This discussion is getting a little too "you have to look past a person's outward appearance to the beautiful person within"-ish for a thread specifically calling us to judge the girls solely on their appearance. You'd be a fool to claim that Hanako's scars are not one of the major defining characte...

Still, I have some unanswered questions. Like, what was the talk about Rin's need to "break" herself? It comes up strongly in the masturbation scene, yet I don't understand the connection. It is as if it's implied that it is her first time masturbating? I mean, really? It's really not that hard to ...

The scars in game were really nothing Indeed, and Hanako only exists in game :P but imagining them on a real person, with even with google images to use as a guide can make you see it. The deformity of the scars. Many Google Image results for burn scars show pictures of people just after being burn...

Wow, I can't fucking believe Hanako actually beat Shizune. Do people really think near fatal burn scars are as easy to look past or seem insignificant to overall attractiveness as they they are in game? Frankly, yes. The way Hanako's scars are depicted in the game art is actually pretty cute, to be...

(both choices during the argument in the atalier sounded about the same to me, no idea why one of them has Hisao loose it). They may sound the same, but they have completely different meanings. The bad choice is passing the ball into Rin's court, demanding that she explain herself, even though she'...

After reading all (yes, honestly) posts above, I feel a bit better about Rin's path, though. I'd especially like to thank Mirrormn for all the analysis offered Hey, no problem. It actually took me quite a while to... feel okay about Rin's route, even the good ending. At first, I felt a little like ...

He said Emi's route helped him out of depression by showing him the value of communicating with others =O

I do love Condescending Wonka, though. And Rin!

OP needs to rename this topic. To something like: "Which disability would you least hate if you were in some "accident"?" or something. This thread can be interpreted as extremely insensitive or insulting to those with different circumstances. Your wording seems more offensive, to be honest... Pers...

So today, on my 3rd day of Week 4, I decided to say "fuck you" to the hill that almost defeated me on W4D2. When the end was in sight, despite my legs and lungs aching furiously, I started attempting to sprint. At first my body freaked out completely, since it knew running at that speed was absolute...

Just as a note, this thread is about tropes, not stereotypes. Tropes are character and plot constructs that are commonly used in works of fictions. Stereotypes are attributes that are (often erroneously) ascribed to a specific race or group of people. The missing trope that I was most surprised abou...

Oh man, I would not recommend shotgunning all the bad endings at once. Either take some time in between them, or intersperse some replays of good endings. As for order, I don't think it matters all that much. Rin's neutral ending was the worst for me, but many people find Shizune's bad ending to be ...

Agreed. An important aspect of Katawa Shoujo's storytelling methodology is the creation of an ambiance. The apparent lack of motion and plot development in Hanako's route adds to this ambiance, and makes the story more emotionally immersive. Furthermore, the plot doesn't really go in circles. It mov...

I don't think there is any reason to believe that Misha mistranslated what Shizune said about Hanako in Lunch Evolution Theory. Hisao only ever comments (in his mind, to the reader) about how effortlessly she translates, how it seems like second nature to her, and how good she is at it. She occasion...

Lunch Evolution Theory:

Misha: What, Shicchan? The friend of my enemy is my enemy? That sounds so harsh, I'm not going to say that.

Kenji is the first character you get to see nude. I wonder if he would wear his fig leaf in his eventual sex scene(s)?
