>tfw can't understand nip

Onething I liked about the VN so far, the bit where Kazusa was all serious about how she wouldn't let Haruki fuck up the Sound of Destiny solo under her tutelage and that she had faith in him, was REALLY touching.

No kissing or hugging or declaration of love, just being there for him, believing in him and absolutely refusing to let him fail.

Also that episode was adorable.

You know, a love triangle that ends with both girls getting together and leaving the male MC with nothing is an idea that should be explored.

If you're not a /u/fag, you should still want this for the shitposting that would ensure.

I have a question about the VN.

The options at the top are all japanese, do any of them enable auto-read like VN does automatically at certain points?

And what is that white tag icon that keeps popping up on the lower left.

Also, I can't now but tomorrow I shouldb e able to seed allthe torrentsi n the OP if anyone is struggling.

>>153448881

She has the look of a woman who was once a young girl that never dreamed anyone could lover her this much after her mum left her, that expression just screams 'we'veb een through so much'

I really really love that ending for Kazusa.

Aren't there like, 3 new heroines in the CC part of the VN? Are they any good? Feels weird to be able to not go with either Setsuna or Kazusa.

I take it the point was to show the reader a 'What if Haruki didn't hurt either of them' scenario?

She literally spent 5 years in Europe only playing piano so that Haruki would once hear it. He is the only thing she needs to be happy.

It was hard finishing the series especially the setsuna arc. I finished it because it's partly recommended and at the last episodes for Kazusa. I'd rather watch Yahari since it's the same shit but more comedic.

IC translation is alright. Setsuna route of CC translation is really bad.
> and how far is it translated?
Intro chapter is fully translated. Closing Chapter: common route and Setsuna route fully translated.
The translation is advancing at horribly low rate, like 5 lines per two weeks. It's safe to say that at this rate you would learn nihongo faster.

No, they're you're typical Anime friend. No sense of actual camaraderie just cheesy moment pushed in to show they're friends. The very same friends who becomes suddenly antagonistic when you make a bad decision. Examples of good display of friendship is Youjohan and Tari tari.

Anyways, even if they do support Setsuna, they never really consulted the MC about what he actually wants. They fucking lash out at him talking about or thinking of it. As if the concept of breaking up didn't and shouldn't even exist. I count three times that happened and I watched it this week. It's one-sided and there's no room for discussion. I think the MC is a dumbass for not breaking things up for a breather. But then I realize people surrounding him are pinning him down with their "support" for both parties and shooting him down whenever he tries to weigh his feelings.

If an adaptation can't give you a substantial glimpse of his character then he isn't worth shit in the first place. Shirou is from a shitty VN but you can determine how fucked up he is by the end of a cour. Sure it's not deep but it's not some empty slate who's only noteworthy characteristic is "I'm an indecisive guy who likes to nag at people because I'm a responsible former class rep" and ends there.

I couldn't sleep since you weren't coming back, so I decided to wait awake, and repeated the first step.

Haruki: I'll support you from now on, I'll live for your sake from now on

We both freeze where we stand, but not from the winter air surrounding us, and not from happiness either, but from the pressure, the despair and the depression weighing us down

haruki: listen, Kazusa, this is something only I decided, if you don't agree and it doesn't make you happy, if you're happier not taking my hand, then... I'll give up.
I only want your happiness...
but right now, I'm only causing you pain, I'm sorry.
but, you'll have to decide.
kazusa: me..?
haruki: probably, for both you and me, whatever the future has for us, we'll only find regret.
So at least, let's decide our own future, let's regret our own decision, if we're betraying someone dear, let's always carry that weight.
Kazusa: be-betray?
Haruki: I've already betrayed. Now you're the only one left.
Kazusa: ....
haruki: if this decision will make your life harsher, of if it'll make it a little happier...
i want you to consider it.
If you give me a positive answer, I'll do everything in my power to open up that path.
Even if I have to make a pact with the devil.

Haruki: shouldn't you give me an answer already? are you going to choose me, or are you going to dump me?
Kazusa: ... I went to the airport today...
haruki: eh?
Kazusa: I wasn't planning to run away and return to Vienna, I didn't even buy a ticket.
Haruki: then, why?
Kazusa: I just wanted to remember.
Haruki: remember what?
Kazusa: the sadness I felt when I left you 5 years ago, the pain that pierced my heart..
Kazusa: and I compared it, to the pain my decision would cause
Haruki: and then...?
Kazusa: don't you want to ask why was i waiting for you here?

