Found one right here on VGChartz: "I Don't Have Many Friends Portable."

How is that title not on Vita?

Close enough, I think it's about a kid who owns a Vita.

That would be called I Don't Have Many Games.

You mean I Don't Have Many Games Portable, a port of the Wii version.

Well they should invent a Wii game called "I got strapped together with myself: Duct tape".

Yes. Most of the game names you see are awful mistranslations that are left so you can go lol Japan and continue stereotypes.


Although, Listen to Me Girls, I am Your Father is the actual name of the anime and game.

So is My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute... it just sounds a LOT worse out of context than it actually is.

Found one right here on VGChartz: "I Don't Have Many Friends Portable."

My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute is based off a very popular anime about a very tsundere sister and her bad relationship with her brother. There is a lot of humor and references in the show, but never at any point is a incestous relationship, etc. It's a statement that the main character makes at a point and is said in such a way that really doesn't come across well in English.

 

I Don't Have Many Friends Portable is a direct (and correct) translation of an anime based PSP game (same as My Little Sister....). It's about a group of high school students who create a club for people who don't have many friends. It's really a comedy/slice of life show that I did actually reall enjoy.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

This is a thread about how funny and silly these games sound at first glance. There's no need to defend the games or the mangas/animes they're based on.

You mean "If I Were In a Sealed Room With a Girl I'd Probably XXX".

Yes. Is that one, or is that the actual game?

There is no need, but it's nice to hear the proper story behind them.

I'm not really defending, but rather just giving very basic information.

He literally asks me about how it sounds within context. >_>

To expand a bit on OreImo, the gag of the series is that you have a virtually perfect human being (track star, straight 'A' student, model, etc.) who happens to play erotic visual novels as a hobby. Her brother is a fairly normal guy and he finds out his sister has this hobby. Because hentai and similar things are looked down upon in Japan just as much as they are here, she of course tries to hide it from her parents and he helps. They become friends with this wacky gag that his 'perfect sister' is a otaku. There's also other funny characters and tropes (comiket, maid cafe, etc.) that it uses, but it does paint a realistic picture that while still seen as vile or replusive by many, there are still many normal people who love anime, manga, cosplay, etc.

That said, I really didn't like the show or the main character. Just giving some thoughts on it.
