@Aranna: They're generally known as "Otome" games. A few of them (such as Amnesia: Memories) have even been localized. ^^
Wow. Answered within moments.
Oh thanks for all the info... I generally avoid H anything.
I am curious though are there dating sims made for girls? Ones with good story not ones with gratuitous sex.
As others have already confirmed, and i shall add my voice to, there definitely are!
Heck i have even seen several on Steam at this point. (i won't be able to say myself weather they are good or bad, but i know they are there.)
Yes, seed, I'm talking about you.
You too, x.
I actually thought they did a good job with SEED. The sequel to SEED was a train wreck in every possible way though. Which I thought was a great pity.
Still holding out for a second (and third, fourth, fifth and sixth) season of Rokka no Yuusha.
Watched Owari no Seraph over the weekend (second season just about to start!), and was surprisingly caught by the story. I consider an anime good when it intrigues me enough to read the source material... now waiting for the next manga issue...
I think Rokka has... six volumes out? Pretty sure they adapted two for the anime, so that's enough for only a second and third season at the same pace.
Actually, the anime only covered volume 1 of the light novel. So there is plenty of material for subsequent seasons! =)
But yes, I also do like it that much. ;)
interesting.
Tell me more of these titles that you are referring to.
What, the non-nukige eroge?
Well, right off the bat I can tell you that Little Witch Romanesque is a notable one. Both the art style (watercolors) and text style (word balloons, rather than a text box) are unusual for most games.
But far more notable is the dice rolling that makes up this game's actual gameplay (rather than it being a pure visual novel). It's unexpectedly fun, and more appealing than the game's handful of sex scenes (most of which are surprisingly hard to earn). I'd definitely recommend it, if you want a casual game that's fun.
To be fair, this one was never developed into any sort of franchise, so it may not be exactly what you're looking for. But I'd still recommend the game.
...or were you asking about anime that started as eroge?
EDIT: If so, there's Shuffle!, a supernatural slice-of-life harem anime that started as an eroge.
Shuffle! is a pretty basic show, being light on the comedy, instead focusing on the romantic drama between the various characters (or so I recall, it's been a few years since I watched it). It does still highlight the characters fairly well, but the most notable part of the show is that it actually has the male character pick a single girl to be with and deal with the resulting fallout by the end of the show, which is rare for harem stories.
yes. More please.
2015 Fall Anime Lineup
coooool
yes. More please.That's about the limit for anime based on eroge that I'm personally familiar with. That's mostly due to happenstance, but also because the series that pull this off with the greatest success sometimes develop a body of work that can require some commitment to fully get through.
The best example of that is the Fate/Stay Night anime (the original work in what eventually became the entire "Fate/" series). Other notable titles include Koihime Musou, Comic Party, To Heart, and Da Capo.
I KNEW fate was h!
I am already playing koihime musou. I want to find the original to heart because I can only find tamer versions. Will look up comic party when possible.
Ok... I looked up Otome games... I had no idea these were around. But SO many titles and producers. Any recommendations where to start?

will have recommendations soon.
@Aranna: The ones we've mentioned in this thread are a good place to start. Or Hatoful Boyfriend.
Hatoful Boyfriend is unquestionably the world's greatest otome-style pigeon dating-simulator series.
...Also almost certainly the only series in that category, but still. XD If someone wants to play an insane otome game instead of a vanilla romance one, it's pretty hard to top.
Even if you don't want to play it, this written let's play by one Angie Gallant (and here is the second part) is one of the finest literary works of our century.
FAAAAT BBBBBBBIIIIRRRDDDDDDDDDD

Here. You can turn the sexual content off, but for once I don't recommend it. The sex actually serves the story rather than the other way around this time.
That game - while excellent - is not an otome game. XD

Ursula Vernon livetweeted her play through it, and I think someone storified the tweets. They were hysterical.
I'm just gonna leave this here
It's a page from Dungeon Dinning. This comic has been a lot of fun so far
Of course, when folks think of tokusatsu, they tend to envision more along the lines of this and that.
The day Tokusatsu decided to hit things with their axes (such a variety of axes... great-axes and even orcish double axes galore). And you haven't lived until you get to the extended "death scene with terminal baldness", sans any pyrotechnics (from 22:00)...
Putting back the dub in "Dubya"...Because dubs (one of the few single-season only ones of anime) still exist.The "fanservicey" hand taketh away: The Familiar of Zero.
1. Be a human male, summoned to another world by accident.
2. Could get a Harem in that world.
3. ????
4. Profit with more seasons/sequels!Also in dubbed format.
By single season dub, it was just the first 12 episodes that got dubbed before old local distributor, Geneon went belly-up (Sentai handles the distro of this series nowadays).
A "familiar" dub returns. Is NSFW.
The "fanservicey" hand taketh away: High School DxD; doing to devils what Stephenie Meyer did for vampires, this fun little romp is now in it's third season. Dub available for the first two seasons. The first season ending sequence has some nice pole dancing (NSFW) though.
Correction; it appears that the third season also has a dub.
Nope, it wasn't just my imagination, there really is a dub.
Not to be viewed at work. Is NSFW too.
It wouldn't surprise me to see a partially completed monster girl costume waiting for me when I go over to his place.
Inquiring mind/s wish to know, monster girl costume confirmed, yes? ;)

Devils in anime have always been pretty relaxed. XD Maybe it's because Japan's not a particularly Christian nation, but in general, their devils tend to be less bad (and their angels tend to be less good) than in many other societies' portrayals.
...................
...this relaxed attitude is actually recognized in-universe by basically all of the characters, and it's an important plot point. Not every character is happy about it.
Twilight, on the other hand, is just bad. I should know - I read an analysis that went literally line-by-line through the whole series and COUNTED the problems.

** spoiler omitted **
I think it has to do with heavy Shinto spirit influences.
Quite possibly - I don't know enough about the subject to say for sure, so it's just a guess on my part. XD

No my worries were over nothing. When asked he said it would be too much work to make me a realistic snake half... Still I caught him later doing a sketch of the mermaid girl. So maybe my question gave him ideas. But so far no outfits.

One of my players was in the front row when this was announced! She got her phone autographed by ozaki-san!

No I just found out about it off Crunchyroll, but Tiger and Bunny is one of my favs. Really hoping they do a good job with it
I will let my player know there is another tiger and Bunny fan here. She will be so happy.
She has a family liquor store themed bathroom towel set. And tiger and Bunny hand towels that noone can use. She is truly obsessed.
Considering that there may be someone that wanted to start the series now that Owarimonogatari is out, I thought this list of the Monogatari series made by Akumasubs, an Italian Sub group, could be of use to someone. The chart is mostly in English, but I'll translate the bits in Italian.
On the left, you have the chronological order in which things happen: it's great to make sense of some things after you've watched the anime. There are a couple of notes I'll translate, though.
1)Kabukimonogatari/Onimonogatari and Owarimonogatari II/Nekomonogatari Shiro happens at the same in the, during a four days span.
2)Koyomimonogatari is a series of 12 short stories that span one year from Kizumonogatari to after Tsukimonogatari (i.e Koyomi Dead happens after Tsukimonogatari)
3)These are a couple of novels with extra stories that should come in the future, so we don't know where they'll be: novel wise, the main plot is done.
Hope that was of help to someone ^^
Good news, everyone! Overlord has been licensed, so if you wanted to read the original material in English and enjoy the rest of the story, you'll now be able to.
Also getting a license is Psycome/Psycho Love Comedy, and it's hard to overstate how much I'm looking forward to that coming out. XD
oooo....so both the Light Novels and the manga are getting published. Nice
