    Skipping Route

    in Introduce Yourself

    Posted

    Welcome to the forums. 

     

    Firstly: complimentary dinosaur

    Secondly: never skip any route. Like others have said you will most likely either: miss out of key content, or get some major spoilers for other routes. 

    I have repeatedly had the urge to skip certain routes to acquire the option to get to my favourite character route, but most of the time that urge quickly disappears. Always worth giving a route a read, you never know, it might turn out to be your favourite.

    No Game No Life

    Posted

    I quite enjoyed No Game No Life. It was one of the anime where I was left anticipating each episode week after week. Like others I enjoyed the bright art style and of course I'm a sucker for fantasy-meets-modern type scenarios, therefore making No Game No Life one of my favourite recent anime. 

     

    Oh, and I love the characters. Especially Shiro due to her interactions with Steph. :)

    That ONE Song thats Plaguing our Mind(s)!

    I happen to have a few songs that regularly pop up in my head.

    Usually it's the beat, but sometimes I get random snippets from the song that I really like. However they rarely affect my mood or actions...but usually come out in relation to my mood. It also varies depending on new songs or if i start listening to a particular band or artist. 

     

    So here are the main ones...but it, like I said, it varies:

     

     

    Looking for some Review Feedback

    When it comes to the speed in which you talk, at least in the linked video, I think you should slow down a little. Especially at the start of the video you talked so fast I as wondering if you had time to breathe. 

    The speed at which you talked made it quite, although not impossible, difficult to follow along and understand what you were saying at times. 

     

    Also, at 3:19 I would recommend not showing that kind of imagery. Personally it doesn't bother me, but your videos may be flagged and taken down with that kind of nudity. A simple black out, or just not showing those kinds of scenes will help you out in the long run.

     

    That's all the tips I can muster. I did however enjoy the level of depth you went into about the story itself. You were very descriptive about the nature of the plot, themes, and characterisation without giving any spoilers away. Which is great, so keep at it. :)

    Chapter 1

    Cold. This is the first thing that flows through my mind, a mind that lost itself in the haze of unconsciousness. I scarcely remember how I got here, this strange foreign cold that threatens to break my mind from this delirious state. This cold soon meets another strange feeling, this feeling being that of touch. This touch does not feel like a human one, the touch is strange. It feels hard, smooth and foreign.

     

    I force my heavy eyes to open and find the source of the cold and the touch. I do not know what to expect to find but I continue. The scene unveils before my blurry vision and I see…a penguin. I do not jump, scream or otherwise react to this revelation, but merely stare at the odd scene in front of me.

     

    The strange scene becomes stranger after the unexpected happens, “You going to lie there, or get up?”

     

    The penguin talks…it talked to me…it asked me a question…

     

    “Well?” It did spoke again.

     

    I jump and scream, unable to comprehend why a penguin is talking, unable to form words, unable to think anything but ‘panic’. A penguin is talking, and it is talking to me.

     

    The penguin studies me, scanning me from head to toe. It feels slightly uncomfortable but not threatening, and I can conclude from its dialogue and obvious intelligence that it has the capacity to think further than ‘food’. Do penguins eat people? Hopefully I don’t get to find out.

     

    It waddles slowly up to me and offers me a few strange objects, “Here, have these. It should help you get your senses back.” The strange creature drops a few peeled peanuts into my outstretched hand, granting me the sustenance by growling stomach apparently craves.

     

    I deftly eat the small treats and return his studious gaze, also interested in his odd characteristics and standing. After a few minutes of sizing the oddly large penguin in front of me I turn my attention to my surroundings.

     

    I see rock, craved by years of isolation into a habitable cave, surrounded by thin ice. A small amount of light appears to be penetrating the sanctum, giving the cave and eerie, yet beautiful, light. I reassess my surroundings and find the odd shimmer to not be reflecting off the ice, but an odd otherworldly gem. This cave is not full of ice…it is full of marvellous, shining gems; they cover the walls, roof, and various sections of the ground.

