Anime of the Year 2011-II Spring - Steins;Gate

Steins;Gate is sort of must have anime to watch once. Other firm masterpieces this season include Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. and Tiger & Bunny . Hanasaku Iroha gets a honorary masterpiece which is a high score for a rural SOL anime.    1. Steins;Gate   [White Fox] (Finished 24/24) Tags: Psychological, Time Travel Drama, Sci-F

Sakura Jewel Hunter Review

Visual Novel Translation Status (13/08/2023) Since we have Sakura Bunny Girls released around three weeks ago (Sadly Winged Cloud didn't do female MC anymore) and we have Jewel Bem Hunter Lime released few days ago, I figure to combine both title so we have 'Sakura Jewel Hunter' as the title. For this week, let's just say that it's a breather before Clover Day's releases. On the other hand though, there are several smaller releases along with usual updates, so all in all this week is a belo

Hybrid Visual Novels – An Anatomy of Visual Novels

This is a condensed version of the full article which can be found on my Main Blog Here.   The Best Of Both Worlds?   When talking about visual novels there is a tendency to present the medium as pure and distinct from all other types of games. Of course the reality is that other games influence visual novels and visual novels influence other games in a cycle of mutual adaptation and growth. The most noticeable manifestation of this union is the hybrid visual novel. This bein

White Album Alter Code: F Review

Visual Novel Translation Status (06/08/2023) Because we have White Album release, I'd make a parody of Wild Arms remake (Wild Arms Alter Code: F) by changing 'Wild Arms' into 'White Album' simply because both series have same initial (WA). Anyway welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for this week I guess I'll just say that this is quite an average one with Shiravune has some updates to note. Another thing to note is Kagi o Kakushita Kago no Tori (Shortened as Kagitori) release, which to

Anime of the Year 2010-IV Fall - Bakuman.

Anime in its prime. Bakuman. is inspirational and perfect. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt are firm enjoyable masterpieces.  And Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai is also memorable enough to have a honorary title.   1. Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai OreImo 俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない  [AIC Build] (Finished 12/12) Tags: Otaku Culture Comedy

Anime of the Year 2010-III Summer - Highschool of the Dead

Venus Blood Persona Review

Visual Novel Translation Status (30/07/2023) Welcome to this week week VNTS Review, and for this week since we have Venus Blood Gaia release, I changed 'Gaia' into 'Persona' simply because in Gaia we have Tarot Motif, which if we know Persona series is the category of personae (Plural form of persona) that the player could get. Although there won't be personae in Venus Blood though as interesting as it is, but instead the player will insert Persona Arcana and Shadow Arcana to the general un

90 Days Cupid Review

Visual Novel Translation Status (23/07/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and as for the title I'll tell it in PS later. Anyway as for this week, let's just say that it's an above average one thanks to Nekonyan's release. Other than Nekonyan's release, we also have Cherry Kiss announce yet another nukige and Shiravune has some announcements. Let's see what I can write in regard of this week here. We have From Madness with Love VN release, and what I can say is that the VN is about

Anime Review: Fate Grand Order Camelot

Fate/Grand Order is the name of the mobile game/visual novel/card battle game that has become synonymous with the Nasuverse over the last seven years or so.  For those unfamiliar with the game, I'll go ahead and describe the flow of events that lead up to this particular chapter-turned-anime in the spoiler box below. In the game, Camelot is considered to be the first 'serious' chapter and the one with perhaps the deepest link to the other Fate/Stay Night series in spirit (considering the

Breath of Cassiopeia Review

Visual Novel Translation Status (16/07/2023) Since we have Aquarium (VN with VTuber Minato Aqua as the main heroine) English release announcement along with Tsui no Stella fan translation release, once again I make the parody for Tsui no Stella opening title (Breath of Stella) by changing 'Stella' with 'Cassiopeia' (The ending song for Aquarium, obviously sang by Minato Aqua), so we have 'Breath of Cassiopeia', which is still fitting seeing that Cassiopeia is the name of star constellation

Enforced Play Order – An Anatomy of Visual Novels

This is a condensed version of the full article which can be found on my Main Blog Here.   Directions From On High   The player is a wild and chaotic beast prone to doing what you least expect and are both the joy and bane of developers. This is especially true for any game which focuses on narrative as its core element since there is no guarantee the player will experience the story in the way the designers intended and even more so if there is any form of freedom offered.

The Ups and Downs of Web Novels and Light Novels

I'll go ahead and begin with an intro to my current experience with Light Novels and Web Novels in Japanese.  For the last two years, I've been reading them at a rate of 60-100 chapters a day (faster in the case of below-average size chapters).  I primarily read fantasy with a side of science fiction (no, not just isekai, though I love isekai).  This isn't hard, because fantasy and science fiction make up over three-quarters of all the LNs and Web Novels out there.  This is a bit ironic to my ey

About the steam release

As announced on Twitter and Discord, the release of "Roses Of Love" on the Valve store is very close, as I was finally able to open a bank account. The release date will be decided between October and November, since I hope to have at least Hoshiko's route finished by those months. Now, this may bring a number of questions from the public which I will answer to the best of my ability. Below I will leave a list of questions and answers that you may be asking yourself. Is this the full ver

I'm Gonna Be A Cupid! Review

Visual Novel Translation Status (10/07/2023) Welcome to this week VNTS Review, and because we already have the exact release date for Klutzy Cupid may as well make a parody for an old anime I'm Gonna be An Angel! by changing 'Angel' into 'Cupid', which is fitting because Cupid is literally an angel (Or rather a Love Angel). As for this week, well it should be obvious that this week is quite plain because of the breather after AX, although at least there's some interesting update to note her
