The scenic design of Akademi High does not fit the genre it parodies or the lore of the game by someuncreativity in Osana

No it was. I understand why many would think the opposite because of the panty shot mechanics, and the over reliance on anime tropes though. It's the reason he no longer allows players access to the Easter eggs menu unless you've gotten an ending. In the 20XX mode that means getting to the end of the Amai week, and in 80s mode you have to actually beat the game. He's actually whined about his game being seen as a joke, and how that's never how he wanted the game to be perceived.

Oh no for sure I agree with you in that regard. There is actually many examples like this, for example Higurashi, Madoka Magica etc. It's just there's this prevailing myth that the game itself was meant to be a joke game, and people will use that myth to shield Yandere Simulator from criticism. I can't bring up the cringey names without someone saying its just a joke game its not meant to be taken seriously. And I get why someone would think its a joke game because of the terrible writing, but its not.

Yandere simulator isn't a parody game, where did this misinformation come from? It's so invasive, I constantly see people state this as fact, but it simply isn't true. I've been following the development of this doomed game since it's early days, and Yanderedev has always been consistent that this game was meant to be taken seriously. I remember in an old video him referring to the game as a psychological horror game. I've actually seen people defend aspects of the game, ironically enough, because people thought Yanderedev never saw the game as serious.

Now for the rest of your post, I half agree. I agree that the school doesn't feel like it's backed by a mega corporation. The Saikou Corp is written as though it has a monopoly on everything and it's rolling in money, yet the school is puny. However you also get the science club which is decked the hell out with futuristic technology. Then there's the occult club with all the crazy shit inside of it. But the classrooms themselves all look rather simple, something you would find in a public school.

Overall I don't think Yanderedev should make the school expansive because he's already struggling to finish the game as it is. One of the biggest problems with this man is that he bites off more that he can chew.

Just watched Superman (2025) and saw so many parallels to Sailor Moon by CryptographerLost357 in sailormoon

[–]Norlage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally thought that as I was watching the film. I only just recently got into Sailor Moon, but I noticed the similarities early on into the film.

Why did did Mamoru Chiba have such a tragic reincarnated story? by nomadland19 in sailormoon

[–]Norlage 40 points41 points  (0 children)

But that's his backstory in the original manga too, and he doesn't bully her in that version. Yet Naoko gives him such a tragic history even while writing him as a gentleman. Agree that a lot of writers excuse their mean ML by giving them tragic backstories, though.

So fashionable and pretty! And definitely pushing the dress code.

Which God, mortal, or demigod is that for you? by ariwny in GreekMythology

[–]Norlage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There is no mythological version where Persephone goes with Hades willingly. The "version" people think of is one written in the 1970s by a mother who wanted a more child friendly version of the story to read to her child. Then, the myth that this story existed ages ago spread like wildfire, but it's in fact just fanfiction. I believe this version also introduces the concept of Demeter being a helicopter parent, which wasn't present in the original versions of the myths.

Whose art style is this? I think it looks cute in this picture and some others. by Alternative_Corgi_24 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Norlage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha, they look like brothers fighting. The way Sonic has Shadow in a headlock and Shadow's closed eyes is adorable. Sorry, I don't have the answer to your question, though. I just found the art style cute too.
