If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.ggFor currently airing anime, please see Anichart.net |
Finished IS vol 6, lol the usual plot armor for Houki, did I mention this is retarded? I hope she gets turned into a resupply unit.
EDIT - nice flowchart, now if it is only meant to be used by a human being. There should be better ones out there.
Found something more sane, albeit in Japanese. http://hossy.info/game/kagetsu/gchart.html
Looking at these charts make me feel amazed for having plowed through the game within my first year of learning Japanese.

It feels like they're making excuses. At least in Tsukihime they did it because they wanted to. -_- Shirou and Sakura do it because Sakura wants it...badly  Also, 4 more episodes until I finish Terra e..., was pretty disappointing. And I still don't know why every female character wears lipstick -.- Another thing is, they killed Seki Ray Shiroe which was such a good character. Way to ruin it, they should have done that with Suena instead. After that, I still can't start my Gundam UC marathon. Need something to fill the time in between, dunno what though. I have several choices: Blue Gender Cluster Edge(got bad ratings) Last Exile Legend of the Galactic Heroes(continue it, but probably won't happen) Mnemosyne Otogizoushi Phantom - Requiem for the Phantom RahXephon Saikano(apparently they cry all the time there) Shion no Ou Blue Gender would be a good choice to watch. I enjoyed the show. The show is very dark, and I really liked the mecha vs alien parts. I think not enough people have watched the show for whatever reason, which is unfortunate IMO.
I agree, despite some character annoyances, Blue Gender is a very underrated show. Along with Last Exile, Phantom and maybe Saikano, they're the only shows worth watching from that list. Actually idk Otogizoushi, it doesn't seem too terrible either so someone else will have to tell you about that.
And oh, can I ask one last thing about FSN and the h scenes. They are not voiced, why is this? Is it common for visual novels?
|
All VNs are voiced now. I think that games like Tsukihime and F/SN aren't voiced simply because they are older.
|
like I said, it's voiced but not the h scenes, I don't think it has anything to do with its age...
|
Type-moon just has a thing against voices, partly has to do with Nasu''s descriptive writing style. MahouYoru is supposed to be unvoiced as well.
If there are voices, then you are playing...wait what voices? I don't recall any voice in the PC versions. Some things might be all-age PS2 ver getting its voice ripped and patched into game, would explain the lack of voices for h scenes.

Lol thanks for the heads up darth hahaha

Yea there is a realta-nua patch for the PC, I'm surprised you didn't know. Ok, so there's a mature PS2 version with h scene voices too? I thought they just didn't make voices for the h scenes so it confused me a little.

Ecael 6:24 pm hmm can't find my copy of kagetsu tohya~ Southlight 6:25 pm innocent grey! Ecael 6:25 pm that can wait lol Southlight 6:25 pm <(゜ロ゜; )>ノォオオオオオ!! Ecael 6:26 pm weird can't find my copy might need to go redownload that Southlight 6:28 pm <(゜ロ゜; )>ノォオオオオオ!!
|
Nah, I don't particularly keep up with the patches partly because I don't consider them particularly necessary. Anything not on the PC is always all age, so no voices exist for the h-scenes.
and it looks like I can't find my copy of kagetsu tohya and some stuff, guess it got caught in my series of hdd failures last year, might just redownload type-moon things~
edit - lol uta

It is still a pretty sad story, but I couldn't stop laughing at that sex scene. Edit: + Show Spoiler [Saikano] +At least the scenes where Chise is in her weapon form are great. Especially when she narrates her letters to Shuuji.
"Are you satisfied with your little war? It looks like it is my turn now." *Energy wings, everybody dies* "Shuu-chan, I've destroyed another city today." It's good if you're ok with absolutely horrendous art. You thought Logh had bad art? It's MILES better than Saikano.
And Despera needs to hurry up and arrive... god dammit 
And yeah, just finished one of the Saya no Uta routes. It was very, um, gripping. And pretty fucked up lol :p
|
Horrendous? I really liked Shin Takahashi's art and Gonzo's animated version. I guess to each their own 
SaiKano was one of my favorites during my college days. It's pretty heartbreaking, especially if you get attached to certain characters. The drama is a lot more serious, so the love triangles and (mostly implied) sex scenes did not feel gimmicky nor cheesy to me.
I guess it just fits my taste for slice of life romance with supernatural/sci-fi without cheesy amounts of fanservice (see KyoAni/Key). But SaiKano just has a lot darker mood than AIR/Kanon/Clannad.

"Flgl>=7" means Flag L must be greater or equal to 7 for that scene to occur. If you notice, there are blocks with labels like "Flgl+=1". This is the trigger for that specific flag. So in this case, you'd have to trigger 7 Flag L events to pass that scene.

sounds reasonable after you get behind the meaning of the letters

Yeah, it's easy to understand once you figure out that it's pseudocode. They just picked lousy names for their variables.

I started watching Bakuman. Kind of fun so far. Characters are pretty easy to like as well.

These statistics are really interesting, although the posting trends per user are stacked too much in the lower part to make out individual users. :/
G-Sen is pretty good so far (I'm at the scene where "Maou" is introduced for the first time, with the game). The music is pretty much the best thing, really helps to set the scene each time.

God damn. Just under 25% of my posts are in this thread.

Nice work, Spazer. Are you into statistics or something?

Nice work, Spazer. Are you into statistics or something? Well, it's interesting stuff. Plus I kinda wanted to see how many posts I had in this thread. Sometimes it feels like this is the only place I come to TL for these days.
I already had the general framework set up from the Most Bans on TL thread, so I only needed to figure out how to pull stuff from the web without copy pasting 700 pages. It's always gratifying to see something work after 12 hours of coding~