Kazusa: you'll meet with Setsuna, and won't say anything about me, you'll give her a present, eat with her, and kiss her when you're alone, right?
Haruki: Kazusa...
Kazusa: and then you'll regret your decision, you'll think it's okay to leave me behind, that you're fine with Setsuna.

>>153450639
I like Yui better. She downright fails at being manipulative but that makes her sincere. This makes the whole "three of us together friends please cuck me" sincere in comparison to Setsuna. At the end of the day they're the same. The whole I'm not that ideal (kind in Yui's case) or the whole I have to keep things up shit they pull. But what makes the difference is that one of them does that out of teenage stupidity and not some calculated move. This is coming from a guy who dislikes Yui the most. Fuck Setsuna.

The thing is, Setsuna doesn't pretend. She may be kind of manipulative, but she doesn't lie. She was always straight with Kazusa, she didn't hide anything from her. Her manipulativeness is in calculating actions, not in putting up the front.
>>
>>153459365
I mean keep the mood up. Not keep up a facade. Yui's a stupid teenager who has room to improve while Setsuna's a manipulative cunt deserve any kind of shit she gets.

Indeed, she tried to confess to Kazusa on the rooftop but Kazusa was too determined to lie to herself.

She's a cunt and stupid as well. It doesn't help that she has no future prospects and ideals but to follow Haruki to wherever he goes. If she fought for her love in a less stupid and cuntish way, I can talk shit but at least I'll respect her. A character completely consumed by emotions.

What are you even talking about? Are you saying that their group of three was only valuable to Setsuna?

>surprised and depressed when your lover decides to make a move on the other girl

She said herself in that train that she was at fault (even though it was Haruki's fault). She never blamed neither Haruki nor Kazusa for what they did.
>>
>>153460657
It wasn't. But she was the one who originally proposed such an idea. You can't fault Kazusa for not trying to maintain the status quo because she wasn't the one pushing for it in the first place. At least she had the idea that maybe this isn't the right thing and I shouldn't be doing this to Setsuna. The problem lies on the one proposing it and fucking over the other one when things aren't going well.

>She said herself in that train that she was at fault (even though it was Haruki's fault). She never blamed neither Haruki nor Kazusa for what they did.
That's exactly it. She knowingly did such a thing and that's what makes her horrible. Only when things got fucked for everyone did she actually start contemplating the decisions she made. And that's what made it amazing for me. All her stupid manipulation came back to bite her in the ass.
>>
>>153460878
So the only acceptable course of action for Setsuna was to patiently wait until Haruki and Kazusa finally get together?
>>
>>153461111
No, it was to not push all of the three friends bullshit in the first place. But if it was unavoidable, at least have the heart to not to the drag the other girl into a three person special friendship. Just be friends with her. It would be hard for everyone and would take some time to convince Haruki. A little bit of talking goes a long way. If it doesn't work out, maybe it's not meant to be at least you fought for it.

I just think it's horrible to use someone's goodwill and friendship to become some sort pseudo-third wheel for your relationship. Not just any third-wheel, a girl you know who loved your boyfriend longer than you did and someone you fucked over to get your current boyfriend. Then have the audacity to showcase your relationship despite knowing what I've written above?

That's why I felt bad for Kazusa the most. She got dragged by these two idiots she loves, taking all this shit, and still took her long enough to gather the courage to properly move on.

When she was ill she was pretty cute, lying that she hated Haruki's food.

Scenes like this make me wish I could make videos of the eipisodes I have, fucking jack shit of WA2 on the internet besides the sex scene.

There's always fucking one.

Anyway, I forgot to mention how she said he reminded her how fun it was to play the Piano again shows just how far back they became connected, long before Setsuna was even a thing.

>>153483894

Do people really like WA2 enough to painstakingly read through them with a texthooker?

Have to say it does feel good removing my secondary status finally.

Happy birthday Setsuna despite being late.

Man, thanks for recommending this one on the thread few weeks before this one. I thought WA2 was 24 episode (I wish) since I watched WA1 and I expect it to be such but too bad its not. Definitely want it to be one, just to see a different perspective of each character's thought.

