Anime and VN enthusiast who enjoys a wide variety of genres. Love romance/drama, dislike shounen. Very very picky about mystery/thriller. Feel free to make any anime and vn recommendations.
Lol, is it that guy who made numerous false claims about fate/zero in roricon's video? When Lei pointed out his erroneous remarks, he continued to act like a prick and ridiculed his grammar, feigning ignorance on the arguments presented to him. I felt inclined to jump in after seeing such an inane response. :p
Yeah, I'm aware those aforementioned works have very different feels as a whole. But, like you deduced, I was mainly talking about the overall structure in the final pairings. WA2 isn't quite the same in that aspect.
P.S. Lei absolutely detested the WA2 anime, lol. He's one of those guys who found the protagonist revolting.
I've seen a few. There's true tears, rumbling hearts, sakurasou, toradora, and muvluv. All of them ultimately had the protagonist choose a girl, resulting in a happy ending (for the protagonist). WA2? Not so much.
Then again, I've only seen the IC anime adaptation; the CC's ending is probably more bright for the protagonist.
Sounds like a plan. The protagonist may be kind of a douche, but he's also not entirely hatable. You will likely question some of his choices, though. That being said, I do think of WA2 as a great work, because it doesn't follow the standard love triangle/romance formula we see in most other works. The ending may not appeal to everyone, but it's arguably, logically sound.
=p. Golden Time takes a while before gaining momentum, so you may want to stick around a bit longer. I personally like the characters and how they have been developing. It's not as good as Toradora yet, but I found the college setting to be a breath of fresh air in the romance genre.
WA2 has some really good character-writing, but it's definitely not for everyone. If you can't stomach an aggravating protagonist, then you might not like it. Not sure how many anime viewers read the VN relying on translators. I don't believe many would want to go to such lengths, but I could be mistaken.
I don't know, man. Both are essentially great for me. WA2 is probably objectively better, while GT is subjectively more fulfilling. I'd say go with WA2 for now since it has already finished airing.
Nice Ever 17 review, lol. After completing the visual novel myself, I can certainly agree that it would be near impossible for any other medium renditions to truly capture the original source's brilliance. Though, perhaps a 24-26 episode anime adaptation by White Fox might be somewhat successful, since they did do an amazing job with Steins;Gate.
Well, for one thing, characters almost always behave consistently and logically in Sharin. In G-Senjou, there were a couple moments when I questioned certain characters' decisions; in Sharin, I found none of that stuff. This has a lot to do with the dystopian world mechanics of Sharin, which enforces absolute laws on its citizens, making them more conscious of their actions. Another thing I liked more in Sharin is that chapters feel more connected to one another due to the way the story is structured. Long story short, I thought the writing in Sharin was better due to a more consistent characterization, as well as a stronger connection from one chapter to the next [plot wise]. But I still rated it lower than G-Senjou because not every chapter was highly enjoyable, as nicely written as they were.
Oh, I might try it after it finishes airing. I'm already following too many shows as it is, lol. Monogatari is my favorite show this season, btw. You should resume Bakemonogatari when you have the time to. (Don't mind Lei's opinion. He's a silly person. =p).
Yup, the first three chapters were average to decent, but the last two were awesome. I think the story is better written compared to G-Senjou's, though. At least, I couldn't detect any major faults with the writing. The enjoyment factor, however, was not quite as high as G-Senjou's. Still a very good read nonetheless.
The original was fully subbed a year ago, can't remember by whom. Flash is the family version, it is very tamed. The original is far more dark, violent, and depressing.

You should try Golden Time and White Album 2 if you're in the mood for some nice romance/drama.
