Oh forgot the AMA. Hottest ass of Fuwa?

Gay. I like that

Where people even find all of these female friends that likes anime tits? Oh well, I can only think of Melty's Quest.

My childhood started to crumble the moment there were more pokemon than it was worth it to catch them all. Wait, this is a thread to complain about our childhood being ruined right????

Pretty much the same. I don't skip the scenes, but I can live without them in VN. Just need to look for doujin manga between the reads yeah.

Funny thing is that I think the exactly opposite. I love to unlock CGs and make 100% saves, it's an accomplishment for me. But I dislike using walkthroughs, they hold my hand too much and I like to try my own thing out. I know I'm just making my life harder, but that's the way I like to play. I just use walkthroughs after I'm done with all routes and I happen to miss a CG or two. As for Mitch's question, yeeeeeeeah, give me CGs! The more the merrier!

Oh yeah, Fata Morgana and Kara no Shoujo already are in my "to read" list, thanks for giving me even more reasons to read them As for female seiyuu, I have a hard time to remember her names and I'm slightly tone deaf all the more with high pitched voices so... But look, I remember Sawashiro Miyuki, because for me she's that awesome!

The poll is public, so you can see who voted for it. And I'm pretty sure Dergonu and Mr Poltroon are not new to VNs. And they still like it. What people call Kamige is the highly popular things, but if they're full of things you don't usually like, it wouldn't be a Kamige for you. Overhype can also be a bad thing and kills the experience. Just read what you like without trying to check some boxes, it's a lot more fun that way! Aaaaaaaaand from the options available, I voted for Saya!

I think he's talking about the differences between the web novel and the light novel.

Good review! My impressions of this game quite match yours! Except my favorite is Asuka or Sakuya, hard to decide! Hmmmm, yeah, I think it's changing a bit. Slooooowly, but it's a bit better than it was some years back. In VN not so much, but in manga the difference is clearly there. Uncertainty is pretty common nowadays (a bit too much in fact, characters have way too much of a hard time to admit it sometimes, even to their love interest damn), but social stigma is a bit less used. And maybe I'm too soft, but I kinda likes when it's as natural as in Nurse Love? I just want my girls to be happy with no judging eyes, it's unrealistic but one can dream right?

Hahahahahahaha I just said I don't remember many female seiyuus and you had to bring up the one that I always remember and love Kana Hanaaaaaa! <3 But yeah, the first one is the best one!

Any discussion is welcome! But yeah, I also love the ones that can sing too! But with male actors (maybe with female ones too, but I don't remember a whole lot of them, easy to imagine why XD) there's some problems that... I think sometimes they edit too much their singing for them to appear younger and more "ikemen-like" if that makes sense. Let the dudes be more natural, I surely love when they sound more mature! Most of my favorites are beyond 30s or even 40s, they don't need to sound like teenagers...