Just a few minutes watching episode 1, I know that I'm in for a wild ride and the last one that I remember that gives me one is Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

Since I watch WA1 despite it being a borefest, its a surprise how influential are the songs from there. Haruki playing White Album, Sound of Destiny and Powder Snow on guitar makes it all worth it watching WA1 at least. There is also the karaoke playing ガラスの華 and the karaoke showing other tracks of Rina's songs (theres even Red Orpheus that I didn't heard yet but I know its on the Sound Stage Drama CD)

After watching this, I know now why anons love it, as I can't speak for everyone, I think this is because how relationships are handled in this show, as the discussion here and the recent thread proves.

>>153480192
Rina Ogata is the only reason I trudge through WA1, I actually hope she wins, but Touya is a shit character.

Good thing Kazusa is a Rina fan.

This is what it's all about, or one thing anyway, getting new people into the series. I hope you try the VN in the OP if you feel the 13 episodes just weren't enough, as well as all the Omakes in the thread.

>its a surprise how influential are the songs from there.

I like to think that Rina Ogata inadvertently brought all three characters of WA2 together 10 years in the making when she recorded herm usic (I guess Yuki too). Seeing as it was WA that got Haruki and Touma to sort of bond and it was Setsuna singing it that alerted HAruki to her talent.

So as garbage as WA1 is (Why not just focus on one route for the anime, I can't stand that boring Actress bitch and her cuck boyfriend) and how little it has to do with WA2, WA2 managed to connect to it in a neat way.
>>

>Do people really like WA2 enough to painstakingly read through them with a texthooker?

Rina has the coolest-sounding song titles. The actual Sound of Destiny song wasn't as dramatic as the title suggested, so I wonder about the others. Should check them out sometime.

>how far back they became connected, long before Setsuna was even a thing.
The scene where Kazusa realized that Haruki had been learning to play instead of getting prepared for exams (because she told him to do that) was beautiful.
>>
>>153484663

Rina was fucking cool man, too bad her brother was insufferably pretentious. She was also the only one to truly care about Yuki in the end, the Powder Snow duet was great too.

Is WA1 VN translated? I am looking it up and it sounds pretty good, Touya isn't a indecisive cunt who sleeps around apparently, becayse, yes, I'm willing to take in anything tangentially related to WA2 at this point.
>>
>>153484927
Just start learning nip, mate. Kana + grammar, then some simple VNs with texthooker + translator and then you are ready to read WA2.

Kazusa and Haruki's relationship seems to be defined on all these invisible things, things they did but hid from one another and how they felt for each other, sometimes without eiher of them realising that's what they were doing.
>>
>>153485555

I know all too well how a small gesture like being given that book made Kazusa very attached to it.

I just finished WA1. What the fuck was that? Who wrote this? How was it possible that this and WA2 had any relation to each other beyond the songs? I went into WA1 expecting to like Yuki since she sang White Album and I liked that over Sound of Destiny at the school festival, but now I'm hardcore Rina.

One of the shittiest shows I've seen in a long time.
>>
>>153485808

I liked Yuki at first but she was such a fucking pushover and her relationship to Touya was so nearly non-existent that I'm not sure why I was supposed to care, I thought the inside going ons of the cutthroat Pop Idol industry wouldb e interesting but it falls by the wayside.

Reminder that everyone, including Rina, betrays Yuki but only Rina comes clean about it almosy immediately, because she was the only person on the show who truly loved Yuki as afriend, that's why she's based.

That's the thing that really gets me. Usually if you're with someone for that long you change as a person so as to better get along with them. Likewise they change as a person to better get along with you.

Despite that it didn't change a damn thing. Half a decade down the drain in an instant.

You can't 'see it'. You can only feel it.

You say it's a feeling. With thoughts alone it seem it's impossible to understand.

This song however felt like it was a step in the right direction. In the context of the series it has a great deal of significance.

Imagine not knowing how incomplete you were til' you met someone, someone who is your soulmate, someone you thought you were going to lose forever when they said they were leaving the country.

>>153505842
I'd probably vote Twinkle Snow, with honorable mentions for White Album (vocal+piano) and After All (Kazusa version).

Todokanai Koi (Setsuna version) is also good.

>>153512222
I think the one tricky part would be the subtitles. Otherwise you could just remux the video/audio into an .mp4 container, and Youtube would probably take it.

