April Fools' came early this year. For warlocks who just aren't feelin' it, you know what I mean?

TOPPARA! will not be licensed ever

1. Those multiple times Yuuji considered ignorance to be a perfectly valid excuse for gross generalization in his godawful internal monologues. "All "big" women are shopping in a certain way. But I'm not an expert in this sort of thing." "Students at this age have got nothing but homework and masturbation to fill up their free time. But I'm not an expert in this sort of thing." Well, if you're such a non-expert-at-this-sort-of-thing, then kindly shut the fuck up. I mean... um... stop this train of thought the fuck up. Whatever. 2. That one time Yuuji (and the writer) couldn't figure out whether his superiors value him. At different points in the story, he describes himself as an extremely valuable asset and a worthless disposable dog. Alright then! 3. That one sequence with EEEEEVUL cannibal orgies and the notion that tasting human flesh (even unwittingly) somehow makes one beyond help and/or salvation. They're all GHOUUUULS now, Amane. So, you know, don't feel bad about abandoning all of them. And try not to think too much about all the stashed food Kazuki hogged. 4. That one time Yuuji couldn't make up his mind about conventional medical treatment. When it comes to Sachi, medical science is obviously worthless... but sure, let's send Michiru off to a hospital, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hurt. 5. The whole thing with Yumiko's dad, wherein barely legal teens play the stock market (or something). Gawd, that part was so awful, I've done a pretty good job at erasing it from my memory. That entire sequence after Yumiko's dad arrives at the school? That's what I am referring to. 6. That one time they blew up the fucking school. Really? REALLY? 7. Michiru's "GOOD" ending. Ugh. 8. Sachi's final decision point and its completely random consequences. Huh. I guess thought really is material. Who knew? 9. Those several times I nearly dropped the whole thing even before the first decision point. The common route eventually turned into the most excruciating piece of slice-of-life I've ever read. I couldn't wait for the repetitive and pointless torture that stopped providing any new insight into characters' personalities and motivations after the first hour or so to be over. 10. Those seven and a half million times Yuuji was being a reprehensible douche. Worst protag ever? Worst protag ever.

And kickstarts them.

I'd say it was more like a very tedious "spot the difference" competition. Can you find any carefully hidden traits that differentiate those bland girls whose only desire is to swing off the protagonist's dick? Let's find out!

Oh yeah, I forgot about Oretsuba, but it's not like it was ever going to happen anyway. While nothing "official" was said about it, the hint MG... um... hinted at was that it was not going to be a thing. Besides, I just know that Nishimata Aoi's infamous sameface art would bug me throughout the damn thing. TBH, I don't give a rat's ass about Navel either way. I'm more worried about the lack of any communication regarding Caramel Box that leads me to believe this partnership is also no longer a thing. I may be the only person on Fuwa who wants Toppara translated, but still. I do.

It's unfortunate, but it's not much of a loss. Shuffle is cancer in VN form, and Soul Link is... not nearly as good as some people would have you believe. I recall someone from the MG staff (was it Kouryuu? I can't remember) gushing about it like it was a freaking masterpiece, and it just wasn't.

What's with the mock cyrillic script on that picture? You're mixing up your dictatorships!

I need to make this my alarm ringtone.

But... but... now I'll never be able to imagine the look on my opponent's face when he casts Reno and forgets that I'd previously shuffled two Excavated Evils into his deck!

Geez, everyone's farms look amazing. Mine continues being just dirt and a few scarecrows.

After the new patch, RENO IS NOW GLOWING when you meet the battlecry requirements, and I'm really rather pissed off. Way to dumb it down, Blizzard. Oh, and C'thun-related stuff looks terrible. MTG players have whined for years that WotC make decks for them. Now Hearthstone players can do the same.

Immediately searched for Chaos;Head ratings but surprisingly, there is no such split.

Picking up on tiniest things that annoy me, blowing them out of proportion and ruining the VN for myself by fixating on them. The greater the hype, the more I do it.

Here's something Japanese (for once). I love how Chiaki goes up, down, up, down and up again throughout.

Man, this is some bullshit. Why is Pierre even allowed to take part in that Valley Fair display thing, never mind win it? He's the only participant who didn't actually grow/make/catch the stuff he displayed. He's a fucking merchant, he bought it and arranged it. Big fucking deal. I bet some of the stuff he used is mine. Mayor Lewis must be on the take if he allows such blatant crap to pass. Fuck it, I'm joining Joja.

Psycho-Pass for me. Everything before the reveal of Sibyl system was fine. Everything after was more or less crap. I've said it before (possibly on here, can't remember), but I enjoyed season 2 more than the end of season 1. At least it didn't resort to using godawful twists in order to obscure the fact that it had nothing to say about the issues it raised.

None of my three requests made it into the top 10. HOW SHOCKING! I'm very curious to know whether I was the only one to request them. I'd love to have a look at the full list as well.

Eh, it's not the reveal itself that's the problem, it's the setup. P.S. I didn't actually talk to Looseboy. I conjured his image in my head. I often do. Everyone needs a hobby.

Looseboy spoiled Maou's identity to me by not counting on me having intelligence higher than that of a fruit fly...

Sure, go for it. MG and J-List set the bar pretty low. Speaking of which, does Sekai Project even have a mascot (other than Regris)?

Yes, I was spoiled a few things about Steins;Gate on here (I still haven't got far in it yet). I guess everyone just sort of assumes that everyone else has read it.

It's basically magical elements employed to magically solve or at least help solve otherwise rather unsolvable issues.

Hmm...
