I see you're a man of culture.

Hello everyone! I've been searching for pregnancy-oriented games with optional cross-section(x-ray) option. As they are difficult to find so i decided to create a list (all credit to VNDB and VNStat). Suggestions most welcome! Zettai Majiiki!? Ichazura Happening! (By Tinkerbell) If you were granted magical powers, what sexy trouble would you get yourself into ? *Features elements like breast expansion, invisibility, internal exhibition of *ex (X-ray) and tons more! Kage no Sekuhalist ~Haramase Oui Keishou Soudou~ (Lilith Soft) *Sexual harassment yet pure love adventure! Makoto was an ordinary boy until he is told that he is the reincarnation of the king of wizards and pushed to enter Academy Lunaris, a magical school. He gradually learns how to use the imperial magic passed down for generations. The formal conditions to become king are the union with heroines using dark power. Get them pregnant and succeed the throne! Doppuri Nakadashi Gakuen Sensou (Squeez) Male protagonist into girls' high school..... *Features internal exhibition of *ex (X-ray), pregnancy etc...

However, he is attacked by Ixseal, a knight from the God’s side. He manages to escape, but is then immediately betrayed by his subordinate Bezel. Meaning that in the end he is left with just one power, the power of “lust”. Bezel also manages to trap Ixseal on earth, away from her allies. Tsuguhiko and Ixseal then decide to team up and form a joint front against Bezel and his army of demons. But the only way to defeat these strong demons is to provide Ixseal with more power. And since the power of lust is the only one left for Tsuguhiko, we know exactly where this will go *Features birth, slavery, pregnancy etc... Oyako Ninjutsu Kunoichi PonPon!! (Flap) During the Sengoku Era of Japan, Tsubaki, a female ninja fails her mission and gets injured.

One day, another ninja, Kikyou, comes to his house. Actually, Kikyou is Tsubaki's daughter. Tsubaki says to him, "Please accept Kikyou as your wife...." *Features your usual love story, Tsundere, pregnancy harem ending etc...

Do people really only have the mental capacity to think and talk about one game? If SubaHibi had a month to blow up and didn't, nothing less than a half year of radio silence would help it get noticed much more. Blaming DDLC on it is such a weird thing to do. Would YouTube let's players or Twitch streamers pick it up? Would it produce a meme and modding culture around it, getting the attention of non-niche players? Would it have a major success on Steam, with the shitty marketing it got? And even beyond your thesis being delusional, what's the point of frustration here? We received a high-quality Western release of SubaHibi, can share it with others and appreciate it within the community. It was never going to be as popular in the West as it was in Japan, just because of how alien its formula is for the Western audience. It probably flopped much harder than it ever had to and might possibly discourage some companies from pursuing similar localisation projects... But as we can't really prove any of that, there's nothing to mourn here. Often good things don't get fully appreciated, while crap gets elevated to the Heavens (I still disagree on your assessment of DDLC BTW), but good things still get made and find their audience. Can't we just appreciate the good things, instead of obsessing over mass culture and how shitty it is?

As for the evil route Note that I don't know if it's really like that or not, but more or less the story was going like that from the spoilers that I gathered.

Happy belated birthday to our @r0xm2n, and I hope you'll have a good year ahead.

Happy Birthday to @r0xm2n!

For those interested in old arse shows, I finally finished watching Touch, which ended in 1986. This is from the same writer who created Cross Game. Both are baseball romantic comedy dramas. I met an older Japanese person recently who recounted when this show aired in Japan and how people were openly weeping about the events in it. Well I've got to say it was decent, but nowhere near the masterpiece that Cross Game is. The parallels are intense, and you can see that the writer mastered all the ideas they used in Touch, fine tuned the story, compacted it, made the baseball immensely exciting, and the execution was a masterpiece in manga and anime. Touch is a show that's dated quite a bit, like Maison Ikkoku has (from the same era) but had much better animation, visuals, and clearly budget to execute its long arse story of 101 episodes. It's a decent watch, and has plenty of scenery with lots of backgrounds and trains going by, but unlike Maison Ikkoku, they rarely reused anything for these scenes; they were all originally animated for each episode. The fanservice was very rare and weirdly out of place when it occurred. Oddly enough the baseball itself didn't really hold much excitement, and only became a big part of it much later in the story rather than an integral part of it. It did suffer from the pacing problem that old anime suffers, and I had to watch it at +10% speed to not get bored. The baseball was okay, the story was unpredictable enough (except for the obvious march to the finale), the drama was kinda odd tone, the romance was hit and miss, the comedy rarely very funny by today's standards. Harada takes the cake for stealing the show whenever he shows up as the straight but incredibly observant side character yet he's reliably funny. The ending was satisfying, but nothing like the reference happy ending we got in Maison Ikkoku. Again, this would have been a masterpiece 30 years ago, but it has dated so I only give it a 7/10. Compared with Cross Game which I recently rewatched - again - which I still rate as a masterpiece 10/10. Our sensibilities, and what we've come to expect from anime, has changed so much in that time... Everyone should watch Cross Game at some stage, no matter how much they care about sport anime or baseball.

