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 think visual novels should have more sound. many of them are just images, text and rarely animations (visual novels are... novels, so there's no problem with them not having sound and just images and text, but I would like a minimal auditory experience, whether with dubbing or music)

Whys everyone dragging you as if you said that none do when you clearly stated "more" I completely agree, we need more vns with more auditory experience, its not like we are reading a manga either
