Is there any more evidence to suggest Persona-kun is Mouri Motokiyo?

i swear these series need translations to further popularize in the west

the overlord threads are a perfect example of what happens when the west popularizes something

Oh boy.

Chapters 30-32:
Kasuya's unit fights Maeda and his skeleton army.
After comparing the tower of ether coming from Honnouji with the one at Mikawa, Class Plum concludes Motonobu may have blown up Mikawa to hide the fact that he was using a ton of ether to transfer something through the ley lines.
With help from Shakespeare, they fully decode Carlos I's message, but still aren't entirely sure what it means.

And a random fact: The black algae creatures are the future past version of Slavs.

>>15356042
Doesn't do us much good if no one knows the thread is here.

>>15357162
Slavs or slaves? If it is slavs, is there some sort of racist connotation there I'm unaware of? I don't see the relation at all

I hate it here. I hope things go back to normal soon

>>15357300
Slavs were commonly used as slaves at that time in history (it's where the word slave comes from), so the algae creatures take on that role since they physically need to do what's considered "slave work" to live.

>>15357327
I think what he's trying to ask is do they squat?[\spoiler]

>>15357327
Oh cool. I do so love this series since I actually learn bits of history from it like that.

>>15357341
How would that even work?

so all LN thread goind to /jp now?

>>15357162
>using a ton of ether to transfer something through the ley lines

Wonder if it has anything to do with the Academy of Nowhere.

Why is this on /jp/ now? Would have missed it, just saw the moved thread in the archive by chance. At least we can survive euronight now.

on a side note, got an acrylic print of the 9-B cover. Should arrive tomorrow. I hope it looks good.

>>15360756
Because LNs go on /jp/

>>15360756
It certainly looks great as a phone wallpaper.

>>15357327

Common misconception.

Good to know squatbrothers still squat in the far future.

Did we ever get a confirmed top speed of the Musashi apart from the 200(?) knots in gravitational cruising on the way to England?

>>15361222
Not that Wikipedia is a valid source, but it does say that's where the word comes from. Where do you say it originates?

>>15362982
>Wikipedia
You must be joking.

Slavs were calling themselves that long before they even got mentioned in anglo literature. Not to mention slave markets weren`t even using english in the first place until America became the main customer.

>>15361942
Encyclopedia is always the answer. Usual cruise was somewhere around 15 knots.

>>15364155
Well yes, but I meant top speed when not giving a fuck about fuel consumption, not regular cruising. Like when they did the backflip or catapulted the ship across MHRR.

Turned out pretty well. Couldn't really take a proper picture though, the acrylic reflects ungodly amounts of light.

>>15364152
Do you not know how etymologies work?

The English goes back to French which goes back to Latin which is where Slav was used to mean slave:
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=slave
>late 13c., "person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.

>>15365455
>The Slavic autonym is reconstructed in Proto-Slavic as *Slověninъ, plural *Slověne. The oldest documents written in Old Church Slavonic and dating from the 9th century attest the autonym as Slověne (Словѣне). The oldest mention of the Slavic ethnonym is the 6th century AD Procopius, writing in Byzantine Greek – Sklaboi (Σκλάβοι), Sklabēnoi (Σκλαβηνοί), Sklauenoi (Σκλαυηνοί), Sthlabenoi (Σθλαβηνοί), or Sklabinoi (Σκλαβῖνοι), while his contemporary Jordanes refers to the Sclaveni in Latin

>The Slavic autonym *Slověninъ is usually considered a derivation from slovo ("word"), originally denoting "people who speak (the same language)," i.e. people who understand each other, in contrast to the Slavic word denoting "foreign people" – němci, meaning "silent, mute people" (from Slavic *němъ – "mute, mumbling").

>The word slovo ("word") and the related slava ("fame") and slukh ("hearing") originate from the Proto-Indo-European root *ḱlew- ("be spoken of, fame"), cognate with Ancient Greek κλῆς (klês - "famous"), whence the name Pericles, and Latin clueo ("be called"), and English loud.

>>15365570
Your point?
The etymology of the word Slav is irrelevant to whether the word slave was derived from it.

