(Part 3) Best products from r/visualnovels

Well, you can either go to Amazon and pay $400 (and I greatly recommend this if you have the money to spend), or you can get it through less legitimate means.

yeah bro, you can find it here

Yeah, it is. That's a very high price though. Here's one I found for cheaper, though it's in Japanese.

here's the switch link as well

Amazon is temporarily out of stock, but you can still get this price if you go to the all seller's page.

I was thinking about going for this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R76D42/ref=s9_acsd_al_bw_c_x_3_r From the sample tests I've heard it sounds the same as the Yeti (at least to me), and it's more affordable for a poor little weeb like me.

But I don't know what to go for in the end. I have a somewhat weirdly low voice so I wanted something that could pick it up well enough. I'll be grateful for any recommendations under or around 70 euros that might work for my situation.

Was just about to post this

   So, yeah...
   
   
   

How about this?

I mean I thought it was getting a Vita release too... Even Amazon has it listed unless it was cancelled or something. https://www.amazon.com/Utawarerumono-Mask-Truth-PlayStation-Vita/dp/B01N4PIC40/

Though I will be getting on PS4 myself either way. Just brought it up for the other guy who apparently doesn't have one.

It was sold at the last summer Comiket, and is already getting hard to find. I got my copy from AmiAmi, though of course they're sold out by now. There are still 6 copies left from 3rd-party sellers on Amazon, though.

The Majikoi S OST is comparatively cheap on amazon and generally easily available - it's even on itunes. The Majikoi OST is sadly more difficult to find, I quickly could only dig up cdjapan and amazon.co.jp if that helps.

You can actually find Japanese copies of it on Amazon (regular) here https://www.amazon.com/Visual-Arts-Rewrite/dp/B004GUTDY4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1466890877&sr=8-4&keywords=rewrite

Though as of writing this there's only 1 copy left and you'd still need to find the fan translation. There's a localized version coming of a much newer version of Rewrite, but as we mentioned there's no ETA on that.

>but I don't recall Crime and Punishment or Ivan Denisovich featuring any footnotes or appendices either.

Translations of classic literature almost always incorporate footnotes. In fact, the footnotes in Pevear's edition of Crime and Punishment is so numerous, there's 13 in the small sample you can read for free on Amazon, not to mention a 2 page translator's note at the beginning to explain how Russian names work - http://www.amazon.com/Punishment-Vintage-Classics-Fyodor-Dostoevsky-ebook/dp/B008QLVMTI

Generally speaking there's 2 methods of translation. Genre fiction is usually localised, in which case there's no need for translator's notes. The other method is a more literal translation which incorporates a great many translator's notes to explain aspects of culture, sayings, and words (this method is used mostly in literature.) Every piece of classic Russian literature that's been translated (that I've seen) is littered with translator's notes.

Most visual novels don't incorporate glossaries despite being translated fairly literally because most visual novels are subject to a fairly dodgy translation philosophy. In contrast, games like Ace Attorney were localised (some would say over-localised) and therefore don't need them.

That being said, you are right that poor translator's will use TL notes as a crutch. That classic anime example about 'keikaku' springs to mind. But just because it can be used badly isn't a reason to not use them at all.

EDIT: I think MG did a good job incorporating that glossary with KnS2. Really nice work.

Not really actually. Here's one for $79.99, which has been marked down lower during sales. Includes console, 8GB memory, and a controller.

I hope that this is in some way relevant, if not just information for those not subscribed to any other anime/Japan-oriented sub apart from r/visualnovels. I only read about it on my email provider's news section.

As of writing this at least 20 people are DEAD

33 dead, 36 injured and 4 with no major injuries; the culprit has already been apprehended.

An employee of KyoAni (personal hero) chased the mfer to his home where he was apprehended by the police shortly after.

​

Edit 1: KyoAni is famous for adaptations such as: Kanon (Anime series adaptation, Amazon), Air (Anime series adaptation, Amazon), Clannad (Anime series adaptation, Amazon) and 'A Silent Voice - Koe no Katachi' (Anime movie adaptation, Amazon). They were NOT responsible for the Anime movie adaptation of 'Your Name - Kimi no Na Wa'.

Edit 2: Wikipedia page of the incident with some more information.

Edit 3: Link for the GoFundMe page taken from the original post.

Edit 4: Linked Amazon pages for the most famous works. I hope that some of the money spent there will go to KyoAni. Here's also a guide if you want to support them not only through the GoFundMe.

As I said, Planetarian is one of the few games I've bought, I was hinting that I pirated all the rest.

Don't think they've been licensed in the west so you'll have to pay out your arse if you want the hard copies. F/SN is available for the low price of only $415
