Saya no Uta

[Anonymous No.]

It's been discussed to death already, but why not.

Personally, I find the early sex scenes superfluous. I get that their relationship at that point is that close, but narrative wise it was pretty surprising.
However, as you go further along I found that they were a good reflection of not only Fuminori's mind but his relationship with the world.

I preferred the desolated world ending best. Something about the loneliness of a corrupted world and still trying to gather information and figure out the details of what happened, even if there is no future.

La. La, la, la.

Anywho, the sex scenes were certainly a bit overdone, but they weren't superfluous by any means. They were a pretty good indicator of how Fuminori was devolving from a human to a fucking monster of a person.

My favorite Touhou character is Yukari Yakumo and I hate kikes because of their shameless exploitation of the Holohoax, which they blew out of proportion thanks to the falsified reports that they forged in many of the post-war kangaroo courts. It has been over 60 years ago, yet you're still using it as an excuse to get a free pass on EVERYTHING: the insane manipulation of media, the lobbying, the atrocities you're committing against the Palestinians in the lands you STOLE thanks to your Jew friends in the United Kingdom.

You mean "only post about toohoos, shitpost as much as possible, and spam to death every thread you don't like"?

I have argued for a /vn/ for some years and, welp, that failed. You guys need to accept that /jp/ is for VNs, LNs, and any form of Japanese media that doesn't fit into /a/ or /v/, and not just shit that you personally like.

The problem is that /jp/ has too high of a level, and personally I only get around releases after years and then I have nobody to talk about them with.

>>8571867
Ero has a place, don't get me wrong. But there are times when it seems just tacked on on what would be otherwise a good story. Not talking about SnU here, but rather Sharin no Kuni for one. I just couldn't get into the ero there.

>>8572544
Because of the power of love or some similar trope, I guess. Either way, she clearly remembered and obsessed over him enough to drag at least five poor unrelated Takerus from another universe in, then repeatedly reset the entire universe and wiped his memories until he became one with her.

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

[Anonymous No.]

>>8572758
I think it was supposed to be one of those stories where it's more about what's going on than the characters' relationships and development. Of course you're supposed to relate to and care about the characters and that was there, but it clearly wasn't meant to be a tragic tale of friendships gone astray or anything like that. In fact the main character is apathetic towards everyone, and when you see things through his eyes, you sort of sympathize with that and feel the same way. His friends are annoying and I could not care what happens to them. Though maybe that's the bitter shut-in in me talking.

[Anonymous No.]

it's super creepy when someone abuses it as much as some people do on jp who apparently think this is a job interview.

They both mostly wrote short stories. In Lovecraft's case they were for pulp magazines. It's not like you have to have a super long attention span to read them.

Rule #6 is gone from /v/

[Anonymous No.]

i loved saya no uta, it's gotta be my favorite VN of all time. I say that only having read about a dozen VNs though.

In terms of the eroge, I thought it filled a very specific purpose and did not feel out of place at all. i didn't find any of it erotic in the least. it illustrates the kind of relationship saya and fuminori have early on. the purpose shifts as the story continues, and it becomes an instrument to illustrate how fuminori (and saya, too) are becoming immoral and desensitized to the outside world (e.g. the world that doesn't consist of fuminori x saya).

i never did any ending but the ending where saya blossomed, though i read about the other endings. I thought that it was the perfect ending to the story and had no desire to see any other ending.

this is probably the work that made me such a huge fan of urobuchi (the guy who also write madoka of course).

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.

> In terms of the eroge, I thought it filled a very specific purpose and did not feel out of place at all. i didn't find any of it erotic in the least. it illustrates the kind of relationship saya and fuminori have early on. the purpose shifts as the story continues, and it becomes an instrument to illustrate how fuminori (and saya, too) are becoming immoral and desensitized to the outside world (e.g. the world that doesn't consist of fuminori x saya).
This this this.
Obviously it was supposed to be hot and fappable or whatever, but they worked it in pretty well. It just shows what sort of relationship these people have. There were no taboos or ethics involved--these characters were just detached from how the "real world" works.

