In imokano, Haruka's seiyuu is doing a great job performing the part where she starts to give up the act but catches herself before it finishes leaving her lips. I also appreciate that the text doesn't reflect this, which vindicates my stubborn insistence on listening to every voice line.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45716505
I think imokano marks the career highpoint of Mitsuki and Haruka's respective seiyuu. They really knocked their roles out of the park considering how difficult of a script imokano was to read apparently. Ever since Silverio I thought Waou Kirika would make the perfect slut and in 働くオトナ, Yahiro Mami the perfect imouto.

And that's it for episode 6 of Sharkness Life. It was meh, the disappointment continues, and in some ways the main story got even worse. Where to even begin.

I liked the way the previous routes unlocked the Onee-san route by adding an anti-choice after each route. At the start of her route I felt like a complete idiot for some of my previous complaints that were immediately touched on. I really liked where it was going with the every route happened but was undone by the takos even when they left the island. Furthermore Kyouhei joining the enemy because he realized fighting was pointless opened up the gates to so much information about the inner workings behind Onee-san's operation. That was fantastic but also where the good parts ended.

Funabori's own background tying in with the sengoku slave trade revealed in Remi's route was okay but there were 3 or 4 of these history sessions that just didn't reveal much new or interesting. I also felt nothing for Funabori as a person. Such a tragic fate and things she lived through, but it didn't grip me or shake my heart. It was bland and didn't stand out from any other dialogue. The short police book story was done better than this. Funabori should've had gotten an actual flashback episode but that would kill the budget.

The tako's ability to give admins any skill, knowledge and role was interesting and explained how Onee-san could do things. What the route never revealed was how she's able to survive with what I assume is 1 hour of sleep. She's always awake and everywhere. Kyouhei only goes to school and the konbini and it drains him. So how does Onee-san do it for thousands of loops? She said she could be cloned but it would be too risky to run into herself or cause people to get confused. They should gone with clones being real to make sense, paradoxically.

Too much of the route focused on this new everyday life with work. The BBQ happened and the writer started the grimdark part. People die and Kyouhei is involved. He even planned Amane's murder, had to watch Remi get killed (NICE) and then he broke the broken Maruri. This would've been interesting to read if not for Kyouhei. The writer, again, failed to make me feel anything for a main character. He's distraught by his actions and the hopelessness makes him even want to kill himself. He vomits here and there, apparently looks like a zombie, and cries often. But why do I not feel his despair? I thought he was annoying and made no sense. He willingly joined the enemy and accepted being a bad guy doing bad things he has no control over like fucking broken Maruri (off-screen) while Remi watches in shock and later tormenting Maruri until she gets gangraped(?) by takos again. He "plays a script he's given" but I didn't feel it. He just seemed inconsistent and shitty.

The romance was bad. What I saw wasn't love but 2 people using each other to cope with a crappy situation. The H-scenes were ok and a bit shorter, 3 being single CG. Art was a bit better but the writing was boring. Unusable for me. I reread katan's Samenana "review", he praised it a lot for being an old fashioned scenario game while warning that it's not a character game. After Onee-san's route I can only agree that it's a really bad character and romance game. None of the character's feels deep or receives much development. They aren't unlikable but they're more akin to a forgettable movie cast than a VN cast. The romances are undercooked and shallow. The plot conveniently interferes with it. There are no date events or casual scenes. Feelings just happen, they have sex and deal with the plot, time skip to happy end. Other CUBE writers did the opposite and had long common routes that fleshed out the cast and eased into a believable romance that had love. Light on story but not lacking drama they worked as character games but not scenario games. Anyway my takeaway from Samenana's writer is that he has no fucking concept of love and romance writing, less than many other writers who lack experience but make up for it with imagination and wish-fulfilment.

Back to the route's story. After all the bad things that happened yet didn't feel shocking or gripping, probably since we know it's just another loop until the timeline is reset. so nothing matters. Why care? It could make us relate to the admins but it fails., we arrive at the cliffhanger ending seguing into the far too happy and upbeat OP movie. Kyouhei announces his renewed will to save everyone and falls completely flat on his 2D nose. Seriously, tell me what this shitty route was even about. Through the choices he rejects the other girls and thus remembers everything, realizes the pointlessness of fighting, joins the enemy, learns almost everything, works as a cashier,

[Anonymous No.]

>>45717051
(cont.) works as a cashier some more, fucks Onee-san and learns her story, goes to class, plays the baddy who kills Amane and fucks over other people and lovers. Btw despite loving everyone he doesn't show it or has ANY conflicting feelings about dating Onee-san and even fucking her in front of 3 of his brainwashed exes! Then after their deaths he spends a day having fun with Funabori watching movies, fucking and then festival time again. Time rewinds and NOW suddenly out of nowhere he wants to fight again. ???? Why? How? He never once in this route which only lasted a single loop within that timelap made any plans for anything. I don't get it. It's like a filler episode before the final battle and skipping over the training arc then bullshitting the final boss with a new deus ex machina move. Why couldn't Kyouhei be shown doing literally anything in this route?

