Today May 12
is my wife Forte Stollen's Birthday

Thus I dedicate this thread to her
All Galaxy Angels are welcome

Together, or not together.

These are the last traces of those dreamlike days.

There was a guy here on /jp/ who's wife was Milfuelle and had a trip for it
And other guy who had Mint as his wife who used to post every valentines day in the /jp/ waifu collage

Wonder where those guys are now...
Haven't seen them in years

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!

Even in the 2010s, it was hard to make a Galaxy Angel thread on /jp/
The series was nearly a decade old then
But we still had a bunch of stragglers, and there was new translations coming out

But I guess now it's just straight up impossible

>>49406659 (OP)
I played through the first game pretty recently
It’s very fun seeing the differences between the Anime and Game versions of the characters - they still manage to feel like they could be the same person, but the gap is very noticeable too (except for Vanilla I guess).
Whereas i prefer Anime!Milfeulle and Game!Ranpha over their counterparts, I think Forte was pretty good in both - I don’t know which one I like better. The cleavage censorship got a bit silly though

My favourite is definitely Mint though. She’s clever in a very fun way, and her ears work great as a charm point.

>>49407524
Good choice, Mint's a very popular one

Yeah I think they do a good job conveying their personalities over both mediums, it's certainly a refreshing way to handle having both a VN and an anime.
The anime jokingly implies that there are hundreds of "Galaxy Angel" universes, so most figure that the game and anime take place in different ones.

>>49406659 (OP)
happy birthday to forte

Forte a cute

I'm a Milfeulle enjoyer but Forte is great too.
You can't really go wrong with any of them.

I love Forte Stollen

>>49418727
I LOVE FORTE STOLLEN

It seems to me that the "modern /jp/ poster" seems to know quite little about the Galaxy Angel Series
So I will educate them

Galaxy Angel, or Project G.A. is an early 2000's 2D Space Opera series that encompasses many forms of media. It's main cast and unifier is the Galaxy Angels, also known as the Moon Angel Wing or Angel-tai.

It is a large, multi-media series consisting of
- Over 3 Visual Novels with Real-Time Tactics gameplay (PC, PS2, Xbox)
- 4+ anime seasons and OVAs
- Manga
- Pachinko series
- Spinoff games for the Gameboy Advance, PC, & PS2
- Character Drama CDs
- Multiple music CDs/Albums
- Radio Broadcasts & Information shows
- Crossovers with Di Gi Charat
- Merchandise
- Even a Musical on Ice

The series was made by Broccoli, also known for their hit otaku series "Di Gi Charat" and their GAMERS otaku merchandise stores over Japan. It's a very 2000s Akihabara vibe.
While it may seem like an older series, Broccoli has still surprisingly sold new merchandise on their website seemingly even into the 2020s.
If you like Milky Holmes or Teekyu! I think you will like the anime and the Visual Novel is a fun and immersive space tactical strategy game in itself.

The visual novels have full english patches and you can easily watch the anime on DVD/BR or mainstream streaming services, so I hope you check it out!

A complete sub/dub of the first season is legally available on Youtube to watch by the original US copyright holders, Nozomi Entertainment

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrrh84y760v9juDJkEsiVkWAHvjue0mg6
Please watch!

Good work, schizo.

>>49419906
Show me the musical

this is a good thread
i hope for many more years of happiness to you & your wife

>>49421941
Thanks dude!

>>49421917
There were several musicals, you can get the main one on DVD

The musical on ice might actually be either an elaborate prank, or lost media

Extremely Rare Cat Forte (Official)

I recently finished playing every route in the original trilogy my favorite girls were Forte and Vanilla :)

>>49481588
Excellent taste, my friend

Vanilla happens to be my second favorite, she's quite cute
With Forte as my wife, Vanilla could be considered like a daughter of sorts
All the angels are special, regardless

>>49486131
That's true, there's not a single unlikable girl as far as I can tell. I do wish Chitose got a little more time to shine between both the games and the anime. I'd also like to check out the sequel games at some point as I don't really have a good reading on the characters from that. Whether they're eventually translated or if I learn enough nihongo to understand it.

