That's a common trick, actually. I haven't actually played FSN myself, but I have no problem believing that's why he's there.

Using Little Busters! to learn how route systems work is jumping right into the deep end.

Oh yeah that reminds me. I also hate the headmistress from Princess Evangile.

... aside from Japanese, which I assume every one of us here is pretty fond of So I had this idea and thought that could be interesting since from what I can see we are a fairly multicultural community. That should ward off the stereotypes or at least level it out somehow. So, with your consent, let's get started. As a huge language nerd that I am, I cannot for the life of me list all the languages that I happen to like, but let me at least call out some names, soshite, kono forums wa weeb dakara, let's weeb it up a little by providing some animu songs as samples. Arabic: I love its sound to bits. So badass yet so beautiful. The grammar is nothing short of amazing, you've gotta love semitic non-concatenative morphology. Song Slavic languages: particularly Czech, Polish and Russian. A lot of palatalization and sibilants, along with monstrous consonant clusters. They sound elegant, rich and complex but also sweet and cute. Song Song 2 Song 3 Hungarian: I like slavic, and Hungarian phonology, in spite of the fact that it doesn't have any relation to the slavic family (it's finno-ugric) kinda has a similar touch to it. That aside, I'm a big fan of agglutinating languages with vowel harmony. Song Turkish: have I said that I love agglutinating languages with vowel harmony? Besides, Turkish grammar is incredible, probably the most regular language on Earth. Song Chinese (mandarin) : I'll be honest with you, for the most part of my life, I didn't like chinese at all, nor any tonal languages for that matter. However, due to repetitive exposure and interest in its grammar, little by little I grew to like it quite a bit. Nowadays I find chinese to be a fascinating language with a ton of amazing linguistic features. Don't let the basic appearance of its grammar fool you, chinese is a very complex language at heart. Song German: fairly typical right? Everyone loves German these days. I guess it's the trend right now, probably born due to the number of german bands that started to crop up during this century. Not my case anyway. For me German sounds magical and unique. It's my favorite germanic language along with Icelandic. Song Aaaand I'll stop here. There are a lot more languages that I'd like to talk about, like Welsh and celtic languages, Icelandic, Swahili, Hawaiian, Nahuatl... But the list would not end and sadly I can't provide weeb stuff of those Now it's your turn. Let's see what you guys like, it should prove to be fun and interesting. Also, if you are ok with it, I'd be nice to know what languages you already speak, in order to see how this affects your taste. For the record, my native languages are Catalan and Spanish.

So we all like talking about characters we like the most and love the most but I think we often forget one of the strongest emotions of mankind. That's right, I'm talking about HATE! I know we all have em' so what are yours? Here are a few of mine. Shinji (Fate Stay Night) The moment I beheld his smarmy face I knew I was going to not like him and I was absolutely right. However, I was unaware just how much my loathing would grow. Every single time he appeared my hatred grew and grew until of course the final route and then it just burst. Honestly, I can't think of a fictional character I hate more then Shinji so congratulations to Type Moon! Grave (Symphonic Rain) The very definition of a vile and detestable monster. He is rich, talented, arrogant, and a really abusive father. What he did to Lise was abhorrent and the fact that he seemingly got away with it makes it even worse. Shin (Kara No Shoujo)

The price for Higurashi is great o_O But the games from Pulltop and Princess Evangile are not worth... because no +18 content^^ What do you guys think about it?

Divinity stage I found to be a bit funny, though there are lots of other moege that I have found to be a lot more funny. Useless Goddess I found to be absolutely boring, the character interactions were not really funny apart from a few scenes. The main draw to to Useless Goddess is of course a goddess who is lazy and doesn't do anything. All interactions with her is low energy and boring. As a principle I play through all VNs I buy and unlock all the CGs from them. This is the only case so far that I almost gave up. I basically had to force myself to get through it.

Look, I'd prefer if VNs finally took off from the high school setting and offered us MILFs and characters in their 20s, 30s, and so on, with more varied settings and cooler stories. It seems pretty stupid to me that most VNs are aimed to an adult public and still depict teenage characters, I understand that for shounen because that's the demographic, but not this. I know of nukige (huh) with children about 8-10 but I've not played them. I know there are people that do it at 15-16 but not everyone. Even though the most success I've had is with teenage girls, they're fickle as fuck, I suggest moving away from them entirely. There's an upcoming anime about a high school girl romancing a man in his 40s but I laugh it off, besides, how appropriate and totally not sexist, it's always the girl that's young and the man who's mature.

I found the lovekami games to be pretty shitty, neither of them have a good story. The characters in divinity stage are somewhat okay, however useless goddess has incredibly boring characters. Just wanted to warn you. Also they are censored. So in conclusion I would not recommend them.

3E846-2RRDB-T4FRI > Eden* 2FJDV-8LYRW-AI6RG > Evangile 1 (all ages) Decided to give a chance to LoveKami as it seems interesting enough for when I finish the heavier ones in my backlog. The ones above are free to get, as I alredy have both

For newer titles. Princess Evangile was released before MG started doing 18+ patches. There's a small chance that older Steam titles could receive patches on a case-by-case basis, but don't hold your breath. Censored MangaGamer Steam titles w/out patches: Cho Dengeki Stryker Princess Evangile MYTH eden* and D.C. III R also lack patches, but these games were originally all-ages with 18+ content added later/separately. PM me if anyone has a spare SonoHana key.

