To summarize everything that I know.ġ.) The visual Novel is considered an epic Visual Novel with 100 hours + gameplay WHERE EVERY LINE OF DIALOGUE COUNTS TO THE EPICNESS OF THE VN (if you choose to skip the common route it'll be 80+ hours, to be safe, I'll make it 100+ hours. Tl dr play the VN and (if you like it) watch the anime after for some nostalgia - unless you get too irritated with severe pacing problems and lack of romance in some routes. Can't say more because of spoilers, but when you finish the VN you'll understand what it is.
That's why I think VN fans has most chance of liking them (since they already know the original story).Īlso, there's a "storytelling trick" that the anime can't reproduce entirely, no matter how good that adaptation could be. The girls routes until now range from average (Komari) to good (Mio), they are the best adapted parts homever, when the whole content doesn't make the audience feel for the characters, they are kinda ineffective. The common route adaptation is the main source of the problem: introductions of characters and comedy scenes are way too stretched, taking time that could be used to character development one route was inserted before the end of the introductions also, Rin's development feel inconsistent. Surely it is faithful to the main events of the story and is telling it in a new perspective, but some strong pacing issues can ruin the experience for most anime-only viewers. Let's say that I disagree that the anime is a good adaptation. At this point, I just see the anime as some enjoyment for those who played the VN and want to see some scenes animated (even though JC animation is really average). As I've already downloaded it, I need to know if it's as good or better than the for the moment ongoing anime?
