As much as I dislike this, the Steam Reviews for this and Sakura Spirit are hilarious.

I'm so hyped for Gakthun and Ozmafia! I hope they'll bring over the rest of the Steampunk games.

I voted for shorter because my attention span is practically on par with a goldfish, but it really depends. Ideally I like VNs with a shorter common route. If the common route is too long then usually my interest in the actual routes drops and I may drop the game.

There's the vocaloid visual novels if you wanna give them ago. They're mostly light-hearted (very little drama) fairly short as well. There's also Boku no Shokora if you're willing to play an otome game, but it's really short.

I mainly skip endings unless the song is really good. I usually watch openings unless I don't like the song.

I'm a couple hours into Bravely Default and I'm loving it. All I needed to convince me was Ringabel being a dork and Edea's fabulous thighs.

Looks like RightStuf is your best bet right now. They sell cheap anime merch (and the like) compared to other stores, like Animate.

Yay, they actually have a set release date instead of keeping us up in the air! I may grab myself a second limited edition copy and a regular edition to support them.

It depends on the person's taste, but I'd probably show them a shounen since that seems to be genre that most people get into anime with.

I haven't played BlazBlue but I might pick this up since it looks like a straight-up VN. And on the PSV at that! I'm surprised by all these good PSV games coming out lately.

I'm currently playing Pokemon X because I'm a bum and real life keeps getting in the way of me beating the game. Did you try the demo? I didn't and blind-bought the Collectors' Edition lol. The art and OST are amazing so I hope it's worth the hype.

I finally got around to Pokemon X and all I have to say is wow, the graphics and game play system completely blew me away. I haven't gotten that far into the game but it seems like they're trying really hard to appeal to newbies this generation. My friend code is 0104-0456-8201 if anyone wants it.

Sword Art Online second season has been green-lit and is set to air sometime in 2014. PV here: While the first season was mediocre (especially the ALO arc), I'm gonna watch this because Sawashiro Miyuki and the gorgeously animated action scenes compel me to.

Girls comparing boob sizes in the bath is also another one worth noting.

You forgot to mention the blonde-hair-blue-eyes trope.

Hi there! Great work in translating those games on your tumblr btw. Keep up the good work!

The first OP to Valvrave. It's a barely-above-average-Sunrise-mecha anime, but the only reason I watched it was because the OP was performed by T.M. Revolution and Mizuki Nana. They make an awesome pair! The original pitch in this video has been shifted up to avoid being removed. Also gonna throw in some more Kaminomi because well why not.

I think the translation for Amnesia is meant to be more of a read-along though, like a wiki.

Finished Issho ni Gohan. Dear god was it terrible. I would've had more fun watching paint dry. Decided to drop Kanon for now. Choices pop up at the most random times and I'm getting frustrated because I can't find a proper walkthrough. Picked up the first part of Umineko. I can't wait to see how badly it will punch me in the face.

The art is nice and it seems sorta original, even though it looks like a nukige.

I prefer my MCs voiced, mostly because if I'm reading it in Japanese it's easier for me to understand ww. Also I don't imagine myself as the MC, but it doesn't bother me if they're not voiced.

It's like that with some anime. Certain companies (*cough* Funimation) like to simulcast/grab the license while it's still airing in Japan, and others use sales (or somehting of the sort) in Japan to determine what they should license. I think Sentai does the latter. I personally don't like Sentai cuz they're dubs are below average and I don't like how they separate DVDs & BDs to increase sales instead of releasing a combo pack. To this day I'm still not sure if I should buy KamiNomi from them... Yeah the last I heard the first two seasons did poorer than most anime because it wasn't well-marketed. That's why there was that wait in between S2 and S3.

The first two seasons of the anime didn't sell that well, and the manga saw a huge increase in sales during the goddess arc, so it's understandable why they decided to skip straight to the Goddess Arc. But as someone who has been reading the manga since 2009 (though admittedly I haven't read it in a while and need to catch up), it's very dissatisfying for me. What I really hope for is for Manglobe to go back and animate the conquests prior to the Goddess Arc afterwards.

Meh, like so many others have said before I don't mind H-scenes in my visual novels, but it bothers me when it's poorly written (nukige is a different ballpark altogether). More often than not I find myself just holding down the CTRL button until it's over. Like in Hoshimemo: I realize I'm not the target demographic for eroge, especially male-orientated eroge, and sex definitely sells, but it can certainly be better written.

^ The Second Reproduction is actually dark compared to the others on this site. Yes, it has some light-hearted moments, but for the most part it's centered on politics, morals, and religion. I'd start with Boku no Shokora since it's short (less than 2 hours) to get her into the feel of what visual novels are like. Then follow up with either Starry Sky ~In Spring~ or Yo Jin Bo. The latter has more comedy though imo. Sweet Fuse is coming out at the end of this month, so if she has a PSP or can emulate it, that's a good one to show her after SS & YJB. From what I've seen it's a bit more serious but is still light-hearted for the most part. Save Hakuouki or The Second Reproduction for last since it's more plot-orientated and the romance gets casted off to the side at some points. tl;dr: Boku no Shokora --> Starry Sky ~In Spring~ or Yo Jin Bo --> Sweet Fuse --> Hakuouki or The Second Reproduction
