You cant forget about Yume Nikki - I love playing this game its just pure exploration and its really satisfying especially since if I am in an open world I always feel like i want to go to the very end of every piece of land that can be explored before i do any kind of questing and i never feel like I am in a rush when I play this game and theres always something new. And of course you cant deny the wonderful visuals and charecters that pop up. Fans have their own theories as to why they are there and its really fun to postulate on your own and read up other theories.

It's not underrated let alone obscure at all, but I still really love Ib. It's short and I like the concept of the museum horror world, it just has a nice charm to it. Also, I feel nostalgic about it because I've played it over a decade ago before playing it again.
(Picrel is from left to rigth:
Kirisame ga Furu Mori/Forest of Drizzling Rain; Ib/Eve; Yume Nikki/Dream Diary; Ichiro Shounen Kitan/Boy Ichiro's Modesty)
I still want to play Omori, Middens, To the Moon, OneShot, Space Funeral, In Stars and Time, Fear&Hunger and Felvidek, but my list of games to play is so long and I often end up just checking out little games on itch.io…
There's someone on tumblr translating somewhat obscure Japanese RPGMaker games https://tosiaki7.tumblr.com/tagged/game%20translated so I might check that out too…
People have told me to try out LiSA, but I don't find it very appealing… I also played AoOni and I didn't like it lol, I really only played it because HetaOni exists and it's also not that great; I just feel motivated to check out stuff with good fanart… I started playing OFF, but I didn't get far, the pace was a bit slow… I've tried making my own rpg maker game once and it was pretty bad lol, maybe I'll try it again with a friend…

Proust

it's my pleasure! I think if you're into Proust you should definitely read Flaubert, Stendhal, Sylvie by Gérard de Nerval, and Tender Shoots by Paul Morand. The latter two are very short works and very approachable. If you're into theory, I found Deleuze's Proust and Signs to be worthwhile, as well as Walter Benjamin's essay "The Image of Proust." While not directly about Proust, I've found that Bachelard's Poetics of Space can be a very useful tool not only to think about space in literature but also a way to explore our relation to the material world without having to rely on a heideggerian lens.

If you're into the more psychological aspect of Proust's examination of love and jealousy, maybe check out Colette's The Cat, Unica Zürn's Dark Spring, Barthes' A Lover's Discourse, and Casares' The Invention of Morel. And, maybe this is a stretch, but I found the short story "Woven, Sir" by John Berger to be somewhat reminiscent of Proust in the way he weaves art, life, and memory.

Some of my other favorite works are Niels Lyhne by Jens Peter Jacobsen, Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther, anything by Fleur Jaeggy, Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar, and Novalis. Recently, I read The Fear of Losing Eurydice by Julieta Campos, which I adored for both it's construction and it's use of literary history. A truly fantastic book. If you check out anything I've mentioned, I'd really encourage it to be either that or Zürn's Dark Spring, which are both incredibly rewarding reads and, in my opinion, very underrated.

In terms of poetry, my favorite is Rilke's Book of Hours. But I'm also really fond of W. H. Auden, Georg Trakl, Elizabeth Bishop and, as of late, Lorine Niedecker. There are a handful of poems from Wallace Stevens that I've found to be continuous to Proust's sense of the material world being shaped by consciousness, although they differ in approach since Wallace tends to be a very clear poet. I haven't gotten to read a lot of his stuff but "Study of Two Pears" and "A Postcard from the Volcano" are, I would argue, in the vein of Proust's sense of how phenomena are turned and transformed by subjectivity and shaped into something only then effable through art.

I've read a couple of poems from Zürn and, while I enjoy it, I haven't spent much time with it, or read enough of it to fully recommend it. Maybe check it out if you'rPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Omg nona, we have very similar taste. I've read Flaubert (I love Madame Bovary) and Stendhal, I will look into Nerval and Morand. I've also read Deleuze's Proust and Signs, that's what got me into Deleuze actually because I was a bit intimidated before. I found it very accesible and it made me appreciate Proust so much more. I've also been meaning to read Poetics of Space, I have a copy in Spanish but the edition is too small, I might get one in English that I like more. I like Berger as well (haven't read Women, Sir, I'll send to my kindle now) and I always go back to Barthes.

You're the first person I see mention Fleur Jaeggy, I loved Sweet Days of Discipline sooo much, I keep looking for similar books but haven't found any that hit as hard. The Julieta Campos book sounds amazing so yes, I'm gonna read it for sure.