>>49486325
The sequel continue the relationship you had in the first three games so it's worth a play for that alone. It's nice to get a continuation.

Galaxy Angel II only came out for the PS2 for some reason, so it's hard to translate. But you can manage with a screen capturer/aggregator if you hook up your PS2/TV and stream it to a computer and then use translation software. Not perfect but possible. I wish it was translated normally, but who knows.
Always a good reason to learn nihongo.

I hope that /jp/ comes to appreciate this series more in the future

>>49492496
Maybe if GAII ever gets translated.

>>49406659 (OP)
oh, hey! a Garakushi Angeru thread? on my jaypee?!
I renew my promise to play all games, even if they are braindead easy!
happy birthday 19 days late, Forte-san!

>>49492538
I certainly hope so one day
Still secretly hoping that Galaxy Angel and the Di Gi Charat VN gets an official english release

>>49496045
>I renew my promise to play all games
Please do!
Yes, they are quite easy, but still very memorable. And not only is it three games long, but the story still continues into the sequel games. Not many VNs like that (although if anyone knows any, please let me know), so it makes quite a lovely experience, especially if you are attached to the characters.

I deeply appreciate every and anyone who bumps and participates in Forte's & the Galaxy Angel Tai's thread
My internet isn't so good at the moment and sometimes I have to resort to clever methods to even post, and certain times if I have to use my phone, the public IPs are blocked so I can't post even if I want to. So my heart goes out to those who pick up my slack.
どうもありがとうございます！！

Today is Mint's birthday.
Happy birthday Mint!

>>49504006
really incredible this thread has 70 posts, and even with mint, no one mentioned "that woman". it gives me hope.

I should consider myself lucky that I have no clue who you're talking about.

Woah
Happy Birthday Mint!

I'm glad we were able to have TWO Galaxy Angel birthdays in this thread

>>49419906
>If you like Milky Holmes or Teekyu! I think you will like the anime
I've been curious about the anime for years but you have thoroughly convinced me never to try it.

>>49408715

we don't chitose around these parts, pardner

>>49509480

>>49406659 (OP)
How fortiudous.

Fucking braindead retard here, what advice is there for actually being able to run this game? I've managed to get a hold of all three games, Galaxy Angel, Eternal Lovers, and Moonlit Lovers, but attempting to run any of them results in frame rate going into the negatives on the main menu except for a brief period where I change which window is in focus, and the game suddenly runs at normal speed for all of a few frames - enough to select things in the main menu, and leave - but that's about it.
I haven't been super serious into trying something more because I've been killed by work, but was hoping to get the chance to play through this series at some point.

>>49509753
how about no?

I had similar luck running those. From my experience, I had the best results running the games windowed with compatibility mode for Windows XP enabled, typically on a fresh boot of my PC. Also, have you gone through the instructions regarding the first game from this pastebin?
https://pastebin.com/L8SRcgSN

>>49510106
I've had luck with dgvoodoo2. This thing is like magic for getting old games to run on modern Windows.

>>49504648
>"that woman"

My Strong Point

I miss this style of anime

>>49513139
Hmmmm, slightly sub optimal. Pic related.
Managed to get me from negative frame rate to around 5 or so FPS. Installing the directX also boosted it to 7.5-10 FPS, but still hasn't fixed the weird text issues cropping off a part of each line or the atatatatatatatat.
Windowed mode I gave up on cause it responds with a half dozen "?????????" error reports before failing to find the config file..

>>49513857
Might give that a try next.

>>49518233
Did you install the consolas font? I believe it came with the download for the first zip in the mega assuming that's where you got your copy
https://mega.nz/folder/octDzL7A#91hLngiOEo6YExHHgBmYaQ

>>49518313
Oh and one more tidbit. An anon from years ago discovered that entering the game settings and changing texture quality from 32bit to 16bit, saving, and setting it back to 32bit fixed their fps issues.

>>49513857
Well windows defender flagged voodoo as a trojan. Pretty sure that's a false positive but gonna do a bit of digging first.

>>49518313
Yep, looked it up in the font manager and checked in wordpad, it's definitely there.
It's been a bit, I don't think I grabbed it from the mega, but I'm definitely saving that link for later in case i brick the version i'm messing with. Pretty sure I spent ages waiting for the one seeder to finish the job some time ago.
>>49518364
Well, that didn't work, but what it DID do was change all the menu text to japanese. Because reasons.

