The long awaited White Album 2 Valentines Day thread is here, feel free to come here to say something nice about Setsuna and wish her a happy birthday.
Anyone think Setsuna totally steals this song from Yuki?
Good shout
Ian Price
So, I feel I woefully laid out instructions to installing the VN, all I'll say is if anyone neeeds helpat any step post here and we'll see what I and others can do to help.
Parker Roberts
>long awaited
Brayden Perez
Happy birthday, Setsuna. Even though I love Kazusa, I can't help but admire Setsuna too.
Jace Martinez
Yeah, I'm a Kazusa guy too but I think I'll post all Setsuna pics for a while.
honestly good to see you back. :3
Julian Parker
And as good as the Kazusa Vocal tracks are in the OP, she can't touch Setsuna on vocals.
Tyler Turner
nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=885021 This was just the most heartwarming thing I've heard. Hearing Kazusa happy in love really melts my heart.
Kayden Sanchez
reminder that Setsuna lost.
Cameron Brooks
Happy birthday.
Jace Scott
>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.
Everyone lost.
Tyler Ward
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.
Daniel Adams
>tfw can't understand nip Just listen to the last two minutes. You don't need to understand nip to feel it. >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. Well, the adaptation handled the first half pretty good.
James King
He should've just married them both, would've saved a world of a melodramatic headache
Aiden Brooks
Well, one thing I think that sets this apart from most other love triangles is that Kazusa's and Setsuna's relationship is just as important as how they felt about the boy in the traingle.
Chase Parker
It doesn't work like that and you know it.
Jason Brooks
Word on the last thread was that the ultimate ending was Haruki marries Kazusa in the room she first kissed him in, the Piano room.
It sounded fucking amazing.
Evan Ward
Yep, their friendship is a real thing. These four months they were together would influence their lives for the next six years at least. >Why does someone who knows nothing talk about just me and Haruki-kun? >Why does someone who doesn't know about us three talk about us two?
Lincoln Lewis
5 fucking times? I must be old because I'd have to wait ages to do that.
This is important, it explains a lot of Setsuna's actions and thought processes and also why Kazusa couldn't be with HAruki nom atter what, Setsuna was like a sister to her.
Joseph Martin
Marriage does happen in both Setsuna True and Kazusa True, but he most certainly meant something like 'why not both', which would never work.
Chase Wright
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.
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.
>setsuna thread
Kevin Taylor
>5 fucking times? He had a hard time in that onsen, seeing both girls naked (and a little bit drunk), sleeping in the next room and longing for both of them.
Jace Kelly
Kazusa is best girl. But so is Setsuna.
Damn.
Jaxson King
>do any of them enable auto-read like VN does automatically at certain points? No, you can enable auto-read in settings menu. >And what is that white tag icon that keeps popping up on the lower left. Dunno.
Ayden Reed
Doesn't that just set the speed of the auto read itself? If not, how do I turn it on' I don't see that option anywhere.
Bentley Rodriguez
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?
Eli Rivera
>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' 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.
Jonathan Foster
Switch Skip Mode to All.
Julian Martinez
I love this fucking series, this is why only watching the anime doesn't cut it anymore.
Alexander Williams
>Are they any good? They are all great characters. But only choosing Setsuna gets you to Coda.
Colton Flores
Is Touma in CC at all?
Dylan Nguyen
No. She is still an important part of CC though.
Jack Sullivan
This is exactly the reason why so many people learn nihongo to read CC and Coda. Even though this story sometimes hurts so much, I'm still attracted to it and I can't explain why.
Pretty much everyone. Being Kazusafag doesn't stop you from liking Setsuna too.
Jacob Kelly
...
Jeremiah Ross
Yes.
Leo Jenkins
I love the way she dresses.
Owen Watson
She is a poor version of Setsuna though. She is just a dumb kind girl with good social skills, while Setsuna is a tactical genius, an angel and a devil in one person. baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=White_Album_2_Omake/Story02 Just appreciate her way of thinking.
Eli Hughes
I liked her Closing and White Album versions. Powder Snow is terrible though.
Charles Russell
What is white album never heard of it?
