    An “adults only” anime styled VN where all the characters appear to be high school students may be a “rare subcultural artifact” but I am not convinced it’s the type we should be preserving.

      afaik Tsukihime takes place seven years after the protagonist leaves high school, putting the characters in their 20s. Not that that matters to people who are unthinkingly reactionary about anime.

        I quite like anime, but when I tried to look this up the characters were described specifically as high school students. There is a HUGE problem with this sort of thing in Japanese culture generally, in anime, and particular in the various adult oriented anime. Noticing that is not “unthinkingly reactionary”.