>>49518563
Alright, Voodoo attempted. Seemed like the frame rate might've gone up to 11 FPS or I might just be losing my mind.
It did seem to run slightly smoother in the main menu, but the text and atatatatat is still turbo fucked. What's worse, is that it lags a ton to bring up every single text pane, to the point that it's a solid 10-30 seconds before the first text is able to properly display.
I also feel like closing the game takes longer with each passing attempt.

Onto figuring out how to set up a virtual machine, then.

>>49518563
>what it DID do was change all the menu text to japanese. Because reasons.
Sounds like a result of not switching back to 32bit.
Make sure you actually save your settings by clicking 決定 instead of キャンセル. Admittedly, it's probably a shot in the dark at this rate but I just wanna be thorough.

What OS are you using?
I know there seems to be an issue with getting it to run on Windows 10. I just played it on Windows 7 and had no real issue.

I think there's a patch from Broccoli you need to install. It should be hosted on some forum or the pastebin. Your DirectX also might need an update. There should be an installer in the game folder. Make sure your Applocale is set to Japanese Unicode and the time & settings of your PC is also set to Japanese. If you are using a newer OS without Applocale, you should be able to use Locale Emulator instead. You can download that off github.
You seem to have the correct font, so that should be fine.
I also think you might need to use a different startup icon than the normal one. In the game folder, there should be several different icons with a separate angel on them. Like one has Milfuelle's face, one with Forte's, etc. Try them all.

Some say messing around with 16 and 32 bit options and fullscreen/windowed helps. Try switching them up and then exiting the game, then reopening them with the different options.

Don't feel discouraged. Playing visual novels and 2D games in the 2000s on english PCs was always a challenge. Most older games are a pain to get running. Screwing around with options, patches, ascii, locales, etc. was to be expected

>>49523822
KISSU IS MANDATORY

I hope it all works out

>>49518563
>Well windows defender flagged voodoo as a trojan. Pretty sure that's a false positive but gonna do a bit of digging first.
Yeah, the latest version gets flagged for some reason but older ones don't. I know you already tried it but for anyone else lurking, v2.85 doesn't set off defender.

>>49518644
I'm assuming you read the install instructions but if you didn't, the installation is a bit different than other programs.
>open dgVoodoo2_xx.zip
>open the MS folder
>open the x86 folder
>copy D3D8.dll, D3D9.dll, D3Dlmm.dll and DDraw.dll to the same folder as GA.exe
>overwrite any files (make a backup first if you want)
>run GA.exe
>if there's a watermark on the bottom right then it's working
>close the game and copy dgVoodooCpl.exe and dgVoodoo.conf to the game folder
>open dgVoodooCpl.exe, go the the DirectX tab and uncheck the watermark box on the bottom
>apply, OK and run the game again
It should just work at this point but if it doesn't you can try messing with the dgvoodoo settings until it does
You could also try running GA in windowed mode by running GA_Starter.exe and picking ウィンドウ モード (W)

Is it actually happening, my dudes?

Damn shame Right Stuf got bought out
Crunchyroll seems to ignore printing blurays of older series.

>>49553515
I'm doubtful but fingers crossed. Where can I check the progress on this?

>>49519143
Windows 10, and yeah, seems a lot of the historic stuff seems to be based around vista and 7, occasionally 8.
At some point the game had been launched so many times that it was starting to lag itself and my computer in general was starting to run slow. So restarted the computer and called it there for now.
>>49528329
The windowed hack just straight up doesn't work for me, unfortunately. And dgvoodoo did manage to boot up correctly as far as I could tell, but it still didn't help anything.

When I actually have time, I'll try to figure out how to set up a virtual machine or dosbox and run it in that to see if that works.
Appreciate the help from anons, regardless.

>>49555620
I'm very skeptical myself, to be honest

It's some random person on reddit, please forgive me and they seem to only post updates on their discord, but he's taking invites for playtesters so I'm going to try and join and investigate further.
There seems to be a working hack and text insert of the ps2 game and subtitles added to cutscenes, so I'll see if there is actual promise and not some sort of a grift.

