Otaku have greeted the latest in the Atelier series of alchemy RPGs, Atelier Rorona, with disgust upon learning that the loli protagonist Rorona is in fact “second-hand” goods, apparently having something of a connection with a male character in the game.
Clear parallels seem apparent between this and the second-hand Nagi-sama fiasco…
They soon populated an entire thread with their disgust at the prospect of having to play through so soiled an RPG, the highlights of which you can see below:
A second-hand heroine? What kind of punishment is this?
This sucks, it’s finished. Change the damn name to “Bitch’s Atelier”!
Die. Who the hell would enjoy this kind of game.
Second-hand? Don’t sell this kind of trash…
The people who don’t say “Then I’ll make her mine!”, and just call her a bitch, really are life’s losers.
You’ve got to be kidding me! I bought a PS3 for this game!
I’ve been betrayed…
But isn’t this series aimed at women anyway?
People who look at one screenshot with a guy in it and then claim to have their wife stolen are really something…
What’s there to look forward to in this game now?
The guy is cute too so who’s complaining?
It could just be an arranged marriage and she’s really into yuri!!!!1
Rorona betrayed me – I won’t buy this.
The girl with the big ones on the right is real nice.
What am I to do now, I’ve already bought the PS3?
You guys are real sensitive.
Just when I thought it was worth getting a PS3…
I bet you lot would really flip out if a male character appeared in K-ON!
Looking at this I can see why K-ON! is so popular…
You can see the rest of the thread (in Japanese) preserved here.
More of the same follows, with it becoming apparent most have not bothered to check the actual site, which suggests Rorona (who is 14) is actually just being hit upon by a lady’s man in the shot in question.
This is still not good enough for the thread’s inhabitants however, who seem outraged that she would even speak to a male character…
You can see a wealth of screenshots and details, and some very appealing art, at the freshly updated official homepage. More on the lolified character designs in the previous article on the matter.
The game is due for release on June 25th, and is available for pre-order now.
With the game looking excellent, the ravings of a few virgin hunting otaku seem unlikely to dent sales unduly…

Wow... over-react much?
from the looks of it yes its over reacting i mean... by the looks on how they reacted on a single screen shot... yay 2ch?
yeah what do u expect from pathetic (hardcore)otakus anyway... they act like all characters are real and belong to them. Any sane person should know that all of that is false.
Well, i guess the mind of one of those ill-minded Otaku is:
When i buy the game, those girls belong to me, no one else.
Pretty poor human beings, i guess.
When I buy the game those girls DO belong to me, NOBODY ELSE.
"my precious"
you need help...
Duh, there has never been a moment when Anon DIDN'T need help...
was that a cry for help?
Hey can I get Lionela's phone #?...I mean she's real right?....you mean these are 'Fictional Characters'?...I wonder what Mio thinks about this?
If you ever think you're hardcore otaku, all you need is one look at Japan to remind you that you are, indeed, not. Their hardcore will run circles around your hardcore.
Are we sure these comments are not a tongue-in-cheek joke that everybody just goes along with?
This is the internet...there's really no way to tell if somebody is saying something tongue-in-cheek or not...it's even harder if you're not a native speaker, granted, I'd lean towards Artefact being a native...but w/e...entertaining nonetheless...
Their Hardcore is OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!!!
MechaTama31> Sadly, that's the reality of the cream of the crap over there...
To them, nipples and vaginas of any color other than pink or light red, does not exist.
Who has the scratch to buy a PS3 for ONE GAME? Japanese Otaku are... Impressive... In so many ways. O_O
I bought every single console for one game. Not just the PS3.
I don't usually buy stuff unless it's for the sake of the one game I want to play. And they're freaking always in different consoles. It blows. T_T
Yeah i find otaku over somewhat retarded. Hell it's just a game!!
WAT USED GOODS!?!?!?!??!? OMFG QQ INTERNET RAGE I I WANT REFUND NAO!!!!
I know you need clicks but its not nice to make up stories. I refuse to believe that something like this can possibly be true.
Don't make wretchedly baseless accusations of fabrication.
You can see the thread in the link provided (as the 2ch thread is probably expired).
> I know you need clicks but its not nice to make up stories. I refuse to believe that something like this can possibly be true.
Read: In denial.
sometimes its really hard to belive that this stuff could be true,
and its even harder to believe that you still find the time to tell us about this stuff ^^
so keep it up Artefact ;-)
And the others aswell, ofcourse ^^
It's 2ch. The fact that such a thread was created is probably true. That it's actual evidence that any otaku were truly, legitimately "enraged" by this is, at best, suspect (as it was last time). Maybe we should call this "trollcasting"? Regardless, I'm sure the headline was more attention-grabbing than "Atelier Rorona homepage updates with new images".
(Wait, what? Did I actually just defend Artefact here? LOL at "wretchedly baseless accusations of fabrication". ^^; )
I suspect a few were genuinely put out, but of course soon everyone piled in for the fun of the "matsuri"...
On 2ch, it is very tempting to join in and roleplay as a crazy person for fun.
