Was the cat dying the saddest moment in Grisaia?
Gabriel Lewis
The part where she's forced to eat it, is the worst I think
Jeremiah Hughes
Is there a sadder one?
Sachi... why? maybe?

So what girl is best in evangile?
Isaiah Russell
Asuho
Alexander Morris
She can't be sad, she has a cat. You can't be sad if you have a cat.
Josiah Russell
The headmistress.
Bentley Sanders
I like lolis.
Asher Long
Who was he referring to here? What did he mean by it?
Kevin Jenkins
What do we do if Dies Irae comes out and it's not good fellow EOPs?
Joseph Hall
Ritsuko. The polls don't lie
Noah Edwards
Halfway through the 20th century by a European country? Either Hitler or Stalin. I'm guessing he's referring to the holocaust.
Jack Ward
Steins;gate does use a lot of alternate history so that would make sense
Andrew White
It'll be good

Andrew Edwards
To gloat to EOPs
Benjamin Foster
They aren't, though. Many new releases are coming out every year that won't see a translation, if ever, for years. This isn't going to stop; knowing Japanese gives access to an endless supply of visual novels.
Not that you actually know Japanese, of course.
Levi Russell
Most JOPs have moved on from Dies Irae dude, it's old news.
Nathaniel Moore
And yet it's still near the top of every JOP's best VN lists. Doesn't matter if it's old or there are new shit if the new shit is all crap.
Brayden Collins
We're all backing the Dies Irae kickstarter right?
Grayson Barnes
Good thing all that new shit isn't crap, then.
Ayden Williams
I would never support a vile asshole
Thomas Morgan
>gloat to EOPs >when they're getting uncensored Rance and best version of Dies You mean get gloated on by EOPs
Robert Ramirez
Is it just me or has huke's art gotten worse, not better, since the original S;G?
Julian Turner
Gloated on by EOPs who haven't read Rance Quest, IX, or the remakes of 1, 2 and 3? You must be joking, right?
Camden Hall
I also think it has gotten worse. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it might be a lot less detailed?
Aiden Stewart
Some of them look good Others turned out like this
Juan Hernandez
This looks like a good month for VNs, bros. What are you all buying?
Jaxson Wood
>buying
Jordan Parker

Ethan Davis
It's only there ironically to troll EOPs. Based on the translated parts so far it appears to be a bad version of FSN.
Austin Powell
What does she smell like? I want to pet her so bad.
Grayson Long
Yeah, seems more inconsistent. I started raising eyebrows about huke's recent stuff when they designed that abomination Atilla for FGO.
I still like the style, though. It just seems to me that the original feels more consistent in quality.
Levi Taylor
her hair is a miracle

Mason Ramirez
Preordered the Rance bundle as soon as that dude posted the link to it last thread. Gonna be doing the same for SukiSuki and Happymaher. I'll buy 18+ Meikyuu if it comes out this month - big if. Nothing else comes to mind.
Ryder Ramirez
Cuck
William Harris
I can't wait to knob Felis.
Chase Baker
>buy Well, I'll buy any of the games that I like. Planning to play/read Himawari, SG; 0, and Rance this month. Relatively packed month since they're all long titles.
David Thomas
Imma buy Rance when I get paid, nothing else at the moment but I might buy Maitetsu if SP does really come up with a "solution to make everyone happy".
Mason Reed
W-what about our MG boycott, my dudes?
Oliver Butler
>Conjueror's april fools joke was about working on Dies Irae with Gare and Lemnisca was true Damn

Dies Irae is about the humanization of characters in a shounen action story or video game plot. Everyone realizes they are characters in an arbitrary system and they are stuck onto that system for various reasons. If you have ever watched Princess Tutu, imagine that but with Nazis.
I'd say people often imagine Dies as this Bleach ripoff and it doesn't help that no one can really describe what Dies is. And if I talk about it, it will basically be me citing Linda Hutcheon's theories of parody. But if there is another way to talk about Dies, I'd try writing a post on it. Maybe. I don't care too much about chuu2 stuff, but Dies is definitely something people should experience. The message is important and I find Masada's approach (modernizing the obtuse thinkers like Goethe and Nietzche for a video game audience) very appealing. I would write more, but then I'd be writing a blog post.
And no one wants that.

Do I talk about Rance here or the Rance general?
Jordan Morgan
Why would a train ever swim?
Jose Jenkins
>why would plane ever trek mountains
Luis Clark
that sounds wonderful
;_;
Gabriel Green
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't this person saying that the story is basically a Bleach ripoff and they can't actually explain the plot in detail because even attempting to summarize the plot would make it sound like a parody of itself?
And they're trying to praise the game here?+
Joseph Roberts
>kastelpls Into the trash it goes. Another pretentious autist who reads real literature to cover up for their insecurities over liking japanese powerpoints.
Michael Cruz
The Rance general if you want a good discussion
Grayson Watson
Dropped that shit at the end of the first route. #notworthit.
Oliver Garcia
Can anyone link me the Dies Irae kickstarter? Might actually back it if they include physical
Jose Rogers
It's not up yet.
Gabriel Scott
I've never read Dies irae, but I think what he means in that post is that there is a way that the story is told the way it is. From what I have heard about Dies irae, the story seems to be very self-aware in that it is aware of the fact that it is over the top and ridiculous, and this becomes a major point of the story. I think that's why he says that nobody can really explain it properly.
Owen Brooks
You don't boycott rape games, especially not Rance.
Ayden Lee
>no victory threesome with Konami
disappointing
Matthew Robinson
Lol I thought it was Ishima Kaigen until this guy posted about trains.
Ryder Perry
Rance barely counts as rape since most girls end up loving it.
Juan Turner

> As the Soviet Union marches on Berlin in May of 1945, a secretive group of sorcerers and madmen gathers to perform a terrible ritual. They care nothing for the fate of the Reich. To them, the countless lives lost in the battle are the perfect sacrifice to fuel their spell. After the war, they vanish and are not heard from again, except in rumor. One day, it is whispered, they will return. And on that day, the world will end. Fear the demons in human form. Fear the Longinus Dreizehn Orden.
>Flash forward to present-day Japan. Fujii Ren is released from the hospital after two months spent recovering from wounds suffered in a vicious brawl with his best friend Shiro. As Christmas approaches, he tries to rebuild his life, clinging to what brilliance remains. But even that is soon threatened. For the knights of the LDO have returned, and brought the apocalypse to his doorstep. Forced to wield the same unholy power as his foes, will Ren be able to protect what is dear to him from the inhuman might of the Longinus Dreizehn Orden?
Why would you fight so hard with your best friend that you end up in the hospital for months? If you fought that hard then he must not have been your best friend in the first place. Pretty unrealistic desu. Dropped.

He said he will abandon you. So Ren went into yandere mode. Our MC is both tsundere and yandere.

That's wrong though, Mao killed 78million in China, and Stalin 23million and before the atomic bomb. both were worse than Hitler.
