@ Zura~ You're not alone. I mentioned it because it is a wide misconception amongst people who have never played visual novels in general. It's like how people interchange "BL" and "yaoi," assuming they are the same term.

@ Persona~ Just like how we love our bishounens, BL/yaoi stories are filled with attractive men. Some BL game artists are flipping INCREDIBLE. (Though yaoi mangaka tend to all draw in such similar ways... Like the peanut jaws that bother me in MSP and NL. Then they often have some craaaazy anatomy. Those enormous hands and tiny heads on broad shoulders. It's hilarious.) And BL VN writers are honestly often rather skilled and create complex themes that otome games sometimes lack. You cannot undermine the doujin community. But there are always lame story writers, regardless of preference.

Although I have read some hardcore yaoi manga and BL/yaoi VNs, I am not really that into the genre. And yaoi anime seared my brain so badly. Never again. e___e But there are the people who love the semes and ukes to fulfill their mature sadistic or masochistic fantasies. In many stories, you can replace the MC male with a female, and the romance is almost exactly the same... Just that yaoi will obviously have that male anatomy action.

Some of my gay, bi, and trans friends are rather offended by the themes in yaoi things, and one of them creates his own BL manga because he wants something that is not the same drivel he has seen before.

And the OTPs people have~


Yes. :offtopic:  Rather off topic, but it'll get back on topic afterwards.

@Persona
I always regarded that there is a big hype as a lot of the times the guys are very good looking. And ho and behold they got a fan group...
I'm not in that genre as when I actually tried to read and watch them, I got really awkward and well looked away. I find half the time the stories for them are a little bit far fetched.
So in my opinion the hope for them is that they are all good looking...And really there is like no females or even hardly any females in the stories so really all your looking at all the time is men.

^^ There is a reason why its been tagged with the genre 'Tragedy' .... And you find that out in the second season.... If you don't mind that, by all means....

Oh and I started watching Diabolik Lovers and one of the guys calls her 'Little Bi*** I'm sorry but that needs to be corrected to LUCKY bi*** *cough* and really I think my new rage is guys with Green eyes

And now I shall sulk because there isn't a translation to that game and sulk even more when my gran actually doesn't have that game............The world hates me....

there's a blog that posted about DiaLovers and they're not exactly the trans but they posted every character's story (gist) plus reactions lol they're hilarious still looking for a more detailed trans creys. I think I saw an english patch before but not sure

the plot's basically twisted so I guess it doesn't appeal to a lot of ppl. am I too weird or smth bcs I actually like DiaLovers /hides
the anime wasn't as good tho bcs the focus on the characters weren't even (???) but the art
and you wouldn't really get much from a 15minute episode so I had to look it up to find out what really happened to Cordelia etc

ahh well i played through all the triplets' routes on diabolik and still am a bit confused what happened to cordelia, ahaha. but i actually like it too, although i haven't seen the anime, i agree the plot is kind of wtf but the character design and the art is AMAZING. also the blood sucking sounds,are epic sexy!!! omg it's like watching a pg-rated porno or something, except raito's which are totally  

on a completely different topic, jyuzaengi engetsu sangokuden is getting an anime apparently and i'm all like ~(???)/~ it's like the sangoku version of hakuouki with a 10000x more kickass herione and cat ears. i can't wait for it to come out ~(???)/ (???)/~

[Aiwethryne]

;www; Sucking noises really just terrify me into laughter. It's like ear f************ing sounds.

And OMG Jyuzaengi Engetsu Sangokuden is so pretty~~ Idea Factory sure likes to push these things. I vaguely remember reading the general summary a couple of years ago, so having an anime would be nice.

[bad_baby]

^yea i think the point is to be suggestive. the sucking & kissing sounds are almost identical and half the time i'm just sitting there like, WHAT JUST HAPPENED. at least the mc seems to be enjoy it.

idea factory's games are SO pretty, omg also the way otomate's games are set up it's like the characters personalities are idealized to match with the outside. unlike rejet's toootally @#$%ed up characters, and aromarie's tootally @#$%ed up storylines, lol.

[Kouryuu]

-add bookmark to thread- I am soo keeping this.
However, I wish for the games to be released in English. Why? >_< It isn't the same watching the anime....

[Vixey]

Yeah, I got excited when I saw this list, and thought it would be so great to play an otome game and then watch the anime adaptation after with all the handsome guys I had gotten to know come to life, but all of these seem to be for japanese only games :(

[Aiwethryne]

Oh, right. I need to update this. It's laughable how much I need to update. *glances around for help*

[Lilwyn]

Oh, right. I need to update this. It's laughable how much I need to update. *glances around for help*

heh i added Kamigami no asobi to the list...not sure if there has been any other new anime release.(goes off to look)

[Aiwethryne]

Sometimes people talk about new releases here. Ah, I need to catch up with everyone there.

It's easiest to go to some anime site and check the reverse harem tag.

[Lilwyn]

yeah there hasn't been any new ones...at least from what i saw.
only ones not on the list are the bl ones.

there is one called VitaminX Addiction though i didn't really look into that one just heard about it.

[Aiwethryne]

There's this for Norn9. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-03-02/otomate-norn9-game-for-female-players-gets-anime The list here is not only for the anime already released, so it takes a little bit of hunting if you don't stalk anime news sites for upcoming material.

[Sakuragawa]

Whoa,

Spoiler  Hidden:

"In the game, the player can choose between three different girls as the heroine, each with their own three male characters to romance. A certain song transports a boy named Sorata Suzuhara to a different era and place.
 When Sorata regains consciousness, he finds himself standing in an unfamiliar place — an old town, awash with sepia tones. The scene is exactly like the Meiji and Taishō-era pictures he had seen in textbooks. He encounters three girls and nine young men in this world, and embarks on a journey in the skies with them and the giant Norn airship."

Is that what happens in the game or the plot for the anime? Cuz it sounds like the MC is male and should be romancing the three girls but they each have three guys to choose from? Wut?  There are 9 dudes on the game's cover. 


Haven't heard of this anime or maybe I don't remember but the casting is good. I'd watch it for the voices: Kaji Yuuki, Sugita Tomokazu, Saiga Mitsuki, Yusa Koji, Yoshino Hiroyuki, Sugiyama Noriaki, etc. 

[Aiwethryne]

When it comes to the seiyuu, I have no idea who anyone is~ Never been that interested in knowing the names of voice actors and only happen to find out if I see people talking about them all the time. But I prefer that I do not know the cast because I will end up comparing every character the people voice as, though it is tempting to look them up.

Anyway, I am guessing that the anime will not be so... complex? Not that I'd know for sure. Like usual with anime versions of these games, they'll probably show references to almost every route. Maybe show poses from the CGs. However, I wonder how they will exactly centralize things in an X amount of episodes.
