    Parfait ~Chocolat Second Brew~ is the only masterpiece this month. I'll try to find some merit in the less known game MERI+DIA ~Maria Diana~
    1. Blue Flow ブルーフロウ [050304] Kogado Studio

    You can't learn the value of piece unless you experience war. World war breaks out after hundreds of peaceful centuries. The starting point is invasion of Allied Planetary Forces to the planet Nectal controlled by the Earth government. The defenders put up a fierce fight using giant robots as main weapons. Main character gets trapped with his two friends during this invasion and is saved by the giant robot unit with 14 female soldiers as operators. Boys take this chance to join the defense forces. But outside the battle machines pilots are just frail girls with youth complexes and problems. Genre is RTS limited to battles. The mix of tactical parts and girl events is nothing new, we've seen it all in many games starting from Foxy. But really - 14 heroines for capture? Developers must be very proud of the gameplay part to repeat the game so many times.  
    2. Samurai Jupiter 侍ジュピター [050304] Mosaic

    Main character returns to his home town for the first time in many years. He helps Jupiter to repel enemy attack and gets involved in the struggle. Every day is different in the company of mysterious classmate Waruru and girl Rikako who Jupiter brought from the future. What awaits him? Scenario is short and branches off early. Heroines' drama is laughable. Game has a good share of insult scenes. Volume is too low and H oriented to talk seriously about this game.  
    3. Tantei Jinguuji Saburou Series No.06: Rokumai no Hankou 探偵 神宮寺三郎 Series No.06 6枚の犯行 [050309] WorkJam

    A famous photographer asks her daughter to be guarded. The day after Jinguji Temple was laid, a murder occurred in the apartment where Sayaka Kuju was located. The series does not need explanation.  
    4. Gadget ガジェット [050311] Black Rainbow

    You're playing as an average schoolboy. He's the usual bright and cheerful fellow, and hangs out with his best friend and fellow classmates. He now lives with his cousin since the death of his parents. Turns out the cousin is some kind of inventive genius... Only one heroine remains a loli after growing up, so I'll let it slip. There are three periods in the game - childhood, school and grown-ups. First two parts feature bright romantic development while the final one is a devilish one. First two parts proceed as a royal road. There are 5+2 heroines able to develop in two ways, so there are 14 heroine archetypes overall. The text is good and overall feeling is satisfactory, but game does not feel special.  
    5. Kimi ni Tomoru Hi 君に燈る灯 [050318] Emu

    After quitting a job he's been working at for a few years, the protagonist, Kaito Akutsu, wandered to a small town named Otaru in Hokkaido. "What is it that I want to do...."
    Being sick of the city life, the protagonist fled his hometown. There's no particular reason for picking Otaru. He simply headed off to Hokkaido after deciding to leave; Otaru is simply town that the ferry arrived at by chance.
    Not knowing where to go, the aimless protagonist starts a new life in this town with a mysterious atmosphere. While looking for a way to make a living, 3 mysterious girls appears in front of the protagonist and offers him a job. This encounter forever changes the protagonist's destiny. Atmosphere is the selling point here as each of three heroines has a serious dramatic story behind their backs. Quiet, relaxing, romantic. It's a small, but delicate and beautiful love story.  
    6. Tantei Kibukawa Ryousuke Jikentan The Masquerade Lullaby 探偵・癸生川凌介事件譚　仮面幻影殺人事件 [050324] Genki

    A detective and his agency is tasked with solving murder mysteries across Japan. Console detective novels is not my thing at all.  
    7. Angel Type [050325] minori

    A "minori feat. Aeris" interactive novel. Fujishiro Nao had to drop out of school and stay in hospital for a while due to a mental breakdown. After getting better, he now attends to an evening school.
    This story is about his experiences meeting three girls that are wounded like him. Maybe in each other, they can find the cure for the loneliness and sorrow they felt so deeply... Brand Aeris dissolved just before releasing this work, so minori is basically publisher, but not developer. Game boasts of unusual and unique atmosphere. There are four heroines each having a story about one and a half hours long including bad endings. The process leading to confession scene is super short and thus unsatisfactory. H events can issue tears at best. With such volume and art it's difficult to expect anything better.  
    8. Aoi Sora no Neosphere 蒼い空のネオスフィア [050325] Kuma-san Team 1

    A sequel of Tristia of the Deep-Blue Sea from Kogado Studio(Kumasan Team). Set in the Neosphere kingdom that fly in the air by ancient E technology. Neosphere kept going to ruin after world union war. And then, Nanoca was called to rebuild the kingdom. There is a small English review.  
    9. Maou to Odore! - Legend of Lord of Lords 魔王と踊れ！─ Legend of Lord of Lords [050325] catwalk 1

    You wake up in your room and find a woman, whom you don't know, standing there. She says that you are the reincarnation of her liege. The Demon Lord who was sealed away centuries ago by the goddess of the land. She tries to give your memories back but fails and gets upset. Then she decides that to awaken you, she must take you to the places where parts of your sealed power should be. Threatened by her, you follow her. In the first dungeon, you save a priestess who thinks you're the Messiah coming to save the lands from evil... There is a small English review.  
    10. MERI+DIA ~Maria Diana~ MERI+DIA ～マリアディアナ～ [050325] Palette

    Main character is an agent of a space development company. He receives a task from his assassinated boss to attack a certain laboratory and destroy girl Theta who represents an important research. He executes this will, but only escapes with the girl instead of killing her. Organization issues a bounty for their heads, but Theta has a strong determination to follow protagonist.
    Three bounty hunters set a trap, but one of them is saved by protagonist in the end, so they form an alliance. There can't be peace until new organization boss is defeated. But what secrets does Theta hide with her silence? Should I even mention that I'm reviewing this game? It must be clear as day by now.  
    11. Parfait ~Chocolat Second Brew~ パルフェ ～ショコラ second brew～ [050325] Giga 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

    Six months ago, Takamura Hitoshi watched Famille, the cafe his deceased brother established, go up in smoke. The employees and the memories they shared might have survived, but without a building there can be no cafe; Hitoshi and co. are left with no choice but to abandon Famille. But as luck - or perhaps fate - would have it, Hitoshi gets a second chance when he receives a phone call from a new mall asking him to open a branch of Famille inside their building. Hitoshi can't refuse the offer to carry on his brother's will, and after a few twists and turns a new Famille is born with Hitoshi as the manager.
    Of course, life never quite goes that smoothly. Things are a mess both in the kitchen and on the floor because two key staff members refused to return. Hitoshi himself had to take a break from college in order to make opening the new cafe a reality. But perhaps the biggest problem of all is staring Famille right in the face - Curio, the popular cafe that Famille was "inspired" by in the first place, happened to open a branch in the same shopping center directly across from Famille...
    And thus the new Famille's battle for survival begins. Over ten reviews for an untranslated Giga game? World must have gone mad.  
    12. Sengoku no Imouto Shichinin no Imouto 戦国の妹　七人の妹 [050325] Ja no Michi wa Hebi Soft 1

    Your village asked you to go and hire bodyguards to protect it against the bandits, so you went with your younger-sister-like-childhood-friend Suzu-chan and hired six (technically five) people, all girls. When you came back, the villagers become suspicious of those people they didn't know, even more since they were all females and they couldn't imagine them being bodyguards at all. In the end, you lied and persuaded the villagers that the girls were in fact... your sisters, whom your father left everywhere... (your father had such a reputation...) There is a small English review.
     
    13. Usotsuki wa Tenshi no Hajimari ウソツキは天使のはじまり [050325] Saga Planets

    Main character miraculously survives in several certain death situations. He starts to see invisible to other people angel and demon fight each other at such times. Both angel and demon become weakened due to human awareness about them, so they decide to live together with protagonist till their powers restore. There are five heroines overall including our celestial friends who  exist mostly for H events. Genre is absurd comedy. The development is vague and not really explained. The London trip feels especially uncalled for as it fits within the story poorly. Writing lacks power. There are too many irritating factors to enjoy the game.  
    14. Virginia ~Hontou no Sekai~ バージニア ～真実の未来～ [050325] Unicorn-A

    Main character is a captain of knights returning with his subordinates to their kingdom after winning a tournament. Their vehicle gets attacked on the way while horizon gets dyed with fire. What's happened to their kingdom during their absence? Game is an RPG with easy battles and insult scenes at defeats and some wins. Bad ends are actually hardest to see since it's very difficult to lose. Neither gameplay nor H events are decent enough to recommended here.  
    15. Virgin Snow Ura ~Yukifuru Oka de Anata to~ Virgin SNOW　裏～雪降る丘であなたと～ [050325] Runrun Soft

    In addition to remastered previous game content and full voicing there is new male main character perspective in addition to Mizuki Narumi perspective at former female perspective scenes. Cool story, bro. But not good enough reason to discuss an alternative version of the old game.  
    16. Yunohana ゆのはな [050325] Pulltop 1

    On his winter vacation away from University, Kusatsu Takuya was travelling around on his motorcycle with his guitar when he lost control outside the rural town of Yunohana and crashed into a small shrine on the side of the road. When he regained consciousness, a strange looking girl was floating in the air above him. With a smile on her face, she introduced herself as Yunoha, the guardian of this area, and told Takuya she has healed his wounds with her powers. In order to repay Yunoha for "saving his life", Takuya has to take care of the repair fees to fix the shrine - a grand total of about 2,350,000 yen. Now Takuya has no choice but to head towards the town of Yunohana to find a job, where this heart-warming fairy tale of winter unfolds... There is an English review.  
    17. Kono Hareta Sora no Shita de この晴れた空の下で [050331] Cromwell 1

    The game takes place in the near future where so-called "Mimic" robots work in place of humans. Playing as Reichi Kuroha, a member of a government investigation team, your job is to investigate the mysterious suicide of a Mimic -- a strange occurrence, since Mimics are not supposed to kill themselves. The game includes a number of heroines, both Mimic and human, with whom you'll get involved as the story progresses. The story is frustrating with all development clustered in the end. It's something between a fine and a bad work suitable probably only for SF enthusiasts.

  2. kivandopulus
    Foreword: It's a C's Ware game and these guys have not let me down even once. Unlike Re-Leaf which has quite a clear synopsis and multiple endings, this work is much more mysterious. I thought I'd get just another rural slice of life with some side mystery, but what I got was an ancestor of Cross†Channel with a global anomaly and looped story.
     
    Title: Kazeoto, Chirin (I'd translate it as "Sound of bells in the wind")
    Developer: C's Ware
    Date: 1999-09-10
    VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v4332
    Length: That's tricky. Some 5 hours for first playthrough, plus some 4 hours more to get other routes to the end. It actually took me more that 15 hours due to a complicated walkthrough and confusion of the true routes.
    Game type: Global mystery rural story.
    Difficulty: Medium when you get  how it's organized. For me it was very high since even choosing locations in wrong order can lead to falling out of heroine route.
    Synopsis: Satoshi, the protagonist, and his best friend, are both college students who came back to their old town to spend their summer vacation. But residents suddenly start to disappear without any reason. The most optimistic versions are that people are being spirited away or aliens abduct humans or that an ogre comes down from the mountain or that yakuza sell people into slavery because of debts. Hero does not care till the closest people to him start disappearing as well.
    Structure: Game takes place for 8 days from July 31st to August 8th when the Obon festival is held.
    Character Design rating: 8/10
    Protagonist rating: 7/10
    Story rating: 9/10
    Game quality: 8/10
    Overall rating: 8/10

    Rating comments: It's a good game with great atmosphere, main idea and nice events. But heroines aren't charming enough. Out of six heroines I liked only Ageha, because she's a diligent student, hard-working keeper of a boarding house, loving older sister of Kanako and tsundere-ish at the beginning and very reasonable later on. Protagonist is a university student, but he's quite passive and he does not care about disappearings till his friends get missing, so it's a minus for him. Game quality is high, but I had to undergo through a lot of repetitiveness since heroines don't have their own routes and the difference is mainly just in several choices. If you watch my video walkthrough, you won't see that repetitiveness since it's cut there, so I hope you get to like this game even better.
    Protagonist: Satoshi-san is your ordinary megane university student. As he admits himself, he just goes with the flow and never really gives attention to studies. When Ageha asks him to help with the university summer homework on maths, Satoshi says he's in humanitarian division and that he "avoided" math entrance exams to the university somehow. And he has amnesia and is trapped in the eternal loop of 8 days, so he has all kinds of memory flashes all the time which does not help to concentrate on something. To the left is Satoshi and to the right is his brother Bozo (such is name when he's called in game) which i ended up calling Boshi and synopsis writer on VNDB called him Takeshi. Bozo is more of a playful type. He's fast to know the news and always eager to help.

    Characters: I wanted to talk about heroines in bulk, but there's no good joint CG, so let's run through them separately. First of all, there are no separate character roots. Secondly, there are no romantic feelings at all here - all H events happen on August 6 out of desperation of two last people in the world. Six main heroines routs are paired by two: sisters Ageha+Kanako, sisters Satomi+Shihori, nurse Midori+patient Ayane. It's difficult to call even those branched routes separate ones since the flow is the same aside from several events and the people who get to disappear first.
    Ageha is a diligent university student, keeper of a boarding house and a kind sister to Kanako. She's depicted as an angry comic person in the beginning of the story since Satoshi has not payed for the stay for quite a long time, but she gets to be the most attractive character for me - responsible, intelligent, kind.

     
    Kanako is a school student, but she runs the soba dining hall almost by herself. She's cheerful and childlish.

