Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

It was recently leaked that Dies Irae will be coming out in English. There will be a Kickstarter.

The leak was (as people have said on twitter) hilariously the second of two leaks, the first of which was during a nicovideo nama

I'm glad it's getting looked into since I'd love to play it in English, but it's so weird how Light hasn't mentioned this in any capacity that'd catch their new consumer base's attention at all.

(I'm looking forward to the Kickstarter, I just think it's funny there's been no English news about it whatsoever outside of from people who speak English and happen to be following relevant Twitters)

I'm not super familiar with Dies Irae, but how well-known is it throughout the west? I've seen some hardcore VN fans hype it up, but is the game Clannad levels of insane popularity and devotion or at least as popular as Grisaia?

As cool as Dies Irae looks, I'm a little worried about the KS possibly failing since there's no anime to help spread the word about the game (therefore making it pretty niche) and Kickstarter/IndieGoGo fatigue is already kicking in for a lot of people in the VN fandom at this point.

It's mostly well-known because a few people (mistakenly) hyped it up as super chuuni and other people have called it difficult to read because of some peculiarities in the writer's style, it's a total meme game. For a while if you went on /jp/ for easy recommendations it'd always come up as a troll rec; it's that kind of popularity. I don't know if I'd say it's as popular as either of those, more that hearsay has it a little inflated - it's actually mostly solid, mind, just not for any of those reasons. When it boils down to it I'd call it niche.

There is going to be an anime, but it'll start airing next year at the earliest, so the crowdfunding is sort of weirdly timed...

it's fairly well-known, but the difference is clannad and grisaia already had english releases. dies irae doesn't.

We now have news from Light in English.
