Idiotic Meme confirmed, thanks... I guess.
darykk, I'm not sure if you're being successfully trolled or you're just playing along, but apparently the cool thing to do if you didn't care for the anime adaptation is to refuse to acknowledge its existence. Not something I intend to do because I really liked the anime.
(EDIT: Maybe I should start double checking before I post when I spend a long time composing)
I've gotten a little further in the game (just saw final h scene with arc), and I'm guessing that the anime invented the backstory between Arc and Roa, which may have left those who read the VN first reeling and wondering WTF? Having not read the VN ahead of time, that detail was in no way a source of confusion.
IMO a good adaptation of anything will contain enough variation on the original as to make it a new/fresh experience, and someone having seen the adaptation can go back to the original and see something familiar, but not identical.
Besides, this anime has an awesome soundtrack- not something that can be said for the game...
