The way he reacts to the lights and sounds at the project deva scene really sells the autism signs from Akuma with all his behaviors. His brand of awkwardness is very autism coded.
1:00:23 "But being scared and being in love...make your heart beat the exact same way! I can't tell them apart at all!" Fun fact: that's actually a thing in psychology, called misattribution of arousal ("the process whereby people make a mistake in assuming what is causing them to feel aroused"). I've even seen some "guides" suggesting ways to weaponize that phenomenon, like taking your date to horror movies (which is technically manipulation, so it is a bit weird to see that as advice).
Melonpan gets its name from its rough surface reminiscent of a cantaloupe. It's just a sweet bun with a crunchy crust, hardly ever actually melon flavored.
While the weeb energy is oozing out of this, it is very cute and sweet. The visual style and the music matches the setting and the writing to make a nice, cohesive package. I can see that this all can be cringy and how people could bounce off, but I'm a sucker for rom com slice of life anime, so this is 100% my thing.
There's in here that have the line "My heart's pounding hard." Fuxk it. "My heart's pounding hard, like he's pounding me hard." - by Me, Chase Beowulf.
i just wanna say i really enjoy these jam game tryouts! they're always pretty cute even if the writing isn't the greatest and as a small gamedev myself i appreciate you giving them the exposure!
"I don't know how can you be afraid of somebody who is this socially awkward, although he is like twice your size" Actually socially awkward people can be very scary, even average sized ones. Imagine an alcoholic drunk husband coming home for example. He might be a socially awkward husband but that doesn't matter. Also watching this LP in general feels very weird to me because it is clear to me that they went for a wholesome, socially inept romantic comedy with it, and Akuma is just a nice guy that is scary because he can't interact with people well and all but he's just a sweet softie so two silly dudes have found love in their life and stuff but everything inside me just screams "Dude! Akuma is totally going to grow into domestic abuser and is gonna beat you up and might have issues finding and keeping a job so you will have to maintain both of you and let's face it you are not gonna be a high earner anyways but you know what? I want this, you should totally go for this in your life, it's amazing and wonderful! And actually I am extremely envious of your fate. Why didn't it happen to me?". I guess it says way more about me than about this game though. You don't have to worry about me though, I'm not gonna be in any relationship ever. It's not my thing, no need to worry about my fate, I'm 30 anyways. 36:50 Gorou: He eats people! Keith: Who would be into that? Haruto: I... xD I know it's not "me", but "I" is close. 37:30 Given that I am a little unhealthy close with Haruto emotionally here I just said "Why haven't you told me earlier that you were going to skip classes? I would have skipped them with you!" but no, the VN went with boring "good influence on delinquent" because that's wholesome I know I know. 39:00 So Haruto you do have a romance manga in there? I do hope it is gay. 46:20 That's it. That's it. I place Akuma one spot below Leo on my top husbando list. Now the podium looks like this: 1. Loken (Soulcreek) 2. Leo (Echo) 3. Akuma (INtSDLbIWO). Come to think about it that acronym is cursed. Still I would love to kiss with him on the train rails.
All the VOCALOIDs songs that I could catch up (Doing this while watching the video): @ 0:00 | 1:16:13 - Melancholic ( Junky ft. Kagamine Rin ) @ 8:10 | 11:13 - Mousou Sketch ( 40mP ft. Hatsune Miku ) @ 46:25 - HIBANA ( DECO*27 ft. Hatsune Miku ) @ 1:07:29 - Darling Dance ( Kairiki Bear ft. Hatsune Miku )
the way i stopped watching this video like ten minutes in to play it for myself (i rlly like vocaloid music and had no clue it was included) great vn btw i love it but to say i was stunned to get smacked in the face by hatsune miku like 3 times is an understatement
19:12 - I find there even being somewhere you can go out onto on the roof strange for a school; don’t think any school I went to here in the UK had any flat roofs.
Definitely based on Japanese highschools. I actually teach highschool in Japan so I was pleasantly surprised how much Japanese highschool culture they got right! I've even been to opening ceremony and although the tough kids didn't crash it, what the principal started saying sounded very accurate haha also most HS here have flat roofs and places for students to get fresh air. Though it's usually a courtyard in the middle not open rooftops due to the risk of kids jumping or falling. So if it's a rooftop it's usually enclosed with tall gates or mesh nets or limited to teachers.
11:29 this is too cute haha. 15:15 I imagine a furry wrld with cloned meats where people anonymously volunteer to have small muscle biopsies done so they could be cloned and receive payment for carnivores to eat. You don't know who it is, just know it is cloned and is considered ethical alternatives. That and just having select few species like fish, bugs, whatever, for there to be something else.
Hearing These Song I Usually Listen To Without Lyrics Is So Strange Sometime, Especially When They Get Trapped At The Gardening Club. I Had To Double Take With My Ears.
That is an anime title if ive ever seen one
They are usually in full Japanese.
Light Novels really go crazy with their titles
You dont know how awkward kissing someone for the first time can be
I'm more surprised he somehow doesn't know
Now imagine with a snout.
This is just a silly VN why am I getting emotionally invested?
The Power Of Furry Romance. It's A Trap We All Fall Into .>~
I've only had them for an hour, but I want a whole series on them 😭😭😭 why must my heart yearn

