  1. What are your favorite otome game/anime openings?

    For otome: 7scarlet: World's End Syndrome Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome: self-titled (someone recommended this to me and started playing recently. the opening is not at all my usual speed, but it's super cute and perpetually stuck in my head 😭) For anime, I tend to like ones that are older...
  2. Generation Gaps & Culture Shocks

    I kind of miss the community as well, but sending money for tapes into the void and crossing your fingers and hoping that whoever you were trading with was legit? :LOL: That I do not miss at all. Or finding that one person who had the last 2 episodes of a series you were obsessed with and then...
  3. Generation Gaps & Culture Shocks

    Mid-forties, and I know a few gamers in their fifties and sixties. You're still baby. I was there for WEBRINGS. :LOL: Hell, I used to get my illegal fansubs mailed to me on VHS. I used to have multiple VCRs set up so I could watch anime on one while simultaneously playing/recording on two...
  4. [Discussion] Fan Translating Manga/Manhwa & Otome Audio CDs — Share Your Experience, Workflow & Challenges!

    I did a little bit of editing for a scanlation team 20+ years ago. Some days it feels like sound effects are a lost art. :whistle: I've honestly been debating with myself recently about tackling an CD or a game... technology has come a LONG was since I last did it, and I think it would be a fun...
  5. In BL games, do you prefer top MC, bottom MC or Switch MC ?

    I like versatility in my games, so I prefer a switch. If I can't have switching, I'll go for bottom, then top. I mean, realistically, I just want all the sex. Not sure if anyone here has mentioned it, but BLits has a game in development called Seven Nexus. At this point, I think there are 5...
  6. t seems like BL games are gradually disappearing

    :fulfilled: Thank you for reading. Being kind of old and having lived through it, I have an abundance of thoughts about development of the BL community over the years, and most of my BL friends IRL don't have much interest in the gaming aspect of the fandom. I tend to get a little excited to...
  7. The romance in RPG games eg: Baldurs Gate 3, dragon origins

    I don't necessarily think that I would qualify the romance in Baldur's Gate - or any of the other franchise/games like Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Fallout, Cyberpunk 2077, etc - as specifically just for women (although the direction is definitely more inclusive, and women are a part of that). I...
  8. Give me your best 18+ game recommendations (otome, specifically, because I've probably played all the BL ones already)

    👀 I have no idea if I'll like it or not, but I can say with absolute certainty that I am DEFINITELY interested.
  9. What's the game you're waiting for the most?

    I am honestly DESPERATE for this game.
  10. A naive otome protagonist

    I think that's intentional a lot of times, making the MC an empty book - the devs want you to be able to project onto the character, fill in those pages with parts of yourself, so they don't write strong personality traits that might take away from that. I don't insert myself into games, so I...
  11. Give me your best 18+ game recommendations (otome, specifically, because I've probably played all the BL ones already)

    I'll bump Torikago no Marriage up on my list. I find unconventional is usually the most interesting. And thanks so much for the other 3 recs as well! Regrading Heart Cage - I think there were one or two voices that threw me off in the beginning, but they grew on me after a while. I'm honestly...
  12. Huge Otome Sale, are you buying?

    I generally only pirate games that are in Japanese - if it's been localized or was created by an English-speaking company, I'll save up and buy it on PC. Partly because I really can't afford to spend between $30 and $60 on a game in a language I can't even read without assistance, and partly...
  13. Give me your best 18+ game recommendations (otome, specifically, because I've probably played all the BL ones already)

    Thank you so much for the recs! Based on the artwork alone, these two stood out to me, and I'll have to look them up when I've got a little more time on my hands. Story-wise, are there any that really stood out to you, or do you recommend all of them equally? I will never say no to a good rec...
  14. Give me your best 18+ game recommendations (otome, specifically, because I've probably played all the BL ones already)

    The title says it all. I am an avid BL gamer, although I play otome games as well if they suit my tastes. I'm looking for some spicy, 18+ recommendations. If it's a BL game, I've probably already played it... but I honestly can't think of many 18+ otome games, so please, pick out your favorites...
  15. Buying Otome/BL CDs

    More now than I used to, because DLsite is super convenient and easy to access. Getting access to content 20 years ago was a lot trickier. Sometimes it's a matter of something going on sale. Sometimes it's finding a CD that I really like and wanting to support the creator. Sometimes it's just...
  16. What would you think of otome games without the option to change the MC's name?

    Doesn't bother me in the least. I think the distinction is, I don't see myself as the main character when I play a game. No self-inserting for me or anything like that. But I DO try to play games as if I was the MC in the sense of making choices that are consistent with the character, as they're...
  17. Where Did You Find Anime-Sharing Forums From, and What Made You Want to Join?

    I only found this space recently. I'm more into the BL scene, and I've seen anime-sharing mentioned on the two forums I use for BL. They did say that this space is primarily otome, but there are people who talk BL as well. Since I also like otome (although not as much as BL), I figured I'd give...
  18. Wonder if…

    A Date with Death is one of my favorite. There's just the one LI, but he's so damned ADORABLE.... I'm also a fan of being able to customize gender, although I know some people don't like it and it's tricky to make sure it's done well. BUT! For the instances it is done well ( for example, those...
  19. Does anyone else get annoyed when your choices don't actually matter?

    VERY MUCH SO. I much prefer when my choices matter. I think the worst experience is when you go through a game and pick choices that, let's say end you up in a bad situation. Like your character gets kidnapped because they ended up at a certain place or trusted a certain person. Then, in the...
  20. Looking for recommendations for a beginner!

    I know you said you were open to anything, but a couple of questions to hopefully get a better idea of what you might enjoy: If you're newer to the scene, I'm guessing you're looking for games that are either localized into English or were made in English? Games that don't play unless you...