     
    Ayane is the most mysterious person since unless we follow her route we get to see her just once occasionally. She visits the local doctor since she's having pains, but the doctor claims that those are psychological ones after the death of her husband. She's the oldest of characters and she has a complex about here age - she even calls herself obaasan. Well, but she's the most experienced one and she's actually quite a nymphomaniac.

     
    Midori is the nurse in the local hospital. Since she's the most typical character, the writer really tried to pull her out of her role giving her lots of very nice events (in the sunset etc) outside of her working clothes, in casual - at those times she's cheerful and likes to set pranks.

     
    Satomi is Satoshi's cousin. She's always together with Shihori and they have the coolest CG together. Again, the writer tried to give her traits discerning from her sister. So Satomi is cheerful, creative, and workaholic, but she's quite irrational.

     
    Shihori is Satoshi's cousin. The more rational of the two, but she hates cooking and working - more of a city girl. Together with sister they came for several days to rest and see their cousins and their theme is to get out of the town as soon as politeness allows.

     
    Hibiki is the joker of the game. She only appears on sunset before the end of the day to say some cryptic stuff about the time, the universe etc. Her route is the true route that opens up after clearing all the six heroines. A lot of questions are getting answered in it, so any additional information would be a spoiler.

    Story: Satoshi and Bozo don't have real plans. They just wander around the town that's very ordinary rural town without any discerning feature. There's an Inn, a Soba shob, a souvenir shop, a marketplace, a river bank, a bridge, a clinic, a shrine, a bus stop, a small square with a bronze statue and that's it. Then their cousin sisters arrive and they get a full-scale investigation of the time once more. Here and there there is information that some people get missing, but it's usually neglected as people might just go to hot springs or somewhere. Then their important person disappears (who - depends on route) and start searching around. Eventually everyone disappears but Satoshi and one girl by the day of the Bon festival and after visiting this spirit festival the world resets. That's the loop that keeps on repeating. Composition-wise Cross†Channel is better since the hero works towards getting out of the loop by trying to remember things or writing them down in the diary. Here Satoshi is the same each time - first he's pulled in some merry adventures and then he's on the brink of despair. Through next five routes it's monotonous gameplay since very few events change and there's a lot of movement on the map, so skipping is not fast. Hibiki route that comes with everyone cleared finally puts some dots and breaks the loop without any active actions from Satoshi side. Thus Cross†Channel wins by all the parameters - the charm of characters, the humor, the protagonist, but it is a perfect 10 by my standards, but it came four very saturated years later and had some predecessors - including this work - to fix its flaws.

    CG: Well, I loved its CG. Heroines are gorgeous there. Best to see for yourself.
    HCG: What I appreciated was that every heroine got only one H-event (with some exceptions) - in the end of her branch. Those events are short and involve mostly talking in the beginning and in the end so it's the best type.
    Sound: Full voicing except for Satoshi protagonist. Just as in Chiruhana the tunes in the first half of the game are absurdly merry, some sound like parade ones. And C's Ware still can't get sound volumes even since both BGM and Voice for different occasions differ a lot.

    Themes and Symbols:
    1) Unfortunately there's nothing deep in the main theme of the game - that's just remembering the truth about his deceased mother and thus breaking the loop. Well, there is some cool twist in it, but I won't spoiler.
    2) What's much cooler is the mystic atmosphere that's created. There are sounds of bells heard all of a sudden in this town - some say it's the air, some invent more fancy explanations like plazma. And at some point it gets clear that each time the bell rings a person disappears and then it gets scary. This goes very well wit the Obon festival theme - the most pagan and spiritual festival celebrated. There a lot of impact in spirits roundelay. And when your heroine gets sucked it in it's horrifying.
    3) There is a bridge in the town. When Satoshi asks what's on the other side of it - noone can answer. Well, that's weird, but we get to forget about if till the situation with the disappearings gets critical. There's a great scene when Satoshi and Bozo set off through the bridge... and the bridge ends and beyond it there is nothingness. Just insane. What's happening? Is this world not real? AM I ALIVE? That's just a wonderful mindscrew.
    4) But the deepest theme is quite unnoticeable. It's when doctor says that he wants this damned rural town to disappear with all of the inhabitants. This hate grew strengthened  in him each day. He wanted to break free of it, but was forced by his parents to return after studying. He even had a girlfriend in Tokyo and they had to divorce because he needed to return to this dump. And this is scary, because it's a social reality. Japanese society in some places remains quite archaic. Oldest son has to inherit the house and even the profession of the father and devote his life to whatever miserable life his father had. Well, in case of this game it was not the Doctor who was the source of the disapperings and notes it himself - at first only outsiders and tourists started to disappear and if it was in his power the whole basis of the town should have rot with its core inhabitants.
    Overall comments: This game is very good. It has very nice characters, great global mystery and unique strong atmosphere. It's not an S-class work like Eve:Burst Error, but this little cursed game is definitely a masterpiece for me, something that has an ability create memories.

  3. kivandopulus
    Remember11 -The Age of Infinity- is VN of the Month. Symphonic Rain is an honorary masterpiece. I got tempted by Japanese reviews praising story of Sora-iro no Organ , so I took it for review.
    1. Oshikake Princess おしかけプリンセス [040305] Giant Panda

    Warring states era.  Local daimyo Asakawa is killed in an enemy state assault. His real daughter manages to secretly escape with five vassals. But she fails to give birth to a boy, and hopes for house revival remain only hopes. When boy with Asakawa blood finally is born, it's already modern times. The descendants of the largest five vassals are all girls studying at one school. It's finally the time to fix historical injustice! The setting looks super funny to me. But since girls are vassals and not rivals - they all easily start to live under one roof together. The individual scenarios are above average, and history parallels are thought of seriously. The whole revival thing gets lost as individual scenarios start, but there's no clear emphasis on either scenario or routes. Most of game's elements are good, but there's no integrity to produce an impact.  
    2. Remember11 -The Age of Infinity- [040318] KID 1 2 3 4 5 6

    Fuyukawa Kokoro, a third-year sociology major, boards a plane bound for Hokkaido to meet a research subject in the Specified Psychiatric Hospital for Isolation and Aegis, or SPHIA. For unknown reasons, her plane crashes in the mountains in the middle of a snowstorm. Of the 31 passengers, only she, Kusuda Yuni, Yomogi Seiji, and Mayuzumi Lin survive unharmed. Unable to establish communication with the outside world due to the fierce snowstorm, the four decide to take shelter in an empty cabin and wait until the storm passes. Yukidoh Satoru, a graduate student in the field of quantum physics, falls from the SPHIA clock tower. He later awakens with some memory loss and the realization that someone is out to kill him. Unable to leave the SPHIA facility due to a snowstorm, Satoru's only chance at living is to find that person among the three other residents (or perhaps the hidden culprit) of SPHIA.
    Shortly after, Kokoro and Satoru realize that they are somehow exchanging bodies and Yuni appears to be at both of their locations... There are English reviews.  
    3. Angel Maid エンジェルメイド [040319] Carriere

    Main character wakes up in an unfamiliar house and with no memory. He is taught the work from the maids and starts to work on a regular basis. However, his judgment ability is lacking and he ends up creating more work for the maids to tackle. He spends his days in such activities while trying to regain his memory... Scenario is a mess, mostly for maid-lovers... H element is strong. Even a small mistake leads to a bad ending, but you need to get to the end to learn it  
    4. Fortune Cookie フォーチュンクッキー [040319] Smart

    Main character is an ordinary boy with a pretty face. Mother is extremely unlucky, so it's elder sister who supports the family. One day mother gets premonition of "a great misfortune" during next month. Is it possible to avoid it? Can it really get even worse? Full-scale incest game with mother and two sisters. There is a complex explanation of family circumstances in order to show it as non-blood related incest. There are 7 to 10 H scenes for each heroine, which is A LOT for a pure love game.  
    5. Happy Planning ~Shiawase no Souwa~ Happy Planning～しあわせの総和～ [040319] Juno

    The amount of happiness on the Earth is always kept constant, and becoming happy makes a lot of people unhappy. So says the cheerful childhood friend of main character.  Protagonist loses track of her, but reunites with her at school. Her personality becomes grim as she does not want to steal other people's happiness. Is it possible to break out from this depressing theory and bring light to her heart? The rapid development in the latter heart and the stupid resolution as "miracle  of love" really drag this game down. Character settings are slightly different from one route to another just for the sake of writer's convenience. That all puts Happy Planning in the kusoge area.  
    6. Jewels Ocean ジュエルスオーシャン [040319] Escu:de 1 2

    On a cold and mysterious night, five precious stones fell from the sky, each unintentionally discovered by five innocent girls. Unbeknownst to them, chaotic forces seek to retrieve these jewels, for they are the Demon Stones: apocalyptic artifacts capable of imbuing great power, yet at the cost of one’s sanity and soul. But all is not lost, for there is an individual who seeks to protect these gems and their bearers from these antagonists, regardless of the cost. There is an English review.  
    7. Steady x Study ステディ×スタディ [040325] Idea Factory Co., Ltd.

    You play as Makoto, a transfer student attending a school in Harajuku. You're not sure of what you want to do with your life and are given many choices, from entering the performing arts club, to going hardcore with your studies. Your choice will determine the path the game's story follows. Steady X Study makes use of the "ASV" (Around Search View) system that allows you to look around your environment. While sitting at your desk in class, you can press a button on the D-pad to look at the girls sitting next to you. While waiting to meet someone at the train station, you can look around and will likely find new things, including secret movies and events. Yet another console generic SOL visual novel with some another revolutionary system for only additional frustration. Scenario is a mess, and I can't think of target audience of this fraud.  
    8. Yomigaeri ~Refrain~ 黄泉がえり 〜リフレイン〜 [040325] Tomcat System

    Based on the novel and movie of the same name.

They are called Yomigaeri because they came back from Yomi, the Japanese hell. Saeki continues to interview them, and will deeply engage in their respective lives. But Saeki does not expect that one of these people will be Akane, his ex-girlfriend who died four years ago... Game is basically an anthology consisting of 10 stories.  
    9. Rasetsu 2 RASETSU 2 〜羅刹 弐 [040325] Tomcat System

    The end of the 50th century AD. Mankind has tried to seize a huge galaxy, but eventually civil war broke out. At this time first contacts with alien civilization Trit are made. But first conflicts soon evolution into coexistence.

    10. Filnansis フィルナンシス [040326] Emu

    Mother warns main character to return home straight from school on his birthday day. Day passes just as usual, but he is delayed on the way home by the conversation with his childhood friend.
    He find only wreckage on the place of his home with a note that makes no sense. Three girls suddenly appear and claim that protagonist is the successor of their country Grandfold where only girls live. He does not believe them until they take him to this country...  Bakage with a meaningless scenario, horrible sound tracks and useless protagonist. Game is universally marked as a kusoge.  
    11. Sora-iro no Organ 空色の風琴 [040326] The Lotus 1

    You and I are an octave apart. Will we be able to harmonize...?

The scenario contains painstaking details of the strange world of Alcio, such as festivals and religious ceremonies. Utmost attention has been paid to character creation. You will experience the fantastic, yet realistic world of Alcio and the relationships of characters there A decent-looking game. There is no better candidate for review this month, so I'm taking it up for review.  
    12. Symphonic Rain シンフォニック＝レイン [040326] Kuroneko-san Team 1 2 3 4 5 6

    Symphonic Rain takes place in a fictional city of apparently Italian heritage, where rain falls everyday. The locals there have adapted to this peculiar phenomenon, and carry on with their lives as if the rain was never there. No one takes an umbrella, no one wears a rain coat. The main character of the story is 17 year old Chris, a Fortelle student of the famous Piova Communal School of Music (Scuola Comunale di Musica Piova, in Italian). Separated from his childhood sweetheart Arietta when he left his home town for the city, he keeps in touch with her through the means of weekly letters. Penning their thoughts on those letters, Chris treasures and keeps her weekly writings, for he had promised her that should his drawer become totally filled with them, he would return to her.

