A Very Personal “Review” of Shiei no Sona-nyl ~What a Beautiful Memories~
I fucking love trains and bedtime stories.
A Comprehensive Review of Shiei no Sona-nyl: What a Beautiful Memories
Riding Hot Air Balloons to the North Pole as a Cute Alchemist Girl: Thoughts on Atelier Ayesha
Imagine your cute imouto (voiced by the lovely Mariya “Stocking” Ise) got spirited away. Lay down on the couch right there and tell me how you feel. Does it feel bad? Horrible? Go on: you can cry.
Note: Ayesha didn’t cry. She went on a fucking journey.
The “Definition” of a Visual Novel
You might have read a short interview by Kai to me (it’s the last one) and thought, “Wow, Kastel, is your definition of a visual novel that vague? Anything with text? Really? Go back to reporting Clannad Man, you noob.”
Well, I like to retract my previous stance on the definition of visual novels. Instead, I offer you this new one: Visual novels do not have a definition. #wittgenstein #tractatus #derrida #deconstruction #yolo
A Tract on Why I Love Subarashiki Hibi
1. Subarashiki Hibi is the best work of art I’ve ever laid my hands upon.
1.1. This includes the books I’ve read, the films I’ve watched, the paintings I admired, the music I’ve listened to, the poetry I’ve recited, the plays I’ve loved, and everything else that can be seen as art.
1.11. Not to mention it has defeated works that have stayed in my top works of art lists for years (Muv-Luv Alternative, Jude the Obscure, If On a Winter’s Night to name a few)
1.111. SubaHibi is larger than any of those mentioned.
1.12. It may be years for SubaHibi to lose its seat (for me at least) as the #1 artwork of all time.
1.2. And there are many reasons — reasons that are best written in the form of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus.
1.21. However, it is not to be pretentious. It is to condense multitudes of thoughts (that, if written like an essay will be more than 3,000 words) into a readable, simple tract.
1.3. The whole sense of this review might be summed up the following words: Subarashiki Hibi is the kind of work that should be part of academic literature.
No Best Girls: Closing Thoughts on White Album 2
A short writeup on White Album 2 and stuff.
Okay, White Album 2 is Not White Album 1
This is a list of what White Album 2 is and what it is not.
Harumade, Kururu: Harems in My Speculative Fiction
If this game ever gets translated (which is very likely because I know a translator is working on it), Katawa Shoujo developers will have a ball with it. I can imagine those tweets already: “Porn. All of it is porn.” They will be far worse than the ones on Kajitsu. They’ll also go on Dan Kim’s podcast to utter their disgust over Harumade, Kururu: “Those damn nukige are nothing but filth. Harukuru is merely a generic harem with some awful SF backdrop.”
And I’ll have to copy everything down they say and change every instance of said visual novel to Katawa Shoujo. It’s exhausting 😦
But for once, our KS devs are partially right. As in 1/100000000th right.
Thoughts on Smoking a Nitro+ VN Named Dra+Koi
A boy-meets-girl story in a world under attack by dragons.
With such a description, you can’t really expect much. But then again, with such a provocative blog title on a blog named “Oppai is Justice”, you also can’t expect anything.
