Shikata Akiko - Inori no Kanata



The cd is out. Used as the ending for Tales of Symphonia OVA Tethe'alla Episode. Well it's Shikata Akiko, nothing but beautiful music and great vocals. I'm glad I played Ar Tonelico because chances are I wouldn't have learned about Shikata, maybe except from the Umineko anime

Chou Jigen Geimu Neptune

A teaser trailer of sorts at the official game site
A game about transforming game consoles? I'm in!

Nice artwork really. Hmmm, a black game pad in the shape of a cross. A reference to which console?

4 goddesses, 4 worlds. Green Heart and Reanbox? Reference to Microsoft's Xbox? Bottom right has game companies in the form of girls. Which company is which? I think Nippon Ichi is pretty obvious

Black Heart and Rastation is obviously Sony Playstation. White Heart and Ruwii is Nintendo's Wii. Lol. Disc and Processor Unit? System seems unique but sounds tough

Red Muffler is a dead giveaway. All Disgaea related main characters have red scarves or mufflers. But seriously, the last Compile Heart game I played for PS2 wasn't to my liking. Agarest series I'd like to try but i doubt I have time to play it. I'll monitor and see whether its worth getting in future

Angel Beats


To watch or not to watch, that is the question. Yuri resembles Haruhi too much
http://www.tulip-tv.co.jp/research/index.html?TID_DT03=20100409104230 . Angel Beats most popular character? Tenshi and TK by a landslide. In the case of Tenshi, its her white-silvery hair and yellow-gold eyes that stand out. I thought I saw some characters that reminded me of Kud and Haruka from Little Busters

Pick a Mio!!

Somebody grew real fast there. Hmmm, think I'll pick 13-15. Speaking of which, a K-ON game has been announced. Does that mean we get a Princess Maker type of game? Raise the K-ON girls as if they're daughters?
http://www.tulip-tv.co.jp/research/index.html?TID_DT03=20100326150957 . Most popular K-ON girl is a 4way catfight between Yui, Mio, Ritsu and Sawa-chan Sensei with Mio taking the lead

Behind Mio is a Mio(?) with glasses?

Upcoming Figures

Kotobukiya's Alfin Umbrio version. Collected at KKnM this week. Lately Kotobukiya has been doing a nice job. The detail and quality can be compared to some of the better done figures

4 Leaves Kasugano Sora. From what I've seen so far, it should turn out pretty good. I have pretty high expectations for this

Oboro Muramasa's Momohime by Alter. Still wondering whether I should preordered it. Regretting it somehow but oh well, I have more than my fair share of sword/weapon wielding bishoujo figures

Hatsune Miku figure. Looks like VN02 module

Senjyogahara Hitagi by Kotobukiya. Preordered it. There's a Goodsmile ver of her anime poster pose, with her back to you, the weapons (stationery actually) falling from her skirt

Goodsmile's Tohsaka Rin. Pose is from the Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works movie poster. Rin = Zettai Ryouki which means I'll get it once preorder is up

Max Factory's Akiyama Mio. Ah, the shy pose is so tempting

Goodsmile's Saber Alter. The third in the series (4 if you count the exclusive WonFes Saber Lily ver) . Hmm, I wonder whether it comes with her mask

A new Another Century Episode game?!

I see Aquarion, Orguss, King Gainer, Arabalest or M9 Arm Slave from Full Metal Panic, Alto's VF-25 Messiah, eh Crossbone Gundam X-1?, Lancelot Conquista? Albion? and Destiny Gundam. This ought to be interesting. I remembered using VF-1S type Valkyries in ACE3 and Black Serena often

Sengoku Basara 3 July 29!!

Ishida Mitsunari gameplay. Unlike the Sengoku Musou/ Samurai Warriors Mitsunari who uses a fan, the Basara ver uses a katana and Iai style. Extra points for the hair and getting Seki Tomakazu as the seiyuu. I can see who will be my main char to play the game

K-ON Second Season

OP is Go! Go! Maniac


ED is Listen!

Personally I think the songs from 1st season are better, second season has better animations and artwork. Yui should stick to her ED hairstyle

White Album 2 ~introductory chapter~ cleared

OP - 届かない恋 sung by 上原れな

Cleared the game. Game's very linear, you don't get any choices throughout the game. I had high hopes for the game and it didn't really disappoint, except the minor artwork problems like body proportion a little off, or fingers being too long and thin. Music is typical Leaf quality with the usual people like Matsuoka Junya etc. (meaning pretty good and touching music). You also hear familiar songs such as Shinai from the White Album anime, White Album and Sound of Destiny (sung by Setsuna's seiyuu). Like White Album, the love triangle plays a central role to the story



Heroine 1: Ogiso Setsuna. The school idol. Player dates Setsuna after the concert event

Heroine 2: Touma Kazusa. Delinquent and multi musical intrument player. Player's main love interest

Dressed up for the school concert. Songs sung for the school concert were 1. White Album, 2. Sound of Destiny and 3. Todokanai Koi which after finishing the game really fits the game. A preview of White Album2 ~closing chapter~ is shown before the credits. Story takes places 3 years after and how the story places out is beyond me. Worse of all, Kazusa isn't even shown at the preview, just a sentence spoken by her saying how she was no place here anymore. WTF??!! She got demoted and maybe won't even get a route. Damn, I rather enjoyed her part of the story
Oh well looking forward to the second half of the game. Meanwhile Koiiro Soramoyou, going for Kayoko route then either Sera or Mikoto route
