Visual Novel Translation Status (24/10/2015)

Subscribe to email updates by signing up on this page. You’ll get an email each time a post goes up on the blog (though you can go into your account settings and customize it to only email you VNTS updates)

Five — yes, you read that right — FIVE releases this week! What are you doing reading this intro? Go! Go down to the green entries! Click the links! Get the patches! Oh — and thank the teams who have worked so hard to  make and release these patches!

Anyway! Welcome to our weekly VNTS (Visual Novel Translation Status) series, in which we track visual novel translation updates in-house (we don’t rely on /jp/ posts on 4ch, for example) and post it for your enlightenment and enjoyment each Saturday. If you find any errors, or you think a project is missing from this list, please let me know in the comments. Any new updates are marked by orange text.

The Short Version:
Only the New Stuff

  • Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ (Otome) – Released on PS Vita! (Link)
  • Divine Slice of Life – Adult Version -Released! Get it here: Link.
  • Gore Screaming Show – Temporarily on hold. On 10/21 (Weds) CryingWestern posted this explanation: “*At this current time, I’m unable to get in-contact with the translators. So whether they are too busy at the moment is unknown. I will probably know more later. This project has stopped until I can find more or and get in-contact with the others.*”
  • HaraKano – Ayana Seno’s Route 100% English Patch Released! Get the patch here: Link. The new patch translates 100% of Ayana’s route, 100% of her epilogue, and has been revised from its initial translation for better flow in English. So, with this, the HaraKano english patch now features the common route, all of Marina’s route (and epilogue) and all of Ayana’s route (and epiloge) in full English. 
  • Muv-Luv Chronicles 02: TDA01 and Aspiration – Patch release! Get it here: Link. This patch was brought to you by Albedo and his team, so please thank them! The patch contains Muv-Luv Chronicles 02: TDA01 and Aspiration. Wow, what an accomplishment!

Zakabox™ Commentary

「」Is Zaka dead, again? Is it possible that Hearthstone finally did him in? Find out next week (… probably) on our weekly VNTS Post Series! – Tay

TAYsteful™ Thoughts

This week’s header image comes all five of this week’s releases. Five releases. That’s pretty dang awesome.

I know this week’s commentary is anemic, but RL can be a party pooper sometimes. Have a good week, everybody.
