Welcome @IchibanOtaku and @Echo. Nice to meet you two.
You and me, VJ, weāre the last sane men in an insane world.
Guysā¦ If youāre gonna shitpost do it somewhere outside of everyoneās first introduction to the site.
Welcome to the community @iamnoob, @Echo and @IchibanOtaku! I hope you all enjoy your time here. Things are a little quiet right now, but I expect activity to pick up when Little Busters launches, when weāll commence our Little Busters Bookclub!
Wellā¦ After welcoming(?) @Echo and @IchibanOtaku, I realized that I didnāt do an introduction myself
I am a student currently residing in Taiwan, but I plan to move to the US in August. I watched Angel Beats, Little Busters (all of the anime), Charlotte, and Planetarian.
Plans to watch Kanon and Air during summer vac, when Iāll have the most free time.
I own Planetarian (read), Clannad (currently reading), 1st Beat, and Rewrite (will read).
I love to read/watch/hear/imagine all kinds of stories. Apart from anime and VNs, I like reading classics because modern novels donāt really suit my taste, I like Tolkienās and Lovecraftās books the best, but they take a long time to read.
As of now, I thoroughly enjoy the discussions this community engages in and I hope to participate more.
Heya everyone, Iām Revvie!
ā¦ Or at least thatās what my preferred username is, but thatās already taken so here we are. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Iāve been a key fan for quite a while, my first exposure was reading the visual novel Planetarian, about 3 to 4 years back. Since then Iāve read (and watched) Clannad, Rewrite, and everything in between those 2. If I have to pick a favorite, Iād have to say itās Little Busters ā You canāt really beat the muscles.
I first found Kazamatsuri when I saw that one of my friends followed this weird twitter account that diligently posts key news and stuff in English. So I dug deeper into it andā¦ yeah. Iām really glad this site exists though, finding fellow key fans out there in the wild can be pretty hard!
Thatās all I guess. I really hope I can become an active member of the community!
Glad you could make it @Eivver! Thumbs up for the Mio avatar, you have good taste! I really hope you enjoy your time here! Make sure you get that Dango rank so you can join us on the Discord
Thank you @Aspirety! Mio is best girl after all, that much is obvious. And yeah, thatās what Iām going for! I look forward to chatting with you and the gang on discord once I get that rank.
Edit: Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I thought about making another reply but I figured that would be too much clutter, but I do want to say that I appreciate it.
@Eivver Welcome and nice to meet you! It took me a moment to realize your current username is just revvie backwards.
Hello! The name is Kozumiku. I generally go by Cosmic.
Where in the world do you live? I live in the United States.
What Key games or Anime have you read/watched? So far I have only read through Planetarian. I may begin reading through CLANNAD soon.
How did you find Kazamatsuri? @Hardscope Invited me in preparation for the Little Busters book club!
What are some of your interests outside of Key? I spend a lot of my free time on Metroid Construction, (A popular metroid romhacking site) and with some help Iām currently messing with a ROM-hack of my own for Metroid: Zero Mission.
BONUS OPTIONAL QUESTION: Tell us something interesting about yourself. Hardscope and I play Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: First Assault Online together often.
Welcome to the club @Kozumiku, Iām excited to see you join us for the LB Bookclub! Iām sure youāll be a better member than Hardscope
Hello Everyone!
I live in the US and my favorite key anime is Angel Beats! Iāve also seen Little Busters, Planetarian, Charlotte, and Rewrite. As for Key VNs, Iāve played Planetarian, the Fuko route in Clannad (and none of the others), and I started Harmonia. I really should finish those last 2ā¦
I learned about Kazamasuri a couple months ago while I was looking up info about the Steam release of the Little Busters VN. What got me to stop lurking and make an account was when I saw the post about the Little Busters card game and saw it was on tabletop simulator. I wanted to get together with people and try that out, but itās kinda hard to do that when you donāt know anyone.
My hobbies include playing board games and video games (mostly Nintendo).
Yups Welcome dude, feel free and enjoy in kazamatsuri . Hope you like to stay and discuss a lot of key creation, fanarts, music, and much more. Welcome
Welcome welcome and welcome
Itās weird watching Otonashi welcome Otonashiā¦

Welcome @CandorVelexion !

umm i donāt know what to say, basically just a key fanboy who lives in a nothern african country called algeria. iām in highschool and iāve watched and read every single key work (except for tomoyo after, couldnāt get my hands on it lol) my first was kannon 2002 (not the best anime) then i found angel beats, which is now one of my favorite animes of all time. Oh and iām also a big fan of the danganronpa series. looking forward for my time in this community!
Hi all! Iāve been a long-time fan of Key works since I first watched the Clannad anime in around 2009/2010.
Where in the world do you live?
USA east coast.
What Key games or Anime have you read/watched? Which was your first, and which is your favourite?
My first Key work was Clannad (the anime). In fact, itās what made aware that Visual Novels existed. The themes of family and community made a huge impact on me at the time. Iāve rewatched it several times and even gotten my family to sit through the entirety of it with me, and it still makes me feel very strong emotions each and every time.
Other Key works Iāve finished are Air (anime), Angel Beats and Little Busters! (Visual Novel). Iām planning to either watch or read Kanon some time in the near future.
Itās a hard choice picking a favorite between LB and Clannad. I found LBās cast to be more charming and waaaaay more fun in general, but at the end of the day I think the themes in Clannad made a much bigger impact on me.
How did you find Kazamatsuri?
I started reading Umineko some time ago and was fascinated by the extremely unique way in which it incorporates meta elements into the narrative, so I tried to find online discussions about that which made me bump into a Kakeracomplex blog post called āHow Umineko has influenced my thinkingā. I enjoyed the writing style so I checked out some other posts on the site, and I found that the writer had created this community dedicated to Key works. I lurked around for a bit and found the community to be quite pleasant. Soā¦ here I am!
What are some of your interests outside of Key?
The usual: anime and video games. My taste is pretty wide when it comes to what kind of anime I like, but I generally tend to sway more towards the comedy/slice of life genres. Or rather, itās hard to find comedy/SoL anime that I donāt enjoy, whereas other genres can be pretty hit or miss. My favorite anime is Nichijou. As for video games, I love action/adventure and story heavy JRPGs. My favorite game of all time is probably Persona 4, although I have been very into action-heavy, atmospheric games like Bloodborne and Hyper Light Drifter lately. It depends on my mood I guess.
I also love Visual Novels even though I havenāt read that many. From what Iāve experienced, I find the medium to be my ideal sweet spot between the beauty and introspection that written works provide and the immersion and heightened emotions that audiovisual media has. My current favorite one is Fate/Stay Night (which made me realize that the cyclical nature of VNs could be used for more interesting things than just exploring multiple romance options).
Other things:
-I have a boring 9-5 programming job.
-My favorite Key protagonist is Tomoya.
-My favorite Key heroine is Kyou. Or Kurugaya. Or Fuuko. Or Komari. Orā¦ (Ah, I canāt choose! Theyāre all great!)
-Iām a huge fan of Touhou Project, especially the music and even more so the remixes.
-The only kind of music I ever listen to lately is video game/anime soundtracks
-I enjoy soccer
-Iāve been studying Japanese for ~3 months now and (slowly) going through the raw Lucky Star manga.

Hello fellow new user! Iām also a big fan of the Dangan Ronpa series. My favorite one is probably DR2.
