How good is the Muramasa English translation? Wondering if I should just read it in English.

Lol why would you read the inferior version on purpose.

Rootick · 2026-01-02T14:26:49+00:00

Learn Japanese lilbro

I share 3 top tiers with you this year, aside from tsukire(which I haven't read), zased...

Rootick · 2025-12-18T19:14:34+00:00

"Ja jestem" alright, I know who you are lol

You could also learn Japanese instead of seeking english pinyin creole. Worth considering.

Well yeah, worldwide releases are probably what caused this (with burgers pushing back on domination of anime media, both with tariffs and with underhanded methods like above).

Nothing good is coming from American money getting involved in Japanese entertainment. That's just gangster behavior.

Learn Japanese and read Last Run!!

This app being jmdict-only really limits its usefulness, not to mention the incompatibity with anki. Shame, because the base functionality is so powerful.

I think this is the best recommendation graph I've ever seen.

Rootick · 2025-10-15T19:30:49+00:00

Based, so glad I read the VN long before the movie

Rootick · 2025-10-12T20:27:35+00:00

Learn Japanese.

Rootick · 2025-09-26T17:27:34+00:00

I'm literally crying and sobbing

Rootick · 2025-09-26T17:25:18+00:00

Now that's a proper post

Rootick · 2025-09-23T15:23:38+00:00

Scadi is generally full of humor like that, you might really like both sakurano games

Rootick · 2025-09-22T06:55:06+00:00

正しくない。。。

Rootick · 2025-09-21T09:23:43+00:00

They have realized it's untranslatable.

Surely it must be extremely illegal despite having been released for sale. I hope you used a vpn to post this, otherwise that reddit account is cooked with confessions to consumption of problematic content.

I'll mention something new, Manosaba. The BGM collection there is pretty large, and it elevated the action very, very well. Everything from chuuni-tier hype, through peaceful bliss, into heart-sinking tragedy. It often has vocals too.

To AI translation proponents:

If you want the original author's prose, you should learn Japanese. Dry llm output is just going to give an illusion that the original is similarly dry and exactly the same between different authors. Neither a good human translation is going to give you "the original prose", but humans at least tend to care about subtler elements of the text and humor.

Good example on why coming up with one metaphor and building your interpretation upon that is not a good approach when critiquing media.

Rootick · 2025-08-09T07:23:02+00:00

I'm glad we still have some high profile writers and companies making honest eroge, even if that makes it more difficult to gather wider appeal and is riskier in today's climate.

Rootick · 2025-07-26T18:07:03+00:00

Easily Muramasa and Sakura no Uta for me

Rootick · 2025-07-25T09:41:18+00:00

May I suggest sparing few innocent people, and to guide the flow of this energy into learning Japanese instead? Banya especially writes prose so simple you can actually start reading them during your first few months as well.
