A bunch of us /sword/ refugees set up a discord. You're cordially invited to the welcoming party.

https://discord.gg/7dm3rhe

>>17828493
>discord
Fuck off.

>>17828508
Where else do you want then, reddit?

>>17828522
/sword/ has been here for years, why are you only now having a problem with it?

>>17828526
>go to /vg/
>no /sword/
>latest thread died before it could ever take off

With a discord it gives tkrb discussion some much needed life plus we don't get lost in the shuffle with the other things in this general.

Plus it's a better alternative to the wiki server that's populated by tumblr trash.

>>17828493
When did this happen? There hasn't been a /sword/ thread since the anime ended, I thought people would just rather wait to make it again when Hanamaru S2 happened or something.

>that's populated by tumblr trash.
The discord doesn't look any better though.

>>17828536
>discord "discussion"
>much needed life
If that's really what you want then please go and stay go.

>>17828547
>When did this happen?
Probably some idiots on twitter or a pre-existing discord. I've always had the suspicion we've been getting linked from there for a while now.

>>17828493
I'm willing to give this place a chance if it means I can talk for days about my swordbando and not be judged for it.

>>17828568

>>17828578

Speaking of swords, when will Kashuu get his kiwame update?

>>17828631
Go ask discord.

>>17828493
Just read a bunch of the chat and they don't seem like they're from here at all, just desperately trying to recruit people to their dead server because they don't fit in in another one.
>omg, lol, lmao, ?????? after every other message

>>17828676

>>17828493
If the wiki peopel weren't prude with langauge and cringy tumblers, I'd suggest their discord server.
But I hope this one last longer than a thread.

>>17828631
Starters's date is a mistery, maybe for last or middle through, nobody knows.
I only want to know then the rest of the osafunes blades will return, I need to ends my revenge for disturbing my sword collection ratio, as well wasting lots of resources.

>>17828854
because literal 15 year olds are just so much better.

>>17828676
>>17828854
>>17828873
Discords always generate trouble whenever they're brought up into any general or thread.
Even if the original poster probably had a good intention, I don't think it was a good idea to post it here. Specially after all the recent fuzz regarding /sword/ and also very early in a thread, which might catch mods attention (if it does at least).
It's likely it'll go undercover like most sekrit clubs do so if people join good for them. But it's better not to generate unnecessary problems so suddenly.

>>17828828
Yeah that explains it.

>>17828451
Pretty, but the OP kinda turns me off.

For the anon on the other thread :

I think fudanshi is the term for the male fans of BL.

>>17829413
The male equivalent of a fujoshi. Just like that short anime where the mc wasn't actually gay but loves yaoi and doujinshi revolved around it.

>>17828631
The starters swords will probably get their kiwame at the same time.

>>17829726
Hopefully soon then, i was a bit disappointed when i saw Yasu got one. Even though his is really good looking and all haha

Do they show figures at AGF

>>17828631
I'm willing to bet the 5 starters will be the last uchigatana kiwames to get released.
It better be just as good as Yasusada's kiwame.

>>17830446
>It better be just as good as Yasusada's kiwame.
I wonder what will happen during Kashuu's kiwame travel.

>>17830465
Not sure during his travel, but i'm gonna guess he's gonna have a revelation that he is loved and wont be so insecure about that anymore.

>>17830446
I'm gonna be honest and say i will be kinda mad if the starters all get their kiwame last lol ;;

>>17830490
>lol ;;

>>17830465
I can't even picture him wanting to leave in the first place, so it'll be interesting to see what they do with him.

>>17830484
This is what I don't like about kiwame. He's already perfect and his insecurities are part of that so I don't want them to change it too much. But I don't want them to aggravate them either. There's no winning.
I'd rather his kiwame didn't happen at all.

Trap idol's probably one of those onee types. The ones that are girly until they're overcome with love/lust.

>>17830966
Agreed. I feel a team-up is much more satisfactory than just a tired old fight.

Has anyone tried the Rejet idol mobage? Does it better than Live on Stage?

