Higurashi Console Arcs Part 1

Over a year has passed it's about time I get into console arcs, I really dislike the ending how are answers rated higher than questions, spoilers it feels so out of place that in Matsuribayashi they're all suddenly like power of friendship wins and they do all sort of mental gymnastics and come up with insane shit just so it makes sense together somehow and makes them win, it's unrealistic, unsatisfactory and really boring.

I pray to god it won't be as bad as whatever the fuck hou+ was, answer arc isn't that bad as a whole but everything that comes after it is even worse, hou+ was genuienly horrible half the time the other half was just meh

Finished Taraimawashi, took me a bit longer than I expected (2 hours) and what even was the point of that, out of context, just two sub chapters of one chapter mashed together without making any sense just to do an alternate ending, who is it for, I think I remember hearing someone say console arcs are just as good as the original 8 whoever said that needs their head checked. I just hope the longer chapters are going to do something interesting and by itneresting I don't mean shit that doesn't make any sense. 

I always thought if something has this high of a rating it must be that good and was worried my rankings are going to be full of those critically aclaimed only widely liked stuff, wrong. 

On a positive note I've recently aquired a very cool Rena figure (not my picture, might take some later I don't feel like moving it and taking pictures). I really shouldn't have read anything past chapter 7. I feel like Rei and Hou especially have messed with my perception of the series and I can't think of it as highly as I wish I could. someone needs to kill higurashi before it gets even worse and becomes unreadable (too late)

Tsukiotoshi 

I feel like I'm physically unable to have fun with higurashi after Matsuribayashi, how can I be interested in mysteries that I already have a shit answer to, better to read these before ch 8 R07 broke me (not in the cool utsuge way) 

Change of plans I had to break myself the cool utsuge way 

Expected to be disappointed because it's short and old and probably doesn't hold up as good as people remember but was great, need more utsuge in my life, now I feel like reading something like this even more, kinomasa sometime sooner than later, I am going to continue higuslop now, I want to finish at least 2 more arcs before I get into anything else 

Homoge hour

 It's been a few years and I'm the exact same person, still fixated on N+C and still the biggest Kanako Itou fan, not sure how this is going to work out but I'd like to post more about media I consume, mainly probably VNs but we'll see (this is probably the only post and I'll come back in another two years or later). I don't expect anyone to find this blog so it's more for me to document my thoughts on things.

Today Yesterday (just noticed it's past midnight) I finished lamento, finally, after months and months of putting it off, I'm also over the treasure disc and am currently struggling throught chiralmori

(this is how I look like playing lamento)

Togainu Poker was such a fucking chore, I hate poker, don't ever make me play it again, the amount of times you have to beat someone is insane and after you finally manage to beat their ass after the 5th try you get to enjoy 2 entire lines of dialogue, thanks character interaction was fun but never again
I have yet to play kuim, idk how this blogpost is going to look like I'm probably going to write about it in a few hours below because why shouldn't this be incomprehensible. 

Lamento typing  Nyanda is way more fun, for one typing is cooler than poker and they at least attempt to come up with a plot for it. The gameplay is still a bitch who in their right mind made it so you have to type x in front of ゃょゅぁ（all small) an so on instead of how you'd type the entire word like a normal human being but I can forgive them because those idiot cats are funny.

I'm going to try to finish it now and pray kuims isn't shit and has substance to it.

fuck that shit, poker was better I could at least try over and over again and wish for luck, this is so fucked I hope they fired anyone who pitched this idea of lamento tetris I hope they're dead and the story's not that interesting dissappointed still a cool addition I guess, would've been better if tetris didn't stress me out honestly I think I would've appreciated it more if I played it much after finishing the original game 

More thoughts about the original game I'm a bit dissappointed at the ending because I was certain that Leaks' ending is going to expand his backstory and I'd like to see more of Firi because why was he folling Leaks, how did they get aquianted maybe I would've cared as much if not for the fact in every route Firi follows him blindly and complies only to at the end show how he's suffering and like idk felt like they should've expanded on it at least somewhat.

I'm surprised at the quality of each route, in TnC most two locked routes are so boring and did not make me care at all for nano and shiki even made me dislike them more like I feel like every person who adores shiki either never read the vn or is just really horny either way I actually enjoyed every route in Lamento and as much as I think Asato has the best chemistry with Konoe and they're honestly soulmates (HE CARES ABOUT HIM IN EVERY ROUTE AND ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT HE FEELS SOMETHING FOR HIM NOT ONLY IF WE PURSUE HIM FOR GODS SAKE) every ll grew on me, I thought I'd hate Rai and he's just lamento's version of Shiki but he's alright, I like his interactions with Konoe towards the end of his route and I don't think they're a particularly bad pairing, the same can be said about Bardo, I do think his route was the weakest and I don't think they explained his motivation enough because why do you want to have power just for the sake of it, stupid. Overall second best N+C VN only behind sweet pool so far, I only haven't read slow damage but I highly doubt I'll like it more despite the high rating. In my ranking TnC is still second because I'm nostalgic and I like my toxic yaoi, after playing TnC for the second time I lowkey think it's pretty mediocare but it's a 9/10 in my heart and I refuse to acknowlage I'm blinded and give stupid ratings.

