Happy birthday second best girl.

Just learn nip
The VN is pretty easy to read

A patch for CC was released last year. Dunno about Coda's progress though.

Only what's been translated. Pretty good.

I don't remember the VN using scenes from the anime.

Yes, I finished CC last night, Koharu's route last. And all I can say is Setsuna is such a fucking incredible character. Throughout all routes you just get so fucked up it's unreal, even having to experience the Hotel incident again is traumatic.

This part had me screaming at the screen desu,

Ah right, my bad. It is from the anime.

IC (as a route, why not) is best, then it's Setsuna > Chiaki > Mari > Koharu. Chiaki's was some real shit as I'm sure people who've read it can agree, not too sure on Koharu's at first but the latter half when they stopped fucking like rabbits was actually pretty good.

Hot Take: The anime is superior to the IC port of the VN. The way they use th OST is amazing, we miss some juicy lines, bigest loss is Haruki's inner thoughts but still.

Sucks there's no proper translation of the VN. Why doesn't this get picked up officially?

Aside from no Coda, what's wrong with the translation we have?

Attached: Kazusa8.png (1366x768, 1.57M)

I was told the translation was horrendous

Noice

I heard it got a total rework that fixed things. Trying to find the thread where someone looked at it a few months ago.

Dumb backstabber for betraying her friend.
Poor Setsuna.

Found this: 184774418
>Last year, when Setsuna route was the only one translated, the final 1/3 was an extremely EXTREMELY bad translation. They might've fixed it by now though; I've been reading the newly translated Mari route and nothing bad yet.

SHE was trying to hold back, it was Haruki who couldn't stop chasing her.

Attached: 53349540_p0.jpg (1044x1228, 291K)

I know. Setsuna may be one of the better characters I've seen. She is so manipulative and controlling to MC, but appears so sweet and kind to others, but has a poor perception of herself. It's a level of depth that you rarely see.

Yeah, while I played the normal ending with Chiaki before her whole route and that one hurt.

All good routes. Never had a complaint with anything other than occasionally there were too many sex scenes that it was getting ridiculous as I just wanted to continue the story.

The scene where she sees through Chiaki's facade (because she herself is good at acting differently to how she feels) and then tells Chiaki to care for Haruki in her place is what sold her as an incredible character for me. That route is such a rollercoaster.

Translation is fine now, it's just Coda we're waiting on. If Coda was classed as a game the translation would be hands down my most wanted game for 2019 honestly.

Attached: Kasusa9.png (1366x768, 1.52M)

I'll get to it then right after complete grisaia

I died when I read this line. It had no place in the (excellent) way they adapted the sex scene as it was, but it's shame it didn't make it in.

Attached: WA2VN8.png (1236x186, 109K)

I just assumed it was decent but plan to read it again after I get a but better at Japanese. Sadly, I didn't think my text hooker worked when I tried it which will make it more challenging.

That is a pretty great scene. One of her best I agree.

user, what the fuck happened to the Chiaki pregnancy thing? Was this badly written/translated or what?

Attached: WA2CC40.png (1920x1080, 2.62M)

I'm not too certain. I think it could be a poor translation, or a lie for attention, or her conditions could have been due to stress. I think it would have been a great ending to her route if she got pregnant and kept it.

It did feel like they never finished that subplot though.

I'l scoured the internet for answers to this and came up with nothing, just have to move on I guess.

Attached: WA2CC48.png (1920x1080, 2.22M)

Fuck Takeya and Io in CC. By far the most annoying characters.

How is the translation? I heard that it was partially machine translated, is that true?

S2 when? Also Setsuna a shit.

Their entire purpose is to show how Setsuna is perceived by others and some minor tension relief. I never found them that annoying, but certainly uninteresting.

Yeah, nobody seems to discuss it anywhere.

It's fine up to Coda. Actually I tested Coda out (don't tell me I'm the only who tried that after that fucking hype ass Coda trailer at the end of CC?) and at the very least the first 10 minutes of Coda that I tried were translated as well.

Attached: WA2CC52.png (1920x1080, 2.31M)

I tried for a bit, but my ITH wasn't working with it so I gave up pretty fast based on where I am with my language level.

What the fuck is wrong with your eyes

Bro, if you hate Setsuna you're going to hate S2 if it gets made, lol.

>I never found them that annoying

They are overly intrusive, meddling and pushy. Haruki isn't even going out with Setsuna in CC and worse still, after the Hotel incident he had every right to move on. Yet they treat him like scum of the earth for doing nothing wrong, Io even slaps him in his own house.

