    huke's art is freaking awesome. You shouldn't even ask and play the original. If you want the anime art, just watch the anime.

    Uni cafeterias in Japan are amazing. It's freaking cheap, delicious, and you can eat your fill. Now each time I eat at a Japanese restaurant in France I feel ripped off for how expensive it is considering the quantity we get...
    There was a karaage shop next to my uni too, and you could eat a BIG and delicious bento (good portion of rice, shredded cabbage, 6 pieces of karaage and a delicious sauce) for 300 yens. I really miss that shop.

    Didn't play VNs in a while, so decided that March would be my VN month.
    Kin'iro Loveriche + FD
    Don't think it's good enough to be VN of the year, but I did enjoy it. Mainly the characters, loved all of them, but particulary Reina and Ria for their interactions with Ouro (and I love characters who talk like that)
    I really liked the principle of "showing off", it's pretty relatable.
    Anyway, not amazing, but enjoyable VN (+FD)
    Suisei Ginka
    Kinda disappointed. It's not bad, just didn't really find it good.
    Hikari no Umi no Apeiria + FD
    Biggest suprise. Loved it. End is half-baked so it fall short being perfect (well, I guess it wouldn't even if the end was better) but still loved it. It's been a while something made me so into it I lost many hours of sleep.
    Fd was kinda meh because I wasn't interested in the two heroines, but still had nice scenes. (and it's the first time I saw a true love triangle, where each character actually love each other, and not just the guy. Here each one love the other two)
    Tojita Sekai no Tori Colony
    Utterly disappointed. It has some good moments, but it felt like a big waste of time.
     
    Thought I'd have the time before going to uni, but I'm already late, so even if I basically didn't write much, this will do.

    Wow... Could it be I am actually a fast reader? Always thought I was slow because English isn't my native language (+ I'm French :p), and I have a friend who can read books that take me 4-5 hours in an hour.
    I know reading isn't a competition, but the faster you read the more you can read, so quite glad if this is the case. (though now I rarely read in English, mainly in Japanese, so I would rather improve my speed in Japanese)

    I did my maths.
    Started Thursday around 8pm until around 2am. (6)
    Had classes, so only started around 5pm to around 3am on Friday. (10)
    Then from 11am to 1am on Saturday. (14)
    And finally from 11am to 10pm on Sunday. (11)
    So 6+10+14+11=41. But of course I ate and did other things on the side, so you can at least remove 2 or 3 hours (but most likely more than that), rounding the total time at around 38 hours.
    So yeah, how the hell is this considered 50+ hours?

    Finally read Muv Luv and Alternative (which I don't understand why it's marked as 50+ hours when it's like 30+ hours, and I'm not really a fast reader).
    So, my overall disappointment for what many people overhyped aside, let's talk about the best point of both VNs: Sprite gimmicks.
    This is the most freaking amazing usage of the sprites I ever saw in a VN (well, not like I read that many anyway).
    Lips and eyes aside, the way the characters change expression and move during the conversation is good. The fact that they actually change their direction depending on who they talk to. The fact the characters you don't talk to also change their expression and even move in the background. The usage of the depth of the background. How cute Kasumi is when her rabbit ears move with a sfx.
    All these sprite gimmicks make the overall experience so alive and so much better that all the VNs I read so far (minus Bladr Sky, which is amazing in a different sense) feel like shit. And from now on the still sprites I'll see in all the VNs I'll read will feel really stale.
    I didn't read that much discussions about Muv luv, so I don't know if it's actually praised along the story and all, but I feel like it should be, because to me it's the most stand out point of the VNs and the only thing that actually left an impression on me.
