I hope so. Maybe Tani will finally get the love he deserves. I also would not mind more family shenanigans with Shibukawa and Arimura. Also, I have never wanted to buy a wall scroll thing so much before. The white shirts on the red background just look fantastic.

I did some studying up, and the artist for OV is someone named らんぷみ, and the only other game they've done is Yoshiwara Higanbana. I guess now's a good as time as any to play it, since I think some people here wanted to know about it too.

>>16699004
I've had Yoshiwara sitting around half played for a while and it's interesting for what it is. Wish the MC was voiced though.

dat shitstorm.

>>16699589
What happened there?

>>16699623
Sword related RL event involving Yasukuni shrine, Chinese and Korean fans upset.
There's war criminals enshrined there who participated in rape and massacre of their people. Also some non-Japanese who were forced against their will to fight for the Empire of Japan are also enshrined there against their family's will.

But another problem is, that shrine holds people who died in other wars too, also innocent people who didn't do any crimes, so Japanese have the right to revere that shrine. There was only a decision to enshrine the war criminals decades after WWII which even pissed off the Emperor.

Issue depends on POV.

>>16699707
Why do they always have to bring politics into 2d boys?
I don't hang around Twitter or fan communities, but every time you guys bring one up makes me glad I don't.

>>16699768
Well it's a pretty politicized location itself. You could maybe even say swords inherently is too because of their connections.

>>16699707
There's also the issue that the shrine itself denies the atrocities and the museum unironically spews prewar+WWII propaganda.

The event is pushed with sakura viewing but even that can be taken the wrong way given how soldiers were often likened to them. This military song is pretty self-explanatory on what I mean: https://youtu.be/-BoozeA5D9g

I'm neutral on the issue but I'm not sure why they chose this particular location everything considered, especially right after they open a Chinese version.

I really wish there were some translated otome games with ero in them. A'sRing and Kalmia8 games look great.

>>16705567
It's motivation to learn right?
All R18 games are PC too so you can hook the text and look up definitions easily.
Like 80% of my motivation was so I could understand ero situation cd's.

>>16705567
Well, one of Kalmia8's games is getting translated. If it sells well then I wouldn't be surprised if more get translated.

>>16708137
It's been some while since I looked it up, but I think most complaints were about the installation being annoying and requiring internet, and that the game seem like they were planning to port it to Vita.

Why are American girl games so shit? I tried to like REAllistair and Backstage Pass, but somehow they're so cringey and boring when put against games like Hakuoki, Tokimeki Girl's Side, and even Storm Lover Kai.

I raged at Alvin's ending in Backstage Pass.

So is it as fushigi as the Amazon reviews make it out to be?

>>16727229
It is pretty strange. The characters are eccentric weirdos and the MC has some unusual ways of thinking.

Also the routes are really short. I'm clearing two a day. I originally felt daunted by there being 7 of them but at this rate it doesn't seem too bad.

>>16727306
Okay, that's reassuring. Now, for my other question: is it fun? It looks like fun, in the so bad it's good sense.

>>16728231
It's not as outright comedic as Karin's other games but it gets pretty over the top and holds nothing back. Some routes are more fun than others and there's some hilarious shit like blowing out birthday candles with gunshots among other things.

I don't know how to judge how bad something is when there's a good chance that the ridiculousness is intentional given that it's Karin. It's not like it's aspiring to be some great 3deep5u plotge and failing either. It's doing a better job at keeping my attention than a lot of other games at least.

>>16728582
>Birthday candles and guns
You win, I'll join you and help breathe life back into this thread.

Okay, are you the guy who also played Omega Vampire? Because if so, I both hate you and love you for getting me into these stupid games.

I like the atmosphere some of these background have.

>>16728917
You're welcome. I liked OV enough to throw it into an order I have for next month.

>>16728927
I actually have another question, since you seem to be very familiar with Karin games. Have you ever played Animamundi?

>>16724825
These 2 are getting Vita ports too http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/487/1487344/

I just saw the Slow Damage teaser for the first time. That's some edgy shit right there.

I will however be looking forward to good things from the megane.

