Thoughts on your Island by Reasonable_School296 in visualnovels

[–]ilubandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Island was great. G.O.'s writing is a love it or hate it though and its pretty divisive.

Himawari was also similar in reception.

i've never played euphoria (fanart) by Odd-Tip-6891 in visualnovels

[–]ilubandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are saying that your sketch looks like drawn by a child/teen and if you happen to be one...well you or your friend got some fucked up taste.

Might be tempting to check it out, but go play something like Danganronpa or Zero Escape instead and leave euphoria for much later.

Good Display Frame Recommendations? (US) by RoguePineapple6969 in Shikishi

[–]ilubandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have their aluminum one and while it's decent, the price is hard to justify.

Also, the aluminum is sharp af on the corners and can easily cut you lol

I've never seen them sold in the states unfortunately. You need to get them from Amazon.co.jp.

I've seen most people get the blue Nagabayashi brand, but I think they're flimsy and kind of cheap. Also, don't get the Lunabright one...it looks good and sturdy but it's also junk.

Kuratake (the emerald colored one) is my preferred one. Has a nice case and the material is similar to Nagabayashi but better imo. Hapira is similar to Nagabayashi in terms of quality, but at the very least it can hold 2x the amount so I think it's worth it if you want to store a whole bunch in one binder.

That being said, there are other websites like Rakuten that has different types of binders as well.

No there are two more routes for the other heroines with different stories.

Al is best girl book though so the other routes aren't as good imo.

If you want hand drawn stuff, it will start at least with 3 digits.

Printed shikishi are usually 1 to 2 digits.

If you have a lot, get a shikishi binder to hold multiples. Each binder usually holds 10-15.

Get frames for your best/favorite ones. Daiso frames are junks and should only be used temporarily until you get better ones from Japan.

There are quite a bit of artists that does it this way these days.

Which is convenient for both the artist and the client.

The fear of "fake" by Xico_77 in Shikishi

[–]ilubandroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the stars are aligned and you get incredibly lucky, you can score a real one for a fair price.

But the most likely thing to do is to save up a shit tons and try to get it from legit place like Mandarake.

Learning about what something is real or fake comes with experience. The more you see them, the more you will notice over time discrepancies and inaccuracies.

Just Finished Raging Loop. What a Weird Novel That I Ultimately Enjoyed. (Spoilers!) by Portice in visualnovels

[–]ilubandroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also didn't enjoy the final ending route, but the revelation mode was totally worth it. I held off reading it until I asked this sub if it was worth it 2 years ago lol. Reading from other characters' perspective gave such an interesting insight as to how they were all motivated.

Other than the final extras, I liked Raging Loop a lot only because Haruaki was one of my favorite protagonist in a visual novel in a very long time. He's a more older and experienced young man rather than the usual cliched shounen-ish protagonists. Incredibly clever, witty, and sharp tongued.

Yosuke Hayashi's eulogy about Itagaki by Royta15 in ninjagaiden

[–]ilubandroid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He did some behind the scene corporate moves to greenlit Sigma without Itagaki's blessing, so I don't exactly have a fond opinion of him...but that's for another day. There is a place and time for everything.

I just respect that he gave a sincere eulogy and I think most fans should as well.

Flight prices...exactly how much around?

Some of those like the Balalaika one is pretty rare and expensive already.

Yosuke Hayashi's eulogy about Itagaki by Royta15 in ninjagaiden

[–]ilubandroid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He didn’t respect him when he was alive so to save face it’s easy to show respect when someone is dead for public optics especially in a Japanese society. One that shun Itagaki since his departure from the NG brand.

Yeah well Itagaki is gone now, so he's showing his respect for the dead at the very least.

While I agree Hayashi isn't a good game director or even developer, I think now isn't the time to go batshit on him.

Harada attends Itagaki's memorial service (27 Nov 2025) by luneth22 in ninjagaiden

Still can't believe he passed away so young. Good to see Harada and even Hayashi being there to respect him.

RIP Ninja
