Correction: SAO, NonNon and Gochiusa. Also put Charlotte, because it's Key.

WATCH IT! DEFINITELY! It is very relaxing, the characters are all very cute, there are some cute friendship bonds among them (specially Cocoa/Chino), it has some nice Europe-like backgrounds, it has coffee, it has rabbits, and the best of the show: RIZE-CHAN!... Honestly, it's hard to find a reason not to watch it.

The problem isnt not if it's realistic or not. It doesn't fit her emotions in that moment. And your comment in the end of the paragraph doesn't match with the given scene in the VN. First, because they didn't mention anything like that, and second . Look at this picture and look at her sprite in your OP. Notice how part of Amane's bangs sits over her face as well as one of the 2 long strands of her "frame" (the medium length pieces that go over the front of her body and fall on either side of her boobs) actually goes over her face. It cover the side of her face effectively giving the appearance that her head is smaller....if you don't understand how her hair looks. But you know the second you realize how her hairstyle is composed and then you look and see that Amane and Yumiko have pretty much the same sprite head just flipped you realize you can just slap Yumiko's hair onto Amane and swap their eye colors and if you cut off their picture's before the neck and made them both a "avatar" image I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't notice the difference until they sat down and had a staring contest with the two, and even then I'm sure someone who hadn't looked at Grisaia for a few months would probably take a minute to figure out which one was actually Yumiko...because you know the both have the same face shape and size and the facial differences between them are minuet when you look at a nose line and the squareness of Yumiko's eyes. It's like the callings of "identical twins" in real life if that was all that was different in your facial anatomy. When I said 'big head', I was just talking about width. And Amane heads looks smaller in comparison to her body, thus the same doesn't happen with Sakaki. Let me start by saying these pictures aren't "perfect" replicas of each other. Now let me finish by saying the anatomy is perfectly justifiable in both of them. First picture is Yumiko looking down. How did my detective skills decipher such witchcraft? That piece of shading in the middle of her head is her hairline. It's after the bangs end and assumably around the centerpoint of her head. What does it mean when a person is looking down? I means that the top of their head (the part covered in hair unless you're bald) does not contain facial features. It means that since her top of her head is showing therefore her eyes are further down, therefore she has more hair. Look at the picture below to see what I mean. apollo13art.com's head anatomy study The middle picture of her looking straight ahead is the bottom picture of Yumiko's the picture underneath is the first picture of Yumiko's where she has "more hair". Granted the Apollo13 headstudy shows the downward glance at a more drastic angle, but let's talk about differences that were complained about in the OP. "a big part of Yumiko's hair is occupying her head" I already talked about how that's angling and there is no logical reason to give Yumiko a balding spot on the top of her head just so that it doesn't "look" like she has more hair. Her eyes are normally a vertically enlongated rectangular shape. Looking at Apollo13's picture you see that the eyes become "vertically pinched" when you tilt your head down, they don't become as long anymore. Therefore since Yumiko's eyes are supposed to take up less vertical space the rectangle shaped eyes are perceived as more square. I swear she didn't swap out her eyes, that's actually how Yumiko looks. You do have a point here. You say she looks down, but the thing is, she doesn't appear to be. At all. Look at their body language. Little Sachi is happy. Little Yuuji is sad. Sachi's head is more upward facing thant Yuuji's. On top of that Yuuji is slumping his shoulders (as seen by the obtusely downward angle) and Yuuji is hunched forward. Sachi on the other hand is in swinging position. Have you ever sat on a swing with you back perfectly straight? No not really. You lean forward a bit unless you're in the forward swing where you throw your body back. Sachi isn't slumping forward really. Since Yuuji's head is facing downward (as seen by how his shoulders end halfway up his ears and Sachi's ears are above her shoulders) it would be ridiculous for Sachi who is holding her head up higher in a position where their shoulders are even to have her head in line with Yuuji's. Her head is heald higher his is slumped forward at the same angle of his body. Sachi's chin his higher than Yuuji's, Sachi's mouth starts higher than Yuuji's, Sachi's nose line his higher, her eye line is higher, her ear's start/end higher...and her head ends higher. Please if I stood next to someone who was might height and then slumped my head forward don't criticize the guy next to me for having an enlarged head, you'll come off as insulting and probably get punched in the face. I shouldn't have compared the height of the shoulders... But I did this experience, with me and my cousin. Both of us stood in Yuuji's same position. And, no matter how low were our heads, our shoulders didn't come from right under our ears. I was commenting on the pictures that when I looked I thought 'Ew, this looks weird~" And maybe I have commited mistakes, but this is because I'm an amateur when it comes to art. I'm not graduated in literature, or visual arts, or music, or scenic arts or psychology... But I won't stop reviewing stuff just because of that. Heck, I think almost no one here who reviews VNs is graduated in all those stuff. All I can say, however, is thank you for your advices (specially regarding perspective), and I'll try to improve next time.

