Rincchi's Lair

So, there are some news on the Kud Wafter anime. Suzuyu will be singing the opening song, apparently, which is a new song called Light a Way. Well, I guess people will be spared the horrors of One's Future. They showed some more concept sketches...



RIN-CHAAAAAAAAN. <3 And she's even in her summer uniform!

Now I just need to see Kyousuke and I'll explode with happiness.

They are working on a PV which I guess we'll see soon.

Hnnng... so excited... the thought of seeing everyone again... I don't care that it's lolicon pandering trash if I can just see all the Little Busters in motion and hear their voices once more... that's all I care about.

So much negativity over this. Yeah, Kud Wafter is shitty lolicon fanservice, but it's a new story and the other Busters are appearing, so it might not be outright garbage... meh, as long as Kyousuke is in it, I don't care.

Well, it's about darn time we got some news on the Little Busters EX/ME fan translation.

I had a feeling when it finally got released, it wasn't going to be for free.

As I suspected, Fluffy was collaborating with Visual Art's and they are going to be releasing Little Busters (Perfect Edition) on Steam. Hell yes~! This is wonderful news.

\O/

It definitely sounds like we aren't getting a kickstarter after all... hmm, that is a bit of a shame, I wouldn't have minded the opportunity for some new Little Busters goodies. But I guess it's kind of a good thing for my wallet...

A world where Key works get localized... it's such a wonderful world to live in~

Clannad's coming out next month.

Oh yeah, Tomoyo After's also being released on Steam.

Maybe Kud Wafter will one day be on Steam too... though the fan translation is progressing slowly. As much as I dislike its very existence, an official release is an official release and I should support all official releases by Key.

So, I've been wondering, out of the VN backgrounds for the girls' bedrooms at the dorm, whose room is each background for? There are so many of them. So I've started doing some research.




These are both for Kud's room. First one is before getting her a roommate, second one is afterwards... and it is the same, no matter who you have as her roommate.

Now let's see Mio's room.



Mio's room. Now considering Kud didn't have any changes in her room even with different roommates, you'd probably think Mio wouldn't either.



Except she totally does. Okay then. It's a bit difficult to see with Kud in the way, but you can see the stuff from Kud's room on the shelf to the left.

Why they didn't use that background for Kud's room with Mio as a roommate, I really don't know.

Now I just have the mystery of these unaccounted for bedroom backgrounds. ... Oh, come to think of it, there's only one. I guess I overestimated how many there were.



Whose room is this? Some of the items there make me think Rin, though Riki never does go to her room. The only girls whose rooms he visits are Kurugaya, (she lives in the old dorm, so she doesn't have a room like this. Her room looks like the boys' rooms.) Mio, and Kud.

Come to think of it, I think Kanata's bedroom might be seen in her route. I'll check that.



Well, it seems Kanata's room is basically just Kud's. Even after I went to the trouble of making Haruka Kud's roommate instead.

I was actually wondering if Rin's H-scenes take place in her room, but, uuuuh... I'm not THAT desperate to find out, okay. Anyway I'd have to go to the trouble of reinstalling EX because it's patched and I really don't want to go to all that trouble. Besides, Rin having sex is just, ew. I don't want to be exposed to that, thank you very much.

Looks like BG304 (the unaccounted for room) is present in the original VN's files anyway. Let's just assume it's Rin's room (Seriously, it has cat things in there. Who else's would it be?) and the VN was going to have scenes in there, but then didn't and the background went unused.

EDIT: Okay, so I did end up looking at the Little Busters EX H-scenes >_> What can I say, I get bored sometimes... that unaccounted for background is Rin's. I guess they had that just in case Riki visited Rin's room, but he ended up not doing so, until EX at any rate...

Merry Christmas!

I installed Little Busters EX today. Had a bit of a snafu when I tried installing this wordwrap patch I know TLWiki has one for original version only but this one said it was for EX? ... It ended up taking the save files from my original Little Busters savefolder, making the game think it was complete (as well as being the original Little Busters) and I deleted the save files, not realising they had been taken from Little Busters original. Good thing I had a backup of the save files. I also restored the original files for EX using TLWiki's patch so all was good in the end. Gosh, even if it was just a few saves, losing saves for Little Busters would be a bummer...

TLWiki was calling it something like EXperimental EXtra in the first place, which is stupidly confusing so I can understand the mixup. It's been changed on the wiki itself now anyway.

So~! I guess I might get a move on with cheating Rin's stats. Already cleared Komari's route, so the second playthrough is good and ready to go. Might as well play some baseball too because why not (that and raising her stats makes using CheatEngine easier). Let's get Rin's stats to insane, unbelievable levels, yay~

A lot of Key news today.

The first volume of the Angel Beats VN is being released next year, in May (hopefully). Maeda's writing the whole thing so I estimate we should have the entire VN completed in 50 years' time. I kid, I kid, but seriously it sounds like a massive task considering how burned our he got after finishing Little Busters EX. Ganbatte, Maeda. O7

EDIT: Oh, it was just a mistranslation, apparently. Maeda's supervising the whole thing, not writing it all. He's got co-writers.

Also, we're getting a new anime written by Maeda and produced by PA Works next year (season is unknown) The anime is called Charlotte and apparently it's going to be another story that makes us laugh, then cry. Good, good. This formula never gets old for me. Make me cry bitter tears again, Maeda.

We're also getting a new Angel Beats OVA. Nice.

So nice to be getting new stuff from Maeda.

There's that Holy Breaker VN by Itaru Hinoue and Kashida Leo being released at Comiket too. I'm sure it will end up on the Internet sooner or later so it's probably going to get fan translated at some point. Hopefully.

... Though Air took years and years to finally get a fan translation, didn't it. I'll play that sometime once I get off my lazy butt and finish Kanon.

Someone on Tumblr was asking about "tego" which Mio brings up during the trial of courage. Kud finds out and is horrified. So much that she says Mio shouldn't be telling it to ladies. Indeed, Mio shouldn't, especially not Kud. Poor Kud.

I looked 'tego' up once and immediately regretted doing so. D: If only I could forget and go on being blissfully unaware. Yeah, not gonna tell them. Nobody needs to know the horror of 'tego'. I'm writing about it anyway because. I dunno.

For anyone who stumbled upon this journal: Run. Run away now and do not look. Only horrors await beyond the cut. Trust me, you *don't* want to know what Mio meant.

If you do look, don't say I didn't warn you.