Tsk tsk tsk, anon... Did you forget? To prove a point, you need either evidence or testimony! That's how it works here in court.
this place is practically 2ch's offshoot anyways, you mean you haven't seen similar cases of this here?
What?
Lol. JRPG's = SRSBSNS
Dont you mean...
"Second-hand loli" is SRSBSNS?
Fucking Nips overreacting again.
Three little words
GO FUCK Themselves
They buy the game just to see loli characters/?
Go play some real loli-eroge then, and stop bitchin!!!!
These type of no-life persons just deserve to roll on the fire
Figures they'd want a virgin, considering they'll be a virgin forever themselves, the fatasses.
"OH NOOO HER ANIMATED VIRGINITY HAS BEEN TAKEN AHHH"
"Fine, fine! Don't have a shitfit. I'll redraw the fucking hymen."
What type of fool wouldn't want a virgin?
^ more like what type of fool ONLY wants a virgin.
THIS fool only wants a virgin. When/If I ever lose me virginity, I would like it to be with another virgin, not someone who's had another dick in her before.
The kind of a fool who has had sex, duh?
Virgins are annoying.
Virgins are often more loose than experienced women. Muscles, baby, it's all about them.
Virgins think they have the right to use you as they wish just because you get to break a freaking hymen and hear their screams of pain.
Not quite worth it.
I can see why some like the idea of someone being as little experienced as they are, especially when it's otakus tend to have poor social skills. But usually, a virgin girlfriend is actually a pain in the ass.
The man speaks the truth.
oh ya. oh fuck yeah. virgin girls are great, but after you shagged her and poped her cherry your fucked.
Well frankly I'm pretty fucking furious that I'll probably never know what it is like to take a girl's virginity. I know that I'm missing out on something worthwhile.
Said by a true virgin.
Anyway, yeah you'd be out of your fucking mind NOT to want a virgin. That's like saying "Oh yeah this half-eaten sandwich I found is great! Sure am glad I found this perfectly good sandwich in that dumpster. In fact, I'm probably sure these bitten-off areas make it taste even better than it did originally."
Enjoy always settling and always having seconds or thirds or fourths etc.
>The kind of a fool who has had sex, duh?
Oh lawl.
What's wrong virgins too hard to get?
Having a virgin is pretty much a pipe dream, however, since ALMOST every female is pretty much a slut at her core.
We can dream ;_;
I think you might be lost; normalfag imitators usually don't come around here.
True story, man.
its not whether the girl's a virgin or not
but its the thought that she screws around or had screwed before with another guy that is what's making this people upset... although i agree its too much of a fuss for an animated character
> Anyway, yeah you’d be out of your fucking mind NOT to want a virgin. That’s like saying “Oh yeah this half-eaten sandwich I found is great! Sure am glad I found this perfectly good sandwich in that dumpster. In fact, I’m probably sure these bitten-off areas make it taste even better than it did originally.”
Might be shocking, but in fact, penises don't eat vaginas.
Moron.
>Might be shocking, but in fact, penises don’t eat vaginas.
Moron.
Nice argument.
Moron.
A nice argument is fine too.
But really. There are 2 types of men who only want virgins:
1) The extreme party boys that have shagged tens of teenwhores and want a virgin because they are jerks and think they - despite actually being pretty much whores themselves - deserve it
2) The socially restricted, uninformed virgins that are afraid of any girl who is in any way superior to him.
But my opinion is that either virginity or the lack of it shouldn't be a major factor in one's choice of partner... Who cares about a hymen if the girl is nice?
>Who cares about a hymen if the girl is nice?
This, srsly.
> Having a virgin is pretty much a pipe dream, however, since ALMOST every female is pretty much a slut at her core.
Oh, because males aren't driven by sex ...
I personally like a woman that can kind of, you know, control yer vag muscles. There’s a trick to it that all women should learn. They even have an exercise for it. Kegal. If I spelled it right. Too lazy to look it up for someone that has no idea what I’m talking about.
Sad thing is most men thinking they are gonna ‘bust that sht!!’ in general when you’re talking about a canal that was made for delivering babies. Do you know how big the average baby is? Yeah. Now compare that to your wang. Exactly.
IMHO, each man should try exactly one virgin in his lifetime. Why? Cause then you won't be freaking out about a girl's non-virginity. Hell, you're more than likely to TURN DOWN the second virgin who offers you sex, because you know better than to open THAT can of dorama...
Heh, what's the use of re-drawing the hymen... you couldn't see it b/c of the pixellation anyway lol
Is this true with most 2-D characters?...or just Loli game types? I mean it's obvious Haruhi's has atleast 1 abortion in her life. Future Mikuru'a had sex and I'm sure Nagato has 'detailed special data' symulations. Fiction characters have sex all the time 'Out of Frame'- what else are they gonna do?
Wait, how'd you get that idea? o.O I'll agree with future Mikuru having had sex (and hardcore sex at that) but why has Haruhi had an abortion? Also, considering how Nagato was programmed and basically lacks a personality and/or any social skills, I highly doubt she was given a 'detailed special data' simulation, as you put it.
But what of Sailor Moon?! She had sex before the series ended!!!!! (She was pregnant at the very end.)
