Line 3:
* The fact that a single piece of artwork from 4chan, years of work, and lots of internal drama became this.
** Also, when you finish Act 1 and see your chosen girl's cinema.
* This game manages to out right [[What Is This Feeling?|emotionally]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cripple]] [[Image Boards|certain people]] who play even one route. Here are some examples.
** Some 4chan [http://i.imgur.com/by4JK.jpg reactions]
** More 4chan [http://i41.tinypic.com/5owp3a.jpg reactions]
** As you can see from those 4chan reactions, a number of people went to this game to have [[A Date
*** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOGRDuY0DFI Vidya Gaem awards for 2011] used music from this [[Visual Novel]] despite it being 2012 and all but stated that this would win some reward for 2012. Congratulations, 4Leaf Studios.
** This has not gone on unnoticed. This visual novel has such good writing and has affected so many people emotionally to the point that they want to better themselves that [http://www.panola.edu/?option=com_contact&view=contact&Itemid=264&id=368 Professor Don Martinez of Panola College] [http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5462 is doing a study on it]. Yes, [[Texas]].
* Not so much to do with anything within the game, but it has been mentioned that this is the first [[Visual Novel]] to end up on the front page of [[
** At its peak, it made the 3rd top rated PC game and 11th top rated game.
* Within two weeks, the [[Katawa Shoujo]] thread has become the ''second largest'' thread on the [[Visual Novel]] section of the forum.
* Within a day, the [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1054017118/katawa-shoujo-anime-expo-art-book Kickstarter project for the official Katawa Shoujo Artbook for Anime Expo 2012] earned enough money to achieve it's goal. MULTIPLE TIMES OVER!!!
** An update: in the first three days, the fundrasier achieved its goal... nearly 15 times. Yeah.
* What do you get when you take the starting scene from [[Castlevania
=== In-Game ===
Line 25:
* Also, in Emi's route, who comes to the rescue when {{spoiler|Hisao and Emi almost break up}}. It's someone whom you wouldn't expect... {{spoiler|Misha}}! Quite the surprise, and if you take her advice, {{spoiler|she'll be the key to get Emi's Good Ending.}}
** {{spoiler|Shizune}} also deserves some credit, since she told {{spoiler|Misha}} to intervene. If you make the other decision at Emi's house, {{spoiler|Rin}} essentially forces Hisao and Emi to face the issue by [[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone|leaving the rooftop]].
* Hisao gets a great one during Act 2 of Emi's route, when he receives {{spoiler|Iwanako's}} letter. In it {{spoiler|she}} basically apologizes for distancing {{spoiler|herself}} from Hisao while he was in the hospital... but Hisao just crumples the letter and throws it away, declaring that he doesn't care about that, since to him the hospital was a long time ago and he feels that his life is now in Yamaku with his new friends. Seeing him having grown so much and [[Determinator|becoming so determined to not feel sorry for himself]] is a HUGE moment of [[Character Development
** If you see {{spoiler|Iwanako's letter}} as a corollary of {{spoiler|a [[Break the Cutie]] process for ''her''}} instead. It's nice to see Hisao look forward to the future, but not necessarily when {{spoiler|he unintentionally ended up hurting a girl as [[Shrinking Violet|painfully shy and fragile]] as she was}} during these days. Also, Hisao's act is meant to mirror Emi's tendency of {{spoiler|running away from the more painful elements of her past by pretending they aren't there and always blazing full-speed ahead}}. Hisao later realizes this is not healthy behavior, which leads to the action below.
** IMO, the REAL CMOA comes when {{spoiler|he takes her letter out of the trash, reads it in full, and puts his bitterness behind him.}}