It looks like some sub file formats can be uploaded separately. Not .ass, but you might be able to convert the .ass to something supported if there isn't a lot of fancy typesetting in the clip.

https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734796

I almost feel like earlier when I said the 'Haruki/Kazusa marry in the room they first kissed' in was absolutely perfect, and it was, but it still kinda' leaves Setsuna out, not just from the group but from a satisfying concluding arc, but I don't know how I'd end her story either.

Depressing is pretty much WA2's mood. This song kinda defines Setsuna' love in that despite the repetitive betrayal ultimately she still loves him for who he is and is willing to forgive and move on. That's how people can see her as an angel.
Todokanai koi is more fitting as best song tho. The entire love triangle cluster fuck fits way too well.
>>
>>153520760

It's more from a pure storytelling aspect than anything, just feels that when Touma returns, Setsuna is confined to a stagnant narrative.
>>
>>153520534
Beautiful, yes, but Maruto himself said that there wasn't really any deep meaning behind it and that it was really just a tossup between having her sing Todokanai koi or Powder snow, and since he felt that the former would be a little awkward considering the situation he went with the latter. I feel like people read a bit too deep into the song choice there, but it's understandable I suppose.

Yasashii uso is the best song by the way.

He means the Kazusa normal route, which in the PS3/Vita version is called the "cheating" (浮気)route.
I would also say that it's the best ending in the original game, though I prefer Kazusa's afterstory over the extra episode (不倶戴天の君へ).

Setsuna fag actually. I liked those 2 route's resolution - burning the bridge and Setsuna the savior are both nice but the situation leads to that is way too forced. Fucking 5 years and they still decide things like when they were in high school.
Cheating route is the most likely result and most belieable. We dont have the sappy "my mother got cancer now I have no one to wipe my ass", just plain passion between the old love that leave both broken.
>>
>>153521312
No she doesn't. Don't think too deep on it. The most important takeaway from that scene is Setsuna's final line "私は今でも歌っています" which was just to let them know she's fine. See >>153520839
>>
>>153521419
That much we can believe is intentional. Why would you sing those words if you don't mean it?
It's even in English as in a special sentence that is hightlighted in the song
>>
>>153521497
It's a 20 year old song written for WA1 in an entirely different setting. It wasn't written for Setsuna, however much you might want it to be.

>>153521605

What do you want WA3 to be? A sequel to WA2 or another 'WA2' which only certain parts of WA1 and made it's own story?

I have to say...there really isn't any point in trying to surpass WA2, it really is just that good.

No, anon is overly exaggerating. That said, her mother is just as, if not more, important to her than Haruki, and she doesn't take the news of her mother's condition all too well. I'll leave it at that.

>>153521639
I don't think anybody in the industry at the moment has the balls to take on the White Album name after 2.

Leaf could use the name at some point for brand recognition, but it would be a pretty hard task to create something equal or surpass WA2.
>>
>>153521568
Like, dude. If you choose a song to sing for your love on valentine would you pick a song with "fuck you bitch im tired of your old ass get the fuck off my house"? Same shit here. She choosed a song knowingly that it has those "I still love you" words on it, at least it means she doesn't mind being seen as she is still in love.
>>
>>153521794
>if not more, important to her than Haruki,

I know it's her mother but damn, I find thathard to imagine, lol.

I hope Haruki offered her a shoulder to cry on. ;_;

>>153521794
>>153521896

It's not even a question of skill or balls imo, more 'what's the point', WA2 is the peak and should just be recognised as such to save everyone a lot of time.
>>
>>153522023
Don't forget that she also says something like "I am still singing" as a reference to his "the girl I love the most in the world is the Setsuna who is singing".
>>
>>153521639
Lyrics written by Haruki, music composed by Kazusa, and sung by Setsuna.

Worst thing is when i learnt Japanese I learnt to play VN. WA2 is pretty much my 1st one entirely read in japanese and now I don't have the motivation to read anything else.
God damn it nips I know you can do it. Shit out some more kamige pretty please
>>
>>153522092

She really shouldn't have sent that message, it's just harder on everyone, god damn it Setsuna you silly goose.

>>153522105

Such a great song, not just the song but everything it respresented with that sort of thing, the anime witholding it til' the very end was a really good idea too.
>>

This might sound really fucking stupid, but isn't Japan heavy on words thath avem ultiple meanings? How do you know you haven't missed any nuances of the author's writing? Or is the whole 'lost in translation' a phenomenom you just have to live with?

