Novel pick-up requests
-
@Omoikane The anime's great, but I gather that the TV series differs from the novels considerably. I think they're more in line with the OVA episodes that came out later.
Still, I know I'd be interested in seeing them, as well as the author's other series, Denpa-teki na Kanojo. (Or rather, I already own both in Japanese, I just haven't gotten to reading them yet.) -
@Sean-McCann I had always thought the ova eps were stories from later novels after the novels that laid out the story in the anime.
-
@Omoikane They are, but there's a huge difference in tone and characterization between the TV series and the OVAs. Like, Lin is barely recognizable as the same character between the two.
-
@Sean-McCann I see. Then, now, all the more need to read them.
Thanks for the info. -
I am hoping we get at least one shoujo/josei romance LN by this time next year. Doesn't have to be shoujo/josei actually as long as it is a non-harem romance LN.
-
@Hakomari Are triangles ok? Still hoping for those White Album 2 novels since someone brought them up. =P
-
@Terrence Harem! Harem! Harem! Shinmai Maou no Testament, Highschool DxD, Masou Gakuen and Date a Live! :D
-
@sparhawk6 Noooo! (I just don't like that these stories end with either the obvious winner or no winners, and they string you along so much; I'll take a dramatic triangle over them). xD

@Hakomari How about a shoujo/josei reverse-harem LN?
How about a Yuri or Yaoi LN? Fair and balanced representation. =D
-
Triangles are often drama-heavy like in the case of "White Album 2". So preferably no love triangles.
-
@Student-no.0
I am tired of reading harems honestly. Reverse or otherwise. Can't we have a decent monogamous relationship for once? You know the kind church approves(although yaoi would be okay as well. As long as Pope Francis approves of it) xD
-
@Hakomari That's why I like them. I need more drama in my life please. =P
-
@Hakomari Would a love triangle be okay? Still want those White Album 2 novels…

Aren't you the second guy asking that :confused: ?
-
@Hakomari Nah, that's my alt account and I double posted (I'm joking, I think the conversation moved too fast and he posted that before your response).
-
@Hakomari Sorry, that happens when you don't reload before posting, the forum unfortunately doesn't seem to notify when a new post has been inserted before posting.
Edit: And it happened right now again :-/.

Woah and both of you wanted the same novel. Have you read Oregairu yet? I am sure you two will like it.
-
@Hakomari Thanks for the recommendation, I haven't read it so far. Unfortunately, it is only available as a paper back so far and I'm rather averse to buying physical books in English. Hopefully, it will soon join their digital line-up, just like Spice&Wolf and now even SAO did.

I have read both the fan and official translations. I would say the fan-translation is definitely above average. You could read those if you don't want to wait for YP releases. They have been delaying shit anyway so they won't catch up to the fan translations before 2020.
-
@Hakomari Personally, I'd prefer the visual novel, but I'll take the story in whatever form I can get it. Though, I'll be disappointed to be locked on to one route.
The anime only covered the more linear first half of White Album 2 concerning their high school lives. Latter is about adulthood, and I hear it's one of the most harrowing visual novels.
There's an English playthrough online, though I'm worried about that being the uncensored PC version (personally could do without any controversial CGs). Getting the PS3 version somehow would be ideal. =(

My Romantic Comedy SNAFU? I watched the show. Bit worried about it going the "character who appears on cover one / first woman he meets / obvious character is the romantic love interest". Yuigahama fan here from what I saw in the show. =P
I have volume 1 of the book, but haven't read yet. I figure the MC's monologues that he likes to spew might make more sense there.