Deep diving obscure shit

GOD I LOVE BROWSING THROUGHT OLD FORUMS AND WEBSITES BUT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE TO TALK ABOUT IT  T_T

Today I finally got to installing that yaoi game (angel's feather) so I'll probably play it after I'm done with shin megami tensei 1. I started it like two days ago despite promising myself not to start any new games before I finish the ones that Im currently playing and I have like 4 games that I'm actively playing now lol And I'll have to also start Silent Hill play novel soon because I wanted to make a youtube video of my playthrought I even made a thumbnail for it !!

Can't wait to start this game. I bet Im going to enjoy it way more than the first Silent Hill game tbh it was very meh. Definitely not what I expected after seeing so many people call it the greatest horror game etc. The story was alright ig but there wasn't much of it and the gameplay was worse than okay to say the least. I have high hopes for the play novel since it's just story and it even has Cybil's pov?? 

Back on the topic. I watched hazel's video about Arisa good luck for like 3rd time (and it's still so fun) and I decided to browse throught the Comiket 57 cdrom she uploaded and IT HAD SO MUCH MEGATEN (MAINLY PERSONA 1 AND 2 !!) STUFF AT FIRST I DIDN'T NOTICE AND I WAS LIKE "HEY THIS DUDE KINDA LOOKS LIKE TATSUYA" AND THEN I NOTICED THERE WAS EIKICHI NEXT  TO IT AND BUNCH OF MORE PERSONA CHARCTERS TRULY A MIRACULOUS PLACE.

    Unfortunetly most of the circles listed don't have websites linked and if they do they're long gone but I managed to find one working url and it had a bunch of cool illustrations that I've never seen and they even published doujins that are not so hard to find online. I'll definitely try buying them later.

Here's a few of the pictures that I found there:

I pretty much only cared about their megaten art but they also had this super cute Battle Royale (literally the best book ever) fanart. 

ANYWAY recently I felt like drawing so I made a bunch of drafts. I'm loosely coming up with my own artstyle. It's literally just generic 2000s bishoujo shit but at least I'm not copying from a specifiic person lmao.I wanted to finish those but for some reason krita won't let me save files as .kra and I lost all my layers so I'd have to start over (I might do it with my personasona but that's for when I'm back home unless I REALLLLY feel like drawing it at night lol)

(I was debating where in the timeline to put this persona, I didn't want to make a persona for every persona game lol and of course I ended up putting him in seven sisters high)

I really like how it looks on the gray bg I might start doing this with every piece. I also drew Lainbut I have this saved somewhere else.

Code gayass

Yesterday I finally started watching code geass. Because of everything that I heard about the series I was expecting this to absolutely blow me away and be at least in my top 5 anime. And oh boy was I right. I started watching it at my father's at like 2am and I stayed up all night watching it. Every single episode so far was amazing. I don't remember the last time when I was watching something this good. 

I cannot explain that I feel watching it it's this weird combination of nostalgia or smth and I feel very connected to the story on a personal level??? Can we talk about how everything is great. The story, every episodes is as good as the previous one or even better. The music god I love the first ending. The art. What much can I say about art. Character designs were made by clamp and I fucking love clamp. The characters too, I like most of them like shirley and kallen, they're so real I already sobbed durinf the one episode regarding shirley help. 

I am so upset at the fact I forgot my headphones, I wanted to watch code geass at school ;///

eww cringe

 The exact reason why I made this blog

Idek why but I get very embarrassed talking about kpop probably because it feels like an interest a lot of people would be made fun of?? (I mean they do.) And I haven't listen to kpop in years but recently I got back to it and omf 

Some of the songs seriously make me go (*>∇<)ﾉ 

 

Those songs also make me even more nostalgic for 2000s/2010s than I already was, everyone was so much hotter with those side bangs and straightened hair what happend, society really said "were going to go down hill untill we hit the bottom" 

I love gen 2 kpop its so good frrrr, I really don't know what happened because I listened to some compilations of newer stuff and nothing gets me, most of the songs are so crap literally doesnt make me think anythinf and it's kind of upseting knowinf that I once I discover every cool song theyll be norhinf more like this. It's the worst when it's a band I really liked and they're still active but their songs just arent it

Get to know me part 1?

