holy shit why did adelta put so much sauce into this one. i came into it after shiodome B and what the fuck theres so MUCH. this one made me laugh SO much and felt like a great build up for the eventual shijoumae/hinode/toyosu routes. everyone felt so in-character-ly stupid and i loved hanging out with shinbashi as a friend(?) YIPPEE!! the sex in this route was even more important than the last ones it was fun. get fucked ariake seeya IDIOT im busy fuckin other guys that dont even care about my trauma!!! in all seriousness i think it held a really good balance of giving me a break from all the deep misery/violence while also keeping an undercurrent of sadness and loneliness. the ending felt so bittersweet... oosaki if you were my big stoic bully seme i would ask about you. call me
this route was also satisfying because of how many different concepts it was juggling around but kept roping back into the theme/current beats of the story. plus im really glad to get another characters feelings on religion before we get into toyosu. felt like a nice easy onboarding. more thoughts below cut
shijoumae sucks so bad i cannot wait until his route. im hoping oosaki just beats the hell out of him and they have a older+money power vs a bigger+stronger power dynamic. hinode getting flustered about oosaki was cracking me up because hes so real for that (Dont ever make that expression with the freaky eyes again kid) but someone needs to shoot ariake. it makes complete sense why hes acting that way but shinbashi give me the gun
toyosus death on the boat in ariake route is the most ??? incident to me so far in that idek WHAT happened so i was really glad to be on the boat again. takeshiba might be stupid for thinking he could take oosaki. Also when toyosu fell during the RPS game holyyyy shit i need him so bad but also i was crylaughing because i thought about his old bones shattering and oosaki was thinking the SAME thing. its so interesting that shijoumae has gone to a psych but is so cruel to people with mental health issues
i wonder how much i should believe shinbashis intuition that the organizer didnt include his own crime... to what extent are toyosu and hinode working together, or is toyosu using hinode as a shield? they definitely care for each other and that cant be faked through all these routes... toyosu and hinode must be related to an (and i LOVED getting more of an from takeshiba! YES!!!) somehow. If toyosu is a doctor im fuckin him until he turns into dust fyi
speaking of fuckin holy shit the takeshiba sex. wow i was hyped up about + laughed about 1) the seahorses 2) him asking if oosaki wanted a mom right before saying he has a kid 3) him talking about his erectile dysfunction and then you completely shatter me with all of these things by telling me he is like that because hes been the freakshow's (i wonder if theyll TL it like that, it felt appropriate with takeshibas disdain) sex toy ever since hes been alive. Holy shit dude. and how everyone always laughs at him. it was just enough to force you to fill in blanks yourself which i really appreciate. and oosaki isnt mature enough to feel comforted by takeshiba feeling safe with him ugh
takeshiba is used to being a stand-in (which he even was when he was first killed!), so he uses oosaki as one and cant believe that oosaki doesnt see him as one... i understand everyone saying takeshiba is so ero now though like, he swallows his own vomit and sweats everywhere and is an anal virgin and cant get hard and gets fucked so hard he pisses himself. he gets manhandled by his pubic hair and doesnt even realize hes squeezing dick dry and is a milfy guy in his 30s that wants you to play with his chest. His dick twitches when he gets scared????????? The eroticism is entirely because he is just some guy. i felt like i understood him so much better thru the sex and i pray he gets good sex where his family isnt watching him anymore. GOOD LUCK KING...! GET HARD AGAIN!