>>16729603
How random, I wonder if they're going to do anything with the rest of their games.
I was interested in the one with the kitsunes and the one where mc gets turned into a cat.
At least they should get them back on the app stores soon.

>>16729603
The art looks good, but
>mobage
>no information about the writer/director anywhere
I'll probably pass these.

>>16730221
Why did they pull them off in the first place?

>>16730257
Some kind of rights issue with the mobile publisher, I'm not really sure.
It only affects some of their games though.

>>16721370
Because I don't know if I'm going to be disappointed or not with these games.

The threesome CG for the new Kalmia8 game looks interesting but I don't like the demo version that much.

>>16730671
Do you also go into a cinema without paying beforehand because you don't know if you might be disappointed?

I mean, just pirate if you want but don't try to justify it. Especially not when pirating games from such small companies.

Maybe in the West. Or for games other than VNs.

>>16730853
Actually I am. Sure, I could just use my Vita TV instead, but I'd probably get a PS4 otome too if it wasn't some port I've already played.

>>16730853
I prefer monitors to portable screens, so mitebcool. It's probably not much of a difference for PowerPoint games but I'm curious to see how they would benefit from a bigger resolution. I always like it when PC games use large resolutions.

>/blog/ finally moved 'back' to /jp/

Thank god

>delayed
>still no news

>>16732141
This was Level 5 right? Most of the mobage they announced have been "delayed" forever.
I wouldn't get excited for it.

>>16732141
Isn't that just another mobage with boring gameplay?

>>16732151
Yes.

>>16732157
Of course, wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm still mad half these mobage games aren't ported to atleast PSvita/3DS I hate having to play on a phone when there's better devices to use and have out there.

With the way the market is now the mobile craze might never die.

>>16732141
We've been here for a few weeks, don't tell me you've just been waiting in /vg/ for a new thread.

Anyway, they still have 2 1/2 months left of spring to put something out.

>>16732331
>I'm still mad half these mobage games aren't ported to atleast PSvita/3DS
Why? I doubt the story is interesting enough to make it worthwhile just with that, and why would anyone want to grind those games except for gacha addiction?

>>16732331
Vita/3DS are outdated technology and you can't milk money from them. The best device to play mobile games is a mobile device.

>Liu's route
Christ, my sides.

>>16729555
Yes, I enjoyed it. I think people don't care about it because it's old, but I recommend giving it a try if you're interested and liked the company's other games.

>>16732341
>We've been here for a few weeks, don't tell me you've just been waiting in /vg/ for a new thread.
I wonder how many people have been doing that.

>>16732870
Their own fault for not reading the old thread. We even linked to here.

Please stop reminding me and let me have false hope.

Speaking of Vidya do you all remember that fighting game that could have been? I wish I had that condom picture on hand.

>>16733075
Yes

>popping popcorn with guns

Just finished Omerta. Holy shit that was weird. I really don't know what else to say other than that was really fucking weird. Liu's route especially. Literal madness. How fucked up am I if I actually felt kind of bad for him after learning his backstory?

I'm speechless.

>>16734374
Anon please stop I didn't know it was possible for me to want to play this game even more

Are you continuing on the crazy train after this or are you going to play a game that's more standard?

>>16734398
Going to try to clear more of my backlog if I don't get distracted. I'm morbidly curious about what's on the fandisk though.

>>16734374

Wait, Omerta is funny and weird? Every time I've heard someone talk about it in the past it was always like "omg so serious and touching uwu" Maybe I'll have to move it up in my backlog.

Speaking of backlogs, what's everyone's looking like these days? I finally got started on Hashihime. The production quality is quite impressive for a doujin effort.

>>16734593
>The production quality is quite impressive for a doujin effort.
I thought the same too. The music is great.
Unfortunately the characters failed to grab me, and it really wanted to be surreal but it just wasn't working. Ended up feeling like a drag for me to get through.

>>16734593
>Every time I've heard someone talk about it in the past it was always like "omg so serious and touching uwu" Maybe I'll have to move it up in my backlog.
Where'd you hear from? I suppose there's some serious/touching messages in there like the immigration/racism issue, Ugajin and Liu dealing with mental illness, how drugs ruin people lives, and the MC acknowledging how fucked up he is when he rapes but overall it's mostly a wacky mafia thriller.

