VNBC Sn 10 Ep 20 - The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles: I Kinda Forgot That Shamspeare Died
Wow, what a season! I'm really glad that we fixed the entirety of the British Criminal Justice system in perpetuity and that we got a version of Sherlock Holmes who is more of a fun jerk than just a jerk jerk. We'll see you all next time with more visual novel intrigue so TTFN!
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 19: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Trying to Cancel the Judicial System
The penultimate episode of the ultimate game in the series has a last dinner before the final trial and it's not the concluding chapter we thought it was and I'll take one closing look at my online thesaurus before stopping this description. How are we going to take down Judge Jigoku? I mean if I...
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 18: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - These Puzzles are Making Me Thirsty!
Now it's time to play as my favorite playable character. Professor Mikitoba. How this chapter started: This is a sarcastic comment. How it's going: NO WAIT NOW IT'S UNIRONIC
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 17: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - The Body Was Fresh but the Fish Wasn’t
Ok, but I mean, he was clearly singing in German, I don't even know what we're deducing.
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 16: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Genshin and His Impact
It's time for the British Judiciary to eat itself. My, how the tables have turned... and then had a big ol' boot slammed on top of them.
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 15: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Teleportation is Real After All
Well, good news everyone. The trial is over, and once again, we learn justice and science can maybe be best friends after all. Onto our next sea- wait, there's still more game? How long is this season going to be?!
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 14: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - A Water-Thin Excuse
Jim told me about the 9 or 10 things that happened this episode but I centered on this: We met Toby the Dog
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 13: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Jury Divided, Problems Multiplied
In this episode, we square off against Van Zieks once again. Will our wild tangents be enough to save our client, or will his body be added to the graveyard? Find out as we get to the root of the problem!
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 12: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Ok Now Stop Not Attempting Murder!
Thanks to orenronen, we're using Machine Learning to write our episode descriptions. Ahem: AI: I should get back to work. Human: What are you working on? AI: I'm reading Shakespeare right now. Specifically, Romeo and Juliet. Human: Who do you think is stronger, Romeo or Juliet? AI: I think Juliet...
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 11: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Is That A Dagger I See Before Me?
My original plan for this episode description was to modify a Shakespearean excerpt, but you try modifying Macbeth to be about putting your mouth on a gas hole. Better idea, don't do that. Anyway let's see if we can get Natsume off once and for all!
-
VNBC Sn10 Ep10: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles: I Am A Cat Part II: The Revenge
"Why can't I stop not accidentally murdering people?" - the Soseki Natsume story which you can read about on Wikipedia I am sure.
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 09 -The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles: I Call Hairkiri
Wait, there's a whole second game? AND A WHOLE SECOND LAWYER?!!?
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 08: The Great Attorney Chronicles - All Four People I Want to Kiss, Signed, Van Zieks
Game 1 comes to the end of this very long series of games in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Tune in next week when we cover the second and last game, but for now, here's an ending!
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 07: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - The One On The Other Side
Our objective this week is to break down those hardened criminals, the Skulkin Brothers, on the stand. (And by "hardened" we of course mean, "adorable." Ok, ok, so they shot ONE guy. C'mon.)
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 06: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles -The Jury Is All Dogs
It's time to visit the Stars of Victorian Pawn Shops, like the loveable Pop Windibanks and... well, that's it. Don't get too attached.
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 05: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Bashful Bobby‘s Bluffs Beaten!
Find you a bobby who looks at you the way Roly looks at Pat. Maybe not the other stuff, though.
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 04: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - I Am A Podcast
...What do you mean he's a real guy?
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 03: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - And Now, For The Requisite Vampire
Now it's time to save a maybe evil Scrooge McDuck analogue from Dracula and his six jurors/bosses/henchmen. My Castlevania metaphor breaks down here because they all use fireballs, and it wasn't great to begin with but we could pretend. Candles do get struck, at least. Anyway, VNBC time!
-
VNBC Sn 10 Ep 02: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles - Introducing the Great Detective [Redacted]
My dear Dr. Wilson, eliminate the impossible and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the next episode of Visual Novel Book Club

VNBC Sn 9 Ep 12: Raging Loop - Who S*** In Your Oreos?