>>15364651
Fuck me that's sexy. Where did you get it from?

She was running away from dolls
>She quickly slipped below the next table and launched herself into the passageway by the back wall.

But she heard a certain sound ahead of her.

Tonbo Spare’s blade had stabbed into the back wall. The impact caused her to spin around by the wall.

“Phew.”

She took a breath as she placed her curled-up body in a crouching pose and landed facing the entrance. She was below the counter seats by the back wall. To her right, Tonbo Spare was stabbed into the wall near the floor.

>“I’m not really sure.”

>“Not even someone on your level can tell?” Gin tilted her head. “When we were given Lype Katathlipse, no one knew how to use it and it had no instruction manual or warranty, yet you smiled, said ‘Like this maybe?’, and tore down the secondary school building. At the time, I was impressed by your carefree manliness.”

Are you saying I can have her!? …You want me to wait!? Mary is more important, but you can’t let me have her!? Are you a monster!? Or are you taking your faith too lightly!? As divine punishment, I’ll send you a divine mail with all the ending dialogue copied into it! What? I just have to choose ‘yes’ for all the choices with that company’s games!? You fool! I’ve been stuck in an infinite loop of ‘Let’s become one → Yes → It would be a shame to do that now!’ What!? Calm down and choose ‘no’ to continue!? Surely you aren’t suggesting I choose to reject a messenger of god… What? How did I get this far with that attitude? You think I should be playing games rated ‘priests only’ instead of ‘adults only’? Hmph, the only option left is to check the divine net!”

Yeah, shipping is what's keeping me from ordering them. That and not being able to read them. If it was cheaper to get, I'd definitely buy them just to have the pretty pictures in hand while reading js06's translations.

I really should continue reading OnC. I'm 2/3 or so through 3-A and it's fun. Didn't like vol. 2 that much personally.

>>15384216
You should. A lot of people don't seem to like OnC volume 2, but it definitely gets better afterwards. By the time you get to volumes 5 or 6 you'll wish to never get off Kawakami's wild ride.

>>15384216
As should I. I'm still about half way through 2A.

Mainly through poor time management I don't get around to reading.

I'm seriously considering just starting Hexennacht instead.

Does anyone remember which HDDD volumes I purchased?

>>15384368
Nope.

http://www.tenkystore.com/product-group/6

>>15384338
Well, Hexennacht's a lot simpler and more lighthearted, so it's a good pick if you don't want to spend too much time.

>>15384372
That's the problem, I need to know which ones I am missing before I order more.

I think I know which they are now. I'll have to pick up the new Horizon book cover too. Still annoyed that I missed the OnC cover.

From what I hear they are kinda hard to read though, partly due to no furigana at all.

Kawakami himself loves shmups, though. He'd approve, I think. There's even a fangame shmup based on his work.
I think the same kind of autism needed to enjoy Kawakami's works is the same kind you need to really get deep into Touhou, not that I've done so myself.

>>15355649
I want to get into this stuff (Primarily for Honda Futayo who looks really cute in the pictures I've seen)

Should I just read the Horizon LN first? or is the anime a worthy adaptation. I haven't felt like reading it up until now because while I love the art and most the character designs, it seems like there's so many of them that ones you like wouldn't get the screen time you want them to get.

File: Futayo eating something.jpg (180KB, 1231x1765px)

>>15396636
You could start wherever you want basically. The anime is a good adaptation, but it's likely that you'll be confused at the beginning. I'd suggest watching the anime first, coming back here if you have any questions and then reading the LN starting at 1-A. You could theoretically skip to 3-A after watching both seasons, but you'll miss out on some stuff.

I tried to get into Kawakami's work, but I just can't stand his style. There's way too much technobabble for my taste. Mind you, others might find this right up their alley. I'm just not the type to appreciate lengthy infodumpings on how magic works and so on. I think it actually detracts from the story, specially when this explanations come in the middle of an action sequence.

>>15396832
I would say that Kawakami tries to get that outside the fights actually, or at least compared to other LNs like Index or Mahouka. When Kawakami gives infodumps is during negotiations or history related issues.