>>153521605
Trying to surpass WA2 is near impossible. It's so highly regarded that no matter what they do they will receive flax for it.

>>
>>153522380

Seems like a song about holding onto some painful nostalgia of a past love that you no longer have.
>>
>>153522244
WA2's japanese is actually pretty simple and straightforward. It's just emotional and realistic in that it feels like what normal people would actually think and do, not the fancy "she come like a wind in mid december" kind of thing. So I would say there aren't that much detail that I missed.
And at one point you start to think and look up things in japanese so the whole 'lost in translation' feel more like "I'm 12 and I have no idea what they are talking about, time to look it up"
>>
>>153522023
>>153522092
You can interpret it however you see fit. I've heard Maruto's explanation and I agree with it. If you want to write your own headcanon that's your business. I'm just stating facts.
>>
>>153522505
Funny thing is that this song would fit even more if Kazusa sings it at the end of cheating route.
>>
Going by the translated omakes, the author's writing style makes it tricky to keep track of who's saying which lines sometimes. (I guess voiced lines would fix that.) Also the parts where a character's lines are interspersed with their thoughts.

>>153523253

>>
>>153522761
Actually that was one I thing I would argue that was like high school thing the most. I would have no problem at all if he throws everything away was he young and stupid. But now having a job and is most basically married? Give me a break. Had Kazusa's mom didn't die then no way he would ever do it.
>You give Haruki too little credit.
Yeah because the faggot deserves none. Partially because Setsuna wouldn't let him men up too
>>
>>153524164
>I would have no problem at all if he throws everything away was he young and stupid. But now having a job and is most basically married? Give me a break
As for me it would be vice versa. Over those five years he has finally grown to have enough resolve to make a decision that would bring a lot of pain and change his life but still it would be a final irreversible decision.
>>
>>153523179
I didn't know I was such a sucker for this kind of story until WA2. Muv luv was pretty damn good and left me hollow inside for weeks too, but not like this. The kind of pure and straight up romance like this is just a diffirent beast when it comes to fuck up your emotion.
Hopefully nips can shit out some more stories like this
>>
>>153524415
The thing is it's not really his decision though. It's Kazusa's stituation that force him to make it, their love it self was never strong enough to beat the 5 years. Mom's death is the thing that tips the scale to let him go full maryr mode.
That's why I don't like the true endings. The stituation is stupid and force Haruki to make that choice. If her mom didn't die then we would be looking at another cheating route.
>>
>>153524759
>It's Kazusa's stituation that force him to make it, their love it self was never strong enough to beat the 5 years.
Congratulations, you just missed the whole point of coda.
>Mom's death is the thing that tips the scale to let him go full maryr mode.
What are you even talking about? Yoko doesn't die in any route.
>>
>>153525021
Welp kinda forgot if she lived or died, just remember that it leads to Kazusa's break down.
Point still stands tho. Maybe I should have said it like this. Haruki still loves Kazusa more than Setsuna, but as it is Haruki will never be able to cut the job, the relationship and Setsuna just to be together with Kazusa (normal condition). The whole point of coda is finding a tipping point for him to break out of the 5 years mold, but using that 'she has no one left but me' is cheap and unsastifying. Look at CC, there is no incident nor 'twist' to make Haruki come back for Setsuna yet they did get together. In constract to that Coda need the gimmick to get to the climax.
>>
>>153525392
You are still missing the point. It's not Yoko's condition that brings him back to Kazusa. It's not her loneliness etc. It's exactly those deep feelings they both had for each other. He doesn't choose the damsel in distress, he chooses the girl he loved the most, the girl who came to Japan just because he had wanted to hear a song from her.
>>
>>153525564
Yeah and tell me he would choose her despite the 5 years?
As I said if it wasnt for her mom we would be looking at another cheating route that leave Haruki broken. He is not strong enought to cut Setsuna down by himself.
>>
>>153525766
>Yeah and tell me he would choose her despite the 5 years?
Sure thing.
>As I said if it wasnt for her mom we would be looking at another cheating route that leave Haruki broken.
She has cancer in all the routes. Like I said, you're fixated on her sickness, but it has nothing to do with his choice.
>He is not strong enought to cut Setsuna down by himself.
He is.
>>
>>153525874
>She has cancer in all the routes. Like I said, you're fixated on her sickness, but it has nothing to do with his choice.