Furthermore, imagine the drug has a name as ridiculous as “Make Love Junkies”. In this H-game, this drug is real, and it was mailed to our protagonist after ordering it off TV. It has such a peculiar potency that those affected still retain their mental faculties, but they are hardly in control of their starving bodies. That being said, our hero decides to make a harem consisting of a few women he’s had his eyes on, whether they’d like to or not. Two of these intended are classmates; those two also work as waitresses with another target; and finally there’s the literature teacher. At first our heroines aren’t so keen to get it on with our hero, but soon they’ll be giving themselves into the pleasure. That is, if you play your cards right (not too difficult with a miracle aphrodisiac).  Nukige

  4. kivandopulus
    There are two masterpieces this month - Air and Gensou Suikogaiden Vol. 1: Harmonia no Kenshi.  My hate for Air is too big, so I'd nominate any other candidate besides it, so my initial choice is Gensou Suikogaiden Vol. 1: Harmonia no Kenshi as VN of the month.
    1. Omakase☆Demakase Angel!! ~Chocolat to Milfy Shukufuku Shichau zo~ おまかせ☆でまかせ え～んじぇる!! ～ショコラとミルフィー祝福しちゃうぞっ～ [000901] Triangle

    Main character wakes up and sees two celestial girls from his dreams. Both girls want to pass angel exam. The exam condition is only one - to make one person happy.  Girls can become either of small or normal size at will. It's called sequel only to reap the good memory of first game. Content is nothing fancy this time, but don't expect loli here either.  
    2. Air [000908] Key 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

    Kunisaki Yukito's deceased mother left him with the doll and her last wish that Yukito look for the "girl in the skies" because it is his destiny to save her. Only half-understanding what his mother meant, Yukito has been traveling across Japan, vainly searching for this myth-like girl his mother told him about. His latest destination is a small, sleepy town where summer has just arrived; and his encounter with a young girl named Misuzu there sets the wheels of destiny turning.... There are lots of reviews. Not my type of the game AT ALL. This is a watermark game for Key and it's either loved or hated by reviewers, very polar reviews. I won't deny it a masterpiece status though.  
    3. Bless ~Close Your Eyes, Open Your Mind~ [000908] BasiL

    Main character left his hometown following his parents job needs. He had to part with a girl who often came to his dreams ever since. Ten years later he returns to this town and tries to find that girl whose image is blurred in his memory. His former friend suggest trying to search for her on the Internet using an online chat "Masquerade". Internet chat was still fresh back then. Quite a short story (one month), but with good atmosphere and tempo. There are roughly 10 days for flagging, and the rest is personal routes. Synopsis is pushy though as mysterious girl calls for hero to bring her salvation in dreams. In some routes development is forced. Game is rough to be called a masterpiece, but it's a nice short game to play.  
    4. Hana Monogatari・Natsu 花ものがたり・夏 [000914] Kababo
    Main character is the son of girls school president. He spends the summer administering the girls dormitory. Even though it's summer time, seven girls remain the building. Can this situation lead to a new feeling to be born? Quite a normal girl chasing game. There are some 35 days each divided in morning and evening parts. It's only possible to chase one girl at a time, so need to choose her whenever possible. Oh, and game has flowers in title since flowers are mentioned in each day beginning. Can't call this game special though.  
    5. Horohoro ほろほろ [000914] LiLiM

    Main character returns from medical study in United States only to have his family killed in front of him. He is accused of killing his family for property, but eventually released for the lack of evidence. His heart becomes shut since then. In such circumstances he needs to do a college research for three months. Game is quite simple. Hero hits rock bottom and welcomes any sympathy towards him. Game takes three months and content is normal, not dark.   
    6. Pure Angel -Tatta Hitotsu no Negai no Tame ni- Pure Angel −たったひとつの願いのために− [000914] Aquarium

    Main character is driven out of the dormitory and has to stay at a cafe with a condition to help around the place. Several girls already stay and work here as well. Girl in maid uniform asks to rely on her in everything... what's her motivation? Quite an ordinary setting. There is one month to form romantic relations. Story has fantasy elements, but it's quite strange that maid identity is revealed quite early. Work feels heavy, but if you like one of the girls it should not stop you.  
    7. Aegenelles no Hanayome エーゲネルスの花嫁 [000915] Mesa

    Main character is a crown prince of a small kingdom. Parents choose a suitable candidate who he never even seen in real life. In opposition to this decision prince swears to find a girl to love himself in the castle town. It's three weeks before coronation and wedding ceremony...  There's not much to say about the game. Girls from different backgrounds and with different problems are gathered here. Quite fun, but not with enough depth. The limit is five movements per day, so save/load ensues.  
    8. One's Own (or very) [000915] To Be

    Main character observes how his classmate becomes suddenly hospitalized after school medical examination with symptoms of unknown disease triggering memory loss. He starts to visit her, but begins to notice numerous contradictions and inconsistencies. Hero initiates his own investigation that keeps creeping him out.   The aim of the game is to solve the mystery of the incident and help the girl. Location is the hospital, and H scenes are quite dense. That's pretty much all that's known, and I'm not going to uncover another hospital "mystery".  
    9. Gensou Suikogaiden Vol. 1: Harmonia no Kenshi 幻想水滸外伝 Vol.1 ハルモニアの剣士 [000921] Konami 1 2 3 4 5

    Nash Latkje, the protagonist controlled by the player and an agent of Holy Harmonia's Southern Border Defence Force, has been assigned to obtain information to either verify or disprove a rumour concerning the appearance of one of the 27 True Runes in the Jowston City States. During his travels, he encounters Sierra Mikain, a female vampire, who decides to accompany him on his journey. As a result, he soon becomes entangled in the larger conflict involving the events of Suikoden II. I never played the RPG, but watched this kinetic novel with great pleasure. There are English, and I rate this game as masterpiece.  
    10. Eye's Only ~Sono Kagayaki wa Mabushisa ni Michite~ eye’s only～その輝きはまぶしさに満ちて～ [000922] ainos

    It's spring time, and Yousuke is entering university. In these three months until summer vacation, he meets some interesting girls and starts to have a relationship with them. Game's main feature is wide-spread animation that's used even for general scenes. But that also sets the limits of the game - limited number of heroines, short branches. As a result it's only remembered by everyone for its animation in H scenes as the only notable memory of the game.  
    11. Wafers ~Ohime-sama wa Kyou mo Kiken deshita~ うえはぁす ～お姫様は今日も危険でした～ [000922] SofthouseChara
    To escape from being forcefully married against her will for the sake of her country, the royal princess Chris ran away carrying only whatever money and valuables she can managed to carry. Naturally, pursuers chased after her. Being only a single woman, evading her pursuers would be hard. While thinking her next course of action, she saw the protagonist' car abruptly stopped, and she took out her gun. And thus begin the princess and protagonist' adventures.  Meanwhile, there's a military secret hidden inside one of the belongings the princess took with her, one that's important for a certain someone and threatens his advancement. There are also documents detailing business dealings with the Mafia too. From the pursuers that starts to become bloodshot, the chase has begun. I tend to block card games, but it's not just a primitive card game. It's more like a board game with the aim to get to the end of the road, and cards only help to manage the enemies. It's game over if enemies catch up to the hero for a certain number of times. Every turn cards are replenished, plus it's possible to buy cards during events. Game has zero reviews, because it's plain weird. SofthouseChara had a very difficult past.  
    12. Love Hina: Totsuzen no Engage Happening ラブひな 突然のエンゲージ・ハプニング [000928] Sega 1 2 3

    After having failed the Tokyo-U entrance exam, Keitaro Urashima is nowhere near achieving his goal of entering Tokyo University and meeting his fabled "promise girl". Or is he? After catching a glimpse of his latest bad scores, Granny Hinata decides to send a real Tokyo-U student to help Keitaro, Naru and Mutsumi pass. Her name is Mizuho Fujisawa and she bears more than a passing resemblance to the girl Keitaro made a promise to several years ago. Furthermore, she is so confident that she can get Keitaro to pass, that she makes this wager: If Keitaro can't pass under her tutelage, he will get to marry her.
    Just who the heck IS she? There are two English reviews.  
    13. Yume no Tsubasa 夢のつばさ [000928] KID 1 2

    Your dream is to fly, and you’ve spent years restoring an old plane, hoping that you will be able to fly in the sky just like your father. However, one day, after a test run you find a mysterious girl collapsed near the runway. Who is she? And why is she here? Even though you don’t know anything, you let her stay at your house, and a chain of events have begun to turn… There is a short English review, but I'm not a KID fan to dig beyond it.  
    14. For Season 2 ~Utsuriyuku Kisetsu, Wasurenai~ For Season.2 ～うつりゆく季節、忘れない～ [000929] Giga

    Suddenly close friend asked main character for a favor - to substitute him as a tutor for some time. Protagonist can't refuse to his best friend request. What kind of young students await him?
    Again, three girls, again tutorship. Period is half a year. During weekdays it's study mode, during weekends it's holidays travelling mode. There's also the need to buy items and put them on students tables - gross! And it's already such alienation degree to the setting that I can't go on.  
    15. Gaisen! Ichijiku Kanchou! 凱旋！無花果艦長！ [000929] BeF

    Main character is appointed as a captain of a submarine with the only aim to avoid any crisis. However the vehicle gets hit by a torpedo of enemy submarine "Harukaze". Captain ignores commandment's orders and brilliantly uses has tactical skills and numerous inventions. For the glory of Japan!
    Almost kinetic bakage. All player has to do is move inside submarine and sometimes make some choice that does not have much meaning. Still it's more erotic than fun.  
    16. Gakkou no Kyaa! ~Sennichi Gakuen Shinbunbu no Teinou Kaiki Eigateki Sekai~ 学校のきゃあ！～千日学園新聞部の低能怪奇映画的世界～ [000929] Black Light

    School yellow pages newspaper covers psychic phenomena and strange cases inside and outside the school. It has a colorful cast. Main character is sent as a spy to this school club. Is it possible for a normal person to compete against monsters and conspiracies that await him in the evenings? It's multiple-endings adventure of 5 chapters. In ADV part we gain favorability of the girl of choice and hold dialogues with her. In investigation part we... investigate around the school. There are a lot of time limited choices that can easily result in a bad ending. The atmosphere of the game resembles B class horror movie about occult black comedy. Quite a solid unusual scenario... but not for everyone.  
    17. Heart & Blade [000929] C's Ware

    Osamu, the protagonist, is a student whose family descent from a lineage of samurais and owner of a Dojo of kendo. He was studying and training at the United States, but now is time to go back to Japan.
    At this house, where he must protect a sacred milenium old tree, he meets a strange girl who resembles someone he met a long time ago.
    But his problems are just starting. His father got him a fiancee from a rich and traditional family, his blond classmate from United States came all the way to Japan after him, and his older female cousin came to help at the dojo.
    What is more strange, monsters started to appear in the City. Osamu must wield a sword and fight them to protect the sacred tree and his friends. A chunige from C's Ware? YES, PLEASE! Review incoming.  
    18. Innocent Eye's [000929] Unison Shift 1

    The protagonist Natsume Shinitirou is an assistant researcher working at the Neurosciences Institute.  He studies biology and genetics, and sometimes even parapsychology. 
    But then one day, a sudden explosion levels the institute. To save a trapped girl below he goes down to the restricted floors below. Where he meets the heroines of the story and uncovers the real purpose of the institute...
    Utsuge is not my thing at all, but I still tried to force myself to play it. The result is poor not because it's utsuge, but because it has minimal story. All the events happen in the same huge laboratory complex. There are also gameplay elements of finding items and using them properly. It also does not really suit for a video with many H events and loli heroines. Both the story and the heroines routes are unimpressive. Even though game is utsuge, there is a happy ending.  
    19. Kaitou Z ~Anata to Heart o Nusumimasu~ 怪盗Z～あなたのハートを盗みます～ [000929] Ciel
    Kaitou Z is an antique shop holder on the surface, but also a gentleman thief who breaks into houses and uses hypnotism widely. One day he is asked by one girl to steal a film from some office. He steals the film, but what's the meaning of this ridiculous film? It's a real-time thief simulator in limited time circumstances, that's why there aren't reviews of it. There are many different steal missions. Both lack of information gathering and time limit bring game over.  
    20. Loveless ~Owaranai Monogatari~ LOVELESS ～終わらない物語～ [000929] Voice

    Around the year 200 AD a girl was born as the first 'qualified person' in human history. She went on a journey to find the species as herself. She met three friends during the following 1800 years trip. And together they went on journey again to find the 5th person. He turned out to be the first man from the 'qualified person' species and the protagonist of this story. The existence of five qualified persons at one place and time attracted a monster called "a heteromorphic person", and their fateful encounter is drawing near. Game is mostly about training SIM, map movement and then difficult battles where you have to defend 90% of time. The atmosphere is good, but the the length and the mechanics not so great. There aren't too many H events.  
    21. Revolution [000929] Waffle

    Three important figures in the kingdom are kidnapped by the Revolutionary organization on their way back to the kingdom from abroad study. The organization forwards insane demands giving only 24 hours to comply before execution of all three figures. Prince "Ash" is hurriedly summoned to deal with the situation. Meanwhile, only 8 hours are left...  It's an action game with H events on the way. After certain time passes, insult scenes with the kidnapped girls are shown. Can't evaluate the gameplay properly since it's not the genre I like.  
    22. Seikan Megami Senki Metal Doll 星間女神戦記メタルドール [000929] Cenote

    Confrontation between the Tauros faction and the Leo faction becomes extremely fierce after a  mysterious explosion of the huge mother ship. Main character is sent from the Earth to investigate the situation.  It's kind of tactical strategy SIM in space, but the system and battle mechanics are worst ever. H scenes usually come after each battle. There is only one save... Game's universally condemned as kusoge.  
    23. Yaminabe Aries ~Asu e no Chousenjou~ 闇鍋Aries～明日への挑戦状～ [000929] Circus 1 2

    This game consists of three separate stories. Two of them, "Katomai" (カトマイ) (doesn't have any H-scenes) and "Sana" (紗菜) side stories, are directly related to Aries.  The third one, "Tail Tale", is about furries/kemonos.
    Tail Tale's summary:
    In a world consisting of floating continents, there exist races of kemonos with different fur colours. One of the races is known as "Mao" (マオ族). At the east and the west edge of the continent, there are two villages- "Bastalk" (バストーク) and "Zarpat" (ザパト) respectively.
    The protagonist living in Bastalk, Rick, looks much forward to being able to build an aircraft (there are none in that civilization) in order to explore a new world. On a very day, while Rick is picking herbs for healing his sick younger brother, Nap, he crossed paths with a girl living in Zarpat, Run. And the life of Rick is going to be changed forever after this encounter...  I'm no fan of multiple stories format and especially of Aries series. There is some information in English since game is partially localized.

