  1. Ha, I didn't know you were doing VN of the year thing. Good idea!
    Mine would be...

    *drum roll*

    Go Go Nippon. I think it really is an achievement as far as the amount of development went into it. Great ideas, designs, and a very friendly introduction in the medium. Too bad doesn't get the amount of attention it deserves. It's like the Blade Runner of VNs!

  2. Lovely,just listened to the episode and thanks for the shout out and comment feedback in the episode. Yeah the Int can be Intentions/Intent/Interest/ its due to a interest of murder mystery.

    It is a shame that deeper heavy story novels are selling less then ero heavy titles, both style have there merits. I love darker eroge for my fetish fix like companies such has lilith-soft cover along with there amazing artwork, but still love a good story like hiragushi, KnS and so forth that leave a mark on the soul with a diferent deeper meaning and not to satisfy my perverted desires. ;) The variety is one of the cool things about the varied media of visual novels/eroge.

    Im a collector of English translated visual novels/Eroge and due to this prefer waiting out for hard-copies especially with Mangagamer like you metioned has dlc with drm is intangible and I find it limiting.Even more so if buying a download then having to re-buy for a hard copy.

    @matty I still gotta play Go Go Nippon mine's still sealed!

  3. I thought of another interesting question, any one can answer here on the blog if they want to. If you could have one Japanese story heavy VN and one heavy Eroge translated, what would you want above all others? (Exclude any fan translations or upcoming translation)

    My answer wouldn't come easy and took a lot of thinking has there are so many game deserving of this title such has some Nitro plus games, type moons new game, the never released Eve: The Fatal Attraction and so forth.
    In the end if I was to choose it would be "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Latest Edition~ for visual novel, due to seeing the anime series and how it deal with PTSD and deeper people issues, and having a great varied yet deep story.(BTW I loved Muv-Luv Trilogy that was fan translated) Though some more crime/mystery vns would also be cool but only know of a small handful.

    Again for eroge it would be hard to choose i like darker eroge, and would like some Delta/Trois,Tsurumiki.older Ail-soft and BPT games who also are dark but have nice artwork and cover various fetishes, Overall thinking about it I came to the conclusion of Koutetsu no Majo Anneroze due to the factor of loving the art work characterization and various sex scenes.Though again there are so many I would love to see translated.

    Sorry if my post are very length, I just wanna stimulate thoughtful discussion about one of my hobbies and tend to ramble.

    1. There are really just so many that I'd like see translated. Ero-heavy game that I'd like to see localized would probably be something like Jellyfish's Sisters for obvious reasons. A story heavy game? Practically anything by Alicesoft I guess...

  4. I had a question for you regarding your choice of School Days as game of the year. I'm fairly new to visual novels, and when I find one, I search out all the media I can find for it. With Clannad and shuffle, I found anime and and manga as well and enjoyed all of it. When I heard about School days, the first thing I found was the anime series. I watched the series and very soon started to despise the main character. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find a character I didn't dislike by the end. Without ally spoiling, the ending of this anime left me shocked and literally sickened. As a result, I never followed through with the VN. I wanted to ask you if the visual novel follows the anime storyline to the same horrible ending, or are they completely different. I know some visual novels have "bad" endings, but if school days has the same despicable characters, then I sure don't want to play it.

    1. The School Days anime can diverge widely from the visual novel story line. The visual novel has over 30 different endings but is known most for its bad endings where at least one of the character dies, which is why they went for the worst possible end in the anime. However, when you play the role of Makoto in the VN you can basically decide if you want to be a despicable human being, or not. You can go for the happy endings by making choices that favor one of the girls without hurting the other, or you can try to sleep around and get killed from doing it.

    2. Thanks for the response. 30 endings sounds overwhelming! Maybe I'll give it a look after all.
