/jp/ - Otaku Culture

This side character on the left makes me think of a Lalafell, look at this smug fucker

>>31160332
This is one of the games with that older teacher/student couple right, how is it?

>>31161582
Yeah, it's one of kinshiiku's earlier titles with the ojisan/ponytail JK couple. This one (otohige) is actually a remake of a much shorter free game of a kidnapper and hostage romance, which was fairly nice for what it was.
I'm not too far into it right now, but I'm enjoying what I'm reading so far. It's kinshiiku, so it's pleasant to read as usual and has a good amount of suffering. The game's action doesn't take too long to really "start" compared to some of their other games, shit goes down within the first hour. The free game had plenty of moe scenes with the main couple, so I'm expecting a lot of ojisan moe in this one as well.

I didn't think about it before but now I know for sure - I am sick of Kaji's voice

>>31163847
The female friends in this one are pretty cute. I'm glad they got rid of rivals.
I've only played TMGS1 and the rival system in that one was the absolute worst. I went from being best friends with a girl to having her bitch me out every Christmas ;_;

I don't like yuri at all, but damn I wanted to date Karen at tokimeki...

In your opinion, what game has the best female friend character/s?

Ken ga Kimi is suprisingly easy to understand so far with just 2 years of on and off studying

>>31191983
Which one would you prefer? Red nose as in clown nose, "fuck, it's so cold" nose or Tumblr style red nose? Are there any other variants?

>>31195198
I haven't read it myself but wouldn't be surprised if it's reputation for difficulty comes from it being popular enough for absolute beginners to dive straight into rather than being genuinely hard.

>>31195775
There are old timey words and phrases but nothing you can't google.

>>31195227
A light-up nose to see through the fog of course.

Clown boys are underrated.

>>31196116
I can't think of any blog ones though I'm sure there's got to be at least one.

>>31196672
There's that jester boy from Laughter Land, though I don't know if we're counting jesters here.

Is there a rec list based on reading difficulty? I don't need furigana or stupid bullshit like that, but I'd probably lose my footing in something really complex.

>>31196116
yes

>>31199578
I don't think so, but historical japanese settings tend to be the hardest and modern high school ones are usually easy.
Some games have no or very limited narration so most writing will at least be voiced but I don't think there's a tag for it anywhere.

Damn, can't believe Kaworu is cheating on Shinji.

Weird how there aren't really any blog Kaworu clones, unless I'm being stupid and just forgot someone obvious.

>>31256708
Do you mean character-wise or looks-wise? Because if it's on the character front, now that I think about it, you're right. I have no idea why they aren't a thing. Kaworu is plenty popular, but maybe it's because he or someone like him wouldn't be ideal as a love interest? His behavior easily comes off as like, overbearing and almost predatory especially in the manga, and I feel like that would get awfully lost in translation in a game genre where there are plenty of characters that embody that feeling in earnest.

>>31277799
I literally cannot stop loving Towa, how did they do it?

>>31264318
Atlus has Alcor, Ryoji and DDS for other eva characters. And they have at least 3 characters who are based on Akira.
Several FGO originals even if connections are very loose (Merlin, Dantes, Galahad)
N from Pokemon.
I think Slayers had outright parody character even though they already had Ishida voicing Xelloss.

Now pic related is something you had after Ryo but before Kaworu and considering how much Anno liked Ikuhara he might have been direct inspiration for Kaworu.

>>31266999
Honestly, she's carrying the VN super hard for me.
What the fuck is her problem and why can't other heroines learn from her. She's a hilarious, cunning and borderline insane cunt who's also adorable from time to time.

>>31283781
I believe JP players hated her for being condescending and having a stupid way of talking so unfortunately I doubt we'll get many imitators.

>>31272097
Does anyone know who the seiyuu other than Towa's are?

>>31293599
>Fujieda
Seems to be a new BL VN seiyuu. He voiced mc of Tokyo 24-ku
>Rei
First BL VN role, previously had roles in eroge
>Madarame
First BL VN role, previously had roles in eroge
>Taku
Shitton of roles but mostly side characters and ugly old men; first BL VN role
Except for BL chad Onoyuu, the rest are new to BL games

>>31292323
Nah, just face the truth: JP players hated her because she wasn't your usual submissive lifeless boring bitch, they can't self-insert into anything other than that.

>>31294877
I mean, it's kinda the same way with male MCs too. They're all lazy passive guys who never do anything of significance and need the heroines to be their mommy. The audience for these games are losers who can't think for themselves, it can't be helped.

