RAGNAROS THE FIRELORD I was pretty happy I got that, he was definitely the coolest legendary in the set, if not the best in terms of performance. I'll probably have trouble trying to fit him into a deck that does hi justice, but I'm looking forward to playing some kinda reno control paladin in wild

After watching blazing teens, I was super into Yoyos, although that was when I was a kid. No idea how good I'd be now Was a pretty good show btw. Most of their tricks were legit, with a bit of effects added in cuz y nut Also I must say, your skills are pretty next level. You'd probably beat the finalist in this show in a super saiyan/draon/fire move or something

"Don't choose the job you love, but a job that'll keep you alive to do what you love". ofc if the job you love also gives lots of money, then you got the best of both worlds. But for the rest of us regular people, I think this saying is a good one to live by.

Well, I'm not sure what else there is to say, Batman already seems to realize the problem with the score system, although I am curious as to what would suitably replace them. For the reviews themselves, a summary at the end will probably do the job. I'd say a summary is much better than a bunch of numbers. When you try to think of the suitable number to summarize your opinion of a VN, you end up either having to give every aspect of the VN a suitable numerical weight, such as giving the story, characters, music and art 25%, if you want to be all professional. Or you just go with what number feels right. Both methods vary a lot from one person to another, which makes the top rated thing on the sidebar feel extremely inconsistent. Speaking of the sidebar, I think we should either implement our own community scoring system that everyone can vote on, as to more accurately represent the opinions of the forums, or simply borrow the numbers from VNDB. You could ofc just do both. I kinda like that since it does give a relatively consistent and accurate evaluation of the VN in question, and would in no way affect the opinion of any review since the reviewer himself has nothing to do with the score. One would look and see Clannad, for example, on the top and think "Huh, that's rated pretty high on the list, I wonder what a review would say about it." The review would serve as a more in-depth look at the VN, one that does not necessarily support the score but at least justify it's opinion smartly and wittingly, like a review should. I suppose the main con to such a system would be that OELVNs would probably get shitty scores and have a harder time getting seen, but I'm afraid someone has to be at the bottom. Work hard, OELVN devs, and prove yourself worthy of this community's praise

I'll just qoute what I said in youre last thread about Fuwareviews: And at the end of my Monster Girl Quest review: In all honesty it should either be removed, which admittedly is a bit extreme but better than having them be mandatory, or at least make it be the reviewer's choice.

I'm frankly surprised @bigfatround0 hasn't been banned at least temporarily by this point, he literally admitted to screwing around: If there are any legit complaints about moderation, it's how lenient they can be with his kind, ironically enough

Well, at least we won this RNG fiesta this time. RIP team Kaguya Also, I feel like it was a little too long this time, I found it very hard to read every single exchange. I'd recommend you add more group fights, rather than individual or fights with only a few members, in order to shorten it. But nice writing as always~

So, the second vid is out: While I do understand that both the past video and this one don't exactly bring new discoveries to how you should date, I think it highlighting the important parts of what you should and should not do to get a real grill is very enlightening, and self assuring. I personally think I'm going to take Huniepop, and games like it, more seriously after watching this. I never considered giving gifts to be a big deal for example (I thought it was just a cheap way to get a grill), but now I understand both how important it is and how to do it right. Whether you look at it the same way or not, I would like to ask if you think the same can be said about the popular VNs in this community. The kinds Matt brings up as an example are mostly dating sims, which aren't really the same as your average Japanese VN. The latter tend to have more story and less mechanics, it's not as simple as getting to sleep with a girl. The methods used in things like KEY VNs in particular feel a little... Extreme and unrealistic. It's been a few years since I last read Clannad so I don't remember it too well, but I recall thinking "who dafak does this irl, these silly fapanese VNs" I suppose it would require me to read VNs in a whole new light in order to come to a satisfactory conclusion, taking them a lot more seriously than I usually do. But what do ya'll think? : >

I shall not lose hope in the ability of the creators of this VN. If they truly understand the greatness of Rewrite, they'll do their best to translate its greatness into a good anime. So have hope my friends! ... Have... Hope...

