Instead of this, JAST should license Garden and make CUFFS finish it! Seriously, it came out at the start of 2008 and still hasn’t been patched entirely.
You can only really learn to speak the language through practice and immersion. Learn to read it first- reading is harder, more important and will make speaking it easier.
It was a good series … but considering it was aired in a very VN style, branching to each relationship the way it did (even with the “secret love” thing going on after the credits) I’m not sure if it would be worth holding my breath for. (since I’ve more or less had the experience of playing it now) Mind you, if it did come out I’d almost certainly buy it, but I’d be much happier if Air or Clannad, or one of those other famously popular VNs I keep hearing about but never get to play, were released in the US.
Not being able to read Japanese and having some weird inability to figure out how to use fan translation material properly. (it’s like some weird mental block)
Presumably those are the incest episodes, in which case … obviously those are the only ones which really happened! All that other stuff was just filler, getting us to the proper incest content and padding out the series until they could get us there.
It got cancled because Cuffs sent a CandD notice. I think Manga Gamer would be more likeley to get it then Jast, they got Ef and that got a C and D notice too, thanks to the CandD notices, I started to learn Japanese, so I can play them
The c&d has nothing to do with official releases ;_; Minori’s main problem was the fact that it didn’t require a actual copy of the game

Actually, the C&D led almost directly to the official release. Minori staff contacted No Name Losers and were rather upset at the translation project (and at the piratical nature of the patch), then the two groups started talking, and then MangaGamer got involved. If No Name Losers did not exist, or if they hadn’t decided to translate Ef, Minori would probably not be working with MangaGamer.
It seems to me that Minori was surprised that there was enough interest in their products for people to go to all the trouble of an unofficial patch. They didn’t seem terribly interested in the foreign market before that.
