Nosebleed

Pretty much this.
Indeed there has been a greater influx of VNs being released in the West, but I wouldn't really call that becoming popular since they're just catering to the niche of people that exist here. It's still very hard for VNs to target people in the gaming community because it's such a different format.
As Joey himself said, most of the really popular titles are VN/gameplay hybrids because they combine elements people here are familiar with and thus they're easier to get into, but the actual strictly story based titles only sell okay with a few exceptions like Nekopara or the Sakura games (but let's be honest, we all know the story is not the reason those games sold well).

How many times has fuwanovel gone down and we're not sure what's happening?
Not only that, but we're left with no way to shitpost our memes and spam the forums. Things just can't stay this way.
Well I have come up with the perfect solution for this problem: fuwanovel.rip !
fuwanovel.rip, if it were to exist, would be a tracking website that lets you know if fuwanovel is down.
"Can't you just use sites like this for that purpose already?" well, yes, you can, but fuwanovel.rip is not JUST a tracking website.
Here are the features I believe would truly make fuwanovel.rip something we MUST obtain:
Every time you refresh the page, a random fuwanovel meme image appears. This is to ensure fuwanovel members can get their meme fix even when fuwanovel is down. There will also be a random quote from forums showing up, to remind you of how great fuwanovel is. Post selection will be done with the help of fuwanovel_txt In case there's no sign of fuwanovel being up, there will also be a selection of great videos that will randomly appear so you can be entertained while you wait. More features can be added with the input from our community as well so we can make fuwanovel.rip a second home when fuwanovel.net is down.
Let's not let our memes be dreams, let's make them come true. I'm sure @Tay and @Nayleen can understand how vital the implementation of this idea is.

It gets much worse. Things start getting complicated after certain characters are introduced and some of the main characters are in risk of dying right now, it's really uncertain what's about to happen.
One thing the anime left out though was this scene in the school where people from the outside actually pass by. I'm not sure why they didn't put it in, but it was quite important to the grand scheme of things and it's also the reason why the school burned down, The anime had a somewhat original ending in that regard.
Several scenes were changed as well. Mii-kun is not with the girls from the start in the manga, for example, and they tell her story in flashback format as opposed to the manga where it's an actual arc. Mii-kun's story is also missing scenes, namely several moments in the mall where the people got trapped in, Mii-kun was in a larger group that eventually all turned into zombies, but they didn't show that in the anime.
The anime's violent scenes are also quite toned down. The manga isn't very gorey either but it shows more of the unsettling details.
Well, all I can say is you should read it, it doesn't take very long to catch up and there's lots of new things.

Disappointed this isn't actual clickbait.
Regardless, binaryfail is a legend, without him I probably wouldn't have started and finished the Lilium x Triangle project. Thanks for everything you do!

Not only a musician but an inventor and a visionary. You didn't go to a Prince concert to simply listen to music, you would go to feel a completely unique experience. The world is definitely an emptier place without him.

Having played the PSP version myself (which is the same as the 3DS one in terms of story) I would say you should be fine if you buy it.
The point I tried making was that the PC version is also worth it.
Considering you didn't play either yet, you can get both, but just the 3DS version will still give you the whole story.

The PC version is a localization of the 2009 Japanese PC release of the game. However, it does have extra scenes and endings that could not be added in the game at the time. This is NOT  a port of the PSP version onto PC.
The 3DS version however is a port of the PSP version. The graphics are slightly nore polished, but the content of the story is the same. So if you played the PSP version, there's not much reason to get this one.
Out of the 2, I would go with the PC version since that's the original version of the game and it was never released in the West until now so you actually have stuff to discover!

My god Prunus Girl really was great. Seriously the ending was so perfect. I ended up putting it on my top 10 manga. For a gender bender manga, it managed to take itself seriously when it needed to but also kept the tone light by not having any big tragedies and just focusing on character interaction. Maki and Aikawa were perfect for each other right from the stat and their journey ery much reminded me of when I read Usotsuki Lily (which is a top tier gender bender manga I wholeheartedly recommend).
Immediately after finishing it I read a couple other similar (albeit shorter) gender bender manga.
One is called Himitsu no Akuma-Chan and it's about a trap succubus. It's kind of ecchi but the comedy really goes a long way. Also it doesn't kid around with the lovey dovey moments with kiss scenes being frequent, among other... scenes.
The other was Sazanami Cherry. This one is much more like Prunus Girl in terms of light heartedness. It's a very cute little romance with the only real downside being the fact that it's so short.
Sadly, there doesn't seem like there's a ton of manga that will go as far as Prunus Girl did, but I did manage to find 2 other to read next, one being Boy Skirt, which is currently being published and the other being a 1980's manga titled Stop Hibari-kun, which will probably be the oldest manga I ever read.

If you've seen 17 episodes then you've seen everything. A lot of sites put the OVAs together with the first season.
Kokoro Connect was really good, except for the fact worst girl won.

Uh... these ARE the original 2009 sprites from the first game, you can see them here: http://www.gris2.com/cps_limited.htm
The redrawn ones are the PSP ones.
What XSEED did is publish THE ORIGINAL version of the game in English, which is different from the PSP version in both the story and the artstyle.