The more infodumpy fight in Horizon is the very first one in 1-A, most of them in later volumes lack any kind of big infodump and sometimes the weapons only get two lines about what they do, usually said by a character instead that a narration. The part were Kawakami's fights are hard to some people is how detailed they are, to the point he explains point by point everything that is going on so some people can find it a bit extreme.

>>15396832
The fights are almost never like that. For example Owari no Chronicle lacks lenghty infodumps of any kind and they are usually spiced in the middle of an actual conversation or joke scene. Fights can get tiring because of the detail, not because the infodumps thrown there,

>>15396938
Good to know I`m not the only one getting confused sometimes. Man, that fight of Thunder Fellow VS Black Sun was awesome as fuck, but sometimes my brain just tilted while I tried to make my imagination keep up with everything that was going on.

>>15396938
>>15396941
Infodumping, details, technobabble. Call it however you want, point it's pretty fucking distracting, to me at least.

>>15396965
The point is that those details are the fight itself and not something that distract you from it. As I said, the problem is that talking abut each one of the blows and movements can be a bit tiring, but it's not a halt in the action to throw an tangentially related explanation like most japanese young fiction does.

Speaking of Kawakami fights, I still have no idea what happened in Narumi vs Urguiaga between after they both got into the air and when Narumi formed the sword cage.

Serious question, is there some in-story reason all the girls have retarded hair and breasts?
Is it like that anime where some ninja chick could steal other women's titmass, but they win hair and tits after battles? Every time I see something from this, I can't help think how ridiculous it looks, but everything else looks ridiculous too so I figure there might be some lore reason, like they store mana in their tits or something. I think there was an anime like that too.

>>15420061
It wouldn't be surprising if there was, really.
But if I remember correctly it came down to 'Kawakami likes it'.

>>15420149
I'm willing to bet it comes down to "Kawakami and Satoyasu both like it".

I can agree that some have gigantic breasts and some have ridiculous amounts of hair but "all the girls" means you haven't seen at least half the cast.

>>15420197
How many of the major characters have huge tits and hair? How many of them have normal sized tits and hair(read: are not flat, nor tomboys either.)? It doesn't matter if everyone not important doesn't have ridiculous designs.

Also why do you seem angry about it?

You can look it up and thank me later.

TL;DR(decided to just put this at the top): If I watch this anime, will I get lots of battles or constant fanservice? Ignore everything else below and just answer this.

>>15420264
>No, not everybody has a huge rack, even on Musashi.
On what?

>we had our share of shitposters trying to derail threads exactly this way.
This is literally the first thread I've seen about this series on /jp/.
Besides that, why does it derail a thread to talk about their boobs? I don't get it. Most of the images are about their boobs.

>>15420296
Stop what? asking questions? I've had this anime for a long while but never got around to watching it. The character designs just kind of bother me. If there's more normal looking people than weird ones, it won't bother me as much, but I have a low tolerance for excessive character designs. I'm tired of "everyone must be hyper busty or loli" worlds too.

They don't spend an excessive amount of time talking about boobs and boring shit like that, do they? I saw cool mecha battles and stuff that interested me, but they do spend a lot of time fighting vs fucking around and fanservice right? It looks like it's genuinely interesting but I'm still on the fence about just deleting it and freeing up some space.

>>15420455
It's hard to say if you would like it. Watch at least the first four episodes, better if you watch five or six.
Breasts in the anime have been generally enlarged over the original LN illustrations.

>>15420483
Why so many? That's like half a season. (btw there are only the two seasons right? No ovas or anything?)

What little I know about it seems like I would like it, but it would be ruined if it was under excessive fanservice is all. As long as it doesn't start off strong and then spend the whole middle part as school harem titty yuri hijinx or something, I'll be fine with it.

Because the first three episodes serve to set up the world, backstory and characters and the actual plot doesn't really start until ep4/5. Also yes, there are 2 seasons, 26 episodes total.

I'm really not sure what your definition of 'excessive fanservice' is if some characters having tits already seems to annoy you that much. Please elaborate on that.

