They said “Spring 2016.” That could mean May if we’re unlucky.

I’m more thinking “if we’re lucky” at this point, heh…

Just so I can get a sense of what we’re dealing with, what was the biggest delay key ever had?
Longest that comes to my mind is prolly Clannad, which was supposed to release on 2002 but got delayed till 2004.
Angel Beats! -1st beat- actually. It was planned since 2010. Was suppose to come out in 2013, then in 2014. Came out in 2015, but was delayed 1 more month too.
Nah, there was never an actual delay for the Angel Beats VN until spring 2014. That was the original release estimate. Over a year is still a pretty long delay though.

Just noticed something interesting. The flyer distributed at Anime Central provides a plot summary.
I dunno if it’s something I’ve just missed all this time, but I don’t remember hearing anything about a “Shadow approaching the town” before now. Is this news to anyone else? Could suggest some kind of external source of conflict.
That is new, but it doesn’t really say much. I guess we can speculate that there is an actual antagonist rather than just fate/other force of nature.

Shiona gives Rei his name ? That’s interesting.
What’s the meaning behind “Rei” ?
And a shadow ? Well this is gonna be interesting.
Without any context its kinda just guessing, but from personal knowledge, “Rei” could mean a few things:
- In numerous languages, most notably Portuguese, Rei means “king”. You’ll also see it as Rey in other languages.
- In Latin rei is a form of the noun that means “thing”.
- A “ray” is a beam of light.
Then there are lots of Japanese meanings of れい or レイ, so I wont even go into those without context from the story.
So without anything but the short summaries that we’ve gotten, the “thing” meaning kinda makes sense. Although, with this new “dark shadow” bit, that makes me think of a “ray of light”, but that is definitely going into “stretching it” territory.

Some easy ones are 令 and 霊 meaning cold and zero respectively. They can both relate to his lack of emotions.

I’m gonna hope for a dual English/Japanese interpretation here. Cold/Zero contrasting Ray of Light makes for some really cool symbolism.
FYI, the official spelling is レイ in Katakana. Could that mean it’s intended to refer to the English ‘ray’?
All names are in katakana. It’s probably more of an atmospheric thing.

Harmonia has been delayed, yet again.
I don’t know how I feel about a kinetic visual novel being delayed… Again…
I hope this doesn’t drag on too long
I bet its delayed to summer so people will buy Rewrite+, Planetarian, and Harmonia in one-go. Plus Tomoyo After for the west.
Well, if it’s not finished yet or they’re just not satisfied with the quality, there’s nothing we can do about it. I would rather wait some more month and the vn turns out good than to get it now in a bad quality.

Harmonia has gone gold! This is not a drill.

So, Harmonia is now only $9.99 now. I wonder why they decided to drop the price. And considering the Tomoyo After soundtrack got on sale on steam, I hope the Harmonia soundtrack does too. Both Ryo and Shinji are credited for the music. It’s just too good to be true :minaamor:
With Rewrite+, LB, and AB! -1st- coming out in English soon too, it’s just too good to be true. If only someone would translate Farewell, Our’s though.

I’d like to believe that it’s about the product being a digital copy rather than a physical copy, not to mention the cost of living in the US compared to Japan. On a side note, you’d actually be surprised that the prices in Steam are much lower here in my country. :>
