You aren't alone! I love Sumika (Though not more than Kei). Never liked Meiya (though I don't dislike her either, only character I didn't like was Chizuru)
I've been wondering if there would be interest in watching someone stream a VN in Twitch and the viewers making choices when they appear.
Let's say Steins;Gate (Or something else without H-scenes) and when a choice appears the viewers decide what to do. (You know the drill, 3 viewers say Choice A, 2 say Choice B you go Choice A and so)
Just an interesting idea that has been floating in my mind.
I never see bad ends (well unless I got no choice ). I had someone spoil the bad end for Amane though because I wanted to know about Kazuki.
As for myself I finished Shioris route in Kanon last night, her route was a bit weak but as far as personality goes she was my favorite (Sorry Nayuki) so far. Mai left and then I'm done.
Yeah I did 3 routes so far and each one had 1 sex scene (2 were okay in context but 1 of was so random it baffled me, the art is well old school Key )
Anyways I'd suggest you to read Kanon anyway since it has a good story.
No idea I haven't read that one so far. Clannad and Rewrite don't have any sex scenes but Kanon had me go 'WTF? Now that's random sex' today in Mokotos route (Ayus and Nayukis were ok disregarding the old art)
Prefer reading the VN first although I've watched Clannad, Kanon and Air way before I was interested in VNs. Amagami as well I think. The reason is simple, I feel watching the anime first spoils a lot of things, watching the anime after finishing the VN could be seen as a recap or something.
Edit: Forgot that I also watched Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head before getting into VNs as well. (S;G is my favorite anime as well)
, I hated him with a passion while playing, he was so annoying xD I can't think of many others now though, I always try to erase from my memories the characters I dislike ;A;
Oh shit I forgot him lol, god was he an annoying asshole
Sometimes his whining was annoying but Takumi was a likeable character for me as well, it was different from the usual protagonists. As for whom I hate the most it has to be Shinji from F/SN since I decided to never read School Days after watching 8 episodes of the anime so it can't be Makoto.
After a couple of months of not reading any VN I started back again. Finished Majikoi (only what's translated so far but I got Momoyo and Wanko so I don't really care about what's left), finished Nayukis route in Kanon and currently going through Utawarerumono and Eien no Aselia.
I usually stick to one VN at a time but dunno while I did this this time.
Hmm from the ones I've read so far I'd say Fate/stay night (Without Heaven's Feel route , I haven't read that one yet but just UBW makes it my favorite anyway no matter if I like or dislike the last route)
