Hello… I’m Totoro_Futaki. “Totoro” because I love that Ghibli film, my favorite Ghibli film, and “Futaki” because Kanata is my all-time favorite Little Busters! girl.
I love every Key work. I started with CLANNAD/ After Story, the anime, and loved every second and every character from it. The music was gorgeous too ! CLANNAD is probably today, still one of my favorite Key stories ever. After I finished After Story, there were suggestions for me to watch Kanon (06 respectively), and I did. Kanon was probably one of the stories that I think, pulled my heart strings in every direction. Each girl’s route had my interest waging in, and the final route made me realize how great Kanon was. After that, I felt empty again, so I searched up anime’s similar to Kanon and CLANNAD and found Air (TV). Although i didn’t quite understand Air, I still loved the series. The last few episodes are what makes you realize that the show was worth watching. After that, I found out about Key and their other titles. Of course, i went to Little Busters! since it seemed to be as long as CLANNAD so I was expecting major feels, but the first few episodes kinda threw me off, so I dropped it. Then I went to Angel Beats! and watched the first few episodes, then also dropped that, since I wasn’t probably understanding the story. Then I went back to Little Busters! and watched the first season, Refrain, and EX!. I loved Haruka’s route the most. Of course, I wasn’t as fond at the anime, but people say the visual novel is better, so I’m looking forward to playing it when we get the English release date. I then went to finish Angel Beats! and loved it. I still didn’t quite understand much, so episode 13 didn’t make sense to me. But episode 10 gave me major feels. And now of course, we had the Charlotte anime, which I was hyped up for, but didn’t exactly live up to the hype. But the ending of episode 11, episode 12, and episode 13 satisfied me. At the end of the day, Charlotte is Charlotte. We can just appreciate it for the things it gave us. Now the Rewrite anime ! The Rewrite anime is probably the most hyped up thing I ever hyped up about ! 8-Bit might not be the greatest company, but just seeing that tree that they drew got me excited for some reason !
My favorite Key work would have to be CLANNAD and Rewrite. CLANNAD gave me a glimpse into reality. Showing me that reality isn’t always going to be happy, but can be if you stick to the people who love you. It also taught me how important family is, and how important friends are. Rewrite taught me that a good reality doesn’t mean a perfect life. A good reality means having a life where you can look back on, or a choice you made that you could look back on, where you can tell yourself that you did your best and put everything you had, for the thing that you wanted to do/chose to do, for example, like studying for a test when you didn’t pay attention and don’t understand it. You study, research on google, etc, and put all your effort into it.
I like playing the piano (covers and originals), drawing anime characters (Anime characters close to Na-Ga and Itaru Hinoue designs), writing music, and writing scripts for visual novel idea’s I have that I someday might make.
I’m glad to know that there are other people who admire Key. I think Key is the reason why I understand certain situations in life now. Such as why families fight. Why friendship is important. Why we should create happy memories instead of sad/bad/unhappy memories, etc. I hope other people who discover a Key visual novel/anime/anime adaption, will stick with Key and start realizing the greater things in life, such as family, friends, memories, the planet, time, protection, etc. Key, no matter what they make, whether it’s different, long, short, fantasy-like, hentai, etc, there’s always a lesson to be learned in the overall plot that we can all appreciate. I’m glad I found this site A place where i can fan-boy all I want about Key ! Finding this page is a great Christmas gift to me. Happy Christmas Eve/ Merry Christmas everyone ! Wherever you live ! Time to go find that Charlotte Christmas picture !
