Seriously surprising that Nina's birth year wasn't leaked after her entry in that old Osaka Rice Maiden pageant was discovered. We learned that her real name is Takeuchi Nina (竹内初奈) though.
The girls always used to state that Kotoko was the oldest of the group, so we can infer that she was born later than Aug 1998 at the very least.

>How does that work? Is it about 2hus roaming around the map after they enter, or simply them spawning in different places?
They still arrive normally at the entrance (ignoring the characters with unique movement mechanics, which ignore this system entirely), all this really does is set a destination for them when they first enter the map, depending on which places or characters they want to and are able to visit, which then forces them to steadily move there before they start wandering randomly like usual.
The only thing this really changes is that characters now go deeper into the maps and spread out more instead of everyone remaining around the entrance area all the time.

The developer said he made the system somewhat generic so that other things could make use of it, so I'm hoping it eventually gets expanded into a sort-of "scenario mode" where you have a specific objective and restrictions, sorta like what other sandboxy games (city builders, tycoon games, etc.) have.
It was a blast to play through and I'm kinda disappointed there's not much extra content in the post-game like characters acknowledging what happened.

Post Japanese gravure here
Remember this is a SFW board
Relax, and rejuvenate your eyes with beauties.
A gravure idol (グラビアアイドル gurabia aidoru), often abbreviated to gradol (グラドル guradoru), is a Japanese female model who primarily models on magazines, especially men's magazines, photobooks or DVDs. Gravure idols appear in a wide range of photography styles and genres. Their photos are largely aimed at male audiences with poses or activities intended to be provocative or suggestive, generally accentuated by an air of playfulness and innocence rather than aggressive sexuality. Although gravure models may sometimes wear clothing that exposes most of their body, they seldom appear fully nude.

Not going to lie, I liked Tama most out of the four main heroines. Tama > Mai > Mizuho > Yui, all four very good though.

My overall top 3 favorites were Tomomi, Sakurako, Ryoko though. Really liked them. Special mention to Yoko.

Also ranking the chads: Saionji > Haruhiko (looks like my dad exactly so I was weirded out the whole game) > Kenji
>>
>>50538521
For me it's Mizuho>Yui>Mai>Tama. There's no excuse making Tamaki already has a boyfriend. Mai feels untouchable(and she's already the chad's childhood friend), and Yui feels more like a sister to me, so that leaves Mizuho being the friendly normal girl that actually appreciate (you) when Miko is sleeping and you don't take a peek like a pervert. And doesn't guilt trip me when I don't choose her like Tina.
Funny that Kakyuusei 2 doesn't have antagonistic chad.

Essentially, as the subject implies, I am curious about the current state of Otakudom in 2026. In particular, there are three main things I find myself coming back to when I think about the Otaku identity. This may seem a little bit overexaggerated or a non-issue to some, and I am not trying to make it something bigger than it has to be, but feel it could be interesting to discuss.
Mainly: 1) The current state Animanga, VNs, other cultural things, etc. being seen solely as things to consume rather than produce yourself or discuss with others
As of late, it seems like people simply consume things to be part of the club without actually caring about the work much - it's why you see so many video essays, people not knowing how to get deeper into things without being recommended something,etc.
2) How to garner a community, big or small, that values creatives in the western hemisphere
Obviously we would never have our own comiket, or LN / VN industry here, but more fan creations would be cool
3) Where to even gather online for such things
The internet is only getting smaller and existing just in the small bubble of 4chan is not good

I could've expanded or tried to articulate myself more but thought I would be brief. Basically, what is the modern otaku like to you and how can it change for the better. For me, I just wonder what there is beyond pure consumption of works.

"Otaku" culture has been dead since it became about jacking off over otaku culture and not sci-fi, fantasy, and military nerds obsessing over cartoons and video games.

If you want a community, go start an online old anime watching or manga artist club.

>I really haven't enjoyed the direction Japanese media has taken in the last 10 years. It feels gravely inbred and soulless compared to the 70s - 10s.

>It's all so... self-referential.
It's been that way since the turn of the millennium when shit like digi charat and excel saga and nurse witch komugi were popular.

and the ones I mentioned were at best self-deprecating and at worst outright mocking otaku culture of the time.

I really do think that people who say this about anime are remembering old seasons with rose tinted glasses.

Let's take 2006, because it's 20 years ago and probably within a few years of when seasonal anime became popular in the west. Right now, Mushishi, Shana, F/SN, and Ergo Proxy would be on. Ignoring that 2 of those big names were shitty, what about Lemon Angel project? Kagi Hime Monogatari? Yomigaeru Sora? Kage Kara Mamoru? Nobody remembers the other 90% of the season that was crap.

The one major difference between then and now is longer running shows. There were a lot more 2 cour titles.