1:07:36 was not mentally prepared to hear "darling dance" by kairiki bear...
There's in here that have the line "My heart's pounding hard."
Fuxk it.
"My heart's pounding hard,
like he's pounding me hard." - by Me, Chase Beowulf.
I gotta say your VA work narrating these characters are on point.
God every vocaloid song was a jumpscare. What do you mean darling dance is playing in a furry vn
Where?? 👀
i just wanna say i really enjoy these jam game tryouts! they're always pretty cute even if the writing isn't the greatest and as a small gamedev myself i appreciate you giving them the exposure!

36:50
Gorou: He eats people!
Keith: Who would be into that?
Haruto: I...
xD I know it's not "me", but "I" is close.
37:30
Given that I am a little unhealthy close with Haruto emotionally here I just said "Why haven't you told me earlier that you were going to skip classes? I would have skipped them with you!" but no, the VN went with boring "good influence on delinquent" because that's wholesome I know I know.
39:00
So Haruto you do have a romance manga in there? I do hope it is gay.
46:20

1:14:40 - ah, so this is an Omegaverse VN.
31:01 - she’s that top player whose lair the dalmatian wanted to raid isn’t she?
ur so smart holy shuit
The way that starts off is kind of funny
I find it funny that the audio tracks are intrusmental versions of various vocaloid music, and im all for it ^^

2 socially awkward idiots... this is painfully adorable
Day-dreaming in high school math class be like:
your voice acting on this was so good T-T
4:29 - oof, feeling personally attacked Keith? 😬
15:40 - I was about to suggest maybe it was a translation error, but nope, sounds like they literally meant the rumour is he eats people.
48:37
Fresno Heat: 2
Best arcade cabinet
Ohh god ther updating this ☺️thank god it’s not over
Keith! I recommend a finished VN called Hearthfire it is a NSFW VN but give it a read it's a really good VN imo!
Man! I want more of this story. I hope the creator releases a second part
the way i stopped watching this video like ten minutes in to play it for myself (i rlly like vocaloid music and had no clue it was included) great vn btw i love it but to say i was stunned to get smacked in the face by hatsune miku like 3 times is an understatement
Marrow's Personality dating Marrow as a whole
This is so cute, I love socially awkward people who are socially awkwarding
Omg them playing project diva made me…smile/smirk? Or was it a grin. I love vocaloid ;-;
Nice video😙
I did play this VN and it was short , but sweet game . I liked the characters and short love story were simple and cute .
THIS IS MY CUP OF TEA!
Keith talking about faces only makes me think of "Who's Lila?"

It's...quite anime!

Konpeito submitted a game jam game!
I love your enthusiasm when narrating visual novels!
Have you ever played Tennis Ace? I would like you to play it someday. Love your content (≧▽≦)
16:07
He's too chunter brained
Im so sorry for your loss
KEITH YOU BETTER GET US UPDATED ON THIS GOLDEN PAGES
By gods grace i will possess that boy and have that moment as MINE FOREVER
WAIT THE TITLE SONG IS MELANCHOLIC BY JUNKY-P 😮
Yeah! I knew I'd heard it somewhere before :D
11:29 this is too cute haha.
15:15 I imagine a furry wrld with cloned meats where people anonymously volunteer to have small muscle biopsies done so they could be cloned and receive payment for carnivores to eat. You don't know who it is, just know it is cloned and is considered ethical alternatives. That and just having select few species like fish, bugs, whatever, for there to be something else.
Playing a vn where the main character's name is Haruto, coming right off yakuza 6, has to be at least a little awkward lol
It's so..... sugoi...... or something
This has such an early 2000s anime vibes for me 😂
Hearing These Song I Usually Listen To Without Lyrics Is So Strange Sometime, Especially When They Get Trapped At The Gardening Club. I Had To Double Take With My Ears.
That’s a title alright
light novel title
WHAT?! I DIDNT KNOW THIS VN EXIST
I highly recommend another VN by the same person. It's called "What it feels like".
You said "don't play games that have whales" and I, as a rabid Endless Ocean fan, almost got mad.
But I can only assume that's a MMO thing.
This game is good you known because i played it is funny and loving
I want a manga of this!
11:48 - TikTok?
My favorite horror game
A cute furry rom-com VN??? WITH VICALOID MUSIC??? I'm sat
Damn, I didn't think I'd have to comment on Evangelion of all things but yeah. Watch it!
melon bread isnt melon, its just bread :P
Is the creator a fan of love is war?
I ate them !!!
wow okay
Will you someday play zoochosis? It's a scary game, haha.
🧸
They are japanese no doupt about it
3 minutes in and you're already calling out blizzards games and business practices.
