1. Majority just wants the touchy-feely n less thinking/engagement. The 'no-brainer' types. So are you saying that the touchy-feely stuff and the thinking/engagement stuff are mutually exclusive and that people who value emotional hooks actively wish for less thinking/engagement in their VNs? I don...

Now, I could be mistaken, but I think I agree with you. I will admit that the whole "devotion to your waifu" is one of the more bizarre elements of this community. As I understand, it's unusual even for the VN crowd. It's something rather foreign to me, though, so I've generally been reluctant to dw...

A goofy and dumb question, but those can be the best kind. I'm going to try to avoid the stereotypes, and rather reflect on the details of their individual stories to figure out which of the seven shows most prominently. Lilly - Sloth. All of Lilly's major conflicts center around a tendency to defer...

Huh. Another A22 sighting. And an extended one at that. Can't say the comments really come as a surprise, though. They pretty much echo the rare tidbits available from prerelease blogs and comments. Still nice to have some sort of official confirmation as to the intent. Of course, skeptics will just...

You know, it's both amusing and fascinating that Shizune discussions tend to gravitate toward a major "srs bsns" discussion, with passionate debate on both the "pro" and "con" sides of the equation. even more so when the major players just so happen to be Lilly/Hanako on one side, and Shizune/Misha ...

As a side comment before I begin, I will note that, if memory serves, A22 was one of the few Americans in 4LS. I'm fairly certain that Hivemind is American, Suriko and Crud are Australian, and Aura is Finnish (to account for the writers). Assuming the Japanese cultural references were intentional (a...

Well, let's start from the beginning. It's generally accepted that the purpose of art is to make a statement and/or elicit some sort of (emotional) response from the audience. There are some modern theories which might disagree, but let's try to stick to the basics. As with all art, then, the questi...

“You never get used to it, kid.” I sigh. Not this again. “What I never get used to, detective, is the fact that you make that damned comment every single time. Not every single time we get to a murder scene, but every goddamned time anything happens. You said it when we saw that car double-parked, w...

To follow on with what Silentcook has said, there are several indicators that would reinforce the idea that, rules aside, you really don't need to ask in this specific instance: - I have made it clear that I have no intention to abandon this. - I have also observed that, were I to abandon this, I wo...

Hopefully ProfAllister will show up soon and make what I just wrote, like, coherent. :lol: O.o So many expectations... Actually, it's all there in the text - you just have to read between the lines. Jigoro Hakamichi was a very different man from the one we seen in the VN when he first met Mayoi Suu...

Oh god, Misha's legs look fucking hilarious for some reason Like she has the legs of a 10 year old That's because, as nice as the individual elements of the picture look, anatomy and perspective are important. Just doing some quick eyeballing: The vanishing point appears to be right next to Shizune...

I think I can see where Aura is coming from with his self-criticism here. Thematically, it's the extremely standard "I'm in love with the perfect woman, and, against all reason, she loves me back. It's pretty hard to get more cliche than that. I may harp on it a bit excessively, but this is definite...

Wow, it's really been awhile since I got on the Renai. Is anyone still interested in me finishing this? If you are still interested in you finishing this, then finish it. That's all that matters. You will never know how many fans you do or don't have, and the vocal ones are not necessarily the most...

This Misha's disability thing is really annoying, y'know? I've come around to Mirage's point of view that there is no support for any physical disability for Misha in the VN. I could make a case for clinical depression (as opposed to teenage angst because she's been jilted) but there are multiple i...