Well there are 3 routes in Coda, 1 he doesn't know about it, another 2 he is forced to make a choice.
And now that you tell me about that other route. The objectively better choice here is to ask Setsuna for help, I would concede everypoint about your 'love win everything' if Haruki burnt the bridge here to get together with Kazusa but did he?
Seeing in Kazusa true they never did come face to face with Setsuna until everything was over I would say neither of them have the ball to do cut Setsuna down in normal situation. They are experts at running away tho that much I admit
>>
>>153526119
>1 he doesn't know about it, another 2 he is forced to make a choice
He gets to know about it after he makes a choice. Come on, man, you just don't make sense.
>The objectively better choice here is to ask Setsuna for help
For what help? Help them get together or what?
>Seeing in Kazusa true they never did come face to face with Setsuna until everything was over I would say neither of them have the ball to do cut Setsuna down in normal situation.
What do you mean by 'everything was over'? After they both made that decision, they both told Setsuna about it.
>>
>>153526357
>He gets to know about it after he makes a choice.
Well I didn't remember Haruki know yoko gets cancer in cheating route? Mind remind me when did he get to know about it?
>For what help? Help them get together or what?
To help Kazusa get on her feet. Haruki is only good at spoiling Kazusa, what she needs is someone who can knock some sense into her, which only Setsuna can do.
>What do you mean by 'everything was over'? After they both made that decision, they both told Setsuna about it.
They made the decision, that was over, final, no taking back. The entire time they went around Setsuna back did they even attemps to confront her? Kazusa never met Setsuna, Haruki never utter a words. They love each other but their love is only strong enough for cheating.
>>
>>153526781
>Well I didn't remember Haruki know yoko gets cancer in cheating route?
No, what I meant is that he made decisions to choose or not to choose Kazusa even before knowing about her mother's sickness.
>To help Kazusa get on her feet.
She is alright. She doesn't need anyone to get on her feet. Haruki chooses to be with her because he loves her.
>They made the decision, that was over, final, no taking back. The entire time they went around Setsuna back did they even attemps to confront her? Kazusa never met Setsuna, Haruki never utter a words.
I don't get you. The situation is like this: Haruki decides to leave with Kazusa. Then he goes to inform Setsuna and her parents about it. She then meets with Kazusa who tells her pretty much the same thing.
Do you suggest that they had to meet Setsuna before making decision to leave? For what purpose? To DISCUSS it with her? Like, hey, Setsuna, I want to leave you and go to Europe with Kazusa, what do you think?
>>
>>153527135
>No, what I meant is that he made decisions to choose or not to choose Kazusa even before knowing about her mother's sickness.
Oh well I should have said Kazusa's break down then, sorry for that. I just remembered that because Kazusa was at the end of her rope so Haruki was forced the decision.
>She is alright. She doesn't need anyone to get on her feet. Haruki chooses to be with her because he loves her.
Jesus youre arguing she is perfectly fine functioning as a human? Without her piano she can't do anything. The girl need help to grow up, not another maid to spoil her.
>Do you suggest that they had to meet Setsuna before making decision to leave?
Well that's impossible I agree. If they have faced her before the decision no way they would ever be able to leave. Oh well I just want Kazusa and Setsuna have a honest talk beforehand like in Setsuna true, not just a visit to inform her that they already decided, get over it like that
>>
>>153527720
>I just remembered that because Kazusa was at the end of her rope so Haruki was forced the decision.
He wasn't forced to decide. You just made this conclusion assuming she broke down because her mother died\was one the verge of death\etc. But in reality it wasn't anything like that. He decided to be with Kazusa not because of some circumstances, but because her realised that his love for her is still there and it is as strong as it was.
>If they have faced her before the decision no way they would ever be able to leave.
They would be, but that's not the point. Telling her about the decision before that decision is made just makes no sense.
>The girl need help to grow up, not another maid to spoil her.
What she really needs is not some growth or anything. She only needs one person in the world to be happy.
>>
>>153527929
Well fuck. Ok gonna reread that part. I was pretty sure there is a last decision where he either ask setsuna for help or deal with it himself.
I was looking up for summary and walkthrough but cant really recall it. See you next thread then

Some translations from the previous thread.

