A thread dedicated to best girl? My life is complete.

> LIKING A WAIFU WHO IS DEAF IN ONE EAR.

FAG DETECTED

We've had a lot of them last year.

Remember eternal lolis are the best.

I'm relatively new to /vn/ but that's good to hear.

Nice shoop

>not wanting eternal happiness with a girl who loves you

If Asuho is so good why doesn't she take it in the asuho?

Let's settle this once and for all:
strawpoll.me/10155837

Last time she tried to get kinky she ended up deaf in one ear.

Mare is best. Where are my Mare friends at?

Has there been any word on if the Seinarukana fandisc is going to be translated?

Why do people pretend to like Asuho anyway? Do they think anyone is actually dumb enough to believe someone could actually tolerate her?

/vn/'s too bakabaka to appreciate Mare.

I had to go for Kosame, sorry. Mare is good though despite the crippling handicap of being a loli.

Because she's an adorable deredere that spends endless nights practicing her cooking just to feed you a delicious meal the next day.

She is the best, but she is also one of the worst because of shitty route.

>crippling handicap
t. Pleb

Never.

>pretend

I actually love her. She was fucking adorable.

>loli
>crippling handicap
You want to fight?

That's creepy as hell.

At least she's not as bad as Isuzu.

>Kosame

Mah nigga.

I liked Isuzu because she hated everyone just as much as I initially did. We had a spiritual connection.

I really fucking hated the Hoshimemo cast at first. Took a lot for me to get around to somewhat enjoying them. The repetitive gags didn't help.

NG+ doesn't have All Rounders unlocked from the start. What bullshit is this?

To be fair, I understood how she felt. Holy fuck people, all she wants is to be left alone. Stop harassing her.

Dere Isuzu was adorable

Yeah, I would probably tell people to kill themselves if they bothered me as much as Chinami was bothering her.

B-but muh friendship and being alone makes you a worse person

Let's make /vn/ a Yuritopia!

You know, I guess if there has to be lesbians around they might as well be ghost lesbians. Can't put your dick in them then anyway.

Mare > Isuzu > Komomo > others

>Garbage yuri
>Not precious futa

I can get down with this list.

THANK YOU ASUHO BRO

Where's the love for Chinami?

HNNNNNNNG.

I need someone in my life like her.

She's okay. She's annoying as hell, but she's supposed to be so I don't mind.

>fake dick
fuck off

If Subahibi doesn't come out today I'm ending it.

If AstralAir doesn't come out today I'm ending it.

does route order matter in grisaia?

No.

Fake dicks are disgusting. I want whole dicks, testicles and all. No pussies either.

If Koiken Otome doesn't come out today I'm ending it.

Yes

Why is Yume such a bitch?

RIP user. It's going to be a month or so more.

*shrugs*


You're a bitch

moonrune reader here. subahibi a shit

lovely vents, vents are #1

IS THAT A FUCKING NIPPLE

Not enough sex

Try 6+ months since Sekai project approached them. The group was talking about it in IRC last night. No deal was reached but it's only a matter of time.

I fucking hate Sekai.
Why the fuck do they keep going after VNs that have already been translating/have a translation in process.
Lazy cunts

I bet even chuee would accept.

N-no. Chuee wouldn't do such a thing. He's a good man!

>man
>implying his balls ever dropped

Why else would he want to rape little kids?
Everyone has to feel masculine and powerful somehow.

Eternal lolis were made for headpats

Because most of the work is done so it's easy to just flip it for profit.

I don't rape

Are you saying Sekai sells meme translated games?

Yes.

Statutory?

So you glaze your dick with caramel to make them willingly suck on it?

Oh god RIP Koiken Otome.

And we all know the moment it hits Sekai's hands it means porn will be ripped out, content/dialogue censored, and it'll be released two years after it would have been released as a fanTL.

Fuck Dovac. Literally a parasite on the fantl community.

I'm hoping that user is just full of shit

Ditto, but we all know reality sucks.

Hopefully SP goes bankrupt and MG winds up leading the industry. Or JAST if they got more than a single fucking employee.

> A long time ago, unknown beings known as Kotona invaded Earth in search of food. Humans were unable to repel them until after a few years, some people gained special abilities known as ‘douryoku’ which allowed them to exterminate the Kotona and return peace to the world.

> Now, Seiichi attends the super-elite Kashinomori Academy which trains people with douryoku in preparation for another attack by the Kotona. However, even though he has great power, he doesn’t have the ability to manifest it, leading to him being labelled as ‘most useless one’. The rest of the students in his class all had great skill, but in particular one girl caught his attention. Akane had average powers even though she came from a distinguished family, so she trained hard daily to improve her skills. Watching her, he can’t help but want to help her and that was when his ‘Amplifier’ ability awakened. It is an unidentified power which greatly boosts the abilities of people who believe in one another. As a result, he was greatly sought after not only in the school, but in the world.

I feel like I'm reading an average anime battleharem synopsis. There's even a defined reason for all the girls in the academy to crave his dick (muh amplifier ability / power).

As long as the protagonist isn't insufferable to the extent, say, Hundred's protagonist is, I'm okay with this.

