Anime-esque dreams

August 14, 2013.Reading time 2 minutes.

I just woke up around thir­ty min­utes ago. And, I had a dream that I can’t exact­ly describe. It was appar­ent­ly real life, but it felt like a visu­al novel/anime. I was a bum stu­dent (the ones that are con­sid­ered delin­quents in Japan, like Tomoya Okaza­ki) and I had a teacher that believed in me […]

March 18, 2013.Reading time 28 minutes.

Visual Novels vs. Dating Simulation Games

June 12, 2012.Reading time 6 minutes.

A wide­ly skewed image of the visu­al nov­el genre. and a com­mon­ly incor­rect usage of the term “dat­ing sim­u­la­tion,” keeps peo­ple from try­ing out an oth­er­wise excel­lent method of sto­ry­telling. Take the rather recent “Katawa Shou­jo,” for instance. Many peo­ple went in think­ing it was a “dat­ing sim” about dis­abled girls. While the sto­ry is […]
