Will AI technology be the guillotine that kill the hentai industry?
I don't think so. If anything, it could even save the anime side of it. Hentai anime has been steadily declining in length and animation quality, but if things get to the point where all you need are keyframes and a computer can handle the rest, it would make everything a lot cheaper and easier to produce.

How are you doing man? Hope everything is going well irl
I'm fairly busy. Not as busy as I'd feared, but still enough to be annoying. Also, my arm is currently in a sling, because I'm a man of nonstop action, and I literally went to bed so hard that I pulled a muscle.

Hey rattan. Im an excentric millionaire. It seems my retard dad suddenly has campaign money left over and I figured I might as well spend it on something cool. I'm willing to offer you 5 cents per character. You will have to live in the basement of my luxurious mansion. You will get a room and food 3 times a day, and a maid will suck you dry once a week. Once in a while I might show my guests my basement porno translation troll, they get to point and laugh at your misshapen form and throw half-eaten spareribs at you. Is that cool?
Throw in a stack of blank executive orders, and you've got yourself a deal. I have a sudden urge to nuke Connecticut.

I was wondering.
Do you like have a commission fee?
I want to translate 【デモムービー】é”法少女フェアリーナイツ or Magical Girl Fairy Knights.
I only have a requests list. I don’t currently do commissions. I believe the industry standard rate for VN work is 1 or 2 cents per character, which would run you a bill of well over a thousand dollars, even for a short game. In fact, I just did an approximate word count on the script for that game, and it came to 430 000 characters. So, if I were to charge even half a cent per character, a game that long would cost $2150. Unless you’re so rich that you can afford to throw money around like that, it wouldn’t be worth it.
I won’t say that game is high on my requests list, but since it looks like I may be juggling VNs with gacha for a while, I have considered picking a number of the shorter titles. It's possible that some of the early-ish Lilith games like that could work their way into contention.

Which Lilith game do you feel has the worst story?
The answer to that can change depending on what metric you're using. Tsuma Netori has a dull story, but that's because it's a pretty standard netori plot set in an unremarkably ordinary modern day situation. By those standards, it's not bad, just disappointingly average. TA2 could qualify—especially the original version, where they set the Taimanin universe up to be an intriguing world of international politics and espionage, and then threw that all away so they could have constant boring tentacle scenes.
On a similar basis, I think the KS1 story is the worst of all the games I've played, as not only does it not have much of a plot, but what plot it does have is poorly executed. Despite the game taking place over a limited time period, where both the brainwashing progress and the antagonists' suspicion should be constantly shown to be growing, there is one point where an entire day passes without any events, plot progression, dialogue, or even establishing shots. As I recall, it literally just fades out from the Captain's office and then fades back in. At least do a scene of some kind, to give a feeling for the progression of time.

What is more important in a visual novel, the story or the h-scenes?
Story is usually what distinguishes games from each other. Scenes on their own can start to all feel the same. Even if you look at TA1 (which has a very thin and basic plot), the best moment in the game is not any of the scenes, but the reveal that Sakura has been Oboro's chair all along. In Bible Black, you might get a lot of fetishistic content, but the best part of it is the way that you can experiment with being good or evil, and switch midway through. Compare that with Discipline, which may have very similar kinds of content, but has an absolutely shit story, and is therefore incredibly boring to play.
Anonymous asked:
Have you read any manga that aren’t hentai?
Not many. I don't particularly read manga. The only one I've read through to completion in the last decade was Love Stage, and that was practically hentai at times. It also had one of the stupidest soap opera plots I've ever seen.

How old do you think Hebiko is?
They're never going to tell you, because most characters are underage. I believe I'm right in saying that with the modern Gosha uniforms, school year is differentiated by tie colour, so she's in the same year as Yukikaze. I've worked out previously that the ages specified in the old April Fools magical girl images are most likely correct, which would make Yukikaze 16, and Hebiko somewhere around that age, give or take a few months.
