>I can't even begin to describe this work but it was just so good. I sort of feel like I did when I first watched Eva, only instead of just my thoughts being all screwed up, my entire concepts of morality, beauty, and life are fucked.

>>10478416
I can't tell if this is heavy sarcasm or you actually relating to my post.

>>10478428
No, I really do relate. So many feels. Are you me?

>my entire concepts of morality, beauty, and life are fucked.

*stylishly adjusts fedora* +1 internets to you sir, we need more philosophical eroge readers such as yourself in kono sekai

>>10478431
Maybe, but the real question is are we you or me? But seriously, I feel so...black inside. I can't even really process the emotional reactions I have.

>>10478438

Ironic shitposting is still shitposting, sempai.

There's always gotta be that guy.

>>10478428

This is /jp/, newfriend. He's just being an asshole so he can show other assholes how cool he is

Anyway, I agree that SnU is a hell of a trip. Gen Urobuchi is quite a character. You should check out his other works. Madoka Magica is a very popular recent series he was involved with, check it out if you haven't already

You're silly, OP. You were supposed to feel aroused and masturbate to the monster-loli sex and rape. I bet you're one of those nerds who tries to convince himself that the ero scenes had deep meanings behind them and weren't there to masturbate to.

>>10478445
Yeah, I don't browse /jp/ much but I heard you guys can be pretty harsh by even 4chan standards. It was a trip indeed. I watched the entirety of PMMM in one sitting, hahaha. I heard the fate/stay night anime was pretty bad compared to the novels. How much truth is there to that?

>>10478441
Glad I'm not the only one, man.

>>10478448
>implying I wasn't hard as fuck during those scenes
I also loved the romance and feelings between the characters. There was obviously some significance to some of the sex scenes but most were definitely just wank material.

>>10478449
>pretty harsh by even 4chan standards
Don't worry, /jp/ is full of soft cuties and muffins.

>>10478449
>I heard the fate/stay night animewas pretty bad compared to the novels. How much truth is there to that?

Truthfully, I don't know as I washed my hands of all things Type Moon after reading Tsukihime. Have to admit, I wasn't a fan

If most vn-to-anime standards are something to go by, though, its anime is probably awful

>>10478449
You mean fate/zero? Gen had nothing to do with the original.

>>10478442

What if I'm not being ironic? Listen up assdriver: do you think of 4chan as some kind of museum? Do you think you can stroll past posts and give everyone your dickhead little comments? "The use of lighting in this piece is remarkable, but I'm rather put off by the ironic shitposting. It is still shitposting after all" <-- yeah? Who fucking asked you?

My posts are not public domain, they are irreversible, magnificent testaments to my entire being manifested in text form. You better back the FUCK OFF nerd.

Finished Saya no Uta. And it was really, really average.

95% of the cast was completely unlike-able, the exceptions being Saya herself and Kouji. The plot wasn't all that good, though it did have it's moments. The resolution was either extremely stupid or doesn't resolve much at all, depending on which you take.

That said, I didn't hate it. It was interesting enough to keep me reading, but it never wowed me or made me experience any emotion at all, for that matter. The sad moments never effected me, and the 'intense' moments made me go meh. Everything is pretty much forgettable.

Can somebody explain me why people hyped it so much? Because there's absolutely nothing special about it.

>>10478463

It's quite possible that most people who read it weren't hipsters "ironically" reading a vn so they could later tell everyone how average it was, Anon

>>10478463

>or made me experience any emotion at all

Clearly it made you feel underwhelmed, retard. Or at least you're pretending it did.

Take your dipshit "review" back to blogspot.

>>10478470
It's quite possible you have shit taste.

>>10478478

>shit taste

Retro as fuqk dude, any other years-old /a/ memes you feel like sharing with us?

I like it so far; though I haven't' had much time to play it yet.

Kind of wondering if the hallucinations are infact reality, Saya's motivations...

I think it will be good if I keep reading far too much into everything and expecting a twist. then even a not twist is a twist right?

Music's pretty good so far too

>>10478462

I must say that was the most beautiful rebuttal I have ever read.

Even though I'm doing exactly what you just ripped into some guy for doing.