  5. kivandopulus
    The best Visual Novel of September 1997 is Comic Road - a shy life simulator of a starting manga artist with a lot of animation and very cute scenes.
    1. Akuryou Gakuen Reiko 悪霊学園レイコ [970905] Trush Reiko Ashura, a young girl born in an ancient psychic family, challenges a strange case by making use of its special ability. Miserable incidents occur one after another at a prestigious girls' high school which are linked to a horrible mysterious occult circle secret. It's a les insulting eroge. The story is about going around the school and fighting youkai with the help of spiritual abilities. Picture looks rough and is not cute. There are 2 bad endings and 1 good ending and insult scenes are concentrated around bad endings.  
    2. Innai Kansen 淫内感染 [970905] ZyX 1 Akira Sakaguchi is a physician who has been appointed to a new Hospital. Rumors about his youth and skill spread fast among the nurses. One day Akira accidentally witnesses an improper behavior of his female colleague doctor after operation and can't forget that mysterious sight. The first bullet in Zyx famous immoral hospital franchise. There is an English review.  
    3. Winter Kiss ウインターキス [970905] Ucom You come to winter ski resort. That's a perfect place to find a girlfriend. There are 8 girls but selection is made on the very first day and then the story just goes automatically. There is full voice here. Besides that it's hardly noticeable. At least the system is ok. An obscure work like most of Ucom works.  
    4. Eberouge Special ~Koi to Mahou no Gakuen Seikatsu~ エーベルージュ スペシャル ～恋と魔法の学園生活～ [970905] Fujitsu 1

    Main character is a 15-years old student who arrives at the magic school. He will meet different female teachers and classmates that he can date there provided that he has required skill levels. Prequel started in elementary school and was a borefest with rare events. Here events density is higher, but it's still a SIM in the first place.  
    5. Heart no Kakera ハートの破片 [970912] Excellents Masato Sakurai just entered high school. He starts to feel dissatisfaction with current life and starts club activity. What kind of girls can he meet? Command selection ADV. One way road with only number of CG depending on choices. At first four girls scenarios are available, then three more open up. The scenarios are short and unmemorable. Girls are not voiced and that's really bad. There is not enough romance or bonding or smth, more like a nanpa game.  
    6. Kyouen Etsuraku no Requiem 狂宴 悦楽のレクイエム [970912] Vector Yasuto Hirabayashi's grandfather died and left him a diary. There was written about the woman and the ring that he could not attain. How is it connected to the classmates that who decided to spend vacations in a mystery mansion? Multi-ending (six endings) command selection adventure. How to reach each ending in hinted in the help option. There are two heroines but neither can get a happy ending. Game has poor system. Quite a well known fabula since Beast series where a group of students break into pairs and explore the abandoned mansion. Wandering around the rooms takes majority of time.  
    7. Aethyr ~Tenshi no Ryouiki~ Aethyr～天使の領域～ [970925] Love Gun Ninomura Shinobu is a medical student who moves to "Rosellen Court" lodging with a lot of pretty girls around. He can't do anything with the ever-present administrator around, but there's a chance now as administrator goes to a trip. But Shinobu also suffers from nightmares that come every night... It's difficult to say what's reality and what's a dream in the game as those go alternatively same as sweet scenes and dark scenes. But the pattern is the same with every girl and repeating it over and over turns into torture. There are over 30 endings. Branching can be difficult to understand and it takes a lot of time to enter the true route.  
    8. Roommate ~Ryouko in Summer Vacation~ ROOMMATE～涼子 in Summer Vacation～ [970925] Datam Polystar 1 2 Roommate: Ryōko in Summer Vacation is the second game in the trilogy centering around Ryouko Inoue, your roommate for the time of the story.

Arriving hot and sweaty from the airport, she rings your door bell and after taking a quick shower tells you all about her trip abroad. For the time being, she'll be staying with you and be your roommate. There is an English review of this game.  
    9. Sound Novel Tsukuru 2 サウンドノベルツクール２ [970925] ASCII Corporation The sequel to Sound Novel Tsukuru for the Super Famicom. The engine for making interactive fiction is identical to its prequel but is more complex. More choices and opportunities for interaction are possible along with superior graphics and sound quality. Not sure if there pare premade stories there or not.  
    10. Be Happy! Koi Mau Gakuen BE HAPPY ! 恋舞う学園 [970926] Space Project Shoji Toki is preparing for high school entrance exam. One of the teachers invites him to a cram school to prepare for exams. Raising sim about study in the first part of the game. Examination is held by the series of quizzes. After you pass the exam, the second ADV part with map choice begins. Every heroine has her own ending. Difficulty is above average. Graphics is really meh and character design is not even remotely same cute as on the box. Just compare the winking girl in game with the same winking girl on the box...  
    11. CD Girls -Utahime-tachi no Koi Monogatari- CDgirls　－歌姫達の恋物語－ [970926] C's Ware A mediocre hero borrowed a CD from a friend with the title "CD Girls". The moment he pushed "play" a little girl jumped out from the CD. Time stops here with only old memories and old love wounds lingering in search of cure. Scenario is ridiculous and ending is abrupt. Choices can be severe as one wrong answer leads to event end. Game's very short. There's an H-event for each of 3 heroines in the end of their tiny routes.  
    12. Comic Road こみっくろーど [970926] Cocktail Soft 1 Comic Road is a "life simulation" game, starring a young girl (whom the player names themselves) who dreams of becoming a manga artist. In order to become successful, she has to do more than just draw well; it is important to develop other aspects of her personality, and also keep an eye on the finances, otherwise working too much might deteriorate her drawing skills. Social life, physical exercises, reading - everything has consequences! Manga training sim. Might be the only of this kind. Highly animated work (3 hours total!) during a period of 3 years. While other companies keep making weird raisig sims and clone dating sims, this is a sim about life with part-time work, skills training, occasional friends gatherings and doujinshi festivals. It may still seem monotonous, but that's basically life simulation, it can't be exciting. This game was largely overlooked at the time of issue, but I think it a very important work to doujin culture, probably same as Comic Party in 1999.  
    13. Kuroyagi ~Otome-tachi e Sasageru Serenade~ 黒山羊 ～仔羊たちへ捧げる小夜曲～ [970926] E.G.O. Late 19th century. In a certain place in Western Europe there was a famous house called the Yagi family. Lord Earl was an excellent person as its head. · · · However, one day the he disappeared. An incident occurred in which all members were found dead. The crime remained unsolved. 100 years have passed since then · · · A certain detective tried to bring the truth about this incident up without a request from anyone and vanished without a trace. His best friend is anxious to know about his whereabouts and he steps into the mansion as well. He seems to be a very ordinary journalist, but in reality he has a "witch" as his ancestor. It's a minor low-price work, but very atmospheric one. It's well depicted as detective gradually approaches the truth behind the incident. He travels in time three days before the incident and can witness its circumstances with his own eyes. Standing CG ruin this atmosphere to an extent. There are five heroines to clear overall. The pacing is generally good but development becomes too fast in the second half. I've tried it game is not voiced at all. There is no opening either. Character designs are mostly ugly, but CG much nicer. I see little interest in plot, it's merely a pretext to enter a house full of girls and see some dramatic resolution only by the end of 3rd day.  
    14. Metadoll Ai メタドールAI [970926] Petit 2026 AD. Amagi Shiro used to be metadoll robots fighting competition champion back in middle school. Then he abandoned it after his mother and his robot disappeared in the house fire of unknown origin. Now a year later he lives with father and he's returning in the competition on his new metadoll Ai. Game consists of first raising sim part where we aim for the champion title and then there is mystery adv where we investigate the tragic incident of the fire. Fights are very difficult, especially in the first part of the game, but losing does not seem to affect the flow and the ending. And the culprit of the incident is the evil organization and this ADV scenario is too short to matter.  
    15. Mujintou Monogatari X ~Gaiden~ 無人島物語X ～外伝～ [970926] Pinpai 1 The story behind Desert Island is that you and six other people (all girls) have been anesthetized and brought to an uninhabited island. You woke up from theanesthetic and found you and your sister is on an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific. You and your sister have no clue on how you two got on the island. However, you have soon found a radio inside a hut on the beach. From the radio, you are given the information that you and six other people have been transported to this island under the experiment called "J Project." The company conducting this experiment has informed you that you will have three-month to uncover the secret of J Project. From here on you will begin your exploration of the island to uncover the secret of J Project and gather up girls. After the main trilogy Desert island story started to adapt to the market. So after R story there was an inevitable X story. But instead of just adding H-events the gameplay was razed to a simpleton level. The game has an English review.  
    16. Onani -Peeping Boy- 自慰 -Peeping Boy- [970926] Candy Soft 1 You're a high school student who wants to gain some "experience" with girls in your class. And you do this by having conversations with them after school is over. There are five different girls you can talk to, although you can only approach one at a time. If your conversational efforts are successful, you get to see the girl play with herself before you join the fun. You won't believe it, but there is an English review of this game.  
    17. Kaitouranma 快刀乱麻 [970927] Imagineer Co., Ltd. 1 Japan in alternative history universe. Shinjuro may be a little young to be the master of a swordsmanship school, but fate didn't give him a choice.

However, the group won't be challenged until the Tokugawa house calls in a favor, and the young swordsman is forced to duel Mikage himself. Game has an English Review
  6. kivandopulus
    Second month without masterpieces. I'll probably settle with Tsurugi Otome Noah as VN of the Month. Reviewing it, as well as 8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou .
    1. Dear My Sun!! ~Musuko Ikusei Capriccio~ DEAR My SUN!!～ムスコ★育成★狂騒曲～ [070906] HuneX 1

    2. Shikaku Tantei Sora no Sekai ~Thousand Dreams~ 死角探偵　空の世界　～Thousand Dreams～ [070913] Nine's Fox 1

    Shikaku Tantei - Sora no Sekai - Thousand Dreams is an adventure game in which player takes the role of a detective who has to investigate assassination (or suicide) in the mansion with the help of three sisters living there. Detective game  
    3. Sweet! すうぃと！ [070921] Candy Soft

    Kyoichi has no job. One day, a woman visits his house, and offers him to become a manager of a newly opened maid cafe. He accepts her offer, and begins to work at the maid cafe "Sucre".... SIM Moege  
    4. Zettai Shiawase Sengen! 絶対幸せ宣言っ！ [070921] Eighth Note

    Kei has a childhood friend, Aya, who always dangles around him. She often says something like this, "I've found a way to make people happy!". He enjoys his school life. But, he sometimes thinks, "What do I wanna do after all...?" It's a school love story.... Game starts as lively slapstick comedy, but methodically brings more serious and sad development varying greatly by individual route. Protagonist is to solve each problem. Only Haruka scenario brings zettai shiawase, though. Romance element is thin, but personal stories leave a positive impression.  
    5. 8665^2 Haruruko no Jijou 8665^2　ハルルコのジジョウ [070928] Rune

    Akio is an ordinary uni student. But, there is one thing different from others. That is his great olfactory system. He somehow hides it, and lives a peaceful life. One day, Haruruko, his classmate, finds it, and his life suddenly turns around 180 degrees... Reviewing it myself blindly.  
    6. Aruji no Tame ni Kane wa Naru お嬢様の為に鐘は鳴る [070928] Atu Works

    There is a high school. Though it has huge school grounds and facilities, it is surrounded by tall walls. Closed society. No outsider can go inside. Actually, the school features the butler and maid training lessons. And, there is a local legend that if a master and a butler/maid swear under the clock tower located in the school, their relationship will last forever... Midway protagonist is forced to become butler, and game proceeds as a comedy. The flow with the characters is the same, and prioritizing one heroine gets to her individual route. After branch some problem arises, but nothing too serious to hurt tempo or comedy. Overall, nice even game.  
    7. Gocchiru -Lovely Lady Maker- ごっちる-ラブリーレディーメーカー- [070928] Tomato

    The main character used to be the boss of the soldiers. But, he lost his wife several years ago, and he's been depressed since then.

