Visual Novels

hr is how long it took me to complete it.

a really well written an emotional vn, really good character relationships and stories, technical as fuck as vns should be and will make you cry, probably the one id recommend the most on this list, amazing music as well, it's essentially a one up to IMMHW. though one route has some fanficy issues, which may be part poor translation. doesn't matter better than anything else still. i highly recommend reading hikaris route last.

INSTALL THE RETRANSLATION PATCH a vn about creating a glider, actually decently technical, it's has some good emotional moments super inteligent writing, you will probably cry and you really will have fun, and was the first VN i read very good.

tiny all ages VN, great story as usual from pulltop.

a really complicated VN about someone who washes up on an inhabited island, honestly great story that i don't really know how to praise without spoiling.

a vn about a world with androids and where most of the world has sunken, inspiring and also really technical.

a vn about the protagonist Kazami Yuuji going to a very special highschool, there are 5 heroines with 5 routes and 2 endings per route, the game has backstories for all the heroines and is extremely well written, this is another thing you can really learn a lot from.

the backstory of Kazami Yuuji and afterstories for the routes in The Fruit of Grisaia, would recommend just as much

a story that ties together the plot threads of the previous Grisaia games, exists in a timeline where all the routes basically happened, can't recommend more.

all great, but ultimately not much.

another frontwing VN, nothing really unique about this one honestly, not to say that its bad its just generic, its frontwing other than phantom trigger they release good products.

great VN about people with special ablities, all the routes are fairly unique and well written

larger VN about witches, first yuzuge i played, and it's great.

a VN about kicking ass and taking names against evil spirits.

todo

if you could go back in time 5 minutes what would you do.

happy nightmares, purpleges are always good.

classic VN not much for me to say about it as its less unique since people, have copied key's style, if you like clannad you'll like it.

probably the most known VN of all times, some of the best writing, emotional highs, though. still a bit generic.

essentially an extension to clannad, a afterstory for tomoyo with different ends.

Weakest of the key vns but not bad at all.

Great game series, highly inspirational, well written, and has fun mysteries.

vn about being a chad. but no seriously good dating sim with good writing.

putting the comedy into romantic comedy, i don't know how to explain it but this VN just makes me smile.

Manga

Note Vol means how far i read, if theres no volume number it means i've completed it or its not done in volumes.

a fantasy martial arts, adventure, sci fi, manga that ran for over 500 chapters, created by akira toriyama dragon ball goes from strong kids exploring the earth, to battles on a galactic scale, with actual emotional story telling, and simplestic but honest desires and philosphies you can probably learn more from this manga any school.

takes it self seriously in way other mangas can't, honestly probably one of the best, over the emotion moments, the manga basically has everything good about both animes and more, without the bad, its the definitive way to consume FMA.

good shonen, really well paced for how long it is, and has good writing.

Great manga, continuation to the original dragon ball and minus toriyama's, lack of understanding of his own time travel system, is really thought out, and fleshed out, other than plot points entirely different than the anime, and a hundred times better.

fan contiunation to the original dragonball, great manga, not as good as super but has clever usage of characters and their powers going for it.

TODO: read more.

Konosuba is great ton of great jokes and general a lighthearted, but not unserious story, also some of the better written characters in manga.

pirate adventure manga, good writing and philosphies, insanely well written inspirational, and honestly really intelligent, fantastic. based as hell.

the legendary editon zelda mangas are great, they are all retelling of the games stories, within margin of error for story telling, some changes to fit the format, really helps flesh out the games and is definitely not a boring read.

Top of the lists are the highest rating.

Anime

EP/S means how far i've watched, none means completed.

i don't know how to explain this anime other than, a ultimate inspirational slice of life.

cool "mech battle" anime, that slowly morphs into one of the most inspirational animes possible, honestly it's absolutely amazing 10/10

The anime adaptation of Akira Toriyama's dragon ball is great, it takes everything about the manga, and adapts it perfectly into the anime format, while providing reasonable filler, that only serves to flesh out the world instead of waste your time.

FMA03 faithfully adapts the original manga until a certain point, it entirely changes the ending, as the anime was finished way before the manga, but overall its great, watch it before brotherhood, if you're watching both animes as brotherhood ruins certain points of the story that are best spoiler free, i recommend reading the manga however, its way better.

Seems to be a decent adaption of the manga(note to expand on this once i read the manga and add that entry) really great story honestly, great romance drama, but you can sort of tell the story isn't over, will expand upon if there is another season.

season 1 is great, season 2 is meh, anime about vn creation basically,.

great anime, inspirtation to many, don't really have that much to say.

arranged marriage based rom-com anime, based and great.

funny rom-com anime, probably some of the best animation, and jokes of modern anime.

DBGT is a continuation of dragon ball (z if anime) by the anime team, it tries to be more akin to dragon balls roots instead of what it ended up being late game, ultimately ending with a mix of the styles, and its definitely is a must see

Science; Adventure Series Guide

This is a guide to the Science;Adventure VN series based on this guide for the animes.

Note the patches for the PSVita versions of most of this games are fine.

[NC] means that this entree is non canon.

This is mostly just release order, the main thing to keep in mind is to do C;H before R;N

(You might have to watch the anime over lack of translations, and apparently the light novel series is prefered)

SeriousSeiko who made the anime guide this is based on has other guides for other anime and vn series, go check them out.
