why did this histrionic and corny series have such a profound influence on so many jap games?

Which youtube essayist did you pick that phrasing up from?

because lynch is basically a 2000s VN writer

Twin Peaks has quite a bit of bad but so much good that that it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. No one ever remembers it for the shitty filler that goes nowhere. Its characters, themes and metaphysics are all compelling as hell.
>>
>>737298447
Japs relate to the characters crying every five minutes over the death of a single whore.

Because the creator understood that sometimes it's more important to convey vibes rather than convey specific details.

every time a vn is created god flips a coin to see if it's lynchian kino or just a generic self insert wank slop. Sometimes the coin lands on it's edge and it's both.

there are no 12 year old kawaii pantsu schoolgirls that say shit like "e-eto anon-kun uwaah" so its not japanese

by your own logic everyone posting on 4chan must be amarican, since their posts are western-coded slop made for a Western audience.

>>737298447
The actual, real answer is:
Because Twin Peaks is a casual, wide-audience targeting work of magical realism, and magical realism is a extremely popular, even mainstream genre in Japan.
Unlike the West, where magical realism was always a very obscure school of fiction and frankly, for a lot of people just fundamentally unintuitive way of telling stories, Japan is already widely accepting and accustomed to it. TP is deeply drenched in Americana, which in itself is attractive to Japs for the same reason why we are fascinated by Japan, but being steeped in that magical element, it effectively talked to them in language or form that they are extremely familiar with: exotic setting but accessible format and tone.

It's a perfect fit for Japanese public.
It's the same reason why they are so damn obsessed with Kafka, with Art Nouveau movement, and why I'm sure they'd freak out about IPL games if they ever got a decent translation and marketing.

Do the japs think James was always cool?

>>737305381
doubt it, baldness is seen as inherently funny and pathetic to most japanese so someone with that hairline would be seen as uncool by most.

The Persona games, specially with the third one, became heavily inspired by Twin Peaks. The Velvet Room is a carbon copy of the Red Room.

>>737298447
I'm watching this for the first time and I feel that I'm tripping balls 24/7 I just finished the first season and Cooper got shoot
Do I watch the 2017 season? I've sworn to stop watching anything post 2012.

It is happening again...

4chan was made for Americans. Moot wanted to leave Something Awful behind and have his own place to be a shitter, he took a copypasta a popular Japanese form and made 4chan.

Also it was made for Americans. The fact everyone globally comes here should be concerning to you.

I've dropped it twice before the second season ends. I can only get passed a little bit after David Duchovney comes onto the show since I'm a big X-Files fan. Nothing really happens once the Laura Palmer business is wrapped up.

General concensus about Twin Peaks is that it's Kino and inspired a lot other media today.