Attached: FuckOffIo.png (1920x1080, 2.74M)

I'm a little confused. So Introductory, Closing, and Coda are 3 separate parts of the same game?

Anyone else think they executed the bombshell ending of Setsuna's CC route fucking perfectly. Whichever order you did the routes in, you're conditioned to accept that Kazusa is gone, written out of the story. The Setsuna route is well written enough that the reconciliation with Setsuna is believable and eventually it gets to the point where it's all settled and then boom, after credits.

The VN is a masterpiece.

Indeed, exactly that.

Attached: WA2CC33.png (1920x1080, 2.97M)

They aren't on good terms, but from everyone else's perspective they're still "dating". That's all a result of how manipulative Setsuna is. They think Haruki is the one making this sweet/kind/ideal girl miserable. Haruki also never defends himself so they think he's just basically assuming all fault. They are overly intrusive and pushy, but I don't find it annoying knowing they are mostly ignorant of the whole truth.

Remember when Haruki rubbed his dick on Mari's ss and came on her tights then ran out the house screaming that he's a rapist? Fucking hilarious.

I had been spoiled to CC and Coda so I knew it would happen, but you're correct I was convinced it wouldn't happen in CC

Worse than Mihoko Yada? Who guilt tripped her best friend into having to go to a different University and lose all her friends because she 'stole' her crush.

Did anyone else feel really bad for Setsuna? She didn't do anything wrong. She was a good gf and a good friend who deserved better.

Coincidentally, Damekoi (also written by Maruto) was released in English recently.
what part are you at right now?
Are they still working on Coda?

In IC? Even she admitted she was on borrowed time, she knew they were in love. Regardless of whether you think she was right to act on Kazusa's reluctance to do so, she knew already that Kazusa stole Haruki's heart long before she made a move. This is why for my part at least, I don't hate her, she chose to move knowin the potential consequences nd WA2 being what it was, we got that amazing ending where nothing was magically handwaved and happy, but instead everyone's shit choices come to a head and everyone loses.

>Are they still working on Coda?

No idea, CC took ages to be made, apparently Coda's routes combined is longer than even all CC routes combined? If so, it makes sense.

Attached: WA2CC46.png (1920x1080, 2.83M)

Imagine being Haruki in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Touma, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous baritone. I would totally have sex with you, both my role as an upstanding class representative and the real me." when all he really wants to do is make out with Setsuna in the back seat. Like seriously imagine having to be Haruki and not only lie in that bed while Kazusa bares her disgusting body beneath you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her eyebags and rotting teeth, and just pounding her, hour after hour, while she worked herself to climax. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone at school whispers how she's this COOL BEAUTY and DAMN, TOUMA KAZUSA LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to lie there inches away and watch her mannish fucking horse face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of Takeya groupies and school idols and later alleged underclassmen for your ENTIRE ADOLESCENCE coming straight out of middle school. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe suggestively under you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to lie there and embrace her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard to mismanage in recent years. And then she grunts at you to fuck her harder, and you know you could strangle that fucking cello player before he could lunge for the doorway, but you grip the sheets and endure, because you're Kitahara fucking Haruki. You're not going to lose your future trophy-husband career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

Happy Birthday, Touma!

Best romance anime of all time

Our girl got fucked hard before leaving at least.

Attached: WalkofShame.webm (852x480, 1017K)

Did they even use protection?

No, I don't have the screencap but he busted a fat ass nut inside her, I think she asked him to even. That reminds me of the scene in Koharu's route where he DOES buy condoms and then never uses them in any sex scene with her.

In CC he has sex for like a week straight with Setsuna in her route, without protection.

I saw a screencap in which she told him to "leave a scar that never heals" inside her, which sound both cringy and hot as fuck.

I had to turn the sound off for the sex scenes, not because I didn't want anyone to hear, but because I didn't want to hear. Apparently Japanese women don't moan in pleasure.

She does say that yeah. What I liked was that even in the anime, you see her dig her nails deep into his shoulder during the sex scene and the morning after he's clutching at that area afterwards because he still feels it. Which is from the VN. As far as cringy goes, the sex scenes aren't Fte/Stay Night bad, but they get kinda' awkward after a while, but I suppose they need to show how Haruki fucks to escape his misery

Attached: MariRoute4.png (1920x1080, 2.55M)

For melodrama you can't beat the painful, teary, yet somehow beautiful 'last day on earth together' sex scene in IC.

