Animamundi OP

The opening movie to the bl game, Animamundi. The song is called "Shinen Butou" by Katakiri Rekka. I am one of the official cosplayers for the American release of Animamundi.

Translations taken from the Hirameki site.

[Narration]
The elixir of immortality...
It has long fascinated powerful men, who have sought it,
And sometimes, invited destruction as they did so ...
The cursed fate of the Zaberisk house passed down through the generations...
The parents who had died mysterious deaths...
And the brother and his young sister who had been left behind...
One day, this girl was beheaded in a cruel witch hunt.
But ...

[Lyric]
That beckoning voice guides me
To a fleeting world running towards ruin.
I stretch out my hand in the mist,
And fall endlessly with my beloved.
Seething despair, and a moment's ecstasy...
The true proof of awakening is the cry of death.
More brightly than if it were inlaid with gems,
Your tear sparkles with countless dazzling sins as it falls.
So let us turn this rusted destiny into cogwheels,
All for the sake of you, dancing eternally in madness.
So deceive me and scorn me,
Try to hurt me, but these feelings will not change.
Even God cannot see through this lie...
The overflowing madness becomes like a knife.

[Narration]
Am I punishing you? Am I being punished?
What we are being given...is it retribution or salvation?
For the sake of the final day when all will be forgiven,
I will dance the endless dance of light and darkness...
With you.

[Lyric]
The scent of roses lingers in the darkness,
As if to capture your cold eyes.
The face of the water ripples as the demons wake...
Carve my name into the flesh of your heart.
So deceive me and scorn me,
Try to hurt me, but these feelings will not change.
Even God cannot see through this lie...
The overflowing madness becomes like a knife.

[Narration]
My only light was your smile,
And while I was clinging to this pathetic love...
Tell me! Why did you betray me?
Even though I would have betrayed the entire world for you...

No one happens to have a translation of the full song, do they? I've been looking with no luck.

[slightlysalted]

@mercurycrystal86 It exists. I know that asamidori translated a full version of it. I just didn't put it up because this isn't the full version of the song. I don't have the link anymore, but I'm sure you can try to google it or e-mail her (?) directly.

[mininoe7]

@mininoe7 "Shinen Butou" sung by Katakiri Rekka

[manabluerose]

this is such an amazing game. too bad the U.S version completely raped all the best parts with their shitty edits

[slightlysalted]

We talked to Aldo-san and David-san of Hirameki but basically they had to edit it for the American release or they would've gotten an even higher maturity rating which would've dampened sells even more. They really didn't want to have to edit it, but they really couldn't do without it. ;o; I miss Aldo-san and David-san~~~

[AuroraD801]

There is a patch for the english version that basically uncensors it.

[basilmemories]

@slightlysalted I can understand that, but most of my friends didn't buy it BECAUSE it was censored.
