I've been considering the same problem.
Would it be worth it? I vaguely remember someone praising this game here, but I'm not sure if it's actually worth buying.

If there's someone who has played it, what do you think?

>>16968188
Just make some space.

It's hard to put into words, but I thought it was a great VN, but a bad otome game. The story and charas were great, but the romance was a let down. The friendship routes felt a lot more satisfying.
>>
>>16971273
Did it feel shoehorned in for the romantic routes? I can only imagine something with the name Kenka Banchou not having good romance but amazing action.

And more importantly do they actually act like delinquents
>>
>>16971300
There's not that much action, and the fighting mini game gets really annoying after the first route. It's mostly a comedy game.
>>
>>16968027
It's from the character drama stories right? Which card?

I can't remember if there was an itime where the heroine's girl friends were actually viable instead of off to the wayside. I feel like there are games like that, but I just wish there were more.

Thanks for the feedback, anons. I felt I would have regretted it if I hadn't bought it, so I did. It will probably take me ages before I get to play it though. Still need the new memory card.

If you want lots of plot and world-building like that anon I recall then no. If you want nice art+music, good boys+romance and a great mc then yes.

A long shot but, does anybody have vol. 11 and 12 of Ojisama Senka and the rest of the character songs besides the first 3 volumes?

I just finished Astrum's route in Period Cube. Astrum himself is pretty cute and I want to bully him more over his role playing.

I really wish I could go after Sirent. Demento is next on my list, then the trap.

Are you sure? I read the summary, and it looks like they do nothing of note.

Don't get me wrong they seem interesting, but they feel... there, I guess.
>>
>>16983877
In the "main" route, the two girl friends are the 3rd and 4th most important characters respectively. The two of them are a very significant motivating factor for the MC and despite some conflict, they end up providing her a lot of support.

>>16984691
I can think of several otome games that are plotge, and most BL games are plotge.

Shinigami to Shoujo and Hanayaka Nari, Waga Ichizoku have interesting female friendships.

>By the way, how is the anime?

It's okay. For better or worse, it's only 10 minutes an episode.
>>
I've been out of "the scene" for like 4-5 years and I've been seeing mobage everywhere. (not that they never existed but they're at least a hell of a lot more popular) Do any of these have actual romance or is it all just "cute boys doing cute things" since there's often tons of characters plus you can't exactly have the protag commit to someone?

There's a few exceptions, but "long" is generally a good indication that something is plot heavy.

Trap is cute, not even nearly as bratty as he seems.
Though yeah, Ira is also really cute.
>>
Finished PK and Traps route. Demento's route was short and poorly handled. If only they tried to be less edgy with him I would have actually enjoyed him. As for the trap, I'm glad Astrum bullying was still happening, and all the side characters are great. I like them more than Libera himself. So far the game is good, but calling it great would be a stretch. The battle music is 10/10 though.

I want to start Radius next, but I'm going to go with NPC first.

>>16986920
You're right on the bratty part, but I didn't really find him cute. I don't like shotas, so his ending where he grew up a lot was a highlight for me.

>>16990472
If you know how to write Japanese it is pretty easy to get points and currency by just good old-fashioned posting. There's a guide written in Japanese on how to do it with an explanation of what each subforum is about, what kind of things to write, etc. posted there somewhere. Apparently you still get points and stuff for posting in Japanese, it doesn't have to be in Chinese (can't confirm though). Of course, if you're either a non-Chinese/Japanese speaking EOP or grinding posts is too tedious, there's always donating
But yeah, I didn't realize how bad it was until recently I tried to get a new drama CD and realized that on top of the currency there's also some "viewing rank" bullshit. Lord almighty it's already sekrit club enough.

I only have a lot of old shit that is probably still up on anime-sharing or valky.

I do have a few HVDB invites if anybody has doujin voice stuff to upload.

