Finally got around to watching the newest episode. Meh, too much music IMO. That song at the beginning got leaked so all I could think of while it was playing was this version:

Yandere is best dere.

AMAZING characters, IMO. Just saying, the games wouldn't be anywhere near as interesting with the formless moe-blobs that inhabit many anime/VNs.

To Heart. From what I hear it was revolutionary in being the first popular love/dating based eroge. Why is it still not translated?

Don't be preposterous, every One Piece arc is kickass. This is their first voyage in the new world, so I bet we'll finally get to see the extent of their new powers and possibly even a little teaser towards the ending of the manga.

I tend to avoid Japanese pop/visual kei these days. Right now I'm listening to The Knife - Deep cuts.

Since 2008, so maybe 3.5 years?

I'm sure a lot of you are wondering: Why is there a My Little Pony thread on an eroge forum?!? Well let me tell you. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a show that debuted in October 2010 and steadily gained an internet cult following for the following reasons: 1. Animation. The animation is pretty top-notch. If you don't believe me, watch a couple episodes from cartoon network. Notice how the faces are "fixed" at a certain angle not looking straight into the camera. Lazy animation. With My Little Pony you get incredibly detailed animation and a full range of 3d motion despite the tr

Oh my gosh, YES.

Characters, without a doubt. If the characters are lovable and interesting, they can be doing mundane things and make it seem fun. A perfect example of this is "Crimsoness". I use that example because although the graphics were shit, I don't remember any music to speak of, and there was no coherent plotline, the batshit-crazy interesting protag made it a decent little mini-game.

Anyone else read the One Piece manga? I'm super pumped for the newest arc, it's gonna be so kickass.

Special cookies?

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who absolutely adored Ciel's ending. I tend to feel the same way as him when I'm playing a VN though. Unless there's a recommended play order I save the "main" heroine for last. Then I play roughly in the order of "least favorite to favorite", or "heroine I'll feel least bad about leaving to heroine I'll feel most bad about leaving". Right now I'm playing 娘姉妹(Musume Shimai) and おれのなつやすみ(Ore no natsuyasumi). Both fairly straightforward loli nukige.

I know that feeling. I'm playing a lot of nukige in Japanese because the words tend to be simpler, and most of the newer ones are voiced, which helps me learn the kanji.

What I've been doing for now is just coloring the font "lavender blush" or white.

1. Liar-soft 2. Nitro+ 3. Four leaf studios(lol) 4. Capcom(Phoenix Wright) 5. Type-moon 6. Gainax(Does princess maker count?)

Heh. That's mildly hilarious to me

Woah, spoiler alert! Color that shit white or something!

Did you really play Kagetsu Tohya before Tsukihime? Why, if you don't mind my asking?

Ah, yes. I really really don't like those versions. They're in DVD format, the subs are buggy as hell, there's no saving system, it's all-ages, the subs are missing in spots, the art is less refined than the phantom integration version...long story short, I refuse to play the DVD version(especially since sex scenes play an important part in the story). I kind of resent Hirameki for releasing that version and killing any future enthusiasm for a proper translation, actually

Excellent choice. I'm still waiting for Phantom of Inferno to get translated. If not, it's one of the first games I'll play when my Japanese reading level is sufficient.

I still kind of wish the original post were clearer, because I'm really curious what they meant. Love is fairly straight-forward(School dramas, heart-warming stories, etc), but dark themes isn't. Is he talking about games which focus on rape and such? Is he talking about all games that have a darkish setting(Fantasy, science fiction, etc)?

I think that I prefer the death of the protagonist. In the end though it's just a different type of story.

I would really like to see: Saya no Uta Kusarihime a well-done Tsukihime anime G-senjou no Maou A Katawa Shoujo anime would be hilarious, since it's not exactly crafted for the Japanese palette.
