* BleachedUnderpants: To a minimal extent. All the visual novels come in clean versions, which in some cases are better for the lack of a shoehorned sex scene.

Most of its games have been adapted into animation. They seem to have had overlapping deals with Creator/ToeiAnimation and Creator/KyotoAnimation, as both studios have adapted the same works. In 2002, Toei made a [[TwelveEpisodeAnime 13-episode anime]] of ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}''; four years later, [=KyoAni=] made their (much better received) 26-episode series. Toei's theatrical version of ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}'' – which cut out many of the characters and changed the dynamic to a more overtly romantic story, but was directed by anime legend Creator/OsamuDezaki – came out in early 2005 while [=KyoAni's=] TwelveEpisodeAnime was running on TV. In Fall 2007, Toei's ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' movie – again directed by Dezaki, in what would turn out to be his final project – premiered less than three weeks before [=KyoAni's=] highly-praised TV series[[note]] (directed by Tatsuya Ishihara, the same guy who directed ''Air'' and ''Kanon''… and also ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'')[[/note]] hit television. In general, Toei's versions are {{compressed adaptation}}s that aim to [[AdaptationDistillation alter plot elements to focus on a single plot]], while [=KyoAni=] cuts less out and is [[TruerToTheText much more faithful to the games' stories]]. The [[FanNickname KeyAni]] partnership seems to be over for now, as Creator/PAWorks did the animation for ''Anime/AngelBeats'' in 2010, and the ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' adaption was made under the direction of Creator/JCStaff.

Key/Visual Arts is a VisualNovel developer, usually in the {{Romance}} genre, whose works became very popular in the late 90s-2000s. They are especially well-known for creating heartbreaking stories that appear perfectly normal at first but always contain some thread of the supernatural from the beginning, which becomes more obvious as time goes on.

* NoAntagonist: Generally speaking, none of their works contain an antagonist in some retrospect and even their work does, it's usually very minor and doesn't play a big part into the plot. Anime/{{Angel Beats}} ''does'' have an antagonist, but it's a [[HeroAntagonist different kind]] of antagonist.