It's on the actual forum. thread 642840
I've considered typing up a little OD guide before considering there's not very much information about it in English (at least the last time I checked, which was like... 4 years ago). Just like how to join, navigate the forum, how all the various points work, etc., nothing against their rules or mind-blowing. But I'm not sure if people would then try to be ~heroes~ and grab everything and reupload them. These people are damn serious with all their "NO REUPLOAD" stuff (the otome community in general from what I've seen, not just OD. Don't know if anyone else remembers the anime-sharing uploader drama a few years back). I don't know if they have people 24/7 searching into Google anything related to OD/otome uploads but stuff spreads fucking fast. I can't speak for this thread, but at least for the otome threads that were on /vg/, random japs in a 2ch thread were watching it, so it's not like we're some isolated club (again this was several years ago).
I mean honestly though, the only "hard" part is becoming a member. Yeah some stuff needs a higher rank to view or maybe you run out of currency, but those can both be got by just posting. Obviously I wish otome stuff were like normal games, movies, eroge, etc. and didn't have to be all weird exclusive club stuff, but unfortunately that's the way it is. We don't have multiple sources/uploaders like those do. Well, if you're a more casual fan that's just interested in the big game releases anime-sharing seems to be doing a pretty good job and you could give no fuck about OD, but if you want non-game stuff like magazine scans, radio, or more obscure stuff in general, you have to deal with them. Not even things like Share/Clubbox/50th page of Google is going to help you.
All that said, there's always the horrifying last resort method of not being a stinking pirate and just buying stuff

It's not important. That last part of the line is complete nonsense. He just suggests a third alternate of adding (仮) to the end of アリス to differentiate the two instead of hiragana/katakana.

Yeah, I'm not as extreme as some of the "fuck EOPs/translations" people here on /jp/, but this is exactly why I always have mixed feelings.

(Even worse if people then judge the actual work by the quality of the translation, but I feel like most people are able to distinguish between the two. I think.)

I didn't know what to expect first going into the series but it's turning out to be deserving of the praise it gets. I started Epilogue recently so I should finish in the near future.

>>16997615
Did you see the episode 3 reveals coming? Shirayuki's route made me guess it but seeing it unravel was still great.
Epilogue is short and mostly a(rather unnecessary)summary so you're pretty much done already. I wish it had either been bundled into episode 3 or tried to do a bit more.
>>
>>16997675
Only shortly beforehand. Shirayuki route may have given me some inkling, but it wasn't until after I started Mahoutsukai that I got a clearer idea.

Onee-chan.

Wow. E2's founder saved money by doing the translation himself and voiced Red Riding Hood himself too. Also, he had other E2 staff, not voice actors, voice the other characters. No wonder the dub sucked. They spared every expense.

So a trap? Which Onee-chan isn't by the way.
>>
>>16985049
For which type of mobage?

I'm most familiar with Yumecast and I do believe that they make the best out of the individual love stories and other cards to advance a sense of development and closeness with the guys. The dates and sweet stuff serve to play up the one on one romance.

No, a guy who gets confused for a reverse trap. I don't understand why this is so hard to get, are you unaware of the confusion over his gender or the similarities to typical reverse trap characters? He's a bit too effeminate to be one, ironically.

I was mainly just thinking of the ones I've seen being posted around here (Ensemble Stars, A3, Aichuu, TsukiPara). I mean as far as I'm aware they're just idol raising/rhythm games so it's not like it's bad or disappointing if they don't have romance but I was just curious since they're so popular.

So I finally completed Taisho Alice, narrowly missing my original goal of finishing before the release of that terrible localization even after all the delays. Though I enjoyed some routes much more than others, it ended up being a great game thanks to fun comedy, a stellar heroine, and an interesting overarching plot. Akazukin and Gretel were my favorites. My least favorite would be Cinderella, whose route had me pretty much just skimming for the last chunk. Epilogue did feel largely unnecessary, but I did like the backstory segments. I'll have to get the FD eventually.

My boy rankings would be: Akazukin>Gretel>Alice>Ookami>Mahoutsukai>Kaguya=Shirayuki>Ryoushi=Cinderella

The ED song grew on me and it looks like it's included in a Love Solfege album coming out later this month, so I'll be looking forward to that.

I've been playing A3 for about a week or maybe a bit over, rank 47 so far. I don't know if I'm just crazy but the protagonist seems really great. Especially considering some mobile games I played just straight-up don't really have a protag since they just have them be silent. And for some reason it feels kinda good to play as an actual adult instead of a 15 year old highschooler, even though that doesn't necessarily bother me or anything.