    8. Happy Princess はっぴぃプリンセス [070928] Terios

    Tomoyuki is a high school student. He temporarily lives alone because his parents are abroad on business. But, he enjoys his life with his childhood friends and classmates. One day, his peaceful life suddenly changes... Several girls appear in front of him, and tell him, "Choose one girl whom to marry!" He doesn't know what's going on, but his friends join this battle as well. Whom will he choose in the end...? Don't expect scenario from this game. It's exactly school love comedy with many tsundere. Heroines don't interact with each other enough, so it all goes down to individual heroine charm. There are some sudden fantasy elements like appearing from another world. Graphics and H element is traditionally strong for Terios game, but overall it's a mediocre work.  
    9. Hime-sama, Ote Yawaraka ni! 姫さまっ、お手やわらかに！ [070928] Giga

    One day, when Kenji enjoys a local festival with Chitose, Koko and Komomo, a girl, Pafin, suddenly bursts in saying, "I'll rule this town from now!" According to her, she is a direct descendant of the royal family. Will they be able to endure her ruling? Giga comedy that does not even happen at a cafe - that's rare. First playthrough is short, some 10 hours, next ones are much shorter. All routes are comical, absolutely zero drama. Abusive tsundere princess rocks, but other heroines are also bright, except, maybe, for childhood friend.  
    10. Hoshiful ~Seitou Gakuen Tenmon Doukoukai~ ほしフル ～星藤学園天文同好会～ [070928] F&C FC01

    Akira is a high school student who belongs to his school's astronomy club and enjoys his school life with the other members, including Kotone. He loves her, but can't confess his feelings to her. As summer comes closer, people around him fall in love with someone. What will happen to his love...? As usual for F&C, an everyday life charage. But at least they know what they are doing by now, so individual routes are rather long, and heroines vary a lot. By the scale of charage it's above average.  
    11. Love Kiss! Anchor ~Anata no Kiss de Tsukamaete~ らぶKiss！アンカー～あなたのキスでつかまえて～ [070928] Beenyan 1

    One day after the last class on the school I met a girl, Nano, and by an accident we kissed. "Your kiss sealed me in this world!" She said and my peaceful days came to an end.
    After that Nano was with me everywhere I go. Suddenly all the girls around me; my childhood friends, even my sister Chisa started to act much closer towards me. Is it jealousy?
    Knowing that if I don't kiss her again Nano would disappear from this world I started dating her, but is it right thing to do to the others? What if it isn't enough and Nano still leaves? There is an English review  
    12. Miko Miko Rumble みこみこランブル [070928] Heat-Soft

He gets mad, and has various quarrels against them. Somehow, they gradually fall in love with him, and a battle for him breaks out! Just a fetish moege with all the needed traits including harem.  
    13. Nagagutsu o Haita Deco 長靴をはいたデコ [070928] Lost Script

    When Kosuke wakes up, he finds himself being in a strange house. He meets a girl wearing boots called Hamu there. According to her, her family members suddenly went missing, and she's been living with her pet cat since then. He starts living there to take care of her. But, he gradually becomes doubtful about the situation he is currently involved.... Game's based on manga, and things go crazy really fast, so little remains of sanity here, so scenario goes to trash bin. Two stories with varying art style develop in parallel. System remains same weird as in first Lost Script work, and it's not user friendly, to put it mildly. It might be justified for exploration vampire story to an extent with all the dice rolls, but it's so alien here. Very strange work that leaves negative impression.  
    14. Riding Incubus らいでぃんぐ いんきゅばす [070928] Hobibox

    Kazuya is a high school student. One day, he finds a key at an old church while he prepares for Halloween. The key is big and looks beautiful. Actually, it is a key to release Riru, an incubus. To express her gratitude, she kisses him, and they start living together. His life dramatically changes, involving his friends. What will happen to him in the end...? It's basically a nukige, but with actual heroines routes and some kind of action story, so can't block this game easily. As a plotge it lacks exitement.  
    15. Shihen 69 ~Shinen no Messiah~ 詩篇69～深淵のメサイア～ [070928] Gesen 18

    There is an old sacred book, in which everything that has happened in history is written down. But, one chapter was so dangerous that it had been divided, sealed and hidden throughout the land. One day, a king began to search for this sealed chapter. Felix, who is from a family with long ties to the book, joins the campaign, and as if led by fate meets five others. SRPG  
    16. Sim Love ~Hitonatsu no Kiseki~ Simらぶっ～ひと夏の奇跡～ [070928] DisAbel

    “Ah, I'm sorry.”
    “I’m surprised. I’ve just moved to this town.”
    “From where?”
    “From Tokyo.”
    “Oh, you’re a city boy.”
    They become friends, and he gradually… Super-fast development and not so sane protagonist are main flaws here. Email system only adds irritation. Heroines are ok, but they can hardly save the day here.  
    17. Sortieange Mahou Club ソルティアンジュ魔法倶楽部 [070928] Micro

    One day, a pillar of light suddenly appears from the sky and it never goes out again. People are surprised to see it at first, but they get used to it after two weeks. The main character is Shoutaro, a high school student. He meets two girls at school. "Let's form a magic club together!"
    He joins them without even thinking, and his life dramatically changes... For a fantasy world there is absolutely insufficient description. Development is childish. Story hardly goes anywhere becoming opportunistic. Type is closer to fantasy comedy moege.

Nothing much besides that.  
    8. Paparazzo パパラッチ [960531] Ume Soft 1 In Paparazzo the player takes control of a young Japanese male journalist who works for an agency that primarily covers sports events. Dissatisfied with his position, the young man considers becoming a paparazzo, working on his own to get pictures of celebrities. From that point on the plot branches depending on the player's decisions, as the protagonist encounters various women and may pursue relationships with them. There as many as 11 girls in here. There are bad endings and the decisions determining the ending are done early in game. The game starts as a journalist story but goes on mostly like a love affair story with many H-events. Game's perfectly hookable, but I forgot to enlarge the border while capturing.  
    9. Sound Novel Tsukuru サウンドノベルツクール [960531] ASCII Corporation Sound Novel Tsukuru is a Super Famicom graphic novel game where players can either read or create interactive fiction on their own console systems. Stories can be saved either on a battery or through a satellite connection. The game comes with a previously created graphic novel about exploring an old house. Due to the limitations in the game's engine, it can only show shadows of non-player characters that the player meets on his journey. Settings can range from a modern day train to a rural house and even wilderness can be included in various stages of wildness. A constructor for creating sound novels. Not even sure if it has premade stories or the videos are based on created stories.  
    10. Strange World ストレンジ・ワールド [960531] Sorciere Hero is a college student. To earn his living he participates in hospital brainwaves study tests. He dreams of appearing in a castle as a new employee. Multiple route and multiple ending adventure with 14 bad endings and only 3 happy ones. So capture is really difficult and the best ending is only achievable with 100% CG. The atmosphere is good, but content is ero-centered.

    Haruka ni Aogi, Uruwashi no is VN of the month, but I'll review it myself to determine whether it's a masterpiece or not.
    1. Moon Strike [061102] Vanaheim

    Main character decided to undergo an operation and become metanoid because of revenge. Afterwards he fought on as a warrior of justice as "Silver Blast" for the Future Hope Foundation. After the fight with criminal organization Django there were no longer serious threats for the city, so he retired. But there is a new danger now. Does flame of justice still burn in his soul? Card battles adventure. Developers try to combine science fiction and magic, which is not possible and thus fails. So it turns into a bakage with card battles.  
    2. Tori x Tori ~Ecchi Shitekunnakya Itazura Shichauzo?~ とり×とり～えっちしてくんなきゃイタズラしちゃうゾ？～ [061102] Sumikko Soft

    The special product of this town is pumpkin.... Pumpkin and Halloween are used to liven up the town. Shunsuke's high school usually has a school festival at the end of October and his class plans to open a ghost house for the festival. There is an old house standing next to his apartment and it seems no one lives there. They decide to use this house as a ghost house. Shunsuke goes inside to look around and meets monsters.... He runs away but next day, a girl comes to his place with three followers. It seems that he met them before... actually, they are the ones he met at the old house! "We request for your cooperation!" Game has ecchi and itazura in its title, and indeed the average number of H scenes per heroine is 4-5, and the number of heroines for capture is huge - 8. Actual pranks only happen at the beginning of the scenario. Protagonist is a very passive agriculture enthusiast. So it's quite a normal pure love game with pranks and agriculture theme and slight tilt into H.  
    3. Always ~Futo, Ki ga Tsukeba Kimi to no Nichijou...~ Always ～ふと、気が付けばキミとの日常…～ [061110] Giga

    "Romantic Fool" is a new style coffee shop. Kazuya starts to work there part-time after twists and turns. There are teas, biscuits and unique and pretty waitresses. A small love romance comes into bloom... Usual Giga cafe moege that's only possible to play if some heroine seems lovely.  
    4. Chokotto☆Vampire! ちょこっと☆ばんぱいあ！ [061117] Meteor

    Youichi is an ordinary uni student, and he wants to live an ordinary life. On the other hand, Youichi's father is a mayor, and he secretly runs away after a series of scandals. Youichi is at a loss what to do... and he receives a package. There is a huge coffin inside.... He opens it and finds a girl sleeping. She wakes up and says, "I am a descendant of a vampire family." A city office worker comes to his place and tells him that his father is a descendant of a traditional devil family, and he is decided to take over the devil after his father. At first, he refuses it and is given a couple of months to think it over. He finally accepts the offer to be the devil.... Basically, concept is that normal boy gets pressed by three princesses of demonic world, and that turns into a slapstick comedy. But it also becomes the main problem as he has to oppose strong antagonist somehow without having any special power. Plot is nonexistant. H scenes happen on average 6 times per heroine, and there is a short Harem route, but unlike previous two games of the company it's definitely not a nukige.  
    5. Harem☆Party ハーレム☆パーティー [061117] Tactics 1 2 3

    The protagonist of our story, Moriuji Haru, is just about to complete an unnamed RPG, but just as the final boss is in his death throes, the game's heroines appear in his room! They say they have escaped the game world and come to the real world in pursuit of the Demon Lord himself.
    Haru is understandably shocked by this sudden, unbelievable turn of events, but the girls are overjoyed that they can finally meet the 'Hero of Legend' who is so famous in their world.
    When the girls reveal that they can't remain in the real world without having sex with him, Haru succumbs to their pleas, and so begins the story as he tries to help in the search for the Demon Lord while educating the ignorant game girls in the ways of lovemaking... Game is localized and has English reviews.  
    6. Netorare -Naked Trance Ramble- 寝盗ラレ-NakedTranceRamble- [061117] G-CAT

    Main character is an ordinary student. He touches various problems of girls around him. Eventually emotions take over, and several girls actively start seeking his attention... Concept is as banal as possible with one exception - netorare in title. For some reason, developers associate netorare with rape and intimidation. So girl loves protagonist and has sex with other people.  
    7. Youtou Jiken 妖刀事件 [061117] Liar-soft

    Takumi happens to find a stabbed corpse on the backstreet. A sword is stabbed.... When he touches it, the sword goes into his palm, and he sees the images that the corpse saw when it just died. Takumi runs away from it.... On the next day, there is news about the murder case.... He already gets involved in this case.... Modern time, Shibuya, but place does not have much meaning in the game. Scenario is almost a straight road, with four endings. Sword does not show up often, actually. Concept is a mix of horror and mystery, but both feel done half-way. Cruel moves are used instead of developing the story. I blame scenario writer who was only responsible for minor Liar-Soft games.  
    8. Natsupochi なつぽち [061122] ALcot

    Everybody meets after an interval of several years. His childhood friend Chitose, his younger sister Misaki and his father Hotsuma. His father still wants Jin to take over his business. After the family meeting, Jin starts to work as a teacher. One day, when he is on his way home, he finds a girl lying injured. Since the meeting with her, Jin's life starts to change.... Convenience is king here. First part is introductory and subtle, and in the second we solve girl's problem. Very orthodox pure love game close to a moege.  
    9. Colorful Aquarium カラフルアクアリウム [061124] Eufonie

    Our hero has spent a long time living alone with his elder sister while their parents were away on business. However, now the sister has gone and the protagonist has been living alone for a little while; living the student’s life. At least he has had other company than just his sister, for he was frequently visited by his childhood friend. She now is kind enough to offer to live with him, and help him with the chores and such. To make things even more interesting: a girl--that both of them knew from long ago--has now returned from America along with two maids. The three of you hit it off very well together--so well that it leads to something more than a friendship between all of you. It's mostly a light comedy though there is a sudden real battle in the end. Good romantic comedy with some crazy elements. There is nothing special in the story, but depiction of characters is good.  
    10. Etoranze ~Uchi no Pet wa Neko no Kami-sama?~ えとランゼ～うちのペットは猫の神様？～   [061124] Enfini

    Main character's sister-in-law returns from a distant town on the first day after summer vacation. There is nothing special in the return itself, but the strange thing is that she is possessed by a cat God. The deity promises to return sister's personality is protagonist helps with finding and monsters. But the real problem is that she messes with everyone turning ordinary life into chaos. Characters are unique looking and cute. There's a bit of nakige in this craziness. H dimension is moderate.

One day, a company that borrowed money from his company goes bankrupt and three daughters of the president come to his house to work as maids, Kazumi, Futaba and Miyo. They gradually loosen up and.... Game starts as a comedy with subtle story, but H nature shows off very soon as H scenes start to be inserted randomly. Quality of comedy is so-so. Mystery solution is involved, but realization is really poor. Everyone loves protagonist from the start. All the elements are lacking.