Youko: "Looks like my daughter caused you a lot of problems last night"
Haruki: "Just in case, we didn't do anything, ok?"
Youko: "I see, that's unfortunate"
Haruki: for who?
Youko: "Excuse the intrusion. ah, I'll drink it with 4 cubes of sugar, lots of milk too."
Haruki:"...coffee or tea?"
Youko: "Ah, sorry, coffee. if it's instant, half a teaspoon."
Youko: "now then, where's my foolish daughter... eh?"
Haruki: "I'm sorry, I'd have woken her up if I knew you were coming"
Kazusa: "zzzz"
Youko: "..."
watching Kazusa sleeping on the bed, Youko made a difficult expression.
Youko: "since when has she been sleeping?"
Haruki: "she's been sleeping for near 12hrs, she had a fever, so she went to sleep right after eating."
well, not counting the time I spent scolding her.
Youko: "she ate?"
Haruki: "yeah, just some rice gruel with vegetables though, and some desert, I guess..."
I say that while trying to not raise my voice, and not mind the completely empty bottle of jam I had in my fridge
Youko: "i completely lost"
Haruki: "youko-san?"
she changed the expression she had, and like westerners do, she raised both her hands in an exaggerated expression.
Is there something wrong? Is Kazusa weak at getting up? ...just like Setsuna...
Youko: "what do you mean you don't have a place in Japan? is this place extraterritorial territory? I completely lost as your mother.
Haruki: "uuh"
Youko: "what's with this happy sleeping face? I should write on it. Guitar-kun, got a marker? an oil based one."
Haruki:"I do, but I won't give it to you."
Youko-san kept peeking at Kazusa's sleeping face and mumbling complaints.

Haruki: "here's your sweetened water, I mean coffee"
Youko: "thank you, mhh, it's kind of bitter..."

Haruki: "I'll let you know I'm just a regular employee"
Youko: "Oh, I see your guitar over there, hope you don't mind..."
Haruki: "...go ahead..."
Youko: "mmm it's acoustic guitar, worth around 10000yen?"
Haruki: "more, 15000 yen"
I have more things to say, but she doesn't seem to be acting with malice...
*Youko plays a kickass little tune*
Haruki: "....ngh..."
now wait a moment.
there was an humiliating memory 5 years ago where I was shown how inferior my skills with the guitar were by a rebel classmate of mine...
but what is happening here is in no way different from that.
Youko: "mmh, I haven't played in like 10 years... I'm in really bad shape"
Haruki: ...
These mother and daughter pair, how much are they going to make me despair
until they're satisfied?
Youko: "looks like you haven't been playing much, your skill will decline, Guitar-kun"
Haruki: "My name is Kitahara, please stop calling me "guitar-kun"
Youko: "ah, I might just bothered the neighboors, you'll have to go apologize later"
Haruki: "it's fine, the room next to this is empty right now"
And she doesn't plan to go apologize herself?
Youko: "Ooh? that's nice to know. That's really nice to know"
kazusa: "zzzz"

>>153557294
>Well some people feel pretty strongly either way, and don't think the other deserves a win
Human trash.
>some just don't want to break immersion.
Fair enough, though you should regard each arc as its own thing. OPs and EDs break my immersion more to be honest.

She had better ratings or production committee for whatever reason thought she will sell better or somebody in production committee was her fan. You already know the answer, why do you ask?
>>
>>153557121
The anime adapted Part 1 of the VN, which only had one route that left all parties emotionally crippled.

>>153557225
Part 2 had more side girls to pick from. I don't know if their arcs can be squeezed into an omnibus, or if they're workable as a mishmash, or if it's better to just stick to one. Part 3 had routes for the main two girls (plus a Normal End), but it's still dramatic and bittersweet all around, so I doubt an omnibus would work well.

Because everything that made Touma, Touma, her mannerisms and personality are what Haruki fell in love with, I think he was drawn to her coolness and ever since she tuned his guitar and gave him tips he saw the real her.

>>153557387

Well, this is why different routes exist, but you have to accept the anime route as the canon it chose.

>>153557483

I don't buy this at all.

Because he loves her more.

jeez, I meant for the anime only obviously, if you think VN Haruki chose Setsuna, I guess you can? (Does this mean not accepting Coda as canon?)

>>153557730

I think the writer of the VN and director of the anime simply had more integrity than that and they chose Kasusa as the girl for Haruki because they felt it was better for the story (and I'd agree).

