Cho Dengeki Stryker. Currently re-reading the original Sagas just because I wanted to refresh my memory.

They're both MangaGamer translations, the old one was bad because they used horrible translators.

I'll be 31 in two months.

I wonder if I'm actually the oldest user here... That's depressing.

No. It was my intention to mislead though.

Saya no Uta. That was easy.

Penpals?

Lost Threads. Yeah, I cheated. I got nothing. Let the next person pick.

Tomoko is a better heroine, and I do like her a bit more. But this isn't a popularity poll, and Mami is a lot more... err... waifu-able imo.

I want to say Riho from DEARDROPS, but that really wouldn't work out, she'd hate my outlook on life. So I'm gonna say Mami from Canvas 2, she seems like someone who could help me keep my shit together (and that's a full-time job!). http://i.imgur.com/0BKsY.png

Pretty much what desi said. These titles are cheap and quick to translate, and they're guaranteed to bring profit. Additionally, I'd like to note that it was "that" dreadful AX panel that caused so much not entirely warranted discontent about MG. People expected at least some story-driven titles to be announced, but there were none. It was a really bad move for MG, but in all honesty, it's not like the ratio of cheap nukige to story-driven titles changed that much. MangaGamer always has at least 2 and as much as 4-5 story-driven VNs in the works pretty much against business sense, as those titles can bomb spectacularly (Kara no Shoujo, DC fandisks) and rarely become a huge sales success (Shuffle!). The argument regarding time and effort that could be spent working on story-driven titles is somewhat solid, but it's really not fair to say that releases of story-driven titles slowed considerably because of that. It is not MG's fault that Harukoi takes forever, cause the work that stalled the project is carried out by a third party.

I used to pirate back when I couldn't afford to buy. These days I mostly buy officially translated stuff from both JAST and MG. I still pirate fan-translated VNs, cause I don't want hard copies and it's a pain in the ass to import.
