I do feel like I need to reread Shizune's later. Maybe there's themes and conflicts strung throughout it that I missed, but... I'm not feeling optimistic about that. Unless you breezed through it very fast, I think it's more likely that you just don't like the themes. I had a similar experience ...

I feel as if I might have appreciated Shizune's route more if I had done it first. I started it immediately after finishing Rin's and Emi's routes, so I think I went in with the wrong mindset. After all of the experiences in those two routes, I expected something similar in Shizune's route, but her ...

Shizune's path is my favorite. Partly because it breaks tropes that are pet peeves of mine. I was very pleased that it didn't go the way of Hisao trying to ‘fix’ her, which we know often happens with ‘cold’ characters, but rather of Hisao growing to understand and appreciate her. It wasn't that her b ...

Three things, I suppose: My vision is impaired enough that contact lenses do not exist that would enable me to get a driver's license. It has been possible through very expensive eyeglasses, but even at 25 that option is already retreating. LASIK treatments are advancing fast, though, and I'm told ...

Indeed. I really hope that the team's skill is recognized and continues in the future, even if not together. They more than deserve to profit from it, if they don't already.

Garnering sympathy unnecessary. Going for the ambitious, calculating mind was a no-brainer for me. The only challenger is Rin.

On the other hand, as an excuse for introducing others to BadLipReading's videos, I approve.

I think that my wishes would generally require additional characters. I'm interested in seeing more mental conditions explored. Not the sort that would generally land you in an institution, but which make aspects of modern life exceptionally difficult or different for the affected than most others ...

Katawa Shoujo came up as #6 after I filtered out what I don't like on VNDB and then sorted by rating, which is pretty high in a list of ~220. I was first intrigued by the pleasant art style; second because I experience some rather debilitating arrhythmia as well, caused by LQTS , which is scary ...