Parker Gutierrez
It's a shame that adaptation ignored all those remarks. It made Setsuna look plainer and the viewer couldn't understand what Haruki was thinking.
Isaac Perry
I don't like WA 1 version of this song at all. So, yeah.
Adrian Collins
She made Setsuna route for me in CC. Great girl, right.
Levi Rivera
I've never seen WA1.
Is the difference in quality between it and WA2 so large?
Blake Lewis
Setsuna's birthday was Valentine's Day? I never knew
Depends on the route But it's true
Adam Phillips
All that teasing from Setsuna was great.
Gavin Lopez
It's a matter of taste, actually. There is people who love WA1. But WA1 is a harem with very vague ending, so i don't really like it.
Jace Jenkins
>Is the difference in quality between it and WA2 so large? WA2 is a beautiful love story. WA1 is like School Days without headcutting and stuff.
I nearly got a heart attack when they retweeted that Nakamura's post today after years of inactivity.
Also happy birthday, Setsuna. You're the best.
Wyatt Martinez
Why did they suddenly decide to post it? There already have been 3 Setsuna's birthdays since anime aired.
Aiden Wood
There's been surprisingly much WA2 activity recently. Mini Drama, Kazusa vocal collection, now this Coda novel. What did they mean by this?
Isaac Nelson
>sou da na...sou da na~ My fucking kokoro.
Adam Taylor
Just a reminder that Setsuna was betrayed on her birthday. Twice.
Bentley Ward
Maybe it's time to adapt CC+Coda, once the director is done with Kuzu no Honkai.
Evan Edwards
I'm sure it's not happening. But it doesn't prevent me from hoping.
Evan Brown
>feel free to come here to say something nice about Setsuna and wish her a happy birthday I hope her family disowns her and the rest of the world sees what a horrible person she really is. She manipulated & exploited her closest friends making them waste the best years of their life in anguish.
Jeremiah Sullivan
Toradora > WA2
Ethan Wood
Who exactly did she manipulate?
Nolan Cox
at least compare it to oregairu or something
Grayson Carter
Her mother foresaw it!
Dylan Torres
Still better girl than your waifu
Blake Gonzalez
I fucking hate Setsuna. I'm happy that shit happened to her.
Eli Campbell
It's because you are anime-only.
Lucas Carter
How faithful is this translation and how far is it translated?
Brody Foster
I'm anime only for now too and I love her. But she deserves better boyfriend.
Charles Jenkins
>implying I'll spend even more time reading about the cluster fuck melodramatic love triangle of a shitty MC 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.
Kevin Watson
>How faithful is this translation 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.
Matthew Young
They bring out the worst out of each other. It doesn't help his friends are a bunch of bitches except for sideburns bro. >WHAT DID YOU SAY SIDEBURNS ABOUT LIKING KAZUSA INSTEAD OF SETSUNA? YOU DON'T SAY THAT STUFF MAN >d-don't do that y-you already have setsuna. don't be like me the super popular guy Fucking eggshells man. If they were actually good friends he would've supported his decision regardless, suggest alternatives, and consulted with the two girls. It wouldn't have ended in such a mess. But no, they decide to get pissed at him for even trying to question his decisions.
Austin Wilson
They are also Setsuna's friends though. They support her. And they are really great friends.
Christopher Jones
I'd just remind that even Takeya the Womanizer rejects the girl the second she badmouths Haruki for no reason.
Nolan Miller
...
Levi Campbell
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.
Wyatt Hall
That's exactly because you're anime-only you don't understand a thing about Haruki.
Noah Walker
>The very same friends who becomes suddenly antagonistic when you make a bad decision. They never were antagonistic.
Ethan Howard
Happy birthday, Setsuna.
Adam Brown
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.
Adrian Foster
He is not indecisive though.
Alexander Allen
#deathtoSetsuna2017
Hudson Davis
This novel is really made for reading several times. She actually WOULD always look for Haruki's seat during her concerts.
Jayden Roberts
happy birthday, Satsuna!