i also really enjoyed oosakis story about learning about his dick/being scared about his foreskin being nasty/being self conscious about how big he is. i want more of that!!! if no one else is asking about you oosaki I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only negative about this route is i think it lingered on the rules of old maid for WAY too long. oosaki you dont need to tell me 5 times that the person with the joker wins. first time playing this that i was like "ok yall hurry it up" but its not like its hard to skim past on another read. thanks takeshiba youre awesome mwah

watched because i had heard about denji being an interesting character that dealt with grooming and brother they werent lying everyone loves to groom the fuck out of him. i couldnt stop thinking about how bad i wish he had a social worker... my poor booboo bear i will protect you. i honestly loved seeing him do anything. when denji smiles i smile ok. i also liked power a lot shes fuckin awesome
dont really have much to say about it plotwise but i love a story that is Hype Moments & Aura. it is saying stuff so theres some tasty things to chew on but i simply am not interested in doing that rn it didnt grab me that way. also felt no shock at any characters pain or death bc everyone survives so easily (and idgaf about those who dont) (ASIDE FROM BEAM I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM DURING THE MOVIE). the movie fucking rocked dude the end of the season was kind of mid but the movie made me wish the rest of the chainsaw man animation would be exclusively movie format because it felt SO good
my heart hurt insanely bad every time denji got betrayed by an adult or couldnt understand things... or the denji reze school situation. nothin like being 16 and being groomed + underschooled am i RIGHT LADS??
super fun gameplay. beautiful world and music. dogshit fuckin story holy shit i was disappointed the whole time but it was very enjoyable to pick apart WHAT i hated
i felt no attachment to the characters or the world. there felt like there was no depth and no real friction between party members or reason for them to be there. no reaction to the world around them. made the whole theme fall SOOO FLAT the final decision was SO easy to make and it was just so so so messy. it only got interesting in the last like 1/3 and by then it was far too late to build anything up meaningfully. i could talk in circles for ages but in short: DIDNT LIKE THIS MAN
really liked this route! this is the first one that made me really uncomfortable and made me think about where my limits are with character actions and why i feel this way. thinking about this as the ending of the āfirst halfā of ooe is really interesting in how it shows off how terrible oosaki can be too... mustve been really interesting to finish what had released on that note and sit with it for a long time until the complete version released. first time i felt we had some reason to have sexual activity too HAHA and that there was change that happened through the sex. more thoughts below cut
obviously ariakeās route made me uncomfortable too but it didnāt feel nearly as intense because it was ariakeās actions towards oosaki. having oosaki rape aomi was really really good to chew on. that was really what i took with me outside of the route so let me cover other things first
the bucket stuff was evil and great. the corpse and oosakis despair. LOVE having more of shiodome ugh. i also really enjoyed oosaki having to stay in the shadows like aomi had to in the previous route and getting that POV. this go-around broke my heart with oosaki feeling like he was there to be punished. aomi is very endearing and scary. it was a little disappointing that aomi was in fact innocent but i think that further pushes the player to see oosaki in a negative light here which i liked for that. aomiās cute... i hope we see him care for hinode more because as it stands he really doesnt. i know he has to pretend to be his father but...
also, i really enjoyed oosakiās desperation to be accepted by aomi and redeem himself. and i REALLY liked aomiās rejection of it (and his rejection of his own feelings) by questioning why oosakiās love means anything. they are so alike that they cannot be together so quickly and intensely. felt good.
i really really really want to learn more about toyosu. the ONE time we know he got off the island and heās nowhere to be found...!!! ugh what a good tease. how could anyone else be the organizer (hinode!?) yknow? but then... what happened the first route to lead to toyosuās death. why does toyosu care so much about using an. whats the POINT of this man. TALK TO ME. oh my god im so excited for his route okay anyways
now to talk about the rape
thereās been so much murder and cruelty in ooe already so why is it the sexual abuse that got me going āwhoa oosaki!ā. itās interesting that murder feels ādistantā while rape feels ācloseā in peopleās perceptions which makes murder feel less impactful (perhaps its also the fact the victim lives with the trauma and death is final). what a great route to highlight that anyone can do terrible things and i think it was a good idea to make it after ariake and shinbashiās. my gut reaction to oosaki going for it was that he wouldnāt do that but... he would, thatās WHY heās doing it. i was upset and shocked because i wouldnāt do that, and i had been in oosakiās shoes long enough that i was meshing with him and in his role. when i talk about ooe i flip between saying āiā and āoosakiā when describing the actions the protagonist takes because this is a narrative game you put yourself into etc etc. oosaki is poised as a victim throughout so much of the material in the other routes leading up to this. even when he goes on that killing spree, a player can justify it by thinking āwell, ariake is manipulating himā.