(Unrelated) I don't actually have a particular dislike for "weak protags" that a lot of people seem to, although some things typical weak protags do can annoy the hell out of me, like blushing and stuttering at every cheesy line any male character says. And in fact occasionally some protags that are meant to be "strong" just end up seeming way too tryhard in a way and nearly cringey worst-case scenario to me (off the top of my head, Tsubasa no Oka no Hime). Personally, I'd like to see more protags with just plain unique personalities, like the one from Kaeru Batake de Tsukamaete. She was a qt.

The ED is long out already, it came with the OST. If you can't find it I'll upload it for you.
Which OP was your favorite? After the rock version all the others felt too slow for me.

I felt the same way about the routes. Some of them have large details left out that makes them feel incomplete. Once everything is revealed you can piece everything together and understand why it was done, but it does subtract from the experience while you're in the middle of it. Shirayuki's in particular suffered a lot from having a jumble of foreshadowing that made it hard to know what the fuck was going on at times.
Kaguya's on the other hand stood alone perfectly and might be my favorite route in an otoge ever.

I didn't have any luck, so I'd really appreciate that.
The original is the most memorable to me, followed by the rock version. I probably only listened to the other versions once or twice.

Gretel's route stood out as my personal favorite, from the themes to the way the flashbacks were handled. Now that you mention it, most of what I remember from Shirayuki's route is the foreshadowing.

Well, I've played the Diabolik Lovers series and stuff and I can still enjoy myself, so maybe I sounded more upset than I really am. The main reason I get salty isn't necessarily "hurr durr dumb weak females liking what I don't like" but rather that while there's a lot of stuff catered specifically to submissive people there's not as much for dominant people (talking specifically otome games here). Obviously the demand is higher for the former so it can't be helped, but still. In other words, I'm jealous.
There does seem to be a decent drama CD selection which is pretty nice.

What gets me instant diamonds is wild, passionate sexual activity against a wall, especially if it's from someone who's normally composed (Utapri's Ringo ending related)

Anyone played this game and can comment on how it is? I've had my eye on it but I'd have to actually buy it unless there's some secret Vita resource that I'm missing beside a-s/OD.

>>
>>17017113
In that case that's completely understandable. I'm just used to those questions being used to start a "my taste is better than theirs" circlejerk so sorry if I came off rough.

I'd like more of that in my otoges too. Although I'm more into non doM guys being dominated and forced to like it than actual doM guys. Too bad that's even more niche. :_;
I go back and listen to the Kaede-kun cds occasionally. Still good stuff.

>I go back and listen to the Kaede-kun cds occasionally.
Oh man. One of the very few drama CDs out of the mountains I've listened to that I still kept on my harddrive/relisten. I also liked the Reversible series a decent amount. I'm the same that I much prefer a non-doM one as opposed to one that has an actual doM personality.

I listened to that Doutei Kiri CD recently published which I had high hopes for but I was a bit disappointed. Even though you were a slutty teacher taking their virginities it somehow still didn't scratch my domination itch as much as I thought it would. Re-reading the description on dlsite I guess my expectations were a bit off so it's completely my fault (I mean, the first paragraph literally says "「やられっぱなしじゃ男がすたる」とエッチな反撃をしてくる彼に、余計に興奮が止まらない" so I'm just retarded.) Also, I would have preferred each guy being separate "timelines" instead of you being a genuine slut. I guess it's fresh if nothing else.

It's a social norm most people cannot look past. They cannot appreciate the beauty and vulnerability of a man who is willing to give up complete control to the one he loves.

>>
>>17020807
>Why are you idiots so defensive about this shit?
people were saying they didn't like it and the thread was fine until you decided to make ridiculous comments. think about the issue for a second.
>>
Can somebody explain how doS is all over otome when most are vanilla and not even r18?

People are aware the ド stresses the S, right? As in ドS is extreme S. And even just plain S is rare in non-adult games.

Kabedon doesn't even come near S territory let alone doS territory.

Assertive dudes =/= S or ドS.

You sound pretty sensitive to be honest.

