Dammit! I'm being ninja'd left and right. I'll just post what I already typed out and add more later. 2580 ... *Stretches* *Plays appropriate debating music* That said, I'm not sure if you've been reading the same VN as the rest of us... Neither "general reduction of female characters to sexual obje...

It should be noted that I kept it short ... a more thorough and deeper analysis would have brought more to the light of day, but it seems that it had been long enough already. ... If you don't mind, I would like to read this deeper analysis. Most of the arguments I can think of are something like "...

I'd be a little more curious than he seems to be though :/ And for your second point, like I said, Legs are pretty damn flexible That's pretty awesome, although I was hoping that she just kicks down all the doors. That's how I would want to do it. I doubt it. For someone who's been armless for her ...

Sure the girls are already used to it, but Hisao isn't. I expected him to be a little more curious about it. Maybe he doesn't even have to ask since they would just come up every now and then. For example: How does Rin open doors? Are all the doors at Yamaku just push doors, and does her dorm have ...

It's from Digimon: Digital Monsters!!! THE BEST CHILDREN'S SHOW EVER!!! /completely and utterly biased.

1) You mention not being able to "empathize" with the characters, but the surrounding text sounds like you expected to pity them, didn't, and took that pity for lack of empathy. Do I understand that correctly? 2) You mention that "some narration would have been nice": what do you mean by narration?...

First thing I thought of was MetalGreymon.

You just obliterated my childhood.

I wonder what role being attracted to females has in the way many of us reacted to the game. I strongly doubt that many of us would have enjoyed the game as much as we did if we played a girl who had to date one of 6 guys. Women seem to have more empathy when it comes to things like that though, so...

There's a lot of things that could be said, Mirage outlined most of it, so I won't repeat him. But the major problem is that...

You refuse to see disabled people as ordinary people.

I'm busy, so I'll rant how you can't tell me that the characters aren't empathetic later.

I should also mention that my wife works as an engineer, and because of this she tends to be one of the more jaded people I know. If KS can work its way into her heart like it has a lot of other folks, then we'll know the power of the game. Don't worry, it probably will. While not everyone will lik...

Well, almost all the time I had the feeling that Katawa Shoujo was translated from Japanese. In fact, sometimes I even unconciously translated it "back" to Japanese in my head. Only a few things threw that feeling off: the too extensive vocabulary, lack of translation errors and, just some things t...

I think the fact that A22 is by far the most reclusive of 4LS writers might have something to do with it. (I checked, his total posts are in the double digits) I think him explaining the route might help things. But than again he migt not be the type who likes explaining his work and wants the read...

Oh and Freud was a quack Coke-head with a mother complex who doesn't account for 'eccentric thinkers'. I disagree with his theories and I'd like to punch the people square in the face who made it part of the psychology course. To be honest, no one believes most of Freud anymore. His only merit nowa...

Hmm... I would say that I genuinely liked the slice of life moments. They were very sweet and romantic and did a good job of developing Lilly's character. None of them felt insignificant in my opinion. I honestly disliked Hanako's route for being too short. Hanako's character development is there, b...

EDIT: Does it also seem like the Lilly picture makes her blindness possibly hereditary? That girl's acting kind of like a blind child, just based on the pose ... ... You're just being paranoid.