Retail when

>>17835028
Dark Night Princess was always like that. First CD is almost majority sex scenes with little plot in between. Then the rest of them go down the same routes other fairy tale erotic retellings go.

>>17836714
I didn't see the first one uploaded on the usual site. Is it available somewhere?

Hasebe and Souza's kiwame outfits turned good. Souza's almost didn't change.

Two military commanders wanted a duel and she actually challenged them both at the same time, that absolute madwoman. Kan'u a best.

>>17836796
Souza looks really good, just need to level him now.

>>17836870
It's an odd title, though. It's a very loose adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and it shows; most of the game consists of military campaigns and scheming. It's not exactly romantic in the usual sense.

Ichu's menu redesigns look awful, I wonder what the devs were thinking when they did the upgrade.

>>17836726

>We want the Touken audience

Still looks generic but at least it's not idols or isekai, so good luck to them

>>17836137
I gave Rejet's mobage a try, but I've never played Live on Stage so I can't make any comparison.
That being said, Star Revolution is just another cute but generic idol mobage. Neither the guys nor the story interest me and the live gameplay is boring - which is a shame since the songs are nice. I can't see myself playing it for longer than a week, at most.

Its hard mode is harder than LoS (not saying much) and I suppose it's more fun than B-project (also not saying much)

I dunno, so far the stories are not bad but they're bland and safe. I can't imagine many would drop their aidorufus for this.

I'd also have to ask how Anon describes him. I don't think smug is the best word. He can seem a bit standoffish though it's a front because he's no game no life.

I wonder if they won't continue duos and we'd get something like the wan wans next.

Are there any BL games where you self-insert as the plain faceless gay protagonist and live a comfy high school life and date hunky high school boys? Or are such games only restricted to otome?

you're better off looking in another genre or in western shit.

I somehow missed that he's getting a figure.

For all the figures this game is getting, the poses are all really damn boring.

>>17859081
Yeah it's unfortunate. They could do a lot of interesting figues when it comes to swords but they choose to do the same standard in-game poses, it's getting stale. No wonder ALL the scales are binning.
I don't know if this is the fault of the sculptors choosing to do default poses or GSC telling them to do so.
I'm jealous of the treatment dmmd got, even though all of them were based off specific illustrations.

>>17859132
>dmmd
Is there a reason why specifically this game gets so many adventurous figures? I would guess Nitroplus connections but swordshit is also Nitroplus. Why isn't something like Luckydog1 for example getting shit at all when that's practically been the face of BL games for a while now?

>>17859081
I don't know why everybody is so scared of coming up with creative poses. Those Hanamaru scales with the default character design poses were an insult.
I want to believe in Revolve but it's probably not going to happen.

>>17859160
>Is there a reason why specifically this game gets so many adventurous figures?
Honyalala likes to do really extravagant(?) illustrations, it shows. And the main sculptor for her figures is pretty much a fan of the VN. But I'm sure it's because of the illustrations they're based on though, Original Aoba came from a calendar illustration and Gothic Aoba was from a kuji series.

>Why isn't something like Luckydog1 for example getting shit at all when that's practically been the face of BL games for a while now?
Tennenouji isn't exactly well known and they aren't an overtly commercial company like Nitroplus. Plus, Lucky dog designs aren't exactly flamboyant or unique enough to be translated well into figures. Also, personally I don't think it's all that popular. I think Mebiusline would probably have a better shot at getting figures but again the problem of not being an overtly commercial company is a problem.

>>17859171
>Revolve
Even if they made a good sculpt with a different pose the final product would be terrible since Revolve is pretty shitty.

>>17859214
Luckydog's Japanese fanbase is pretty prominent on twitter and it gets a lot of doujins. I'm sure Cool-B's bias/shilling of it makes it look bigger than it probably is too, but it's still pretty damn popular none the less.

I remember Mio Kouji mentioning earlier this year that she wants Kyouichirou to be made into a figure. I wonder if she'll ever succeed.

Shitty adaptations aren't going to make anybody pick up the game. What the fuck are they doing? They even managed to ruin a simple chibi anime.