    Sotsugyou Shashin / Miki is the VN of March 1992.
    1. Yamamura Misa Suspense: Kinsenka Kyo Ezara Satsujin Jiken 山村美紗サスペンス 金盞花京絵皿殺人事件 [920306] TOSE Software 1 While on a trip to Kyoto a restaurant review writer decides to investigate the murder of a woman from a rich family. As far as I know all the games of TOSE Software are based on real life novels, so reality and unexpected turns is what they excell at. It has all the ordinary stuff like questioning and exploration, but there's also an element of 3rd sight view, zooming and lots of point and click action. This point and click actually brought the most damage since it was not comfortable and it hurt the tempo. A solid plot and enjoyable Kyoto views, but overall it's a modest work.  
    2. Otogirisou 弟切草 [920307] Chunsoft 1 2 3 4 5 A couple gets lost in the wood and decides to spend the night in the abandoned mansion. A classic horror tale that even made its way to PlayStation 1. There are quite a few English reviews on the game here.  
    3. Sotsugyou Shashin / Miki 卒業写真/美姫 [920312] Cocktail Soft 1 2 3 Sotsugyō Shashin / Miki consists of two Japanese-style adventure games that were not released separately before. Both focus on the theme of high-school romance. In Sotsugyō Shashin, the player takes control of a male high-school student. Unable to form a solid plan for his future studies, he is more interested in romantic relationship, and attempts to make things right with his schoolmate Hiromi Kamura before the graduation ceremony takes place. In Miki, the protagonist is Shinji Fujisawa, who attends the high school of the peaceful mountain village Tsubana. During a kagura dance performance, a time slip occurs, and he and his schoolmate Ayumi are miraculously transported to the feudal Edo era. Shinji's soul enters the body of the young blacksmith apprentice Shingo Benibana, and he attempts to change the tragic events of the past involving Shingo's love to the beautiful Miki. There are English reviews, but they fail to grasp the uniqueness of the work. First of all it's all ages work, but it's mentally suitable for adults the most. Secondly, it's a rare work to cry of drama content right from the box cover. Graduation photo is the main work here. Even though heroes have tender feelings for each other they have to part and treasure their graduation memories. PC-Engine version introduced multiple endings, but totally contradicted the original atmosphere. Miki story is there to offset Graduation photo. The theme of first work is sadness about not being able to change past, but Miki actually is a story about travel to the past and changing dramatic events that used to happen and it all ends with a happy ending. At the same time both works are beautiful and have good sound support which makes the whole play a pleasant trip.  
    4. Mamono Hunter Youko - Makai Kara no Tenkousei 魔物ハンター　妖子　魔界からの転校生 [920313] TamTam Co., Ltd. 1 2 3 108th Devil Hunter Mamono Youko gets transported to another dimension with her classmates Shoma and Chokako. Somehow this world inhabitants are familiar with the guests. There is a nice English review here and since it's not original story, but an anime side-story, it looses much of its appeal.  
    5. Phantasy Star Adventure Phantasy Star Adventure [920313] Sega 1 2 3 4 5 The player's character is an agent in the town Paseo on Motavia. The year is 1268 A.W. The player's character receive a letter while on base from a long time friend Ken Miller. Ken is a scientist currently studying on the ice planet Dezolis. The letter is rather cryptic and only says the following: "How are you? I have succeeded in the discovery of the century. You must come and see it." The player make plans to travel to Dezolis and find what Ken is so excited about. After take the space shuttle to the planet, you travel to the town of Carsonville. There, you discover that Ken invented a machine that can transform humans into immensely powerful beings. Because of the implications of such an invention, Ken is kidnapped and his device is confiscated. As an agent, the player must solve this mystery. Ken's sister, Lila,assists the player during the investigation. There is enough information in English.  
    6. Tenshin Ranma 天神乱魔 [920318] Elf 1 2 3 Angels and demons are determined to decide human race fate by evaluating the abilities of a school boy Takami placed inside a dungeon swarmed with monsters. Yet another school student Yuima realized possession of magical powers and she is going to help Takami and destroy the rules once and for all. Finally a game without an English review! And an Elf game besides. It's a dungeon-crawler and only available for old platforms. Whether you choose boy or girl - they meet early in the game and venture deeper together. The game linear and it makes it very tedious to run over all of the shrines just to advance some talk. Every enemy attack was animated and while usual monsters had just two types of attacks, bosses might have much more. The mechanics were kept as simple as possible - only basic stats, very few armor and weapon types, few spells etc. And you can only equip main character but not your companion. So it is a nice mediocre game, but its mechanics prepared ground for one of the most famous Elf titles - Words worth.  
    7. Fushigi no Umi no Nadia ふしぎの海のナディア [920327] Gainax 1 2  14-year old French inventor boy Jean travels with runaway circus actress Nadia to reveal the secret of her pendant. Gainax lost 80 million yen on anime series without rights to gain profit on it. But it had the rights to make games on the franchise... and it made as many as seven (!!!) game releases under this franchise to get balances even. And so finding information in this mess was not easy, but there seems to be quite many English reviews on this exact interactive adventure game of 1992, so let's enjoy them together.  
    8. Martial Age マーシャルエイジ [920327] Tenshindou 1 2 Masahito is a Japanese teenager who studies martial arts. However, instead of studying, he prefers to chase pretty girls. Finally, after a quarrel with his father, Masahito leaves his home. Accidentally, he bumps into Keiko Yashima, the principal of Yuai girls school. She tests Masahito in combat, and against all rules, accepts him as the only male student in the school. Naturally, our hero uses this opportunity to "get lucky" with his all-female school mates... Tenshindou debut work, but I actually rate it as masterpiece. The story is not much as you mostly meet girls and challenge them for a fight and that remaining 1% of the game is the actual tactical fighting mini-game. The basic tactic with the nine opponents is weakening hits, then a hit to a crucial area (restoring hp during battle is ineffective and a waste of turn). The game is notable for H events mostly. The text is dense and Tenshindou does miracles with 16 colors in skin drawing. Anyway, the impact was big.

    D.U.O. ~Song for All~ is the VN of the Month Among masterpieces are One 2 ~Eien no Yakusoku~ , Suigetsu and Utawarerumono
    1. Trans' ~Boku to Atashi no Kyoukaisen~ Trans’～僕とあたしの境界線～ [020404] Catear 1

    Christmas Eve... it's a night when many couples confess feelings to each other and spend this time happily. This story starts on such a holy night.
    Instead of happy time there is a sudden breakup on her part. Her clothes are left in the room. It was just a small urge. Until then, I never thought about anything like that; if I did, it might be easier. That was probably the case.
    "I want to wear this clothes ..." But that alone did not stop the urge.
    "I want to wear this clothes and go out." 
    "I want more clothes that look good." 
    "I want to be more beautiful."
    The suffering from society condemnation. The cold gaze of people makes the small heart of the person between man and woman shake.
    “Is it bad to be more beautiful?” I have not invented a category to block Trans all-age games, but it does not mean I'm going to look into it because of that.  
    2. Ripple ~Blue Seal e Youkoso~ Ripple～ブルーシールへようこそっ～ [020405] Giga 1

    Main character looses a job and applies for an internet ad vacancy to work at a huge leisure park "Blue Seal" with multiple facilities including restaurant. There are many curious girls working around. A SIM game to raise protagonist's parameters and set dates. Combined to Giga failure as VN maker, game's a total crap.  
    3. Wish ~Owari Yuku Sekai de~ Wish～終わりゆく世界で～ [020405] Selfish 1

    The year is 20xx... A new life form called a "Mamono" has suddenly appeared in Japan. With great sacrifice, the Japanese government finally succeeds in retrieving a part of this "Mamono." Of course, it's kept secret from the general public and all evidence is eliminated...
    Soon after, the government takes a few civilian scientists and begins a top-secret mission called "Project HI" (Project Human Infinity). The project's purpose is to somehow inject the unknown virus from the "Mamono," which will give the subjects super powers. The goal is to create a human that will withstand any kind of environment, which will then be used as a lethal weapon. Knowing the project might fail, the government simultaneously creates a militia known as the "Witch Hunters."
    Minoru Yamanashi's father was one of the scientists involved in this project. He's so crazy that he submits not only himself but also Minoru's sister Chisa to the "Project HI" experiments. Unfortunately, the experiment on Chisa fails, and she falls ill with the virus. Not having the kind of money to save his sister, he decides to join the "Witch Hunters." He ends up killing his beloved sister. Losing the will to live, he wanders aimlessly around the streets and eventually crumbles with hunger. A girl named Yukari Arisa saves him from the streets... Heroines are unique and lively. The first half is hero gradually healing his mind wounds with a touch of comedy, but in the second part there is serious development. There is only common scenario during first play. From the second play there are heroine scenarios that show up. Surprisingly well done scenario-oriented suspense adventure.  
    4. Koi Suru Science 恋するサイエンス [020412] Complet's 1

    Hiroshi Koizumi is a student at Oshima Private School. One day, he receives an invitation to the science club from a girl named Sakura Sakura.

However, as soon as Hiroshi opens the door to the club, he loses consciousness... When he comes to, Hiroshi finds himself on an operating table. He sees a small girl holding an old book. She's trying to experiment on him! What's going to happen on him!? 
    You will witness mysterious experiments, battles over the old book, and expectations of love in this love comedy. This game might look like a comedy... but in the end it's still a nukige with everything whirling around it. There are hardly any other advantages.  
    5. Maid Hunter Zero One ~Nora Maid~ メイドハンター零一～のらメイド～ [020412] Studio Jikkenshitsu 1

    Reiichi Satsukido is a noncareer public employee, leading a peaceful life. One day, he is suddenly assigned to become a special national agent called 'Maid Hunter!'

Otherwise, he will be demoted and sent to an uninhabited island. Will he succeed in his mission and avoid spending the rest of his life on a deserted island...!? Parody is the dominating feature of this game. But there are a lot of confusing systems in this bakage, including battle system.   
    6. Wasurenagusa ~Forget-me-Not~ 忘レナ草～Forget-me-Not～ [020412] Unison Shift

    A story about a boy that is destined to die, a shinigami that is given the task of taking his soul and the people he is connected... Period is 2 weeks.

You will definitely find an Elfan to suit your tastes!!
    Befriend the Elfans and defeat the evil Net Kizer! Quite a strange bakage with battles and lolis.  
    8. Hanketsu 2 ~Forget Me Not~ 判決2～Forget Me Not～ [020419] Noctovision 1

    The case is not over yet... A half naked woman is taken into protective custody at Jissoji Park around midnight. She has been assaulted and drugged. Her name is Tomomi Sawada, and she was participating in a 'Blue Aqua' ritual prior to the incident.
    Blue Aqua is a cult seminar, led by Kirara Rendaiji. It is quickly spreading among the young female population at Jissoji. There is also a rumor that Blue Aqua uses drugs in their rituals, and Tomomi's case seems to back it up.
    The drug is called 'Blue Seal,' a love potion that shines in blue. The town of Jissoji once suffered from a drug called 'Blue Misty,' but Blue Seal is taking over now. Yura Tojima is the man behind this case, and he tries to reach out to a young female singer, Chiaki Aikawa.

    This is a sequel to the real legal adventure "Hanketsu," and more realistic court trials are depicted than ever before.
    The street musician from the first title, Chiaki Aikawa, is now a professional singer, but she is having problems with her career and with a band member who uses Blue Seal.
    Aya Shirahama is a lovely girl, who happens to know Yuji, but she often causes trouble for Yuji. 
    Misa Sugasawa is a sharp and beautiful legal officer, who has experience in foreign legal services.
    Players will find many other beauties, along with many hot scenes. Get the bad guys and bring peace back to the town of Jissoji!! Of course game is better than it predecessor 4 years ago, but it does not mean it's good. Main character and realism are praiseworthy, but concept, scenario and realization aren't.

Makoto Okano and his younger sister Hinata sit across from each other in the box seats of a local express heading to that town, underneath a blue sky that seems to stretch out to infinity.

    The harmonica, which was handed over together with the promise to that girl.

    Life seems to be the usual...or is it? In this foreign part of Japan, covered in snow and ice, what will happen to Masato and his surroundings? There is an English review.  
    12. Ouma Petit ☆ Kaitouden 逢魔ぷち☆怪討伝 [020424] Sakuraneko

    Demons are actually real. They can take human form and infiltrate human society.  Main character studies at a mission-based school in Yokohama that's rumored to contain hand of a legendary demon in its basement. There are various forces trying to revive the demon. Can protagonist prevent that? School love bakage. Scenario is of not high quality, gags are rarely funny and heroines lack attractiveness.  
    13. My Merry May [020425] KID 1

    This VN tells the story of Kyosuke, a high school student, who lives a normal student's life in a dormitory until one day he receives a strange device from abroad. Inside the device is a female replis, an artificial human being.

Instead of his own personal servant, Kyosuke now has to take care of a teenager with a childlike mind. The remaining cast of heroines include Hitoe Haruna, Yasusuke's childhood friend, Motomi Agatsuma, the girlfriend of Kyosuke's best friend, Ryo Hagimoto, 21-year old Tae Kizuki, and her friend, 13-year old high school student Misao Yuki. Careful character depiction is the main attraction in this work. Even though it's love comedy, it's explained why and how each girl starts to love protagonist.  
    14. Shine ~Kotoba o Tsumuide~ SHINE～言葉を紡いで～ [020425] Vridge Inc. 1 2 3

    One day, the protagonist decided to chase after the dream of becoming a cameraman. To become the student of his famous upperclassman (senpai) cameraman in his university, he headed towards an island in Okinawa area where his upperclassman cameraman lived. On the way to the island, the protagonist met his senpai luckily and was given a very hard assignment to complete. If he complete the assignment, then he could become his senpai's student. That assignment is taking a picture of all SIX girls who he met on the ship by chance. And for some reasons, all SIX girls hate camera. But, there is nothing he can do about it because if he doesn't take their photos, his road to become a cameraman is closed. With that, the protagonist met and parted with those girls repeatedly at the island. And with each of them, conversations are being spinned into stories. There is enough English information.  
    15. Azrael アズラエル [020426] Frontwing 1

    After being saved by the god of death, our hero becomes a messenger of death for girls who are destined to die. Working as a messenger, he has to go through a lot of heart-rending experiences and anguish. Most of us enjoy our lives and don't think about death until something happens to us. Through this game, you'll realize that death is always just a step away... The best scenario out of three 426 works, but it suffers from the lack of volume, so it's difficult to empathize with characters that weren't given enough screen time. There are several endings. Game was sold for just 1/3 of normal price.  
    16. D.U.O. ~Song for All~ [020426] Panda House 1

    It happened on December 25, 2001, right after the new century began. It was the biggest and worst disaster in human history, "Apoptosis Crisis."
    A virus called "apoptosis" begins to destroy human cells. 80% of the Earth's population is killed and the people who survive try their best to revive civilization. 
    A century has passed, and it is now the year 2099 in Tokyo. Something is happening in this big city, where many kinds of ethnic groups reside. The network junkies, called "jugglers," suddenly die an unnatural death. The cause of death is still unclear. However, it is apparent they were all on computer networks when they died. 
    Takuya Takahashi, who is a professional investigator, a "Runner," is asked to investigate the case, and he starts investigating this dangerous disease, without even knowing much about it? Looks like my type of game. I'll review it myself.  
    17. Happy Breeding はっぴ～ぶり～でぃんぐ [020426] Purple Software 1

    Our protagonist (Takashi) has taken the opportunity of working away from his parents home and started living by himself. One day, a strange girl enters his house and eventually comes to stay with him since the house is too big for one person to live in. 
    The girl seems to be searching the person who tended an injury of hers when she was a child, and the protagonist offers his help.
    New girls gradually show up and starts living in the protagonist's house, each with their own purpose that he will try to help them fulfill. Nice heartwarming story, but short - 5 hours is enough to clear. Only one heroine route is special, all the others are unnoticeable.

