  1. "Period", it's very long (8 different girls), but it's not guaranteed you'll like it. However, it's slice of life as hell. "Crescendo", normally I wouldn't recommend this game, but probably you'll find something to like in it.
  2. I'd like to play Hoshimemo. IIRC the game I had crashed on me after some time into the novel, so if I can fully play it, I'll support it.
  3. Confession: I've never fapped to a VN. Though I'm too old for that, started with VNs at the age of 28. It's also that most H scenes that come my way aren't exactly enticing or great.
  4. Well it can't be art, since Sakura Beach has great art and it's terrible in every other aspect. For me it's the plot, the setting, the feel and the writing, I'm certainly not there for the H. Never fapped to a VN, only like once or twice I felt the inclination. It's no surprise many people are naming characters, since telling a story never seen is difficult, characters tend to make or break a work of fiction.
  5. Hmmm, probably I was mistaken. I guess it was originally a LN. I tend to mix them up with manga.
  6. I would say, I need it making any sense with all those elements. Fun to watch, but it doesn't have much of a conclusion. I guess the manga is still going?
  7. Not to be rude, but Asobi ni Iku yo was a terrible show.
  8. I'd like to know your thoughts on this movie. It wasn't mindblowing, but clearly enjoyable. The message it carries is good and useful in today's world (see Shakira's "Try everything" song). Judy makes for a good main character, and it doesn't have "silly" drama like Wall-E (I liked Zootopia more than Wall-E). Plus, it's guaranteed we'll have a tidal wave of fanart coming from the fans. Thumbs up, Pixar Disney. At least for me.
  9. Good news is that you've got hundreds of anime to watch, stretching over quite some decades. Also picking some old series and comparing with the new is pretty enlightening about the evolution (decline?) of the whole thing. Most of the old series aren't readily available, though the most popular are out there. Spewing dozens of animes a year doesn't warrant them being good, on the contrary, but you have a lot of backup in that case. Considering groundbreaking series happen once a year or even less frequently, you pretty much have to sit back and watch some older ones.
  10. Well what do you expect, it's SMT setting running on Etrian Odyssey layout. Good production values, but if you're not into the hardcore dungeon hack, it won't do much for you. Myself, I'm a Baldur's Gate boy.
  11. I bought if *before* the console. I got tired of it though. Played up to "Walmart" battle and it is kinda nightmarish. Then restarted it to do things more properly, recruiting Kellam and Tharja, etc. Hey people, how many battles to the end after Walmart?
  12. Probably, but Horo is so nice... pity that the anime doesn't handle their relationship in any satisfying way. Would have to follow the novel, probably buying at Book Depository, but I'm so low on spare money right now...
  13. Hiragana is far easier than kanji, so it's a good starting point. I would say, if you can't do hiragana, then you shouldn't trouble yourself with kanji. Both have different learning approaches though. With a decent memory you can learn hiragana pretty well, or with a lot of repetition. I learnt it with manga magazines when I was 16, but that is a good age to learn anything. Also, as with other non-Latin alphabets, it's easier to know common syllables that repeat a lot than the more uncommon ones.
  14. Easy way to earn you a slap. Did you forget about the current wave of feminism?
  15. I thought it was an artistic resort especially used on lolis, and not meant to be carried over to reality.
  16. But it doesn't account for much. Although clearly Yume Miru Kusuri wants to address the topic, they don't do it in a satisfactory way IMO. Aeka could be perfectly worst girl if not for that fucked up president (again IMO). Well, every girl is pretty weird in that game.
  17. Or, you know, you could run Linux Mint and play VNs with Wine. I know that nothing beats native environment, but Wine should handle them.
  18. You just spam too much, but don't fret, that means you're doing your job
  19. People talk good of Persona Q. I bought it, played it, and sold it because it was so freaking hard. Etrian Odyssey hard. Just not my thing. It was a good game though, but I missed like every gag with the Persona 3/4 characters.
  20. Hi, my email account gets spammed by the minute with the people talking on PM. How can I deactivate the subscription? Thanks!
  21. Idk, is it Key's fault? As in "hey we're famous, pay more you baka"?
  22. Another one, the "it was a dream" retcon thing. Found not only in bad VNs but in bad writing in general. Why show something to your public if you're gonna invalidate it? It's as basic as DRY for programmers.
  23. Seems I was misled by the opening... Monster Musume seemed groundbreaking to me in so many ways. I suppose it's just the most decent harem in ages. And yeah, the first season of the anime could only provide such an ending if it deviated completely from the manga, which it didn't. And besides, they still have to make more money out of it. The most shitty romance story I have laid hands upon was "Kimi ni iru machi"... I spoiled it off since I didn't want to keep watching, and found heaps of complaints towards the author.
