Sorry for the inactivity lately, I was at New York Comicon all weekend!
Also, my twitter account is public now, so feel free to follow me:
Approach with caution, I shit post a lot there.
Updated with correct link. Thanks Rawr!
The Quite Fresh UTAU group is brainstorming ideas for an UTAU themed podcast and I chimed in with this as our intro. I haven’t done this voice in a while so I’m a bit rusty.
character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: I unironically and without shame ship Kouya x Torahiko. I’m terrible and loved it whenever those two got into arguments. In general I’m a huge sucker for red-blue contrasts with personalities and Torahiko being around Kouya delivers <3
brotp: Shun! I really love the brotherly bond they have. It’s so cute and I just love when Kouya plays the big brother to little ol’ Shun. I also like to imagine Shun is a source of inspiration and strength for Kouya because of his endless energy and undying optimism!
general opinions: Kouya is my absolute favorite out of the cast. His route was really emotional and hit really close to home on a lot of levels and so I was able to relate very closely. I don’t really want to spoil anyone who hasn’t played yet, but I could seriously feel for Kouya because of the things I went through in my own life and I saw that reflected in Kouya’s arc.

Love ‘em!
character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: I jokingly ship him with Kounosuke because I’m a huge sucker for contrasting personalities a lot.
brotp: That’s a toughie because I haven’t really put all that much thought into it! Though I guess someone mature like Juuichi or Kyouji would help!
general opinions: Shin was the strongest case of making a 180 on me. I was a bit apprehensive about him at first but as I went through his route he started to grow on me and as his cold and taciturn facade began to melt away, it felt really rewarding to get to know Shin as a character. Towards the end of the route I found myself also being able to relate to him! Granted, I’m not a rich pretty boy, in fact far from it, but the whole pushing people away thing while also feeling alone at once is something that definitely hit close to home. After Kouya, Shin is a favorite of mine.

ship with: Ten Kodori. I know Juutora is a popular ship and for good reasons, but I like Ten x Juu a lot more myself!
brotp: Torahiko. They might get into a lot of silly misadventures, but I get the feeling they do really care about each other in brotherly ways.
general opinions: Generally I like the big and shy types, though Juuichi was a bit too taciturn for my tastes. Still, I think he’s an awesome character and he had a great route! In a way, I can relate to him because I’ve been told I act much older than I actually am. I’ve been told that ever since high school, so I can relate to being an “old man” around one’s friends for sure. So yeah, Juuichi much like Tatsuki will go into my super cool dude I’d love to be friends with category.

ship with: Nikaidou, because the idea of a country boy and a pretentious pretty boy going out ensures hijinks!
brotp: Kounosuke, because I think the two of them can really keep an eye on each other.
general opinions: Tatsuki took a while for me to warm up to because I’ve had a bad history with heavy drinkers in the past, so as you can imagine Tatsuki’s wasn’t at the top of my list at first. However, he has many other redeeming qualities such as being a hard worker, being passionate about what he does and just being an overall cool guy. So to me, Tatsuki would be put in the super cool dude I’d love to be friends with category.

ship with: No one in particular, he’s a ghost fae thing after all.
brotp: This is a toss up between Shun and Yukiharu. He’s modeled after Shun and he’s good friends with both he and Yukiharu. In general I think Nanafuse makes a good friend to both of them.
general opinions: I absolutely adore Nanafuse! For whatever reason he makes me really emotional. There’s something about his gentle disposition and honest way of speaking that gives me this weird mix of happy and sad whenever he’s on screen. I think the thing that gets me the most is that he loves making friends but people shortly forget him after every meeting and even if he does it intentionally it’s still very sad. We all need a little ghost friend in our lives.

Wow.. Now that you’ve put it into words, I really hope they remake his route just like that. Everyone hates him just to hate him, I’m glad you feel he deserves more love and interest in who he is for his route instead of just hating him.
Yeah totally. I really do think he has a lot of potential. The devs even mentioned in a recent blogpost that his storyline didn’t have as much emotional strength as the others. In a lot of ways Kounosuke has the most potential to have an extremely emotional heart-rendering plot exactly because you wouldn’t expect it from someone like him. They could also explore his feelings as an older brother watching his younger brother grow up. There’s a lot they could’ve done but didn’t and it’s really unfortunate.

ship with: Who else except Oowada?
brotp: Fujisaki
general opinions: One of the things about Ishimaru is that even though he’s a caricature of someone who values order and rules above all else, I found him strangely relateable at times because I’ve found myself many times in my life where I was surrounded by people I found extremely reprehensible and doing as they please without understanding the consequences of their action. So yeah, I think Ishimaru is pretty cool.

ship with: This is a toughie! But I have this crack pairing idea of him and Shin because I find it hilarious in my head when two utterly contrasting personalities argue. Though I don’t know exactly who I would ship him seriously with.
brotp: Tatsuki. I think a good nurtured friend like him can keep Kounosuke in check…at least when Tatsuki isn’t drunk.
general opinions: Okay real talk. Kounosuke tends to be the most polarizing character in the game and most of the time people don’t bother critiquing his route, instead they choose to hate directly on him. Ostensibly, it’s because he’s annoying and irresponsible, but I think truly a lot of people hate him because he holds a mirror up to them and reflects parts of themselves they reject. I really like Kounosuke personally because he reminds me of some friends I’ve had in the past who are all people with good hearts.
I really hope he gets a rewritten route. For example, they could’ve used the fact he wasn’t so good at exams as a way to explore Kounosuke as someone who isn’t conventionally smart. I feel Kounosuke is smart, just in other ways like one would see described in Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence. I would’ve liked to see his route go in a direction where you help him discover he isn’t some one dimensional ditz, but rather someone with a ton of potential as a lover and as a person.

Not exactly! The poll in question was a populist poll, not a scientific one nor a decision by the IAU. People are claiming it was NASA poll but it was simply a vote given to an audience. So no, it hasn’t been given planetary status again.
That said, if Pluto ever somehow becomes reclassified as a planet, cool, but for now it isn’t a planet and it being reclassified isn’t likely. Pluto only meets two out of the three criteria needed to be a planet. It doesn’t clear it’s orbit of other objects and I wish people would understand the science behind it before going on with “But it has an atmosphere!” and “But it has moons!” which while impressive, do not matter in it’s classification.
