I read descriptions like this (From edelweiss):
Quote:
Just when their sex crave was ready to burst out, they found out about the exchange student program to a girls high school in isolated island: A ticket to ride for sex!!
Or this, the current one on their site:
Quote:
How hard would you study if a good GPA can take you to an erotic paradise?
Kazushi Haruma and his friends are fed up with their terrible grades and even more boring school life. Just as their youthful passions were about to burst, they found out about an exchange program that promises to send the best and brightest to an all-girls school located on a remote island.
"An Island, plus women, times free reign equals sex!"
For the first time in their lives, Kazushi and his friends were excited. Utilizing their barely legal, "The Cunning" strategy, they managed to earn the ticket to their dreams and manly glory. Ambition and lust begins to fill their hearts and crotches.
"You didn't tell me about this!!!"
Lying in wait for Kazushi and his friends was an unimaginable environment and a garden of women hotter than they could imagine!
Look, I get that eroges are sex games alright. They are pornographic. But MangaGamer(or the Japanese publisher or whoever) doesn't seem to understand that what's in right now is moe, not dirty trashy horny dudes.
Edelweiss is not a KEY game, it's much more blatantly horny than many other visual novels. But still, I remember it was still much more about the cute girls.
I feel there's a real cultural confusion, and a large gap between what we Otaku want and what certain publishers put out.
I just really feel like those descriptions belong on some crappy pornographer's website, and not fitting for the visual novel medium.
Anyone agree?
Comments
However, I agree that the publisher isn't targeting the best audience when they write up the description. But who reads publisher descriptions when buying a product? I certainly don't.
The Green Green anime really emphasized the horny dude aspect, so I'm not surprised. They clearly want to market their products differently from the major moe producers.