     

    Accompanied by this revelation the penguin voices an odd query, “So, where is your master human?”

    ‘Master’? His question takes me aback, am I some sort of slave? Do I belong in a cage?

    He obviously catches my confusion from my puzzled face and clarifies, “Oh boy, you are wild are you?”

    Wild, as in some kind of animal?

     

    Before I can voice my numerous questions a small, sharp pain strings the nape of my neck. I scratch the source, only to find a small, thin piece of plastic sticking from my neck.

     

    Oh, it’s a dart.

     

    That thought rushes through my mind, and then the world goes black.

     

    Favourite Anime/Manga

    Gai-Rei Zero is my favourite anime. I love it due to the attachment to Yomi and consequently...

     

    (Proceed at your own risk:)

    ...her death and relationship towards Kagura

     

    It pulled my heart strings in a different way than most stories I read and left me close to weeping.

     

    The action was nice as well, which separated it from just pulling the heartstrings, like Clannad did. 

     

    It is by no means the best anime, but it is certainly my favourite. 

    Would you rather...?

    2. If it is unspeakable, and you just spoke of it, that means you've just canceled it out completely.

     

    1) Be ethical

    2) Be moral

     

    Both of those options are extremely similar so its a hard choice. 

    But I would choose ethical, morals differ and change depending on locale and time. Ethics are my choice due to the consideration granted to others with knowledge of doing so, and sometimes doesn't mean you believe in those morals. Morality is generally much weaker, and to truly believe in morals makes it hard to change.

    So being ethical applies to more cultures so i choose ethical.

     

    Got this one from some site. 

    Would you rather:

    1) Live in a world without problems

    OR

    2) Live in a world in which you rule

    I agree... Back story makes a character meaningful and triggers your empathy towards them. Have you tried Yume Miru Kusuri? If not, i recommend that to you since each character have deep back stories which will move you... XD

     

    I shall add it to my mountain high VN pile. One day it will outclass Everest.

    Now this is a rather hard one, favorite anime huh? Well I am quite the fan of Steins;Gate so if I go with the current mood I'm in it's gotta be Steins;Gate.

    How about you? : )

    Throwing me back my own difficult question eh? Touche. 

     

    I don't have an exact favourite due to my habit of separating anime in genres and judging them into 'favourites' from there.

    But if I had to choose it would probably be Gai-Rei Zero...too many feels man. The ending pulled my tears ducts almost as well as Clannad. Takes its #1 place from Clannad's tear drenching power due to how much I loved the action.

     

    (digressing to avoid rant)

     

    So to avoid a rant and possible explosion of the forums due to the amount of writing I would do: Gai-Rei Zero. 

    Female VN character types

    I personally like various types of VN personalities when it comes to VN 'love interests'.

     

    To be honest it is hard to find a 'favourite' kind of personality per se, but I like characters with deep, emotional (preferably dark or depressing) backstories.

    The specific personality of the character is secondary to me however, so it can vary and keep me interested.

     

    The reason for my desire for a 'deep backstory' is simply to relate me better to the character and keep me hooked and interested in learning their 'deep dark secrets'.

    This desire is what keeps Grisia one of my favourite VNs, followed swiftly (or possibly tying) by Ayakashibito and Katawa Shoujo. The common theme of these being a dark, emotional, backstory to the love interests. 

     

    Soooo, that's me I guess.

    Please give feedback: The "VN Talk" and "Recommendations" forums organization

    in Archive

    Posted

    Being a new forum member myself I think the recommendation board should remain where it is. 

     

    While I did scour the forums looking at all the different kinds of sections, the recommendation forum sticking out is a key factor in my opinion. Simply due to the fact that recommending VNs is probably one of the more important, and beneficial, sections to newer VN players like myself.  

     

    So that's my two cents.