>>17860629
Figures, a new forum right when I got rid of the app because the other units were boring.
>>17870731
Who knows. Reminds me of that one low level bl OVA. It would have been better to just read the manga which listening to a drama CD.

>>17870731
Why that route first? Even the director recommended you do his route 3rd. Unless they spill everything for the first two routes it's just going to confuse secondaries, and I can't imagine it's aimed at existing fans at all.

>>17870941
If you look it up it seems they're doing all the routes separately. I have no fucking clue who this shit is aimed at.

>>17870731

Are there any BL VN to Manga adaptions that are actually worth reading? They always seem to be terrible adaptions.

>>17871000
Lucky Dog's manga seem to be doing alright. It's been recently updated too. There's still five untranslated volumes to go.

>>17870987
Nevermind, turns out I was looking at something else. I don't know what they're doing.

>>17870731
Here's the artist: https://twitter.com/yuyutaso

They seem to like the game. That cover is fucking ugly though.

>>17871059

>>17871069
>their fanart is better than their published art

>>17871082
>no homo
Looks like it from the available chapters. Still a good read despite that. The art style used goes well with the story. No idea how it'll go down in the last half.

>pairings
Really? The characters were well-written so maybe those people got too attached. The prison scene where Bernardo plays along with Giancarlo to tease Ivan was comedy gold.

Shame there's no harem ending. Giancarlo's a good balance to those four.

>>17871082
Almost raged, but such sensitivity is really just hilarious.

>>17870941
>Why that route first?
Senge's the most fucking popular love interest from the game of course they'd do him first. It's really obvious.

>>17871216
Sure, but it's not a good way to pull in secondaries. Imagine doing his route first.

>>17871109
Their fanart is good.
The trashy cover makes me worry that it's going to be OOC.

>>17871228
They probably want to rely on pre-existing fans for most sales.
Although given that even the Japanese side thinks that cover is disgusting, they're not off to a good start.

>>17871082
>brought in a bunch of secondaries that get triggered when you talk about pairings
How is that possible? Do they really not know that the material they're reading is actually based on a homo game?

>>17871574
Very possible and I've seen similar myself for other series. Exactly the type of shit that makes people hate secondaries.

Finally finished Juuzaengi 1. It's a long game with six main routes, so clearing it takes a while. It has also earned a longer review.

The game is a very loose adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, though aside from the character names, general story roles and countries, it mainly does its own thing. The story
has two central points - Cao Cao and his military and state-building ambitions and the attempts of the Maozoku tribe to live their lives amidst the turbulent world of humans. The conflict between her desire for peace and normalcy and the knowledge that she can influence and change things for the better if she gets involved is also the core axis of the heroine’s character development.

Juuzaengi 1 is very much a game focused on the plot, worldbuilding, and character development; those looking for romance will probably be disappointed, because most Kan’u / Guan Yu’s relationships are something else first and romantic second - for the guys, she is mainly a challenger, a comrade, a rival, a mother, a guardian, or a sister, who can also become something more. This change also doesn't have to be entirely positive.

Routes: The game is more or less split between the two main routes - Liu Bei, the young chief of the Maozoku tribe, and Cao Cao, the ambitious military commander whose arrival starts the events of the game. These two also remain extremely prominent in all the other routes, especially Cao Cao.
Cao Cao’s route is the most tense and action-packed and gives tons of character development to both the main and secondary characters; Liu Bei’s is more intimate and domestic, with a dash of fantasy to contrast Cao Cao route’s realism. The rest of the routes essentially orbit these two, though Zhao Yun/Chouun and Zhang Liao/Chouryu's stray away in their own direction.

Verdict:
Juuzaengi is an excellent VN with a strong and dedicated MC, great world, and lively and well-developed characters and relationships. It has its weak points (Chouhi/Zhang Fei’s route doesn't work too well in its later stages and has considerably weaker writing than the rest of the game) and it never reaches such stunning heights as Nitroplus’ Soukou Akki Muramasa for example, but it still stands head and shoulders above the usual VN fare, especially otome games.

