Tentative 2022 plans

well... happy late-ish new year. been mostly out of it since saturday because of my booster... and geez, i have not felt this shitty since my 2nd shot. anyway, here’s hoping that this year will not be as crazy as last year... though i won’t hold my breath. having no expectations makes it harder to get disappointed... though i am looking forward to the next hakumyu musicals.

So. stuff for this year.

While id like to say that id normally be trying to have something posted almost every week again this year (not counting jan [spend this month stocking up on translations], feb [CNY this year], march [bday month] and dec [always do less then]), horizon zero west will be released in march... and i know that the game will suck away all of my translating time, provided that it does not have a disastrous release like cyberpunk 2077 lol (what can i say? i love my video games. also horizon zero dawn was absolutely amazing).

For now though, aside from Deemo -Prelude-, and the last 2 short episodes from yuugiroku 3, here’s what im hoping to translate this year... though i have no idea if i’ll get to everything. still, i really do want to finish translating shinsengumi oni-tan and get to translating the shimabara disturbance drama... and I would like to translate more dramas this year (im getting more than a tad sick of yuugiroku hahhaha).

some other saito chapter from ginsei no shou

tsukikage no shou -  yamazaki final chapter (only cuz i really like it)?

hakuoki kyoka-roku conversation in the rain v2 - Okita/Toudou/Kazama story

shinsengumi oni-tan (1/9 tracks remain. aside from from t1 and 2, i also ended up translating everything aside from track 3... cuz it was +10min... ah. ha. ha... *sigh* I swear, i am going to fucking finish translating this drama this year!)

shimabara disturbance (4/6 tracks remain. only did tracks 5 and 6... if someone wants pretty much no context, i can post them whenever haha)

薄桜鬼 ドラマCD ～十五夜花 ～

薄桜鬼 真改 ~風華大全~ 特典「稽古の痛み」

薄桜鬼 遊戯録弐 祭囃子と隊士達 A店特典「あなた好みの想いの形」

2011 OTOPA drama “Samurai Selling Medicine”

Nightshade Kuroyuki Cd

Café Enchanté Stellaworth Vocal CD

2016 otopa code realize drama

SSL drama with Harada/Kazama/Ibuki 

Yuugiroku stuff?

Hijikata Biyori?

regardless of what i end up doing/not doing, i know i’ll be stuck with yuugiroku for a while because of the patch... still have to figure out what still hasnt been translated later... or maybe i’ll just do that for the 2nd half of this year?

of course, if life gets really busy, i’ll have to cut down on what i put out again... or i might end up not being able to have posts done in advance on patreon like last year (sorry!)... though i can only hope that doesnt happen again. 

still, i hope that people continue to enjoy the translations i put out because i do find it difficult to post stuff on a regular basis at times  (also im probably more than a tad crazy because i’ve actually managed to do that for 2 years now).  

yaisa!

removed new live drama links. found it on a non premium site.

also, i finally got around to cleaning up my master list... though im still not done with my video backlog...

#KumoriYami update post

As the Villainess, I Reject These Happy-Bad Endings!

By Iota AIUE and Kuroyuki. Released in Japan as “Watashi, Tensei Akuyaku Reijōnanode, Meribaendo wa Soshi sa Sete Itadakimasu! !” by Berry’s Bunko. Released in North America by Cross Infinite World. Translated by Molly Lee.

By now we are so familiar with the Reincarnated As a Villainess genre that we start to look for differences or alternate takes that make this stand out from the pack. On that score, Happy-Bad Endings (as I’m going to call it) doesn’t hold up so well. This is almost textbook reincarnated villainess, down to the letter. Actually, it’s a good sign that, as I was reading along, I found myself thinking “I want to read the original VN the heroine was playing, it sounds ludicrously over the top. Iris as a heroine is not cheerful yet dim like Katarina, but she does possess a bit of the same “I cannot see this person as anything other than their character from the game”, which certainly frustrates her love interest, the prince. That said, I found this a very good book to read, mostly as it does the genre very well, and it has some individual scenes that are stellar set-pieces.