here oosaki has just... lost control of the situation. he uses rape to get control and because he is sexually attracted to aomi, obviously. i would really like to get a further dive into what oosaki feels about sex because even though hes having sex every route it feels like oosaki himself is trying to hide how he feels about it from me. ariake route was influenced by ariakeās own desires and because oosaki was frustrated. shinbashiās was oosakiās desire, but even oosakiās kiss with shinbashi came from oosaki not understanding how to convey himself. and here with aomi it comes back to frustration leading to sex (and later desperation/not knowing how to convey himself at the end). i feel like oosaki uses sex as a vehicle to express either 1) anger or 2) desperation for companionship. ariake A was 2, the very end of ariake B was mostly 1 with some 2. shinbashi was 2, aomi was first 1 then 2. itās never sex fueled by love but more fueled by loneliness...
anyways, i thought it was very interesting that aomi clocks immediately that oosaki is using sexual violence to gain control/power and... āāconsentsāā to it. made me feel like this has happened to aomi before but that never came up lol (in reality it was just aomiās total lack of self-love huh). it did make it very clear though that yes this is the first time weāve seen oosaki so helpless and he IS someone who will succumb to violence quickly. i really liked how contradictory oosaki is in this route!!! he does that to aomi, he says he should die for it but never takes an action towards death. he says he wont attack people and will put his faith in the Truth and VERY quickly backs down from that. itās very human of him. he really tries to build himself up as āthe cool and collected guy who can handle things and think objectivelyā but he never can and that is at the forefront here. even shiodome calls him on it asking why he treats everyone else like criminals
the rape in hashihime was one i thought was ridiculous because i already knew just how terrible the character was, but i really liked how this iteration of this kind of abuse in ooe wasnāt like... giving sexual views to the player or particularly erotic descriptions. it was fully oosaki being frustrated and violent and then even more frustrated when he didnt get what he wanted from it. even though i think i wouldve enjoyed a little more of a hint towards oosakiās attraction to aomi before he assaulted him i think it was a good method to show oosakiās flaws. and it was a good way to reinforce oosakiās own thoughts that he is inhuman and his desperation to not be that way
cannot believe this got an anime release i got to hear everyone SPEAK? i really enjoyed it as a "yuri's experience" vs "player's experience", "show" vs "game". some characters really did not get the focus they deserved but it was like that in the game too imo. they shouldve made jonas weirder, sha-ming more annoying... etc etc. i need to replay the game to solidify my feelings on the gnos/bug stuff they did. i really enjoyed being in japan while this was airing and getting to see merch stores stock gnosia i got a cute gnosia round1 raqio!!!
i love raqio. i really liked yuri too. it did start to fall off to me towards the end but i think the game simply has too much going on to perfectly become an anime adaption so idk i liked what it was!! i liked having this experience and am glad it doesnt replace the game either. yum. final verdict of Pretty Good

pretty fun i dont know anything about tron aside from kh2 but i could pick up on all of it. soraya was correct comparing the characters to the xenosaga cast. Basically all i have to say abt it. it was fun
loved the first like 10 hours of this game and then hated it. its so boring. rufus was hot though and roche was fun. get this 80gb fuckin game off my hard drive
it still surprises me that ppl are finding and enjoying(?) my karafami review from when i caught up that i wrote for myself. i reread my fic last night and had dreams that i had to spend 30 minutes unpacking.
ive read the ending its good. it satisfies me. i dont think i can interface with any fan of it unless the first words out of their mouth to me are "kyouji was sexually abused" like how can i not read that from the text in front of me. that doesnt make him a good guy we all want him to explode obviously. but my fondness for him is 100% because he is also a victim. genuinely cannot read this text as anything other than "abused man abuses another man while thinking what he is doing is slightly less bad than what was done to him because its not sex". the kyouji satomi trauma olympics. what a nightmare. what a healing journey. i sang kurenai at karaoke it was fun