Perfectly serviceable VN General.
On /jp/, sage is a sign of humility and respect, because you do not think your post is worth bumping the whole thread for.

You...do understand that sage is being used because this is a slow board, and just replying to someone will force out the other newer threads, right? Sage is not report, sage just doesn't bump the damned thread. If the thread were reported 47 times, yeah, I guess you could get mad, but they're just avoiding bumping something that is a) old and already been discussed, while still being able to discuss it, and b) kind of tainted with shitstorm trolling.

Look, I'm saging right now! Doesn't mean I'm saying this thread needs to go away, I actually rather enjoying this thread. I'm not exactly adding to the topic, though, so why should I bump it?

Christ, I frequent /v/, and I understand this. It's not hard. If you have an expository question related to the topic, or have something you'd like to say directly related to the topic, then don't sage. If you're replying to someone mid-conversation, or just want to throw something in that may or may not be related to the actual topic, then sage your post.

This is not a hard thing to understand.

If only that was true.

Sage IS thread voting, whether you like it or not. That is the way it is perceived here, and everywhere else on 4chan.

It probably needs to be removed. I bet a good chunk of shitposters would stop posting if it were.

Only in the sense that it keeps the front page clean. At least in theory.

Anyway, even if you're not trolling, that's how sage is used here. I don't complain about how your board uses it, so deal with it, nerd.

Which shithole of a board did you fucking come from? /a/ here, so I don't make my big bro /jp/ sound like an asshole. You remember all those times that /b/ told you that sage is used for insulting people? They lied, I know its a shocker. Instead if taking in everything that's fed to your eyes how about you look up the FAQ dipshit.

"What is "sage"?
Entering "sage" (by itself) into the [E-mail] field while replying will cause the thread not to bump to the top of the page, while still counting against its reply count. Threads that reach their reply limit can no longer be bumped, causing them to sink to the back pages and be pruned more quickly."

In other words, it lets you post without bumping the thread and there's no need to bump a thread all the time in a slow board like /jp/ since it'll probably take at least 10 minutes to get off the front page even if you don't bump it once unlike the board you came from (probably /v/) which is a fast board, making the function of sage futile. Shut your trap you mangy faggot and lurk the fuck more. You are the reason why /v/ is so shitty. Its ironic how you mention the word cesspool, you just came out of one.

on a somewhat unrelated note, i tried to install/play kikokugai but it's missing a ton of CG and sprites when I try to play the translated version. I installed and ran everything with jap locale but it's still not working. does anyone know what the fuck is going on?

it's only somewhat unrelated because they were both written by urobuchi.

Unfortunately, I can't give you much advice, fairly new to VN's in general. Inganock is not horror, but not by any means the most uplifting VN out there, and really the only one I've liked so far besides SnU. I hear Ever17 and 999 are good, and might be a little up your alley, but on the subject of true horror VN's I've got nothing.

[Anonymous No.]

kikokugai seems really fuckin good from the little I read. I asked some friends for recommendations after i mentioned saya and they both recommended it. it's written by urobuchi of course.

unfortunately until i get all of the sprites and cg working i don't want to play the rest of it. you can help me troubleshoot if you have the same problems playing.

New to them myself. ever17 was good but it dragged on for far too long with the need to complete 4 boring routes to get to the mind blowing part. So, not for everyone. And as someone suggested 999 isn't as good after you've read ever17.

2. Sage

a. What is saging?

Saging is the process of replying to a topic without bumping it, in order to add to its post count.

b. Why should I care?

When a post reaches a certain post count, it cannot be bumped. By saging a post, you are in effect causing it to be pruned faster, and disallowing it from being bumped further.

c. How do I sage?

To sage, simply enter "sage" without quotes into the e-mail field in your reply.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8573635
Technically, it would be "sageing".