Why have chinks been so useless with scans lately?
>>
What have you considered picking up recently?
>>
>>17021096
Nothing because nothing recent ever gets uploaded
>>
>>17021207
You don't have a backlog?
>>
>>17018325
Do you mean doujin games/CDs or doujinshi/fanart
>>
>>17021005
That's what I'm wondering. I've never tried to get into magazine scans until now but is there some sort of "pirate code" where you only scan stuff that's like 3+ months old? I've heard of that for doujin games, since many of them sell so low that immediately releasing them actually would be a genuine blow to the company (whereas commercial stuff sells enough even with immediate pirating, I guess? Never really looked into the subject). Or is it just simply nobody wants to buy/scan.
I mean, I guess it's working if that's the case, seeing as the magazines that I'm interested in are all sold on Amazon jp, ~900 yen, and ship internationally, so I'm getting extremely tempted to just say screw it and buy everything myself.
>>
>>17021439
>whereas commercial stuff sells enough even with immediate pirating
Not really in this hobby. High sellers like Utapri are exceptions, not norms.
>>
>>17020912
That's been my problem too. They seem too light for sadists, seeing as the farthest they'll go is saying some mean words to the heroine and fondling her. And most soften up from even that later on.

It feels like femdom being considered "girl on top" instead of a BDSM fetish.
>>

I wish he had better glasses pictures. I don't care for him without his megane and find him cuter with them on.
>>
>>17016948
All I want is a girl on top and a sexually submissive guy without the doM attached. But she's usually a prince type or he's a wanko if it happens and I'm kind of tired of that.
>>
>>17021626
Then you should try to listen to Namidame's first volume.
>>
>>17021705
That was the one where she gets the dude's ass fired, right? Namidame protags are kind of wild.

The third one with Nakazawa was alright. They at least seemed to be in a decent situation, despite the pig and master/sub stuff.
>>
>>17021626
IIRC Futari no Himitsu's first volume had a sexually submissive guy. It was a really cute CD overall.
>>
>>17021740
That one was alright. Didn't Kyouai Catharsis and Switching have one too? And are they usually tied up? It seems like a lot of them are.

I've felt like a-s has been doing a pretty good job, all things considered (as in, it isn't private). Unless you're wanting doujin stuff, Blackish House Side Z, Gakuen Club PC port, Taishou Alice Heads & Tails are all pretty recent releases that has been uploaded. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to a-s so I don't know how their "system" works, not sure if there's like an organized group of uploaders since I would see stuff like "funded for now" in their signatures, or if it's just random people uploading what they have. Obviously there's been missing stuff, but it's generally been good enough that I don't have to spend my precious chink points on commercial games.
Or if you're talking drama CDs, then yes, public releases are just pathetic.
>>
Does anybody actually use the rec chart?
>>
>>17021626
I'm similar, my favorite is more of a simple "girl leading/assertive" rather then legit femdom/masochism, I don't even really care for any kind of bondage etc. I mean, I sure as hell take what I can get, but that would be my ideal. If something could just be like a basic vanilla h-scene you always see but with the protag and hero roles reversed, that would be sweet.

how does someone screw up that bad
>>
>>17020912
Nips use M and S casually to describe someone as if they're talking about the weather.

"Oh, Tanaka has to be an S. He's so tall and firm."
"But I once saw him buying lots of sweets. He must really be a do-M."
>>
>>17022210
Probably because even official stuff will describe their character as "doS" when all they do is a little teasing or be assertive. Sometimes annoying. In theory >>17020912 is completely right but when you look at the actual usage of the term and not what it should mean, it's different.
>>
>>17022210
By being melodramatic and sensitive.

I don't even like these tropes myself, but the people who whine about them are always a predictable exaggerating retard.

I don't really see the term officially used for most otome games or all-ages works in general, unless I'm looking in the wrong places.

No, otherwise we would have retards saying 90% of otome is doS shit because they saw a few kabedon scenes somewhere.

Since I have an abysmally large backlog that's been growing since like 2012, I decided to start going through it in chronological order before I start playing all the newer fancier games. But they're so old that anything to say about them has been said and anyone who would be interested in playing it would have played it already so I figured no point posting. But I guess I might as well.

