So I started Tokyo Babel. It's pretty good. It feels strikingly similar to the Megami Tensei series. Not just that they draw from the same source. But the Tokyo Babel structure is very similar to a plot point in Shin Megami Tensei Ii. Not to mention MegaTen is set in Tokyo.

Finally finished my replay of Flowers Spring. I really hope JAST gives this the localisation it deserves. It's a beautifully written VN, with a lot of lines that I really like. It would be a shame for it to be butchered by a subpar translation. I enjoyed this second pkaythrough a lot, but I shall refrain from speaking too much about it lest I spoil someone. I do hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did through the English localisation.
Onward to Summer! And then the highly anticipated Autumn. I really do need to rush to make it for Autumn's release, but Granblue Fantasy is taking up a lot of my time...
In the meantime, I'll be looping "forget-me-not". Damn I love this soundtrack.

Presumably a 41 day countdown to the PV? Finally hope for a 2016 release afterall?
I'm sure the anime had a lot to do with finally getting Steins;Gate localized, so fingers crossed this adaptation ends up more like that, less like Chaos;Head.

Only a few hours remain until MG's Anime Central Panel. Six announcements, including one new partner. I'm excited, but trying to keep my hopes to a reasonable level. I'm not expecting Albatross Sky Butlers or anything like that tho. 
Anyone know if SP has anything planned? I hope not because they have way too many unreleased projects.

Sekai Project has two announcements from two new partners. Visual Arts also has a thing, but I don't know if they are announcing anything.
I'm not going to get too hyped up because I still expect big news to be saved for AX/Otakon.

- Higurashi Steam version dropped due to bad sales.
- Umineko Steam version to launch soon, sell even worse, peter out after 2 episodes
- Further What a beautiful world titles that were planned for release scrapped due to bad sales
- Kindred Spirits full voice edition, available separately for $45 or as a DLC upgrade from Steam version for $35
- Mangagamer to solely focus on nukige from now on
- New partner? Winged Cloud back from Sekai back from Mangagamer back from Sekai
VisualArts panel: re: Angel Beats VN in English: "it's planned."
That's pretty cool.
Is there a liveblog or something?
Just someone tweeting about it. That person I linked to is also at SP's panel, which unsurprisingly is starting really late.
I meant more is there anywhere that I can keep up on announcements. There's no streams right?
Nope.
Is this real?
- Higurashi Steam version dropped due to bad sales.
No.
Darn, it seemed really plausible too seeing as Ch2 sold 1/10th as much as Ch1. Aren't there like 8 episodes?
One isn't new and another isn't a VN.
MangaGamer's Announcements:
Beat Blades Haruka, Kara no Shojo 2, and Kindred Spirits are all getting physical LEs.
Edit: Euphoria too.
Fata Morgana fandisc officially announced, though it was already revealed in the main game.

Two announcements have been made so far. One is a limited edition of Beat Blades Haruka, and the other is a limited eidtion of Kara no Shoujo 2.
Edit: Beaten.
Final announcement is that Waffle is their new partner, with their first game being Kyonyuu Fantasy (under the cringeworthy translation of Funbag Fantasy).
Edit 2:
Anime Expo special guests are Shigeo Hamashima who is the artist for Eroge!, euphoria, and No, Thank You!!!, and nbkz, a founding member of minori, and the president and art director, and who directed ef, eden*, and SPPL.
These guests make me think at AX they will announce a new Clockup and minori title for localization.

And the real news:
Kindred Spirits Drama CD 2 out 5/27
Higurashi ch 3 out 6/24
Umineko ch1-4 out 7/8
Kindred Spirits Drama CD 2 out 5/27
Higurashi ch 3 out 6/24
Umineko ch1-4 out 7/8
They already have Supipara for minori.
I don't see why Kyonyuu Fantasy isn't real news. I mean it's a pretty highly rated VN, with apparently very good writing.
Now that is some welcome news. Glad that Chapter 3 will be out soon.
While I'm waiting with Higu purchasing till they have the whole game available, preferably with voice patch, this one I'll be getting day one.
I just hope it will be compatible with PS3 patches. I can't imagine reading Umineko without voice acting.
While the MG announcements are kind of "lame," if I'm remembering correctly, games needed to meet a certain sales threshold (including being profitable) to be considered for hard copies, and to see all of these games (in all thier variety) do that well for them is very good.
Some they do because they know certain titles will sell at their con booths and they are getting these out before AX for that reason. But yeah, Kindred Spirits and Euphoria have done especially well and I suppose KNS2 has done well enough to get this treatment (which is good when there was a lot of hand wringing about the title's performance last year).

FUCK YES, FUCKING FINALLY. FUCKING. FINALLY.
Wait... the FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS OF UMINEKO?!
oh shit
ooohhhh shiiitttt
OOOOOOHHHHHHHSHHHHHIIIIEEEETTTTTT
edit: That Jessica face is deeply disturbing lol
4 chapters of Umineko meanwhile Higurashi only just reaches chapter 3
Its strange. It seems Umineko will be finished before Higurashi at that pace then.
4 chapters of Umineko meanwhile Higurashi only just reaches chapter 3
Higurashi is getting completely retranslated, Umineko is getting re-edited. Umineko's release plan is a response to the issues Higurashi has had.
Though I do think it weird that they are releasing these only two weeks apart.
I like that she looks older as she should but wtf is up with those breasts.
i guess i'm guetting Kindred spirit and euphoria in physical , ASAP
Supposedly it's well written with a well thought out setting. And also about boobs. Moege fans should be happy, I guess.
Nukige fans, not moege. The audiences are pretty seperate in my experience.
Expected since there's already an English TL for most of it to work off of and the anime's coming up. Plus Ixrec's had Harvest Festa almost entirely done for a while now according to people who helped test it, but hasn't updated his site in a while. So it was pretty obvious that was incoming. I wasn't sure if they'd wait until AX to announce it.
Hopefully it gets a good edit pass.
I wonder how far out it is given how many localization projects Visual Arts has now.
It's apparently using the Amaterasu TL as a base so probably not too long. I wouldn't be surprised if it was out this year.
