Just to let you know a superior patch than the current Restoration is in the works and hopefully will be released by the end of the year if not early next year. It'll have much better translations and less grammatical errors, especially in Ageha's route. If you can hold out for a few months please wait so you can read a superior product!

I'd say in Deardrops Shouichi isnt super oblivious Same with You in Hoshimemo Those are the only ones I can think of.

I'm actually kinda sad how little bromance there is in VNs. That said, Little Busters and MajiKoi both have multiple bros which is nice.

Seconding this

Hey everyone. We're back (mostly) on schedule, and just in time for the weekend, we've got the next episode ready to go! As always, you can find the link to the episode on our blog. http://thebroadcast.club/2017/10/20/episode-8-visual-novel-tropes/ This time around we talked about some of those things that we just seem to see in every single VN and how we feel about them. Joining us this time was community member, @fun2novel (called rvenster on the podcast), who has been reading VNs for quite a long time and had a lot of great things to contribute to our chat! The time really flew by in recording for this episode. There were a lot of things we could have talked about that we just didn't get to, so keep in mind this is far from comprehensive. Make sure to follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/VNBroadcastClub ------------------------ Discussion Topics: Want to interject some of your own thoughts about common tropes or cliches? How do you feel about the most common tropes and cliches in VNs? Are there any you particularly like or dislike that we didn't talk in the cast? Do you hate that some VNs feel very "samey" or is that part of the charm to you? Feel free to let us know in the comments! As always, hope you enjoy!

It's too bad Noble Masters/Kimi ga Aruji isn't English translated since Mihato is an actual older (half) sister heroine

Do you have any anti-virus up? You can also check your firewall settings.

I wouldn't say Kazuko/Wanko is not a loli tbh. She's just a small chested but otherwise average/athletic girl.

Forgot about that part. Makes her even better!

I'm going to be fair and try to make a varied harem where every heroine is from a differnet VN. If I didnt a lot of my heroines would be way too similar Nice/Energetic/Friendly Childhood friends Kotori Kanbe from Rewrite - Friendly and goofy but surprisingly deep childhood friend Riho from Deardrops - Ultimate Savage Punk Rock Tsundere Elina from Dracu-Riot - Ultimate Pervert Tease Kazuki - Ultimate Stoic Smart one Yukie - Ultimate Shy and nice but friendless one. Need someone with boobs and good physical fighting Only possible issue is I have is two white hair girls and too many boob sizes on the smaller side but it's hard to find equal better versions of Kazuki/Elina personality-wise I like.

Hey everyone! It's been a little longer than anticipated, but the seventh episode of the Broadcast Club is finally out! http://thebroadcast.club/2017/09/18/episode-7-popular-visual-novels/ We talked about popular VNs on this episode with the one and only, Cornetto_Man a long time member and moderator of /r/visualnovels. Cornetto has read a ton of VNs, so he was an awesome addition to the cast this time around. Nope, we didn't forget about the cast, or decide to stop doing it or anything. A number of factors led to delaying this latest episode nearly an entire month from our target date. Unfortunately, that's just how it worked out this time. However, we should be back on track now! I was contacted by a few people over the last few weeks asking about it, and to anyone who didn't reach out to one of us asking about the next episode, but was wondering about it, many apologies for the extended delay! As always, thanks for listening, and we're always willing to hear what you have to say about the cast! Hope you enjoy! As this cast was actually recorded in mid-late August, our news is a bit out of date on some points, but I felt there was value in leaving it in, so my apologies if Subahibi KS speculation is not particularly interesting to you anymore. Make sure to follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/VNBroadcastClub ------------------- I'd like to start a new Discussion series to not make these topics just postings of the episodes and here your guys' thoughts: Why do you think certain VNs are more popular than others? What VNs are you surprised aren't more popular or more highly read? What are your hidden gems that don't get talked about much? How much does a VN's popularity play into your own reading choices? With more companies shifting focus to the West, are you more excited about official translations of older titles, or simultaneous releases of new ones in both Japanese and English?

