Imopara 2 upload where.

I'm unable to ask anyone else for lunch in Hatsukoi except Maya.
What part of the game locks me into their route? I didn't realize I was out of the common route.
Joseph Jackson
Why would you want to ask anyone else?
Nolan Gutierrez
Not denying Maya is a great girl, just wish they made it more obvious which route you were going for.
Nathaniel Anderson
>Why would you want to ask anyone else? You aren't an actual and living beta cuck?

When you chose the porno you wanted to watch is when you get locked into the route.

Is this the dumbest branching point of all time?

This is actually really dumb if it was true. I thought it was it the email thing prior to getting the 6th member.

Translating puns like this instead of making up an entirely new joke, yay or nay?
Connor Morris
If it is an official translation, do it like Little Busters! and include an easy to acces encyclopedia explaining puns, -san/-chan and other japanese culture references.
Evan Howard
Another one
Sebastian Roberts
Considering that pun is important at explaining why he gets called Omaru, I think it is fine. Idioms are more problematic.
James Perry
That's stupid, this is just a one-off pun. No need to interrupt the game and open another screen just to explain every joke.
Yeah agreed but I'm not sure about this
Jaxson Peterson
How about we post some pantyhose to liven the thread up?
Joseph Jenkins
If the translator is creative enough to think of a way to get the same effect of telling someone to shutup in a silly way by rhyming with their name, then it would be fine. But I would rather that literal translation be there instead of some badly written joke just for the sake of """""localization""""""
Nolan Thompson
That's not that bad
Colton Turner
The official Little Busters release with the encyclopedia doesn't really have useful entries like that. It's mainly about what certain objects are; there are tons of cultural references with no entries and a lot of the jokes are translated literally so it just reads stiffly and doesn't make sense at times. Compare the official release of Clannad which had an actual thorough encyclopedia coupled with a more localized translation, where everything made sense and read smoothly.

So can someone explain the ending of Kei's route for me? Who was the father of Kasumi's child? Was it just some random person as she had to get pregnant, or was it Mercurius

MG's releases aren't bad. Did I miss something?
Brandon Price
Wtf, I love Doddler now
Carson Peterson
Is Umineko a looong read like Higurashi?
Nicholas Ortiz
Yes. Maybe a bit longer honestly
Juan Wood
What have they released in the last year though? DC3, Dal Segno, a fandisc, a bunch of nukige, a bunch of shitty EVNs, and an otome? And the fandisc was probably the best one.
Carter Cox
Nigga... Took me a week reading almost the entire day to finish just the question arcs of Higurashi
I guess I'll pick up some moege now
Austin Sullivan
Neko's H-scene Genital rubbing, licking, cowgirl in the church, hugging. Extra has them both being dominant with each other
Tsubaki's H-scene Naizuri and missionary. Extra is basically screwing in a wedding dress and not much else
What a downgrade
Dylan Cox
Wasn't the thing that Itou Life left Moonstone for some reason? Not necessarily that they wouldn't work on anymore VNs, unless I'm uninformed. At least doujins are still being made, and they're pretty good.
Chase Johnson
I'm thinking something along the lines of a bazooka blowing up a shitsu for being yappy but it's not really clicking.
Aiden Nelson
I'll admit the year was sort of weak compared to last year but they still had some good releases
Gabriel Hall
>when you delay your game so much and it's still shit
Is there a torrent for this yet? I didn't even know ImoPara2 was out.
Aiden Bennett
>Having friends GET OUT REEEEEE
Joseph Cox
It was the year of Circus, unfortunately. We would've had a nice release in SukiSuki but the company had to go and die. Oh well, at least there's a lot to look forward to next year. I can't wait for Evenicle desu
Levi Fisher
W Happiness was their only good release. DC3 and DS were both chalk full of shitty drama. Am I missing something else from them?
Asher Morales
Well that makes it a worse ending then I thought.
Luis Barnes
yea that's how I roll
Kayden Sanders
Do you guys still watch anime?
Easton Johnson
smuk
Jackson Allen
This nip obsession with creating virtual substitutes for life experiences is too dangerous. I wonder what advances they will make in the next couple decades. I think vr will mark the beginning of the decline of the human race.
Lincoln Edwards
only DBS
Lincoln Hughes
Usually one or two shows every season
Alexander Bennett
Yeah, been meaning to watch Blend S and I gotta finish KareKano
Nicholas Adams
The human race is already on decline, might as well have fun while everything goes down.
Joshua Smith
>Blend S jesus, you have a terrible taste
Oliver Turner
Not much. I usually prefer manga nowadays.
Evan Roberts
It just came out like a couple of hours ago be patient nig
Xavier Diaz
Why? The chads won't need it.
Charles Walker
No I really don't like I used to, besides a few shows. I feel that there used to be more anime original stories that were four cour long, but now most things are one cour adaptations of either manga, light novels, or visual novels. Manga and light novels both suffer from never ending serialization, so those grew really boring. Especially considering the never ending harem antics that go along with it, and the author doesn't choose a main girl because it would lose viewers/readers from shippers of other girls. VNs though don't suffer from those. They are full stories, and you get to choose the girl. As such, I have now transcended beyond anime.
Owen Edwards
Rarely
Aiden Clark
And at least they're releasing 3 titles over this next month (2 since ImoPara2 came out) Also it's a no-brainer MG does a lot of Circus stuff, since Circus is one of the companies that created MG. They also sell well, so MG doesn't have a reason to not do their VNs, even if most of them are boring, filled with drama.
Ayden Lewis
I liked most of DC3. Shadows of Pygmalion was apparently pretty good though I never read it
Lust of the Apartment Wives is kind of hot in some CGs
Noah Garcia
There are a small number of shows that I rewatch occasionally, but I don't watch anything new.
Chase Bell

>Also it's a no-brainer MG does a lot of Circus stuff, since Circus is one of the companies that created MG. I know it's a no-brainer, but it still sucks. Circus is so bad. I liked parts of DC3 but it was just such a waste of time.
It's ok. Some years you just don't have good releases. 2016 was just a really great year all around for MG releases and a bit hard to live up to (tons of varied titles and some pretty great ones).
My dick is looking forward to ImoPara 2, though.
>Lust of the Apartment Wives is kind of hot in some CGs No way, man.
