Introduction
Welcome, fellow Fuwamembers, to the FuwaRecognition thread. Starting this March, we’ll be highlighting some of the best contributions made by our members each month. From snazzy blog articles to delicious forum threads, and perhaps even a few things more on the shitpost part of the spectrum, we'll keep an eye out for the cream of the crop. And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.

A-hem, so this is the f
I left these two to last for the simple reason that they were obviously intended to be the main heroines. As usual, my instincts for the intentions of a writer were correct. There is a significant difference, both in depth and in detail, between these two paths and those of the other two heroines. First, in both cases, the protagonist's past (though different parts of it) is revealed, and there is something approaching drama involved in the story. Second, the heroines themselves are much dee
Ok... if just one path got gypped by the writers, I would have overlooked it as a minor flaw. It would have been worthy of irritation, but I wouldn't have bothered remaining angry forever. It isn't uncommon for a single heroine to pull the short straw when it comes to route quality... but after reading Kaede's route I have something I need to say.
This game is incomplete!!!!
Here are my reasons for saying that:
1. Ruriko's route goes from dark revelations to sudden lovers to the ending
For various reasons, I had high hopes for this VN. For one thing, it is by the same company that did Reminiscence and for another, I just liked the basic concept. However, there is one issue that is more than a little irritating... they used an entirely new main staff (new writer, new artist) and tried to maintain an aura of similarity to the Akagoei series without the heart and soul that made that series interesting.
First, the protagonist is obviously a knock-off version of Kaito, with a
First, the simple basis for understanding the way Japanese think about the supernatural. Simply put, Shinto, which was the country's official religion and is the religion that originated there, is an animistic faith, with a strong tendency toward the personification of nature and objects. Second, Buddhism was the dominant faith in Japan for centuries, when the various shogunates tried to weaken the Emperor's power by strengthening the influence of Buddhism as a rival faith.
Why is this rel

Yes, I am back, not that anyone missed this thing I infrequently updated.
As some of you may or may not know, I have been really busy since my vacation from University started and have not had the time to pour into my internet activities. As a result, this blog kind of got shafted for a few months. I also started on a job about a month ago, so the rest of my time that I didn't dedicate to VNs got eaten up by the encro

I'll be blunt... despite appearances, this isn't a chuunige. It is a sort of cross between fantasy, science fantasy, and mystery. I'll just say that I wasn't impressed by it... if only because there were numerous technical failures throughout the game (think the kind of BGM random cut-offs you sometimes encounter in older games), and most of the story is shared by all the paths... the only difference is in the epilogue, h-scenes, and who dies and lives at the end.

First, I should probably address those who questioned why I never played this VN before... the answer is that I did try this VN 'way back when' and couldn't get past the prologue. To be frank, the prologue of this VN is pretty... unimpressive. However, once you get past that prologue, you are put into what probably amounts to the best nakige I've ever played.
This VN is a kinetic novel, with only a single ending. It combines elements of mythology, mystery, fantasy, and psychological horror
So I just spent 50 minutes of my day watching this. Trying to process what I just watched is hard, there's just so much information to take in. I watched it alongside OriginalRen, SuikaShoujo and The Major, yet despite our best efforts, our brains simply were no match for the depth and intricacy this anime provides.
I'll try to give you a feel, a small sample of what it feels like to watch "Issho ni Sleeping: Sleeping with Hinako", but I truly believe that the only real way to appreciate this

So some may have noticed that it's been a while since my last update. Some explanation is in order.
I was extremely displeased by the shift in policy that banned lolicon (non-explicit images and discussion) from the forums, together with (what I saw as) the suppression of dissent that followed. I saw this as a serious threat to the free exchange of ideas at Fuwanovel, a repudiation of my long-standing crusade to fight moral fanaticism against loli content, and also as an indication that Fuw
I'm going to be blunt... this game is badly overrated on vndb. I was - quite frankly - amazed at how poorly the story was told... it was like looking at a bunch of disorganized pictures set on a wall and trying to make an actual story out of them. The protagonist is your classic cipher for the reader, and the female characters basically exist to have random sex with the protagonist. The actual battle system is nowhere near as refined as it was even in Force, despite the fact that Revellion is a
Well... first, I should say that Baldr Force EXE was the thirty-fifth untranslated VN I played. At the time, I didn't have a controller, and I ended up suffering from horrible wrist pain from playing using the keyboard. So my first piece of advice to anyone trying to play this game is to get a controller (most are compatible) that you are comfortable using. This shares basic gameplay with Baldr Skydive, though that game's battle system is quite a bit more advanced. As such, feel free to sear
The fandisc for the entire series actually brings all the characters - plus a new cast of one protagonist and three heroines - together, including extensive after-stories for both the first and second generation of characters (Gakuen being the second generation and the others the first). The new cast is based in an era fifty years after the events in the second generation, when most of the characters are elderly or deceased (with the exceptions of near-immortals like Suiku). The three heroines
Well, the answer to the above question is simple... I saw the monster girl anime for this season's first episode and got curious about what kind of content these games had... to be honest, I was planning to drop it inside the first few hours, using it as a break from more serious content before starting Baldr Force.. but I was surprised to find just how good the writing in these games is.
That said, the early games (the Lamia and Alraune games) are nukige, as presented... and the H scenes ar
Blogging once again, dear lord here we go. I bought Bloodborne a while back together with a couple of games on Steam and Lords of the Fallen, I decided to save it for a bit later since I knew it would be an emotional roller coaster and I wanted to chill a bit more during my first weeks of vacations. I was something around halfway through Lords and then I managed to bug the game so hard that I'd have to reset my save so oh well, who cares about this anyway? Time for some Bloodborne.

Hello and welcome back to another weekly highlight brought to you by Fuwa's Recognition team. I'm Mr. Meogii.
Today we will be taking a closer look at the not so new but largely improved chat app. Now, I personally haven't been here for long but Fuwa was always a fun place be, and no one can deny how much Fuwa has grown over the last few months. It is a large community so it would only be appropriate for us to have a place to congregate and get to know each other. The current chat app has impro

I went ahead and played my way through this... for the most part, the story is slice-of-life, with a lot more focus on the comedic elements than in the main game. The result is a lot of hilarious scenes... and really little else for most of the first two-thirds of the game. The endgame story is supposed to be a tearjerking final battle... but to be honest, I hadn't developed enough affection for the new characters to feel anything for what was happening. Too much of the content was comedic, a