Happy birthday Kazusa. Best girl and canon wife.

Man, Setsuna really stole the show in closing chapter. It's rare to see a female character with such depth in a romance eroge. Easily the best written from WA2. I don't hate Touma but she feels far more close to the anime female archetypes.

The translation is watered down English compared to how it's actually worded in Japanese.
If you just want to know the story, then it's good enough.

> That's all a result of how manipulative Setsuna is.
Yeah Setsuna is a manipulative girl, but just read "The Idol Who Forgot How To Sing" for fucks sake. Your perception of Setsuna, Haruki and their situation at the beginning of CC is utterly wrong.

Ah, and Happy Birthday to Kazusa.

Happy Birthday, Kazusa.

I knew about this scene beforehand, but when it actually happened, I was all shivering. At that point, I could easily understand what exactly Haruki was feeling.

No. CC is by far the longest part of WA2.

It's kind of unrelated, but did anyone read Damekoi now that it is English? It's what Maruto wrote right before WA2 and you can kind of tell that since WA2 seems to take certain ideas from Damekoi and refine or expand on them.

So is Kazusa true ending the Canon ending? I just want Coda to be translated so I can get more Kazusa

All endings are canon.

Attached: Kazusa_Touma.jpg (2000x1116, 118K)

It's certainly what adheres to the 'Other Side of Happiness' theme.
Setsuna True doesn't show what's on the other side and Kazusa Normal is just suffering.

I’m waiting until Coda’s done so I can read it all in one go.

All endings are canon. Maruto doesn't have a preference. Heard haruki's VA prefered Setsuna.

Too long. Don't hope that you'll be able to start playing Japanese games from VNs.

Is it commie tier TL? Did these retards cut off honorifics?

>Did these retards cut off honorifics?
No, they didn't. It's always "Mari-san…"

In later "chapters" too, or only in introductory arc?

Of course I'm talking about CC.

WA2 is the last place I expected to see a JoJo reference

Post that walking scene

...

Has anyone heard the collection of WA2 songs sang by the VA of Kazusa? They're pretty good, especially Todokanai Koi since it was written for her, Setsuna still owns Powder Snow though.

We had a thread when it came out. Well, Nabatame isn't a vocalist, but it still sounded great. I liked her Closing and Answer.

Based Chisato hater

Didn't Setsuna's VA actually cry because she thought people liked Kazusa more?

Don't remember about her crying, but she was shocked when she learnt about it.

Yes

Just want to say Mari route is underrated

>Some WA2 staff trivia
>1) Haruki's VA, Mizushima Takahiro favors Setsuna over Kazusa albeit according to him the ratio is 51:49 in Setsuna's favor.
>2) Nabatabe Hitomi never got the full script for Closing chapter and only got lines for THAT concert scene hence for the longest time she had no idea what happened in CC.
>3) Yonezawa Madoka, Setsuna's VA seems to be genuinely depressed that so many of the players seem to favor Kazusa over Setsuna (from fan mail, a large majority of the players seem to be Kazusafags)
>4) According to the VAs during one of the radio shows, the majority of the staff who work on the anime favor Setsuna.
>5) For the longest time the 3 VAs thought Maruto was biased towards Setsuna until the very last few episodes of the radio show where Maruto clarified that he doesn't favor either and never intended for either to be seen as the "correct choice". It was always meant to be 50/50.
>6) During the recordings for the Coda's cheating route, Maruto noted that Haruki's VA was so completely into his role that he genuinely looked like crap at the end of the recordings. Maruto stated that he wrote the extra episode in the PS3 and Vita versions as a way to lighten up the ending of the cheating route and as an apology to Haruki's VA for putting him through that.
>7) The game director actually gave Haruki's VA a choice on the order of recording Coda's routes. Initially he wanted to go Setsuna > Cheating > Kazusa but the director shot it down since he didn't want to end the recordings on the most depressing ending so in the end they went Cheating > Kazusa > Setsuna.

There was a DL link for the radio shows, but it no longer works.

Good

Who cares? Setsuna is pretty much the best written character from WA2. I can see otakus liking kazusa more as she close to the usual female anime archetype but Setsuna is the MVP of closing chapter.

Setsuna is the best character, but Kazusa is best girl. And there is absolutely no contradiction.

I respectfully disagree.

Playing through IC right now. Planning on going through CC slowly and hopefully by the time I'm done Coda will be done. Luckily the devs have a guide on how to run the translation through wine.

