Welcome to the party bro! Btw there is a girl that has more hours than me XD. Also the anime is ok don't get good till season 3, The books are way better.

Looking at the descrip and reviews, I still can't tell what about it would inspire one to spend 20K+ hours playing it (or even just have it running that long), any more than any other VN / dating sim, but I shall endeavor to find out where this cosmically impossible replay value comes from!

Also looking at the reviews, it seems it is best to play it after watching the anime, so I will get around to doing that first

At first I thought scoopis here was just trollin' my namebro, but then I saw you've been in game 409+ hours the past 2 weeks... so then I had to ask myself "Wait a second... are there even 409 hours in 2 weeks??", so I whipped out the PC calculator and indeed found that there are not even 409 hours in 2 weeks So then I had to see what game could possibly give someone the power to bend space and time to create more hours in a day than actually exist in most of our limited minds, and long story short, came to the conclusion that... I must buy Date A Live :P

brodie go outside

There is no going back! I'm already at 18k hours.

Let me fix you
