Katawa Shoujo Forums

As for Emi, however, I'll admit that it's easy to forget she has no legs. Her legs really don't affect how she acts like some of the other girls disabilities do, but with that said, I haven't played Emi's path yet. The fact that we only see her from the waist up for 90% of the game helps too. :) I ...

Also, I'm no expert on Japanese (yet), but I think "katawa" means girl, and "shoujo" is the part that means "cripple". I could be completely wrong, though.

I think its the other way around actually.

I've been a self-confessed nerd all my life, along with nearly all my friends. So to me the word doesn't really have the negative connotations that most people associate with it. Shes probably not a hard-core gamer nerd, but I can see her being a bit of a fangirl. I can see her being a big fan of ro...

I've known a lot of young women who think the Phantom is dreamy, homicidal tendencies and all. I think adding in more of a crowd helps during the run, and so does having an glowering old woman. I've been wondering if there would be anything Hanako would do for her scars. Like the salve you have her...

I think you guys have pretty much nailed it. Everyone in the vn could just as easily be a "normal" girl. They simply each have a particular physical aspect that makes life a little more difficult, but which they've adjusted to fairly easily.

In my last fanfic entry, I decided to make Hanako a bit of a Phantom of the Opera fangirl, working on the assumption that shes a bit of a nerd at heart. * She enjoys gaming. *She reads voraciously, including stuff like the Dune series. * She spends a lot of time alone, which generally results in a p...

Got a link handy?

Yep. I guess no more Lipton Cup-o-Hawthorn for me... Jeez, I never knew people drank the stuff. I thought you nailed it to your door to keep witches away. :) There could be more stuff which he shouldn't take in due to the meds. Still best to check. Meanwhile, seems more and more likely that I don't ...

I'm surprised you didn't comment about the Vocaloid one :mrgreen: Sorry, I missed your link the first time around. Love it! :) I actually found a lot of these Phantom covers earlier in the week when I was having my drug reaction problem and was scouring Youtube for overly emotional music clips. :)

I like that picture. And amusingly enough I also had the whole "Hanako and Phantom of the Opera" idea as well. :lol: Great minds think alike? However when I think of Hanako listening/watching The Phantom of the Opera I personally think of this version of the song. The man assaulted me with his voca...

We toss up ideas/arguments/logic, you analyse and make the call. Also, it's time Hanako gets introduced to the Phantom, at least as written by Andrew Webber. That Phantom has got to be the most teddy-bear of all the adaptations. Pretty much my feelings. The ALW Phantom would be the one to get most ...

Guess I need to check this out.

Feeling a lot better than I was the other day, when I could barely function and was crying every half hour or so. I'm wondering if it was an interaction between my heart meds, and herb tea I'd been drinking. I was looking for French Vanilla and bought this stuff instead. If you're on meds, maybe yo...

Well, teenagers tend to be little churning bundles of hormones and emotions. So its no wonder they'd be high strung and overreact to drama. Just ask any parent.

Although whether this is still true by the time they hit 18-19 is a whole other question.

Hanako: "Hisao dear. Am I going to have to get the hose?" ;) If anyone has any doubts about the appeal of the Phantom, just check out the comments section of just about any PotO Youtube video. :) I added about a dozen more passengers to the bus stop. I figure having a small crowd staring at her migh...