It's alright. I like Setsuna too (in fact, you can't help liking her after CC even if you used to dislike her before), just not as much as Kazusa.

>otakus
Nah, Kazusa is just way more normalfag friendly character. Look at all characters like this. Utaha from Saekano and other ones, Yukino from oregairu or Suzune from youkoso jitsuryoku. They are always way more popular.

They are nothing alike besides having long dark hair.

That distinction is the most I've ever agreed upon anything

They are giving the same edgy vibe.

Mari was a nice person, imagine having a boss who cared for your mental health.

A western VA would never give themselves into a role like that.

Mari's route is genuinely bad. Maybe except for the final part.

That why people with properly functioning brains would never even put in consideration watching literally any dub.

Monkey's Paw: Closing Chapter is animated, but dubbed. DESU that's not a bad thing at all imo, if it means WA2 afresh in everyone's minds.

Haruki really is absolutely fucked up in Closing Chapter. It's interesting whenever you talk about or go back to IC/the anime and know he's about to head into a 3 year long clinical depression.

>Kazusa is just way more normalfag friendly character.
Which is what said by calling her being close to the female anime archetypes namely kuudere. Normal Audience get drawn to such characters. Setsuna leans a lot on the realistic side of a female and how girls actually are in real life. That's what makes her stand out against Kazusa.

Setsuna is practically an Angel compared to other people, let alone other girls.

Attached: WA2CC38.png (1920x1080, 2.28M)

user she is a flawed and selfish individual close to how women really are, that's what makes her journey as a character so much more relatable compared to Touma. I have seen dozens of rich talented kuudere archetypes who have been pampered to death in the genre. That's why Setsuna stood out to me, she felt real.

urgh this scene was amazing

I-Is that so? Now that I think about it, I guess she only got the one sex scene in IC before leaving.

>I-Is that so?

Yes, even Koharu deepthroats him at work after everyone else has left their shift.Then she tells everyone there as gossip when they both resign, which was actually really funny.

I can't speak for Coda but out of IC and CC the IC sex scene is the best by far.

Speaking of the sex scenes, the way the way the screen starts flashing white when Haruki busts a nut (complete with the CG showing it going everywhere) makes it feel so powerful, man.

Probably won't see this thread next time I wake up, but it's been fun. this and the Setsuna ones actually, I'm always surprised at how much people appreciate WA2.

Indeed, WA2 at least has the romance genre on lockdown. Funnily enough its also the psychology of the characters that sets it apart for me amongst other things, so in a way it shares that with NGE

Yeah they both play around with the theme of needing to have a little selfishness. "all you gotta do is say yes"

I think the anime did leave me legit depressed for a while though; the sort where you start reflecting on your own life and everything looks bleak. And part of you feels like you SHOULD stay sad, because it's the proof of a beautiful story. I bet that's an inkling of how it feels when a family member dies; like it'd be wrong to stop grieving them.

I know you're not sick. Twas a joke ha

The "fuck my life" part wore off first, but I still thought back on the story a lot in the first year or so, esp. when winter rolled around, then Valentine's Day. Gradually this became less frequent/sad, and I considered myself fully recovered after 2 years. Can't believe it's been another year already.

Oh, good.

I remember back when I read the game, the cheating route left me seriously depressed, Kazusa's true route wasn't much better, such an amazing game, hope it gets a good translation sometime.

>Utaha
Megumi is more popular
>Yukino
Iroha and Yui is more popular than Yukino (due to the anime). even though she is not a romance heroine.
>Suzune from youkoso jitsuryoku
Is she? Fans boycotted the anime with having more Suzune scenes.

Introverted Yamato Nadeshiko types aren't normalfag friendly, and genki/tsundere types are more towards that. So that's false.

Maybe Utaha and Suzune, but Yukino? That's false.

I hear the later game sprites looked increasingly derpy due to a deadline crunch or something. I wish they had gone back and fixed them for the BDs, so to speak. There've been a number of rerelease editions, after all.

Got a link top that radio drama of Haruki and Kazusa. I didn't understand a word of it but holy shit did Kazusa sound happier than she has at any point in this series. It makes you realize all their pain worth it.

It's amazing how anything with Kazusa and Haruki post-Kazusa true is absolutely heart warming.

It feels like we've been with them through so much pain.

The culmination of this for me is the image of Kazusa in her wedding dress, about to Marry Haruki in the room where they first kissed. I don't have the pic but she looks good, the lonely prodigy finally marrying her soulmate

How can people say Setsuna is canon after all that

Setsuna got a fan-disk after story too which ends Haruki and Setsuna having a child
Kazusa does have more post ending stuff, but I think part of it is due to people thinking that Haruki and Kazusa were just depressed after Kazusa true so Maruto needed to prove them wrong.