9/10

Is a good blge adaptation even possible within the realm of possibility? First the source material has to be good at the very least, and second because the source material is BL they have to keep the gay otherwise what's the point? Unless it's a VN that has a good plot on it's own that doesn't rely too much on buttsex or romance I could maybe see it get nohomo'd.
It seems like any possibility is cursed by default.

>>17872414
VNs are hard to adapt in general for various reasons. Same with games. In BL's case it's probably even harder finding people willing to do it and most companies can't afford it. Mebiusline got a lousy 5 minute anime specifically because anything else was way too expensive, and it's not like that game is bad either.

>>17872414
So you don't think there's a single BL game with a good plot?

>>17872513
You're misunderstanding me there, there are definitely some games with a good plot but they wouldn't really work well as an anime because there'd have to be so much cut content either to appeal to a mainstream public or because of anime regulations. A personal favorite of mine will always be sweet pool but it would be absolutely atrocious in anime form for many many reasons.

>>17871254
>>17871270
I care less about the art and more if it's going to be out of character as well. Since they're a fan and it's being supervised by HW, I'll give it a chance. Maybe they just suck at cover composition. It's not smart to piss off the largest faction of your fanbase either so hopefully the contents aren't as trashy/shallow as the cover or they'll never shut up about it.

>>17871795
Guess I'll add this to my huge backlog. I hate how I start 5 games at once and take forever to finish them.

Are those doujin games of anime/manga/games ever any good?

>>17879393
Not really. Original doujin games can be good, but even those are extremely rare. One example is HaccaWorks, whose games (Hanakisou and Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino) are genuinely excellent even though they look cheap as fuck.

>>17878716

I hate Aoba but he looks pretty good there. I wonder if the rumour that if Aoba sells well enough they'd do the rest of the other Gothic illustrations is real so I could get him in hopes I get an actual Youji fig.

I think It's probably because it was painted on a whim, doubt the final product will look like that.

What rumor? If you heard it from foreign fans, forget about it.

>>17880611
I know, but I still want to believe.
I want this Aoba bias to end

>>17879393
It probably depends on how much you like the relevant series and the individual writers.
I have played many original doujin games that were pretty good and entertaining.

Which game is more worth the price? Bad Apple or Collar Malice?

Looks like this came out of the early 2000s

>>17880853
It was originally a PS2 game.

>>17880851
Definitely CollarxMalice. BAWs isn't really that good, it's mediocre at best. Sometimes I wonder how Aksys chooses the games they localize considering they also picked Period Cube when there are a ton of great otome games out there that deserve to be localized. The otome games out on 2018 (especially the Psychedelica games) are good though.

Do you think I have a chance of finding rips of OnoKen's tour DVD/BD or is he not popular enough? I won't give up and I'll try some Russian and Chinese sites but it looks to me like I'll have to buy it.

>>17893896

>>17894164
Do I need to register to use the search function to its fullest? I've just used google in combination with their site like you'd do on baka.bt back when it was open. Nevermind that, while checking it I found all the videos uploaded on bilibili so that confirms rips exist, thanks anon.

Never. As phones continue to deliver and stay in hands constantly so will mobile games improve and be created to keep your attention via graphics, VAs, etc.

>Basically, VNs that aren't targeted at straight dudes are fair game here
Eh? What? I'm completely straight and love the shit out of otome games. Although I suppose I understand the statement

So anyway, as a guest to your thread I want to be polite, I've played perhaps 4 otome games. I just discovered Gyutto.me and I was hoping someone could guide me to the part of their site with sales. All that kanji scares me.

Thank you Ufotable.

>>17903825
Do you just pay attention to the MC at all times?
Because playing a game that focuses on dating guys is pretty gay.

>>17903825
The disclaimer is mostly so stuff like Fate or any other random non-/blog/ VN doesn't get posted here but either way yeah. Though do you actually like the romantic development between the girl and the dude? Because that's pretty gay.

