Well, as long as people buy trash, trash they will sell us. And sadly this is becoming more and more true for Anim TeamMM as well. While their games are still not as mediocre as Atelier Sakura ones, they're definitely going that path (IMO). In fact the last games from Anim TeamMM remind me of a discussion we had some time ago. Someone said something very true (I don't remember who sadly): More and more developers were jumping to the poll of NTR because it sells, without truly understanding the genre. The last titles from Anim TeamMM feel kind of like that. It feels like they add the NTR just to justify the tag, just as something they have to add to sell better. Not because they want, but because they have to. Their last game is a good example of that. And I don't agree with the discussion about how some people may not like it because it's not dark. It's not about being dark or light, it's about doing things right! And Netorase could be really hot, without the need to going dark places.
[Yuuhoku.] [Netorase] Boku no Tame ni Kanojo ga Asedaku Uwaki Sex Shimakuru Hanashi This is the one of the best CG sets I've read in a while. Now, that's how you do some good Netorase. I hope it gets translated, so people that doesn't know Japanese could read it (although I always encourage people to learn japanese...It's not that impossible as many people think it is, and the reward is very much worth it). The CG is hardcore, but not really dark (IMO at least). But regardless of how it ends (I think everyone is happy at the end), the best part is the progression of it. The lies, the videos, the pictures, the kinky-teasing girlfriend, the handle of the emotional S&M; everything it's done very well. And that's just one example, there are more examples of Netorase done right witouth the need to turn it into Netorare or going dark.
Well, to be fair. Anim TeamMM games have very high production values and there are always at least one scene that is super hot. And if you're looking for happy go lucky swinging, then Great!...But what I condemn from TeamMM is how they are using their reputation and the NTR to sell us their last games...Well, if that sells, that's what matters for them in the end...which leads me back to the opening statement of the post...
