#I have CDs that I could just upload to YT with my translations (in fact I’ve received commission requests to do so - which I rejected) | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

I think you should read my ask one more time. Not once did I say you have a vendetta against youtubers. I don't think that at all. I also never said you were defending companies, I actually brought that point up. I just think your animosity is directed at the wrong group. A repost can't happen if someone didn't wrongfully upload in the first place. Not to mention, many uploaders didn't purchase the cd either, they downloaded it for free from somewhere online and they want clout like anyone else.

To be clear, I didn’t say you said I am defending companies, I said that to swat off replies saying “oh but capitalism” before they come (which is another can of worms, but since we’re talking about piracy, it’s often that people link it to the thing where people be like yay I’m fighting capitalism by pirating TV shows/anime! - which I have mixed opinions about).

I used the ask to elaborate a longer coverage bc tumblr and twitter users tend to read one thing and act like we’re all black and white as if I didn’t consider other factors when I refuse to support certain groups/actions.

Now that that is sorted, I think it’s clear from my previous reply as well that my animosity is not directed to only translators isn’t it? It’s directed to whoever is reposting the content - regardless whether they’re translating it or not.

Reposts don’t only happen when they manage to get free shit somewhere else — someone could buy a CD and post the entire thing online and add a translation, and that’s still considered a repost.

Statistically I don’t think all YT translators repost CDs they downloaded off the net. Although it’s prob a minority, there are also people who repost translations of CD which they DO own/buy. (That does not make it right, though)

What I’m saying is any of reposting actions don’t vibe with me. They are still posting a CD that the companies explicitly asked not to repost, even if they slap a translation or not at all.

In that sense, I think you’re actually on the same side and think they’re wrong too, no? Unless you’re trying to make another point.

Actually, I’m quite curious which was the original post where you started thinking that I dislike YT translators ONLY which prompted you to send the first ask. I thought I made it quite clear that any unauthorised reposts are just yikes, regardless of the form and media.

To summarize this interaction:

1. If you think my animosity is directed to one group (the YT translators) only, it’s not.

2. If you’re trying to defend YT translators by the point of “they couldn’t have started if they didn’t download it somewhere to begin with, so they’re not wrong here”, then it’s not really the case because they could have actually bought it (although we all know that’s rare). And again, I still think reposts are uncalled for.

3. If you’re trying to make any other points, I’m not catching it atm.

Edit: also @ others, if you are here only to read translations or CD recs, please feel free to block the tag #chitchat which I usually use for my opinions or non-CD stuff!

So many asks

15 asks under the cut.

As mentioned before, for quicker responses, please send signed asks... otherwise anonymous asks get stored up to prevent spamming people’s dashboards. :)

Spoilers under the cut, but I’ve put the non-spoilery asks at the top and will warn before veering into spoiler territory.

Not sure what you mean! The side story ones?

I wouldn’t say one specific person created Sukisho, though I’m guessing you mean Yuzu Tsutae (the artist/character designer)?

She’s been involved in a couple of other games (info here), and she has a blog here. I couldn’t find any social media for her (at least not under this name).

Thank you for your kind words, and you’re very welcome! ^^ Best of luck with your studies!

You can either buy it second hand (e.g surugaya via a proxxy), or try and see if a download site like aarinfantasy has it.

Uh, actually I just checked, and I have it. So if you still want it and can’t find it elsewhere anon drop me a line. :)

ETA: Uploaded here. :)

Hahaha I feel like I’m not allowed to answer this, almost. xD The anime is one of my all-time favourites with an amazing cast list (that is not in the regular versions of the games).... plus it doesn’t have some of the less pleasant elements from the games.

So those are my thoughts without directly answering. ;) At the end of the day, they’re totally different media so it’s hard to compare them!

Thank you! :) You could check out the audio dramas (some of which are translated on my YT); the anime of course; there is a fan-translation of a short manga Yuzu Tsutae wrote (but didn’t draw). And of course all the fanworks out there. :)

Thanks for your support! I haven’t gone anywhere, just got overwhelmed with all the anon asks and busy with other things (including some stuff related to the games, watch this space ;) ).

If you have any suggestions for things you’d like to see posted on here between games, feel free to send them over! I have a lot of official art/novel scans/sketches/guidebooks and that sort of thing, if that’s the kind of content you mean!

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Sounds about right! There are some post-game sidestories and audio dramas I believe, so the answers are there. The last bit (about Sunao and Aizawa) just sounds like the regular games though!

a) Probably for sexy reasons

b) To protect the chibis :’)

There’s no indication that he did; Aizawa probably has enough pull to make it happen, esp as him and Nagase both work there.

The parents (Sunao’s, anyway), are definitely shown (both as discussed), and it’s actually a really big plot point (the anime went a different route so it’s a divergence from that).

Also Sora’s parents are clearly Nanami and Shinichirou anyway.

Could be any number of reasons! You’d have to be more specific, which drama cd?

Because he basically thought he was a lost cause, so murder/suicide was the kinder approach. :’) Super grim.

Oh BOY. xD

Yes- although I will say that, back in the day, there was a lot of fighting about what the correct interpretation was, so without pulling out some source material and checking it myself, I can’t say with absolute certainty who was right on the minor details, so here’s my best attempt to stick to the facts:

-Nanami/Aizawa went to school together (one year apart) and were besties (oop)

-After school, Nanami starts working with Aizawa because he thinks it will help Shinichirou (and his MPD)

-Aizawa does some gross shit to Nanami (what a delight of a person)

-Because of this, Nanami leaves with Shinichirou

Those are the key Aizawa/Nanami specific backstory bits! Ftr, Nanami was around for a lot of the shady stuff Aizawa did, which is why I always consider him to be quite shady too! He gets away with a lot.
