Jigoro says more or less that he never bothers sending or answering to e-mails. However I noticed that on his card the address jigoro@hakamichi.co.jp is very prominent.
Is this another subtle signal that he's very self-important and being a huge douchebag not only towards his family, but pretty much everyone?
Katawa Shoujo is a game that, by all accounts, shouldn't exist, but it does and we're happier because of it!

When you ask Rin about Hanako in ACT 1, She reveals that she goes to the washroom quite often... so why does Hanako go to the washroom that often?
Sorry if this was asked before... in some other thread. Just out of curiosity (And if I was a cat, I'd be dead already.).

1. In most routes, Iwanako's letter seems to come (relatively) soon after the festival; however, in Shizune's, Hisao doesn't get it until after the summer vacation. Is there any particular reason for this?

2. On that note, other than Shizune's, most of the routes seem to be very short time-wise. Was the timeframe part of the scope of what was thought out or is it all just supposed to be sort of ad-hoc and stretchy?

You sure you want to know? Okay.

Do not click this one unless you never want to look at Hanako the same again.

I still don't quite get it. Is it cause it's relaxing, lazy music or something like that?

Also, I just remembered. In Rin's route she says something along the lines of "I can't think about more then 3 or 4 things anymore".
What exactly did she mean by this? That if she thinks of too many things at once her thoughts become too cluttered? I think that is pretty normal isn't it? Is she implying that at one point she was capable of multi-level thinking or something?

2 stupid questions for devs :lol:

1- What was the most weird/interesting question that someone asked you in this topic?

2- Are you tired of answering all of the question that come out?

:lol: just for fun :lol: :P

A lot of the interactions with Lilly feature stumbling around simple phrases like "I see", half of which wouldn't actually work in Japanese. Was this a point of some controversy with the editors?

What spurred Miki's use as Hisao's sounding board in the Hanako route over other characters?

Why was poor Lelouch removed from the classroom CG?

This is a really trivial question... but how exactly does Shizune get the full benefit of lessons in a normal class? Mutou doesn't use sign language and writing everything on the board will just slow down the class, and Misha can't possibly be signing everything to Shizune since she needs to pay attention in class too.

Still a bit confused on how Emi lost her legs in that accident... like how exactly did she get cut in the car so badly that it was a severe infection? (Quite the freak accident to me and sorry if this offends)

OK, let me rephrase the question: What actually made in past the concept phase? What made it into the paths what didn't?

So Rin and Miki wear boy's uniforms, Akira wears a men's business suit, and Hideaki is an oblivious trap. Was anyone in particular really influential regarding some of the more unusual fashion choices?

Also, does Miki tie her own tie?

Rin's clothing was a decision by Aura (I think? It was a decision made long ago), Miki wearing a male shirt+female skirt was Moekki's, Akira was mine (I have a thing for women in suits+slacks...), Hideaki was Moekki's.

Miki ties her own tie.

For the panel/pic that says "Enjoy playing Katawa Shoujo", The outfit Rin is wearing doesn't actually appear in the game right?