>>16734661
>Where'd you hear from?

Mostly occasional comments on Twitter. I guess I should know by now that those are the types who say that about literally every game they like though.

>>16734593
I've read some reviews like that but in the end they were from the kind of people who spam kaomoji in their sentences.

>Hashihime
Forgive me, anon, I couldn't even make it through the trial version. What are your thoughts on it?

>>16736618

Yeah, like I said, I should have probably known better, but when those are the only people you see talking about something it's easy to get dismissive. Glad to hear some other opinions though.

As for Hashihime, I'm not very far in yet. All I can really say so far is that I'm enjoying the atmosphere. I'm not quite hooked yet, but that usually takes me a few hours with anything.

You guys have me a little worried it's gonna end up sucking, but I'm hoping it's just a taste difference issue.

>>16736842
It didn't suck, but for me it was mostly the cliche characters that put me off. For example right in the beginning with shit like Kawase and waitress and her dumb reaction to what he did that I presume was supposed to be funny.

>>16736869

Ah, yeah see that bit with the waitress actually got me because I wasn't expecting it (seemed like it was going somewhere more serious at first).

What happened to the person who was playing CAGE?

Oh yeah, what happened to the person playing Period Cube? Did you play brother's route?

>>16737057
I finished Yoshimoto's route and a 1/3 in Yagasaki's. I made a good call going for he-of-a-thousand-nicknames first. He has a good dynamic with Teppei as much as one could make with a crazy guy who greets someone with a metal pipe every time. Ended up with a satisfying end once I finish seeing them horrifying bad ends. Earn your happy ending indeed.

Good job, Teppei. Your Sherlock scan of the participants earlier made me wary of going for the Prince and Batman. According to my ancient Chinese horror pottery epic games, the chance of dying and getting backstabbed is much higher with those aforementioned character types. As for Yagasaki, I'm still on a first date period with him, but it looks like we'll be getting more solid info on what's up with the sketchy game in the first place.

>>16738104

So is CAGE just gay(er) Kaiji?

So, question about the rec chart. Are there any good 18+ otome in there? The rec chart doesn't really explain if something's 18+ or not.

>>16739192

>>16739192
There are three 18+ otome: Sachi no Tenbin, Yoshiwara Higanbana and Chou no Doku.

>>16739447
>knockoff Dante
My sides haven't returned from orbit ever since I saw that.

Happy Birthday, Laito.

I was really happy to see that someone drew a great picture of him playing the piano. His story was so touching that it inspired me to play as well. He's really misunderstood but he's actually very sweet and affectionate when you get down to it. I love him.

I hope everyone has a good day and has fun reading whatever you guys are reading!

>>16737078
That's the only route I have yet to play. The whole God thing that was revealed in Hiroya's route came so out of nowhere and felt so lazy, as if the writers were running out of time and needed to quickly add a reason for Kazuha's (sudden) surge of knowledge. But I should probably play the final route before judging since it seems like Shiki's involved too.
I should probably pick it up again sometime soon.

>>16744014
It's been some time since I played, but do you mean the guy voiced by Ishida? If yes, that guy has a proper(?) reason why he's in there.

Wasn't the Dynamic Chord port released a while ago though?

I gave in and did the Omerta fandisk. Liu's route surprised me as really good especially given that it was pretty much just hysterical madness in the main game. His bad end made me cry. I see him in a new light now.

>>16752214
Looks like a collab event with Yume100.

>>16752247
This madness has to stop.

Plus the current event is shitty.

>>16752265
The collab is exclusive in Chinese version so far.

>>16752196

I just started it too. My first impression is that it looks a little unpolished on the technical side of things (a lot of weird little text glitches and stuff). But they're a new brand so I guess that's to be expected.

Fuck.

It was a weird CD, though. Good lewds.

On CD topics, I'm kind of sad Biscrown went down. Reversible was one of my favorite CDs.

>>16756079
>Biscrown went down
Wait, what? When did that happen?

>>16756529
They had a statement on their site that they were stopping production on any new CDs at the end of 2016, but all their previous works were still for sale. Didn't say anything on why though. The message went up in February.

is girl love allowed in this thread?

