Episode 10

Episode 21

We get awesome names like Valvrave the Liberator..then we get Buddy Complex. Soo according to the trailers it's about some sort of futuristic matchmaking app that's somehow related to fate and giant robots?

.I am under the impression that there is always one part of a VN that devs narrow their focus on, then they feverishly hope that they have enough time to make the other parts catch up. If you do not mind I would like those arts about now.

Finished Soukou Akki Muramasa: Janen Hen, I still have a ton of unanswered questions and while vaguely entertaining how they elaborated on the multiverse approach, I probably put my expectations too high for a fandisc.

Sumaga. At some point I stopped caring about the fifteenth repetition of the same bloody scene, so now I'm just mashing skip and paying attention to the important bits.

Well this is promising, my biggest problem with Chaos;Head was Takumi being one of the worst protagonists I have ever seen so naturally replacing the cast should make things interesting.

I noticed a few things from a bit of research and observation. One is that by name, I cannot associate any of the new characters with any characters throughout the Scientific Adventure Series by name (unless there was a name change or their name was not revealed, as was the case of the eighth girl).

Another is that Yamazue Uki, seventh girl, is not wearing a standard school uniform unlike the other characters and (assuming she does not have a growth defect or comes from a planet of lolis) it can be assumed that she is younger than the rest and/or enrolls in either a lower grade or different school entirely. Or maybe she wants to make a fashion statement.

Finally in the background of the wallpaper there is the looming Shibuya 107 building. This is a play off the famous department store in Shibuya called Shibuya 109 where 109 translates to Tōkyū in Japanese wordplay. 107 translates to Tōshichi, which can be related to a famous hot spring resort in the Tohoku region. What does this mean? The prospect of a heavily censored peeping scene is high.

All Black Lilith games have hardcore sex and/or rape in some form (as far as I know), but some of them focus on consensual sex; Dorei Maid Princess and Kotetsu no Majo Annerose are a few. I have not tried these myself (planning to) but I watched the OVAs and ,after some considerable time browsing the internet, I can verify consensual sex in the aforementioned titles.

Give me the arts. Not Venus Blood though, I dislike how the A-cups look like microwaved sunny-side up eggs with screws in them but they did put decent effort into the character design.

The environs so sexy, a wallpaper of that would be awesome. Also the overview of Afterlife School looks like it's going through the shakedowns that SSS do at the concerts, you know the meal tickets fly through the air and start glowing for no apparent reason.

Spring 2014 sounds fair to me.

I finally caught onto Nitro+'s crackdowns and while I appreciate the good work they put into improving many VNs using JASTUSA, I am pretty pissed at the removal of the 100% Sumaga english patch.

Sumaga. Feels like The World Ends With You or Persona 4, but completely insane. I will enjoy this. Despite not having Atlas fully translate because there is no instant text (as far as I can tell).

Completed Soukou Akki Muramasa. Really bad parts. Most fight scenes were tedious staring contests, which was good for dueling but not for giant samurai robot fighting. Some plot elements like where characters went after the True Ending were unexplained (Raichou, Chief, etc.) some of them lacked information as a whole such as the result of Bartholomew and Bathory's fight (insinuated but not proved) and who the hell is this bomb? I am praying that the fandisc solves these issues. H is lamentable, if anything it's just tool to symbolize defilement/escapism because the "we continued sex" are aggravating for cock blocking when the content was only five minutes long. What is amazing about this VN is that it's willing to make characters step over moral boundaries and the steadfast theme that is not a story of heroes. I stress the fact that the best part is how unrelenting the VN is at brutalizing innocence and characters that are anything but perfect, their redeeming qualities always have something horrendous behind them. It's not a tale for the masochistic though; it has hilarious, cute and heartwarming (THIS) moments when not making humans look like the shittiest hunks of carbon in the universe. The art is amazing not just detail but just how well it fits the characters, Ichijou is the spitting image of a hero. This is a VN I would recommend to any intermediate VN reader, ones that are accustomed to the rough plot of a VN, have some amount of patience and are sufficiently desensitized (antipathy is a pretty good way to get clarity in this one, in fact I encourage the hatred of moral characters in this VN).

Soukou Akki Muramasa: Janen Hen and Sumaga, since I need to find an eroge that's actually erotic and tolerable by my standards.

Twenty-first.

So much action and plot drops, and more to come from the looks of it. Things are getting really good.

Do not watch the epilogue of episode nine, it spoils episode ten.

Well I just found this Ourai no gahkthun- what a shining braves-. I have not even tried it but the premise sounds interesting. However it apparently came out three months ago in regular format (four days in regular download) and my half-assed attempts at finding a pirated version have failed.

Meanwhile I discover this causing me to spazz in excitement then immediately become disappointed.

I'm going to shelf Baldr Sky DiveX for now, since the game refuses to recognize that it has been No DvD patched (I even saw the confirmation) for whatever reason I will deal with later.

Going to move onto Soukou Akki Muramasa, because Nitro+ with science fiction have shown promise.

I finished Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia, it's a real shame that this was a VN acting as the sequel to Fate/ Stay Night because FHA cannot fulfill the expectations set by FSN. As a fan disc it's doing well to satisfy the people who played the previous FSN with entertaining distractions but the story relevant portions felt lacking, because the bonds between new and old characters felt very forced, as well as the new characters just feeling straight up unappealing or underwhelming compared to the old ones. Part of making a sequel is making returning characters play an important role in a new story, a majority of the characters from FSN played a passive role having no actual influence on the events occurring around them. It was a distraction but it's not a decent sequel to Fate/ Stay Night it could have been an entirely different franchise, in fact it might as well be, and have done better.

Also reusing the H CGs from FSN is going to fool no one.

Completed Baldr Sky Dive Two. Is me being wrong all the time going to be a thing? I complain twice about the H and Giga adds the secret files; the route H scenes are still so-so but having more Noi shut me up. I say that gameplay suffers from imbalance; melee is obscenely powerful and immensely satisfying not only to use but also to build, I spent half of the game throwing random moves together and making them work. The interface is also very user friendly and highly customizable, cosmetically as well, even having rebindable keys for all the shortcuts in it's extensive options menu, other VNs like Majikoi are adopting this practice of using common sense when making a game and hopefully other VNs will pick up on that too. The story was just great, . I am satisfied with how this turned out, going to move onto the fandisk Baldr Sky DiveX and hope for more Noi.

I am very disappointed in how Noel fights in the anime adaptation. The only thing she has done is stand there and shoot things, when in Blazblue she would bludgeon them with the barrel while spraying rounds like a firehose.