I asked a long time ago but I have a small team making an EVN that goes off the fun fan theory of how catgirls were actually slaves in Neko Para. However, we're taking a more dramatic/darker/character development approach with the theory and making characters and a plot with 3 routes and something more on the emotional side... far cry from the slice of life of Neko Para. The final name is in development but Code name is "Neko Rebellion" We have writer, programmer, composer and editors on board we're in the process of looking for an artist who'd be willing to do character designs and sprites based on the descriptions of the characters we've made. If you're interested, please feel free to reply to this comment or PM me. Thanks!

You can only have up to 50 titles before WheelDecide just makes all the text blanks. Which is why I only decided to just do 50. I'd do 100 if I could lol.

I'm not gonna lie signing a tier list (whether one I made or someone else made) would be pretty hilarious weird and amazing at the same time.

I think I have more name recognizability about the whole subreddit but Nak is closer to the most active people/higher ups

I would say emphasis on imfamous. Nakenashi more universally liked than me since he actually interacts with the /r/vns crew a lot more often than me. Im not even in their discord anymore.

The guy who usually does it wasnt awake. He's more popular than me there so he does it there and I do it everywhere else

As said in the topic title, We need future Guests for the Following Topics. If you feel comfortable talking on a podcast and talking about a topic feel free to PM me! Topics we plan to discuss in the future. 18+ vs. All Ages Art Buying vs. Pirating Visual Novels Length of visual novels (Short vs. Long, in between) Music Romance Quality Settings Tropes/Cliches Untranslated VNs/Learning Japanese Visual Novels aimed for Females (Otomes/BL/other?) Why Popular Visual Novels are Popular We would also like any topics you'd like to hear about besides any of the above and ones we've done already (EVNs, Kinetic vs Choices, Gameplay, TL Quality, Genres, Kickstarter)!

This episode we went without a guest since Kickstarter can be a touchy subject. We talked about the concept of kickstarters, how Kickstarters are executed and how Kickstarted should be executed.

Seems like whenever you have a visual novel bracket popularity contest you always gotta beware the SAW Anyway as many people were predicting by the end, Steins;Gate won the whole thing but the final was kinda close. Here are the full final results: Full Bracket and Results http://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?&tid=467243&tclass= Just For Fun Results https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lq5QcAoRrPc9Y0BcC0CsUu-wI7tK0T6H8OIbK3ND0Kc/edit?usp=sharing ------- Bonus Polls Just a few things I wanted to ask for curiosity. Question 1: How much did you like the contest? http://www.strawpoll.me/13232241 Question 2: Were there any matches where you voted only having seen an (anime) adaptation and not having read the original visual novel? http://www.strawpoll.me/13218677 ---- Visual Novel Power Rankings (By Voting Popularity) Based on a formula from another forum that has experience with bracket contests I found a way to get a general idea of the general popularity of each visual novel that got into the contest. Basically we do math to get a general idea of what % of the vote a visual novel would get against the strongest entry in the contest. In this case, Steins;Gate. For simplicity sake, we'll put the strongest entrant at 50.00% just to show it's #1. Feel free to take away these lists as a general way to point out how popular the VNs are with the voters comparatively. That said, don't take this list as the be all end all since in the end most of these are just mathematical guesstimations. Some matches could have entrants slightly lower than others beat another based on a matchup. Here is a list of the ranking of all the visual novels. ---- Finally, Ultimate Loser is.. Sekien no Inganock! Steins;Gate > Fate/Stay > Umineko > Muv-Luv > DanganRonpa 2 > Sharin no Kuni > Hoshimemo > Sekien no Inganock

Heh, we didn't even need the last 24 hour push

Feel free to vote in all matches or almost none of them if you prefer. * I'd prefer in matches that you only vote as long as you know/are familiar with at least one visual novel in the match (ideally both!) before voting but I can't and won't enforce it. Just a personal preference. * In whichever matches you decide to vote for, please vote for the one you like more! ---- Current Prediction Leaderboard Points will be added as entrants win a Group of 16.
