I could ramble on, but I won't - I do want to say though that you've certainly put a lot of thought in and that shows a deep appreciation for the original material, which is great!

Re: Hisao-Shizune Wedding Ten Years On. Reconciliation with Jigoro Too.

'Tis the season for Jigoro to get some attention — I've seen more mentions of him lately. Fair warning - I've never seen narcissistic parents change their spots, so I’m looking at this from the perspective of how convincingly you've executed this heel-face turn; it's a hard task you've set for your...

Re: Hisao-Shizune Wedding Ten Years On. Reconcilation with Jigoro Too.

This is my first attempt at fanficton. How did I do? Open to any constructive criticism :) I tried to characterize Jigoro in a less cartoony way while keeping some of his mean-spirited snarky streak. But I also wanted to have the passage of time break down those barriers a little bit so that a recon...

Hisao-Shizune Wedding Ten Years On. Reconciliation with Jigoro Too.

Shizune Good Ending: Epilogue Hisao stood in the doorway of Jigoro's study area, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe that he was about to have such a serious and important conversation with the man he had dreaded/hated for 10 years. The first time he was allowed to enter this room w...

Re: Summer's Clover (Miki Path)

Miki really is an excellently characterized protagonist especially considering that Summer's Clover is relatively short. It cannot be overstated how well written she is. Felt like a real person through and through.

Re: Which Hisao is your favourite?

Because we didn't get the options to do so. This is one of the reasons I like that version of Hisao the least. He never takes any initiative. He takes no actions on his own. Everything he does is because Shizune tells him to do that. In Act 1, Hisao has to push things and take chances to get on Shi...

Re: Which Hisao is your favourite?

I know that voting is closed but I would say either Shizune of Hanako's route have my favorite Hisao. In Shizune's route he really starts coming into his own and trying to get himself out of his funk, eventually becoming rather dependable and confidant. I just wish that he did it more for himself i...

Re: Which Hisao is your favourite?

Thanks for reminding me to read Summer's Clover, I completely forgot about it :lol: I also think we get a lot of information about their family in Shizune's route, but it's been almost 10 years since I played it so I don't remember much. I think it's pretty good so far. It has its flaws of course b...

Re: Which Hisao is your favourite?

It's debatable whether it's that or if Lily really did want to go back to Inverness and be with her family but Hisao just guilt-tripped her to stay through his heart attacks and begging. I am of the same opinion, although I would like to clarify a few things. To start with, Lilly's real wish is for...

Re: Which Hisao is your favourite?

Lilly ...Honestly, I don't even know. The conflict in her route is mostly Hisao. Let me continue the pattern for ya'. Lilly Bad Lilly does what her family wants without question, putting her prim and proper apperance and what other expect of her over what she wants. In the future she's probably goi...

Re: Musings

The replay is a gem particularly when it comes to Shizune/Misha. It's interesting how Shizune is set up as the unreasonable antagonist in the first act but only in the biased viewpoints of the other characters. When you actually play her route into act 1, you see just how much work she puts into the...

Re: Regarding Shizune's Mother

My theory is she left the family due to Jigoro's behavior and Jigoro got rid of any image of her in the house out of spite. He obviously has no interest in revealing any information of this to Hisao. Shizune + Hideaki simply don't want to talk about it with Hisao because it's a very sensitive subjec...

Re: Regarding Shizune's Mother

It's clearly made purposefully ambiguous by A22 which in my opinion is to distill that sense of mystery regarding the family which a boyfriend might have when meeting his girlfriend's family for the first time, especially a traditional one. As for Misha, we already know she hides a lot of serious an...

Re: Which song moved you the most?

Air Guitar seems to be woefully underrated here compared to Breathlessly or Moment of Decision (though I do love them btw). I really have no idea when I started to love the simple melody of Air Guitar. If I have to say it, it's when the song played during the stroll through the forest path with Lil...

Re: Why I love Shizune and her route -- an essay

Yeah I agree with your points. It's really impressive how this route has all these factors that influence the characters' behavior but it's not spoonfed to you and it doesn't define the character. Shizune is molded by her family life whether it's Jigoro's stubbornness or Hideaki's asocial alienation...
