Hi Pj900, glad you enjoyed the demo! Our team is still hard at work, so don't worry

It has action. I actually quite liked the anime, bar a couple of episodes where it loses steam, it just could have been even better I suppose. I'm interested to see what the VN is about, but from what I've heard it's mostly just SoL so... eh. I thought the characters were fun enough in the anime, but I would have wanted more seriousness.

For those interested, there is currently an Angel Beats translation ongoing! A sample of the work (the opening I believe) can be found , and the current translation spreadsheet is here which puts the progress at ~36% achieved over a 3-4 month period.

Yay! Thank you for all your hard work

My top four: 1. Little Busters -- Those feel trains. My favourite VN, and it has a FANTASTIC true route... that absolutely destroyed me. Only complaint is a couple of the earlier routes weren't as good, but you have Rin-chan which instantly makes it all worthwhile. Great story and funny SoL. Note that you might want to wait for the perfect TL'n and official release before playing this to get the best experience possible. The perfect version has new routes, content and an entirely new character. 2. Higurashi -- This is actually two parts, Higruashi no koro ni and Higurashi no koro ni Kai. Aw

A new frontwing VN that will (eventually) be released in English FIRST. Interesting choice, I hope it works out. If it does we might get some newer VNs that are translated on or soon after release as opposed to just older games getting translations after the fact.

For those interested, this is actually the third part. Sunrider First Arrival and Mask of Arcadius are the first and second parts, respectively, both available for free on steam under the Mask of Arcadius. Is this V2.00 release? V2 added an hour to an hour and a half worth of story to the end of the game making it a lot better.

I'm not going to lie, I really had fun with KoiChoco. Let me say that it is far from perfect; Chisato can get on your nerves, one route in particular is especially underwhelming and I feel like they could have gone deeper with a few of the other routes that would have provided a more solid story. That said, for what it is, very fun. If you like SoL with a dash of drama, definitely recommended. Plus the art is a highlight, and its music repertoire (although a little limited) is quite good as well. If nothing else, just play it for Satsuki Best girl. You could always be a filthy pirate, see

For those who haven't seen the Aokana update, apparently the whole 'TL and editing finished' thing was a bit of a fib. They're now aiming for an October release this year... which is pretty disappointing honestly. *Sigh*. I might get a good VN to read eventually...

Edelweiss is actually one I've wanted to read for a while, so I voted for that. The other two aren't bad, but I hope Edelweiss is the winner .

Yeah I know, and that editor is fantastic! ... I'm not biased.

Shit that really sucks for the translators. I honestly can't imagine pouring so much effort and love into something for it to get thrown out. Hope something changes for them. Glad to see root double got its kickstarter . And Aokana.... Soon.

Root double kickstarter on the 5th of January according to Sekai's twitter.

More news; apparently the reason SubaHibi's been delayed for so long is because it's getting an official release. We don't know the details, but it seems like it'll be directly published without a kickstarter and without a bigger publisher. Not hugely happy it's made us have to wait so long, but more official releases are a good thing for the industry in general.

As far as I'm aware, the people who did the translation before (fluffy I believe) essentially joined doki translations. So in reality the people who actually translated the original LB game (and now the PE) are getting paid for their hard work... I don't see the problem.

Aokana got an update. Looks like they only have one route to go now \o/

Have fun with Kanon H scenes It was only just released that this happened. They've been talking with Visual Arts for a while, but they wanted to keep it a secret, presumably until everything was finalised and the script was closer to being finished. I have no idea what the time frame will be because they talk about cleaning up their original translation on top of doing the work for the perfect edition.

I'm glad they're getting the chance to translate the perfect edition... I'm annoyed by the fact the TL'n will take several months to a year most likely.

The group that TL'ed the original game, fluffy, joined doki, so it's not like they left or anything. But yeah, it has been pretty slow unfortunately. The last update we had was a couple of months ago. That said, however, I don't think there's a whole lot more to edit now, and I believe the TL has been finished for some time. Moreover, the TL quality is going to be much higher than could have ever been achieved if it was just posted on fuwa or something. So although I hate waiting... it's probably better this way. At least that's what I tell myself...

Huh, I didn't know if we were ever going to get a continuation of that TL project. Well, good luck to the project member(s)! Looking forward to this one

Oh, and Lilium x Triangle English patch was also released... so yay?

The guys over at Alternative Projects had a few announcements including: - TL of Muv Luv Total Eclipse at 25% - TL of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - TL of Haruko Maniax - TL of a few other bits a bobs such as Ayu Mayu Alternative, Aspriation and the Schwarzesmarken LN! Personally I'm most excited for kiminozo, but I hadn't expected quite so much stuff!

For Grisaia fans: Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michiru part 1 and part 2 were released on steam. No idea what the TL is like (since apparently it was rushed out the door). I'll wait to hear about the TL quality (and possibly wait for Koestl to go through it), but I hope it's at least a decent TL.

Just finished Majikoi S. All in all I'm fairly mixed. Although the "true", Tsubame's and, to some degree Mon's, routes were reasonably well done, the rest was a bit naff honestly. The after routes were basically 50% H-scenes, with the other 50% being pretty contrived or uninteresting bits and bobs. I guess I shouldn't have expected more from that part, but anyway... I had fun playing it though (especially Koyuki's part, although I wish more attention was paid for hers and the main characters interactions). One thing I was really impressed with was their use of anime/video segments; I think thi
