Since a long time ago, I’ve played the majority of hentai games (or eroge to some). From 3 Sisters Story, Clannad & Tsukihime to
Let’s Meow Meow & Come See Me Tonight. However I’ve also come to the conclusion that these games have alot in common with anime
series which they are based on as well as other anime series which they have nothing to do with.
Perhaps I am reading too much into this, however I’ve looked at it in many different ways over the years of playing & watching
them. Or for that matter we (as being westerners) choose to think that the japanese are ‘happy’ with the majority of the games &
series ending with the classics ‘Bad Ending’ of all of these or just going for the natural ‘True Ending’ which is usually also
another way of saying ‘Not a bad ending, but not a good ending either so your screwed either way’.
Personally I was touched by the ‘True Ending’ of Tsukihime, however since they used it in the Lunar Legend Tsukihime anime I was
rather disappointed that they chose this ending to finish the series, after all Type-Moon would of been able to used this as a
franchise (aka: Melty Blood titles &/or Tsukihime/Kagetsu Tohya) but chose close the book on being able to use the cast again in
a sequel to ‘LLT’ which started to annoy me after a while of watching the series then playing the games then re-watching the
series. Personally I think that they have milked the cow, but why change what works ? They did that with Fate/Stay Night after
Tsukihime took off as being one of the fastest selling Comiket games out there.
It’s does however come down to this, the customer or eroge fanatic which goes and buys these sorts of games.
I still think this post isn’t complete as yet, however the truth will be told sooner or later once more research is done about these sorta of games & animes are watched, learned from & archived away for the masses.
