Awesome!

Over 2 months with no updates about White Album, bummer...

On the contrary, I hope they will do more. Saves me the trouble of having to machine translate something myself. Oh and I am looking forward to the proper translation and will most certainly re-read it.

I wouldn't know, I can't read non-translated novels (I know what you meant, just joking). If I can understand the basics of the story it's enough for me. I am yet to encounter what was suggested by Ixrec. Of course we do. Huge props to the guys like Hecrapan and alike, I will always look forward to a proper translation much more than a MT one. As it was pointed out above MT support is just an act of desperation, nothing more. It's by no means meant to be a slap in the face of those who are actually doing the job properly. Besides, spending a minute or two trying to decode just what the hell the character said in one dialogue line with "only" 50K to go gives me something to do while waiting for a proper translation.

It gives those of us who aren't obsessing over quality and perfection a chance to read what might not be picked up otherwise. Even a poor, machine translated and slightly edited patch (FH) beats the nightmare of having to use AGTH or ITH anyday. There are so many visual novels out there, and sadly so very few people who bother to roll up their sleeves and translate them properly.

Anyone got any popcorn left?

Always reminds me of Kosame's full moon scene, was crying like a little girl

You think it will come? If that's the case I will wait tho I haven't heard anything about it. Doesn't really bother me much. I had a very pleasant experience reading FH and didn't mind it's often nonsensical English. Probably because I am not a native English speaker either

Cool looking forward to it. Being a NOOB and all, I don't really mind machine translations

Awesome more progress this week as well. Any info on whether they will be releasing the Introductory Chapter separately or wait til they finish translating the full game?

Seconded.

Yea I know I just haven't seen any movement there in months so I'm happy

So far my favorites are White Album 2 -closing chapter- OP and Lately I have been spending a lot of time going through youtube listening to music from various novels but haven't been able to find any songs that stuck like these 2.

Good to see Tenshin Ranman is making some progress every week, really looking forward to it!
