Ladies and gentlemen, who is your favorite character and why, and how did you get introduced to this game?
>>738154125>favorite characterPic related>how did you get introduced to this gameyoutube
>>738154125You're asking this on THIS website? On THIS board? We were introduced before it existed.
>>738154125>favorite characterKenji>whyHe's based>how did you get introduced to this game4channel.org
>>738154127Let's be honest, the majority of /a/nons today probably haven't even heard of Katawa Shoujo.>>738154125It's Lilly Satou, but I always kind of felt that was cheating since out of all the girls she seems the most "normal" on top of bring prim and proper
>>738154125Shizune is the best character, but has the worst route. Lily probably has the best route, imo. I got introduced to it by a Minecraft Youtuber I liked playing the game. Millbee, was his name. Dude was a pretty great performer and I still use a lot of his voices when I replay it myself.
>>738154125I got the good ending on Rin's route with no problem at all because I understood it. When people say it's complicated or doesn't make sense I just think they're too self absorbed to try to understand other people.
>>738154131You may be autistic anon-kun
>>738154125Lily, probably. I don't remember a lot, that was some 13 years ago. But I remember having the most fun with her route. But then I never finished Rin's route, so maybe I would've liked that one?Kenji is also a stand-out character tho.I don't remember how I got introduced to it
>>738154125>favorite character and whyRin! She's really cute, I love the way her route is written, and I relate to her struggles with being understood and understanding others.>how did you get introduced to this gameThis is kind of a weird one. I heard about it from a few places. First that I remember was a huggbees stream many years ago, then a few years after that I saw it again by sorting by highest rated on f95. Didn't read anything about it, but downloaded it anyway. It wasn't until a few months later that I played it when that gigguck guy made a video about it. I didn't actually watch the video, but it got people talking about katawa shoujo again, including /v/ where I saw anons saying that it's actually really really good and heartfelt so I gave it a try and here I am now.
>>738154132She wanted to do art for art's sake and not profit or prestige, and what she needed was someone to support her decision rather than push her towards professional artists who already worked one guy to death.
>>738154125I'm an Emifag. She's cute!
>>738154126It dropped during my birthday party and I went from the bar to a LAN center to start reading it.
>>738154128I'll never forget Kenji taking his glasses off and the manly picnic. As far as comic relief bro characters go, he's still a favorite of mine.
>>738154125Rin, best theme too.
>>738154125>favorite characterEmi because I wanted Hisao to get better physically as well as emotionally. Her route was the only one that really dealt with that and honestly she also had the best personality of the girls all things considered. >how did you get introduced to this gameI was posting here when it was released.
>>738154125Emi was my first route when I was playing blind and choosing the options that felt most natural/compelling to me. I even got the Misha bonus scene.So I love all the Katawas, but it's Emi for me.
>>738154129Lily's route just has this vibe of being the "true" route, too, I don't know how to describe it.
>>738154125Should I replay KS? I don't really like VNs anymore.
It was a cultural phenomenon for a bit, and I miss it.
>Be me a decade or so ago>Pretty fucking autistic but managed to get a gf somehow>Play KS>Become obsessed with the idea of finding a cripple gf>Convince myself I'm dissatisfied with my current relationship and break up with gf>"Now to find myself a crippled baddie">don't
>>738154125>who is your favorite character and whyEmi I like her determintion how did you get introduced to this game?Well one day I was browsing the 4chan for internets some OP posted the link to the torrent talking about a new game about crippled girls and the rest is history.
>>738154125>who is your favorite character The one and only.
>>738154125Rin by far/v/
>>738154132isn't it the opposite? needing to understand what someone feels when they can't exactly articulate it themselves
>>738154138Man, the OST just reeks a hot afternoon summer so much.
>>738154150Yeah but Rin is autistic
>>738154125Lilly is canon.I was one of the developers.Also, go back to /v/.
>>738154153>I was one of the developers.go fuck yourself you sell out
>>738154153Are you the guy who ruined Hanako's route?
>>738154155No way.
>>738154155Yes, I did it because I hate you specifically. Really, it’s no one’s fault but yours.
>>738154153>thinking canon mattersDeveloper or not, you are a faggot.
>>738154153This is not the significant statement you think it is. The developers already stated all the routes are canon.
Was Kenji meant to represent /pol/ or did /pol/ turn into Kenji? Somebody clear up the timeline for me.
>>738154125Favorite is the cripsy cutie.I learned about it from here while it was being made. I still play katawa crash.
>>738154125This. >>738154127. I followed a bit of its development way back in the day.As for best girl, I legit don't know. They're all great, it feels bad choosing one, but if I had to, I'd say Hanako. She was my first choice, followed by Emi, Rin, Lilly, and then Shizune.
>>738154160Katawa Shoujo was released before /pol/ even existed. A22 was the main writer for Kenji and apparently he's partially based on an exaggerated version of himself. The writers talked about how it's funny that Kenji was written as a joke but then those kinds of people became a big, serious thing so it's like Kenji predicted them.
>>738154163>was released before /pol/ even existedNo.
>>738154125>gamecrapawa shitjo is not a game
>>738154164Well Kenji was released before /pol/ existed because of Act 1.
>>738154163/pol/ existed long before but jewt nuked it
>>738154167/new/ isn't /pol/
>>738154125>who is your favorite characterRin Tezuka. Best written route, and all her dialogue is amazing and carefully crafted. She's hilarious but also the most profound and insightful of the girls in a weird way. She has the quality of being the true "final girl" in that her route is intended to be played last (the same way Emi's route is intended to be the first one) since her route is the hardest and the most convoluted to get and the hardest to get the good ending on. However, I got Rin's route and her good ending on my first playthrough. I must've really resonated with her.
Not Japanese Dogshit "visual novel" and I said so from the start, when all of you """oldfags""" were in your "i want a heckin 3dpd gf" era
Rin my beloved.

>>738154172>>>/vt/
It's been like 10 years and I still haven't read Lily or Rin's routes.
>>738154174Bruh. You ate the cake and left the strawberries.
>>738154174Don't do Rin route.
>>738154175I don't read much, and I think Shizune's long, boring route wore me out.

why is this thread among the newest threads? i sort by creation date and its at the top.
>>738154287a conspiracy...
Heckin based mods moved our thread from /a/ to /v/ instead of deleting it because Katawa Shoujo is the most respected VN :)
>>738154177Yeah, but now you're done with the worst part. There's nothing but gold if you keep digging.
>>738154241Meant for >>738154169>>738154171
>>738154153>Also, go back to /v/.
>>738154174Do Rin's route.
