>>738300534On that note, should I get Air-pilled?It's summer soon, seemingly the right time for it.
>>738300589I watched the anime, it was very good!Misuzu is the cutest...Couldn't get into the VN tho
>>738300794skill issue
>>738300892Just can't really get into the repeating routes thing, I don't think it adds much until the endI think the writing was good fwiw, it really sold the setting of being this oppresively hot seaside town in the summer.Also the anime only being 12 episodes does hurt it a bit.I still want to watch the movie even though everyone says its not as good as the anime.
>>738298367this is a 子
>>738301035yes, 女の子
>>738300534god I miss the era when I had his shirt

>>738301206Probably offically at some point, I bought a fan printed one off of ebay back in 2006-ish, of course it was bad quality and didn't last long
>>738301435> The Air anime was 20 years agoI'm going to become a crow
>>738301480perfect time to give it a rewatch!and play KEY's new VN whenever that releases
>>738298367I hope you wished Sayuri a happy birthday yesterday.
>>738301508>and play KEY's new VN whenever that releasesTwo weeks ago?
>>738301190Secondening this
>>738301592any anons played it yet?
>>738301681on /jp/
I don't know if Key have gotten much worse over the last decade and a half or if I've finally grown out of these stories. At least the music is still as good as ever.
How are Key releases on Steam? Good enough or completely botched?
>>738301681Finished reading all the subroutes and two main routes. I think it's good enough to give a read if you're not burnt out on key's storytelling since you kind of have an idea on what the twist is for each character.
>>738302207A Key girl...with breasts??
>>738300589I never understood its appeal, at least compared to the other old Key VNs.
>>738302207>>738301681>>738301592>>738301508I had no idea. What is it about? I still haven't read Summer Pockets even...
>>738301035OUT OF TEN
>>738306169from vndb>Ten years after it was buried, the day to open the time capsule was approaching. The protagonist, Hayakawa Mugi, along with his younger sister, Rikka, decided to visit the northern town of Masumi. The town, which makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, had a slow pace of life amidst the strong winds. Benefiting from the large windmills, life was built on experience, wisdom, and human connections. Until the promised time, Mugi decided to spend his time living a slow life in the town while interacting with the people there.I like how it specifies a "northern town". We need more stuff set in Aomori and Hokkaido!
>>738306538Yeah, it's Hokkaido.https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemoi>物語の舞台となる「真澄町」は、風車を推進している北海道苫前町がモデルの一つとなっている。And Hokkaido is very nice, I lived there for few years.
>>738306909thats pretty coolvisiting the sapporo snow festival has always been a life goal of mine. also trying that ZUN-approved beer. I generally like colder places anyway so if I did live in Japan I'd gravitate there I bet
>>738298367
I want to play Kanon but I need to get the authentic experience (english patch) on a period accurate 98 or XP computer and preferably in January. Am I being too autistic about this
>>738310413>authentic experience>english patch>>
>>738310528Yes.
>>738310684
>>738310856Cool, enjoyI don't see why you would AI upscale it though, that's the main reason I don't want to play the official english release
>>738298367there are people nostalgic for this era of anime/VNs
>>738310920It's a high quality upscaler for VNs. Generally I like the results. And turning it off is easy.Though admittedly it's best at like 720p to 1080p.
>>738310982yeah...there's something about 2000s moe. I like the style more than 80s or 90s. and its WAY better than 2010s, dont know wtf was happening back then.I'm gonna get shit for this but I actually dislike how K-ON looks, their eyes are too small
>>738300589It's great for the atmosphere. Try not to take the story too seriously because it gets REALLY fucking stupid and a bit pretentious. I kinda prefer the Dezaki movie because of it but it definitely dumb to re-use the same ending as the VN and anime. Still the best VN opening tho.
>>738310982Well yeah, Key in the late 90s and 00s were very good.
>>738311834I think my only problems with it were that it was a bit unclear that the two kids at the end are reincarnations (how does that even work while the original two are still out there), that misuzu's death broke the curse somehow, and yukito's lack of presence in the final route being unsatisfying because of his importance at the beginning and in the backstorynot that I hated it, it was more good ideas that could've used a second pass
>>738301190This when? Wheres the answer
>>738311947Yeah. Kanon and Clannad are definitely better written. Air has some really good music though and I did like the past arc. The side routes were kinda meh though and the main route wasn't much better. I'm sorry, even when trying to really put my mindset into it the whole I TURNED MYSELF IN A CROW TO SAVE YOU MISUZU made me fucking turn upside my head.
>>738312406I really like Misuzu as a character so ig I'm more willing to overlook flaws. The other routes aren't bad but it does feel like he wanted to write one story but kinda felt forced to include other girls because of the nature of what he was writing. but yeah yukito deserved better especially considering his backstory
>>738300589Read it in summer it has immaculate vibes. Misuzu and Kano have great routes.
