Mugen Souls (PS3)

Do you guys think this game will get an artbook?
I love Takehito Harada's art, and I am kinda dying to see all of his art from this.
I think I have seen artbooks of other compile heart games while looking for artbooks for NIS games, so it should not be out of the question.

[Rednal]

I'd say there are mid-to-good odds that NISA's release will have some kind of artbook. o wo I dunno about what Japan's doing.

[Darcnova]

I think Shirogane will be fine. Ryuto is Chou-Chou's loyal vassal... I'm expecting a sort of "loyal, eager idiot" type.

Sounds about right...so yeah, they'll most likely be fine, especially looking at their track record for the personalities of both genders

[LAMV]

I wonder how Chou-Chou (I wish they went with ShuShu, it sounds and looks better imo) will treat Ryuto. Will it be the Etna tormenting and uncaring way? The tsundere way? Or will she consider him a genuine friend?

Probably depending on the personality, though I think that she always has the same lines, even in say...Tsundere mode, though I could be wrong

For the 305th time...chou chou reads JUST like 'shu shu'

It's not 'choo choo' like you may be thinking.

Then why not translate it as Shu Shu and just eliminate the confusion all together?

Probably because of those Shu Shu dolls from a long time ago...or because they are trying to keep to the original, which IIRC, was romanized as Chou-Chou

Well, that's stupid.

If you didn't know japanese, would it have made a difference either way?

[ZekeFreek]

If you didn't know japanese, would it have made a difference either way?

Yes. Because if I see "Shu Shu", it's pretty obvious how it's pronounced. Chou-Chou is just misleading, especially in English.

Shu Shu?

Shut up
Shu Shu

not seeing how this is working out >.>

You're too exposed to japanese to realize how the name can be twisted into something that sounds really dumb, but you can bet people would think as much.

[Darcnova]

Yup, I understand how it can be twisted to sound dumb

[ZekeFreek]

Yup, I understand how it can be twisted to sound dumb

Don't make it sound dumb then! Make it sound like Shu Shu and be spelled like Shu Shu.

There may even be more reasons behind the name. Have you taken into account that?