Sorry for the delay, enjoy this, the final final words we have on Raging Loop, ultimately, a good time for tricking people from a village into killing each other or learning about themselves or both thanks to time travel. See you next season!
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 11: Raging Loop - Abusive Relationsheep
You don't need anything more than a really involved plan and to date someone with demigodlike powers in order stop a raging loop. We're not done yet though as there's some additional content up ahead, but for now... werewolves aren't real or some such.
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 10: Raging Loop - But Wait, Nilbog Backwards...
Haruaki dons his green cap to collect the five keys to save Princess Chiemi on top of Death Mountain and slogging through Kiyonosuke Bog and also Wordplay Forest. Just as exciting as it sounds! Dvac said I should add a line about how the old man is my favorite character and no one can stop so…
more -
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 9: Raging Loop - Ha! Called it.
Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 8: Raging Loop - Dream Goddy
It's time for some next level speculation. The supernatural reveals of the third loop get us crafting theories that are 100% absolutely going to be true. That's it, why bother finishing the game? It's all figured out. Not even sure why "speculation" was used in the first sentence. Just cold hard...
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 7: Raging Loop - Lupin Ain't Cheatin
Hey this time! We're the wolf, baby! Will Haruaki make the right choices? No. ... Awooo!
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 6: Raging Loop - If I'm Gonna Die, I'm Holding Onto My Last Nut
The Rikako route continues as Raging Loop insists on nodding towards being like one-third dating sim for reasons unbeknownst to us. We also learn about spiders and housemaidens and predictably, werewolves kill people. This loop won't stop raging!
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 5: Raging Loop - Captain Do-Over
Orenronen takes us on a deep dive into some of this game's translation issues, and we collectively realize that Haruaki is a bad Werewolf player whose super power is being able to savescum.
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 4: Raging Loop - SLE (Small Loop Energy)
The corruption gets Turbo and Pulla as we're down two people. Can DVac, Jim, slowbeef, and oren survive?! Also Haruaki shows off his SLE when he snaps after like 2 time loops. What a wimp!
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 3: Raging Loop - Skip Plot To Save Time
Here we go as the first loop officially comes to a close, and Haruaki gets an A+ in How To Play Werewolf.
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 2: Raging Loop - Spoilers for Silent Hill 2
On this episode of VNBC we learn how to play Werewolf and Pullahoko's skills are put to the ultimate test!!!!
-
VNBC Sn 9 Ep 1: Raging Loop - Clippy the Sheep
We're back! Again... and again... and again... the gang's all here. Slowbeef. TurboC. Jim. DeviousVacuum. Orenronen. Pullahoko. And we're playing Werewolf, so to speak... or reading about it. Whichever! This isn't just your standard horror VN game with a loop, this one is raging. Join Haruaki on...
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 11: 428: Shibuya Scramble - And Now for Some Anime
We go over Canaan which is an anime-style VN, strange for this game and Heartbeat of Spring, which is Suzune's story, which brings this season of VNBC to a close. Good night, all!
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 10: 428: Shibuya Scramble - That's Not Canaan
We checked the Kana, the pun works. Shibuya Scramble is surprisingly not over even though it is because we also have 3 final stories, amazingly, after the fact. Alphard may be defeated... for now... and we may have like 7 protagonists... so far... but is Shibuya really safe? Can we walk through...
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 9: 428: Shibuya Scramble - It's VirUS not VirME!
Maria needs the antiviral, Shibuya is close to a state of lockdown, the Ua virus might get out, and we need to finish the Four Star Gossip General SOON! How can we do all this? Hell if I know. I got sick before recording and had to opt out early. Can Visual Novel Book Club survive without...
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 8: 428: Shibuya Scramble - Spoiler Alert for All My Favorites
Things heat up in the scramble as more stories end and more intrigue happens. I jumped randomly through this episode to write this description and happened upon Jim saying "Osawa is the worst dad ever" so that plot thread doesn't go anywhere sorry. That's a joke, maybe he finds redemption? Does...
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 7: 428: Shibuya Scramble - Refrigeration Section
I don't want to spoil thing but maybe, just maybe, Osawa gets a banana from Kajiwara. I feel pretty good about avoiding the obvious joke, but pretty bad about pointing out that I did. Look, whatever. It's Visual Novel Book Club!