>>31294877
But I self-inserted both as Yurika and amnesia mc

>>31292323
People keep saying this but it is false.
Fans of the game love her.
However, to appease self-insert fags they have to preface with "she might be controversial to some, but..."

>>31265708
Girls didn’t watch Mai-Hime

Self-insert fags are the true cancer killing genres, what we need are gigachads and ultra-stacies in every game. Or at least someone entertaining.

Now that I'm done with Gretel's route, that was the best cage yandere route I've ever seen.
The world really needs more Yurikas and more literally brainwashing your brother into becoming a yandere and everything basically being just as you planned to make him happy, including your own suicide by fire because you are several tiers above yandere in comparison.
I'll say it again, I'm loving this bitch, this route even had her personality explained in detail and it was awesome how much of a love-related psychopath she can be.

>>31304606
Does knowing that gretel is actually much younger change your opinion of him? I thought it does justify the way he acted, not in "the fucking your sister in a cage way", but his immature attitude in general

>>31198359
Sexy jester men are a dime a dozen, especially in fantasy. I think some pierrots too for that " happy job but tragically dead inside" contrast. now a sexy mime? Sexy ronald McDonald? That'd be fun. Although at least there the west has them beat.

have a bump

>>31269747
i'd say that samurai flamenco was more popular on /a/, but that chart is probably dated since zashunina was also somewhat popular

I thought Ishida was good at drawing god tier boys, so what happened in Jack Jeanne? The dude in glasses looks ugly as fuck

>>31311220
Are you joking? He's literally the only attractive one.

>>31355958
I have maxed "degenerate" but it locked me into the ending where you eventually buy a gun and blow your brains out.

>>31355958
But why would I put all that effort in for 3D

For those interested, kinshiiku's having a 40% off sale on some of their games on DLsite.

I safely got a happy ending with Waka, but of course I couldn't resist seeing him suffer a little bit beforehand. Also, if you think about it, Waka's probably somewhere around 10 years older than the protagonist, right? A 25 year old teacher falling for his 15 year old student is pretty crunchy, in a good way.

This is also kind of a long shot, but does anyone have the archive of the original /v/ threads? I'm in the mood for reminiscing and the links in the old pastebin are dead.

Also, I just remembered that Aoba not only got one but three fucking figures. What the fuck.
Whoring out Towa already is kinda funny but makes me a bit sad for all the previous games.

>>31372579
DMMD's success has made them bolder. Maybe the earliness has to do with the game getting delayed.
Towa deserves to be whored out, though. That much is already clear.

>>31372579
I really like the degenerate aoba figure.
I will buy it someday.
Hope they make a perverted one for towa too in the near future.

>>31372579
I love this illustration.

>>31372579
Cant wait to shove this up my ass.

Nothing will ever top sweet pool figure

Done with Taisho Alice, after Shirayuki's route you kinda just need to keep reading since the actual plot of the game kicks in super hard.
Fairly happy with the way things turned out since you rarely see a game dealing with DID where the ending isn't just integrating all personalities. Aleister actually refusing to do so and leaving them all to their own worlds was actually really nice. Especially his last scene with Alice where he gives up what's his most precious memory with Yurika so they both get his happy ending too
The couple of twists this game had were crazy too, really wasn't expecting Yurika to just be another personality created by the queen bitch in order to solve all their issues. Talking about Yurika, she's so fucking adorable despite being so fucking CRAZY, the straightforward way she loves, the reason behind the way she speaks like that, how she literally manipulates everyone and everything for her goals, top cute.
Also did the couple of side routes in the fandisk and the after story for the magician, since his ending needed a bit more in general all things considered. I wish the real Aleister had gotten a proper afterstory, but alas, he appears enough in the other two I guess, really liked him too.
All in all, I really liked it, did some really unique things plot wise and was generally satisfying and entertaining to read throughout.

tfw no gap moe delinquent fanfiction writer bf
might as well kill myself for real

I feel like I'm approaching the end of Gretel's route and I'm not particularly attracted to him myself (I don't enjoy being teased in comparison to teasing others/being straightforwardly pampered), but his route is interesting in a lot of ways he's like a combination of Nobukatsu from FGO and Toma from amnesia, his misanthropy towards everyone besides Yurika is kind of amazing to witness, the people he attacks deserve to be punished harshly but he seems to only have two modes 0 or 10000000 and it's quite frankly concerning????? Knowing that the sweets he's been huffing the entire route were anti depressents was something I expected, as well as the "hunters" actually being doctors like I suspected in Red's route (speaking of Red, I was super happy to see him even if he seems more put together here).

