Sad truth is most VNs are forcing eroge scenes into the stories and that's the only way they can boost sells and survive. That said, there are still good VNs that not relied on that as Clannad ect. And some VNs have good storyline and worth reading even if you skip all those eroge scences. However, the fact isn't changed as majority of the VNs are relying on those 18X stuff. The question at hand is whether T-M needed that, not a random startup or low budget nukige company, but T-M. At the point when F/SN released, they probably didn't need it, but it was a good safety net to build in. Considering the multiple ports since then, it is pretty probable that they won't be relying on that much from now on. So yeah, like I said earlier. The reasoning is pretty obvious, a degree of appeal to fans is good. The real question would be whether anything was actually hurt from this act. | ||

They changed the setup because they want the protagonist to have eroge scenes with rin and sakura too. Not hard to understand. | ||

What possible reason could there be other than some stupid attempt to get males to like the show more than they would otherwise because it is a hot female in armor rather than some badass like all the other heroes. Maybe it's "edgy" that they can change lore around for one mythic char but keep others much more in line with the original. Why not just make every hero a hot female reinterpretation of the old heroes? Does the phrase "artistic license" mean anything to you? No? How about "who gives a fuck?" Besides, Saber IS a badass, so either you haven't read/watched it, or you are grossly misinformed like Spazer. | ||

Except they got slammed for Tomoyo After, and the whole affair with LB Ex! was them trolling players. Sticking to making all-age VN is honestly not as bad as you make it out to be, look at the shit we see on PS2. There are also stuff like IMas that's basically VN, if even. tbh it is an ok trend far as I am concerned. Focus on all-age market, use 18+ content as cash cow. Also consistent with the focus getting placed on consoles (and in nitro+ case, iPad) to keep revenue stream steady.

I have hope, we'll one day see Banner 5. One day. Mahouyoru trolling us for so long, I'd be amazed if it even releases 2011. At this rate it might beat Cross Days in terms of being one of the most delayed games. But yeah, Nitro+ and T-M both taking the Key route and focusing hard on all-age and to an extent, console. btw, did you see that new one for the science series on the 360? RW Ex would be scary, but Kotori-san too good. Disclaimer + lolikotori = Ferrose jailbait? | ||

I obviously started out with Anime and then I just found it shitty to wait for new episodes and for just that period of time I was happy to be up to date and later to found out I had to wait for chapters anyways... Which is rather shit But the good thing is that ofcourse a chapter of manga is less time consuming than an episode of anime! Ok with that said, let me give you a list that I've followed before the manga-craze Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Dragonball Z, Hunter x Hunter (till GIfinal), Slam Dunk, YuYuHakusho and Death Note. Now that I've been watching again I watched some new ones recommended by friends. Which of these I would also recommend them to you. Aswell as the ones I've already seen or are still ongoing! Anyhow I started with Code Geass + R2, then I went on to an anime that I've been waiting for since the 5th manga chapter - Deadman Wonderland, after that a series that is just awesome imho - Steins;Gate So here you go. Watch these :D PS, new HxH out so go watch that one. | ||

There's so many characters already; how many of them are actually main cast? Also the main guy's face is drawn weird...kinda annoys me. At least I was happily surprised to find out Minori Chihara is in it and sings the OP. No real opinion yet, but since it's been hyped in this thread, I look forward to future episodes. btw you haven't even seen 1/3 of the total cast, including the OP and ED. | ||

Did you end up getting Hadena's subs, or something else that I don't know about? I have no clue when "The Anime Network" does their simulcast. If the former, how were they? I downloaded and saw how horrible they did on C^3, so I'm curious if I should wait to see if Commie's still planning on subbing it. | ||

Just wait for Commie or any other good subbing group. | ||