Yep, that's fanart alright.

Could it be another guitar?

White Album with just Setsuna and piano? Not officially (dammit), although people have overlaid tracks from the game:

I think the piano still has a different sound from the anime's, though.

There's also versions that overlay a Haruki guitar track, but they tend to use a louder, twangier track instead of the one meant to match the voice and piano. A while back I extracted the relevant game tracks if you want to play around with 'em:
p.fuwafuwa.moe/siskuj.zip

Includes the three 1:46 tracks for voice/piano/guitar, the longer/louder guitar track, and longer piano track. Also some versions of Todokanai Koi. (Guitar, slower guitar, guitar+vocal, and piano.)

Legit the one story I'm worried about reading, hate reading about people with cancer in any form.

Shit sucks

It's funny because like Touma, I used to hate Youko. But for me it was because she took Touma to Paris with her and away from Haruki, but I know now that it was Touma's choice to feel like she had to, not Youko. Regardless, no one deserves to be given an ongoing death sentence like that.

Maybe, although it's not like they're not both referencing The Beatles anyway.

Takeya is quoting Dio in that picture though.

I know he is. What I meant that maybe WA2 just references jojo because jojo, not because of any specific connection to the title.

Oh my bad, fair enough then. I lost my shit at that bit though.

Unironically a great "localization" choice for the translator to go with the meme translation of that line, since it's what western readers would find easiest to recognize and the line itself basically demands that it be recognized as a reference.

Takeya is literally the MC from WA1. Fuck him.

It's just occured to me that I have no screencaps of Mari friend who only shows up in her route. I dunno' if anyone will back me up on this or not but she's one of the best characters in CC for me. I loved her jealousy at Mari bagging a toyboy boyfriend, but I also really loved that she tried to help Haruki get back to Mari after they split up because she knows it was killing Mari to be alone.

Fuck it maybe I'll make some screencaps, she was a great character.

Kazusa is canon. She even gets an extra drama CD that none of the other girls got, not even Setsuna.

>I think part of it is due to people thinking that Haruki and Kazusa were just depressed after Kazusa true so Maruto needed to prove them wrong.
They also got an additional New Years drama CD in 2016 that is just so wholesome and heartwarming; something Setsuna never got.

Because one fell in love with you naturally, the other manipulated and schemed her way into being with you. For a board that is all about putting Thots in their places, you faggots sure would get strung around by them pretty fucking easily

Well both girls fell in love with Haruki naturally though.

Attached: rxn_notamused_Yotsuba.jpg (336x150, 11K)

Yea, but Kazusa's only crime was that she wasn't able to confess first. If left to their own devices, it was a fact that Kazusa and Haruki would have been together. Setsuna intentionally butted into that, manipulated the people around her by playing into her nice girl shtick, and all but forced Haruki to date her because she knew he was too nice to reject her. In any real world equivalent, a relationship made under those pretenses would end and never be rekindled because people who act like Setsuna typically never learn the errors of their ways. I seriously feel like anyone that likes her is falling for her manipulations too, because on the surface she seems nice, but underneath she is a rotten person.

At this point I've accepted that we'll never get a Season 2, but does anyone know if there's still a chance for an official VN translation? With all the other big names getting one I was hoping this might get one too.

Nah. IC was most likely done as a marketing move for the PS3/Vita ports of WA2. Koharu's VA has also completely disappeared and who knows if Maruto would be okay with recasting her.

Happy Birthday, Touma.

i want to CUM INSIDE setsuna!

I want to be by Setsuna's side when she is feeling lonely, and tell her that everything will be ok, that I'll be always near, so she can fall in love with me. And when she has opened her heart enough for me I'll kiss her gently and start making love to her, slowly and with care, hold her hands and see her face full of joy and satisfaction, and right when she is about to climax, when she's showing her most vulnerable and human side, tell her "I love you Touma" as I cum inside her.
Seeing how her face changes from extreme happiness to despair with just those words, would be glorious.

>Kazusa is canon
I mean you can decide your canon but as far as Maruto is concerned, every ending is canon. This is just like the fate VN scenario. Everyone prefer an ending over the other.

Am I the only one who was a toumafag after finishing the anime but became a die-hard setsunafag after reading CC? It's really hard to not appreciate her character writing. It's rare to see such quality writing when it comes to females especially by a male writer. Usually they either make them unattainable prizes or completly despicable sluts.

