True routes are mostly there to tie up loose ends of the VNs. And they are good story telling tools that can create the connection between the heroine routes, gives explanations on these connections, and create new perspective on the story and the characters. Some examples come to mind. In the case of Rewrite, the Moon and Terra routes are meant to connect all that happened on the previous routes and make sense of them. In that sense, these routes makes sense in the grand scheme of things. And I still think the true route is the best route on Da Capo 2. Not only did it clarifies a lot of what has actually happened on the series, it gives a new perspective on Sakura. And it paved the way for the sequel as well. I wouldn't say that this makes the other routes pointless. The true end wouldn't mean as much if you hadn't encountered the characters on their routes and make a connection to them, and if you hadn't familiarized yourself with the setting of the VN. Individual routes creates the connection and gives each heroine a time to shine, as well as a personality and a background story that you just can't get when you only see the true route.

Dude. Don't ruin it. LOL. Loli characters are the selling point of some VNs to lolicons. However, all characters in eroge are 18+ yo (at least acc to the games themselves). So real lolis wouldn't be in any eroge in the first place due to CP laws... So instead of defining a loli as an age-based characteristic (which IMO should be the real definition of a loli), eroge switched to appearance-based (short stature, small boobs) and personality-based (cute, acts like a child) lolis. So yeah Wanko would be closer to the loli classification (for looking like a loli and acting like a loli) than the non-loli classification. Just my loli thoughts.

Well I've replaced my laptop since I posted here before. So here is my new desktop now I like to keep things simple and clean. And the dock theme pretty much works out with Celty.

First 2D crush would be... Misty from pokemon... Current would be... a lot. LOL. But the top ones would be Ilyasviel von Einzbern (Fate series), Misaka Mikoto (ToAru series), Kawai Ritsu (Bokura wa minna Kawaisou), Sengoku Nadeko (Monogatari series), Haibara Ai (Detective Conan) I know I have a lot of 2D crushes.....

A harem of lolis would be great.... 1. Ilyasviel von Einzbern - FSN 2. Irisu Makina - Grisaia 3. Ezekiel - Osananajimi wa daitouryou 4. Moroshita Michiru - Koichoco 5. Noumi Kudryavka - Little Busters 6. Nakatsu Shizuru - Rewrite 7. Kawakami Kazuko - Majikoi Having a harem of lolis leaves out good waifus though (Tousaka Rin, Sakagami Tomoyo, Maple, among others). But if pressed, always go with the lolis.

Hey guys! I was a member that got swallowed up by college lectures and stuff that I wasn't able to come here anymore for a few years (which was very sad). I still played some VNs though, but my playthroughs were few and far in between. Now that I have graduated and slowly settling in my work environment, I got some free time now. So I decided to return to this community that made me love VNs. With my free time I (finally) finished Fate/Stay Night and currently starting on Da Capo 3. I was very happy to finally see DC3 after waiting for a long time. But sad as well since I remember Aaeru and the C&D on it way back. Also, seems like a lot has changed in the forums and the community. The previous green background is now suddenly all purpley. I don't know if the people I knew before are still here, but I hope the community is as accomodating as it was before. Anyways, I'm very glad to be back.

The art looks good and the gameplay would have been awesome, as I haven't played any dating sims game. I just couldn't stand the language. I mean, I might start speaking like one of them once I start to play it. Just plain disturbing.

Favorite character would be Tomoyo from Clannad/Tomoyo after. I think she has the strongest personality in all Key characters. I also like Kud (LB) and Shizuru (Rewrite). VNs had really awakened the lolicon in me. Favorite support character would be Sunohara. He and Okazaki make a really good comedy duo

Congrats, Batman! Somehow, I feel intimidated that the dark knight will be watching all of us Well, that just means the peace and order on the forums would continue.. Goodluck on your new quest, Bats.

I don't think the scoreboard has been updated recently.

LOL Kendjin

YES! Read the LN. You'll see just how good the plot and the concept of the show is

You're much welcome.. Just ask around for any other thing that you need..

Moon spoiler! This is, at least, how I interpreted the story.

This.. is what you are looking for.. Also, Steins;Gate..

I suggest that you play Kamidori. I just started playing it yesterday. Seems like a very long game.

Correct! Sorry Yukiru :)/>

I'll be asking for the specific title ^^

Hajime no Ippo. Not so sure though..

I mostly download my anime through streaming sites by using IDM. Downloading seems to be a lot faster for me than streaming anime. Also, it gives me the option to watch the anime again even without internet connection, as the copy is just sitting here on my hard drive. Quality is not that good, but still watchable.

Just watched Nekomonogatari Kuro.. My impresson: Hanekawa and Araragi's background story was epic. Makes me want to root for her. Makes me want to see what is in store for the Monogatari 2 this summer. Also, does anyone have info regarding the Kizumonogatari movie? I've been waiting for it for a while..

Male or female kitten?? Freyha would be a good name..

Because I keep my expectations low and I download anime per season rather than wait for weekly updates, I don't have many disappointments regarding anime, and I have a lot of good surprises. For disappointing ones: 1. SAO 2nd season (ALO arc) - Fell flat from the expectations coming from th epic 1st season. 2. Kampfer - Started watching it on a whim, but too disgusted to finish it. The concept was good and it could've turned into a good action anime, but rather it became a yuri/harem shit that was too disappointing. And the protag was just so stupid. For good surprises: 1. Kotoura-san - I was just totally blown away by this one. Seeing the cover, I though I'd be much more of a moe anime, but I didn't expect the story to be so dramatic. 2. Madoka Magica (again) - Lot of talks about Madoka Magica in this thread. Here are my thoughts. At first, I wanted to drop it because it just looks like a girly mahou shoujo anime intended for young girls. But as I progress, the story became dark and made quite an impression on me. I never expected it to turn that way. 3. Chihayafuru - Seeing the characters, I though I'd be more of a romantic anime (Chihaya looks really gorgeous), but it turns out that it was much more different that I have imagined. And I never thought karuta is palyed that intensely. I think there are quite a lot of anime that fall into that category, like Dantalian no Shoka. I don't know about the LN version of OreShura, but for anime adaptations to turn that way, I think the most common problem is the airing time. They may have been forced to diverge from the original story to create an ending that would fit the required episodes. This really turns good concepts into trash.

Hey welcome! I'm currently stalling SG since I want to forget most of the lines first before I start playing it again so I will not be tempted to skip lines :)/> What VNs have you played so far? Enjoy your stay here~~
