  1. Finally got around to starting on Hyouka, and I really like the mystery elements that are thrown into the mix. It's a nice twist on SoL, or at least it is so far. Plus, the art in it is lovely lovely lovely (particularly good at doing eyes), and Chitanda is straight-up adorable :sachi:

    Also finally caught another two episodes of Amaama to Inazuma a couple of days back. I've not really watched any other new anime this season yet, but I'm really glad I decided to check AtI out because it's simply beautiful.

    False. I prefer alternative or industrial metal, pop, and sometimes rock 'n roll. I prefer my songs to be fast-paced 'coz I'm an adrenaline junkie. :wahaha:

    Next person doesn't like to use slang short forms of words like 'coz or kickin'.

    True. I think they're naff, innit.

    Next person has a song stuck in their head that they can't seem to shift, but they're okay with being there.

    Princess Evangile is one of the few games that I've dropped because I wasn't enjoying it. The most off-putting thing for me was the music; it's terrible. I love music and soundtracks, but I'm actually really easy to please. I've literally never heard any other VN soundtrack that I disliked, but Princess Evangile somehow managed it. I finished one route and then walked away; the whole thing was just very bland.

    On the flipside of this (I love a good soundtrack too), I can listen to the Grisaia soundtrack all day long - and for that matter I have.

    I personally really enjoyed Grisaia, though I'll agree that the plotline is... completely batshit in its conception. Like, it's not 'ZOMGGG I'M SO RANDOMMM RAWR' but there's just themes, occurrences and dialogues that would just never happen. But then, it's a visual novel, so as far as I'm concerned it doesn't have to stay within the planes of reality (like, this is a thing [NSFW depending on vndb settings]) Personally, I really like the protagonist too, which was a major +1.

    Haven't played Princess Evangile, but the plot premise sounds fucking revolting :makina:

    There's two cycles

    Love Live is the seasonal cycle, so we're watching it as this season of anime goes on

    Hyouka is in the genre cycle, which is different

    Is this Love Live cycle linked to the previous series' made (i.e. will it require prior watching of said series)? Cos if so I have soooo much idol stuff to watch :sachi:

    Hyouka tho, dead chuffed that won. I'll (try) and make a start tomorrow, seeing as I have sweet fuck all else! \ :wafuu: /

    I'm the guy creepily sitting in the back of whatever random grocery/pharmacy/apparel/retail/department store you can think of that counts their crap for them with a 12 inch long stick thingy that shoots lasers

    How 'bout 'chu :3

    Hell yeah, you get lasers 'n shiet :sachi:

    I pick tomatoes in a greenhouse, which basically involves me scooting along on a trolley and swearing a lot (at the crap rubber gloves, at rotten tomatoes, at tomatoes on the floor, at the air etc. etc. etc.).

  6. I suppose that this is one of the first concerted efforts to try and be the early bird, so to speak, to what could possibly be the leading aggregator of VNs, spurred on by a potential growth of interest in the genre from people finding games on Steam.

    If they can branch out beyond effectively H-versions of Steam games (OELVN and localised), either through Mangagamer links or possibly, further down the line, being able to strike their own deals with companies, then it'd be really awesome for this to succeed... but I'm not sure it will. I'm not entirely sure how bothered people will be by getting basically the same games as they can on Steam just with boobs, when most (if not all) can be patched to get the same result. That said, boobs ARE pretty persuasive...