Can I directly read CC after watching the anime?

Wow the thread is still alive. God bless you lads

Yes

Yes, but you'd better read IC too. You will understand much more about Setsuna at the very least.

You aren't alone bro. Setsuna is pretty much the MVP of Closing chapter, even has great moments in other routes.

>even has great moments in other routes
She is the most important part of EVERY route in CC. I mean, Mari's route was quite average until that scene at the ski resort, not to mention THAT scene at the end of Koharu route.

Attached: mpgEMPR.jpg (1280x720, 278K)

>Mari's route was quite average until that scene at the ski resort

I think thescene where Mari goes berserk and trashes her own apartment is sick. Also, any scene with her friend, who is extremely underrated.

I think the anime is superior to IC, even if just because of the way music is used. It's the best adaptation I've probably ever seen.

Would slam

>I think thescene where Mari goes berserk and trashes her own apartment is sick
I didn't really like it. It just showed how shallow Mari was.

Night, sleepyhead.

How so? Haruki was definitely taking the piss there. She had every right to be angry. Idon't she's shallow, but she's obviously incredibly insecure. And cute because of it.

Attached: KazusaVN3.png (1920x1080, 3.07M)

Agreed. Mari is an insecure mess that needs lots of reassurance and love.

She's actually a good person too. Who cares for Haruki's wellbeing and mental health. Fuck Japan for thinking 25+ years old is too old though, wtf.

>How so?
I got the impression that the whole thing with Haruki was more like an affair rather than serious feelings for her.
>She had every right to be angry.
It's not about having the right, it's about her consideration towards Haruki.
One more thing is that she never met Setsuna. Maruto probably couldn't create an impactful scene for their meeting - because Mari wasn't actually as involved with Haruki as Koharu or even Chiaki were.

>I got the impression that the whole thing with Haruki was more like an affair rather than serious feelings for her.

That's why she was fucking pissed though, she was led to believe he actually cared about her. Unlike the way everyone gave Haruki shit for 'cheating' on Setsuna, here he really was just taking the piss with Mari.

>It's not about having the right, it's about her consideration towards Haruki.

Like he did to her? Come on man.

People can have their opinions but Setsuna certainly loves Haruki the most. It was so hard to go through all the routes and watching her suffer.

Let's not forget, Haruki probably suffered more than Setsuna and Kazusa did, for three years straight he tried to work himself into unconsciousness every night because of how much the guilt was killing him.

I also heard that the firet IC translations back then were pretty good
But as a filthy ESL, beggars cant be choosers

All endings are canon
But theme-wise it has to be kazusa true end

Just watched the anime back then but planning to read the vn
Is the IC anime better than the vn or the other way around?

The hell happened to the translation? Havent had an update for years

She's not a bad choice for Haruki at all in my opinion, I think that's a credit to the writing that I can totally see that if Haruki can't have Touma ever again, the wedge between Setsuna and Haruki was too wide to close.

And it's really fucking cute that after Setsuna blew Haruki the fuck out of that Hotel and he felt like absolute shit, this dependable, cute woman who cares about him was there to comfort him, I think it's beautiful.

Attached: WA2CC25.png (1920x1080, 3.15M)

They're both really good, but I'd say the IC anime is just slightly better than the VN, but the VN gives you more in-sight into Haruki's thoughts. The IC anime is probably one of the best visual novel to anime adaptation, but it was also a passion project for some of the staff.
IC and CC are completely done and edited. They're slowly working on Coda and have a daily tracking log on their site.

>fucking a girl so hard she has troubles walking afterwards

>They're both really good, but I'd say the IC anime is just slightly better than the VN,

Agreed, I said it before but it's the music that edges it for me. The way Sayonara no Koto just comes in beforet he actual credits at the end, leaving you to just take everything in, in some cases a lot.

Literally best sex scene in anime imo. (excluding hentai)

I still find it hilarious how many people ended up watching WA2 because of that scene and had no damn idea what they were getting into.

probably. I really like the way that scene inverts the usual use of sex in anime. Rather than being a cumulative moment in their relationship, it ends up ripping them apart. Also the music is wonderful.

Well I guess he did

I know it's kinda redundant since she took his blazer buttons, but I like to think whatever lingering pain she was feeling as she walked out like that, she somewhat took with pride in a 'this is the proof that me and Haruki loved ech other' sort of way.

