When I started I really wanted to do:
1. Hanako - she was easily the cutest of all of them.
2. Rin - I love strange girls :)
3. Emi - A loli! Yay!
4. Shizune - Meh, kind of plain.
5. Lilly - High-class type? Not my type. (Would come to regret this)

But how it ended was:
1. Emi - accidentally got ...

Finished Shizune and Hanako, and I'm in Emi's Act 3, so far I can say Emi's is quite happy from the start and until now, quite bright.

Hanako's was a slow uphill battle but ended up happy indeed, if not a bit uninformative of their future (which I found quite sad).

What made me start this topic ...

I remember the first time I loaded up KS and thought "there's something different." It had been a long while since I played Act 1, but my brain could tell something was off about the opening sequence. Wanting to get to the parts I hadn't read before so I got impatient and started skipping my way ...

For instance, Shizune's route has some stars forming a (love)-triangle

Yeah, when I rewatched the cinematics after playing the routes I was like MIND=BLOWN.

So KS Unlimited and KS Alternative in a future where Earth is invaded by Aliens and Hisao has to fight in a Giant Robot but also take care because of Arrythmia and Kenji's Feminist Conspiracy is real? And the reason of most disabilities is that the are survivors of the first alien attack or ...

~Kenji, Emi's route, Act... 2, I guess

I....forgot he mentioned that in Emi's route. So... the Deep End of Act 1 is really something Kenji planned because He thinks you are part ...

I'm actually also cosidering following an idea that I've had for months of a dungeon crawler/ VN and KS really inspired me with the impact that I see is able to do the medium. Also I'm back doing excercise motivated in part by Emi's path.

For me happiest route in order are:
Emi-Lily-Hanako-Rin-Shizune

but in healthiest route Emi is first and Lily is last.

My favorites are Hanako's and Rin's cinematics. I loved Hanako's scene when Hisao finds her and in Rin's is awesome that part when Rin sees herself as drawings or something like that and the sky in the eyes also looked great.

I gotta say though, this reminded me of Halflife a fair bit because whenever anyone talks to Hisao in Emi's arc, they always know ALL the details of his life.
I was like "...srsly, this guy is a frickin' celebrity in the school..."

"Oh hey, it's Gordon Freeman!"

"Hey Gordon, how about we get a ...

I would surely replay Emi's path. I truly loved it.