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 6: 428 Shibuya Scramble: Japan is like Mario Kart actually.
Thanksgiving? We're all thankful for a new episode of Visual Novel Book Club Season 8 - 428 Shibuya Scramble! In this episode: TAKE BANANA. In other words, Kajiwara saves the Osawa story from being absolutely terrible. Again.
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 5: 428: Shibuya Scramble - The Most Interesting Thing My Client Has Ever Done
This issue is fraught with excitement as Discord collapses under the weight of Shibuya Scramble and lots of folks disconnect and reconnect and slowbeef is on a business trip. Can Visual Novel Book Club survive its greatest challenge yet!!! No, pullahoko died of dysentery.
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 4: 428: Shibuya Scramble - Perpetual Sister Kidnapping Machine
We decided to finally give Devious Vacuum a break and to switch things up, we all took notes on individual characters! Jim got Achi, Turbo got Kano, Oren got the short straw and got Osawa, and slowbeef got Minorikawa... which he was really happy about. Pulla called Tama who we all expected…
more -
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 3: 428 Shibuya Scramble - It's Pronounced "Detective Banana"
It's time for the 12:00 block. And everyone may be coming around to slowbeef's thinking on their favorite character choice.
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 2: 428: Shibuya Scramble - Meet Tama and Four Other People
Episode 2 is at ya, as the whole cast opens up to the player but we all just gush about Tama. (“I still like Minorikawa” - slowbeef)
-
VNBC Sn 8 Ep 1: 428: Shibuya Scramble - Hand in Your D*ck Diary and Get Out of My Office
VNBC has returned! Season 8! 428 Shibuya Scramble! Deadly viruses! Deadly kidnappers! Deadly gangsters! Deadlines...! Uh... well, you'll find out in this 24-like Japanese Visual Novel. Devious Vacuum, Jim, slowbeef (that's me!), pullahoko, TurboC and orenronen join forces to tackle intertwined…

VNBC Sn 7 Ep 11: The House in Fata Morgana - Spoiler Alert: There's No D**k in the Last Scene
And so ends another season of Visual Novel Book Club. What will be Season 8's game? Well. You'll have to spam positive reviews to make this podcast SHINE! So long, Morgana from your pals.
-
VNBC Sn 7 Ep 10: The House in Fata Morgana - Shoutout to Penelope
Michel's adventures as a Time Therapist take a turn for the dangerous as Giselle disappears and Yukimasa takes the battle to us. Can our quest to save three jerks from hell succeed? Wait, why were we doing this? Love? Sheesh! VNBC presents the penultimate episode of this season in The House in…
more -
VNBC Sn 7 Ep 9: The House in Fata Morgana - Welcome to My Low Charisma Run of the 11th Century
If you could change one thing, go back and fix one wrong... wouldn't it be teaching some whiny kid whose sister is into him to release a bleed girl from a tower? Project 11th Century Quantum Leap continues as Michel and Giselle in his head try to work that out somehow.
-
VNBC Sn 7 Ep 8: The House in Fata Morgana - The House in Fata Impostor Syndrome
slowbeef joins late to a 2-hour party as Michel takes on Rintarou for best Time Travel Protagonist Undoing Mistakes of the Past. Yes, a TTPUMP. Whoa that on-the-fly acronym worked better than I thought. Anyway, we've got our game face on and are ready to DO THIS!
-
VNBC Sn 7 Ep 7: The House in Fata Morgana - Morgana Said Trans Rights
Welcome back! We missed you... We learn Morgana's story in this chapter as we try to avoid death routes and learn about Morgana: AKA The Most Tragic Nine Year Old In Video Games.
-
VNBC Sn 7 Ep 6: The House in Fata Morgana - I Want My Mortal Body to Have Big Honkin Bazongas
Last Episode, we discussed Giselle's story, and this time it's The Maid! *looks at her chest* Oh yeah, they're the same character.
-
VNBC Sn 7 Ep 5: The House in Fata Morgana - Sir, This is a McDonalds
All the content warnings as we learn about Giselle's story and she had it pretty rough it turns out! But if you get through that part, it goes anime love story pretty quickly! Yeesh. What lurks in The House of Fata Morgana, I ask you!!!