>>49555656
Dang, sorry to hear that

Hope you find a way to play it eventually

Mint turned me into a lolicon

>>49528951
I must admit while I don't enjoy Forte's songs as much my god does her seiyuu steal the show during the live performances

For me, it’s Mint.

I plan to livestream her game on a Virtual Machine in the near future
Would any anons be interested?

Got a new video card and reinstalled windows recently. I was kind of worried Galaxy Angel would break but luckily, it still works just fine.

>>49572247
I'd be interested
Make sure to post a link somewhere on /jp/ when you do it

>>49575380
Glad to hear it
I have so many patches and fixes and whatnot applied all over my windows that reinstalling it would break a lot most likely

I have found an ISO and have prepped a virtual machine to try and boot it up in, next. With any luck, that might get me somewhere. Or at the very least, it'll be something I can fuck around with a lot more without having to worry about my main machine's settings.

In the meantime, while I've been procrastinating on that, I have been procrastinating on making a lil shitpost to commemorate my endeavors.

Mint has a blue theme
Yet Vanilla has a "mint-green" scheme

>>49680655
What's a Milfeulle anyway?

>>49684961
Delicious is what it is

>>49684961
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mille-feuille

It's a french pastry spelled "mille-feuille," usually known as a "Napoleon" in the US but in Japan it goes by the French name and is romanized as Milfeulle

In Japan, the food has gone full "meme" and now comes in all sorts of shapes and styles but still referred to as "milfeulle." Recently round "milfeulle" pastries by a company called GARIGUETTE have gone viral in Japan.

Why do they call it that

>>49689461
Mmmmmm.... green

>>49689461

check 4chan for the first time in months and there's a GA thread. awesomesauce

you guys think since di gi charat got a reboot GA will get one? i hope so

>>49692225
>>49693262
Checks out
>>49693679
I'm rather doubtful. It also raises the question of whether or not it'd actually be any good. I'd be happy with new merch at the very least.

>>49693679
Hopefully not since Reiwa no Di Gi Charat kinda sucked

>>49693679
Not happening unless the game gets a remake or GAIII comes out.

>>49695242
Reiwa wasn't that bad as far as 'modern sequels to classic series' go.

>>49693679
Even if it would probably be bad, I would still love it. I always want more Galaxy Angel. Especially with the original cast.

>>49693700
>>49695242
>>49696835
I'm also happy about the recent new merchandise. It's nice to receive new stuff from old series.
I also was a bit iffy on the Di Gi Charat comeback. I was real excited at first, but wasn't too happy about the new cast editions. It's curious how they somehow thought adding new characters would be a good thing when that really screwed over Galaxy Angel in the past. I was still happy to get it though, and wouldn't mind more. The youtube shorts were interesting.

Now an additional game release? A fourth installment to the original trio and maybe guests from Rune would be a dream come true.

So which Vanilla do you prefer? They're both great but they also differ the most between the angel brigade's respective anime and game counterparts

>>49703492
Obviously I like both Vanillas
Generally I'd say I like the VN version a tad more though. She has a very gentle, kind, and delicate demeanor that makes you want to protect that smile. She shows more emotion too. I also think the VN seemed to handled her religious side better.

In the anime, she almost seems a bit "off-the-rocker" and emotionless at first. Mint in the second episode (in her typical style) even says to watch out about her. But I really liked that Vanilla too, it's a very interesting take and I think it fits well into the cast. Everyone in the anime is made to be a little bit crazy compared to their VN counterparts.
It made it special when she actually smiles and when she shows that she deeply cares about people and their well being. Her anime personality seems to be toned down a bit more though in the later seasons. I preferred the earlier anime Vanilla, although I guess you could consider it character growth.

>>49706559
More or less my sentiments.
I think as the anime went on she goes from quiet girl to resident weirdo, never to a degree that she feels ruined anyways. I suppose it's only inevitable as the show ramps up its absurdity. Also, the green frills on her outfit in her game design serve as a nice accent and I wish she got to keep those for the anime.

>>49711406
does her snot taste like vanilla?
