Introduce Yourself!

Hoi @xToki, I’d like to order a rabbit pls^^

Welcome, and join the hype party! Glad to have you here @xToki.

Hello…
I live in Massachusetts.
I have seen the anime adaptions of Kanon, Air, Clannad, Little Busters, Angel Beats, and have read Rewrite. I started with Clannad, which was the first anime I ever watched, and my favorite is Rewrite…intensely so. This was my first and only visual novel.
I found this site because I really like Key, especially the philosophical side of it. I’d been googling and trying to find more information about Key, and this turned out to be the most informative website.
Outside of Key, I like to read literature and write stories.
Please note that I have never done anything like this on the internet, and I may be a bit confused about how to do things like post stuff. I just really like Key.
Thank you!

Welcome @Rewrite130 !!!

I’m glad you’re here. It seems like you’ve crossed the point of not return in the wonderful Key’s universe.

Let me tell you: Your story is quite similar to mine. I’ve watched Clannad anime, and it was the entry point (and an inflection point aswell), and then I’ve read a lot of stories all the way up to Rewrite (to think about deep philosophical questions and to think about human behaviour).

Enjoy Key, and there’s more coming… I hope you enjoy Charlotte and Harmonia, (and all the classics aswell).

@Rewrite130
welcome!!!
Actually you should play the other games as well

Welcome @Rewrite130 . Glad you could make it over here. :slight_smile:

Hi @xToki . I see you like Gochiusa - we already have something in common.

Welcome @Rewrite130 . Feel free to share your writing with us in the form of fanfiction, and… A new female, huh? Glad to see more XX people with us.

Hey @Rewrite130!

Welcome, @Rewrite130 and all of the other people that I haven’t greeted yet. Sucks to be busy… :confused:

[/quote]It’s nice that you like Rewrite, but it would also be nice if you looked at the other VNs Key has to offer. Planetarian might be a good starting point since it’s short and cheap. :3

[/quote]It’s nice to finally have someone who does their best to raise awareness for one’s favorite franchises. (Where’s my Sakura Wars VI, Sega? ;; ) Our admins are admirable for what they’ve done to make this site work as well as it is right now.

Hey everyone! I’m Joel. Longtime Key fan, first time caller.

I’ve been a fan of Key works since probably 2008/9, when I first played Kanon on a recommendation from a friend, and I got totally hooked from there. I’m a sucker for fun characters, gorgeous music, and melodrama, so Key novels and anime suck me in like nothing else. I can say I spent way too much time in my high school classes aggressively pressing enter during Little Busters when I should’ve been working, but I have no regrets. I’ve played and watched everything that’s been translated (and a little bit of KudWaf and EX)…

Except I’ve never read Rewrite, despite following its prerelease period and translation extensively, mainly due to real life distractions and many other things getting in the way every time I get a chance to pick it up. But luckily for me replaying Air recently and the start of Charlotte totally reinvigorated my Key mania, so I started it a few days ago and I’m taking it slow and super enjoying it.

This community here seems to be really thoughtful and fun, so I look forward to my stay here! This forum system is unlike any other I’ve used, so apologies in advance if I screw anything up with replying or anything.

I had the same thing. Followed the translation, ready and excited to read it, and then it took me a year to actually start reading it. Once I got through the common route though, it only took a couple days to finish it.

Welcome aboard, @Kamioangelo64 and @jda95!

CHARLOTTE HYPE TRAIN!

Heyo @Kamioangelo64 and @jda95! Enjoy Rewrite, it’s a nice read :stuck_out_tongue:

i am plan to read them all XD

Hey, I’m Slowdive! I’m from New Jersey, United States. I got into Key like a lot of people, through Clannad’s anime adaption, which was my first anime. I watched it at a dark time in my life (freshman year of high school to be exact) and I can honestly say that it changed my perspective on life. Since then, I’ve watched Kanon, Angel Beats, Air TV, Air movie, Clannad Movie, Kanon 2002, read Kanon, Clannad, and ,Little Busters and watched LB/LB:R/LB:E in that order.

I am a huge Key nerd as you can probably tell and if anyone is interested, I wrote an essay on the Canon of the Key universe and how all of their works are related to one another. I can also make a pretty strong case for Kurugaya being Riki’s main romantic interest in Little Busters

As for me personally, I found the site while Googling around for a good discussion on Nayuki’s route in Kanon. I keep my Key fan-ness pretty low-key in real life since my friends are lame and hate anything to do with anime. I play guitar and am a huge fan of shoegaze (if my username didn’t give that away), post-rock (really hoping ZHIEND lives up to my personal hype), 90s emo, screamo and post-hardcore, and European doom metal, along with a healthy dose of Chillwave, Chillstep, Nujabes and jazz. I hope to meet some cool new people here on the board!
