Siliconera caught up with Sekai Project CEO, Raymond Qian, to ask a few quick questions about the company and how they’ve been able to rise through the ranks of visual novel publishers.
KeenGamer: "We have the best visual novels to suggest to you, but we do recognize that many gamers don’t consider visual novels as games. Sluggishly leafing through dialogues, from time to time making choices. Additionally, many don’t like the anime style of the genre. Maybe we can change your mind."
Today Limited Run Games and Sekai Project’s console arm Sekai Games announced two physical editions of Clannad for the Nintendo Switch.
I haven't played the game yet, but i am watching the anime and I have come to the conclusion that it is probably the most overrated anime show ever. I just don't understand what is so great about it. The girls are all seniors at high school and they act like 6 year olds, especially the main girl, Nagisa. She is the most unbearable of the lot. Also, the drama in it is so pathetic and melodramatic that I struggle to understand why anybody thinks it's good. The only good things about it is the main character and his relationship with his dad (something that would have been far more interesting to focus on instead of the harem nonsense) and the comedy surrounding Sunohara.
Normally is Clannad After Story that is highly praised. The first season is mostly use to set characters, backstories and the world. It does a alright job on setting those, but it's not amazing or anything.
Also, while the anime is a fine adaptation. It doesn't go deep enough in explaining how the world works. So unless you really pay attention to the first season, you might get confused by what happens in the second.
I can't really comment without spoiling it for you but it's after story where it gets better however I just don't think the show is for you judging by your comment.
" but it's after story where it gets better "
I'm 6 episodes in to After Story and it's exactly the same. I have seen a lot of people say it get's better in the 2nd half of After Story, but come on, if the anime is meh for 30+ episodes out of 48, then it really isn't anything special.
I just don't get the popularity of this show at all. I'm at the point where I think people are seeing things that just aren't there. A lot of the fans say this show changed their lives 😂 Are these people for real? If they are, then they are as melodramatic as the show itself. Seriously, anybody that gets emotionally invested in this show must have emotional problems.
I heard about the Sekai Project a couple of days ago. Hopefully, I can land an interview with them one day.
