... And the fact that it is a joke. I don't think it will ever come up in the game again. And at definitely not in a serious light.

Good read. Very informative.

As a supporter of Emi's easiness in the put out thread, the third one is particularly funny to me.

I liked Shizune well before I reached her ending. Then the rooftop scene happened, and it was glorious. It had the best use of the fireworks in my opinion. And removing Misha from the scene made their whole attempt at communicating cute, and Shizune's gesture at the end seemed fitting of her. I must...

That is the exact image I referred to. Not sure what thread it's in, though. I don't think it was ever scanned and translated else it would have ended up here.

I dunno, I ...

True, with "KS" and "the game" being used interchangeably by most of us on the forums.

I don't know if a new poll is needed; before the original poll was crashed, Rin was pretty consistently second after Hanako, and it looks like only her ballot box was stuffed (if you know what I mean), so the order of Hanako/Rin/Lilly/Shizune/Emi is probably correct. Though I wonder if Emi's place ...

Ooh, I liked the comparison with Mass Effect. I know it's never going to happen, but I would really love to see what BioWare could pull off in the VN medium. They can certainly create stories that beat most VNs out there, so I always wonder what they could accomplish when you'd get rid of all other...
