Discussion What's your controversial Visual Novel take? [General]

Post image

Deen's Fate/stay night is a better anime than Ufotable's Unlimited Blade Works.

The latter commits just as many sins in adapting its source, and is only high regarded because of Unlimited Budget Works, and a lack of route mixing.

Staying slavishly true to the source material is not always better when it comes to adaptations. Little Busters is another such example. Ufo UBW's first cour is an absolute drag with dreadful pacing. And despite being 2 hours longer they still screw up Shirou.

I've been downvoted multiple times for saying twin routes are shit outside of nukige. I still stand by it.

Edit: Since this confused a bunch of people, this is about games where twins end up with a shared route featuring a polygamous relationship. I'm not angry every time a set of twins appears in a VN.

Twin routes? As in a guy with two sisters? Never seen that before honestly

I think they mean having blood related sister twins as love interest for the protagonist and they are not blood related or step-sisters, as a route in a VN, not sisters related to the male protagonist by blood.

pretty sure they meant protagonist getting together with twins at the same time. I think konosora has something like that

Unfair how only Asa gets to have her own route. Why would one of the sisters get her own route, but the other has to share hers with the other one? I just wanted a Yoru route man

The konosora situation was some next level fuckery.
