I stick to a policy of only playing one VN at a time, and I'm preoccupied with Kanon now.

She's probably your favourite character because she's the only character so far with anything resembling personality, no matter how annoying she might be. Truth be told, I don't really dislike her, but I still fail to care about her.
I'll still continue watching this show though, for either hope of improvement or just trainwreck kind of entertainment.

Path:
Having watched the first episode, I'm on the fence for this one; I want to like it, since the first season of Higurashi was a positive surprise (nevermind that the second season was criminal in comparison), and the contemporary scene needs strong series after some dire months, but this is so far a disappointment. The OP managed to get me in the mood, but the rest... I couldn't quite shake the feeling that I was watching some bizarre Japanese take on And Then There Were None (the epitaph didn't help...), a premise right out of Faust and a loli that managed to set my teeth on edge (and here I thought uguu~and gao were annoying... I'm still inexperienced  :'( ). The protagonist is somewhat nondescript as well, but that's not unusual for series of this type, and they could've spent more than three seconds on his name... I trust that this will run for 2x episodes, as the vast menagerie will need some fleshing out, so perhaps things will get better.

Still, I can't quite shake the unease that the first episode managed to stir up; while I'm reasonably certain that this can't be too cliché, the elements are all there. An aging patriarch about to receive judgment for making a bargain with the "devil" (witch), his scions about to pay the price for it, an unstable loli just waiting to snap/turn schizofrenic/be possessed by said witch and go on a rampage, etc. If the loli starts to display a completely different personality Rika-style, I might just scream.

Fast release != speedsub.

There's something about the gg release that lacks a certain shitness that speedsubs tend to have.
