Zaig

I recently saw this scene in the visual novel, although it's been a while since I watched the anime. But what happened in the visual novel was Chisato texted Oojima asking where he was, to which he responded with a lie saying he was out with his mother, when in fact he was with his teacher. He did this in order to stop Chisato from pestering him about his whereabouts because she's possessive like that. The teacher isn't his mother, but the hugging and the text were probably why you're thinking that.

Nice anime so far. I enjoyed the long reference to the Da Capo II visual novel in episode 5; I'm certain there were many references to all sorts of visual novels that episode, but the others eluded me.

Best update for me:

Confirmed via ANN too. Also mentions the anime will cover up until the current light novel volume, although ANN's wording was misleading by stating it will go all the way through the "final novel volume", implying the series is over when in fact the light novels are still ongoing.

For anyone interested, an X-Rated version of Da Capo 3 has been confirmed for near-future release here. At the time of this posting, Visual Novel Database has yet to list it. And as a reminder, the Da Capo 3 anime premieres Janurary 5th, 2013 - almost a week from today! ; )

My joyfulness is over 9000.

1. Zaig is dandere! "Dandere"? So...I'm dere for Dan? *looks up dandere* Actually, that fits me. 2. Dear Zaig, I've always hated your disgusting character. It's disturbing. -Love, Mom So after 21 years, the truth is finally revealed! Is this supposed to be some sort of REALLY messed up love letter involving a tsundere mother? Disturbing. 3. Zaig is a dandere mermaid/merman that needs to be rescued by their hero. No comment...

I played through this game multiple times with a friend, but I don't think I could ever really get into it again, unless Atlus introduces a lot of new features now that they've bought it.

Ef ~The First Tale~ Quite some time has passed since the last time I played a visual novel.

They don't go to the beach in any of the routes in the regular game (they MIGHT have done fireworks on the beach, but they weren't wearing swimming gear); in fact, they're shown in clothing opposite to swimsuits - skiing wear. You're most likely thinking of the VNs in desi's link.

If anyone is interested, a subbed Accel World OVA has been released.

Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden (Light Novel) volume 2.

I'm sure the next season will be announced soon. There was plenty of character foreshadowing at the end of the final episode, and the anime has only gone through a third of the ongoing light novels, which means plenty of material is left.

I own Growlanser 2 and 3, but I haven't purchased Wayfarer yet; I have too many games to complete at the moment.

Although I would be unsure by solely reading this post, your post here leads me to believe you're commenting about the Accel World anime, and not Hyouka, which this thread is about. The Accel World thread is here, fyi.

Interested In- Little Busters! Hayate no Gotoku: Can't Take My Eyes Off You Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Seitokai no Ichizon 2 Robotics;Notes And possibly a couple others.

I don't really care if they're censored or not, but if they're going to be censored with a still picture of a dolphin and make me wonder what the hell is going on like in Hoshizora no Memoria, then I'd prefer them not to be. Unless censorship was used for comedy. Comedy sex! ...Not that I've played an eroge where the censorship is part of the comedy when the characters make love, yet.

Woot, Dracu-Riot! is 1/4 translated. Go, go, go! ...And now Yandere's translation is .2% further than Brighter than the Dawning Blue.

Or at the very last second, like a season two announcement.

Well, it seems Sakura is IN the third game, so it's definitely connected in some way to the previous stories- D.C. ~Da Capo's~ 10th Anniversary Video Streamed - Interest - Anime News Network

But I'm already going out with Mashiro! Aside from calling people/Mashiro/my other lovers Mashiro doesn't know about, I only use my phone for my alarm clock every day. =P We should start a group! For those awesome enough to only have non-camera phones - the Non-Camera Phone Alliance!

Hooray! Another person whose phone doesn't have a camera but his laptop does! I use my laptop 10000000000x more than my phone, anyways. I can't really focus on reading something or immerse myself with other people around because they break concentration, which is why I prefer to study, play visual novels, etc alone. If I had one of those, being able to play them on a portable device would just make me want to play them on my laptop more and anger me if I couldn't.