They should call this the censorship bundle considering how many of the titles are censored.

Thanks for the info, I would have missed it otherwise. And as I really don't care about the +18 content, it's an all-around great deal IMO. :> I now have redundant Steam keys for Go! Go! Nippon! (taken), If My Heart Had Wings (taken) and A Kiss for the Petals (greedily taken), if anyone wants them please send me a PM. All taken in less than hour, you greedy bastards! <3

Well not quite worth it, because most of the title were already available for a long time in other forms. And in regard of eden we already have 18+ version of that, so all age version is quite redundant. There's also Konosora, in which it should be obvious that it was still censored. So if I managed to have the money to buy the bundle, then I'll not spend it on the bundle. PS - Seeing that Mangagamer sold MoeNovel products here was make me wonder of why Pulltop still didn't have their partnership with Mangagamer yet, considering that it might be the best option if we want 18+ version of Konosora and Miagete. Oh well.

Hmm I already have most of those and the ones I don't have I won't ever play...but Hell it's a humble bundle, I'll fucking give it away to people for all I care.

In my case, I was unlucky bc french was mandatory from 5th to 9th grade in my school not in the country. And the teachers loved to pull stuff like: in class is "je mange du pain", in test is a page long unknown fairy tale with some really old words... And I probably answered the questions about it with something nonsense in the context like "je suis allé a la plage" bc that is one of the only things I remember of french now.

Rofl: Speaking on behalf of everyone else here, we don't want them anyways. (/ω＼) We have the full versions. (*´Д｀) Eden* for 1 dollar is pretty nice though. Already have it, but might as well give some money to charity. So yeah, if someone wants a steam key for Eden*, Higurashi 1-2 or A Kiss for the Petals, drop me a PM. First come first served. (No more than 1 game per person.) EDIT: only Eden left.

It most definitely is not a nakige, at least for most of the "routes" (you'll see that ef is more like several kinetic novels put together rather than your typical vn structure. The characters of every story are of course connected). I'd say ef has romance and drama in equal proportions, but, this is important, it's more of a troubled romance, often with twisted circumstances, though the romance itself remains pure, that being the reason why I like it so much.

A lot of mine were just generally crazy, one in particular was an extreme control freak. On top of that, French classes are mandatory in Canada from 4th grade to 9th grade, so I had to deal with those teachers for five years

I feel sorry you had to learn that... Agreed.

i'm indonesian and live in java so i'm native in 2 languages, bahasa indonesia, and javanese, also learn english and arabic at high school... i learn japanese by my own, and now after several years i can understand *clear* japanese song without problems there is no other language i want to learn at the moment, but chinese is good too...

Not an anime but whatever I just watched Your Name and that was a damn fine film! A damn fine film! I definitely felt a lot of emotions though no tears It's a shame that I wasn't able to see it in theaters I wish I had known more about it then

AH. Then I'm preaching to the choir.

In that regard I would hate the writer more since it was possible to make them the way they should be instead of just going with some weird fantasy.

Shinji is a coward, rapist, sociopath, etc. who uses his own family like objects. Why wouldn't you hate him?

suprised that the headmistress and that one girl from yume miru kusuri

Thanks. I encoded for a fansub group for a decade so this is not news... the FMAB blurays are however flawless.

Koisuru Natsu no Last Resort is a garbage moege. I don't know who recommended it to you, but you should probably kill them. Amatsutsumi may get release by sekai. (If you look at there trello page, they will reach out to the developers if it gets enough notice)

18. (according to the warnings at the start of almost every VN)

I went to go take a look at Maitetsu's Steam page, only to find it hasn't actually got one. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the game doesn't wind up releasing on Steam after all. And if it does, it will only be because the game's promotional materials (at least the ones up on the game's site right now) aren't pushing the sexualization angle. They push the slice of life angle, none of the characters are explicitly underage, and the main character isn't a grown man with an explicit avowed interest in little girls. Sure, it might be a lolige. But they're not marketing it as one. Whereas The Key to Home sure seemed to have been designed to be marketed that way from the get go. I checked out their Steam page awhile back. It had a screenshot that was obviously supposed to look an awful lot like a footjob without actually being one. It's just much more open and obvious about it, and guess what? Steam has the right not to sell something if they don't want to. It is their service. They obviously know about the porn games flooding onto Steam. They've chosen to throw up roadblocks (the patches thing) but have continued to allow it. They don't need to do that. Nobody has a right to sell their stuff there. If Valve decides "we're not comfortable allowing this title on Steam", they can do that. I'm fine with them doing it because they're worried about bad press if the story somehow blew up. I'm also fine with them doing it because Valve as a company decided 'this makes our skin crawl, we don't want this on our store'. I would not be fine if Valve said something like "if you publish that game anywhere else, we'll never talk to you again". That would be censorship. Valve deciding it doesn't want to carry Imouto Paradise or Suck my Dick or Die or The Key to Home isn't censorship. No one has a right to be heard using any platform they demand access to. That's not how it works. Other folks have the right not to associate with you, if they don't like you. Steam is not a public utility.
