Introduce Yourself!

Hey everyone, I’m Cylindrical Cynic, a resident of southern California. My first Key work was in 2011, when I watched Angel Beats!, but Clannad was the one that caught me in the rest of the studio’s projects. I’ve seen all the animated offerings from Clannad and chronologically onwards, and read the same range of VN’s, not including side stories and spin-offs. My favorite out of all of them would have to be Little Busters! for its tale of friendship and connections. Apart from Key, I’m an all-around otaku, having played a variety of visual novels and JRPGs. Something interesting? I tried to write down a translation for Saga Planets’ Hanasaki Work Spring!, but ended up stopping after 20 pages or so (may return to it at some point).

Edit: Thanks to @Pepe for the help!

Cool, man! Nice to meet you! What non-Key VNs have you played? I’ve played both If My Heart had Wings and Steins Gate.

The most notable ones that I can recall would be Steins;Gate, ef - a fairy tale of the two, and Fate/Stay Night. I’ll admit that I haven’t read through If My Heart Had Wings yet.

Interesting. I’d really like to play Ef and FSN sometimes. What would you say is your favorite visual novel?

Hi there, @cylindridalcynic. Now I’m going to ask about the other range of the spectrum you mentioned, which JRPGs have you played? (Or just write that in the General Gaming Discussion , if that would be a lengthier answer)

Hello everyone! My name is Liam, AKA XBakaTacoX, Baka or Taco! I live in Australia, land of spiders and snakes and of course, I am a guy.

Ahha, I’ve played through Little Busters (and Refrain), AIR, Clannad (and After Story) and I’m currently reading through Rewrite though it’s on a hiatus. I’ve watched all of the anime available, including the new Rewrite!

My all time favourite has always been Little Busters simply because it grew so very much on me and I fell in love with it. It wasn’t my first, however, that belongs to AIR.

Now, I actually found Kazamatsuri because the owner, Ben, more commonly known as Aspirety, was at the Madman Anime Festival and was wearing some Little Busters merchandise, being the jacket, and holding a bag, both of which were awesome and since I had never seen my favourite anime and VN been displayed EVER, I was extremely happy and absolutely had to say hello and congratulated him for being awesome. Then, much to my surprise, he handed me a card with a website which he owned and thus… Here I am. I couldn’t possibly deny that I was guaranteed to join as soon as I got home. I just want to thank Aspirety for both being awesome and handing me that card. Without it, I would never have found this lovely community. Thank you, Ben. Thank you.

Some other interests eh? Anime, and manga of course, nothing tops them. Haha, but I do enjoy drawing, music and story creation as “the creativity is high in this one”. In fact, I have a piano channel on YouTube which has highly irregular uploads, but please do make requests! xXAnimeMusicXx is the name~ something interesting about me… I’m pretty kind, always looking to make new friends and will happily talk to anyone who’s interested. So if you want to talk, please, please don’t hesitate to do so, I promise you won’t regret it. (^O^)/

(Please tell me if I’m doing anything incorrectly, I’m brand new!)

Nani sore, imi wakannai…?

It’s very nice to meet you, @XBakaTacoX. I can say Little Busters! also grew on me too and joining Kazamatsuri is one of the best communities I’ve enjoyed so much. I like the introduction you mentioned on how you met @Aspirety through that festival. That’s a surefire way on how to get to know about Kazamatsuri by using business cards. I hope you enjoy being here with us at Kazamatsuri too. I can’t say enough on how we would love to have you making good discussions and presenting your thoughts to us. I definitely like to become friends with you cause I think will get along just fine. :smile:

@XBakaTacoX Ohh, you made it! This is the first time I’ve managed to recruit someone to Kazamatsuri at a con before so I’m a bit chuffed. Welcome, I’m sure you’ll fit in great here!

And welcome also to @cylindricalcynic!

Oh, have you given Fate/Hollow Ataraxia a try yet? It’s a sequel vn to F/SN and it’s really enjoyable! Lots of daily life segments mixed with darker nighttime action ones. The Fate franchise is pretty fun!

Heyyy I’m Ome and I don’t? know how to introduce myself but here goes. I got into Key after reading Little Busters and I’ve read through most of their works by now. Out of all the VNs Rewrite is the dearest to my heart because it’s the only one I went into completely blind and boy was it a trip. I draw sometimes.

I got here through twitter memes and I haven’t used a forum for anything ever since circa 2009, so please be gentle with me LAUGHS

Hmm, let’s see…

You told us your name, check.
You told something about yourself, check.
You even told how you got here, check.

I’d say you just introduced yourself.

Achievement unlocked: Learned how to introduce yourself. :wink:

So a warm welcome to you, Ome, may you have fun and get lots of nice memories with us. And honestly, reading some of these introductions, it seems everyone feels a bit awkward at first, it is a new place after all, but I think a lot of people felt at home here pretty quickly. At least that’s how I see it.

Thank you both for being so welcoming!

It’s nice to meet you and have you with us here, @Bazett. TBH, Little Busters! is one of my favorite works and it stills remains as one of my best VNs I’ve ever played. I hope you’ll have fun and joining us in many topics and discussions we have here. Forums are usually interesting places to express your thoughts and opinions that can be overall very fun to have. Anyway, welcome aboard! :smile:

Hey welcome to the forum @Jaskills . Rewrite was my first Key VN and still is my favorite so far, I’ve also played Little Busters, so I recommend trying that if you decide to play another.