I recently read some Rilke letters (a collection on grief) and found them very beautiful and touching, I lost my grandma recently and they helped a lot. I haven't been able to get into his poetry much, but maybe I'll be able to appreciate it better now.

Very interesting authors, thank you so much. I'll get back to you in this thread after I read The Fear of Losing Eurydice.

the anime was too slow for me so i read the LN. it was a comfy read, but maybe a little TOO tame. doesnt matter though theres a ton of great fanart.

Anonymous 37087

>>30459
I read the manga and I liked how comfy it was, although I stopped when the site had no more chapters for me to read. I forgot about it for a while and then started watching the anime to get back into it.
And damn, I lost it. I lost it at those damn ugly 3D houses, every heckin time they went out into town, the same damn type of copypasted house, like an ugly suburb but in 3d and worse, like, I refuse to believe that such a place could exist even in a fictional universe where people technically have the option to customise a little, to change things up at least kind of, what kind of architect would plan a place like that, is it just lazy? There's no way it was this bad in the manga. I don't mean the main city or the market, but the tall ugly copy paste buildings with zero character in the anime, I just really really hated them and they took me right out of the scene if they turned up in the background.
But other than that, it was ok ig. Just thought the priest was kinda odd and the pacing a bit slow, but that's what makes it comfy ig.

This show, man… I haven't finished it either, I'm on episode 32 at the moment, but boy is it aiming up to be an experience. I don't get most of what's going on to be honest, but it's very unique and weird in an interesting way where you can tell there is a lick of sense under the surface if you dig deep enough.
The duel songs especially, a write-up on the series stated that these songs made it stand out from the other anime at the time, yet even in this age I haven't seen anything quite like it. By themselves they're fine compositions, the inclusion of the lyrics, however distracting it may be to read the two sets of subtitles, definitely accentuates that hidden deeper meaning and makes you just want to go on ohtori.nu's lyric comparisons and get lost in trying to make sense of platonism and geometry or something.
Even with knowing some ending spoilers it's hard to predict what will happen next. A notebook I keep for trying to speculate on that has mostly been filled with some remarks and analysis on the episodes, not that's it's a bad thing, but my only real theory at the moment is that the outro bird is Akio.
Anyway, amazing show. I like what I've seen so far and I'll probably check out the other RGU material and other shoujo in general to see the inspiration and evolution. I'll have to see the full thing to make up my mind on the characters and everything else, so far they're all very interesting, but Juri is pretty cool. Honestly all the girls are, for now the only guy in the folder on my mobile is Chu Chu.

Well, I watched the final episode of the anime series today. Bawled my fucking eyes out as soon as it ended even though I don't usually cry at shows. The knowledge that there won't be a new episode to look forward to at the end of the week feels strange now.
I was expecting something more, but I'm glad it ended on a hopeful note at least. Will probably check out the manga next, then the movie.
Even now I still feel a bit dumb wondering what it all means, so I'd like to ruminate on the themes and whatnot a bit more before talking about matters I don't really get. However, I can say with certainty that I absolutely adored it, it was right up my alley and I can't wait to see how the other installments handle everything even if they apparently don't have Nanami.
Also, Utenanthy is probably my new OTP. I have yet to see some ship as amazing as it and I doubt any ship more amazing exists.

MM for the usual reasons, but also because the world always felt more alive than OoT. I am gaining a new appreciation for TP though I didnt like it as a kid.
>Fav character
Weird since I dont particularly dont care for BotW and totk, but I always found Daruk and the champions endearing. Daruk in particular is very fun and charming, granted I've always thought the gorons were cool…
>Timeline
its bullshit but what can ya do… I do wish we could see more in the fallen link timeline, that Sheikah game Rare was working probably would have been very fun. Also Want the Kokiri to come back as well, always thought the koroks were a massive downgrade even as a kid. We've had 3 games with these tards and we still barely know anything about them, the freaking picori have better lore than them.

Anonymous 36977

I'm old so I love A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask the most. The writing feels like it respects the intelligence of the player more in the old games. I also think Adventures of Link is underrated.

I've played pretty much every Zelda game and the only ones I thought sucked were the BOTW games. I just don't think sandbox games are very fun and the combat/story/puzzles are too shallow to carry the games for 100+ hours.
