Majikoi A-4 Translated:

At last, the first good visual novel of the year has been released.  A-4 can be found at nyaa.si, like all good things.

The latest episode of Shiroi Suna no Aquatope blew the latest Evangelion movie out of the water.  There's a huge gulf between good and great and this contrast really made that clear.  Shiroi Suna is anime's real potential, Evangelion is nothing but nonsense.  Meaningless terms thrown around in a jumbled world of surreal imagery and a plot where no two parts connect in any way.

Apparently A-4 is quite short, which then begs the question why it's taken so long to get translated, but whatever.  I'll take anything at this point.  A-5 is already partially translated so hopefully the rest will be completed soon, and then the entirety of Majikoi A will be available.

I loved Majikoi and Majikoi S, but Majikoi A is actually the best of the trilogy.  Sayaka Mayuzumi and Cookie 4IS are the best girls in the series and they were only introduced in A.  I have high hopes for A-4 and A-5 as a result.

If a flood of visual novels are released at the end of the year 2021 can still be salvaged despite all the covid reverberations.  Let this be the start of a trend.