Haha, I literally said "Oh shit" out loud when I read that title, even my brother came over to my screen to see what's up. For a second I legitimately thought your account was hacked by the lead developer of the Sakura series or something, and I was releived to see it's just April 1st. Ten/10 click bait material #madeFuwaGreatAgain

This is so well put I can't believe it's a shit post

Ahhh, the beauty of self awareness. Huniepop for me is a great example of a Western VN doing something Westerners are actually good at (in particular Americans): Being assholes. Combined with the secret Kawaii magic of Japan it makes a hilarious and oddly fitting combination that is Huniepop. I probably won't play this game, but I'll definitely watch a play through or two for za lulz

Well, your channel sure is... Interesting. I can tell those videos took time to edit lol, especially the Jon's island one, some over the top detail stuff there. I wish you luck in your YouTube career, and welcome to the forums

For me, considering reacantly watched stuff, I was rewatching soul eater and after a particularly awesome episode, I was so booming with energy that I had to do something. The world and characters in Soul Eater are just so beautiful and well crafted that I wanted to make my own, so I spent the next 3 hours making a short fan-fictionish thing. It was the first I've written in over a year, so I'd definitely consider it to be a moment of exceptional "elevation " as the guy puts it

@Tiagofvarela, Our first interaction that stands out in my memory was when we rallied our forces to defeat the loli overlord in the first Fuwa banner competition. I believe that thread was later deleted because of some drama, but it was totes worth it. Other than that I recall you agreeing to record a poem for me, which is still there for the world to see on my channel. That was cool of you. I also remember taking a rather large amount of gifs from you, which proved very useful in editing my videos. One particular time where we didn't get along in was in one of Aniki's games, in which you refused to ally with me :c I can probably recount more such events, as my memory is rather good with recalling seemingly meaningless conversations, but that should suffice to help you remember a little bit. You've recently died in activity way more than me, so I hope you do more stuff like this so I can enjoy exchanging more silly words with you. Keep it kewl and screw Da haters, you're fine how you are

I'mNotInHere/10. You even follow me, yet I couldn't get a small mention. I-I-I just-

My first contact with Japan in a serious, cultural way actually wasn't from anime (that is to say I had watched a few popular anime by then, but I thought they were just "cartoons") but from an Arabic show called "Khawater" that was extremely popular during its time. The idea of the show is to shed light on (mostly positive) aspects of cultures and societies outside the Arab world, and it had an entire season focused on Japan. How the society deals with modernization while keeping its identity, politeness, how school works... It was magnificent. It was a pretty biased show, but at the time I fell in love wiz Japan. Afterwards I got into VNs and anime (which actually lowered my opinion of Japan lol), and atm yeah, it's mixed. I don't really consider any modern country to be all that great, they're all clusterfucks of contradictions, it's just a matter of preference where you choose live. Anyways here's an episode (just watch the opening, the rest of the show is in Arabic, but it gives you a good idea of the show w)

Nyah

Was this law intact when you reviewed Little Busters? /jk And while most of your requirements are understandable, I do have to ask if you consider having a numerical score as part of the Divine Fuwa Style that must be followed. I personally heavily dislike those, as they're often inaccurate and misleading, and imo take away the value of the review itself. A number simply can not summarize an experience. People who actually read the review don't need a number to increase their understanding of the reviewer's opinion, so all it does is give the lazy a usually inaccurate image of the reviewer's opinion. Your own Little Buster's review is probably the best example, the people who were angry at it were only angry at the numerical score and not what you actually wrote, which was p fine. If I were to write a review, I'd like to have the option to not mislead the reader and oversimplify my experience.

Really nice, but I find it very odd that you started by telling everyone how to VN, before actually getting them interested in VNs. I think starting with giving a good example of a VN, with explaining what makes VNs superior to other platforms (VNs master race!) which you did do at the start makes more sense. Not sure if you have time to edit it at this point or if you've already gone lol, but good luck never the less

Rip team Down. Nicely written btw. I kinda wished a little bit of people's actual character on the forums would be written into the story, but I guess it's kinda too much to ask for you to get to know all of us

I have an odd feeling that this is actually a real person having the time of his life trolling the shit out of everyone...

Hah, the Fuwa golden age all over again

So game theory finally released its episode on dating sims (2 years late), and I was expecting something along the lines of "How unrealistic dating sims are", but I'm pleasantly surprised by this theory that claims dating sims actually help in a relationship. While I know there's some lines to be drawn between dating sims and VNs, he uses quite a few weeby dating sims as examples like huniepop, even some that are considered VNs like uh... Hatoful Boyfriend. I also never knew Love Hina was a VN/dating sim, so that's pretty interesting So at this point I assume we VN elites are chick magnets now? Has my life been a lie?!

I love how enthusiastic everyone is despite nothing really starting, we're already 5 pages in this thread
