@ Terumi - To give you an example, remember 11eyes has routes? But they are short with a little bit of story and mostly H. We don't call them routes, but pseudo routes. :P. In another way of saying, the routes are too short and weak. Well, actually most of us just pretends that 11eyes doesn't have routes anyway. (Well, the strong point in 11eyes is the main plot anyway with all the action, not the routes)
hmm, let me get this straighten out:
erm, so little story and a lot of H = weak = route? but 11eyes didnt have a lot of h if memory served right
was the animu so bad? lol haha
BUT fortissimo is all plot no H = ??
Well, the routes in 11eyes are just for H only (basically Kakeru goes for a girl > H).
One defining points for 11eyes is the focused writing on action (more detail even than F/SN i dare say). VN = teamwork to win a fight, anime = wut? 1 slash, dark knight dies? wtf? You call that action?
Well, your opinions might vary. Like i said, the story in fortissimo is simple and predictable (which most of us who played it agree). The only character that has depth is Momijii (which is why she ranked top in character poll). No H doesn't mean it will be good plot wise :P.