I like Yuri otome the best because it lets me fulfill my lifelong fantasy of being an awkward young sexually confused girl

>>16757658
No offense, but don't you have an entire board for that?

>>16757658
Yuri otome is an oxymoron.
Two completely different genres, and I really hate how the western fandom doesn't seem to get that.

>>16739510
I wonder is Yashamaru's going to be the villain of the game.

>>16756079
I thought the last two volumes were a little boring and the switching aspect was half-assed.
Too bad though, it's never nice when companies go out of business.
I wonder if not doing extra track tokutens could've hurt, no incentive to buy more copies.

>>16758077
>the switching aspect was half-assed
I definitely agree, but there were some cute moments in it. Vol.3 was usually cute when they got to the "dude receives" tracks, though the voice was a little grating.

Their non-h is cute though, if a bit boring. I wish they had a BGM cd, it was usually good.

>Omerta FD
>Liu notices Wong has a crush on Uozumi so he hooks them up and they get an extra story with ero CGs
Wasn't expecting to see side characters officially paired to this extent.

>>16757658
If you want to discuss the relationship between two female characters from an otome game I don't really see any objection to it really.

>>16752214
I didn't even know K still had an audience.

>http://to.karin-e.jp/
Soon.

>>16759447
I forgot, is this supposed to be an R-18 brand?

>>16759447
The only design that looks interesting is the shounen looking silhouette. Everyone else looks like dime a dozen otome.

>>16722016
This is just high school Seventh Heaven, right? I think these guys are a bit crazier, though.

>>16759589
We only know this

More CGs and new characters got added.

And Side Kicks got released yesterday.

>>16760134
They've already released regular otome games on their main 'brand' so I'm curious why they feel the need to create a new sister brand.
Guess we'll see tomorrow, wonder if it's a phone game or something.

>>16760232
Anyone preordered Side Kicks? I'm interested, but waiting for reviews.

>>16760634
Don't even suggest such heresy.

Wonder why they bothered creating a new brand. They think regular karin is too 'fairytale' or something?

>>16763144

Could it be half-price stuff maybe? That seems to be getting more popular. Kalmia8 split brands between long/short titles recently.

>>16765053
I know he's just a really pretty boy, but the promotional art >>16764280
made him look like a reverse trap.

>>16765505
I wouldn't have minded if he was actually a reverse trap.

>>16764280
>a Karin game with nice art

I like Oyayubihime's aesthetic more desu.

This one's art is cleaner, but how do you manage to design an otome where only the girls look appealing?

>>16763929
An anime announced for game that's not even out yet. Will Vampire Swords really be that amazing?

I'm sure it'll be popular.

>>16756079
FUCK.

I also enjoyed Reversible. Thoroughly.

>>16765836
I'm I the only one who tends to just completely ignore the other girls in otome games.
The guys look fine to me, I like how the descriptions are in first person.

>>16757658
>>16757801
I get what Anon is saying. They want female written romance, not male the perceived fantasy of lesbos. I am fond of that myself, but there is very little out there. We tend to get this through one off tomboyish takarazuka like girls.

>>16767564
not the male. Sorry.

>>16767564
Yeah, I get it, but /u/ still exists.
This tread is about cute boys, that's the link between BL and Otome.

>>16767625
Absolutely correct. That Anon and myself would have to discuss it there. I only meant to say I understand what they mean when they want otome yuri, even more so because it has popped up once in a while.

>>16767833
It's still not called 'otome yuri' though. That was what the point of the first post was.
It's just yuri for the female audience.

>>16697862
The description for Bara no Ki in the BL section of the rec chart sounds hilarious.

>>16768014
it's just condensed from vndb, like most of them are.

if someone has something better or can condense it more then please edit it.

>>16767833
If you want to talk about yuri routes in games that are otherwise otome games(Gekka, Oyayubihime, etc) we've had discussions about them in the past and you're welcome to do that here. Anything else is better off in /u/.
We have had stuff like Grand Stage and that one yuri mobage brought up before, but works like that that try to appeal to the otome crowd are so rare you won't have much to talk about.

