Let’s get a couple of things clear.

First of all, for anyone who hasn’t noticed, Bandai Entertainment and Bandai Visual are not two different companies. They belong to the same parent company, Namco Bandai Holdings, Limited. That means if someone inside Bandai Visual fucks up, someone in Namco Bandai Holdings, Limited, fucked up as well. So don’t pretend that Bandai Visual and Bandai Entertainment are two different companies when both companies belong to the same PARENT COMPANY. If Bandai Visual gets bad press, Namco Bandai Holdings, Limited, should also get some of the bad press. (Which also posits a suggestion: A total boycott on all things with the Bandai logo (and ideally, the Namco label as well.) on it. Model Kits, anything Gundam, Devil May Cry, you get the picture.)

Secondly, about Japan finally cracking down on doujin games, well, who didn’t see it coming? Patrick Macias (O HAY MR. MACIAS AGAIN) sure friggen did, albeit in a much different way. And for Pete’s sake, Shingo reported on the crackdowns as early as June (I think).  It’s only a matter of time before they turn Otakon, Animé Expo, or Comiket into bloodbaths. For Prohibition eventually leads into total murder. Since people are the root cause to his sticky wicket, why not listen to Nicollo Macheveli and put some fear into your customers, aka, killing all those who oppose your pricing schemes and decrees. Once they realize that copyright infringement leads to death, they’ll never use the Internet again. :V (Yes I know he only mentioned the elimination of all opposition, but when your opposition spans the globe, killing only the bare minimum gets tricky, and you either get creative or up the body count.)

Thirdly, I finished Utawarerumono, and it was awesome. A shame Leaf loev scifi too much to drop it from the game, tho :V. Also in no particular order:

• Yay linear narrative
• Touka is love :3
• Some minor BAWWWWage at the end
• TOUKA ENTERS HAKUORO’S ROOM WITH RAPE IN HER EYES
• Oboro is gay and a joke device. No rly. His archer trap twin servants don’t help his “I’m not homosexual” cause much either.
• Touka Touka Touka :3
• Mutsumi is sexy armpits and BAWWWWWWWWWWW :V

That’s the last time I fall asleep.

Holy shit.

That ‘fag‘ Message is done with teh supah ausum installer.

UNDERWATER RAY ROMANO IS NOW PLAYABLE IN ENGLISH.

Someone lost 20 bucks today. GEWD JORB, MESSAGE.

Utawarerumono is done translating, Ryuusoul kicks the Ainu dialect in the nutbladder

Yes, everyone’s favorite Ainu eroge has reached the over 9000 mark for translation and is in proofing.

(Translation for everyone else: Translation is done, proofing has started, get ready to crush Leaf with  bankruptcy.)

And yes, Ryuusoul did kick some Ainu dialect butt.

Son of a gun.

a) There is a Utawaerumono translation project.

b) Revolve and Mirror Moon are on the case.

c) Yes I know the dudes at Revolve and Mirror Moon.

d) Yes I demand at least one mention of Underwater Ray Romano.

e) UBW patch will be delayed for another 6-11 months, depending on how bad the translation is :V

f) And yes, it’ll be done when it’s done, so clam up on the frickin’ requests.

From the folk who brought you Marisa Stole the Precious Thing and OVERDRIVE(not the biking animu of the same name)… … …

Comes something… … … … I don’t even know about.

Well, okay, here’s a few tidbits I could garner. The game is ‘harder than your average RPG’ and the name is, errr… … … Etrian Oddessy? And it comes out today? That’s all I know.

And now, random Utawarerumono stuff.

OBORO BARRIER *Oboro leaks poop

FUCKYOUOBOROPUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH *Oboro is ded

(Drm Note: It’s kinda funny to see Oboro getting the shaft in the Utawarerumono DVD specials. Oh, and random fanservice shot of Dorii and Gura makes it even better. :3)

FUCK YOU LEAF, FUCK YOU JAPAN, FUCK YOU SMELLY OTAKU

Dorii and Gura are females. And will be females in the PS2 remake.

FUCK YOU LEAF, FUCK YOU JAPAN, AND FUCK YOU SMELLY OTAKU

I WNAT MY TRAPS GODDAMNIT

MOE MOE TOUKA MODE

Yes, I skipped 16 for this. Screw you. There’s more awesome elements in this show.

• Bishiewi doing paperwork
• Oboro bin Laden is HAADO GEI HOO~
• the aforementioned MOE MOE TOUKA MODE
• a rather drunk Karura
• Oboro bin Laden needing “hangover medicine”. You sure it’s not for forgetting lastnight’s events, boy?
• Hakuoro doing something to Oboro bin Laden (Oboro bin Laden deserved the medicine)
• MOAR KAMYU

And yes, people, Kuuya is cute. And yes, Dorii and Gura are gay and male. Don’t be so shocked. I wonder if there are yaoi doujins of the trap twins… … … … sans Oboro.

Also, if Yuzuha can move around (debatable), have rollicking fun wih Aruru, Kamyu and Mukuru, and still is able to eat, does that look like a sick little girl to you?

Dorii~ Gura~