>>15420525
Because the first three episodes are mostly setting up the huge setting before it starts getting into the main plot for the first arc.

No, I definitely didn't. The first time I noticed on the third watch was definitely the first time I noticed it. I don't forget details of shows like that and all the watches were within the last 2 years. I might have forgotten something like that if I went 6 or 7 years without watching it though.

>>15420556
>I'm really not sure what your definition of 'excessive fanservice' is if some characters having tits already seems to annoy you that much. Please elaborate on that.
The latter seasons of Dog Days and Zero no Tsukaima vs the first seasons of them. Monogatari is a good example of something I refuse to bother with at all because of excessive fanservice scenes.

>some characters having tits already seems to annoy you that much.
It's not that "some characters have tits", it's "some of these characters have ridiculous porportions like they're out of the late 90s." It sort of gives the impression it's of a low quality. I don't mind it in, say, Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka, because it's silly, but a work that wants to be taken seriously but the main posted characters look like they're from one of those trashy shows by the Kanokon/Ladies vs Butlers guy or something is kind of a bad impression. As long as they care more about the plot/action than the girls' tits, I'm fine. It goes the other way too, btw: a show entirely about flat chested girls is most likely just yuritrash that I'll ignore.

>>15420583
Nipples don't make something fanservice. If the bath scene isn't them talking about important things, but just rubbing each other and splashing water around, that's fanservice.

>>15420562
ok

>>15420747
The bath scene is an important talk.

>Anyone else a little weirded out that this anon is apparently a regular /jp/ browser but has that dudebro posting style?
What's a "dudebro" posting style?

I (the one asking questions) pretty much post only here nowadays, but I was around before even /jp/ existed, since like 2004, when it was still okay to say "lol" and stuff.

>>15420765
Just the way you described Manyuu and maybe mention Qwaser is all. I didn't mean any disrespect though.

>>15420747
>It's not that "some characters have tits", it's "some of these characters have ridiculous porportions like they're out of the late 90s

You actually do have some valid reason for being suspicious of this show. I too was wary of it because of the fanservice and the stigma of being a LN adaptation, but I'm really glad that I stayed for the ride and now I vibrate in happiness every time there's more Kawakami novels. Don't worry, the fanservice is not the focus, but the banter between the characters, the fights, the debates, the twists of history recreation, and of course the jokes are makes this novel/anime so interesting.

>>15421175
None at this point.
Just look at this: >>15408459
If you haven't bought any volumes so far the shipping costs alone will kill you.

So, either you wait when your way of life takes you to Japan (or someone you know) and you get it like this, or you wait for a digital release (who knows if it will ever happen) or you simply bite into the sour apple and pay those shipping fees.

>>15421175
Buy them online from a used book store at least and they will be really cheap, just gotta worry about the shipping

>>15421203
>If you haven't bought any volumes so far the shipping costs alone will kill you.

Not only that I have no idea if I will even like it or not.

>>15421210
It's about 150,00 yen, dear god.

>>15421175
The Horizon Shit mediafire dump has scans of the first 14 or 15 books.

>>15421199
Is it better than SAO by now? Not that that's hard to do.

>>15421175
The 25 books so far are 22810 JPY (new) which isn't that much. But the shipping, depending where you live, will be more than that like the other anons said.

>>15421235
I guess that's a start, or just buying 1-A and seeing.

>>15421241
It's always been better, but still suffers from reki's writing style.

>>15421252
Shipping is $15 from amazon if you buy the set.


Horizon seems huge, but were are not going to have a Yamaguchi situation where Kawakami fucking dies before it's done right? The guy must be 40+, ripe for the deadly japanese cold.

>>15421264
Horizon is already in its finishing stages.

>>15421264
>but were are not going to have a Yamaguchi situation where Kawakami fucking dies before it's done right?
It's looking like the next book will be last the one right now.

Last question, should I even bother with the anime, I'm already sure this is a stupid question but I need to ask? Is the psp visual novel any good?

>>15421284
The anime is a pretty damn good adaption considering just how many pages the light novel actually has.
I suggest you watch it simply because it will help you to remember the sheer amount of characters and still read the novel afterward.

