Soulless Watcher

Was it? I just remember reading on the website in October that three volumes were set in stone with more planned.

Well you are sorely misinformed. The FAQ states the following.

Seems like they are going to milk the series till the cow is dead than grinds it's marrow and mix it with water, there currently is no planned number of volumes in the Phantom Trigger series and everything points to Frontwing cranking these out until people stop buying them.

That is really presumptuous, at least with Chrono Clock you could do some research and find out more information about the title before you spent money on that kickstarter. This screams we know you fucking swine will buy up anything that that has the Grisaia name on it, so you can give us all your money before you have a chance to be informed about the product. I feel like they should have waited until the first volume was released before they shoved a kickstarter out. If they are going to release the first two games not matter what I can only see that helping their kickstarter. This whole project feels really weird and maybe I'm just a cynical distrustful bastard, but I think I'll wait until I see some reviews before I throw any money on this thing.

That's really fucking weird, the kickstarter is, at most, starts a little less than three months before release? It could mean that they already have a good amount of the translation worked on (if so what the fuck is the point of the kickstarter)...... or it could mean that the "volumes" are pathetically short.

I know, I'm just lamenting the fact that the majority of love stories (in manga) conclude at the confession/acceptance stage. The literal start of a romance is the end of the romance in almost the entire medium!

Well, I'm dropping the Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! manga the latest panel has made it clear that the author is determined not to provide any God Damned relationship development while the comic is still popular and is content to put everything in the dreaded stasis of the status quo to milk hell out of the series. FUCK OFF I guarantee that there will be at least two more big "Will they or wont they get together" arcs in-between 100-200 pages each that repeat the same shit.

That last bit in the latest Youjo Senki episode was rather unexpected and could potentially throw my predictions of the show completely out of the window.

Picked up the HD remaster of Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion, it's very strange how oddly entrancing it is. If I could compare it to anything it would be a long drive straight down a highway, briefly interrupted by cardboard being thrown at your face or a naked guy suddenly chasing you on a motorcycle every twenty minutes. Anyways I highly recommend anyone interested to try out the original which is completely free on steam and essentially the entire HD version except less polished.

I wonder who was in charge of the art direction, it's soo bizarre that an anime that is based on a good handful of loosely connected games goes out of its' way to look artistically completely different from all of them. I have no idea why they would do it, I enjoyed Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed well enough to watch an anime loosely connected to it, but this completely flew under my radar because of how radically different it looked. Which in the end didn't really matter, the humor and characters didn't quite satisfy my particular tastes.

I'm not a huge historian either, but from my understanding that is pretty much true. Although, I don't think she will be able to get into a position of "total" power, Although, she is an OP loli so I can't rule out anything.

I really hope they don't "demonize" a certain side, having no clear good/bad side is one of the major "story" elements central to a WWIesque plot. Not sure how they would "skip" WWI and head toward WWII, the conditions brought on by the Treaty of Versailles was central to the rise of Fascism in Germany. I personally hope they will completely diverge from our history in latter episodes.

It's probably a case of simple taste difference, sometimes things just "click" with large groups of people and leave out others. I liked Kud, but I honestly couldn't tell you why many here on fuwanovel adore her.

I really liked the ending theme of Youjo Senkai, but good god is the full version bad ass.

Started watching Penny Dreadful, two minutes in I can say that I am now terribly afraid of bathrooms with windows.

I know, I didn't think this could still be a thing, but yeah here in butfuck Kansas there are plenty of people that still get violently offended by common scientific knowledge. A couple of years ago I overheard a student complaining that their environmental biology teacher was forcing the ideas of evolution on the class........ GOD DAMN IT RURAL AMERICA.

Or you could just not involve yourself in the discussion, it's kinda like the flat earther that was in my Geographic Information Systems class awhile back that kept getting offended by the lectures. Why are you here anyway????

I pretty much knew I was already an otaku the moment I finished the Steins;gate anime, which was pretty much my first anime, and immediately picked up and read the visual novel. It's always been like that with me whether it's Stargate, Xfiles, or Doctor Who once I get into something..... I get into it hardcore. That is why I own every season of stargate sg-1/atlantis, Xfiles, and I have watched all 800+ episodes of Doctor who.

Let's not be judgmental everyone has different tastes or religious preclusions.

Egh, not a fan of the character outfit design (a major pet peeve of mine) so I'll probably not buy it. It seems like the volume release is based off of a latter version of the game that was released in Japan (that was also split into volumes), so it isn't something they just did for the western localization.

Back when I attended youth group at church there was this guy there who would not shut up about his horrifying experiences at Arkansas.

Is the "Suzu Route" part of the title indicating that this will be a series of visual novels or is it just part of the name of the visual novel? EDIT: Alright from what I read there will be additional routes added if the title sells well, which sounds like a dogshit business strategy. I am not a fan of how MyDearest are handling the development of their game.

It never really occurred to me that when Saikawa grows up Kanna will still be a child. Ahhhh, I love the bittersweetness.

I doubt that there will be any meaningful "story branches" that sort of complexity added to the VN series would add allot more time, effort, and money required for each volume. Likewise, I doubt we will get different volumes that serves as different "routes". That would require a good amount of planning and would conflict the Frontwing's wish to milk this series as much as possible. I imagine the story structure will be allot like neverending shonen in which new conflicts are introduced periodically and dynamic characters slowly shifting into static characters as each volume is released. I also don't really feel that this will focus on any sort of romance between the protagonist and the heroines. I'm sure there were be plenty harem anime style hijinks, but I highly doubt that there will be any meaningful changes in their interpersonal relationships.

Finished Claymore and good god that was another respectable houseparty ruined by a dripping stalactite of a shit ending...... and I'm not even refering to the fact that you have to read the manga to get the true end. The last arc of the anime was some high quality shit. I wish my man Toshio Ozaki was around to tell Raki how much of a god dammed retard he is.
