My favorite genre, as most of you probably know, is chuuni. Chuuni is a genre where the protagonist is generally at the center of events, able to effect those events, and the story is generally filled with melodramatic plot and spoken lines, meant to be taken absolutely seriously. An example of chuuni anime, for example, would be Fate/Zero or Code Geass (to give you an idea of what to look for). Chuuni comes from the word 'chuunibyou', which is a common stage of development for teenagers, when they desperately want to believe they are more than they are and sometimes even convince themselves they are more than they are. Many people who get addicted to fantasy and science fiction tend to get addicted during this stage of their lives, and it is also a stage of life that people generally look back on with embarrassment once they get over it. This is the reason why the Japanese stuck 'byou' onto the end of the word, which has the same kanji as the one for disease, lol. For those who simply enjoy fantasy and melodrama for the wild ride it can give, chuuni is pretty much the ultimate genre. Chuuni also tends to tackle philosophical issues that get left by the roadside as people mature, simply because people start thinking that it is somehow embarrassing or pretentious to consider such issues as if they were the first person to do so ever. Not to mention that many of the best writers in the otaku industry write chuuni VNs, light novels, and manga. This is because it is a genre, similar to the ero genre, which simply has none of the limits that other genres tend to put on themselves. That said, here I am going to put down a list of chuuni VNs, both translated and untranslated, for the reference of fanboys. Translated Muv-luv Alternative Fate/stay Night Tsukihime Comyu (partly translated) Eien no Aselia Yumina Kagetsu Tooya Phantom of Inferno Demonbane G-Senjou no Maou (yes, it is chuuni, and even though I don't personally like this game, it is nonetheless a technically good game) Sharin no Kuni Sekien no Inganock Rewrite (yes, it is chuuni... it was deliberately written to be chuuni) Umineko no Naku Koro ni Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Shikkoku no Sharnoth Soul Link Grisaia no Kajitsu Cross Channel Koihime Musou Ayakashibito Understand, I'm mostly listing all of these to give you a sense of just how wide the chuuni genre is. While games like Comyu, Tsukihime, and FSN are most commonly labeled as such, games such as Sharin no Kuni and G-Senjou can be included for their degrees of melodrama, complex plot twists and turn-arounds, and attempts at hedge philosophy. This should also tell you that a lot of translators are hidden chuuni fans, to one degree or another. If nothing else, chuuni games are full of content that is well-considered and thought out, which tends to attract those with the passion and interest for translation. To an extent, games like Hoshizora no Memoria also have chuuni elements, albeit not strongly enough to consider them primarily as chuuni games.

The truest sign of chuuni influence is melodrama, after all. Even the nakige genre has chuuni influences, as can be seen in Clannad and Air, (the reincarnation issues in Air, and the general melodramatic emotion-pulling that made Clannad so popular). For the fun of it, try picking up chuuni elements in your favorite anime and video games. Don't bother with jrpgs though, since those things are mostly straight chuuni, lol.

I had been playing it for a while now (4 months??) and im FINALLY done! It was amazing! I have to say, Kurugaya's route was my fav... and Refrain was Awesome!! Never seen anything like it! Kyouske is so cool... T-T So yea, I liked ALL the characters. It was a great VN for me and the first one i ACTUALLY completed. I first tried Kono Oozora but i just finished Kotori's route. i wanted to do Amane or Asa, Yoru first =.=

I've got a decent amount of figures, mostly Robot Damashiis and Figmas. this Eva Unit 01 Damashii was the first anime figure I every bought. Also, the Tamashii stands fucking suck. The Chogokin Saber, her armor is made of metal! Homura and Inori, Homura being the first figma I ever bought, and is still the most I've paid for a figure. And my most recent acquisition, Fate Testarossa Harlaown in her Blaze form.

Wasn't a fan of how the true ending more or less erased all the character development. It wouldn't be a KEY game without a KEY miracle.

Saying things like this dost make me wish I could replay old VNs and feel like it's fresh out of the oven. That first time...

I really like the type of routes found in School Days. Despite my dislike of most of the characters in that VN, I love that the story feels organic growing from your choices rather than feeling like a series of railroad switches like in games like Grisaia no Kajitsu(though on the whole, I like that VN better). It feels more like I'm participating in the story instead of merely choosing which story I want to read.

Those end books in the 2nd photo are mostly French medieval history titles, such as Le Conte du Graal, La Quête du Saint Graal, and La Chason de Girart de Roussillon. They are mainly what the French would call "chansons de gestes" - basically narrative poems of about 4,000 lines composed in prose, mostly sung by minstrels and in churches that tell a tale. In this case, they relate to the Holy Grail. Anyways, just a little French history for you all. I think the last two photos are the most manly but hey to each his own .

"I've made a terrible mistake..."

Yet another person is exposed to the perfection that is Refrain. Glad you enjoyed it! I liked most of the route, except for Komari's I didn't hate her route, in fact it was pretty good, but I just couldn't get into her character. Edit - Don't know why I said Kotori

Ditto I also finished Kotori's route today,what a coincidence. And wow,I thought I'm the only one who took A VERY LONG TIME to finish LB(3 months 1/2).I also like Kurugaya's route though Kyousuke kinda ticked me off in Refrain,so his coolness level dropped fmpov.

If you really like them, then here's something you might be interested in. http://yandere.freeforums.net/thread/76/yandere-survival-guide-copypasta?page=1&scrollTo=1251

One of American action cartoons' greatest flaws is that their writers don't even try to take the story seriously. Instead, they spend all their time trying to bludgeon the watchers with moral lessons or with a story where people mysteriously don't die even though things are blowing up all over the place (my first TV show was Tour of Duty, a seriously brutal show about the Vietnam War, so GI Joe seriously disappointed the bloodthirsty toddler I was). That perception that animation is only for kids is the main reason why there is no large corresponding production mechanism for producing the same kind of material you see in Japan here in the west. I imagine that will change as the people who lived through the late eighties as young adults die off, but that is still a long way away.
