Pffft.
Pussyfoot anime could never create works of entertainment like this.
Anime is a pale shadow. This is the real thing. This is eroge.
The land of paradise, where the incest is real and the harem leads actually get to sleep with everyone.
Yes, but "vn!!!!" doesn't have the same ring to it.

Hentai? lol
Eh those are all just eroge adaptations anyway.

Anime -> Manga -> Those old 19th century paintings of women fucking octopi -> VNs
Where does the Light Novel fit in there?!
It's Real Literature unlike the poser 'arts' he listed there.
I think "Japan" is more appropriate.

This Tomaru Sawagoe guy sounds awesome.
If you seriously think so then I think that's quite messed up.
Holy fuck that is demented.
Yeah, and he's a real family person too.
Yeah. No shit. I question the sanity of the person that created this franchise.
Ehhh, I wouldn't go that far.

I told myself if I ever make a thread on GAF, I need to draw the banner. It helps me keep my drawing skills in form and lets me hype myself up for the game or show.
Did you see the K-ON! avatars everyone in PokeGAF had at the beginning of this year? Those were drawn by me.
Now that I look at them, I hate them. Need to do them over again.
Not gonna lie. Wanna see this insanity first hand myself.
I thought School Days was when shit got crazy, didn't know things were like this since Day 1. lolol

They're available at the usual Japanese eroge download stores, and all except the Days games are DRM-free.

We've got a flesh and blood virgin here embarking on the School Days challenge, and ya'll are posting universe spoilers left, right, and center. Shameful.

Everytime i think about this franchise i think this is crazy ... i think i was playing the second game " summer days" when i realised that something was "wrong" and then i looked for the clues ...
didn't prevent me from finishing the games to see just where would they draw the line ....
Still looking for the line

So I watched a few episodes of this show when it first aired and wasn't super hot it. I couldn't really say why but it just didn't click right with me. I promised myself I would come back to it before the end of the year with voting and stuff though because of the positive buzz, so I figured I would just start back over from the beginning to completely reacclimate with it.
The first time around a lot of the characters seemed annoying or aggravating, but on the second go around everything just sort of resonated with me the right way. The direction was exceptionally strong with the scenes being snappy, everything moved well and the show never dwelled too long on any one thing, and it was just generally fun to watch.

It'll only make you stronger. No worries.

Guys we really shouldn't be teaching people about the high level classes like 0verflow genetics until they've gotten through School Days 101.

Infinite Ryvius 4-5
I like how this show points out that holding a leadership position and having leadership talent are not necessarily correlated. Even though Lucson is the Zwei captain, it's clear that Juri is more capable to hold that position due to her greater cool-headedness and thoughtfulness. In his attempts to take charge both on the bridge and in the ship at large, he comes off as a blustering fool and ultimately a coward, making self-confident boasts but easily being cowed by a gang of hoodlums. I'm not sure if this gang has any deeper motivations for intimidating and seducing "Charlie" beyond messing around for the sake of messing around, but at any rate it seems the external enemies of the crew at large will prevent internal conflicts from worsening at the moment.
I have to wonder why Yuki is so angry with his older brother. Sibling rivalry, sure, but this is ridiculously strong. There isn't an obvious reason why he would be jealous of Kouji - if anything, Yuki seems the more talented and skilled of the two.
It's kind of weird that the soundtrack does occasionally diverge from its normal hip-hop beats to include a few orchestral pieces I would normally expect from this kind of show.

Isn't that the whole point of (the first half of) Eureka Seven?

I do think the directing is very upbeat and high energy, so it helps if you don't have a problem with the characters anymore.
Given that Infinite Ryvius is often referred to as "Lord of the Flies in space," one of its biggest themes is obviously leadership, and how power vacuums and internal struggles affect a society.
Get used to wondering that.
I have to say, I'm rather fond of that Atelier Totori art there. Did you draw that?

I do not like how everything has essentially arised because of
intervention in everyones lives. For Tabuki the
was disturbing yet imaginative. Ultimately with
as an antagonist deserving of the

The whole scene with finally Kanba in action and not being only a Shouma focused affair was really well done and too for Himari taking some initiative and finally telling Kanba to not do so much for her and what not. Still many tears when he gripped the rope and his hand was all bloody and then when it fell and all four were huddled up together.
I'm curious, have you watched Revolutionary Girl Utena?
