Hello every body ,Iā€™m a huge key fan(especially clannad) from Taiwan ,anybody knows this country here? XD. Because english is not my native language,forgive me if there are some strange words in my comment.
I knew KEY first time through AIR anime (just started to watch anime that time),although it is very enjoyable,but not good enough to push me into keyā€™s world,so as KANON 2006.Everything changed when CLANNAD came to my life,the story of FUKO and KOTOMI already hooked me so much ,so I dicided to play the VN before AFTER STORY aired(thank for the chinese translation staff),and then it has become my favorite work until now. From then on I have watched all KEY related anime ,and read AIR LITTLE BUSTERS, PLANETARIAN ,REWRITE,AND JUN MAEDA related work ONE and MOON.I found here because I always like to search discussion of KEYā€™s work when I have free time,and this site usually showed in the first page of google,recently I decide to join this big dango family.According to my observation these years,it seems that AIR is not very loved in the western world ,but it is very high-praised ,the same level with LITTLE BUSTERS or even CLANNAD in chinese world,this is really interesting I think XD.I also found there are so many LITTLE BUSTERS fans think the anime is bad ,which in my opinion is a good adaptation though.it always make me curious.If you donā€™t mind I want to know your thought ,like which point you think the adaptation is bad,thanks.
speaking of my interest besides KEY ,I am a simple otaku guy ,I like to watch anime ,read manga and light novel ,I used to read VN before ,but recent years I havenā€™t put too much passion in it.
Anyway, hope to have nice chatting with everybody here.

Thatā€™s pretty cool, I havenā€™t heard of too many people who saw the first season then read the VN becuase the second season wasnā€™t out yet (You hear this a lot about manga and LN but not VNs).

Yeah I think the anime did about as well as it could have given the nature of the source material. Speaking of which I have a post about that Iā€™ve been meaning to make for a whileā€¦

Hope to see you around!

Hi, fellow Taiwanese here.
So great to see Kazamatsuri slowly taking over the world :slight_smile:
( I say Kaza because I know there are a lot of Key fans in Taiwan, but they generally donā€™t use English).
Iā€™m a relatively new user too, but I can tell you that Kazamatsuri is a much better place to be than other forums if you want to discuss Key-related stuff.
Hope to see you in the discussions!

@Arete , thank for your reply ,I always wanted to read VN before but CLANNAD is the one which really put me into the world,and I think the storyline of LITTLE BUSTERS anime is pretty excellent considering its medium format.

@Nav happy there are other taiwanese here,actually I think itā€™s more convenient to discuss KEY in chinese world, in TEIBA or ptt(a taiwan forum) there are always A LOT OF KEY fans willing to discuss about KEY,but it is nice to see people discuss KEY by other language ,here is a place full of fansā€™s love XDD. I have learned japanese before so I also browse japanese discussion sometimes ,I even want to learn spanish just want to see peopleā€™s discussion there XDD .

Welcome to the family @blaze520! Iā€™m sure youā€™ll fit in here nicely!

I think a big issue with AIR is that it only received an English translation around 3-4 years ago, and up until then most English-speakers had only been able to watch the anime. But I 100% agree with you that AIR is one of Keyā€™s great VNs. I rank it under Little Busters but above CLANNAD personally, but I know AIR is a bit more divisive than most VNs. Itā€™s bold and experimental, and I love how it tried to be different to Kanon. You should definitely check out our AIR Bookclub sometime, we got a lot of awesome discussion happening for it.

If you want to talk about the Little Busters anime adaptation, check out our topic here: Little Busters! Anime General Discussion Iā€™d love to hear your thoughts, since I myself am also a big fan of the anime adaptation for the most part.

@Aspirety I think I will definitely like here,and thank for you to answer my question,I will find time to see the topics you provided,thanks

Well, first of all Iā€™m not used to do something like this, but I think about it and say yeah letā€™s give it a try.
Hi everyone, Iā€™m from Peru, maybe Iā€™m the only one from that place xd. Anyway I only had the chance to play the regular version of Little Busters, but Iā€™m interested and have little knowledge about other tittles like Clannad, Kanon and Air. I found Kazamatsuri thanks to one of my close friends, he said to me a couple of days ago ā€œHey you may be interested on thisā€ , oh he was damn right xd. Well about my interests, Iā€™m trying to play different VNā€™s not only from KEY, also I usually play different kind of games. Well I hope I could have a good experience here. Itā€™s an honor and my pleasure to be here , Iā€™m looking forward to meet everyone here. I hope we could get along.
Thank You

Hi there all! Iā€™m pictoshark, a happy go lucky extremely depressed 20 something from Britain!

I am the harbinger of Rokkenjimaā€™s apocalypse, and have been dragged here from there by our lord and savior, @Aspirety to bring a similar fate to you all!

The only Key VN Iā€™ve read so far is planetarian, but Iā€™m hoping to really break into their work with the upcoming steam release of Little Busters, and if my time allows it, Iā€™ll probably be participating in itā€™s bookclub.

My main warning to you if you ever make the mistake of speaking to me is to not bring up video games, I might end up talking your ear off!

I hope to have a lovely time here!

Well, um - hello. Iā€™m Jordan. :happy: I have to admit that I am not quite used to forums, but I am a big fan of Keyā€™s works, and have been following them since 2011. I drifted away from Key after the Little Busters! anime ended, but I have slowly been getting back into it since Harmoniaā€™s release on Steam. I hope to get along with you all well!

Welcome to the forum! Iā€™d recommend you browse around here a little bit and try to find any topics that interest you!

If you watched the anime then I also hope youā€™ll join us for our Little Busters! bookclub whenever its released on Steam :ahaha:

Time for very late introductions!

So, Iā€™m Donna and Iā€™ve been a fan of Key since about 2010. Iā€™ve always enjoyed looking at the CGs or watching the opening videos for the key visual novels on youtube.

Anime wise: I started both the Clannad and Angel Beats animes but never got around to finishing them. I more recently got the Angel Beats bluray so it is certainly going to be finished at some point and Iā€™m probably going to leave finishing the Clannad anime till after I finish the visual novel.

Visual Novel wise: I have only completed the Little Busters visual novel. I did start Clannad but that was quite some time ago and Iā€™ll need to restart it again at some point.

Apart from key visual novels, I enjoy other visual novels by other companies (Umineko, White Album 2, Narcissu, Steins;Gate etc) as well as various other video game series (Tales of series, Trails / Kiseki series, Blazblue, Project Diva series, Idolm@ster series etc).