Yeah I agree. I think the physical pain is a bit more thematically relevant (all about love that hurts you) than just taking the buttons.

I suppose. The buttons were just a different kind of symbolic since I think they were like a physical representation of claiming someone. All I know is that IIRC Setsuna saw them missing when she came into Haruki's room, and probably almost instantly processed what happened, so they at least had that.

True, I forgot about that part. There's a lot going on in CC with physical vs emotional intimacy, maybe the buttons vs the scar is another example of that.

I liked that Kazusa had the presence of mind to undo the buttons from the blazer, even though she was feeling like shit emotionally and trying to not wake up Haruki.

Well in Kazusa's case, it was all she had and wanted to do. A bit like me playing vidya. I think it's a reverse case, her mother abandoning her already fucked her up and Kazusa replaced it with practice.

Might as well how to read Japanese. anyone know if it's accurate to say that It seems intimidating only because people conflate that with learning to speak and understand spoken Japanese when it's a bit easier?

I'm surprised people still see Baldness as a genetic defect.

well it was years ago, so not really surprising that he would think that

Well, 9.58% in 8 months is worrisome, but they did deliver IC/CC, so I wouldn't count them out just yet.

I would bet learning to speak/understand is easier than the written form, if anything. Everyone learns to speak as a child, not everyone learns to write.

I just meant in general really, I mean it is a defect I guess. But it's so normal now you can forget.

People don't want to lose a sizable part of their looks. It is normal, but generally attractive people don't have it.

From what I remember being in their discord, at first they had their hands full repairing the damaged reputation the initial machine translation left int its wake, and when CC was done some notorious autist came in and started nitpicking and shitting on translation quality.
There were some reddit threads as well and CC's release went very quiet for something as anticipated as WA2 translation.

Tfw got burnt out while waiting for CC so I got into another VN trilogy that left me more scarred than WA2 could ever do. Gotta revisit what's translated and finish it all up again some time though.

CC had gone through numerous passes and could've been released much earlier, albeit in significantly worse quality.

Thank you, I'm very much into VN these days. I've also been told Fruits of Grisasia or whatever it's called is very good, but that sounds cool too. nd I probably will pop by to say I appreciate their work on CC, I guess it sounds sad but WA2 is somen ext level series for me.

Dunno' why people would doubt their dedication to accuracy after hearing stuff like that. Does sound like they could use a hand or two though.

You have no idea how Maruto goes out of the way to keep using idioms to better the prose.
As mentioned in the thread earlier, if you only wanted to know what's happening then it's good enough but it still wouldn't be accurate.
And some translators can churn out volumes of LN every month at a decent quality. Considering this is a staff larger than that, this is very slow.
But I digress, if you can, WA2 is a good read in its original form as well.

I say again, if WA2 or just VNs in general could be classed as games, Coda translated would be my most anticipated 'game' release of the year hands down. One way or another, I'll be reading it.

So the radio revival was nothing more than an ad for the live event?

So basically never

Barely any fucking merch of this series.

Wait, you saying Touma never ever sucks Haruki's dick?

Let the thread die already Jesus.

It's strange how they gave Setsuna a smaller chest in the anime.

Okay, that makes more sense. Can only imagine how hard it was for her to walk when Haruki presumably let loose the 5 years of pent up frustration and emotion on her.

iirc it's only in CC they get that big though. I think they look kinda' ridiculous but I guess that's just me.

I mean we'll NEVER EVER see it happen because coda will NEVER be released

To be fair, she's older in that screenshot.

God dammit.

Chiaki has probably the biggest gut punch in the entirety of CC that is unrelated to the main trio love triangle. It completely fucking changes your impression of her, and that's pretty cool imo.

How much trouble did Haruki cause here? A lot.

The only problem about cartagra is that i thought that the MC is the one who will solve mysteries but at the end the one who got it all right was his imouto unlike in kns you're THE detective of the story
Its a decent mystery though but my expectation killed it for me

WA2 threads usually are rare these days but they do last long

>grisaia

this any good?

Also Yea Forums is an imageboard and I'll post images on the board if I want to.

Any straight guy would be a monster seeing this

the sounds all the girls make when being shagged made me mute the voices, let alone killed my boner. Dunno' how Haruki did it

>going from WA2 to KnS2
You must really hate yourself. The games themselves are soul crushing enough, but the wait for the next installments to come out is excruciating. KnS3 is being recorded right now, but it will take years before we have an English translation, if any.
That true end of the Second Episode, and the Obsession End are downright depressing.

