Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about official otome game translations. Though expect this to be a short post, that I may write more about in another post if I don't feel satisfied with it enough. But here we go~! (Either way though, aren't these translations posts just the gist of it all anyways?)
Like with most unofficial translations, official ones tend to have a group of people working on translating a game. Though unlike with unofficial translation projects, official ones tend to be an actual job that they actually get paid for. This also leads to them getting done with in a few months to a year. They get done much quicker.
You also have to pay for these ones obviously, as like I said, this is a job for people. Not only that but it's official which means the company who made the game gave them the licence to do this. So this could get bought physically and could be downloaded on sites like Steam, etc. This also makes them less risky, since you know it's all official, etc.
I think this will be all for this post though. I've been quite busy lately, so that's why these last two posts have been a bit shorter than normal, though I hope to get back on track soon! Though please comment down below what you think about Official otome game translations, and I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Roll Out The Works! +Unofficial Otome Translations
Hello! Welcome back to another post! In the last post I talked about a translation group and how they finished translating the game they were working on. So for this post I'll be talking about translations once again, and this may or may not turn into a three part thing. Though for this post I would like to talk about Unofficial translation projects (game translations).
Honestly when it comes to this kind it takes a lot longer. Mostly because the people who are translating this and doing this for us tend to be doing this for free and in their own time. They have lifes of their own and things pop up. Sometimes/most of the time the project ends up being unfinished/canceled. So sometimes they will only translate one route in an game before quitting, but sometimes they do fully translate it. It just takes awhile as I said.
Not only that but I bet that if they don't get some form of encouragement, then it makes them want to work on it even less. Even if they choose to do this because it's something they love and want to share with more people by doing this. So with these types you have to be patient with. Not only that but unlike official translation, you have to download them in a way the could be quite confusing if you have no idea what to do.
Not only that but sometimes it could be quite scary as well, though I guess it depends on you. Also sometimes you need to actually own the game then install the translations they made and somehow put it into the game.
Though I would also say that this would obviously say that it would kinda take loner and be a bit harder compared to a company doing this. But atlas this is all for this post. Please comment on what you think down below! For now, I'll talk to you guys later!

Initialized Cupcakes! +Translation Projects +Anniversary no Kuni no Alice
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I'll be talking about translation projects. Though before that I would like to mention that "Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk" for PS Vita came out this week! You can get this game on Amazon or Gamestop and I'll provide links to them down below. Now though let's get onto the main part of this post.
I'm going to be talking about translation projects, though not necessarily projects themselves? I'll be focusing myself onto one group and one game as of right now. (Though I will bring this topic back to talk about a few other factors.) There is a group of translators called Marchen Translations. Today they finally posted the final/full patch of "Anniversary no Kuni no Alice"! They've been working on this game for quite a long time and the finally have it completed today! I'll give the link down below to the website and the page of the final patch.
Though last year I talked about this group and about this series. It's an "Alice in Wonderland" themed otome game. I knew this game in the past before I even knew about this translation project and last summer I installed it. This was my first unofficial otome game that I downloaded. At first I was even thinking about waiting for the full patch since I was planning on playing it once it finished anyways. But I downloaded it anyways and now I can finally play it now that the full patch is out!
I'm also excited about it since I always wanted to play one of these games ever since I knew about it! I had the app (and still do) of the first and only officially translated game of the series (it was the first game as well). Though Quinrose went bankrupt before I could buy any of the routes. So I'm happy to have this opportunity to me again! Also, "Anniversary no Kuni no Alice" is just a remade version of the first "Heart no Kuni no Alice" game (so the first game in the series). Also this seems to be the best version, which is probably why they choose to translate this one instead of the very first one or the other one. (They made quite a few remakes of the first game.)
Anyways, I'll be ending this post here! Please check out the project and hopefully download it and play it! It's completely free and I highly recommend it! Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

Let's Celebrate! +Uta no Prince-Sama 8th Year Anniversary!
Hello! Welcome back to another post! This post today is completely dedicated to the "Uta no Prince-Sama" series! You may ask why if you haven't read the title. But today June 24th. Marks "Uta no Prince-Sama"s 8th Year Anniversary! Back in 2010 the first Utapri game got released, and man has it evolved!
Even though this is my second year being into Utapri, it has definitely made a huge impact on me. I love the series and all of the characters to death! I have either made or mentioned Utapri quite a bit in some of my blog posts. Sometimes I even talk about upcoming things that are going on for them! Though I do really want all of you who read my blog to know how much I truly enjoy and love Utapri!
In fact I don't think I really spoke of this on my blog, but I write fanfictions on Wattpad as well. Though it's only one fanfiction book and it's for Utapri. It's a oneshot book, but I really enjoy writing and since I read so much Utapri fanfictions I gave it my go. I honestly don't think I'll write any fanfictions for any other series or fandom besides Utapri.
Honestly I have so many feelings for Utapri that it's just hard to put into words sometimes. I just want to thank Broccoli and Agematsu and everyone who helped made Utapri and of course the fanbase for making it so huge and important! I will continue my Utapri journey for forever it seems. Though I'm happy with that and I will always support and cherish them. I'm also pretty sure there is so many other things that I want to say, but this is all I can think of in my mess of overflowing feelings for this series.
Thank you all for reading this and I'll talk to you all, next time.
~~Happy 8th Year Anniversary Utapri!~~
~~Let's Continue This Journey Together Forever!~~