Still; the composition of that was amazing. Not being sarcastic at all. Well done you magnificent creature

>>10478488
No, your taste is just plain shit. Just kidding, I thought that Saya no Uta was pretty decent, but nothing that would deserve an 8 or a 9. I dunno why people hype it so much, maybe because of the shocking value? I can't say much about this, but I've also heard that the translator of SnU did a really god job too. Maybe when it was released this helped the hype.

>>10478462

lel what a tryhard

>>10478852
Please kill yourself. Thanks.

>>10478832
you know...it may come to you as a shock, but most people don't think in "how high I would rate it 1-10?" or "how does it look compared to other works of fiction?" categories.

dipshit.

>>10478862
You can easily interpretate what I've said about the grades to as "people think it's really good, or simply great". It isn't hard, anon.

>>10478442
That is just making fun of someone. You can't even pretend you read that line in the OP and didn't cringe.

>>10478862
Not him, but I'm one of those people who suffer from the curse of being unable to not think of things in terms of ratings. I feel like it really takes the fun out of things, but I can't stop.

>>10478409
It's called catharsis. If you like it, I recommend exploring avant-garde music.

There needs to be a threadban here

>>10479388
I'd rather see a threadban over one your shitty touhou imagedumps, shitposter.

+Music similar to War of the Worlds (I can like western stuff too)
+This paralleled a lot of visuals, worked well, Don't know if intentional
+Choices presented were pivotal, It was simple and worked
+Would challenge most people perceptions of morality (Not mine for I am Ubermensch but I can understand peoples trippedness)

-Felt overly emotionally manipulative at times
-Predictable as all hell (+1 for rational behind Yuo being allowed to continuing to exist -.5 for it kind of pulling me out of Fuminori's head space)

Bottom line; Species meets War of the Worlds with 50% less implied vore Original Eva... Third Impact still shits over everything in the history of man kind (Aside from maybe [S]Cascade)... is still better. But if you want something that has the potential to get into your head this might make your motor run.

~It all returns to nothing, it just comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down.~

>>10479407

Then why do you sage? you realise that a go at the thread right? as it doesn't bump.

Newfriends, seriously

>>10478463
>95% of the cast was completely unlike-able

5/7 characters isn't equal to 95%.

Additionally, a character doesn't have to be "likable" to be a good character. I don't know where this insinuation came from, but it's ridiculous.

>>10478462
Quality fucking post right here.

>>10479469
>My posts are not public domain, they are irreversible, magnificent testaments to my entire being manifested in text form.

Is the most brilliant thing I've heard coming out of a humans mouth... well keyboard... in the last week... and I all the boards.

In fact I intend to use it in the future

>>10479466
Yeah, if anything this is one of those stories where the characters are supposed to be unlikeable. It's supposed to challenge you morally. Who's in the right here? Who's more sympathetic: Fuminori? Kouji? Saya? That sort of thing.

>>10479407
Nobody wants to bump a thread with a reply that's just calling someone else a shitposter, idiot.

>>10479455
I don't want to bump a thread with a useless reply.

>>10479478
I feel like the VN focused much more on the two possible views of the relationship between Saya and Fuminori. One side being a grotesque and nasty relationship between a man that has gone crazy and a monster. The other, the love between a man and an angel that has rescued him from complete madness. That concept itself is really interesting, but I feel like Urobuchi tried too hard to create a shock value sometimes, such as when it was discovered that Fuminori was becoming a cannibal.

i thought up a good title for this thread

'dumb people try to analyze VNs and embarrass themselves'

Yume Nikki and .flow

Both beautiful, odd, surreal and disturbing.

>>10479499
Also known as "Saya no Uta thread"

>>10479478

You fix that by ignoring the trolls and contributing something meaningful to the topic

>>10479486

Well, I'll be honest. I don't /jp/ that often. I want too though, Despite my "meh" tone in my pseudo-review I don like these kind of roms and would like to find more of them. Plus Flan-chan is awesome and Yowane Haku is mai Waifu; I think there's a place for me here.

But on most other boards saging is against the OP.

Don't insult the OP bro, he took me on a trip I thoroughly enjoyed.

Is this board allergic to shameless bumping or something?

