Greetings from the north

[BFlorry]

Hiya you all! I'm BFlorry and I'm a (relatively) long time Japanholic from Finland. (may I assume the first on these forums?) I was almost the kind of average animeguy you'd see every day about 7 years ago, except that I didn't watch the overly popular shounen ones. That was before I started reading shitloads of manga. Nowadays, I basically read my weekly manga and when I get into it, read an occasional VN. My first VN was probably Private Nurse, which I just picked up just for shits and giggles. It ended out quite working concept for reading and I got hooked into it. After that, I've read only just a couple of VNs:

True Love 98 (not sure if counted as VN though),

Sharin no Kuni: Himawara no Shoujo,

Katawa Shoujo,

Ecchi na Bunny-san wa Kirai

That's quite the pathetic amount for someone who loves this genre, but one does not have the time for all, no? Well, I'm going to pick up some recommended ones (DC, Snow Sakura, Yume miru kusuri, Planetaria, Chaos;Head) so there's plenty to read.

Here's my lists if anyone is interested. (The anime one is lacking a lot, 'cause I can't remember my 10 years worth of anime.)

Heya, Aaeru! Whoa, suddenly a wall of questions.

[BFlorry]

That is the smallest wall I have ever seen.

Welcome to the forums fellow Finn. Now I know there are at least two people here who have touched a loli a VN.

Hey there!

Anime is relatively big considering that we are but a small country. The only notorious thing that we have with anime is the annual Animecon, which is said to be the largest one in the northern Europe.

[BFlorry]

Hey there!

How many people go there? It might totally be country bias, but I thought our Japan Expo in France was the biggest. (Unless France is too South ^^")

It sure must be convenient to have most people actually know English fairly well. People that are reticent to reading english books or even watching english-subbed shows can be a pain sometimes.

Welcome to Fuwanovel ^^

I have to say I haven't played any of the VNs you've played (yet), but well, everuthing will come.

Hope you have a great time around here

Around 10 000, according to Wikipedia. I told "In northern Europe". (http://www.sverigetu...scandinavia.gif)

And we have no choice but succumb to English as it's the only way to get any more content.

Hi there! Welcome to the forums! Northern Europe has a nice showing on here if I'm not mistaken (I am I bet). Hope you enjoy it here!

[HaruKaizo]

Welcome to Fuwanovel!

I see you've played Katawa Shoujo, I loved it

If you liked Sharin no Kuni: Himawari no Shoujo you should play G-senjou no Maou

Have fun!

Welcome to Fuwanovel.

Were all friends here so make yourself at home!

[BFlorry]

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be sure to check it out.

[Daeyamati]

Welcome to the forums! Enjoy your stay here

If you like Planetarian, you should also check out Narcissu, or any other VN done by KEY. They are the masters of tear-jearking, heartbreaking stories,
