2016: VN of the Year Candidates so far


Clephas

Compared to 2015, this year has been an excellent one.  That isn't to say that we saw a glut of first-class VNs like in 2011 or 2014, but there have nonetheless been several releases worthy of consideration for a VN of the Year award from me so far.

Candidates so Far

Inochi no Spare

Amatsutsumi

Floral Flowlove

Tokyo Necro

Akeiro Kaikitan

Close but not quite there

Koi Suru Otome to Shugo no Tate ~Bara no Seibo~ (a direct sequel, so not a potential winner)

Senren Banka

Soshite Hatsukoi ga Imouto ni Naru

Toki o Tsumugu Yakusoku

 

Since there were no really worthy candidates last year (I named Kikan Bakumatsu Ibun Last Cavalier the VN of the Year, but I would have preferred to leave it blank), this year is definitely the one to watch.

No Baldr heart? I haven't got time to play through it yet though so I can't compare it to Amatsutsumi which is the only one in the list above I did end up finishing.

Akiyume Kukuru might be one to look out for in December as a latecomer - though it's strange for it to be release in winter given the autumn themed title.

Color me suprised! I haven't known that the sequel to one of my favorite VN was out. I'm really out of touch with VN scene this year. So, is this continuing any route from the first game?

Do Kaikitan, Amatsutsumi and Floflo even stand a chance against the other two? I mean, kamige vs. non-kamige...

I just named VNs that I would have considered a shoe-in for VN of the Year had no other worthy candidates been present.  I'll narrow things down as we approach the end of the year, and I should be down to two or three main candidates by the middle of January.  So far, to be straight about it, Tokyo Necro is the solid leader, even if it is a niche appeal VN.  Nothing else really has that level of quality in all areas, lol.
