It was around three years ago…
I was visiting a friend and I saw an Angel Beats wallpaper on his pc while he was listening to My Soul - Your Beats. He was only a few episodes in and all he could tell was that there was a Haruhi clone in there. Interested in many ways (eh? a high school girl with a gun?), I started watching Angel Beats. I was mesmerized. This amount of intense drama was absolutely new to me.
Many months later, when listening to Angel Beats songs on YouTube, I’ve noticed that it was compared to something called ‘Clannad’ a lot. So I got some info on Clannad and watched it. Season 1 was kinda nice but it didn’t give me what I was looking forward to, namely Angel Beats-level feels. After Story blew my mind.
So I did some research on the connection between Clannad and AB and found out that they were created by Key. I proceeded to watching other Key works, those being Kanon and Air. Shortly after that, I started playing my first VN: Clannad. Kanon followed. The next on the list would’ve been Little Busters, but the description kinda made me hesitant. Just a few days later, the first episode of Little Busters aired. I grabbed the LB VN and started playing it. Refrain was the first, and only work of fiction up to date that make me shed tears. The Little Busters VN also became my new favorite game, replacing my formerly favorite game that held its position for 7 years.
Next up was Rewrite and lastly, Planetarian.
