Heh, unfortunately that particular part--and all of the nudity, really--is merely described, not shown. The art is mostly static poses of the characters with different facial expressions. (Battler does get the OBJECTION! pose, but most of the others just stand still all the time.) The devoured-by-goats thing, though, is almost creepier that way--you'll just have to wait and see. *g* Also, the VN takes crazy-long to get through the first round, because it bothers to give background and personality to all the characters. Just thought you should know.

Yes, but it's *there*. It actually happened in the canon. That is a luxury I am not used to.

I like the sound of that, actually. I quite like the cast; it'd be nice to have an opportunity to get to know them better before half of them get their heads caved in. Also that means that they payoff is better when people do start getting killed. There is emotional impact and such!

Oh, there's some very interesting canon, to be sure. :D If power dynamics are your thing, then hoshit is this the series for you...

Indeed! Not to spoil, but there are some relationships that greatly benefit from being given actual backstory, and the adults in general are much more interesting when you can remember their names. Another bonus of the VN is the music--the anime has the same stuff, of course, but it's quieted down to make room for the dialogue, whereas in the VN the music and occasional sound effect are all you get, and it's much more effective that way. I may or may not tend to dance in my seat whenever the Battler Has Actually Made A Good Point theme starts playing. >.>
