Do it yourself on /djn/! figamin ## sysop 4/22/25 (Tue) 11:44:19 No.1[Reply]

/djn/ has been split off from /vnt/. This board is meant for discussing Japanese doujinshi culture & associated works, as well as visual novels (even ones not purely doujin). We heavily encourage folks to use this board to create their own fan works!

NOTE: You can basically treat this as a /jp/ type board (character threads and such are allowed)

Board renamed to emphasize the fact that this is meant for visual novel discussion as well.

How would people on here feel about starting up a VN Book Club? I have been meaning to read more this year and it could be neat to do it in a shared manner.

I wanted to reread a scene from Tomoyo's route a while ago, arbitrarily picked choices that led me onto her route, and somehow got a new, never before seen with Nagisa in the school hallways that unlocked because *I promised to help her but discarded the theater club partway through*. I'd already read Tomoyo's route twice at that point. It's really amazing how much missable content there is in CLANNAD. I'm not sure that I've seen all of the available gym storehouse events either.

>Tomoyo
Fair enough. It will always be Kyou for me, thoughever.
Tomoyo has an afterstory FD set right after her route by the way.

I thought about playing Tomoyo After, but I haven't heard anyone say it was exceptional and I didn't think her route needed anything more. I might play it in a few years.

It's hard to like Subahibi, it's a bit too conceited at some point about concepts from "tractus logico-philosophicus" the VN tries to be based on, which quite ruins some scenes. I first read it in 2018 when an english translation came out, I was perplexed but I really liked the atmosphere (it made me buy the damn book) I finished a second read a few days ago, it's still a bit too pretentious to me.
Anyway, I'm halfway through Seabed, a yuri mystery VN. I'm liking it quite a lot.

Mahoyo status: finished
Another Type-Moon masterpiece; Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime walked so that Mahoyo could run.

I can only imagine the sheer disappointment people who've read this in 2012 must've felt with the medium if they thought that Nasu's magnum opus would set a new standard for visual novels.
Going back to static sprites and CGs afterwards must feel like moving back into your 3rd world shithole after spending a week-long vacation in Tokyo.
I'm genuinely like my boy Sono-G in that regard; I can never return to life on the mountain (a life without Mahoyo) after coming into contact with society (Mahoyo).

Now that I've read it*, I can finally answer the eternal question that's plagued Mahoyo discourse since time immemorial:
Aoko > Alice
…but that can change with the sequel, which will surely focus more on this somber and mysterious, yet lovable, roommate of our heroes.
*"it" being Mahoyo

To every /djn/ resident who hasn't read Mahoyo yet - what's stopping you from experiencing Nasu at her peak?
To all of the others, please tell me your thoughts on the following topics:
Who was it that Aoko "met" for the first time in the prologue?

NEW YEAR'S GIKOPOI figamin ## sysop 12/27/25 (Sat) 05:01:10 No.4170 [Reply]

We have been invited to kissu's Gikopoi New Year's celebration. Details below:

Remember to make plans for New Year's Day/Night as we hang out in Gikopoi again, as is tradition.
If you're someone that has plans to try streaming stuff like anime or games or audio, now is the time to do the troubleshooting because it can be very annoying to set it up since you have to convert the mic signal to some sort of emulated audio thing.
Anyway, I hope to see you there. Remember to be on your best wapanese behavior because we'll be interacting with other communities! We must ensure a wapanese cultural victory!

Yeah and the basic Laser Class are even human size so you can hug them.

Muv-Luv designs are really underrated, both mechanical and BETA. Actually, especially BETA, and I say that as someone who adores TSFs.
BETA are straight up genital-Gigerian. Whoever could, should have shown them to Giger before he died.
Just look at that pic related. Mundanely disgusting despite looking all alien. Isn't it lovely? Soldier classes, too, for one, but their slits are a bit NSFW so I'll pass on posting one.

For others, only some Bloodborne stuffs get into this territory this good. Must be the Japanese yokai inspirations since the "original" yokai "designs" were similar in spirit. Fascinating. I think I should research and cross-check this angle deep.

Recently found myself with nothing to do while waiting to start my new job so I decided to sit down and read through Umineko.
Holy hell what a great read. The Magic Ending is the first thing that has made me openly and profusely sob in a long, long while. I don't think its perfect and I certainly didn't have the intended experience (I ended up accidentally spoiling myself on a fair few things along the way) but even so I do think that it is a true, and truly unique, work of art.

I dedicate this tale to my beloved witch, BEATRICE…

Umineko was the only VN I had dreams of, despite there being longer VN franchises I had read through.
The dreams I can recall were:
Nightmare of Beatrice showing me through her some new special scenario with extra tortures, like it's some festival. It was extra "classic Middle Ages witch" themed as some victim was also being boiled in a cauldron, and another was impaled and crushed via some castle trapdoor.
Nightmare of LD and Bern following me by flight while they treated me with worry, like I'm retarded for trying to escape by parkouring through some castle ruins.
Nightmares of debating against LD and Bern, and I had to debate through a shoddy position.

I just found this site and there's a Denpa thread! This makes me very happy. I'm wondering if Denpa songs are seeing somewhat of a resurgence? I've seen them referenced in a few games and such, not sure how others feel about those things. It could be nice to see some new life breathed into Denpa.

I will post some Youtube playlists and videos of Denpa albums that I personally believe are required listening/incredibly high quality Denpa.

A classic from IOSYS: ワァオ！ハイパー電波チャン (Wow! Hyper Denpa-chan)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDDaXcQXw4c82YoFmqfNkc8Hdksigems0

It features many vocalists and remixes of other Denpa. Including Momoi Haruko, MOSAIC.WAV, Yamamoto Momiji and miko. It is an assorted collection of ARM's works.

The strange work of circle Hyper Beroove Rebirth: ぱんださんようちえん (Panda-san Kindergarten)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGQHbqp8xs_eFupBKhYuzApztfmUMg92T

A very weird collection of songs, it features a mixture of cutesy loli-style vocals and Ojisan vocals. An eclectic variation in styles keeps the album feeling fresh every listen. Spearheaded by the incredible Mirawi (rest in peace) and bermei.inazawa. The final track, Neko Nabe, even had a doujin game based on it!