I'm out of the real old-old era and am now starting the 2010-12 ones. Currently I've been reading the PC port of Nise no Chigiri. It stuck out to me because not all the heroes were the average prettyboys, I mean one of them is a straight-up ossan, although I haven't played his route yet. Although I'm assuming his route either isn't romantic or some timetravel bullshit happens and he meets the heroine back in her world as a chipper young ikemen. The heroine is a qt and so are the female subcharacters (which always scores more points than it really should with me). The art is great, the voice actors, the music, etc. etc. as you'd expect from a large company.

As for the plot, well... After playing a lot of otome I've come to learn not to hold the quality of the plots to the same standard I would other types of media unless I want to be consistently disappointed. I feel like there are 3 "categories" of otome games: pure fun romance ones (often set in school), actual plot-focused games that really just happen to be otome, and ones that do bother to write a serious plot, but the most you can hope is that it isn't retarded enough to distract from enjoying the heroes. None of the story happenings that I've witnessed have made me want to blow my brains out, but I also am sure as hell only playing the routes of the characters that I'm interested in, it's just extremely mediocre. Basically everything about it is Otomate in a nutshell now that think about it.

I'm still planning on playing 3 more routes so I'm not finished with it yet.
>>
If you actually want to know about specific games that just get screenshot posted, just ask.

>>17022537
Been meaning to play this for the guy in the pic and Oostuka jiji, who stays jiji the whole time going by the fandisc screens on vndb.
But of course huge backlog, have to try and beat my record of 9 games last year.

>>17022537
About older otome, have you played Oukyuu Yasoukyoku? Being the only r18 otome Hiroaki Miura has done as far as I know.made me interested, but I wonder if it's also a decent game.
>>
>>17022575
Just a note in the guy in my screenshot, for me personally his route was the least favorite of the 3 I've played (others being Akatsuki and Shuuya). Mainly a subjective thing, it just was focused on a trope that I don't like, which was having a past wife/lover that died or they're otherwise caught up on, the protag wondering if she can ever replace her, so forth. Not necessarily in a "my 30+ year old husbando isn't an untouched flower? NTR!" way, but I've just always felt it was utilized poorly and a cheap way to add drama every time I've seen it. And to be honest I just never got the sense that he actually loved the protagonist in a romantic kind of way, I kept wondering how the protag would have him look at her as more than just a little sister type thing, but then it just sort of got resolved in the last 1 minute by the protag forcibly kissing him. Definitely wasn't the worst route I've ever played or anything.
(I also find it kind of funny to think if a writer did that in an eroge/galge that wasn't specifically NTR/cheating based and the reaction from the readers it could have. Well, there's not usually heroines older than their early 20s.)

>>17022602
Coincidentally that's the game I finished before starting this one. It was such an unfortunate piece. I liked the art even though it shows its age, the voice acting was great, the characters are good, and actually the plot was as a whole quite nice and enjoyable (excluding a couple characters). I loved the concept itself and I loved seeing Cain change from a empty doll sort of state to a normal person. But it was brought extremely down by the system.

Basically the reason it sucks is that you're going to need to do a ton of save scumming for the lessons/date invites/etc. to succeed. But it's all slow and clunky and it makes the whole thing so tedious. And the worst part is, the whole time you pretty much can just use the option to automatically choose what lessons to do. So why not just have it as a normal VN?

By the way, if you don't want to play it but are interested in the h-scene for that voice actor, I can give you a save file that has saves along key story events and obviously the h-scene. (I downloaded it to see the h-scenes of the characters I didn't play but it ended up including story events too which was cool as hell.)

I finally beat Zain and Radius' routes.
Honestly, I don't know what to say about Zain's route, it was a wild ride. I expected a computer program learning about emotions and love, not him fusing with the PK, going batshit crazy and his interface numbers bugging out. I feel like it was best that I did Demento's route before Zain's. It took me a few lines but I was shocked when I first saw his real world sprite.

On the other hand, Raidus' route was good. Kazuha got major points from me when she started calling out Poyo-poyo on who he is and when she said she should believe in herself. I started getting worried at the end there wouldn't be any Astrum bullying, but no, I wasn't let down.

I'll probably finish Hiroya and Poyo-poyo's routes tomorrow.

It seems pretty good, though I'm an EOP so I can't say if they're twisting things in the translation too much. So far only one scene seemed like a slightly awkward translation and I've come across like four mistakes that aren't really anything. Pic related is the "worst" offender that I've seen.
