    Favorite Group of Heroines in a Visual Novel

    +1 for Deardrops. I had briefly considered mentioning it myself, but Grisaia won out for me. Still that game's up there when it comes to a solid, varied cast of likable characters.

    I actually thought about not mentioning Deardrops for a quite while, simply because of how important Eiji is to the band.

    I'm confused; what are you talking about? Eiji is the best heroine in the game.:Kappa:

    My favorite female casts are usually the ones I don't actually want to date, because they feel so much like real friends to me. That applies exclusively to casts which interact a lot with the player and amongst themselves, in order to form an immersive group experience (Grisaia, Majikoi or Deardrops).

     Hey, I'll back you up.  Shizune was great.  I'm so tired of hearing, "Shizune sucks, Lilly is best", even though Lilly is admittedly pretty good as well.

    While her route did have more than its fair share of problems, more than any other route + ending (good or bad) in the game, her bad ending was the one that hit me with the most feels. That CG man...

    That alone put it above Emi and Hanako's route in my book.

    Rocket Lague

    Rocket League is one of those games I've watched 20+ hours of other people stream, but have never actually played myself. Wish I didn't miss the month it was free on PS+, but at the same time, my sense of coordination is shit-tier so it's probably for the best.

    How to handle drama in VNs

    Not speaking to the examples provided, but is SODS always indicative of bad writing?  You don't get the thrill of recollection that Palas mentioned and you don't get to make all the little connections in your head, but sometimes drama needs to be spontaneous and hit you like a truck - either due to the nature of the event or for artistic impact. Dramatic events aren't always explicitly or subtly telegraphed in real life after all and I could conceive of some examples where it would be more organic for there not to be any foreshadowing in the story at all.

    What Are You Watching: Movie and TV Show Edition

    Saw Bridge of Spies last weekend. In spite of the critical (and audience) acclaim, I just didn't like it. Felt wholly mediocre, with all the Spielberg story beats you'd expect. A portion of my disappointment might be due to my own misaligned expectations, as I went in craving something in the vein of John le Carre in spite of the trailer leading you to expect otherwise.

    What Anime are you watching now?

    I still need to get around to watching S2 of Baby Steps. Is S2 just as good as S1? Or could it possibly be better? I'm no sports fan, nor a fan of sports anime either, but I loved Baby Steps, even though I barely know anything about tennis in the first place.

     

    I'm only about half way through myself, but I'd say it at least holds up.  Pacing is still phenomenal, the story still pays plenty of attention to sports physiology/psychology, and the character development is still above any other sports anime I've seen bar none. S2 seems to have a greater emphasis on the romantic relationship between  Eiichiru and Natsu too, so you might end up liking it better if that's your sort of thing.
