If I’m not mistaken, the fan TL and downloading the game illegally is not mutually exclusive. You can support the industry by buying the Japanese version, then apply the fan patch.

Yes, this was a really fun game. An anime adaptation would be welcome, though I wonder which ending would be the best for it?

Because Saya herself and all the Higurashi girls aren’t moe in the slightest~ (^.^;)

The issue you have isn’t against moe, it’s the slice-of-life/love comedy genres.

Why have a child when you can’t take responsibility for him/her? It’s a crap comparison, but even from an early age, our parents refused to let us have a pet if we ourselves can’t take care of it. So why is it a-ok for parents to chuck their kids at childcare centers or leave them [...]

In my opinion? Screw all this gender crap. It’s all up to the individual.

If a female wants to work, so be it. If a male wants to be a house-husband, whatever. (ala Madoka’s family)

The thing that truly counts is the individual’s happiness and if the relationship is stable or not.

I don’t understand why so many people find this bizarre. As a degree is necessary for most jobs, many of us get a degree just as a fall-back, in case the things that we truly want to do fail. If a girl can’t find a husband or start a family, she still has her education [...]

Nice to see Ichigo Mashimaro on that. I’ve recommended that series to my University mates and cousins and I haven’t heard a negative reaction to it yet.

Man, there are so many shows that I need to catch up on, but I just can’t find the time!

Have you ever heard of Rule 34? By your logic everything will be creepy. You will never look at your toothbrush or a cucumber the same way again.

You do know that K-On! is horrendously popular with girls as well, right? Heck, it’s so family friendly, it’s airing on the Disney Channel. Just because a show is “moe” (obviously the wrong definition is used here) doesn’t mean that it’s filthy, exploitative or cheap. Nor does it mean that girls can’t like it as [...]

Yes, because obviously, boys can’t be moe.

Loyalty to a studio can change if it starts producing stuff that the fans don’t like/won’t accept. Fans aren’t stupid, nor are they blind.

Man, as you get older, time sure seems to fly by a lot quicker… I haven’t even gotten into the Winter Season proper and already the Spring Season will soon be upon us.

You see, that’s why I never saw any sense into putting real world money into online collectables/items. The item that you ‘bought’ is stored somewhere on someone else’s server and once the game is shut down, there goes your items as well.

You know you’ve been on the internet for too long when nothing fazes you anymore.

Yay, Azuma Hiroki! His writings are actually really fascinating to read.

Yeah… that’s the only thing keeping me from pre-ordering her on the spot. Cash is tight… Not to mention, I have that 40+cm cardboard standee of this very illustration already…

While I and commonsense would agree with you, the Japanese law is pretty clear on this: 1) Any pose of a child engaged in sexual intercourse or any conduct similar to sexual intercourse; 2) Any pose of a child having his or her sex organs, etc. touched by another person or of a child touching [...]

I see what you did there.

Happy Birthday Yui!　It is unfortunate that I cannot celebrate this happy occasion as my finals start today. These words are all that I can offer you.

May you continue to be the light that brightens up our dull and dreary everyday lives.

Homura is great, but I don’t get the rainbow…
