Back in 2011, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai was popular, but I didn’t get a chance to see it. With that, I finished watching the first season and really enjoyed it. (Image Source)

Let’s Play Atelier Meruru – Episodes 2 & 3

January 22, 2013 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Artist: mirai (macharge)

I basically finished editing Episode 2 and 3 a bit early. Because of that, I may as well bring them to the public. In these episodes, I do some farm development and making the path to the mines. Believe it or not, I made a lot of progress in those five months. Believe me, the in-game time goes by very quickly (although you have a lot of time if you meet the extension requirements).

Also, I received a question on where to get this game since it’s pretty niche. Your best bet is NIS America website or Amazon. Aside from that, feel free to add me on the Playstation Network. Mine is chikorita_157, which is my Japanese PSN account (trophies list will have mostly Japanese language games). I will accept everyone who I know in the blogosphere first.

The next posting (Episode 4 and 5) for this let’s play will be made in two weeks. For now, enjoy! (Image Source)

Challenges of Localization: The Never-Ending Debate

January 19, 2013 by Chikorita157 8 Comments

Artist: 05 (passelclow)
While I have talked a bit about the subtitles and dubbing debate early in my anime blogging career briefly, there is something that caught my attention regarding localization. Just this week, there has been news that Tecmo Koei won’t be having dual audio to the English version of Atelier Ayesha. As you would expect, the whole fandom blew up in rage just like that and advocating boycotts. However, there have been recent instances in Anime where licensing companies such as Sentai Filmworks excluded the Japanese Audio from Blu-rays, most notably the Persona 4 The Animation to make the release unattractive for reverse importation. Of course, that too had repercussions.

In general, localization and the whole sub vs. dub debate is a never-ending controversy for many reasons that I will explain. (Image Source)

Let’s Play Atelier Meruru – Episode 1 and Introduction

January 17, 2013 by Chikorita157 10 Comments

It’s a new year and as promised, I will be doing another Let’s Play. This time, I will be doing this one on a pretty niche Japanese RPG. As the title suggest, it’s about making items and this is the third game in the Arland Trilogy.

Like last time, I will be making a post for every two episodes, which will be about an hour long. I am planning to record enough before college starts so I have enough content before Spring Break, which I plan to record the rest. As always, if you have any suggestions on improving future episodes or have any thoughts, just leave them in the comments below.

For now, enjoy the first episode. I plan on publishing the next episode next week. Please note that I’m using the Japanese audio, not the English Dub.

Note: No Punis were harmed in the making of this Let’s Play. (Image Source)
