NEKOPARA After

I'm a massive fan of the series, such that I've even spent thousands on figures and other merch over the years. That said... this one just doesn't feel like any of the other entries. For one, and I know this is a taste thing, but how they had Fraise justifying Shigure's "endgame" was laid on far, far, far too thick. I couldn't sit through it with a straight face. It was super weird and uncomfortable. I know Nekopara is inherently weird, but this was *weird,* man. Two, every character feels like they've been broken down to just their base personality and much of the nuance they had in other entries is just gone. For example, literally every chapter of dialogue I've sat through mostly goes like this: Fraise acts cute, Shigure gushes. Chocola says something stupid, is corrected, and Vanilla praises her for being good. Cinnamon finds an innuendo, Maple scolds her. Coconut eats a lot. I don't even know what Azuki is doing half the time. It's probably a good thing this is the last entry in the series if this is how they're going to write it and treat their characters. I'm a huge fan of all the other games and the anime, but After just ain't it. It's a safe skip if you're buying int…

Tragic. Almost a great Nekopara entry, but they assassinated my boy Kashou. Let's get the positives out of the way: MOST of the SoL stuff is great. The Hawaii trip? Fantastic. Great art as usual, the catgirls are all in peak performance, it continues off from where 4 left off and brings Fraise into the fold, all great. Hell even a majority of the H-scenes are fine enough. The problems, or hell, maybe just singular problem, is the only reason I can't recommend this one. Kashou is so out of character at points, even the HCGs depicting him look wrong. A core aspect of Kashou's character throughout the series is how he doesn't want to ♥♥♥♥ his sister, and you'll never believe what he does in this one. I get it's an eroge staple, I don't really care normally since it comes with the territory, I really don't, but it's just to appeal to siscons who wanted the teasing to go further without any regard for consistent characterization. I don't like to use this phrase as criticism if I can help it, but it truly feels more like fanfiction than a mainline entry. Which I suppose is why they called it non canon. And it sucks, y'know, cuz I like Fraise's arc a good deal but it's intwined with Sh…

I regret nothing.

I just finished the whole series in a week. If you don't believe me just look at my recent activity and you're going to see that every night I was baking cakes with Chocola, Vanilla, Coconut and Cinnamon. And yeah, we had a couple hot chocolates along the night. Anyways this game destroyed my relationship. 11/10

Game = Good
