Technically, C;H is finished. Fully TLed, you just have to manually add the edited menus/cgs and put up with a few bugs. It's a pain, but you probably won't be seeing any new fixes for it.

I wasn't enthusiastic about YU-NO's art at first, but now it seems quite charming, it's simply held back by outdated specs. The large, ugly border around the screen is what bothers me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6187270
If you plan to read Alternative, it's suggested that you read Muv-Luv first. You'll have to go through the generic school romantic-comedy first half before the genre shift into sci-fi though.

Ixrec even thinks ML is nowhere near the excellence that is Alt, but it really shows you something that he went through all the work of translating it first.

[Anonymous No.]

I can not express how bad it is to skip Muv-Luv and just play Alternative. You're ruining the experience for yourself, seriously.

Doing that is like playing Coco's route in Ever17 without playing through Takeshi's routes. You won't understand a lot of the references and plot points.

Of course, unless they package in the fandisc is something or some other bonus over nnl's already released stand alone, I doubt they'll get more than 10 sales.

It's even worse because NNL's original ef release is already all over the Internet, unlike Demonbane.

Still, given that this actually had a (relatively popular) anime adaptation and, unlike Higurashi, has full voices, a decent translation, and actual artistic talent... it might actually do quite well.

Dynamic equivalence is about the text not sounding awkward in English, i.e. the translation being rewritten to conform to English language norms, dumping the Japanese sentence structure and syntax. It's the exact opposite of a completely literal translation, in which you will end up with characters speaking in idioms because Japanese is a horrible horrible language.

This is how most professional works, and dubs especially, are translated. When they aren't (see, oh, Tales of Legendia), the end result is ear-rapingly horrible.

That said, NNL doesn't actually translate using 'dynamic equivalence'. They're just trolls.

However, I do believe that 'baka', for example. should be translated as something other than 'idiot' depending on context. Again, Japanese is a stupidly redundant language.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6196114
Wat. Cross†Channel was handled pretty literally, and it was far from "idiom" structure.

[Anonymous No.]

That's because Cross+Channel is weird.

>>6196055
So it's worse than the Recettear translation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6196153
>That's because Cross+Channel is weird.
There were also a few mistranslations. Like Miki saying "Sir" translated as "Dunno", subjects dropped from sentences like when Kiri says "it was mysterious" when she actually meant -she- thought it mysterious, etc.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6196153
I don't see how that affects literal translations... That's just the case of eccentric characters with weird style/manner of speech.

TakaJun's is mostly in the literal camp, too, and his translations are great.

[Anonymous No.]

>>6196180

No, 'karada' is a really, really overused word. It sounds even worse when it's translated literally, because then you get characters ranting about how their body feels, which is just... awkward.

And I don't like TakaJun's translations. Sure, they're -accurate-, but they sometimes feel overly formal and soulless.

Seconding this. I'm currently playing through it (one and a quarter routes done out of four), and it's fucking marvelous. From the premise it looks like a souped up Enzai, but it's very stylish, and you only spend about an hour in the prison. It basically revolves around the mafia (this group in particular called the CR-5) and the hijinks they get up to in the 1930s. One of the guys, Giulio, is a rather shy guy who actually gets over killing people and is into necro and shit like that.

It's pretty popular over in moonland too, with drama cds, plushies, a fucking ton of art on Pixiv, and a sequel on the way.

The setting is definitely one of the high points. The music is wonderful too, all having titles befitting of the setting, like Nashville Twilight, Broadway Tramp, and Chicago Typewriter. And the whole of the main cast are awesome. The only other experience I've had with BL games is the sickeningly sweet, cringe inducing stuff, and the more hardcore titles, but Luckydog1 knocks them all out of the park. It's actually fun to read, and definitely worth even an hour of your time.
