JAST has announced that an uncensored English language version of top interactive yandere ero-anime School Days HQ.
The original game went on to spawn a popular (if inexcusably buggy) eroge/anime franchise known for its eccentric blend of ero-anime action and yandere slaughter – it was later “remastered” into a higher quality format (and freed of the need for gigabytes of patches) with even more bloody endings to delight fans.
This version will form the basis for an official English language uncensored version – certainly the biggest announcement for both the English language eroge and ero-anime markets in some time.
Just what's with people saying it's gonna be dubbed? Nobody said they're gonna dub the thing. Just how did this rumor start? I mean when was the last English eroge release that got dubbed in English? Why would they start now? Use your common sense people, don't believe every rumor you hear.
I've played the Japanese language version (all those Japanese classes came in hella handy) of the buggy original game, and I always wanted to play the HQ version...
But now that it's coming out in America I don't have to toggle with my language settings and all that rot to make it work!
I just hope JAST does a good job, and hires decent actors.
...Though if the game is licensed, then will the anime eventually be, too?
All I hope is that if it does, FUNimation doesn't get its grubby Vic Mignogna-humping paws on it. They've killed enough of my favorite series with shit dubs as it is...
That's most likely how it will go down, like every other eroge I can think of. As for the anime, who knows if it will come out here. Too many references to fucking, but at least it has a little blood and violence to give it a fighting chance.
The group that was doing the translation patch for the old version is handling this, so unless JAST is giving them a voice acting budget it will probably just be original language with subs like pretty much every other voiced visual novel available in English ever.
*sigh* Yeeeaaah. I'm trying to hope! I loved the original School Days and the TV series so much, so I want the English version to not be shit!
...Okay, yeah. Going up shit creek without a paddle...but I still know that I'll own it anyway. Just like if they *EVER FUCKING RELEASE* Saya no Uta in the states. Even if the translation will probably be crap. >< (If it's in Japanese dialogue, I can at least skip the subtitles and just listen to the audio)
Haha I only lived there for about 6 years and moved to East Coast. But still, I had to adjust it so that I don't blurb out something like "dude that's hella gay" and embarrass myself.
They probably thought "English language" meant the voices, but I believe it only refers to the text, since I can't see any mention by JAST of voice acting, and it would be a huge cost for them to dub something like this.

The last eroge dubbed?
Clannad....if you did your homework...LOLz
Clannad is "NOT" an eroge. The Tomoyo after spin-off had the ero content.
What a HUGE NICE BOAT!
Uncensored FTW!!
clannad? an eroge?
you did the homework,
but you did it wrong
ell oh ell
dont speak up if you dont know what your talkin about IDIOT
FUCK. YES.
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN MARCH *A*

Hmm, couldn't they just translate it and keep the Japanese audio with subs :/

Come out = fansub? Or come out = adult swim release?
An official English language release with DVDs. Most things with official releases aren't shown on TV anyways. It's been fansubbed for years btw.
The group that was doing the translation patch for the old version is handling this, so unless JAST is giving them a voice acting budget it will probably just be original language with subs like pretty much every other voiced visual novel available in English ever.
If they release it with english subs and Japanese voice, I'm going to buy it for sure.
That's how JAST does its games. English text, japanese voice, uncensored graphics (well, almost always).
>JAST
Expect shit.
at least we'll have uncensored scenes :3
Remember it's America, expect some form of censoring, definitely after some bored politicos wanting sound bites to justify their salary.
If by uncensored you mean mosaic-less, most likely.
However, coming from JAST USA, I wouldn't be surprised if they ADD their own censoring to it.
Hey this man speaks the truth!
Seriously yeah. I bet someone'll take the uncensored scenes and add the JP audio.
*sigh* Yeeeaaah. I'm trying to hope! I loved the original School Days and the TV series so much, so I want the English version to not be shit!

I had your same reaction Jennifer, I can't wait to play this! It's great when awesome eroge get a release in English!
Also, can't wait to play Cross Days. For me there's obviously only one route for that one :D
Makoto + Guys?
HF....This is the notice of the year....
i can´t belive this.....@_@
PD...please-------i want subs.....with japanese voices...please.............
@Jennifer you didn't need to change any windows settings to play the original SD because it used its own engine.
Huhuhu you said "hella". My fellow NorCal friend.
XP I've always talked like that. Which is funny since I've lived in Texas a good portion of my life, and only lived in Cali for a few years.
Haha I only lived there for about 6 years and moved to East Coast. But still, I had to adjust it so that I don't blurb out something like "dude that's hella gay" and embarrass myself.
Eh Funi's not that bad >.>
lets hope they ONLY sub it and remove the censor
i dont care fer the non original cast
Forget School Days, bring my delicious Summer loli imouto Days already!
so school days doesn't have a loli in it?
Well, there's Setsuna who's loli-looking but she's a teen. Kokoro also appears but she's not... playable :p
Sekai's friend is petite but a high school student.
I'm going straight for Setsuna's path directly by the time I get this...
That last pic... someone beside those 2D girls is gonna suffer.
Master has arrived!
^That was me.
Nasty Safari logged me off.
Dubbed, eh?
I think I'll just stick with the Japanese version. (Hoping that Sekai Project doesn't drop their officially recognized patch.)
If they're dubbing it then they better have a option to switch the language or someone will need to make a voice patch...
They never said they were dubbing it.
Then.... WTH is Jigsy talking about...?and the other people?
They probably thought "English language" meant the voices, but I believe it only refers to the text, since I can't see any mention by JAST of voice acting, and it would be a huge cost for them to dub something like this.
I want my uncensored kodomo h games!!
NOW!!
That great news. I also want Yosuga no Sora to come stateside as well
~ Is there anyway I can be (even more) excited without betraying my cool exterior?
YES!! - YES!! - YES!!
also ~
If (in fact) a dubbed version is to be explored or attempted ~ only one thing can be said concerning that...
They better not fuck up my beloved - Kotonoha Katsura's - voice!!
: D Thought id see you in this thread deth :3
OH YEH,....uhmmmm,... yup they're gonna fuck up her voice for sure.
& DETH is gonna be reely pissed off.
I dont think they are dubbing it, just translating the text.
Hey dont forget about Demonbane is comeing out in two weeks or so that would ties us over till this game comes out...
Nice boat forever.