>>10479499
After I read Saya no Uta the first time, I spent a stupid amount of time thinking about it. So, I'm glad it's not just me, honestly.

>>10479508
>Is this board allergic to shameless bumping or something?

Yes it is. Lurk. Seriously. Not trying to be a dick or anything, but it's pretty obvious that you haven't and it's not a good thing when it's obvious.

>>10479499
How about throwing some counter-arguments instead of calling other people's opinions shit?

>>10479518

I knew this, I was being satirical.

I'm not even seeing this as shameful bumping.

Rather contributing to the discussion. And the discussion in this thread

>>10479519
>>10479499

now seems to include the value of other peoples opinions.

I should, by rights sage this but I'm going to break the social conventions and not.

>*Gasp* what a rebel; surely he will lead us all to the promised land.
>banned

>>10479519

if i see someone pooping themselves and blowing one of those birthday twizzler things, i will just go 'wow that guy is a moron' because it's probably pointless to convince them to not self-poop

that's what is happening here. sorry if i hurt your feelings by calling your important philosophical analysis 'dumb'

>>10479547

please crawl back to your native board. you are not welcome here and will continue to be made fun of.

>>10479561

I will adapt and we will all be better for it.
Thank you for your concern

>>10479554
I wasn't the one who made some kind of important phylosophical analysis in this thread, I just threw one or two comments. But you assume that your perception of the situation could be represented by a bunch of people doing retarded things, when this is pretty much just your view of the situation. And you're also assuming that no one will listen if you try to disagree with their points. That isn't necessarily true. Your opinion isn't the pinnacle of /jp/.

>>10479577
I'm sorry dude.

Sweet Pool evokes similar sort of feelings, sharing the same core messages and instilling the same bittersweet feelings and overall sense of catharsis one would get from reading Saya. Although Urobutcher served the role of advisor for Sweet Pool, not actually writing it.

A post on 2ch I read once compared Saya no Uta to the revival/rebirth part of the Phoenix manga by Tezuka (well, compared is a pretty nice way of saying, "ripped off" might be more precise).
If you want something similar you could check that, I haven't read it myself though so I don't know how truth there is in that.

>>10479674
>Resurrection
>(復活編 fukkatsu-hen) The sixth volume, originally serialized in 1970-1971. The story takes place in 2482-3344 AD. In an age of robotics, technology and science, young Leon dies in a car accident. He is returned to life by scientific surgery, but his now mostly-artificial brain makes him see living things -- including humans -- as distorted clay figures, while he sees machines and robots as beauties. Leon falls in love with a worker robot, Chihiro, whom he sees as a beautiful girl, and will fight for this forbidden love. He will also find out the secret behind his accident. A side plot features the robot Robita, who previously appeared in Future.
Yeah, it was probably the inspiration for Saya no Uta

>>10479690
Wow, first this then Kamen Rider, what will Urobuchi rip off next?

it makes my asshole pucker when i read the word 'catharsis' in this thread's posts

obviously the dude is trying to look smart and it's making me feel proxy-embarrassed for him

>>10479690
Saya no Uta makes a direct reference to Resurrection. It's most definitely what inspired Urobrochi

>>10479775
Nah, catharsis just happens to be the perfect word to describe the intense feelings one gets from works like these. Just because you have a small working vocabulary does not mean the rest of us do. Faggot.

>>10479795

critical amounts of asshurt on being called out for misusing your pretentious shit

>>10479772
yah, and to be honest, sya no uta felt like an interesing retelling of the idea with changes, not the same story with a crappy genre swap

>>10479809
Nice job talking out of your asshole. Its actually pretty funny

>>10479836

there is a thick, pungent crossboarder miasma coming off these posts in sheets

>>10478463
Finished reading your post for the n'th time. And it was really, really average.

95% of the words are completely reused, the exceptions being Saya and Kouji. The review wasn't all that good, though it did have it's highlights. The impression I got was either extremely vague or doesn't give an impression at all, depending on how I read it.

That said, I didn't hate it. It was interesting enough to keep me reading, but it never struck me as critical or even presented something useful, for that matter. The choice of words was okay, and what commentary you had made me go meh. Everything is pretty much forgettable.

Can somebody explain why people write as you so much? Because there's absolutely nothing special about it.
