[I]Is it possible to rewrite? For that girl, it is her fate

I would have thought this was:
"Her fate - can it truly be rewritten?"

[Asceai]

boggart's translation was just literal to the point of being misleading. It implies that it is the girl's fate to rewrite, when in fact it is her fate that is being rewritten.

I've just reproduced Klashi's translation over at Animesuki. I didn't actually proofread it... lol... maybe I should have. :P

This'll either be awesome or a clusterfuck.

If the translation went literal, it would've been more like "Is it possible to rewrite? Her fate..." The を trailing the phrase would've precluded the type of declarative statement the original translation had.
And it's not specifically "Direction." Itaru is in charge of the Original Planning and Character Designs.

Yeah, I had noticed that. I kinda prefer NaGa's designs though. But, I suppose it's going to be awesome either way.

As someone with a style that is often described as strongly leaning towards the literalism side of the spectrum, I'd like it if "literal translation" wasn't associated with "just flat out wrong/bad translation."

You just know Maeda Jun would hijack it midway through and make it into an epic BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWfest :3

PS I am joking :3

I also prefer Na-Ga's design over Itaru's. It will definitely be interesting to see what these scenario writers will do with this project.

I know I'm already looking forward to it-Great Art, Great Music, Great Scenario writers...It's like an All-stars team.

Looks like Keys got a double hit on my wallet with LB-EX and this. At least it will take a good bit before they finish it.^^;

Have a wallpaper y'all. I didn't take the staff off though (I don't have exactly photoshop) And despite the crappy thumbnail no it is not all boring green on the left XP.

I can give you all components of the actual picture separately if you really want it. :p That way, the credits down the bottom needn't be there if you wish.

I don't know why but...this screams out "BUY ME!" louder than Little Busters or its EX version does. I'm fired up for information as it comes
