Which is precisely why I think what I said above would have been better.
[QUOTE=Mr. Zombie;39786791][sp]I just feel like the dad's death thing was shoehorned in. It's like yeah yeah popular girl cliche sex yadda yadda OH WAIT. THERES SUPPOSED TO BE DRAMA. QUICKLY, SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HER DAD[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]She never came off as popular to me, just upbeat and mischievous (hanging around the roof with the weirdest girl in school just doesn't spell 'popular' to me at least). The drama "twist" being completely predictable and Hisao being a knobhead was definitely two points against the arc, but Emi's change in emotion served the story exceptionally well in my opinion. Her normally happy-go-lucky appearance made the sadder parts of the narrative all the more impacting because of the stark contrast.[/sp]

Agreed on the sillyness, but that's part of my point: [sp]The sillyness and light-heartedness of most scenes makes the downer scenes more heavy; when she is cheerful and upbeat almost to a fault even in the face of such sillyness as that epic sex act it makes her sadness all the more meaningful. Tragedy is the most memorable in stories that are otherwise littered with optimism. I will certainly agree however that the subject of the tragedy itself could've been handled a thousand miles better.[/sp]

[sp]The same thing can be said about Misha in the Shizune route[/sp]
[QUOTE=Rammlied;39787644][sp]The same thing can be said about Misha in the Shizune route[/sp][/QUOTE]
The drama yes, but i think the whole Misha dealio was done fairly well.
For example, in the act 2 animation: [sp]I'm sure we all thought that the problem was the fact that Misha liked Hisao as well, right?[/sp]
There are several moment your second time round that you suddenly get.
I think there could have been a Misha route where it ends in act 2 or 3 rather than going on for 4 acts, and only had a bad end. Even if Misha is love-struck for Shizune, she's confused enough for it would be possible for her to have fallen for Hisao. There's no way it could end well, though.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;39786705][sp]Yeah, her father being dead was pretty damned obvious. People got sad when he was mentioned, she cries out for him in her tear-filled nightmares, and people say "she lost more than her legs in that accident". C'mon Hisao, where's that deductive reasoning science nerds are supposed to have?[/sp][/QUOTE]
...Holy crap, I just had an epiphany!
The reason he's so stupid on her route, is because she LITERALLY fucked his brains out!

And then that transfers over to Rin's route.

Rin fucked his brains out by brain-fucking him.
There was no lube of any flavor for Hisao's brain-anus (or "brainus" if you will).

That's probably the most elegant way you could say something like this to someone.

Still my all-time favorite Rin quote. Sorry, "pants problem".

That could be his friends, and that's why he looks so distraught.

I personally didn't get any "feels" through any of the routes, but Rin's neutral end came REALLY god-damn close. You'll enjoy it either way though, she's a neat character.

I think I might be going to hell for laughing at those last two.
It never ceases to amaze me that people are still talking about this visual novel.
There's over 1000 KS threads on 4chan
there have been more threads about KS than there have been days since it's release
[QUOTE=cheetahben;39811580]It never ceases to amaze me that people are still talking about this visual novel.[/QUOTE]
It's controversial, which makes it fun to talk about.
It's well written, which makes it fun to overall discuss.
It's lengthy, which gives a lot to talk about.
At least, that's how I figure it.

Sounded a lot better in my head actually.
