If you play the VN, can you choose an ending that doesn't end with a double homicide and a head in a bag?
Zachary Cooper
I've watched someone else play the game and, yeah, you can.

>Play the game, just fap to the extracted videos, or watch the anime? All 3. At the same time
Nolan Anderson
You can even manage to get both Kotonoha and Sekai as a good end actually, where both are actually happy since Makoto gives them equal attention and love.
Josiah Gray
in this path only one wrong click leads to disaster
David Nguyen
Reminder that on the school festival either Kotonoha is the first one that beats the D or he had a small quickshot wiener
James Young
Most of the endings are good endings
Leo Morris
watch the anime then play the VN
Aaron Powell
there are 21 endings, and you can have a threesome ending in one of them.

i mean 22 >4 Bad Endings >5 Sekai Endings >7 Kotonoha Endings >1 Setsuna Ending >2 Hikari Endings >1 Otome Ending >2 Harem Endings

>You can even manage to get both Kotonoha and Sekai as a good end Are you implying that the anime is just an ad for the VN?
>why didn't anyone produce a video version of any of the 22 "runs"? Maybe because it's just too fucking long and convoluted. There's also too many choices, and one wrong choice leads you to a different path.
Nolan Campbell
>Setsuna ending Dafuq?
Caleb Morris
>visual novel is mostly video Is this true? Are there more VNs that is like this?
It's really quite different. The game is a simple dating sim eroge, but it became notorious for it's having failure states an an ability to make disastrous choices that ended with many characters killed but the player really has to screw up for that and do very strange things — the game became unexpectedly known and notorious for this even though the original point was to avoid these endings and there aren't that many, like only three or four that actually end that way.
So, the two adaptations that were made took inspiration from the bad endings and bad decisions — both wrote their own story but in the spirit of the bad decisions and endings the players could make.
So the t.v. series is really just Makoto making all the bad decisions culminating into a bad ending.
But it's surprisingly good in how the narrative plays out and how human his bad decisions seem. He's not a complete fool, or evil, but he's simply afraid to break up properly with his lover and hurting the latter, and he misses some things here and there that throws some people over the edge.
The bad endings of the game aren't as good, because they do feel quite ridiculous — to unlock them one really has to pick the worst of the worst options repeatedly that feel like they're terrible choices.
