* of the Stars is my absolute favorite anime!

Nice scifi, strategy and tactics and all :) But to the topic:
Not having fanservice is already special, but very interesting is also that in the "genetically advanced race" people choose to have children on their own - all they need is a gene-donor.

In the case of the main alien[*] character we get told (in a side-story) that the father chose the gene of the woman he loved. But the interesting part is that this doesn't make her the mother - just a gene-donor - all children of this race have only one parent.

This is very contrary to the mind-numbing heterosexual concepts that are normally transported through anime (and the rest of mainstream media). The Abh look, talk and behave sexually neutral and that makes it easier to think of an alternative sexuality... as that already constitutes a different sexuality.

-------
[*] A thing that happens in this story is, that the human main character lives throughout most of the story with the aliens ("Abh"), and takes the viewer on a journey to acknowledge, live and admire their style, and thus be able to look from an alien perspective on human behavior!

So I tried the cripple girls but it was quite shitty actually. The protagonist is a total wimp but the girls somehow love her. Tolerating this aspie gets old fast.
Also the writing is really sappy, I mean who says shit like
"I love you, Hisao. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you! Don't go away, I beg of you. Never, ever go away. I love you, so please...!", especially to someone they aren't previously dating at all?

People go read a book instead of this shit, about anything that's been published is better than this. Or if you must have a dating sim, try Hatoful Boyfriend, which is about a girl who goes to a school of pigeons and lives in a cave, it's a total mindfuck. The way it has the weirdest thing portrayed as completely normal, it's like gazing into the abyss staring back at you.

Hatoful Boyfriend looks like it could be interesting.

Rin arc is sorta fun, the rest are probably boring. I read it mostly because I wanted to see what VNs look like. It wasn't all that bad but I really hated the MC's thoughts, he's kind of a douche.

So this is a thread about 4chan making fun of DS. Then it moves to anime called CS which is supposed to show anime with powerful women but as far as i remember the main character (male) is spineless. So maybe its a bit of irony? Then we move back to making fun of dating sims with a mutated pigeon/bluejay. Am i understanding everything correctly?