TBH, I feel like the fanservice kind of always feels that way, throughout the whole series. Probably not just a Kizu thing. Attempt at an explanation: one of the best ways I can think of to describe Monogatari is "surreal", and the incessant, over-the-top horniness is another expression of its surreality. Maybe? Maybe. Either way, doesn't really make it better or worse. It's just a fact of Monogatari life.

@Plk_Lesiak I started reading the monogatari light novels just recently. From what I've heard, it's inadvisable to start with Kizu if you're part of the anime-only audience, but I was told that it's fine to start off with that if you're reading the source material. I started out by reading Kizu (I'm fairly close to the end of it, too), and I can't say I haven't enjoyed it at all. I have watched Bakemonogatari some time prior to this, but it was long enough that I don't remember it very well. Not gonna lie, I was a bit weirded out with Bakemonogatari as an anime. I was drawn in by the visual style, the absurdities, and the dialogue, but it just didn't really feel like a proper anime to me. So instead of going forward with the series, I decided to just keep it on hold long enough for me to forget everything, and then I'd pick it back up again with the source material. And from what I've experienced so far, I have no regrets. I really do love how Nisio writes. His work is so fresh and intriguing, and his style is unlike anything I've seen in any other piece of fiction. I was very impressed with his work in Medaka Box manga (especially when Kumagawa shows up), and Katanamonogatari was a blast too. Oh, and there really isn't any need for the fanservice at all, but I do think it's hilarious how he'll devote three whole pages to one fanservice scene and make a 4th-wall-breaking joke about it afterwards, lmao.

It's quite funny to read this line then behold the atrociousness of the steam video (which I assume you could have too... did you?). Core quality ain't bad? Classic steam standards feels EXTREMELY bad man

I did make the poll, so feel free if you want to vote on this. As for my first look, no much to say other than May's voice is sounds like Eruru as expected and that some of BGM have vocal.

Uuuuhhh... I guess it's partially redeemed? I'm definitely going to finish it, but it might still be stuck with a 7/10. I simply don't like the two "secondary" girls that much and it could use a bit more humour? It's cosy for sure, but I guess I'm more easily drawn in when there's something fantastical in the mix, like Aria or Flying Witch, or even the kind of grand adventure A Place Further Than The Universe offers... I lived a good life, I'll leave few regrets... :s EDIT: BTW, I can't get over the fact that the opening song to this is called "Shiny Days". I guess most people don't have that strong connotation with the term... I've also finished Bunny-girl Senpai and... Well, it's a definite 9/10 for me. I've read some really brutal reviews of it, but I think at least some of them are missing the point. I don't mind that the supernatural stuff is never really explained and I don't even think the "explanations" the show gives are meant to clear up anything. They're there only to steer the action towards the sources of every event and the underlying problems. I don't mind that the protagonist is a bit of a Garu Stu, he genuinely earns most of his "victories", by his compassion and relentless effort, not just by the magic of plot conveniences. I generally have a shit taste when it goes to movies and anime, and stuff that is forcing an emotional reaction out of the viewer in cheap ways, like Elfen Lied, often got to me in the past. Still, while I can accept the criticism against such titles as legitimate, in this case I feel like people shitting on this show go way overboard, mostly because they want to dispel the notion of it being a "masterpiece". I don't think it is one either, but it was a really engaging and emotional series, and I'm glad it succeeded despite that confusing title and marketing...

This game has some great music IMO. All songs I've heard so far have vocals

In Tsumamigui 3

It's even more depressing when you compare it to DDLC's numbers.
