| (Wow, the third Topic on this entire board...) Anyway, this has been bothering me for some time. Basically in the afterword in question, Chiyomaru says some really bizarre things, most intriguing of which is the implication that whichever version of Occulctic;Nine is the original- the LN, manga, anime or VN- is something that's interchangeable. I mean, are they each their own independent "worldlines" of Occultic;Nine (which he'd totally do)? If so, do they all connect together? Because I read a review or two of the anime to see how "bad" it was but now I might've spoiled myself of unpublished material depending on what his agenda with the series is. |
| Here is the thing. The LN was the original first release, and despite only having two volumes at the time of release, it was adapted into a heavily rushed 12 episode Anime. Everything in the Anime was from Chiyo's head, as later confirmed in the Visual Novel. Now, the thing is, while the Anime is an adaptation to the LN as well as the only complete version of it, the VN is the LN... But actually takes place within the SciAdv universe (Persumably). The originals were meant to be in a universe more similiar to our own (Which is why the characters actually used 2channel and Twitter) but in the VN, they use the VN terms, and Shun, a character that made S;G references in the LN and Anime, doesn't anymore. Here's a thread more detailed on that. The status of the LN is unknown at the moment. It's probably cancelled but we're still unsure. The VN is supposedly recieving an expanded version sometime soon, since it was released unfinished. I don't think that even Chiyo really knows what exactly he's doing with the series as whole. |

Wow, thanks for the info. I hope the LN keeps going, honestly, since my favorite thing about it over S;G is that it's not a VN. I mean, I love S;G but I think it's extremely nervewracking to play a VN blind in order to get the right ending. But tbh I wouldn't be completely butt-hurt if the LN got the shaft. In fact, this new VN Chiyo's working on currently already looks a lot more interesting than O;N could ever be. |

Hopefully Anonymous;Code will actually be released, considering the amount of delays it received and the fact that he's also working on the O;N VN expansion, Robotics;Notes DaSH alongside it. |