I'd love to be as optimistic as you are (not saying you are necessarily wrong though)
>>
>>153557983

I don't think there'd be that big a loss with Setsuna either way, because most people ae secondaries and just don't know better, so they were free to choose.

Jesus, what are you even talking about? Anime adapted only IC. IC doesn't have routes. IC is like a kinetic novel - no choices, just story. There couldn't be anything like 'director decided' because he had nothing to choose from.
>>
>>153558156
Did it have to adapt this IC though? I'm a filthy secondary in this case, but in most VNs you can have multiple girls win.
>>
>>153558301
IC means Introductory Chapter. Of course it had to, because it is where the story started. To finally reach the part, where multiple girls could win, they would have to make like 48 eps.
>>
>>153557889
Coda had a Setsuna route you could pick.

>>153558156
There's always the dreaded "anime-original ending" option...

>There's always the dreaded "anime-original ending" option...

You've just made me realise how this anime adaptation had so many ways it could have fucked up, and yet still didn't.
>>
>>153558406
Let me get it straight. One girl winning is canon and you can't change it, but you can later leave her for other girls? Good thing I didn't read this.
>>
>>153558544

Did you watch the anime? Kazusa left for Europe.

underrated? Well, nice one, your picture posting far surpassesm ine.
>>
>>153558406
This caught my eye when scrolling, please explain, sounds interesting. I neither watched nor read it, but I remember that according to threads one girl won and you claim that it's just adaptation of an introductory chapter to a VN? So you start a game (the part where you can make decisions) already having a girlfriend?
>>

It's not the 'victory' you imagine.

Reminder that you can safely watch White Album 2 without watching White Album 1.
>>
>>153559319

Yeah, swings and roundabouts, I'm not at the end of the VN yet, but I think the animation of the series and direction/cinematography is too good for the VN to compete, but it also inevitably passes the finer details over.

Which is why I'm reading the VN, well other than that I wanted more WA2.

>>153559364

I should have put that in the OP, and stressed if you absolutely must watch that trash, do it AFTER White Album 2.

Speaking of OP, I picked quite the picture quote for the thread, didn't even read what Setsuna said til' after I posted it.

We're getting close. It's just that the OP can't self-bump his thread consecutively. Although I thought I recalled that limit wore off after a day or two.
>>
>>153561898

I can't be bothered firing up Paint and [s[poiler]VLC[/spoiler] again, but after the fist bump the camera pans to show Setsuna witness it, behind out of focus, it's not Citizen Kane but I love that the show does shit like that.

And I see, well either way, was a good thread. Although the discussion about Kazusa and Haruki's far future gave me a bit too many feels.

I don't care. Setsuna is still best.

>>153561366
I got your joke and even chuckled a bit, but I couldn't really spoil the ending without going into lots of details.
>>
>>153562210
It was fun how Setsuna's own mother (or was it brother?) told her that she was no match for Kazusa.
>>
>>153562350

When?
>>
>>153561898
I think sometimes consecutive OP bumps work if it's been like an hour in between. Not too sure about the specifics.

It's past time for me to sleep, but I've enjoyed the thread too. If I ever figure out YouTube uploads I'll post better instructions in a future thread.

(Kazusa's birthday is May 28, but there's no need to wait that long if the urge strikes :3)

>>153562247
Same here, you basically end up summarizing the whole plot in the process.

>>153562442
When Setsuna first invited those two into her house to convince Kazusa to participate.

I can't let a WA2 thread die but I won't start another too early myself precisely because it will take all the drive out of ones in times where we really need it, like Feb 14th.

I remember this, the eavesdropping part, I think it's meant to be largely humourous though and they're responding to a conversation out of context.

Does anyone fucking sleep in this series? or most of these anime, Haruki goes about a full week at one point on 2-3 hours a day.
>>
>>153562705
>I think it's meant to be largely humourous though and they're responding to a conversation out of context.
Of course, but it still was fun.

Kazusa. Literally every day at school.

>Kazusa. Literally every day at school.

Ah yeah, the only one with a believable sleep pattern actually. Though it does warm my heart to know she was always 'watching' Haruki and probably listening to him being 'fool' and helping everyone.


Reminds of Fate/Stay Night where Shirou would freak out when he wakes up 'late' at like 6:30 AM.