Also every route makes me more sure Yurika is insane, the lengths she goes for the love interests were impressive in the first two routes but now they're quite frankly concerning now. I guess because it's showing what the unhealthy side of her self sacrificial devotion looks like. On a side note, only bad end I've gotten so far in this route was the sex one and it was worth it honestly

>>31455294
Also, I understand it's probably so that steam won't be anal about provocative content related to minors, but the "community college" thing is kind of distracting because it's so obvious that he's a high schooler just from how they describe school activities

>>31455610
He's also only 15, which makes some of his decisions seem more justified or fitting for his age

>>31455813
Yeah, I've been told that like 5 times already in this thread

Can someone check the age of other guys while we are at it.
Sex in cage with Gretel!

Spoilers for the untranslated chapters of Taisho Alice.
Now I think about it, why do the boys have seperate specific ages anyway?

I like otomate. I only play translated visual novels. Rape is bad. BL should be wholesome instead of cannibal incest.

>>31456607
It's in the order they were created, which is why I asked the Gretel age autist if they changed the rest of the ages to match but they're too buttmad about their interpretation of Gretel to answer me.
Also if I remember right Shirayuki was created before Akazukin, but he's younger than him for some reason I've forgotten the details of. I think it was related to him being the one who took the trauma of finding his mom dead.

>>31457581
Oh yeah. I remembered that it wasn't exactly their creation order (because that was a clue in Wizard's route) but I forgot that Shirayuki and Wizard were the only exceptions and the others did follow it. Now I try and think back, Shirayuki's age might have been because he didn't surface again after the mom died and just stayed in the dream world.

>>31456617
I know this is a joke but please fuck off, leave the cannibal incest alone.

>>31458862
Oh right that was it, thanks. I remembered him being in a coma in his route's story but couldn't remember how it translated to what happened in the real world.
Also I'm guessing this >>31390979 post is yours? If so I'm glad you liked it. I followed Taisho Alice from the start of the original separate volume releases and was hyped for the last one after the volume 3 reveals and then was kind of disappointed by the epilogue essentially just being a summary but I'm still very fond of it. Who was your best boy?

>>31459573
Nope, not that anon, I played it last year and was just thinking back on it since the topic came up. My best boy is Akazukin though.

>>31459760
Oh well that's embarrassing, ignore me. Excellent taste regardless.

>>31435049

>>31490845
Towa

>>31490845
(You)

Finished Gretel's route in TaiAli after stumbling into 2 bad ends blind and realizing I needed to get a guide to figure out what the hell these people even wanted. I connected to her somewhat in the episode 1 routes, but after Gretel's route I just find Yurika unbelievably horrifying and it's almost amazing how bad an influence she is. The exploration of addiction and crossing lines was interesting, but in the end of it all I was left with a feeling of a lot of stuff still feeling unexplained compared to Red and Cindy's routes.

Knowing Gretel was 15 didn't really change my impression of the route much because Gretel's problem to me wasn't that he was 15. It was that he was crazy, needed therapy and needed a support network that didn't encourage his worse impulses whether on purpose or accidentally. I'm still not quite sure why any of what happened had to happen but at least I can't say that it was all uninteresting.

Time for Kaguya's route, I'll play blind for a bit since I've heard that this route is near impossible to complete without a guide

>>31490845
I'm literally praying it's Towa because my body can't handle another bester boy.

>>31492785
How many times have you posted about finishing it wtf bro

>>31495881
This is my first time posting about finishing it, my last post was about my progress when I was at the halfway point. There seems to be another person who is also playing Gretel's route in the thread though

>>31490845
Nearly all of them look promising, so it's difficult to tell. Even a hypothetical vanilla choice would have interesting interactions with Towa. It looks like he might corrupt Fujieda, for example.
I think Rei is my early favorite though.

>>31490845
Fujieda. I just know he's going to do some crazy shit.

>>31496366

I kinda wonder if there's going to be routes (even if not romantic or porn ones) for NPCs that are tied to that euphoria system. If any other N+C game taught me something is that at least some NPCs do get to be relevant.

Alvaro from Wand of Fortune, Hinose from Sweet Clown, Gretel from Taisho Alice.
Alvaro is probably peak execution of the taming the bad boy fantasy. While it indulges in a lot of the usual cliches(sad past/playboy/hard to keep the interest of)MC is fun and good at handling him so it feels like a pleasant tug of war most of the time instead of being frustrating and leaving you wondering why she bothers putting up with him. He's probably the only straight forward guy of that type I've ever liked.
Hinose and Gretel have a lot more going on with them than "sadist asshole" but I'd say they still have that appeal anyway. Hinose is an absolute semen demon and single-handedly made me like Kakki. I can't say Sweet Clown is entry level but the other two fit.