Im almost done with the essay! 

I love making lists and writing down everything so I wanted to write here all things I feel very strongly about [positively] with explanations and pictures!

First and foremost: Megami Tensei

Franchise that has absorbed a massive part of me and has pretty much become my identity tbh. It is definitely my biggest fixation, you wont find anyone who is more into megaten than me. My favorite game has to be persona 2 innocent sin [I kin Jun kurosu hes so me]

I do genuinely feel better than all those persona 5, like if it isnt the worst installment in the series [persona, not whole megaten] fr i cannot comprehend how someone who played p2 or p3 could think that p5 is better because they have so much more depth hlp. Ill be for sure making posts about megaten itself since it has been my special interest for years and it doesnt seem to be going away.

Next we have Steins gate omg how fucking much i love steins gate, its my third favorite anime of all time [wish i could play the game, im kind of broke and my backlog is massive, the game must be a masterpiece if the anime was so good]. I want to rewatch so bad, seriously that show was so good i dont remember when was the last time i watched anything as good. Not to mention Kanako Itou who sings a few songs in it which makes it 1000 times better

An honorable mention to all the other scifi series with ";" in the name like chaos;head, occultic;nine etc. gotta be one of my favorite genres.

Now onto the thing I already made a post about: togainu no chi

It absorbs me whole, I love the climat, world building, characters, art style, music [a lot of Kanako Itou again]

This game makes me feel things I cant explain but in all of it fucked upness it feels special and comforting in a way {especially Rin)

Now onto something that isnt a game [there is technically one but Its its own thing], the Durarara Light novel, the light novel specifically because I havent watched the anime nor read the manga and the reason I love it sm is the fact that its a book, the writing is so light and you're absorbed in its world in an instant, I fell in love with it after just starting the first book and it only got better. I'm so glad one of my past friends told me not to watch the anime and just read the LN [It was my first ln and it got me into them hard, I wish they made light novels for every series, they include so much more detail than animations]

Also I LOVE THE ARTSTYLE, ITS SO COOL 

The last thing Im going to talk about in this post is going to be already mentioned singer Kanako Itou, not only her songs are featured in media im absolutely obssessed with, theyre god tier. Shes my favorite singer of all time and her voice really makes me lose my mind, I could talk about her and her songs for hours but words cannot describe how talented she is, if angels are real shes one of them. Because words would be not enough to describe her work Im going to link here a few of my favorites of hers [fun fact im actually listening to one as im writing this]

"https://youtu.be/4zwCoJLsEFg

https://youtu.be/S61NfSNPLn8 THIS ONE IS MY ABSOLUTE FAV, THIS SONG IS THE DEFINITION OF HOW I FEEL ABOUT TOGAINU NO CHI

https://youtu.be/aQ3Xs86Io00 its the first song by her ive ever heard and honestly im not even mad

https://youtu.be/N-mUKvXcSU0 literally so underrated idk whats wrong with people

https://youtu.be/pe1geML6lNY

https://youtu.be/ZTp9sX6AwwA

https://youtu.be/38c4gNeK7Tk 

https://youtu.be/7KH3QuSzXLg 

those songs make me feel emotions its surreal

Not sure when ill do a part two, theres at least one more thing i would like to mention that i can think of on top of my head

man I hate nitro+chiral

The sole reason I made this blog for. this game.

this game makes me go insane fr. I installed it on my psp emulator a long time ago without really knowing what its about and just because i thought it looked cool lol And i havent played it for a while but omfg when i started. LIKE THE ATMOSPHERE AND EVERYTHINS IS JUST SOO GOOD, a lot of people might not like the artstyle but im a sucker for this early 2000s anime artstyle 

I could about this game all the time, I cant forget about it even tho it has been quite some time since i played it. Now i need to mention why this game is the excact reason i made this blog for, and its because it has some rather problematic topics ;/// Tho i dont know exactly what it is because i only finished one route [which did have a rather uhh questionable scene] but i heard some things and honestly im kinda worried that it will break my experience with this game and make me think differently about Rin which id consider a huge comfort rn. 

I really hope that despite all the quote on quote bad things that this ggame has wont affect the overall story that much because oh god the plot is so goddamn good and captivating i dont want it ruined.

Im probably going to play it again this week, at first I wanted to finish everything else ive been playin before i get to the others route but i dont think i can hold it anymore, frrrr all i can think of is this game, which i probably shouldnt since im failing like 3 subjects as of now 〆(・∀・＠)

This def isnt the last post about this game [might even make another one today] but thats all I needed to share rn, now im going to have some dinner and maybe attempt writing an essay for school
