Wow, hard to believe it's already been a year. Across the entirety of 2015 I've made 90 whole blog posts. That's a post every four days! Let me take a look at how far I've come since starting this thing... I've read 23 new visual novels, 18 of which I've reviewed. Adding up all the approximate lengths I'm left presuming I spent about 650 hours on it. Not counting rereads of visual novels I had already read prior to this year. By far my most active reading ...
Seems like censoring in games has become quite a controversial issue recently. I mostly see people vehemently claiming that censoring is bad practice and should not be a thing. And I gotta be honest, I feel it's not quite that simple. https://kakeracomplex.wordpress.com/...-novel-reader/ This article is a bit old, being from mid-2013, but this has been an issue in the visual novel localizing scene for years now and it STILL ...
What happens when Hatoful Boyfriend meets Phoenix Wright in 19th century Paris? I guess this: http://www.siliconera.com/2015/12/09...december-18th/ ...let's see how this turns out.

Rose Guns Days is a visual novel developed by 07th Expansion, written by Ryukishi07. Overview Rose Guns Days takes place in post-WWII Japan where, in an alternate history, Japan's culture is slowly being eradicated by the overwhelming influx of American and Chinese residents and poor treatment and ensuing poverty the native Japanese have to endure. Solidarity among fellow Japanese countrymen is at an all-time ...
The CLANNAD Steam page has gone online and the release date has been revealed to be November 23rd! This also means that the Kazamatsuri Bookclub will be starting on that very day. If you're interested in participating - which I wholeheartedly recommend doing - mark your calendars. The bookclub does encourage reading at your own pace, but it'd be nice if you could at least find the few hours a week to read the route we're currently focusing on. It'd ...
http://store.steampowered.com/app/377670/ What the hell are you still reading this for!? Go buy it already! Still unconvinced?

So VisualArtsUSA just announced a thing. ... ...... *exhales* *exhales some more* *recalls that this was seriously just a casual announcment for the localization of smurfing Little Busters! and Tomoyo After* ... SO YEAH, THIS HAPPENED. I cannot put in words how ecstatic I am about this, ...
