Kansas must really hate me . <| sep |> McLaren f 1 s had weird problems here , most or all of them had the passenger seats removed and carpet laid over them as a fix . <| sep |> Yep ! I totally agree with you Toofty ! NEVER express your negativity to others . <| sep |> The pictures are great ! <| sep |> I know , I shouldn ' t have left them out but I thought the title would be too long <| sep |> hey man , back in the day , scott stevens , rob neidemeyer , martin brodeur . there was some serious star power there . <| sep |> I ' ve finally started reading again and have now in the past few days finished Kara no Shoujo The Second EpisodeNon spoilery stuffCharacters All I can say is that characters that I liked from the prequels became more likable in this story . They somehow grow more believable with their flaws and quirks etc . Even characters that I disliked such as felt more real , became somewhat likable and so on . I dunno , they just felt more human and I can ' t really point out exactly why . Small things like banter , references to things they experienced together , reactions that felt appropriate given what we know about them . Especially Yaginuma grew on me because in Cartagra I just think he felt like an ass that wasn ' t very fleshed out as a character . In Kns 2 was just more believable as a human . is one of my favorite characters now , is extremely hard to dislike . ArtI really love Innocent Gray ' s artstyle . Sure it ' s not very colorful , there ' s lots of black , grey and white , but the details are nice and it really fits the atmosphere of the game . The world isn ' t always as colorful as traditional VN art is , very few characters have anything other than black or brown hair . When they want to make things creepy or disgusting they accomplish that through the somewhat ' realistic ' art style compared to most mongo or animustyle art out there . I don ' t have a problem with colorful stuff , but it just wouldn ' t fit this story I think . KnS 2 also stays true to how KnS and Cartagra were with the extremely immersiondisruptive Hscenes . Sure , some could argue that some of the events are revelant to the plot , which sure they are , but they are presented just like any other hscene . Porny . They feel out of place . KnS 2 did improve a little bit , it wasn ' t super duper random . Still , I dunno . Not my thing . Story wise I ' d say it was fantastic , but oh my god does it start slow . The extremely slow start was what made me take a pause from VNs for a good 6 months , well , that and Dota 2 , Blizzgames into WoW Legion . One other ' minor ' thing was I guess Kns 2 spoilers # s how conveniently every single new character was tied in with most of the mysteries going on . It wasn ' t obvious from the start , but after reaching one ending you started to realize that everything was a Chekovs gun in the end . I liked how the endings were not necessarily happy either , just filled with answers and some minor info on how life continued after that . True end was neato too . Anyway I ' d say that this is one of my favorite VNs . Though I ' ve only readfinished around 16 so far . This is for sure top 3 , if not the best . Now I just need to find something else to read .