Hey there! Today let's talk a bit about drama CDs, a kinda add-on to the stories of some visual novels that's super popular in otome and BL fandoms. I'm talking about these two particular fanbases, but it's not uncommon for light novels, manga and anime series, or video games from all kinds of genres to have side stories released in this format. And we even have original stories released like this. Drama CDs, or audio dramas, are exactly what it says on the tin. An audiobook of sorts with dialogues, inner thoughts of characters and narrations, read aloud by the voice actors of the media in question. Visual Novels without the visual aspect. The perspective can shift from character to character from time to time, and you'll know when it happened when other person starts narrating. If the main character is unvoiced in the main game, common in otome for self insertion reasons and such, these drama CDs are our chance to finally hear their voices. The big otomege japanese companies, like Otomate and Rejet, release drama CDs for most of it's popular series. And they are frequently announced in their big events, with the presence of the voice actors in question, to the fangirls' delight. I must admit that, since I started following these things, I learned quite a few names of voice actors and even when they use alias (more common in BL than otome, whyyyy is thaaaat), they don't fool me anymore. Related links given to me by CDJapan when I was looking for drama CDs. Not only I recognize four of these names, but I also know a bunch of previous roles of three of them. There's some different types of drama CD as well. Some features interactions between characters with a short and simple storyline. They are usually called talk CDs. Some otome games that have this type of drama cds are Amnesia (CD's name is "Meido no Kuni no Amnesia"), Hakuouki ("Chizuru Yuukai Jikenchou") and Arcana Famiglia ("Il dolce Regalo"). Cover of "Chizuru Yuukai Jikenchou". The harem is strong with this girl... We also have the otome CDs that, unlike the talk CDs, have only one guy speaking with you or his inner thoughts about you. I mean, the main character. So yeah, an entire CD of your favorite guy whispering in your ear, I can see the appeal. You can usually recognize one by their name pattern: "Series name Vol. X - Character name". So just pick your favorite character and press play to enjoy! Series that have this type of CD are Diabolik Lovers (for masochist girls) and Norn9 (this game have three MCs, so the drama CDs are divided by girl, a track for each one of their love interests) Together with the otome CDs, we also have the character CDs, that features one of the guys singing instead of talking. Sometimes we have duets, but it really depends on the series. The naming pattern is similar to otome CDs, but it usually have "character CD" specified. As examples, we have Collar X Malice and Code Realize. Cover of Norn9 Trio Drama CD Vol. 1. Guys of all ages to please everyone! Now if you want something more... spicy, they also got you covered, with the R18 otome CDs. If you didn't press ctrl in all h-scenes you came across, you know what to expect here. Moaning, kissing and all those other background sounds. I never came across any game that had an extra CD like this, maybe they didn't wanted to ruin the pure maiden image, it's more common for these CDs to contain original stories. But I did saw the opposite happen actually, an original R18 CD turned into an otomege. Meet Jooubachi no Oubou! For BL... we have pretty much the same things except the otome variation. The biggest BL company, Nitro+CHIRAL, sure love to make comedic and ecchi ones, but Karin Chatnoir Omega released even the singing variation for their series Omerta. As one can guess, all of them are in japanese only. It's a fun way to practice your hearing, but never fear! We also have fantranslations for some of these titles, so don't let it discourage you! Just don't do like fujoshi Kotone Fujisaki from Keijo!! and listen to your precious BL drama CDs in public. Unless you control very well your reactions... Now that I informed you about this world of voice actor fangirling, let me share my opinion about this. Yes, eargasm is really important in my games. I play lots of unvoiced stuff, but damn, a good voice acting can really make some okay scenes be a lot better (looking at you, Togainu no Chi). And I can count two times when it was a great deal for me... First time: I usually research a lot about my game before buying because I hate to waste my time and money in things I know I'll dislike halfway through it. The one and only thing I didn't look about too much was Code Realize, and I even paid almost 40 USD for it, because a) I love steampunk; b) art is gorgeous (art is a big deal for me); and c) Suwabe Jun'ichi was in the cast. Yeeeeeep...... And it was worth every cent in the end, thanks nihon gods. Second time: I just started playing Omerta, the game was casually showing us the boys and stuff, that usual prologue stuff. Then this blond god appeared before my eyes... My nose sustained major damage by excessive bleeding Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, he seems like a good candidate for best guy of the game. It was already good, but then he started to speak (voice sample)... Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, the flood, I didn't even need a h-scene, take meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *Cahan*, forgive me. And what about you guys? Do you have any voice actor you like a lot? Share with me while I hear this cover of a Vocaloid song by DMMD Ren's voice actor nonstop!

No Saya no Uta yet? So there goes my vote!!!

Be careful of what you ask for...........................

I bring you a beautiful and tragic fairy tale about betrayal and friendship that I found in a Touhou game. Enjoy. Title: An old hag and a kitten In a old rickety house... There lived a cat which was afraid of water. The fact that it was afraid of water is never used in the tale. The cat was living together with its master, a fluffy fox. This fox could earn a lot of money when she made a serious effort, but I digress. Fox had many lifestyle diseases and one day she asked the kitten "bring me some oil" and the kitten went to look for it. The kitten walked into a hag with an umbrella. She was wearing a weird hat. She told the kitten she was homeless. The kind kitten thought she would escort the hag to her house. But the kitten remembered her task and took the hag to Hell halfway (This is some hardcore kitten). Having finished her task, the kitten went home. Just in front of it, the hag had a conflict with the fox. A fight to death between two equal super-females erupted and no holds were barred. With two of them just glaring at each other, you could see their mental power burning out. "What's up with her? It's like I have an icicle up my ass!", "What's with this feeling... It's like I have fire sticks up my ass". And the fox tried to gamble: "No matter how strong you may be, you can't transform like I can! Can you transform into a bean? Surely it must be too hard for you". The kitten was sleeping by the halogen heater, ignoring them. The hag got serious at those words and turned into a small bean. And then she rotted. At that very moment, the fox said "Aha, an opening! Prepare to die!" and with lightning speed, she ate the hag who has turned into a bean. And that is how she managed to punish the scary hag. And the kitten and the fox rejoiced and lived happily until the fox died from diarrhoea. The end!

Let me join this squad!

You called? Oh shit, the one I would recommend was in jp only, damn. Both of you are wrong. It's this one: https://vndb.org/v16096 Now for the serious recommendation... I think you might like Grisaia!

JAST removed all scenes with lolis to avoid legal problems. There's an uncensor patch floating around, but it's unnoficial. Fuwa things about this: https://fuwanovel.net/2015/04/endorse-jasts-censorship-shiny-days/ https://forums.fuwanovel.net/blogs/entry/992-shiny-days-restore-patch-released-installation-guide/

Aaaaah, a fellow engineer! But I don't work in a ship, but if there's any job opportunities, pls tell me *sobs in unemployment* Welcome to fuwaaaa! We promise we won't weird you out... most of time!

Remember Shiny Days?

VNR have limited compatibility with ppsspp. Check if your game is compatible, otherwise it'll not work at all.

^This for me too. The OELVNs that I avoid like the plague have the same problems of the japanese titles I avoid, so in the end it's all the same.

That "Board Mod" below your avatars sure is sexy~ Congrats, guys!

All ages it is then! Let's do this, guys!!!