One morning, Iris du Chevalier wakes up from a horrible nightmare of the world burning to discover… she’s not in Japan playing her favorite otome, game, she’s in the game. And Iris is the villainess. And the game is notorious for even its happy endings being dark and twisted. Her twin brother chains up the love interest and brands her, the prince imprisons her in a tower forever, and the mage discovers that they’re really half-siblings and destroys the world. And, in ALL the endings, good or bad, Iris suffers. Death is not actually the worst thing. Now she has to a) make the three love interests less twisted, b) deal with the soilpox scars on her arm that cause her to be shunned, c) deal with going to the academy despite having literally zero magic, and d) avoid horrible fates. It’s harder than you think!

As I said, the plot itself is pretty much otome villainess 101, but it’s handled well. Iris searching for a way to beat soilpox (this world’s smallpox) is a compelling plot that has nothing to do with the game’s events. The world itself has several elements that weren’t present in the game at all, and finding out about them both gives Iris a huge leg up and also confuses the hell out of her. The heroine, Camille, is sweet as pie but also invites trouble – as you’d expect of an otome heroine. My favorite scene is near the end, where the cast approaches what, to Iris, is the final fate of the most dreaded of her bad ends. She’s long since made sure that this end is not going to happen, but it doesn’t matter – the fact that she is Iris, in the game world, and at THIS place causes her to have a tremendous stress reaction. It’s fantastically written.

So yes, once again, cliches can be defeated when the writing is good enough, which this certainly is. It’s also done-in-one, so you don’t need to worry about a cost sink. A must for Villainess fans, and a good read for shoujo light novel fans.

Also, please don’t name your otome game love interest de Sade. I beg of you.

#nightshade otome

[theangry-ace]

it’s only the first day in of my four days weekends and I’ve actually finished not one, but TWO route of Hakuouki. it was Harada’s and Saito’s btw bc aside from them, none of the rest of them dudes interests me. well maybe I’m intrigued for Sannan bc I wanna know his story but he gives me the heebies jeebies so prolly not.

verdict from just two routes finished: I don’t think this was a game for me. everything was too ‘dark’ and serious. plus the story is much too historical(?) for me to understand and I have zero knowledge of the real history of Shinsengumi. all I know of them are from the Ikedaya incident and that’s because I read it up long time ago. this game is a bit hanging unfinished a bit. the final chapter was not satisfying.

next, finish up the last route, Kuroyuki’s, from Nightshade and I’m done with Steam games.

A nail clipper cuz you never know when they come in handy

Medicine for stomach cramps because I get them really often

My retainer case

5 things i’m currently into:

NIGHTSHADE. This game absolutely phenomenal and everyone should do themselves a favor and play it //shot. I temporarily dropped both Amnesia and Ace Attorney Investigations II to finish this game asap because it’s that good.

Honestly otome games/visual novels in general? I used to be really secretive about liking them because I didn’t want people judging me but now I’m literally gonna get a vita so I can play Collar X Malice and danganronpa v3

Fire Emblem Heroes though I’ve currently been really disheartened because I have less than 20 stones and it’s been months since I rolled a 5 star *huffs*

MADs. Recently I’ve found a lot of good music through these videos.

Persona 5. Despite not playing it because I don’t own a PS3 or PS4 I see it on my dash the most so I reblog it most often LOL

5 things on my to-do list:

Get my driver’s license that I slacked off on for two years my parents won’t let me slack off anymore *weeps*

Finish all or almost all the games and visual novels on my to-play list (Amnesia, AAI2, Nightshade, Dandelion, Zero Time Dilemma, SMT IV that I bought on sale in March but haven’t touched since oops, and more)

Get a PS Vita.

Watch Goblin. And maybe some other kdramas but I doubt I’ll get to that because summer vacation is short.

Deal with all my University admissions shit aka the biggest chore ever