>>738298367>>738307081This REEKS uncslop
>>738314008actually, this era of otaku culture is apparently coming back in vogue among the zoomers and alphas. lucky star stuff still gets posted and is popular.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsevTsGvJg4
CAUSE THIS IS MY UNITED STATES OF-Uguu~CAUSE THIS IS MY UNITED STATES OF-Uguu!
buhihi
>>738298367https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu6ldlMB6OY
>>738314219>coming back in vogue among the zoomers and alphaslet me guess, they saw some funny clip on tiktok and now latch onto it while having no knowledge of anything and ruin the fanbase like the other franchises they destroyed
For me it‘s Shiori
>>738298367Mugyuuu
>>738314435depends on the show. azumanga daioh is kinda like that. lucky star is pretty unblemished since most normalfags don't want to touch it cuz of how "problematic" it can be.its interesting to see which properties get a revival fandom and which don't. LS is pretty healthy for example but Haruhi Suzumiya is a ghost town.
I have no idea how the zoomers got into Subahibi
>>738301116I want that shirtGao Gao Stegosaurus
>>738314431What the hell, she‘s highly child-coded.
>>738314657that's what makes her so good, anon
>>738314435That's how it was back then, you see a clip of an anime and suddenly you are watching the whole series.
>>738315338Damn, but really, I‘d almost feel bad for plapping her.
>>738315060The only difference is that zoomers won't watch the anime, let alone read the VN. They'll comment about, like the "aesthetics" and talk about it in a performative sense.Tell them that Kanon has romance routes and they'll flip their shit saying it is "ahh diddy blud" or some inane zoomslang, much like that one viral tweet about Saya no Uta.
>>738316057hey, I read AIR with the sex scenesspeaking of, I wonder when the kud wafter translation will finish
>>738298367Yeah I also watched that video about maeda
>>738318589what video? Is something trending on social media?
>>738316057Are the sex scenes in Kanon really as superfluous and uncomfortable as people say, since the english patch has an option to disable them>t. zoomer
im glad Ayu got her happy end, tall order for key anime, probably the least painful to watch too
>>738314361It's weird that so many people cry to Clannad, a game where this absurdist comedic thing exists.
>>738319871Yes.
Uguuuuu~
>>738312406Words cannot express how much I loved and cried for Makoto. Best route and Kanon girl by far to me.
>>738303008Anon, I...
Still feels kinda unreal that this is not an edit
c-cute...
>>738300589Kanon and Air are two sides of the same coin. If you like one there's no way you won't like the other.
Tori no Uta sounds way too much like Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OZDaRhHHyM
Key's put out a lot of titles since 2020 but their best days are probably behind them.
>shy>kind>dumb>clumsy>softits a combination that sounds like it would be really common on paper, but its harder to find in games than you would think. ig game characters have to naturally be more assertive
Cutlet sandwich
what are some good linear romance vns? i dont want to make choices
>>738329880They released Anemoi recently, which is ludokino.They just put out smaller games in-between major releases.
>>738329984>I don't want the one thing that makes VNs unique
>>738330202correct
>>738329880Probably. I want to say that HBR showed that Maeda specifically is past his peak, but Angel Beats before it was never great to begin with. At least the gacha helped keep Key afloat so other writers can try their hand at such stories. The music in Key VNs is as good as ever too.
>>738329984Key has released some kinetic novels
>>738331687are they good?
>>738331919Not the anon, but Planetarian is good.
>>738331919>>738332196I liked Stella of The End
>>738332196ill have to take a look. thank you
>>738331919Harmonia is basically Planetarian 2Loopers is a long VN condensed into a 5 hours mess, altho there's a longer version coming out soon.
>>738330762HBR is great but it suffers from gacha pacing. It would be a solid story if you removed the absurd amount of filler.
>>738298367>it's been two decades since the anime remake>that doujin artist still draws Minase's special flavored jam.
>>738301003Air is one of those VNs where the side heroines are better. I couldn't get into the main story when it shifts to feudal Japan.
anime adaptations of Planetarian and Stella of the End when?
>>738335507>Planetarian...
>>738326037same holy crap. fucking teared up man.
>>738335507>anime adaptation of Planetarian when?2016.
>>738326272man key is never going to make hentai again huh :(
>>738314008Yes, we are this based.
Here's your new Key game bro. The soul of a heroine who died in a horse race is trapped within it.
>>738336984Man, modern Key is fucking boring.
>>738337037They really should beg maeda to write a full length vn again, also get tenmon and have them compose together another OST.New key vns are basically classic key ripoffs.
>>738336984Key only has been getting shittier ever since Maeda became head writing
>>738310413Kanon ENTERPRISE EDITION
What was her fucking problem?
>>738337416Romeo Tanaka syndrome.
Is the retarded magic shit actually explained in the game of Clannad? Is it justified how the main guy straight up murdered his daughter by running out into the cold?
>>738337686It's handled better, yes.
>>738337686It's explained in yukine, kotomi, misae and nagisa routes.Also borrows elements from kanon and air as a setup (living cities, lights of miracles).
>>738315060Yeah, I watched a lot of shows that I found on /f/ back then.
>>738298367That's my name, she is calling for me