Free rank *4 for everyone with points and rank *5 for everyone with 1mil points and up. Not a bad deal for everyone, really. Except for the ones who ranked high enough to already have the maximum amount of rank cards, w e l p

Reminds me, I added Omega Vampire recently. If someone can make the description shorter without it sounding worse that would be nice. I did what I could with it.

>>16771071
the story sounds legitimately good if you remove the omegashit

>>16771123
Well it doesn't exactly take itself very seriously, so it's not like it matters much either way.

Has anyone ordered from animate with a forwarder? Did it go smoothly?

It's all a bunch of secret club bullshit where you have to donate to get dl access these days.
Melty Cherry stopped uploading, but there's lots of old stuff there.

>>16769913
I only go on airavalky but you have to register before accessing her stuff. She updates often and even fixes dead links.
>kare pilo
Also nobody uploaded Murase's volume yet. I guess it's on otomedream but I can't speak chinese.

>>16771501
Yes, no problems.

Real fucking sick of luckydog on every cover.

>>16771710
I was also wondering where melty cherry went.

>>16772219
I said I've been listening to the CDs for a long time and listed a few of my favorite VAs.

>>16769913
Error world also stopped uploading but there's a lot of R18 stuff in there.

>>16771930
The whole thing for Murase was on soundcloud including tokuten

I think they took it down recently

>>16773117
Well fuck.
I never check those websites, maybe I should.

>>16773117
Well did you dl it for us?

Anyway I really should check to see if they have tokutens there that I don't have, but it's such a hassle to search and even if it's hard to hear the difference I still don't like stream quality.
Also gets me that they will upload it streaming somewhere but not provide a download link, it's just as illegal either way.

What did Ugajin do with his homemade porn collection post-route?

>>16773199
I was stupid enough not to, and I think I can't access it anymore due to the region I'm in. I can check to see if someone else has it though.

The event story is pretty cute, as is the song https://youtu.be/9Z2Oet1JoN4

>>16720953
>and even bothered to insert the TL into the game properly
Why don't people do this anymore? Seems everyone's putting their translation into VNR despite that being unreliable because 1) cloud 2) anyone can tamper with it.

>>16775840
Considering it's a niche within a niche, I'm guessing programmers willing and able to work on an otoge fanTL (or even aware of them existing) are hard to come by. And since using VNR seems to be considered "good enough", there's less incentive to bother doing otherwise.

I think it's mostly just that the hackers are in a completely different community. Most of the VN hackers I know would be happy to help an otome project if they were asked. A lot of them have gone legit recently though so it's harder to get help.

>>16776456
Looks like Jersey Death Sauce. They even have a curry brand of it in Japan, didn't even know they sold it there.

I personally prefer the Ultra Death sauce at 800,000 scovilles

Thanks doc.

Part 1 of that TaiAli translation masterpiece is coming in April.

>>16778543
1st?

Are there any gay VNs other than Hadaka Shitsuji where you play as the top and bang cute twinks?

Something as kinky as Hadaka Shitsuji would be preferred.

>>16778844
Are you an EOP? No Thank You is translated and has a top MC. Omerta is partially translated and also does.

Do you know Japanese? Then there's several more.

>>16778861

I can gleam some Japanese. Enough to navigate menus, mostly.

They're about fifty percent of what I'm after, what with the lack of effeminate twinks and all.

>>16778844
>>16778887
If you're looking just for nukige then there's Room No.9, Yari Mesu, Nonke Ippatsu Tabehoudai, and Fukushuu Teikoku. I guess most aren't effeminate though.

There's a bunch of seme MC games (like what >>16778861 gave for example) but those and most BL games in general are plotge.

>>16778905

Plot or smut is fine with me. So long as it caters to my admittedly shallow interests, I mean.

Although, yeah. It's hard to quite find what I seem to be after.

Yari Mesu is a winner though.Tokimachi Eisei is an artist I strangely like, even though I normally don't go in for muscular guys.

>>16778844
A few routes in Omega Vampire.

>>16779036

At least two of those routes look baller.

Like, why can't there be a gay Rance game? Where he just rapes all the cute twinks/traps/femboys who cross his path?

>>16774864
Yeah, pretty nice event story. I hope the rest can keep up the quality.
