OriginalRen Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 That's the problem, is that she isn't the stereotypical imouto-type that generally appears in VNs. People complain about her BECAUSE she's realistic, imo.She's certainly closer to my little sister than any other imouto I've seen. I am terribly sorry to hear that. RIP my friend. yvetox and suikashoujo 2 Quote

Eclipsed Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Unpopular opinion: "Realistic" is an overrated reason for liking a VN / plot / character Chinami annoyed me for hours in the beginning but then she grew on me and she gave me plenty of funtimes for even more hours Quote
XReaper Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 the protags cousin in canvas 2 annoyed me pretty much. cant stand such genius chicks who overshadow the mc, though the way he acted mostly during the vn was pathetic, too Quote
TexasDice Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 The second part of your sentence isn't an unpopular opinion at all. Quote
Decay Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Firstly, Yuuji is a barely tolerable and thoroughly annoying douche, and I still can't believe he was voted the best male character by reddit. I find it entirely believable that reddit of all places would vote him as the best male character. (see my previous post where I posit that he's a closet poster at /r/MensRights/) Quote

Yeah Way Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I always preferres "Nii-san" over "Onii-chan". Quote

kratoscar2008 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Damm i liked Elis, part of that is that she calls MC onii-chan instead of his name so that helped with the naming problem of Canvas 2. I hate that mami says the name of MC too oftem Kana was my favorite though. Quote
hydro Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Aside from what has ready been touched upon, another reason I'm fine with Chinami is that I don't recall her ever being mean spirited. She can be annoying and act carelessly as younger sisters do, but she cares about her brother and tries to do well by him. I'm pretty sure people liked Aoi, Komomo and Mare better because they were "cuter", "cooler", "less hyper" or whatever, I dunno. But I found them more annoying. I don't care that they probably become nicer later, I didn't even finish the common route. And as I've said earlier in this thread, I don't like tsunderes. I don't like how by the end of a story, two characters can end up with similar nice personalities; but because one of them was initially hostile she's more popular than the one who was always pleasant. Sometimes both in-universe and fanbase wise. There's also the fact people often confuse "strong female character" with "hostile/aggresive/emotionally unstable female character", but that's a discussion for another time. I understand the gap-moe concept and respect people's differing tastes, it's just not for me. There, the most unpopular paragraph I've ever written. Oh god, no. Nii-san is my trigger word for Inferno Divider. TexasDice 1 Quote

zoom909 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Nii Nii is better imo, or just Nii This is actually a popular opinion among a certain group that you might want to join. It's called "The Knights Who Say Nii" Quote
FamishedPants Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 People who don't rate MLA a 10, Clannad a 1.1 (can't rate 1.0 until you're dying because of how VNDB works), and think Yuuji isn't the best protagonist in a visual novel to date are just lacking in taste. ....Actually I think my opinion might be a bit more popular, judging by other replies. Nevermind~ Oh, I got it. I never think about skipping an H-scene, especially when they involve copious amounts of references to mollusks. Quote
starlessn1ght Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Comedy is overrated and overused in VNs. If 75% of the comedy was taken out from VNs and replaced with drama or something worth reading, we would have far better works. Kawasumi 1 Quote

If 75% of the drama was taken out from VNs and replaced with comedy or something worth reading, we would have far better works. :3 Are you joking? Most VNs have lots of comedy and few drama. If 75% of the drama was taken out, there would be almost nothing of drama. Drama gives us feels, comedy is just a waste of time that gives us nothing. Comedy is just worth when it's a set up for the drama. Quote
Down Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Tbh I usually don't like that much what people call drama... (the best part of Grisaia was the common route by far). Comedy on the other hand is very entertaining when it's, well, actually funny. There's usually more to a VN than just drama and comedy though, unless it's a charage. Quote
starlessn1ght Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 There's usually more to a VN than just drama and comedy though, unless it's a charage. Don't forget the moeness of the girls. That's just pretty much of what every VN has: comedy, drama, moe and action if it's a chuuni. I've never understood why people like comedy so much. I hate everything that makes me laugh or tries to make me laugh. It's such a waste and it adds nothing important to our lives. I never care if the comedy is good or not, unless it's the type of comedy not to make you laugh, but to relax you and melt your heart (like non non biyori comedy). And to make things worse, people IRL joke way too much. You can't run away. (There's comedy in fiction and IRL) Tbh I usually don't like that much what people call drama... (the best part of Grisaia was the common route by far) I usually don't care if common routes are good or bad, since they have too much comedy, anyway. Quote
Funyarinpa Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 I like drama far more than comedy. I do enjoy both, but drama is generally more enjoyable for me. Though after comedy it packs even harder a punch, see Amane route flashback in Grisaia No Kajitsu. starlessn1ght 1 Quote

Nerathim Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Not to mention that comedy is one of the best way to make the reader feels close to the characters and thus making him care for the drama. Quote
starlessn1ght Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Not to mention that comedy is one of the best way to make the reader feels close to the characters and thus making him care for the drama. As I said, comedy as a set up for drama is okay, as long as there's too little drama. Quote
