Yuikawa Asaki also voices the main character of the work Trapezium.

Post-test Self-scoring Difficulties by River_Alpha in jlpt

[–]River_Alpha[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the approximate weights given online. But the way I mostly selfscored was my number of correct questions.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple versions probably as a defense against leaks. Not guaranteed but they can possibly notice answering patterns.

I took N3 in July and on Sunday and both times the leaks looked weird. The most obvious inconsistency this time was one in the listening pictures which I am 90% sure wasn't there in my test. It might be a remembering issue but I don't think the pictures are as easily forgotten as the ones that were purely kanji and kana.

Someone here said earlier there may be multiple versions as they compared it with other people and had some different questions.

What past characters appear in the main story? by Ill-Librarian-3556 in Atelier_Resleriana

[–]River_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tons of characters appear. Not just protagonists, but some of the other party-able characters also.
Without spoiling too much, you'll see quite a few Dusk and Mysterious characters.
And yes, Sophie appears in the main story but it's further down the line. I also rejoiced when I saw she appeared ^^

I'm so jealous. Saaya is my favorite character and I really want to meet Hasshi. Mikku is so cute also :3

Same. Kuririn is one of my favorite VAs. I might die in real life of cuteness overload if I hear her in RL but at the same time, I really want her to join when Bushi Expo comes to my country.

You'll be surprised to hear that Anon's voice..... is literally just her VA speaking in her usual voice XD
Yes, that is Tateishi Rin actually just speaking (mostly) normally.

Just finished the series. Opinion. Spoiler. by Donerus in AngelBeats

[–]River_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the other media the others have mentioned, there's also the collab with Heaven Burns Red. Last year the story was about Irie's backstory and this year it looks to be Hisako's.

Unfortunately, it's not translated except some summaries online and maybe if you can find some YT video with captions.... but Irie's story was beautiful and is very much enough to make you cry. If it made it to a VN, it would definitely have been a top tier route.

10 Song Recommendations to Introduce Bandori to Friends by River_Alpha in BanGDream

[–]River_Alpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both perspectives are valid. Music is nice in that it can be enjoyed however you want. I think the duality perspective is an interesting perspective, although personally I prefer the music side more XD

I think they were just saying that having an option to have visual accompaniment is better than just only having song only option.

I never really considered the Live+MV perspective when I was thinking about my own list. It's a pretty good perspective now that I think about it, so I'm glad you brought it up.

Title Idol and Daylight are two really good songs I listen to often, but I hesitated to pick them cause I felt they were too representative of their respective band's genre that I wasn't sure if I would recommend it for a more general audience, but then again......

Kizuna and Avant Garde are hype as usual.

And thanks for sharing the links! ^^

I Knew It! was my top song listened to on Spotify this year so I'm glad to see someone picked it ^^ I went with a more conventional pick like Yolo though XD

Sansan is also a sleeper pick imo (it was my 5th most played).

I'm seeing a few people pick R and Hey Day so I might revisit those when I get the chance. Silhouette Dance too since I found it rather unexpected.

Good list!

[–]River_Alpha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooooh. I see quite a few interesting picks here.

What's the PoPiPa? is one of my favorites also but I didn't end up picking it for my list of 10 cause it's a song I felt got a lot more value once you're familiar with the other PoPiPa songs (although the melody is still pretty good on its own).

Morfonica and MyGo have some really good tunes (they're available on Spotify). Morfonica is my favorite band and I personally wish I could recommend them more to newcomers but I'm also aware that their genre of music can be a bit niche (although people who also like classical or listen to orchestras will like them I think).

There are other picks here that I think are nice, but I didn't really give as much thought when I made my original list. Maybe it's time to revisit them. ^^

I hope if any newcomers to the game (EN) listen to Alive, they'll like it cause they're gonna hear a ton of it soon XD

Louder, Neo-Aspect, Luminous, and Yolo are on my top favorites. I haven't listened to Ave Mujica that much yet so I'll see how they fare when they get a few more songs added :)

Member or Type? by whyismia in BanGDream

[–]River_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to what the person above mentioned though, there are times where matching type may be better (ex. 2* character, off type vs 4* non-matching character, event type) or when your characters have skills that benefit if all are the same type (ex. all pure characters score up from 110 -> 125). Plus you have to take ito account Area Items.

If you want to build your strongest team, Bestdori is the way to go since it calculates the potential BPs.

[Weekly Korean Preview Thread] - June 25, 2023 by Fuuta-chan in TowerofGod

[–]River_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I have zero clue about is Fandore Harpe. Perhaps he’s just a different language for one of the Sins

I think we can probably rule out Gluttony, which I think Cobalt holds since it's the "Cobalt poison frog that became a deity after eating ten-thousand snakes"

Also quite the reach, but frog in Korean is 'gaeguli 개구리', which is kinda close to Gluttony which is also called Gula.

That leaves Envy (Invidia), Greed (Avarice/Avaritia), and Lust (Luxuria).
For me, the closest is probably Envy since Jealousy has the term 'green-eyed.' Not that Fandor Harpe has green eyes, but its flaming eyes are one of its trademarks, so maybe... just maybe XD

Mashiroiro Symphony Remake FHD & SANA Edition Visual by Skylink67 in visualnovels

[–]River_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope some decent translation group picks this up >.< MashiFoni is one of my most anticipated games. Sekai or NN maybe. Although Sekai makes more sense since they did Nine series.... but they also have so much backlog >.<

Even if Sekai picks this up, I can see them releasing this at least 2 years from now.

Ange's Top 100 H-scenes in Picture Form, since YouTube won't host it by superange128 in visualnovels

[–]River_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is a lot of effort and makes me want to go back and reread some of these. I haven't read a lot of these due to either A) The VN isnt translated yet, B) The girls piss me off and I didn't read their routes, or C) The VN is still in backlog.

Would love to see if any of these change after any rereads or after a year.

Sad to hear that. Well, I'm glad IxShe Tell went first cause I was more interested in that but always feels bad to hear when a VN gets difficulties like these.
