So this thing - Akinator - is going pretty viral among Youtubers. Basically what it does is it asks a bunch of questions in an attempt to find out who you are thinking of be it 2D or 3D.  I decided to find out if it knew more obscure people.

 

Namely VN characters.

 

 

I immediately thought it would only include more famous RL people or more popular anime characters and decided to test it out. So I thought of some of my favorite characters ( see what I did there? ) and tested it out.

 

 

It knows Mare O_O 

Granted Hoshimemo isn't the most obscure VN of all time, it still surprised me that it knew any VN characters at all.

BTW if anyone knows how they are doing this please tell me.

 

If I had to guess it's that they are using external databases and narrowing it down using their algorithm.

 

 

Anyway here's the link to this maddening sorcery.

It knows some older VNs but obviously not more recent ones.

Post below who you thought of and if this thing managed to guess correctly.

 

Have fun.

Lol it took 49 questions but they finally got the character I was thinking of from Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (beatrice)...wow rather amazing.

 

69 Questions but they finally got Komachi Tsugumi.

 

28 questions and they finally got Nice Holystone

 

24 questions for Kino from Kino's Journey

 

I need to go more obscure...

 

I beat it by suggesting Honoka from the anime The Third.

 

it's been updated since I last checked it out.

lol I just did Yshtola and the first guess was Coconut from Nekopara so it was close

 

Really I got Yshtola on question 26 with 192 people having already done it (unless you just made it and that many people searched for her since then).

I tried to make it guess Haru from G-senjou and after 26 questions it told me I was thinking of Aiko from Hunie Pop.

 

So ... yeah. Either I suck at this, or it does.

I've played around with it for quite some time a few months ago. It could guess most characters from translated VNs, given enough questions. It was a failure with jp-only ones.

The least searched a character is, more likely it'll take a while to guess it, even if it's in the database.

The only one of mine it tried to guess but wasn't in the database was Coco from Katahane. (...I think)

 

It was a failure with jp-only ones.