Let's get to the next issue, the plotholes. About Kuuko, we were shown that she gets mind controlled in her sleep before she turns into the shark. She never remembered her shark actions! Now she's mysteriously aware of everything, not just retained memories, and after her kills she copes undersea. Where does this come from? She's aware of her role as a shark as if she were the sister after regaining her consciousness and freed of the control device. Yet she wear it again and talks like retard Kuuko. I always forgot to mention in prev. posts that no one ever reacts to Kuuko's blue streaks tattoo on her skin. What even is that since she kept it after not being a shark anymore.

The writer still hasn't explained what happened to Amane at the end of the loops when she regrets killing the shark. Why even since she doesn't care about killing Kuuko or bystanders. So what is her regret? Or her saying it wasn't her purpose. Or Kyouhei saying he knows about Tokyo. We still don't know how they met, how the siblings became shark hunters, he can't even swim! I guess him "knowing" Tokyo is from his memories of loops escaping there? Not originally being from Tokyo like I thought in earlier routes. We also still know nothing about Kyouhei or Remi's parents. Were Touka's parents maybe killed by sharks and not illnesses? What even is Maruri's home life? Instead there are new questions. Funabori started season 1 sengoku, went into stasis until season 2 showa, then again until season 3 reiwa. Why don't the takos replace her or use other admins? Why did they even allow Kyouhei when he was their VIP actor. Mindcontrol makes no sense. They need physical tentacle rape to start it but then use psychokinesis to control? And takos are aliens using a basement server to then control tako robots as cameras and minions who look real but are robots. If they can rewind time why use manual labor to rebuild or get rid of trash? Rewinds are confusing. The dead come back but some dead are removed permanently despite being interesting to takos. The mind wipes are not perfect so errors happen. It's dumb. Also the food restocking. There are 15.000 islanders (but only 30 kids in school) on this tiny island, I don't believe it. If Funabori only admin'd that 1 district I'd believe it. She can't oversee 15k people. She can't even work 1 konbini.

I have no idea how they'll win in the finale. Honestly I don't care. I hate this VN. Every year I read 1 game like this and force myself to finish it. This time is the last. I won't read shit anymore I don't like reading. The common route started good, the first school day and the Maruri toilet event told me something was off. Then Maruri's terrible route should've been the last straw. I pushed for Touka (worth it) and Kuuko (not worth it). I got invested and with every route I didn't want to not see it through. Remi's route was the worst for pacing and "romance". Kuuko's was boring and disappointing. I fucked up wasting so many hours. Not again. Fuck kusoge.

I don't plan to make a post for the finale unless it blows me away. I expect no answers and a lot of bullshit. Sharkness Life Grand Route, fuck you already. I'll avoid anything by this writer in the future and I'll fucking stop reading time travel/loop stories since every single one sucks. FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS GAME

I'm starting to think you held ctrl, because every single one of these is addressed in the route you are complaining about.
>she regrets killing the shark. Why even since she doesn't care about killing Kuuko or bystanders. So what is her regret? Or her saying it wasn't her purpose. Or Kyouhei saying he knows about Tokyo.

Gin'haru, it's just a better version of Hoshi Ori. The only reason to prefer Hoshi Ori is because Gin'haru is unbelievably long. I'd argue that makes it better, but if you said I prefer Hoshi Ori because it's faster paced I'd respect that even if I disagree.

It's a welcome development as long as Bushiroad is willing to invest in it.
Even if they are all-ages they will introduce new people to the medium, especially with such a big and sophisticated corporation throwing its weight on advertisement. And some of those new people will inevitably take interest in proper eroge too. That will make industrial situation better.

Some might do it. But they won't have resources of a giant like Bushiroad. The best strategy for smaller companies with less resources will still be attracting by addition of adult content people who entered the market through all-ages. It's also rather good strategy to attract people who enter the market through things like let's play streams as there is no way to stream adult scenes on YT or nico.

>they're more akin to a forgettable movie cast
That's also the impression I got. It felt like some of the heroines were loosely based on slasher movie stereotypes, which I guess plays into the whole B-movie theme, so I didn't mind it that much. That's also one of the reasons Tooka's route was my favorite. She's the smart one, so when things start getting dangerous, instead of investigating a noise or separating from the group or whatever, she just gets the fuck out of there.

Visual novels and eroge are fairly progressive because it's still creative art.
Nationalists generally hate creativity because it clashes with their ideas of what is "good" and how things "should" be. Same reason they're always sperging about how degenerate modern art is and that everyone should return to some past aesthetic.

