>Damn, Masada really went out of his way to make this as japanese and immersive as possible.
Well it was a group effort, but KKK itself is super Japanese, from the menus looking as if they were scrolls, to the extremely Japanese artstyle from G-Yuusuke, the very, very japanese character designs (Their clothes were all referenced from Noh theatre iirc, hell look at Momiji's eyebrows, that shit gets me off). Also the music is once again very Japanese, the bgm track names are almost all references to various Nip folklore, the text, you guessed it, contains a ton of references shinto/buddhist/hindu lore, and it's not even your standard chuuni sprinkle, some of of it is very heavily linked with the story and the characters themselves, but most are really just finer details that really add to the aesthetic of the visual novel. And then there are are smaller details like Habaki's Vajra, the lore behind the Tenmas and their individual names as me and the other anon were just discussing earlier though I still don't know about Morei and Akuro.
Essentially KKK is a really well-produced piece of work, from details regarding art, music and text. You can tell that a LOT of research and love went into it. Honestly, I find out more about KKK as time goes on even well after I've read it, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
>Just how much nuance will be lost once it gets translated?
Quite a lot I'm fairly certain, I remember having to look up a lot of the lore whilst in the middle of reading and there weren't any English resources on most of the stuff, so it was all jp pages. But then again, I'm a filthy Gaijin and there's probably more stuff that went completely over my head.
But to be fair for those who read it in English, a lot of actual nips miss out on the references in KKK as well. Quite a lot of them still think that Rindou is a reference to Suzuka Gozen because of her full name, but as the other anon put it, it's a reference to the eastern expedition of Emperor Jimmu as detailed in the Kojiki.