The sad reality is though that SP is more successful than MG when it comes to obtaining licenses, even if SP is mostly just stealing away translations already done, or translations in process. It's scummy, but it works for them. Plus they do things like Kickstarters to absolve themselves of any financial responsibility.

I'm not a regular here. Did someone translate the Hoshizora fandisc or something? Because I don't understand why a years old translation is such a hot topic right now.

This sounds exactly like those 2 identical battle harems shows that aired a couple seasons ago

Yes.

>I'm not a regular here

clearly.

Good VNs get regular discussion every now and then, regardless of their age.

Oh. Okay. Guess I'll... go replay Hoshizora then, maybe find a save and just do the Yume route.

How long is each of the stories in muv luv alternative chronicles 02

> SP is more successful than MG when it comes to obtaining licenses

This is deceptive. SP is managed extremely poorly, whereas MG is managed well and they make smart, safe deals on games because they usually operate in low volume.

SP, meanwhile is willing to pay the heavens to get a license. MG isn't. SP has yet to have a single profitable year thus far, they've been in the red every single year due to chronic mismanagement.

They use Kickstarters to soften the blow, but they still don't make a substantial profit from those because they accept ludicrous deals to aggressively acquire licenses. It's also quite possible that they've been so aggressive with Kickstartering is because they have so many cash-flow issues that it's basically a keep-up game to stay liquid and not have to take on even more debt. The Kickstarters give them some necessary padding in that regard.

Also, keep in mind that they're overstaffed, underqualified, overpaid, and also overspend on even basic shit ike flights (dovac mentioned that he flies first class and all that business when he was starting out). The flying to and from Japan substantially adds up too, instead of having some dedicated on-site personnel to handle it. Their in-house translators suck in every way.

It's literally a trainwreck in motion. Tragic, because they had a ridiculously good position two-three years ago that they've been busting by burning bridges, Phil Fish-level PR, poor management in every sense, and a willingness to publish literally anything, even the worst OELVNs, flooding Steam with awful crap for a quick buck, and killing their own market.

If MG was the one to make the first foray into Steam we'd be in a much better place.

I guess you have a better grasp of the situation than I do. Thanks for informative post.

Who wants to learn the language of mana used in Aselia and Seinarukana?

Okay, since Fakku has gone to shit, i have no actual "Good" place to look at hentai. Anyone got a site?

Exhentai

If you mean videos then I have no idea and would never stream anyway but if you mean hentai manga then I don't understand why anyone would ever have used fakku over sad panda.

Sadpanda. Also Fakku was never good.

The only thing I liked from Fakku were the Vanilla and Tsundere tags

sadpanda

The biggest difference between MG and SP is that one has partners that they work with, and the other just pursues specific games. MG tries to negotiate for their deals that usually involve a percentage of sales going to the original creators, or a cheaper initial fee in combination with that, and aren't above turning down a deal if it's too expensive and pursuing something else. They aggressively try to find stuff that's saleable, but not uber popular unless they can get it for cheap, because popular = expensive. It's literally the opposite 'strategy' as SP, and is far more stable long-term.

SP has have no real platform of their own like MG, have a piss-poor reputation, and even usually outsource the translation because it's cheaper (and more effective) to buy a fanTL then use your inhouse awful ones. They bring literally nothing positive to the table themselves and take a huge cut, so companies like Frontwing are noticing that they can release to the West themselves and eat all the profit themselves with zero licensing costs, and use a Kickstarter for guaranteed profit and advertising.

> Fakku.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sadpanda, there's no other choice

I used Fakku years and years ago before I knew what Sadpanda was, let alone how to get in

>Not using sadpanda and nhentai
You're not living your life correctly.

Fakku used to be decent, you could scale the pages to your monitor, tags were easy to navigate, and most of it was in english. For videos i just use nyaa and haven't gone wrong with it. but for manga and doujins i haven't found anything worth it since fakku went to shit.

I forgot i could even use exhentai. Is there a way to only get english results? also how do i navigate tags?

Incest tag was good back when they still had it

This shit is off-topic.
Fuck off back to

>tfw never been on a plane before
you can exclude languages in settings

i've been using nhenati recently, but not having the pages scale to my tv is becoming extremely annoying. I always forget exhentai is a thing but i should be using it more. The only time i even need it is when someone posts links to it =/

If it makes you feel better, I was deathly afraid of planes until I was like, 18, and every year I would fly with my family all the way down to the southern U.S. to see my grandparents.

Landing and takeoff were goddamn terrifying. Especially since I had no experience with plane physics until like, grade 9, so imagining that I'm just in a gigantic hunk of metal hurtling through the air at ridiculous speeds, kept afloat through some sort of magic was absolutely terrifying.

Thanks a lot, i never thought to look in settings... Now i just need to figure out how to use tags

Just type it in the search bar

yea i just figured that out, thanks. btw what resolution do you read at, or do you know of one that should show the whole page at once?

If MG is well managed why did they get cucked by surprise on Flowers?

I always wondered about this. If it was MG, they would have already had it out by now