Attack on Titan. I find the story pretty bad, one of the reasons because I didn't give a shit about the 'mysteries' and it's boring. But there is lots of blood and stuff, so you may like it.

Bakage doesn't mean it's for idiots. But anyway, I didn't say it was shit, I just said that since it was focused on comedy, there was no real 'content' to take out of it...

Isn't Majikoi by definition a project with no substance, like a bakage? All I see it's people praising it for the comedy...

When I was talking about sequels, I meant 'real sequels', that aren't fandiscs. I know what fandiscs are...

The only sequel I've played so far is S;G Octet, but, you know... I was wondering, due to the structure of VNs, how are most sequels made. Do they, like, pick up where each route left and get you to choose the route from the beginning? Or do they follow the generic bad end and do the routes all over again, but in a different way? I know there are lots of VNs that have sequels... There are ones, like Pia Carrot, that have like, 3 sequels... I'm just curious to know how they work...

Agreed. It was really fun. I think this one was more Hotaru-focused, so maybe next one will have more Koma-chan. I laughed SO HARD when Renge was playing with Hika-nee (Bobu bobu, lol). I hope an autumn episode is released soon.

Forgot to mention the rest. Manga: Iris Zero LN: Oregairu VN: Little Busters! Didn't mention any movie because I haven't watched any 'notable' one.

My favorite anime is SAO. It got me hooked from the very first episode, and it made me care so much for its characters that whatever shit happens to them is an interesting story for me (something most animes haven't achieved for me)...

There's just one girl, seriously. I don't like this dance. 3/10

Maybe she isn't actually dead to begin with;

Loved the episode... I'm also loving Charlotte. I also wonder where the next episode will head, cuz I don't want them to return to the 'Power of the Week' routine.

Cute: 8/10

Confession: This is how I am after trying to do some arithmetic progression exercises:

I can't automatically login after I close the Opera window... Even when I ticked the 'remember me' box three times...

I don't even know what that is... False (edit: oh, it's panic, it's so so, I dont usually listen to it) Next person has reached the enlightenment and knows 2D girls >>>>>>>>>>>> 3D girls

How wonderful!

Finished Moeka's route in S;G Hiyoku Renri no Darling. I enjoyed it. Currently reading Suzuha's route and Remember11.

WARNING: This review contain spoilers. If you don't want to be spoiled, jump to the "Overall" section in the end. "Mihama Academy - on the surface, a closed learning environment established to nurture students who find themselves at odds with the world around them; in actuality, an orchard-cum-prison built to preserve fruit that has fallen too far from its tree. Whatever the circumstances behind its establishment, Mihama Academy is at present home to five female students, all with their own reasons for "enrollment." For better or worse, each girl has established a routine obliging of her current situation; life moves at an idle, yet accommodating pace within the walls of Mihama. Yet with the arrival of the institute's first male student, the nearly preposterously opaque Kazami Yuuji, the students at Mihama begin to fall out of step with their predetermined rhythms. Will Yuuji prove to be the element the girls around him needed to take hold of their lives once more, or will the weight of their pasts prove too steep a wall to overcome? And in the first place, just who is Kazami Yuuji? While the true nature of the "job" he is wont to alight to at the most haphazard of moments remains shrouded in secrecy, one thing is for certain - his encroachment upon the quiet orchard known as Mihama Academy will prove itself momentous in one way or another. And of course, one cannot discount the possibility that perhaps Yuuji himself carries the weightiest past of any of the students..." Story (7.42/10) Characters (9.04/10) Art (6.90/10) Acting (8.87/10) Soundtrack (5.60/10) OVERALL SCORE = 7.6/10 Overall, “The Fruit of Grisaia” is a good visual novel. It has a quite good story, strong characters and voice acting, and okay soundtrack and art. Not as bad as some people claim to be, but not a masterpiece. It’s not better than Rewrite, like I’ve seen some people put it, because Rewrite beats Grisaia in all those aspects, except maybe characters… However, I recommend it and I’m anxious to play Meikyuu
