No, not prejudice. It was just something I remember reading on Key's BBS. This poster conducted a small poll about the whole adult vs non-adult and as you can see, some ppl aren't pleased this is an all-age game:

Was it Circus's Sukumizu fetchi ni narumon? Circus is a bit well known.

Blah. Remember the thread on MT. I, as well, wasn't too thrilled about "Clannad" PC being all-aged, because the adult part would have been the only stuff justifying its price and buying it over waiting for the console port. Remember as well that Key lowered the MSRP quite quickly then, proof that perhaps our complaints were justified enough... [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Pin-pon! Yeah, circus of "Suika" and "D.C." fame (though that was an easy one. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img])

Will my 866MHz already upgrade to 383MBRAM, RADEON video card. Anyway, my cpu is just not enought to get the 1.500MHz. Anyway, this game is only two chracters, so far I seen the web sites. Will more likely I need more information. Opening Demo is alright but, I need more information.

Hmm animated games are fun to watch. Characters design are not my style but, If story line is OK maybe I might get it. Will this game going to be long game.

You certainly aren't talking about me, right? RIGHT? [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/eek.gif[/img]

Consider I am not that good a writer. I doubt any review with my name on it would help anyone much. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

However, I would be more than happy to write a short "after-playing-feeling" post if needed <- as in many people are interested in it, which I doubt is the case here. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Review is not hard as usual. If you can understand and write paragraph very will you can write good review. For me, English is the second language so I'm not good with paragraph.
Anyway, I surch the game that look ok on the illusion http://www.illusion.co.jp

Yes! It came, it came in the mail! I’m finally losing my Japanese B-game virginity with Utawareru Mono! ^^ Okay, brace yourselves for intense newbe statement: I really love the box! It actually has a full game box with a DVD case for the game disc inside. And a full color instruction manual! Ah, what a day. And the opening scene was an anime scene that looked so good! Why did they make To Heart and Comic Party into full non-H anime but not this!? Not fair! What other Japanese games have fully animated scenes? I’m not talking about Ecchi na Bunny-san wa Kirai? 2’s “animated” scenes either. Real animation. ^^ Thanks guys!

OHHHHH? You finally lost your virginity? Sooo...How did it feel? What did she...
Oh...Wait... You are talking about Japanese B-games....oops... my mistake [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

Maybe when Utawareru Mono become as popular as To Heart and Comic Party, they will make an anime based on this game. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I know there are quite a few (more and more nowadays) but...can't think of any now... hmmm...

So was To Heart a manga first then a game then an anime? I never knew it was a game thought it was only the manga to anime route?

Funny... as far i know, TO HEART was an Adult-bishojo game first (1997), then a Non-adult version for console. The anime series came on 1999. When the manga was published?

#56

Yes, To Heart was an H PC game first. I know that the manga and anime are both adaptations from the game but I don’t know which one was first.

#57

Couple of others:
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito -or yamibou
Bottle fairy
I believe Popotan was also. last year had a ton of games → anime titles

#58

Okay maybe I was mistaken but I thought the usual route was almost always manga then anime regardless of it being a game before the manga?

How many of those that have been listed either have been or do you think will either have a dub or sub DVD eventually in R1?

#59

That may be the usual route - manga to anime, I mean - but it isn’t the only route. Most b-game anime bypasses the manga phase, at least that I know of; there are also some anime created that are not based off any manga. Haibane Renmei comes to mind, for instance.
