Re: Best Cinematics

All of the cinematics were excellently done and if you watch them after completing the girl's path, they get even more meaningful. However, due to personal tastes, I'd say I liked Hanako's the best. Lilly is probably the second one based solely on the fact that Lilly's my favorite girl of the five (...

Re: All in all, what was your favorite route?

Rin's. It is by far the darkest, and completely defied all expectations I had for Rin and her path, in a very good way. The struggles that Rin and Hisao go through were eerily similar to my own real life insecurities and problems. I still haven't really discovered my true self, much like Rin, and I...

Re: If you were Hisao...

I haven't finished most of girls' paths, so I can only get by on whatever was in act I and whatever was spoiled for me, but if we assume this is enough... I had met a few people like Shizune, minus the disability thing. I often either immediately dislike them, or get along with them very well at fir...

Re: I can't play this "game" anymore.

I'm the same way. I'm not as into Shizune's path as I was for Hanako's. But then again, I think I would be turned on more by the other h-scenes, purely because my relationships with the other girls would be just about that: sex. I have no real emotional interest in any of them, except maybe Misha. ...

Re: LILLYS ENDING MAN

The moment I heard the music box, manly tears of joy were shed. Which happened right after shedding manly tears of sorrow at the events leading up to the ultimate conclusion. I am assuming quite some people here have their own problems. My childhood wasn't exactly traumatic, but at moments, it coul...

Re: LILLYS ENDING MAN

I think it's meant to scar you for life. You get to it, you think you've got a bad end, they it seems okay, but you're SURE this is the bad ending anyway, and then it... Somehow isn't and you piss your pants in happiness. One of the weirdest and more emotional things that happened to me as a gamer. ...

Re: Could Katawa Shoujo ever be an anime?

I think it's obvious that "manly picnic" is canon because neither the devs nor the fanbase can decide what they REALLY want.

Kenji ending is canon. Period.

Re: Could Katawa Shoujo ever be an anime?

I am assuming we are only talking about the overall atmosphere and possibility of conversion theoretically rather than thinking about how much it would cost or how difficult it'd be to assemble a team to do it. The answer is : Somewhat possible, but very problematic. First of all, Hisao only has a l...

Re: Lilly's Route

I finished Lilly's route a few hours ago. While the path is well-written and overall rather pleasant, I was a bit surprised (not exactly pleasantly) by how much effort was seemingly put in de-Mary-Suing Lilly, and by "cliche'ness" (which, while acceptable, was slightly too noticeable) of s...

Re: Rin & Lilly

The OP observation seems to be actually true for me. Lilly is at the top of my list, and Hanako is with Rin at the 2nd place. Shizune and Emi end the list, although ironically I got Emi's ending first. I think this might be prone to change. I am not an art person (except for writing), so I guess Rin...

Re: Now that Shizune's path is done...

I kinda sorta hoped that given the relative popularity Mischa has she'd have an ending of her own as one of Shizune's "bad" endings. Meaning she'd end up with Hisao while not having a path of her own and her end not exactly meaning completing the game. But I doubt it'd happen. It's all in ...

Re: Is there a middle ground?

I guess Hisao can take steps to soften the conflict, but the fires will always be there. And there would be costs. Like Shizune refusing to let Mischa join you two during *coughplaytimecough* if you dare to try to have her make amends with Lilly. That would suck. Everybody knows that Risk is boring...

Re: Is there a middle ground?

I'd guess not, since both of them take up a lot of time. If you join the Student Council, being one of only 3 members would mean a lot of work (thus a lot of time spent with Misha/Shizune). I assume it would not leave a lot of time to hang around after school with Lily, or spend much time in the li...

Re: Now that Shizune's path is done...

Hmm, well, since I'm not really a totally hardcore visual-novel gamer that will abandon life and all other pursuits to achieve 100% completion [Waits for the finishing blow] I guess I may not complete all the paths. But, if I were to take a guess... 1. Lilly, because I'm a Lilly person. 2. Hanako, b...

Re: Shizune's Path Direction Complete

I messed up a semi-important test today, and was really down, but it is pleasing to know the game is well on its way to being finished. Unless there's a Kenji/Mischa/Yuuko/Nurse path still being done in secret :twisted: :mrgreen: . Still, Shizune will probably be one of the last character paths I'll...
