Let me know if I missed any project that is active, not including something like Quartett! since no idea if that is dead or alive. Also let me know if my information is out of date for any of this, I believe it should be fully updated

Don't forget MG's Kira Kira Curtain Call and Dengeki Strikers ( http://vndb.org/v2375 ). MG is basically a mass profit maker for Overdrive now.

Too bad her route is the last one, Ohwell at least there's Kanon route to look forward to.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3226331
The whole main route of G-Senjou is basically hers, so theorically you could play 2/5 of her route already (altough she gets proper focus only at the last chapter), and if their translation speed remains decent it's going to be finished this year.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3226327
Yeah, what gives? People have said that they'd translate it if script was ripped, and it's been posted many times.

As for the fandiscs, once they officially say "we will release them", I'll add them, as I am not totally convinced that they will release them

Also with MangaGamer, they should be releasing Circus game(s) next year, but not putting those down until a particular one is confirmed to be next.

[Sakura !!sCKns1iPkwx No.]

In the scripts that have been posted, I don't even know who is talking or who is being spoken to half the times. Also just ripping the script doesn't help if you can't get it back in.

I wonder how much the TLwiki people are getting for legally translating Nitro+ stuff.

[Anonymous No.]

No, I actually asked Ixrec himself (over the phone) and he told me that he is gonna start asking for commisions like DT. He also told me that he was gay and wants his dad to rape him while he brushes his teeth in the shower. I was like, WTF!? And then he says, unga bunga. Now we know that Ixrec is a money grubbing serial rapist who says unga bunga.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3226695
This. Muv-Luv is too freaking long, to properly enjoy it you have to translate the whole series. You'll really need a dedicated team that just focused on doing the whole series.

[Yuyucow !izhBpjwbEg No.]

I'm not sure yet, but I'll probably vote Baldr Sky, Swan Song and Sekien no Inganock. Saihate no Ima and RuiTomo would be cool too.

Muvluv is such an excellent series that every translator should translate it as a rite of passage. This will also provide everyone a choice of preference based on the translator's styles, so that everyone can fully experience the radiance of the story, unhindered by a disagreeable translation.