>>17904209
>>17904324
Ummmmm sweeties, you don't get to decide a person's gender-fluidity.

>>17904324
Not him but I pick the dude that's most like myself and self-insert there.

>>17904337
Don't you even start with that shit here.

>>17904209
>>17904324
Not him either but that doesn't really make them gay because it's a romance between a guy and a girl after all. There are guys who are just into some cute and vanilla romance (though there are fucked up otome games as well) and plus, it also helps that otome MCs tend to get top tier designs. I know some guys who enjoy shoujo and one of them is watching the C:R anime. If anon on the other hand, enjoys BL games, then that makes him kinda gay.

Wait, why did I never notice this thread on /jp/? I mentioned otome games to a friend just the other day.

>>17903825
>I'm completely straight and love the shit out of otome games.
I'm curious now. Why do you love them?

>>17904456
This is true and reversely applies to females who like /h/. It’s easy enough to pick the most interesting or enjoyable route.
>>17904593
Besides that one attempt years ago, we were on /vg/ since the start and moved a few months ago. You can miss these things if you’re used to certain threads and search the catalog? Either way, welcome.

>>17905275
I'm a romance junky and it's so much better from the girl's perspective. I like shoujo comics too for the same reason.

>>17903825
I've seen anons in the visual novel translation progress thread who are so against otome that they said it was "unfortunate" that more of them were getting translated recently, so it's fair to say that usually they aren't aimed at straight dudes.

>>17907056
They're never aimed at straight dudes.

>>17903839
If you can't get around that site on your own you should stick to reading in English.

>>17902558
Kyou uses a very wrong pronoun at one point here and Tatebayashi's name is wrong through the whole thing.
People are really, really mad about it.

I like that Senge finally used his whip though.

>>17907056
There's mostly scared to attract female posters so they shit on these games because they are target at girls.

>>17900088
I'm just surprised some people are willing to pay 20+ dollars for a subpar fan translated patch. I guess some people are that desperate.

Though so far except for hakuouki and Mystic Messenger (in spite of his subpar graphics) the mobage otome VN are shit.

I wonder if more proper VN are going to be ported in the futur ?
Maybe when the vita is going to die ?
Or are they going to produce VN for the switch ?
But eventually it's all going to mobile, IMO.
but people will have to be ready to pay a good sum at once for a proper game and not a bigger sum on a long time through microtransactions.
The economic model of current mobages is pure cancer.

I thought that was Shinigami to Shoujo?

>>17912518
Nobody outside otome circles cares about that came. I believe they mean by acknowledged by people outside the hobby, which will never happen regardless of quality because of the target demographic of these games, and I don't understand the desire for it either.

>>17912529
*game
Wow I messed that post up.

>>17912518
Is it really that popular?

>>17912507
Too late for that.

Just saw the new Code:Realize episode. Out of the changes they did with the anime, this is probably the one I disliked the most. They pretty much removed the conversation between Cardia and Finis at the laboratory plus San stabbing Finis which kinda ruins the plot twist that Finis can come back from the dead

>>17912660
Cult popularity? Nips always praise it but it probably didn't get a lot of sales because >Takuyo

>>17916245

Basically. It kinda feels like there's a small group of people who frankly, overrate it. But I guess it's also old+takuyo+no port so it doesn't get much exposure. I was pretty sure they'd port it after TaiAli did well but who knows what they are thinking.

Still can't believe no one bought the chiral night rhythm carnival

Loved the demo, but I can't find the game anywhere

>>17917779
People definitely did since Chiral has so many die hard overseas fans but they're probably too dumb to rip it. Then again many don't even buy things, could be waiting just like you. Isn't the game only $30?

>>17917807
>since Chiral has so many die hard overseas fans
You mean there's only dmmdfags, not actual chiralfags. Even when trying to look for information about the upcoming game, I can't find anything at all so I had to religiously look things up myself with streams and etc since even tumblrinas aren't digging enough info for my liking.
I would buy the rhytm game and rip it for some anons interested but I'm trying to wait and see what C93 will bring before I spend money on things yet.
