Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

The point is that this is an Uchikoshi's Wild Ride anime. Is it worth adding to my Steam wishlist in spite of the skeeviness?

I have no idea about how the game plays, but if it is just a straight adaptation of the anime? Then yeah. The skeeviness is pretty much a misdirect.

It's a VN that covers more than the anime, like the events of the anime are about 30% of the content of the VN, with the rest being taken up by alternate paths and suchlike.

I guess it's more of an advertising misdirect? Like, it's presented as a pervy thing. I have the box for the game, and it's got all the female characters in revealing poses but with DANGER tape covering their crotches, etc. But the actual characters and events aren't pervy, and after a couple episodes even if the main character looks at panties, they just don't show them onscreen or anything.

If you're wondering WHY the planet gets destroyed if the main character sees a pair of women's panties... well, that's one of the central mysteries of the show. It's essentially a genre that the author loves, which could be described as: weird supernatural (or seemingly-supernatural events) are happening, but things are very definitely Not What They Seem in a fundamental way.

Like, I'm not going to recommend it as something that unreservedly works, and it's not for everyone, but I liked it.

As someone who watched and enjoyed the show then later played the game, the game is literally just a worse retelling of the anime's story, just watch the show if you are interested in the story. The Punch Line game doesn't have any alternate paths. Any choices you make along the way either progress the story or lead directly to a bad end.

If the bad ends involve panties, that might be acceptable to some audiences.

Also Dragons Rioting, a manga about a guy who will straight up die if he gets a big enough boner (his first appreciation of big ol titties almost killed him as a kid)? He transcended normal men and became a martial arts master, all to be able to escape from attractive women no matter where he is.

I always thought the bit in Bakuman (fictional manga about the manga/anime industry) where the lady with the struggling weekly manga was told by her editor to start including more panty shots in the comic to get people to read it was interesting. They brought in a panty shot expert who specialized in drawing panties to help with the art and give her advice (make them very detailed, frame them like the reader is seeing a glimpse of something they shouldn't be instead of showing them clearly head on.)

Bakuman made me really wish there was more in depth non fiction writing about the manga and anime industry in English, because there have to be an enormous amount of hosed up and interesting stories about the real thing.

Sounds like Steins Gate Elite. I never watched it but it seems like I probably could have instead of playing it.

Not really, S;G Elite still has all the non-true route paths and endings. PunchLine's other endings are more like loving up in Shadowgate or something

except panties I guess

Well, I guess I didn’t find those routes compelling enough to care that much. They were pretty abrupt and didn’t offer much extra.

I was going to say My Balls is actually legit loving hilarious even if it's entirely fanservice parts but then I googled it to jog my memory on when the hell I read it (I think I was like 15? definitely in high school)

and that is sure as hell a little kid in stripper clothes on the cover of the first volume :stonk:

I kind of got the impression that the Punchline guy got told something similar from the start and all it did was make him come up with the goofy pun title and then he got distracted and forgot the stupid fake fanservice after the first episode.
