Hello, Goodbye Completed:

The fact that I could play this visual novel to 100% completion is more a testament to the lack of good visual novels left to play than its own quality.  Nevertheless, it was good enough to play in full.  Some excellent art, music and voice acting were employed for this game, but the plot was terrible, for each and every route.

Only desperation and a lot of free time should convince you to play Hello, Goodbye.

Why can't people translate good visual novels like Rewrite Harvest Festa, Kud Wafter or Summer Pockets made by the legendary company key?  Why on Earth would Hello, Goodbye receive a higher priority?  Who are these translators and why do they make the decisions they do?

It's always a mystery.

So what's next?  Outbreak Company volume 9 comes out on the 16th, SAO Progressive 6 on the 18th, and Btooom! volume 25 as well.  The Women's World Cup starts on the 7th.  Between the 4 and Dragon Quest XI June should work out favorably.

I also replaced the Long Ring Island arc from One Piece with the corresponding One Pace version, since it was so filler plagued in the original.  This reduced the size of One Piece by another 4 episodes.  The sleeker this series becomes the higher its quality will rise.
