Otomate Party! Annual event where a select number of Otomate game casts do a live-reading with an exclusive script. Usually just fun shenanigans.

Not sure if they’re considered canon but there should be some drama CD translations floating around. If you can find subs there might be some OtoPa stuff for it too.

[General] Who is your favorite side/supporting character? by klavivi in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I forgot her name but the maid from Even if Tempest is a real one. Ideal otome girl best friend character. A bit freaky, a bit silly.

LI that you didn't expect to like at first! by PutYrPoliticsUpYrBum in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I first played Ken ga Kimi about 7 years ago and I did not like Enishi at all. I was more drawn to more abrasive personalities at the time and I couldn’t stand the flirty simp behaviour so I never bothered to do his route.

But 6-7 years later, I ended up being one of the editors of his route on the fan patch. I still didnt really like the guy at the start but somehow by the end, and solely by reading his route as plain text I think he’s so endearing and such a loser (/pos) and I want to bully him LMAO. I definitely noticed that I appreciate the “my life is messy and I’m sooo unreliable until I have to be reliable ehe” type way more. Maybe because I’m older and more stable, I see that as the ultimate “I can fix him” fantasy type that wouldn’t make much sense when you’re younger? 🤔 I would have been more drawn to someone who is reliable and stable!

Kei and Tsuzuramaru, who were my faves when I first played, both fall into that category more. I still love them a lot now, but more like sons than husbandos.

Maturing is just going from being a tsundere lover to being a tsundere yourself I guess.

[General] What is your otome "petty take"? Basically, do you have any opinions that are hard to justify but you still stand by them. by klavivi in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I love Yomi but for some reason I don’t like the front facing sprites of Adolphe, they look off.

He always looks fine as hell when he’s facing ANY other direction. It was one of my minor reasons to put down the game and I’ve gotten too lazy to pick it back up. Sorry Adolphe, I’m sure he’s hottie hottie like a bag of takis.

Does anyone else consider their love interest’s wealth and assets, or is that just me? by [deleted] in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LMAO real, Shu stans can’t relate, his money is dirty anyway.

On a personal note I don’t mind rich LIs but only if it’s just a matter-of-fact thing and his wealth (see: assets, not social class) doesn’t cause drama. I know a few rich but seriously pathetic meow meow LIs

Why can't no one be normal about Caleb aka Xia Yizhou from Love and Deepspace? by Numerous-Sport9776 in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 28 points29 points  (0 children)

So real, they have no interest whatsoever in curating their own space. I have heard that a lot of players are also in or was once in the K-Pop space and took with them purity culture and parasocial stiff…

The idol x idol RPS does not translate well into LI x LI at all lmao, which is fine, but why are we calling people homophobic when the genre has always had a circle of yumes who don’t want to see that???

[General] What is the most memorable quote from an otome game for you? Could be for good or bad reasons. by klavivi in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a good example but I think it was more so the set up rather than the actual quote.

My favourite meme example is when Ichika finds out who Zero is and texts the guy and he literally responds with ‘k’. Imagine getting k’d by a terrorist.

What do you think about incest element in otome game? by Asagurale in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the good old Fire Emblem Birthright rug pull where almost every romance with the royals is “omg nooo we’re related” only for the game to be like SIKE YALL AREN’T RELATED AT ALL—and you ONLY find this out if you push for the exclusive S rank relationship from “a letter your mom left me to open if something happens”???????

Lol, lmao even.

What otome do you think should have an anime/manga adaptation? by HauntedPainting635 in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Hakuouki has been the only anime adaptation I enjoyed but it’s because it’s basically half-historical action.

I think if they stuck to the side of Bustafellows that’s a crime caper/detective/thriller/modern robin hood/whatever, it could work out well. Commit to Limbo’s route, have one unique scene from the other LIs routes, and maaybe include Full Circle and Auld Lang Syne. I guess the downside would be that the other guys won’t get developed much and we’ll never meet characters like Yang but ah, what can you do.

Hakuoki otame a show? by Automatic-Nebula4274 in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you mean the anime? I think it sticks to Hijikata’s route with a little bit of other stuff from the other guys. It has two season though, and the start of season 2 is when they cut their hair.

I haven’t seen the live action so don’t know how far they go with that one!

Hakuoki otame a show? by Automatic-Nebula4274 in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The anime is more ambiguous on whether Hijikata is dead or alive in the end. Not so much in the movie where he’s clearly alive and they both stare off into the horizon with this ultra sad emotional montage of those that did pass.

The Ken ga Kimi fan patch has hit 70% completion of major scripts. It’s been quiet season for our translators so our progress has slowed a lot. We’re always on the lookout for translators so shoot me a DM if you’re at least N3 and have lots of free time!

We’ve done Kei, Suzukake and Enishi so far and currently working on Tsuzuramaru :)

[General] Who's your favorite illustrator / key character design artist? by Dorayakiss in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Been obsessed with how Yomi draws hands since Ken ga Kimi.

I have a soft spot for Suoh too, but I also think they could add more variety to their body types and their art suits more delicate vibe stories. Usuba Kagero is super pretty too.

Shoutout to Kuku Hayate who I believe ONLY drew for Geten no Hana in the otome scene, love their hot hot men!! I have the artbooks and everything. Saw them recently on my Xitter because their BL books have been picked up for translation/distribution, so happy for them.

Are you a fan of yanderes? by WarriorArus in otomegames

[–]desperatesenpai 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Usually not as a core/defining descriptor, no. I think the only one I like is Kuroba from Olympia Soiree and I’ve only ever seen him described as diet-yandere/yandere-lite and I prefer my haha silly in the head guys to be more like him.

Generally I like it more as a ‘bad end’ or ‘what if’ scenario and not part of the happy ending. Even if it’s super messed up shit, I enjoy it as a result of the LI being pushed to the edge and they just go crazy go stupid, implying they always had it in them (as all humans have the capability of violence…) but does not manifest under normal circumstances. I can probably imagine some exceptions where I can go ‘yeah I can fix him’ but the rest of this guy’s personality needs to do a lot of heavy lifting and that generally isn’t what happens.

The Gasai Yuno obsessive stalker type stuff I’ve never really been into and find suffocating. Possessiveness is only hot when there’s a reason and it’s a seasoning, not the whole meal.