>>15421284
I thought the psp game was an game with gameplay and stuff not a VN

>>15421374
It has gameplay and visual novel parts.

The PSP game is a grindfest. You cover the anime sections in a couple of hours and then it's a matter of completing a thousand odd missions to unlock CG, particularly swimsuit CG.

FFS. Every fucking time the orientation tag gets me.

I have Gin in a swimsuit but her confidence level isn't high enough for me to get the scene so I have to send her out on missions more.

>>15421501
was it worth the 30,00 yen to get it from the psn?

>>15421683
I bought the Limited Edition box and then paid extra so I could get the digital version.

In terms of pure cost to time, if you get into it you will sink tons of time into it so it will be worth it, but it is not an amazingly entertaining game.

>>15421698
Sounds awful, besides 3000yen is 1/4th of the way to a full collection of Horizon.

>>15421721
Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

I had a text document in Horizon Shit that had some translations for the Horizon game, a bit of a guide and such that has mysteriously disappeared and the original file is back in New Zealand.
Did anyone save it?

Are this illustrations from 9-A or 9-B??

>>15422383
9A

>>15421504
I just realized the correlation between Confidence Level and Character Events.

I have to do two more Character Events for Futayo and four for Gin to get their swimsuit CGs, and I may have to dock another eight times to get to July as well. Annoying.

I'm at episode 4 of the first season and i have a dumb question about the setting in Horizon.

Why are they staying on ships when the soil seems fertile ? They said that they had to live on ships because the land is hostile so i thought that the earth was like a sand desert or something but it's all green with a lot of trees.
Is there people on the ground or all humans live on moving city/country ship ?

>>15423668
They're staying on the airship because the Far East lost the war and so, under provisional rule, they're not allowed any land except the Musashi and some settlements around the country. The other countries are on the ground.

>>15423668
>>15423695
Also only the rest of the world doesn't support life. Japan is fine.

They just living there
Far East have some reservations and Mikawa
Musashi is a part of provisional rule
Every year they sail around world nations

>>15423695
Thanks for answering anon.
I see, so it's like a penalty imposed on the losers by the others countries ?
Far East is only Japan or the whole East Asia ?

That's pretty cool.

>Only two territories for the Far East
Looks like Aoi got a lot of work to do if he want to take back the whole land.

I'm on episode 6, are all these names and characters supposed to mean anything to me? Feel like I'm reading an alternative history textbook with made up names.

>>15423979
The current situation is that the world history and sengoku era history of Japan are being run at the same time on the same land so world countries are fused with Sengoku clans for the history recreation. So Spain is Spain and the Oouchi and Ootomo clans, Italy is Italy and the Aki clan and Musashi represents all of Japan on the world stage and the Matsudaira clan in internal Japan history.

Most of the names are actual historical figures though they may not have all existed at exactly the times the series has them appearing since the on record year is 1648 and some of the names that appear were dead by 1600 in the original timeline.

Looking up the Thirty years war and Sengoku history should help a bit.

>>15423979
>>15424048
Also I forgot to mention most Musashi students don't have direct history names and the world has it's own actual history different from the one that they are trying to remake that effects how things in the world are now.

Chapters 35-36:
After some help from Takenaka, the nonhuman unit, and Zwei Furstin, Kasuya goes through her werewolf transformation and defeats the giant skeleton.

>>15424151
I haven't really been following the spoilers, but who ere the two Zwei Fürstin?

>>15424201
The Speer versions of Naito and Naruze.

Some names do. Well, they usually explain it well enough, or you don't need to know more than "this was an important dude in the Warring States or Thirty Years' War.

>>15424211
Figured.
I guess he went for Fürstin since they were feudal lords. He really thinks through everything, that man.

>>15424246
The proper plural would be Fürstinnen, though. Just wanted to mention that.

>>15424257
Fraulein isn't plural either.

>>15424281
It is.
It's either Fräulein or Fräuleins.
Both work.

>>15424151
Is there a Speer version of Naomasa, Nate or Heidi? Are all the Speers girls?
