RIP 😔

Lol, that's alright. I've been extremely late with my reply as well, due to having spent the majority of my time on preparing for a certification exam. Now that I've finished it, I can afford to spend more time on MAL for a little while.

I see. A friend of mine who considers the FSN VN a masterpiece, had told me that the anime adaptation isn't doing so hot compared to the source, particularly the second cour, which is blazing through the material without focusing on Shirou's inner struggles. As an anime-only viewer, however, I don't have any problems with Ufotable's adaptation, as I find both the story and the character interactions really engaging to watch. Looking forward to Shirou vs Archer and Shirou vs Gilgamesh a lot, too!

Same. I also hold Fate/Zero in higher regard, because of how mature the characters are. Not to mention I find Kiritsugu's character far more interesting than Shirou's.

Oh nice, you read Umineko too? I finished that one not too long ago myself, actually, and boy did I love the story a lot. I only finished the first series so I haven't got to Chiru yet, but the story was definitely complex, moreso than Higurashi's.

Good stuff reading Hakomari as well, dude. That's, like, my favorite LN of all time! Can't wait for the last volume to be translated since volume 6 ended on a big cliffhanger.

I see. Well, I'll probably read that eventually then. Have you read the manga titled 'A Lollypop or a Bullet'? It's another depressing series that revolves around the life of an outcast girl. Do read it if you haven't already.

That's why I seldom ever visit the forums, much less comment there. =p

I noticed that you had finished the F/SN VN ages ago, but never gave it a score. How would you rate it? I'm still somewhere in the early stage of the Fate route; just haven't found the time for it... But yeah, Ufotable's adaptation has been great so far, and I'm guessing that it's staying fairly true to the VN. Still, there's bound to be a lot of character monologue left out for Shirou, which may lead the anime-only viewers to think of him as a naive pacifist when he probably isn't.

Haha, I can relate to that. G-Senjou was one heck of a fun ride for me as well, and to this day, I still consider it one of the best VNs out there. But, I definitely regard Muv-Luv Alternative as the best story ever in VNs, and probably also the most emotional piece of fiction I've experienced up till now. You really should try to read it one day; it'll likely blow you away, and perhaps also renew your interest in VNs at the same time. :)

Yeah, I've been extremely busy these days too. Barely been keeping up with the few seasonal anime I've selected, and haven't marathoned a series in ages. Hell, I'm not even active on this site when it comes to casual conversations anymore. I just reply whenever I get a break. Oh well, that's life for ya.

Nope, but I'll add it to my PTR list. Is it any good?

Oyasumi Punpun is a powerful work, one that many consider to be a true masterpiece. But, be aware that it's a depressing title that deals with the ugly side of human nature, so if that's not your cup of tea then you're not likely going to like it much. Otherwise, it's a must-read. :)

It isn't bad at all if you ask me, although its true route is rather controversial among the readers.

I'm doing alright, quite busy with my studies, but still occasionally finding the time for anime and VNs. How about you? Ah, I should get started on Oregairu S2 one of these days. Absolutely liked the first season and, from what fans of the LN are saying, season 2's content should be even better if it adapts the source material properly.

I'm more hyped for the second season of UBW myself, to be honest. :)

I see, that's too bad. I'm not terribly excited to watch it anymore after what you said, honestly. But, well, good to know that it at least has a few great things going for it.

Superb soundtrack, as expected from Kajiura Yuki~ :)

By the way, I finished Rewrite recently, and it's the longest VN I've played up to now. Was totally worth it though. While it isn't anywhere near as emotional as Clannad is, the story is really well thought out, and the characters are all affable to boot. One of the heroines, even made it to my top 10 character list. You should try it out some day, man.

I see, thanks for the input. I don't think many people have watched Mai Hime, which may be the reason why it's rarely brought up in comparison to other mahou shoujo shows. Madoka Magica is simply much more popular and well-known among newbies to anime, as almost everyone who's into the medium has seen, or at least, has heard of it. I probably should check out Mai Hime eventually, just to see how good it is.

How was Yuuki Yuuna for you? I've been meaning to check out that show, because of the rumors I've heard that it's similar to Madoka Magica.

Yeah. GITS is love. GITS is life.

Merry Christmas!

Since you're a GitS fan I think you might like this

I haven't really thought about it but i believe the only part of Tadakuni's dream was his conversation with Nago, or maybe even the conversation with his little sister was also included.

xD. Anyway thanks for adding

That compatibility...

Yeah, I thought the live action film overplayed the comedy just a little too much. It got to the point where I could no longer identify with the severity of the crisis at times, which attenuated the tension quite a bit. That, and the cop-out ending really bugged me. But otherwise, it was an alright movie, I guess.

I'm making slow progress on Koe no Katachi, but I'm enjoying it a lot. Liking how most characters in this manga are getting their fair share of developments, instead of just staying as one-dimensional supporting characters all the time. Ueno, in particular, impressed me with her character complexity. At first, I disliked her for being a total bully to Nishimiya, and for hiding her true personality underneath that fake "nice girl" persona. But, just like Ami from Toradora, Ueno undergoes some pretty realistic changes after realizing her wrongdoings. And unlike Ishida, she's not afraid of confronting her problems head-on, and she's very upfront (albeit, arguably too direct) about her feelings. Although I don't necessarily find her very likable, at the very least, I can respect her character for being well-written.

So yeah, looking forward to catching up with it.
