Well, it's been a while since I saw bleach, and I kind of started reading VN's when I had caught up to most of the "mainstream" anime. (OP, Naruto, FT, Bleach, FMA(B), HxH, Magi (kind of?))
So when I saw all of those I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands, AND I saw Millbee's LP of Katawa Shoujo. That's the story all about how my life got flip-turned upside down by VN's.
