Hey ngn, did you manage to get Little Busters to work? I never heard from you after my last post to you, so...
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
I got all these in 1 order via proxy at getchu if you want them. 1995¥ for each game.
Be sure to check out the pages with care as some are only DL versions.
True, that is also a problem with light novel adapations, they tend to never be completed. Many of my favourite anime are LN adaptations, so that might even be the bigger problem. I could kill for a second season of Black Blood Brothers or Ookami-san, for example.
As someone well-versed in Visual Novels, I can confidently say that in most circumstances, anime adaptations of a Visual Novel usually pale in comparison to their original source.
Some of the most notable examples being Fate/Stay Night and Umineko. Both of them are actually not that bad on their own, but when you compare them to their origins they essentially fall flat on their faces. The main issue is that too much information is compressed and the Anime tends to attempt to mash together several elements of the multiple routes, thus leading to an amalgamation of several different stories that often simply don't line up.
The most recent example I can think of would be an Anime/Visual Novel titled Mashiro Iro Symhpony. I went into this with a fairly open mindset, and the first several episodes came off with quite a good premise; that this wasn't going to unsuccessfully slam the multiple story routes together and hope it turns out alright. The first half was fairly focused, had good character development, and then suddenly... All of that vanished. They simply acted like all of the character focus hadn't happened and moved on to another heroine. And then they did it again. Two of the primary heroines weren't even touched on and become nothing more than supporting roles. Seeing all of that potential and character development completely forgotten and wasted was really a letdown from what seemed to be a very promising plot.
Now, having said all of that, not all adaptations are a letdown. Clannad was fairly well done, although having played through the VN I still wholeheartedly believe that the original does a better job portraying the emotions that usually flow with Key works. Steins;Gate was also a very well done and faithful adaptation, and I can easily consider it my favorite anime to date. Unfortunately, a good amount of (albeit minor) content was lost, some of which led a a deeper understanding of the events that transpired during the plot.
I'm almost afraid to find out how Angel Beats! is going to fare in VN form, as it was originally intended as an anime. Granted, Key has yet to let me down so far, so I do have faith.
The point of this rant? None. I just felt like sharing my opinion, albeit a long-winded and essentially pointless one. Thoughts? Responses?
I'm currently waiting for:
Little Busters! Ecstasy
Rewrite
Soukou Akki Muramasa
Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai!
Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Vol. 1-3
and @Rokudaime, ef- a fairy tail of the two has already been translated by No Name Losers.
I am having garbled text :/ Any idea on how to fix this? It happens during gameplay and I am currently using a windows 7Is the name of your game folder something unreadable/something strange? Or maybe in Japanese? Because that can sometimes cause that error to happen. Try renaming the game folder to something simple like "Tomoyo After" for example. If that's not it/doesn't work, make sure to do a clean install of the game, and then a clean install of the patch (after renaming the game folder).
I've tried that and it still has the garbled text

Hello Doki forums, I unfortunately have an issue with my Tomoyo IaWL game.
My OS is Windows XP, to make this problem less general.
The details go as follows: I can boot up and change the setting in the menu, and the menu theme plays fine. But whenever I try to start a new game (June 28th) I get an error message that looks like this:
RealLIVE error: FatalError: Could not find a suitable font.
What do?
Beardkittes, look here: http://doki.co/2012/09/22/tomoyo-after-english-patch-v1/comment-page-9/#comments And then check my responses to "alenus". Hopefully that should fix your problem. :-) I think you're missing the necessary Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. Let me know how it works out.
All right, The game loaded and I can see english subtitles on June 28th's scenes, so I am assuming that the rest of game is working fine too.
Thanks.
