It's rather refreshing to be able to read (let alone express) a moot opinion without having to click on a box saying I know the thread is 5.0 days old and the last post was 2.7 hours ago ....
#1 -- I don't live in Japan and have never bothered getting into fansubs, so waiting a few more weeks won't kill me but will allow for greater exposure to projects to keep an eye out for (or avert from) as they work their way over. |

| Tough question. Do I want to have a small opinion about more shows or do I want a better informed one on less?
I'll go with option #1 though. Perhaps if you still want to try to release it as quick as possible, just release a preview as you did this time and have one or two official additions to it outlining the other anime for the season a bit later. And funny observation, but blue drop is incorrectly referenced in the article. I'm not sure if it was already posted but I don't remember reading it. Only "drop" from the title was linked: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ Funny  |

Actually, I can quite readily believe it. A nice opportunity to formally bitch about Kojika. |

Just for the record, Clannad is not an eroge. You could correctly refer to Clannad as a bishoujo game, or a galge, or a nakige, or even a "date sim". But there are no "adult" scenes in Clannad. Not in the PC version (rated "all ages") and not in the PS2 version (rated "15+"). So anyone expecting erotic adventures while playing Clannad is going to be sorely disappointed. |

| Personally, I don't care how many shows you cover. It's going to be at least 2 years before they hit our shores anyway. | ||||

Bah same difference especially within the context of the argument. Only the nerds that actually play those games actually care about the difference <.< |

I could probably pay off my house note if I got a dollar for every comment I have heard or read over the past couple of years that boiled down to: "I ain't gonna watch that anime 'because its from one of them porno nudie games whats got nekkid moe-wimmen or lolis in it." So shouldn't the knowledge that Clannad does not come from that kind or source material be important to those people?  Regardless, the fact is that labels carry with them certain postive or negative connotations, and they do matter. Wolves and poodles are both canines, but they are hardly equivalent. |

That has nothing to do with the actual show/game and more to do with the fact that those people are naive >.> Anyone with half a brain knows that most H game adaptations have no sex in them. If they don't they've been spending too much time watching naruto or the like and aren't that likely to branch out in the first place <., |

Most H games have no story worth adapting into porn-free version and get straight up hentai releases with all the hardcore sex included. I could be wrong, but I think a lot, if not the majority, of hentai these days are based on H games. We are getting more and more porn-free eroge adaptations, but I think they are still in the minority. Someone with more knowledge of hentai and their origins/adaptations feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. |

| Fine lets nit pick some more. You all know exactly what I'm talking about. Popular broadcasted stuff (the kind of shows that end up in series discussions and listed on season lists along with big titles) generally have no sex beyond the occasional innuendo. | ||||

I did understand what you were talking about, in that the inclusion or exclusion of sex in the original game doesn't really change the genre, but now it seems your only purpose in your last couple of posts is that you don't want to admit an insignificant technical error. Also, the statement that such adaptations "generally have no sex" allows for the exceptions that at least one (School Days) does have sex in it, making the destinction between an eroge and something else not entirely moot. |

It's the fact that it's an insignificant technical error that it annoys that they would have to focus on it like that <.<Why>.<;; And those are what? pg-13 at best? I mean geez to begin with it's not like one or two popular broadcasted shows a season with sex scenes in them make it a rampent occurrence. Not to mention that plenty of series that aren't H-games have sex in them too. To begin with the fact that it's not an absolute that h-game adaption will have sex in it pretty much makes the distinction between the different source materials irrelevant either way <.< |