Finally got myself to do the 3rd case and it got me really pleasantly surprised
If the first 2 were completely boring, now things have finally started for real
Surely there was a lot of stupid stuff and full of ご都合主義, but it still managed to get me invested in the story really hard, i read it 6 hours in a row and didn't even notice how the time passed, and even finally managed to get the perfect score on the second half
Really looking forward to the 4 case now since all the overarching plot finally starting to come together, they really got me with that closing credits bait

Tfw i'm the one who brought this game up but couldn't get over 2nd chapter myself... idk why but that kind of atmosphere is really not for me, the djges that overuse real photos too much give me some very uncomfortable vibes that i can't deal with
Even if it gets kami later i still don't think it is worth it putting myself through that feeling

[Anonymous No.]

It uses real photos a lot less once it gets going, its mostly just the early chapters for whatever reason. It is an odd feeling though for sure but I didn't mind it too much

You'd be surprised how much original CGs this game has on the latter parts. The fight scene on chapter 6 or 7 has about a dozen different CGs just for that scene alone. The one I posted earlier is from that chapter.

It's definitelly inspired by Gyakusai but it's not even close in terms of depth, more like a far doujin cousin
It's way more simplistic since it is お白洲 so you play both judge, prosecutor, and attorney simultaneously and mostly it is just you solo vs all the culprits
But it still tries to make the best of what it is through all the cool animations and stuff and does a good job of keeping you entertained if you get into the story (sadly the first 2 cases were too boring so it took me a while)

do you feel like Mitsuki's routeoverstayed its welcome? they took all the h-scenes that were supposed to be spread amongst 3 routes and crammed it all into 1. there's like 50 lines of text between some of the scenes and most of them aren't even that good. i guess it's important to drive home the cohabitation theme. but holy shit. we get it. you guys fuck a lot.

[Anonymous No.]

>>45727181
I agree. I think this is the game's only flaw. On the other hand, Mitsuki and Kei are both maniacs so it never really felt out of character. After finishing it, I feel like I completely understood what the writer was trying to do in the last route but it needed a bit better execution. But the last route also has a lot of the best scenes in the game, and it made me cry a lot, so I am conflicted on it.

Agreed, there are so many scenes and they're pretty long so the pacing isn't great. But yeah, thematically there's a reason for it, but we didn't really need 12 nuts per scene to show how they're using sex as an escape or how their relationship develops and changes over time. It makes the actual ending feel kind of sudden because it isn't as long as all those scenes. The non-H parts of that route have a lot of great scenes though and I like how all the themes and motifs from the beginning come together as we learn more about Mitsuki and her life and struggles and how she parallels Kei in that regard. On another note, feels a bit weird that a long game like this doesn't have any vocal songs. I've played even low-budget nukige that have OPs/EDs, even if they use some royalty-free song they found. There's no reason that they have to follow the convention of having an OP/ED but I find that having a fitting song can really add to the mood and aftertaste of a game.

I have a feeling Waffle tried to make a compromise, Imouto to Kanojo is much longer than Hajimete no Kanojo but it has far less h-scenes, so they tried to compensate by making each individual scene longer. It really sucks that it ruins the pacing in the third route since I feel like up to that point the game was great at making the ero feel purposeful and story related.

But the scene where Mitsuki finally is able to see Haruka's mother for the first time in the eyes without the face-blind vision she usually has and just immediately starts crying felt like it made the entire route worth it...really this route is such a weird feeling for me because it simultaneously has some of the best scenes I've read in an eroge while also feeling like a slog to read at times. But even if I think Waffle should cool it with the ero spam I'm willing to give credit where credit's due, it's still kamige in my eyes.

the ending absolutely broke me. i finished it at 3 AM in the morning and couldn't sleep all night, i just lied in bed and stared at the ceiling and tried not to cry whenever i thought about it. i think it's the most depressing conclusion i've seen in an eroge. what fucks me up the most about it is that it doesn't give you any satisfying conclusion at all, i could handle it better if it showed more of what happened to mitsuki, but it fucks me up that the moment she learns about love and the first time in her life she's actually happy she leaves them

Hajimekano fucked me up for an entire month when I read it years ago. I was living life as a zombie and couldn't stop dreaming of Akino. It also completely vaporized my libido and gave me a savior complex. Going into imokano, I more or less knew what to expect from 間崎俊介 so my reaction to the 悩み isn't as visceral this time. Imokano's ending also isn’t as soul crushing as hajimekano's where everyone's life is ruined. Imokano’s journey is finding the least bad solution to an impossible problem where hajimekano's was just an everfall into the abyss.

I don't think I'm going to lose sleep over Imokano's ending but I'm looking forward to having Mitsuki join Akino in living rent free in my head.

It's decent but quite long. There are things you don't see often like they dedicate a long part of the game to a side character that lived in East Germany before they broke down the wall while raising the daughter of his dead crush to become his future wife. And they manage to make it quite emotional as well.

