It's a Winter nakige with a similar vibe and quality to Key's older nakige like Air and Kanon.

You can discuss the VN if you've read it, or share your thoughts and reactions as you experience it.

105. Danmachi S2 (Rewatch)

As I remembered, not as good as the first season. Still solid on the whole, but the arcs are weaker, and it kneecaps the message of the 2nd arc right at the end.

7/10
104. Danmachi S1 (Rewatch)

This was actually one of the first few anime I ever watched, back in 2015 when I was in my SAO phase.

Half rewatching it for nostalgia, half because I never watched S4, which I hear is peak.

Solid first season, enjoyed the characters & fights.

also the jasmine pv was so peak, I need more
Almost been a year since the new Utawarerumono game was announced, surprised Aquaplus still hasn't released the opening movie. They showed it in full at the Aquaplus 30th anniversary event, it wasn't a work in progress or anything.
Surely this means it's going to be released simultaneously in Japanese and Chinese right?

And if they're doing a Chinese simul-release, very high chance they're doing an English one too.
Also pretty glad they're doing sub-routes for seemingly every side character and we won't get an Anemoi+ in a few years, much prefer them to be one and done.
Very excited for the sub-routes for the male side characters in anemoi.

It's extremely rare for Key to do them (only been in Clannad & Angel Beats 1st Beat), I feel like there's a lot they could do with them.

103. Harmonic Reflections

Great to be able to read this with a proper EN TL now.

It's fairly good, not Laplacian's strongest in any area, but it comes together well at the end. Would have liked an epilogue as it ends fairly abruptly. Also i dislike the AI-assisted BGs...

The new translation for Kioku no Kenban is out

It fully replaces the original AI-based TL. Earlier, Laplacian also promised to never use AI TL again

An adaptation of a LN by Ono Wasabi (Hakuchuumu no Aojashin). A love triangle story about a girl who claims to know the future
still got the kanji when you go to buy it though lol
Only a few days until Loopers Plus releases, feels like it's come up quite quickly since it got a date.

Though also it's somehow had a 2+ year dev cycle all to add maybe an hour or two of new content. Not sure how that worked out, maybe they put it on the back burner for ages.
15th anniversary event not just a concert
Aquaplus announced a White Album 2 15th anniversary concert on 22nd Feb 2026, at the end of the concert rebroadcast that just finished.

Another place to cope for a Steam port announcement...
It's also the only VN ever where Jun Maeda was the main composer, he made some great songs for it.

Third disc of the OST is an entire vocal arrange album with Haruka Shimotsuki doing the vocals, really cool stuff.

Thinking about 5 Five again, it's a shame it never got much love.

Released in 2008, never got a re-release in Japan, or even a digital release, and it's never had an EN fan-tl.

It's a great Winter utsuge that draws on Ainu mythology, helmed by Kai, who's worked on most Key VNs.
Visual Arts English twitter account still has Angel Beats 1st beat in its banner lol, I wonder if they'll ever change it.
I do not know how people beat songs in expert mode in Heaven Burns Red Gig Mode, I can barely beat Hard, Expert just seems impossible.

Anemoi Prologue Party on Saturday, holding out hope they'll release the trial during it, but might be a bit early.

They still haven't released the Kousai Toshi trial, which is meant to release for real in a month.
