I saved Yuka this time.  Kizami still gets hammered to death but pretty much everything else was vastly different.

I was able to bring Yoshiki along with Ayumi, which helped her stability a lot.  Also Satoshi and Naomi meet up with Yuka of course.

Seiko and Mayu are still dead.  Morishige and Ms. Yui still die.  :[

Afterwards we ended up meeting in a bomb shelter underground tunnel after I made at least five choices and must have gotten SOME right.  I say this because my bad end was the last star listed.

It ends with the remaining five chanting the Sachiko thing and escaping, then Satoshi realizes (since he's Keiichi) they just TIME LOOPED THEMSELVES

WRONG END

OH MY GOG ANOTHER TIME TRAVELER OH MY GOG SUDDENLY AN ILLUSTRATIONS

This was lovely, lovely lovely!  I spent about two hours playing Chapter 5 and ending up with the 4th star or 3rd bad ending on the list. 

It was a complete and utter train wreck and the voices were glorious glorious

All of the characters were just going insane.  My guess is because I purposely let Kizami catch Satoshi's sister just to see myself get a quick bad end

I was wrong

Morishige goes absolutely batshit when he realizes Mayu is the corpse he was most happy of, not that we was keeping it together in the first place.  Satoshi is just angry spriting it around and then I get pentagrams to switch between parties and Ayumi goes crazy blah blah

I have to say Kyon's VA does an amazing job with Kizami it's totally out of character for him I never would have guessed.  I mean when he catches Satoshi's sister it's not just some quick halfassed scene we get to see that Kizami is a total Kotomine nutjob and then little miss Sachiko comes in with her giant hammer mook and hammers Kizami out for the count, I'm a little disappointed that's how he dies because I found his death name tag and everything.

Anyway when I was playing this I didn't realize this bad end was so long I mean

the music was great

and Ayumi and Yoshiki had a cool scene when talking with Yuki (the girl missing her left eye) I really like some of these characters.

Ayumi starts acting really funky and destroys Naomi's paper though which is odd, she had to have been possessed or something because she says contradictory stuff later.  She also finds a pentagram room and I finally can connect Chapter's 4 Extra Ending to this.

Satoshi then finds a photo (almost certainly placed by Sachiko) and spazzes the fuck out it was great the despair the despair zetsubou shita

Satoshi and Yoshiki end up with 'the darkening' though and Ayumi punches the shit out of Naomi, the end.

The End.

Every character that went in during the beginning dies except Satoshi and Yoshiki who will die very shortly and Ayumi who I guess will just fall into endless despair.

Third Bad Ending Results
Seiko - hung in bathroom
Mayu(I think) - exploded against wall
Morishige - jumps out window
Ms. Shishido - crushed
Naomi - beaten to death
Satoshi's Sister(don't remember name) - killed by Sochiko and hammer mook Im guessing
Satoshi - the darkening
Yoshiki - the darkening
Ayumi -

Of course there's more character who died in the present besides the initial nine but it doesn't really matter.


I really wonder if Seiko or Mayu can be saved but I'm not sure...of course if Mayu can't be saved then Morishige most certainly cannot either.

Hmmmmmmmmmm


I still have to get all the Chapter 5 endings, a few other bad ends I missed, and I tried Extra Chapter 1 but I need more name tags!  I'll have to play through them all after I get 100% in the main story...

Oh god do I love psychological horror stuff.  What's the point in doing anything otherwise.  What's the point?!

Yes I've ratted on Tsukihime for being ridiculous and corny but I finished it and delve into everything related to it, why?  Why would somebody who shows displeasure with something continue to pursue it?  Because it interests him.  It's interesting.  Murder, rape, suicide, nasty disturbing things!  Betrayal, despair, confusion, anger!  It's amazing!  It's lovely it's perfect it's beautiful.  Who could live in a world without such pleasures without such divinities.

I am truly honest, maybe I'm confusing fiction and reality but I really really enjoy fiction I read involving these items.

I've wondered why I found Neon Genesis Evangelion to be such a good show, I had to keep experiencing it.  I read all of the manga and every other thing about it.  Was it because I just liked the pretty 90's 4:3 imagery or was it something more?

It was the tragedy

the failure

the shortcoming

the massacre

And then, I think of Madoka.  Wasn't that suppose to be something really similar?  Instead of mecha is it was magical girl, heck even Urobuchi wrote it who wrote one of my favorites Fate/zero.

But I didn't like it.  I can only conclude it was too cute and fluffy magic-y.  I didn't really like Kyowhiteanimal thing and while I did enjoy Sayata (blue hair) a bit and Homura's time traveling was interesting and probably my favorite episode that's about it.

I loved Shinji's character from NGE (or heck F/sn too), but Madoka was always suffering

Anyway, spoilers aside (heh I'm gonna have to go back and mark spoilers are for real here too) this is how it should be.

Of interesting note is I am also really enjoying my readings of the Haruhi series.  Woah?!  Haruhi?!  Isn't that really slice of life-y and Kyoto?!

I don't know.  I'm half way through book 7 and I have to say Suzumiya Haruhi is a really good read.  It's lighter in tone than almost anything I do but it has the magic touch.  It dwells into characters and has a hint of sinister lining.  If you look into some of the more heavy speeches you can conclude that there are a lot of issues going on behind the scenes and that's what you need for a developed 'world' I guess.

Universes are a very good idea.  Writing series for a universe keeps everything connected and also gives fans a buttload to read.  Everything starts small though so be patient just nurture it into growth so it can do its business...

I've been sidetracked.  This was suppose to be much more morbid in tone!  D:<

Yeah I don't know(no se), this kind of dates back to just my life in general.

When I was younger (like before High School) I just...drifted through life.  Did things I enjoyed simply.  Tried to anyway, I found difficulty in finding what I could possibly enjoy and after I entered High School I was mainly just holding the belief to succeed in life like a good person and not ever get in trouble.  Well high school ran its course and by the second year I was despairing, despair for life and "how cruel it was" because I was bored and malleable.  It was definitely a low point.

But then...fiction.

Fiction.

What is this, fiction.

End of my Sophomore year I picked up the first Ace Attorney game on a whim while getting my brother Pokemon Diamond or something.

It was great.

I started reading Detective Conan at night before going to bed, read pages and pages.  Murder mysteries.

Played all the way to Apollo Justice, this was before Investigations was even out (I would get that and beat that eventually)

Started my anime and eventually Japanese culture career in December 2009 (first half of Junior year, see a connection) with Baccano, again on a whim.  It was enticing.

I never really watched or read anything.  I just floated through life trying to entertain myself with shiny and COMPLETE BULLSHIT argh I could have started sooner much sooner


I've wondered at night, if a man was given the choice of immortality and turned it down I would beat the crap out of him and ask him where it went to.

Why would you not want to be immortal.  Live forever, experience forever, never ending pleasure.  If you're some sorry sap who isn't strong enough to live forever then give that opportunity to me, seriously.  I can make it.


Phew, well I don't know where I was going here.  Guess writing idle thoughts before bed is better than thinking them while unsuccessfully going to sleep, but then again...I will probably think these stupid ideas anyway.

Oh lastly!  I keep editing this and it will probably show, anyway.

I've noticed a trend where I started with anime and now I find myself reading novels all the time, is this what is suppose to happen?  To look into such detail, the detail of words.  It's really fulfilling.

Also cheaper.

This scene gave me huge Higurashi images.  Seriously they look just like Satoshi and Rena, then they're in a school classroom, AND there's a baseball bat!  Maaaaaan.
