensored version and you can't get it for free either, they are complete separate SKU's. https://denpasoft.com/products/fruit-of-grisaia-unrated-version |
