Poll: Katawa Shoujo: your favorite route?

Well I've only done Hanako's, Emi's and Shizune's so far(partway through Rin's), but my current top is definitely(and obviously) Hanako.
A real TearJerker that one. And on another note, there is no ending but the good one. NONE.
NONE WHATSOEVER.

I've played all 5 routes in this order "Shizune, Emi, Rin, Lilly, Hanako" and I'd have to say that Hanako is my favorite. Though Lilly is very, very close.
Which disappoints me because
Which disappoints me because
They were the two shortest routes, Hanako being the shortest for me. Hanako especially because at the point that it ends, she and Hisao are just beginning to have a real relationship.
Liked all of them equally, except Shizune.
Not romantic at all. And the
Not romantic at all. And the
bad path was just plain retarded. Seriously? After Hisao cheating on his girlfriend, the narration just ignores it, as if it didn't even happen, and it turns back to the main path about Misha/Shizune drama, and Shizune character development, but with a random Bad End. And it wasn't even the fault of bad writing, just laziness. The writer simply didn't bother to write a bad path, where the cheating's implications would be explored, but just copied the scenes from the good path, making Hisao sound completely disaffected, as if he didn't even care that it happened.
I played Lilly's route first and loved it. Then I tried to play others, but whenever a choice came up, I couldn't help myself. I always went for Lilly in the end. As far as I'm concerned, there are no other routes. That's gotta mean something...
It's scary how you can actually fall in love with a character consisting only in half a dozen images to express emotion and a whole lot of text. I'm starting to get the whole 2D girls > 3d girls, guys! haha jk
But in all seriousness, I had something like a withdrawal effect after I was done with my first playthrough and then again after my recent second.
Games are a great form of escapism but this one hit me too close to the heart and actually affected and disturbed my present RL romantic pursuits. And all because every girl seemed, for a while, to fall short against the motherly scottish blind girl with an healthy adolescent sex drive.
I doubt I'll ever be able to play another route, just to avoid alternatives to this particular storyline. Even Liara with all the promises of little blue children seems lacking and distant compared to Lilly.
Enough with my otakish rant. It also makes me a bit mad reading about other people romancing Lilly. Really, guys. Stop it.
I'm done now. Carry on.

Also: Hanako. Because HANAKO.
Played Shizune's first and I found it rather interesting, though I then played Emi's and preferred it massively. Pretty much simply because Emi is a much more likeable character (and I liked Shizune a lot too), and I found a lot more emotion in her route, both the bad and good endings. I'm playing through Rin's now (just reached Act Two), and I've yet to play through Lilly and Hanako's routes, so I will withhold from stating my favourite just yet, and from voting in the poll. But yeah, so far Emi's route wins it for me
Did all the (good) routes except Kenjis (because its the fail route) and I liked them all although Shizunes was the weakest for me (still liked it though) so dont really have a favourite each was awesome in its own way, dont really have a favourite scene either I liked the vast majority of it equally. Arent I neutral.
I wish I could forget this game so I could play it all over again for the first time. I also liked their pricing system, very reasonable.

Okay so... thinking about it, disregard what i said.Loop Stricken said:
Whilst Hanako is my favourite girl, I actually think Emi's route was my favourite. Probably because it was my first, and I was entering the VN with fresh virgin eyes, not knowing what to expect.
Hanako was probably my favorite for the romantic reasons, but Kenji's was fucking hilarious. He's probably my favorite character in the game.