Cartagra is Innocent Grey's first ever game, so they went with conventional eroge tropes more than KnS. Hence the MC of Cartagra being less capable and literally faceless.
The first game is very good, but in very different way from WA2.

Money truly doesn't make you happy. You always want more. In fact, often if you make a lot you've sacrificed a lot of your personal life to get there.

Think a study showed that anything after 75k is just a plateau in terms of overall happiness

To be fair, it was the mum leaving that made Kazusa so fucked up socially.

I can see that. I'm no happier now than 11k ago.

Exactly. Nothing to do with money. Personal life was a wreck.

>haruki became the househusband after marrying kazusa
He's living the dream

It's kinda disingenuous to say money can't buy you happiness, poverty sure as hell can't either. I think most people forget that Haruki and Setsuna are also richk ids, just not AS rich as Kazusa.

That's why they basically say after a certain point you're not happy anymore. Just look at KLK. Everyone was much happier in slums (peak happiness was middle class though) than compared to when they were rich.

I don't think setsuna is rich. Just middle class. Haruki is though. You're correct.

Maybe Haruki fondled them in spare time.

>I don't think setsuna is rich. Just middle class. Haruki is though. You're correct.

That's fair, I think I just assumed she was rich because they all go to a private school iirc.

Not really calling you out. It's a reasonable assumption.

Don't worry about it.

Dude you have no idea how content that motherfucker is. I dunno' if it's been posted but here's the radio drama of him living with Kazusa subbed.

This is absolute proof that are soulmates, they make each other so happy.

+400 post hype.

Listened to that a few times now, heartwarming every time. The VAs have great chemistry too.

Does seem WA2 was blessed to have a whole ass crew that put their entire soul into the project.

Yeah, so many VN adaptations are absolute trash. Love the anime version of twinkle snow especially.

Good shit. Thanks for sharing.

Reminder that if Rina Ogata from White Album 1 had not recorded the titular 'White Album', the three leads in White Album 2 may never have got together, as it was that song that started everything off.

And before anyone asks, White Album 1 fucking sucks.

Always wondered why it sucks if it's made by the same game studio. Or was it a fairly different staff?

From what I recall, unlike WA2 they tried to shove all routes into one series? I know IC didn't have that dilemma to start with, but still, while I'm here I want to say I'd rather the 3 new heroines in CC get little screentime than try to fit their routes into a CC adaptation. Save that shit for OVAs.

Attached: 750776.png (1920x1536, 1.76M)

Isn't Sayonara no Koto anime original too? Or is it in Coda?

I don't want to see a CC anime unless they do a blend of all the routes until Christmas followed by OVA/ONA sequels for each heroine.

Did they ever do a duet of Powder Snow with Kazusa/Setsuna, the way Rina and Yuki did?

Same here. I really love this lyric video (which Youtube took down, bastards):

nice, thank you for sharing

Different writer. A few Anons do swear by it though.

That's what happened to the anime, so it kind of wanders before all the plot threads come together, and the MC comes off as a huge man-slut. Watching it wasn't an emotional experience for me like WA2, but I think it's OK to check out if you're curious. It had its moments. Just be ready to settle in for a long ride.

Bumping this one last time before I go to bed. Thank you Yea Forumsnons for the comfy thread, I'm glad we can have these once in awhile.

Good night! I'm installing the game right now, though I might not start it right away.

I will suck your dick if you can find full lyrics to the full version of 'After All'. Despite that it's subbed in the portion it plays in the episode, I can't find the full version subbed. By the by, god DAMN those songs I posted have nice lyrics.

Or is it because I completed the game install as a non-admin, whereas the patch installer asks to run as admin right off the bat? Maybe the install location was recorded in the non-admin account's registry section, and the patch installer only checks the admin's section. Well, anyway.

Guess I'll figure out the rest tomorrow. Good night!

Maybe if I end up liking her route, or finish CC and want an excuse to talk, haha. (I think I'll actually be busy right around that time though, so no promises)

And tell me again why would you pick official translation over fan translation? Especially if it comes to video games? Official translations are almost always nothing but hot garbage with washed out culture, various quirks arlnd tons of rewrites.

>sudden idea in bed
>temporarily change regular account to an admin account
>it works
Bingo~. Maybe I'll file a bug report in the morning.

You still have to pick the game folder as the target, since it defaults to one folder higher.

File downloads went smoothly until the last subbed video (mv010.pak, 15MB), which took like a hundred retries to work. Ugh.

And now I'm tired for real. Goodnight again!