I started my new life like that. I never expected those things, to miss the everyday life, going to school... and to love... BaseSon had a difficult task to make a remake worthy of famous original, and they actually succeeded at it. There are 5 + 1 secret heroine routes, and each route has something to do with vanishing or loosing. The whole concept of eternal world is focused too much here and there are questions about length, but it's definitely a masterpiece as a pure love game with a good scenario.

Mamoru will have to disguise himself as a girl in order to enter and starts meeting some interesting girls.

    Cosmic Psycho is the only masterpiece of September 1991.
    1. Joker ジョーカー [910905] Birdy Soft 1 2 Wild is the nickname of protagonist. The setting is american Wild West. Years ago "The Great Disaster" happened to the village and Wild's father sacrificed his life to deal with it. On the anniversary of the event talented witch Laura was to see the future of the village, but for some reason she saw nothing. You are sent to a neighboring town to find out about the upcoming danger for the village and probably for the whole world as well. There is an English review of the game.  
    2. Cosmic Psycho コズミックサイコ [910914] Cocktail Soft 1 2 High-school student Kazuki sees a dream where a girl asks for help. The next day after he receives a phone call he finds himself on board of space ship and the girl turns out to be special anti-alien squad member Marin. The phone call was for a different receiver, but it's of no help to Kazuki since he's not stuck on this ship. There is a good review of the game here but it's written from viewpoint of a modern user. Game indeed had morally old 200-lines graphics even for the time of issue, but this game was actually a masterpiece of 1991 and should be given its dues. Lower graphics level allowed to game to be issued for as many as four gaming platforms of the time. First of all it's Cocktail Soft. The same Cocktail Soft that issued astonishing 400-lines Nike two months before. Psycho in title refers to the psycho portal through which the teleportation to another dimension occurred and to alien monster race Ex. The story is not too good, but thriller part is. Game's been called roller coaster adventure for a good reason. While being shorter than usual there is constant sense of urgency in any speech. Events happen one after another and tension keeps stacking. Story develops slowly due to these constant interruptions. This can be called a new method in telling a story. Music was so good that it was probably the first VN that had a separate VN music CD issued. But unlike even in quality Nike, Cosmic Psycho has enough weak sides. And it should be treated as an ambiguous game that was a masterpiece of its time.

This time, Ayayo and her friend Tomoko are taking a stroll and encounter a mysterious creature. Eventually they realize that they are both dead. From that point on the plot focuses on their sexual experiences with demons and Buddhist deities in heaven and hell. There should be no second thoughts what the third part of the series is about - only about H. And since it has realistic HCG, it got banned from selling after the Saori incident.

    2. Memories Off #5 Encore [070712] 1

    Encore takes place in December, about half a year after the events of Memories Off 5, and ends in the following February. In this game, the player is able to experience the story from different perspectives besides that of Kawai Haruto. Encore also only focuses on three heroines whereas previous titles in the Memories Off series tended to feature four to six heroines. Game can basically be called fandisc of #5 since there are only three heroines and no branching endings, thus volume is low. Only few heroines of #5 actually appear. Thanks to zapping (female) point of view there is enough detail in narration. There is a feeling that KID went bankrupt midway and hastily wrapped it all up in a game.

    Anime of the Year 1989 - Venus Senki

    By kivandopulus,


    Anime of the Year
    First of all, with 100 titles after filtering this is getting totally unreadable, so from 1990 I'm moving to coverage per season rather than per year. In 1989 there were quite a few surprises for me as I could call as many as five titles borderline masterpieces Venus Senki , Hoshi Neko Fullhouse , Majo no Takkyuubin , Tezuka Osamu Monogatari: Boku wa Son Gokuu , Assemble Insert with first one turning my personal favorite from this list.    1. Peter Pan no Bouken Peter Pan & Wendy ピーターパンの冒険 [1989-I] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/41) Tags: Adventure, Fantasy Wendy and her two little brothers are brought to the land of adventures, Neverland, by Peter pan, a boy who will never grow up. In Neverland they encounter exciting events and meet with little fairies, mermaids, Indians, and pirates. Required to act as a mother, Wendy never has a moments peace with all that is happening around her, including breath-taking fights with pirates. Later in the series, they set off to find a buried treasure with a map that they obtain from the pirates. Just kids stuff , really.   Overall Rating: 5/10   2. Chinpui チンプイ [1989-I] Shin-Ei Animation (Dropped 3/56) Tags: Comedy TV anime show based on the manga by F. Fujio Fujiko. Chinpui is a mouse-shaped alien, and it's basically Doraemon imitator with girl protagonist and this mascot. Just as in Doraemon, themes are too childish for me already.   Overall Rating: 5/10   3. Obocchama-kun おぼっちゃまくん [1989-I] Shin-Ei Animation (Finished 3/164) Tags: Parody Comedy Based on the children's award winning manga by Kobayashi Yoshinori, serialized in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic. Not translated. And one more Doraemon imitator with small boy protagonist and a new classmate as if from another planet as he does not follow any social norms of behavior. As you can understand, children manga award is given for kids material, although I like to see social norms transgressed, so I'd gladly watch more episodes if they were translated.   Overall Rating: 6/10   4. Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket 機動戦士ガンダム 0080 ポケットの中の戦争 [1989-I] Sunrise (Finished 6/6) Tags: Mecha, Military, Space Drama, Sci-Fi Alfred Izuruha is a 10-year-old who lives in the neutral colony cluster of Side 6 and, like most boys his age, is obsessed with the war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. Unbeknownst to him, Al's next-door neighbor, Christina, is the test pilot of a prototype Gundam being developed in secret by the Earth Federation in the colony. A Zeon Special Forces team is assembled and tasked with infiltrating the colony in order to either steal or destroy it. When a skirmish breaks out between the Federation and infiltrating Zeon forces, the fascinated Alfred stumbles upon a Zaku mobile suit that has been shot down, piloted by Zeon rookie Bernard "Bernie" Wiseman. After this encounter, the two start a mutual friendship, so Alfred can learn more about the war that interests him so much, and Bernie can acquire inside information about the colony to aid his team's mission. For some reason everything Gundam franchise touches gets worse than it would be without it. It's a good thing that franchise tries to introduce some human emotions even if done through spectator kid, but it's still done in the most conservative, rigid and boring way. I did not give masterpiece even to Gunbuster that is a much better example of human emotional drama in mecha.   Overall Rating: 6/10   5. Riding Bean ライディング・ビーン [1989-I] AIC (Finished 1/1) Tags: Seinen Detective, Racing Action Bean Bandit and his partner Rally Vincent are couriers for hire - transporting clients and delivering goods in his custom sports car "Roadbuster" for a hefty price. But when they are hired to escort a kidnapped girl named Chelsea to her home, they don't realize they're being framed for kidnapping as their former clients Semmerling and Carrie plan their escape with Chelsea's father and the ransom money. Better action and humor than expected, but not masterpiece material.   Overall Rating: 6/10   6. Cipher [1989-I] Magic Bus (Finished 1/1) Tags: Shoujo Drama Two brothers are in the spotlight: one a movie star making a football movie, the other a musician who occasionally goes to school (to cover for his sibling). What will destiny bring them? It starts as a music clip with some one-line dialogues rarely showing up on the black screen, continues as animated ad, then as interview, then as movie trailer with dialogues on top of music, then again as a music clip, again an inerview, street poll and so on imitating a TV table ... if you think that a good story can be told this way, go ahead and give this a try. Let my score convey my opinion.   Overall Rating: 4/10   7. Midnight Eye: Gokuu MIDNIGHT EYE　ゴクウ [1989-I] Madhouse (Finished 1/1) Tags: Seinen Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi Furinji Goku is a detective who has an "eye of god". While he was investigating the murder case of his colleague when he had been an officer, he was pressured to stop it by the police executives. However, he continue investigating, and he lost his left eye. When he was about to be killed, a mysterious group helped him and transplant an artificial eye. The eye was a super technological device that connected to the whole computer network in the world, and enabled him to control any computers. Not bad, and I liked many enemy designs and abilities. If Cobra is an epitome of average in the genre, this feels like a better version of it, thus above average.   Overall Rating: 6/10   8. Kimagure Orange☆Road OVA きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード [1989-I] Pierrot (Finished 8/8) Tags: School Comedy, Drama, Romance Shiroi Koibito-tachi Kyousuke Kasuga and his friends are staying at his grandparent's house over winter break on a skiing trip. Everyone is excited until they hear about a curse that spells doom for couples who go down the mountain together. With a net of relationships and crushes on the line, the group's plans are suddenly upended. Hawaiian Suspense Kyousuke and Madoka Ayukawa's trip to Hawaii takes an abrupt turn for the worse when Hikaru Hiyama gets kidnapped! Kyousuke has to find a way to rescue her without revealing his paranormal powers to Madoka. Wagahai wa Neko de Attari Osakana de Attari While studying for exams, Kyousuke wishes that he could switch places with his pet cat or fish so he could have an easier life. But when his grandfather arrives with a magic rope that can be used to swap bodies, Kyousuke finds out he might have gotten himself in too deep. Hurricane! Henshin Shoujo Akane When Kyousuke's cousin, Akane, comes to visit, she stirs up antics with her ability to cast illusions. Things get even crazier when Akane falls for Madoka and becomes Kyousuke's rival in love. Koi no Stage=Heart on Fire!

