Author’s Note: Thanks to everyone that helped vote for Muv-Luv in the poll last week. We’ve solidified our position in the top 4 as a result and Baka-Tsuki has already started picking up some of the much wanted side story TL’s as well! I can’t thank you guys enough! Good alternative way to into Muv-Luv saga for anyone can't understand moonrunes, the minus point is that the translation doesn't so well at some point, sigh, i want english patch for the game or mangagamer export this series like they did with Higurashi.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I just discovered Fuwanovel and am completely new to the whole visual novel scene. I did a bit of research after watching White Album 2 (anime), and was extremely happy to discover that the anime was based on a visual novel and that there's a game out there just waiting to be played! I absolutely loved the anime, drama and tension, and really really really want to play the VN, however I have no idea as to where I should begin. I don't even know where I should download the game from and where to get/how to add an translation English patch. Welcome and may you have a good time.there is of course the mentors program.If i were to give some recommendations of novels that are translated these would be it.Most of these would also be good as for starters except for the Muv Luv series as the first two really are not that great.Fate/stay night is a must play. It is nothing like the anime thing that carries its name.
(well we do now in the unlimited blade works adaption)And we just have a new patch that has translated the realta nua version of the game. (wich is an all ages game so it does away with the H stuff and replaces it by something else)Tsukihime Another must play, and no this one does not have a anime adaption.(it is ancient, got no voice and no music. But it is so good)Muv Luv series, now Muv Luv extra is not that good and Unlimited is merely good but alternative is definitly a must read and to understand it completely you need to have read these two first.(I so hope muv luv alternative get's an anime adaption at some point)(extra/unlimited) yes they are packed into one game(alternative)g senjou maou Is also a must read.clannad is also a must read and is together with fate/stay night one of the vn flagships, muv luv can possible also be considered a flagship.Other than that there is Grisaia no Kajitsu wich is also a must read. (By the way, no panty shots in this one, just sex jokes by amane instead).As for a few good anime: (just me rambling on)Aria the animation:Crest of the stars.