A Randomized Recommendation! +Varieties
Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about having variety in your otome life. Since normally we always have a favorite stereotype and genre and everything in between. Though it's also nice to choose and go with different things sometimes as well. Though I would have to say that I guess it is more based on reluctantness towards things. Due to the fact that most of us otome players just play everything that we can get our hands on. Though we do get pumped up about things were attracted to/like.
So practically I guess it is more on reluctance. Though sometimes that can also lead you to not play a game as well. Obviously though if you play a game and quit it because you truly disliked it and it didn't live up then that is honestly fine. It's more like at least you tried it. That's more like what I'm talking about in a way. So just try new things when you can I guess is what I'm getting at?
Even though I finished up the main part of the blog in practically two small parts. I would like to say that, I may or may not be updating the WHOLE blog. I want to add and change a few things, and once you see it change then expect me to write a post about everything for it! I've been thinking about doing this for quite some time now, but I've been to busy. So hopefully this will be put into effect either this week or these few weeks to come!
So make sure to keep your eyes out and open for it! Also if you would like any changes in fonts or something that I use then please say so! (I'm planning on changing them anyways.) On another note though, I'll talk to you guys later!

No Sort of Favorite Dessert! +Having No Favorites
Hello! Welcome back to another post! I do want to quickly mention that Natsuki Shinomiya and Syo Kurusu's birthday was yesterday! So happy (belated) birthday to them~! (As well as Kaoru & Satsuki~!) Another quick thing I want to mention is that for a few weeks now I have "Search This Blog" gadget now! So if you want to search for a certain game or talk then you can now search the keyword(s) in instead of going through all of my years and months trying to find what you are looking for. It is a better and easier way as all the posts of me mentioning it or talking about it will all appear there for you. So use it as you please!
Now onto the main topic! In this post I'll be talking about how I just don't really have any favorites in characters or games. Now obviously I'm not going to lie that I may feel more attracted to certain characters or may like one a bit better. But I can never say that I have any favorites. I thought about it and really tried to think as to why. In the end I only came up with one thing.
This is being that there is no reason for me to not like them or really anything of the sort. Normally in otome games I tend to like every route I play for the most part in some way or another. So as long as I like it to some length then they are fine and lovable in my book.
There are probably other reasons that I'm just probably oblivious to. Though it's also kinda hard for me to put into words, it's just this feeling I guess? I just don't find a reason to have a favorite? Though not having a favorite or favorites does make it hard in some/certain fandoms. Though for me it's easy to get over since it makes me happy to love all equally. Personally speaking though I do hope that some other people feel the same way I do. I would also love to hear who your favorites are in some games and how you feel about having favorites or not. Or else I'll talk to you guys later!

What's A Sweet You're Addicted To? +Obsessions!
Hello! Welcome back to another post! Before I start off this post I would like to mention that a otome company called SEPTENI CROSSGATE CO.,LTD. is release a otome game in English called "Wiz;Alice"! Down below I'll have a link to the website, but it's another "Alice in Wonderland" themed game! Honestly this makes me extremely happy since I love this sort of theme a lot! It also includes voice acting as well! I don't know if it is partial or not, though so far it seems like it is full. Also apparently there will also be English voices as well beside from their Japanese ones. Though I have no idea if you can choose if you which voice you want. Though I'm happy about this and am excited for its release! (Note that this game will also be out on mobile! Both Google Play and App Store!)
Talking about how much I love "Alice in Wonderland" though, this is the perfect way to open about what I'll be talking about in this post! Obsessions! More like otome obsessions though, to go with the blog of course. What I also mean by this is that normally you have things in otome games that you can never get tired of/stop loving right? Or something that instantly attracts you to a character no matter how many times you see it in an otome game. Like how something I never get tired of and instantly attracts me to otome games are the "Alice in Wonderland" theme/base of the game. I talk about "Alice in Wonderland" multiple times before on this blog, so if you read my blog often then you will know how much I love it. (Honestly I should just make a blog post of every "Alice in Wonderland" otome thing I know. Actually wait, I'll do that.)
Though I find it also obvious if you look at the theme/background of my blog page. I'm just saying that everyone has something that they love and obsess over in otome games. It could be a certain stereotype or theme, or an odd habit as well. It all just depends on you as the player/reader. So I would love to know one thing that you obsess over in otome games! I gave you one of mind, also without any shame. With this I bid you all farewell, and I'll talk to you guys later!
