Seeing the entry for NamaColle, it being centered around wooing a lover of seacucumbers, makes me think of Ojisan and Marshmallow. I much prefer marshmallows. Laughing

As for Aka no Prince ~Koi no Jintai Rensei~:

while ignoring that he was once soap scum in your bathtub.

Is that the only thing one would ignore? Because, to me, it sounds like you'd be raising your own clone...and then falling in love with him. Or is my concept of a clone completely wrong, and that this being with some of you genetic make-up, due to partly being made from your skin cells, does not make him a clone?

On the new poll, while I was tempted to vote for Nisekoi's Chitoge, it'd be remiss of me to not add Infinite Stratos' Laura Bodewig. So that's what I did.

New poll: Voted for Manaka Mukaido. Her shy but friendly personality would brighten my morning any day. Anime smile

I'm just here to mention Cambrian QTS.

Who needs mundane things like birds or insects when you can have creatures from the Cambrian era?

Er, spoiler warning? -_-; I've only played 3-4 routes in Hatoful Boyfriend and have never come across anything like this.

If it's the one that I'm thinking of, then that list was pretty tame. Things like Let's Meow Meow made the list, and cat girls are pretty mundane as far as dating sims go.

Yeah, I bothered to look this up (because having your work insinuated as a knock-off is great) and there aren't any entries in common.

Poll: I'm thrilled that Major Motoko Kusanagi and Officer Jenny made it among the Top 3. Smile Also satisfied that Miyuki Kobayakawa made it into the poll as well.


true. ever otaku would have had been crying bloody murder if it wasnt otherwise, but almost every old school anime fan who was around during the 90's and early 2000's when stand alone complex was released on Adult Swim had to suspect that the major would be #1 on the list and jenny at #2 just to the fact that their the most popular in the community and is more known than akane who shouldnt even be on the top three. not to mentioned kogami is dead last. and especially considering that having akane as the main lead for season 2 was one of the many reasons why some people didn't like that season at all.

For the moderators who are going to PM me for what I'm about to do,I'm sorry but I was late and I hope that my comments don't hurt the comments system. That being said,I'm not sure about these dating sims. I don't know I'd date any of them even if they were female. They look a little strange and I'm not quite sure what they'd do to me. I might not survive the date. So thanks but no thanks.