And that's 4 case done, that was a whole damn lot of plot twists, maybe even way too many for its own good but it still somehow managed to make sense at the end so i don't mind it
If you close your eyes on some very stupid and forced stuff and just take it for what it is, it was a really interesting and entertaining game with some meaningful message behind it
All the characters are even though very flat, they all were very likable and all the seiyus were playing their roles excellently
I don't expect much from the routes now outside of just being omake h scenes, but they gave you a surprise br incest as a reward so i will gladly take what i get
Overall i'm glad that i went to play this game in the end, makes me even more excited for Hakkenden now to see how much progress they made in all those years

You've got to be trolling me. I can differentiate fiction from reality of course, so I don't condemn mindless entertainment, but when a story has the message that a 30 year old man can fuck an elementary school girl and it isn't rape because the dumb kid smiles and thinks it's all right because she trusts her stepdad, then I can criticize the message. And no, a prepubescent kid cannot consent. It's fucking rape.

I have no issue with stuff like Shoujo Ramune because it doesn't try to preach. We know it's bad in real life but it's fiction.

But having a story belittle child abuse and preach a message like this is pretty fucked up.

It's really nice to have an MC who's not a wimpy loser. Here he casually grabbed a girl on their first encounter and she blushed and smiled softly. It seems insignificant at a glance but it really adds a bit of spice and manliness that feels lacking in current eroge. In a scene a few minutes ago Agnes asked MC about what bikinis he likes and he answered honestly that more revealing bikinis are too distracting. He casually complimented that Carina's bikinis get more beautiful every year but also that the amount of fabric becomes less (since she's "growing"). It's manly and flirtatious without being thirsty. In another scene Carina rushed to wake up Leicester but found him awake and waiting. That made her sad and he proposed they could go back to bed so he could pretend to sleep and she can wake him up. That double entendre was funny and suggestive but quickly resolved by him without making a fuss or stuttering like a loser. This guy knows what he's doing.

In another older VN I read the MC is an orphan and works part time. He met his coworker in the street and she followed him home not knowing his situation. He then cooked lunch with her watching and complimenting his skill. She also has a habbit of holding his hand because of the cold and him being warm. The first time he was awkward and confused, but then later he asked to walk her home and held out his hand.

I really like the confidence and competence of MCs like these. Also not being horndogs, losers or bland faggots. Have eroge protagonists moved away from that or am I reading all the wrong ones? I want more manly gentleman MCs not weak herbivores.

[Anonymous No.]

The Tortilla sisters and Salsa's delicious ARMPITS finally showed up and are funny as ever. Poor Salsa can't catch a break. Ever since I watched the anime 13 years ago and fapped to Salsa's CGs I've wanted to read this properly. I should've read this sooner, it's nice so far. Very interesting sprite usage. The only thing that's on the weaker side so far is the soundtrack but I've only heard 10/46 tracks.

When the twins spoke I realized that Campanella reunited some of the cast from Yoakena.
>Shelley = Midori, Nina = Estel, Salsa = Mia, Ritos = Mai
Maybe there are more. The role distribution is funny. Shelley and Nina seem a bit closer, Midori and Estel were PS2 route additions. Ritos and Salsa are twins, Mai and Mia share the same letters and both girls were often as close as sisters. Salsa and Mia are joke characters of sorts making weird faces or in Mia's case shrinking, and voiced by Naruse Mia, who incidentally drew the SD art for Campanella, although not the sequel. It's really innovative that the SD characters are used as sprites together with the normal ones.

>>45749920
>the behavior in your screenshot is not especially bold by the standards of VN and LN protagonists in my experience at all, it's actually really unremarkable.
The screenshot didn't do it justice. There's something about the writing, the use of the sprites and the voice acting that you have to see to know what I meant. The characters act very naturally around each other and MC doesn't take a backseat nor dominates. There's also his mother Shelley who looks as young as the heroines. She's very sexy and often hugs MC to press her boobs against him. His reaction is nice. He shows some embarrassment but he's so used to it that he doesn't blush and run away stuttering like many modern MCs would. She even did it in public and onlookers called them a lovey dovey couple whose looks good well together (since they're mother and son). He didn't panic or anything. Even the heroines were cool about the incest joke.

Can you? Because you just did read the pedophiles' PoV in a fictional work.
As is the case with people with low intelligence, reading an explanation gets confused with it being a moral justification. No wonder some people get confused, since the pedophile justifies his own acts. But is that a moral (social) justification that the author is trying to push on the viewers, or just the exposition of the character's corrupted reasoning? Even in real life, you need to put advisory after advisory ('we do not subscribe these morally reprobable acts' is a common phrase) when writing about taboo topics because of stupids like you. I hope at least you could take this lesson out of this work.