Gavin Hughes
Haruki: "What are you doing? do you know what time is it?" Kazusa: "... what happened to your face?" Haruki: "Answer my question first, I was the first to make one." Kasuza: "...I was waiting for you in your room, and because you were pretty late in coming back, and your phone was turned off..." Haruki: "Ah, I turned it off, sorry" Kazusa: "I decided to wait outside for a bit, then walked to the station to try to meet you, and thought that maybe I missed you on the way, and hurried back. I couldn't sleep since you weren't coming back, so I decided to wait awake, and repeated the first step. I think I repeated the whole process like 5 times?"
Isaiah Campbell
Haruki: I'll stay at your side no matter what. Even if I have to abandon everything else. Kazusa:... you're not being serious Haruki: .... Kazusa: don't tease me like that Kazusa: even though I know you're lying, I still believe it a little, and it makes me sad Haruki: Do you hate the idea of being with me sad? Do you dislike the idea of being with me that much? kazusa: Idiot! don't misunderstand things on purpose! I hate when you do that! haruki: sorry Kazusa: it's like waking up from a dream, and getting sad because of something you can never have haruki: Kazusa... Kazusa: don't talk about impossible dreams, there's a limit to cruelty Haruki: unfortunately, you're off the mark Kazusa: Eh? Haruki: I'm not lying, and I'm not teasing you either Haruki: I'll really stay with you no matter what from now on, no matter where you go. Even if that place is Vienna Kazusa: !? Haruki: The pianist Kazusa Touma, or just the regular Japanese Kazusa Touma, I don't care which one. Haruki: I'll support you from now on, I'll live for your sake from now on Kazusa: haruki... you... are you........ insane?
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
Kazusa: if you grant my wish, you'll have to leave someone else's dream behind... Haruki: I'm fine even if I have to leave Japan, leaving overseas might be harsh at first, but I have confidence I'll manage to get a job Kazusa: I don't mean that...! Haruki: Don't worry about my family, they never cared much about me in the first place Kazusa: I don't mean that, you're pretending to misunderstand thing again! haruki: yeah... Kazusa: What about... Setsuna? haruki: .... kazusa: you... no way.... are you serious?
Jordan Miller
Haruki: I'll save the one most important person in the world to me, that's why I decided. Kazusa: i-idiot! Haruki: right now, that probably right Kazusa: *crying sounds* that's... don't do it... haruki... haruki: Kazusa... Kazusa: if you say more, I won't ever be able to live without you... Haruki: uh... if you say that, it only makes me want to protect you harder... Kazusa: *crying* so... sorry 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.
-scene cuts, Kazusa is now in the airport, the announcer says in the voicespeaker that the plane to Vienna is about to leave- Later we see a plane taking off.
Jace Sanders
Haruki gets of the train, and when he's leaving the station, he finds Kazusa standing there. Kazusa:.........yo Haruki: ah... Kazusa: it's been a week, how are you doing? Haruki: the same to you... Kazusa: me? or course I'm not doing well, because of that horrible choice you gave me, I thought I'd get sick and end up in the hospital Haruki: that's... Kazusa: what's with that face? don't tell me you already regreted what you said to me? Haruki: I wouldn't... Kazusa: if you regreted, that'd be only natural... Kazusa: I thought pretty hard about that choice, it'd be weird if I didn't... Haruki: and your answer is...? KAzusa: .... 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? Haruki: that's... Kazusa: you know why, that I know what day is today, that there's a place you must definitely go today. Haruki: ...
Camden Scott
Kazusa: Haruki... you're going to Setsuna's birthday party, am i wrong? 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. Haruki: I wouldn't... Kazusa: I know how you are, you'll doubt again Kazusa: ...but I'll put an end to that. haruki: eh? Kazusa: I hurried from the airport, by car, by taxi, and even running here to meet you, and I barely made it. Kazusa: i came here to stop you. Haruki: Kazusa...? Kazusa: don't meet Setsuna anymore... Haruki... betray Setsuna... and choose me. Please... stay always by side... Haruki: are you sure? Kazusa: I love you
Adam Thompson
>Kazusa: don't meet Setsuna anymore... Haruki... betray Setsuna... and choose me. Please... stay always by side... FUGG
Daniel Davis
Haruki and Setsuna are already engaged at this point. And yeah, this scene happens on February 14. Once again.
Ryan Price
Why would he go so far with her if he didnt love her
