Man, Hanako has so much more fanart than Lily, makes it hard to find avatar material for her
Yeah it's slim-pickings for Lilly fanart. Here's a few I did for her in case anyone wants one.

Man, those look awesome. I'm guessing these are a mix of Fanart and Official art?
I just got review code for Digital: A Hate Story, and I find it amusing that the developer Christine Love was sure to mention that the artist Raide worked on Katawa Shoujo.
I'd love to get a dream VN roundtable going. I'd talk to 4LS, Christine Love, Shu Takumi, and... fuck, I had a fourth candidate in mind. Who was that? Maybe it was the 999 dude, but I think it was of another Western indie doujin VN developer. Can't recall who though...

Get Gen Urobuchi.
I'd probably end up fanboying over Madoka instead if I could get Gen Urobuchi...

Started Rin's route tonight. Holy shit Rin has no qualms about blurting out stuff about her body.
She's a handful.
"Gen Urobuchi announces anime adaption of Katawa Shoujo"
I don't think my heart would be able to take that.

It's not really "moe"

Oh man, that would be amazing. I would definitely like it a lot better if that guy put his own sadistic twist on this whole thing.
Depends on your definition of "moe". I would say it is.

Considering that at least one of the routes
attacks the entire idea of "moe" I'd say it's not.

Probably the only studio that would be acceptable for an anime adaptation is KyoAni.

:lol, you're absolutely right. I'm just saying what I personally would find more enjoyable. I'm not even a fan of KS. Only reason I'm still in this thread is because I'm glad it's giving the genre exposure and that people are enjoying it.
So, right now I've finished Emi and Hanako's routes
and it's been pretty great. The excellent music and the great writing exceeded any expectations I had of something coming out of 4chan and certainly of something I paid zero quid for.
I just wanted to ask if anyone else, when they read the Hanako chapter, didn't really like the author. Like, I enjoyed the scenario and how Hanako slowly opens up to you and everything, but the voice of the writer felt kind of snarky and put me off a bit. Anyone else get that?
Also, is there good route to do after Hanako and Emi? I heard Shizune's was a bit crap so maybe I should get that out of the way and not finish on a low note.
Hanako's was the one I ended up on first, how could it not be

Shizune is probably my favorite character in the game next to Lily, but she has the worst writing. Rin's route was very good, and Lily's route is fantastic. End with either of those for high-feels.

No, i believe one other girl had one as well. Can't remember who though. i may be wrong though.

You probably mean the Epilogue to the original Hanako story, which is different to the one that was released in the game.
Lilly's route is the only one that has that.
I'd just use it because it's the easiest to put other elements around it. It's the second longest (timeline wise), I'm pretty sure.

No, not that one. As it turns out, I was wrong. I thought Shizune had one,
since you see Hisao, Shizune,and Misha on the last day of school posing for a pic.
Yeah I kinda almost considered that one. It's just hard to tell with her route where the "end" would be.
I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but have you tried opening the menu while the "time passes" bandaged heart logo is there? That little jingle isn't a jingle at all. It's a full song. That seems a little wasteful. Kind of catchy, too. Is it used in any story scenes?
Completed Emi's route today. That didn't go quite the way I imagined, and it had a few genuine laughs along the way, and a kind of interesting twist on the hyperactive girl archetype. Didn't quite expect that. Also, after playing Lilly's story, I have to say that it was refreshing to see that in Emi's story

Hisao took his heart disease seriously. Not just brushing it off with "it's nothing" until getting another heart attack. Amusingly, Emi takes that role with her leg injury this time around. Funny to see the roles reversed.
Oho ho ho nooo thank you. I hate that annoying little jingle. Just thinking about it... RRRRGHHH

Speaking of random Hanako avatars:
I'd use one myself but I'm kinda not allowed to switch out my current one.

Does the colored one look bad?
Looks awkward without Boxer being colored too, imo.

I like the colored one more since it establishes contrast between the three images
Hmmm lotsa nice Hanako avs on this page

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Well, I just finished my third route (Rin) Bad, Good, and whatever the other one was. It was alright, not as good as Emi or Shizune.
I dunno, I guess maybe because I'm an artist myself (or at least fancy myself as such) I basically already knew what the issue with Rin was practically from the start, so it wasn't really especially moving or surprising to be honest. She's scared to change, she's scared no one understands her, but oddly instead of liking it more through being able to identify, I grew rather indifferent at times. I dunno, I guess I'm trying too hard to find things I like to say it was alright, because honestly the other two routes I took (Shizune and Emi) really left a strong impression. Those routes really moved me. This one was nicely written, but didn't provoke any sort of emotional response from me to be honest.

Yeah, I felt bad as I was nearing the end, as I know how highly regarded Rin's route is. I felt like a bad person for not being so incredibly moved. I mean, yeah, the reason behind her art is lovely and all, but I think that's all artists to some extent. The CGs in her route were mostly pretty lovely, I will give her route that. ^_^

Stay strong, brother. I'd be repping Rin or Shizune if I wasn't such a narcissistic bastard.

Pretty much. At least no named mental illnesses. Maybe a few implied ones, but it all ties in to the physical disabilities with the kind of drama you would expect from that for the most part.
unfortunate and unrealistic
but understandable since people tend to judge externally and it allows for colourful diversity in characters

I wouldn't say that the game is completely devoid of mental issues. There are certain characters that have not-so-obvious mental disabilities, some that do, and while the physical impairments are the highlight, you learn about each character's quirks and anomalies as you play them.
EDIT: In fact, Hisao hits himself when he finds that he is judging his schoolmates by their physical disabilities.
I just get the feeling that it wont be relateable in the slightest and ill end up criticizing everything