Now, Kyousuke must get his body back and prevent his secret from getting out before the show begins. Omoi Gakenai Situation Kyousuke has a foreboding dream where Akane attempts to seduce him. Disgusted after having inappropriate thoughts about his cousin, Kyousuke is shocked when she actually asks him to pose as her boyfriend in front of her friends. Rouge no Dengon Madoka's father is in Japan for a performance, and she is excited for the rare opportunity to see him. When she sees her father with a strange woman, however, her emotions are thrown into disarray. Wow, probably first official fan-service spin-off. It has such high level of magic and nonsense that  absolutely can't be taken seriously.   Overall Rating: 5/10   9. Crusher Joe OVA クラッシャージョウ [1989-I] Sunrise (Finished 2/2) Tags: Space Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi The galaxy is a strange and dangerous place, and there are times when even the United Space Force can`t help. That`s where the Crushers come in - skilled troubleshooters who will deal with any problem, large or small, for a fee (large only!) And there is no better Crusher than Crusher Joe! Again an above average show, but lacks humor, so loses to Dirty Pair with similar plots and better humor in this regard. Also can't say I enjoyed it.   Overall Rating: 6/10   10. Rhea Gall Force レア・ガルフォース [1989-I] AIC (Finished 1/1) Tags: Mecha, Military Action, Sci-Fi The Solnoid race is long dead, annihilated along with their enemies in the final battle at Sigma Narse. But their descendants survive on Earth, and have now inherited the sad destiny predicted so many years before. The year is 2085. The third world war between East and West has reduced the cities of Earth to mountains of rubble. The mechanical killing machines created by both sides now ruthlessly hunt down the remnants of humanity. Old hatreds between human factions prevent an effective resistance, and the only hope for survival rests in a desperate plan: evacuate the survivors to Mars Base. There they can rebuild and plan the liberation of the home world. Among them, one young woman carries the guilt of her father`s hand in the destruction of civilization. Unknown to her, she also carries the key to a possible salvation. As destiny draws new friends and allies to her, a new Gall Force is born to rise up against the coming destruction... A lively action due to a great ground battle happening during the whole episode, but next ones are supposed to be in space again.   Overall Rating: 6/10   11. Kasei Yakyoku Nightsong of Splendor 華星夜曲 [1989-I] Magic Bus (Finished 4/4) Tags: Historical Drama, Romance The story takes place in old Tokyo, the Tokyo of August-September 1923 (Showa 12). At this moment in time, the city is a mixture of extremes... past and present, rich and poor, good and bad. This is a city where we see both horsecarts and motorcars, swords and pistols, lords and businessmen. A wealthy woman from an upper-class family finds herself attracted to a handsome young man, Taka. He and his younger brother seem to be allied, perhaps not entirely willingly, with some of the city's criminal underground (Yakuza). The lady's lovely young maidservant, Sara, meets him too, and a conflict ensues which can only lead to tragedy, passion, and dishonor. But, as events move on, and the days pass, the viewer sees a terrible date coming closer... that unforgettable day of September 1, 1923, at 11:58, when the Great Kanto Earthquake and tidal wave struck Tokyo, causing the death of almost 100,000 people, one of the greatest disasters in human history. The first josei ? Anyway, it's a pretty boring story about rich noble ladies in trouble and a defender gangster all in white fighting typical gangsters ... Of course every episode represents vivid example of cliche on notorious woman logic which means absolutely stupid actions because she loves a gangster - like attempt to kill the same gangster or immediately getting married to another man. Await all kinds of romance stamps. There's just nothing for me to like here.   Overall Rating: 5/10   12. Kyomu Senshi Miroku 虚無戦史ＭＩＲＯＫＵ [1989-I] J.C.Staff (Finished 6/6) Tags: Historical, Mythology, Samurai Action, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Supernatural A psychic ninja fantasy suggesting that the assassins did not die out during the Sengoku era but burrowed under Japan, where they fought a new war against the alien occupants of a crashed spaceship that has lain undisturbed for several millennia. Just a normal youkai action with more gore than usual. Nothing stands out here.   Overall Rating: 5/10   13. Yankee Reppuu-tai ヤンキー烈風隊 [1989-I] Toei Animation (Finished 6/6) Tags: Shounen Delinquents Adventure, Drama Impossibly tough and hairsprayed biker boys and girls fight turf wars in the streets, with much revving of motors and "you killed my buddy, prepare to die" dialogue. Based on the Shonen Magazine manga by Masahide Hashimoto, whose hero was so tough that he transferred schools 20 times. Only a Japanese tough guy would continue to go at all! Not translated. Biker wars on their own aren't particularly interesting without a heavy focus on humor and characters.   Overall Rating: 5/10   14. Bakusou Circuit Roman Twin 爆走サーキット·ロマン TWIN [1989-I] Japan Home Video (Finished 1/1) Tags: Racing This OVA centers on a boy named Hyou, who is constantly trying to kill himself for the first half of the show, and Hibiki, a rich, lonely girl who initially wants to commit suicide just because she saw a guy she likes kiss another girl. She ends up running into Hyou, falls in love at first sight, and makes it her mission to basically stalk him and prevent him from killing himself. Not translated. Mentally unstable people do stupid things. The End.   Overall Rating: 3/10   15. Venus Senki Venus Wars ヴィナス戦記 [1989-I] Triangle Staff (Finished 1/1) Tags: Space Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi In the 21st century, mankind lives on two worlds. Following the collision of an ice asteroid, massive terraforming has made Venus a planet now capable of supporting life. Colonists from Earth tamed the hostile world and have thrived for four generations. But they also brought the darker side of humanity. Venus is about to get hostile again. Hiro Seno, a hotshot motorcycle jockey, witnesses the first strike against his country Aphrodia, by the rival nation of Ishtar. Huge battletanks and warplanes quickly lay waste to the city. The Aphrodian army is quick to mobilize and retaliate... and despite his opposition to warfare, Hiro finds himself fighting for his life on the front lines. I don't like racing, real life footage and opening endings. This anime has it all, and I still enjoyed it a lot to the point that I absolutely want to highlight it. It was not clear where it was going at all, so I was anxious what's going on. Great setting and views, great battles great visuals, very nice characters. Just great.   Overall Rating: 7/10   16. Five Star Stories ファイブスター物語 [1989-I] Sunrise (Finished 1/1) Tags: Mecha Action, Drama, Fantasy, Sci-Fi Amaterasu is the god of light, the future emperor of the Joker Star System. Under the guise of young mecha conceptor Ladios Sopp, he is compelled by an old friend, Dr Ballanche, to save his two latest Fatimas Lachesis and Clotho. And so began the stories of the Joker System, as well as Amaterasu's love for Lachesis. For mecha standards it's better than average one, but I kept forgetting that it's mecha at all as it's basically not needed here. Protagonist dresses as a girl, so subtle boys love hints are inevitable. Synopsis is overly complicated for the story that develops rather straightforwardly. This mix of elements was not particularly interesting to me, so could not enjoy it, but it had nice action moments with laser swords, thus...   Overall Rating: 6/10   17. Utsunomiko 宇宙皇子 [1989-I] Nippon Animation (Finished 1/1) Tags: Mythology  Adventure, Fantasy  In the chaos of the Jinshin-no-Ran civil war of 762, a child with a small horn in his forehead was born. The child's mother condemned him as an oni and cast him away. An elderly shūgenja woman claimed the child and named him Utsunomiko, or 'Divine Child of the Heavens', telling Miko that his horn smybolizes the union of heaven and earth. Miko matured in the wilderness learning the ways of Shugendō, and soon started venturing into villages out of curiosity. He found that the common people of the villages live in poverty and suffering, and began using his spiritual powers to help them. But his anger at the self-serving rulers and their petty power-struggles grew until he came into open conflict with the Imperial Court, setting Miko down a long path as a champion of the oppressed. Not translated, because who seriously cares about some ancient yokai mythology adventures. Becomes very chaotic as more flying fire breathing magicians show up.   Overall Rating: 5/10   18. Dragon Ball Z ドラゴンボールZ [1989-II] Toei Animation (Dropped 4/291) Tags: Shounen Martial Arts, Super Power Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy Five years after winning the World Martial Arts tournament, Gokuu is now living a peaceful life with his wife and son. This changes, however, with the arrival of a mysterious enemy named Raditz who presents himself as Gokuu's long-lost brother. He reveals that Gokuu is a warrior from the once powerful but now virtually extinct Saiyan race, whose homeworld was completely annihilated. When he was sent to Earth as a baby, Gokuu's sole purpose was to conquer and destroy the planet; but after suffering amnesia from a head injury, his violent and savage nature changed, and instead was raised as a kind and well-mannered boy, now fighting to protect others. With his failed attempt at forcibly recruiting Gokuu as an ally, Raditz warns Gokuu's friends of a new threat that's rapidly approaching Earth—one that could plunge Earth into an intergalactic conflict and cause the heavens themselves to shake. A war will be fought over the seven mystical dragon balls, and only the strongest will survive in Dragon Ball Z. Sequel loses in humor a bit, but seems to be more integral with the plot and base for fighting arcs. No desire to watch it further, as cliffhangers after each episode make the most of motivation to continue.   Overall Rating: 6/10   19. Ranma ½ らんま1/2 [1989-II] Studio Deen (Dropped 3/161) Tags: Shounen Magical Sex Shift, Martial Arts Comedy, Fantasy, Slice of Life Ranma Saotome is a top-class martial artist and prodigy at the Saotome "Anything-Goes" school of martial arts. While training in China, he and his father meet a terrible fate when they accidentally fall into a cursed spring. Now, Ranma is cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water, and only hot water can turn him back into a boy. Things are only complicated further when Ranma discovers that his father has arranged for him to marry one of Soun Tendo's three daughters in order to secure the future of the Tendo dojo. Though Soun learns of Ranma's predicament, he is still determined to go ahead with the engagement, and chooses his youngest daughter Akane, who happens to be a skilled martial artist herself and is notorious for hating men. Ranma ½ follows the hilarious adventures of Ranma and Akane as they encounter various opponents, meet new love interests, and find different ways to make each other angry, all while their engagement hangs over their head. Actually, I watched at least a dozen of episodes in the past, but it gets repetitive with episodic format. Nice comedy show, but never considered it a masterpiece, only a temporary amusement.   Overall Rating: 6/10   20. Tenkuu Senki Shurato 天空戦記シュラト [1989-II] Tatsunoko Production (Dropped 3/38) Tags: Shounen Action, Fantasy  A 16-year-old boy named Shurato and his friend Gai happen to be drawn into a gigantic ball of light while competing in the final match of a martial arts tournament. When they regain their senses, they find themselves transferred to a mystic heavenly sphere with a divine atmosphere. It's soon discovered that Shurato used to be the governing king of this world and that he has only been brought to his original state. Shurato is shocked as Gai suddenly turns hostile. After this unfortunate incident, a spectacular yet fantastic drama develops involving the two. Looks a lot like Saint Seiya with gods fighting with melee weapons. Super boring, but at least there is a female companion for at least some comedy relief.   Overall Rating: 5/10   21. Idol Densetsu Eriko Legendary Idol Eriko アイドル伝説えり子 [1989-II] Production Reed (Dropped 3/51) Tags: Idols (Female), Music Eriko Tamura is Kousuke Tamura, the chairman of Tamura Productions (reknown music company) and Minako Tamura's (former famous idol singer) only daughter. Having talent for singing since birth, she has always loved her parent's media world. Then one day tragedy strikes when her parents get into a horrible car accident, which kills her father and leaves her mother in coma. She is left in her father's best friend, Mr. Uchida's care. Now Eriko must take the path of singing, a path her parents did not want her to pursue. Then her uncle is out to destroy her career. But in spite of all the hardship, she becomes an idol and wins hearts all over Japan. I try to finish musical anime, but not with this many episodes... there have been at least two idol anime before, but they had only competition and attempt to work/study alongside. Here the study is cast off as a hindrance, and the focus is on exploiting idol by different people. It's curious enough for that reason, but not a masterpiece material .   Overall Rating: 6/10   22. Tatakae!

Following the defeat of the Decepticons on Earth in the Masterforce War, the villains have begun aggressively attacking other planets in the universe. To counter this threat, the Autobots joined with many other civilizations and lifeforms (including Humanity) to form the Galactic Peace Alliance, with Star Saber as its leader. Seeking the energy necessary to free his massive Planet-Destroying Fortress from imprisonment in the Dark Nebula where Star Saber sealed it years ago, the Decepticons' new Emperor of Destruction, Deathsaurus (Dezarus), attacks Earth with his Dinoforce, prompting Star Saber and his team to set up residence on the planet. Guess what - transformers have not become better by now.   Overall Rating: 2/10   23. Madou King Granzort Mado King Granzort 魔動王グランゾート [1989-II] Sunrise (Dropped 3/41) Tags: Shounen Mecha Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Sci-Fi In the future, the moon is a habitable place with atmosphere and gravity and also a famous tourist attraction. There are also stories about a "long ears" creature like rabbits on the moon who can use magic. Haruka Daichi heads off to the moon during a summer holiday alone because he likes to see the long ears creature by himself. However, he get himself dragged into an ancient conflict between two ancient moon races: the "long ears" race and Jado race. Jado race wanted to conquer the universe and resurrect ancient evil powers to seize control of the Earth. Now the "long ears" race and Daichi must seek three warriors who could use magic to release Mado King to fight Jado race and to release "long ears" race's kingdom, Rabiluna, from Jado race. Another crazy mecha which looks absolutely needless as magic is used for fighting. Anyway, thanks to Sunrise big experience, humor is nice, and SD characters are cute. Personally, as soon as evil empreror appeared before three generals and gave orders, anime was already dead for me.   Overall Rating: 6/10   24. Juushin Liger Bio Armor Ryger 獣神ライガー [1989-II] Sunrise (Dropped 3/43) Tags: Mecha Action, Sci-Fi It is 199X A.D. In Kushiro, Hokkaido, three bodies of Dragonite appear. Possessing overwhelming destructive force, they attack the city. They also awaken the evil Jashin Drago from the holy seal he was trapped in. 200 years ago, Drago was trapped in the seal by a holy warrior with the tattooed mark of the Liger. Assuming that the warrior is dead, Drago and Empress Zara are free to conquer the Earth using their army of biomechanical beasts. Even the Japan Self-Defense Forces are no match for the Dragonites' awesome power. One of the people fleeing is the protagonist, a milquetoast 16 year old boy named Ken Taiga. Unbeknownst to the Dragonites, Ken realizes that he is the descendant of the Liger warrior! In a burst of anger, Ken's Liger birthmark appears, and he rises his palm into the air, shouting the henshin command, "LIGER!!!", which then covers him in demonic long-haired biomechanical armor. Ken transforms into Jushin Liger to fight the evil forces of the Dragonite! Mecha with monster of the week... nuff said.   Overall Rating: 5/10   25. Aoi Blink Blue Blink 青いブリンク [1989-II] Tezuka Productions (Dropped 3/39) Tags: Adventure, Fantasy  Story of a young boy named Kakeru and his adventures together with a magical blue pony named Blink. Wow, first TV series of Tezuka Productions, also it's the year when Osamu Tezuka dies, so company becomes a more or less normal anime company after it. So, first of a ll Aoi Blink is a child anime in the genre of fantasy travel, this this regard it's just like Kino no Tabi, just with a pony instead of a bike. Visited towns are truly unique and fun. This anime definitely deserves a masterpiece, but I can't lie to myself - I don't like children anime and travel genre. Absolutely great anime to show to children, though.   Overall Rating: 6/10   26. Miracle Giants Doumu-kun ミラクル・ジャイアンツ童夢くん  [1989-II] Gallop (Finished 0/49) Tags: Sports  Dome Shinjo, a 10-year-old boy who is son of a deceased legendary player of the Yomiuri Giants. From his father he inherited the love for baseball and his great abilities for such sport, although his mother and his older sister try to avoid that he practices it. In fact, his father, before dying, had time to teach him a magical shoot. Dome, after his mother gave him the glove his father used, he makes that shot in a training session of the Giants and is contracted immediately. With the support of the veteran players of the team, this young player will, from this very moment, make the Giants become unbeatable at home and none of the main batters of the Japanese professional league manages to end with his magical shot. Although that does not apply to the games played away, as Dome is just allowed to play at home, in the Tokyo Dome in which his father was consacrated (and the place by which he did chose such name for his son). When the veteran captain of the Dragons manages to bat his shot, it seems that the young boy is finally and definitely defeated, but then he invents another magical shot. New rivals, but also friends (such as Melody Norman, an American girl who disguises herself as a boy because women can't play baseball), will appear in scene, until the arrival of the mysterious Don Carlos, a Spanish ex-bullfighter who plays for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp and seems to have something pending with his father. Will Dome succeed in giving the league to the Giants? Not translated. Not going to watch non-translated anime of the genres I don't like.   Overall Rating: 0/10   27. Akuma-kun 悪魔くん [1989-II] Toei Animation (Dropped 3/42) Tags: Adventure, Fantasy, Horror, Supernatural  The age of the demons has begun.

Faust finds a birthmark on Shingo's forehead that signifies that he is the chosen demon fighter. Faust summons from hell what may be humanity's only hope of surviving: a less than enthusiastic devil named Mephisto rises. After signing a pact in blood to save humankind, Shingo and Mephisto set out to battle the supernatural world. Not translated. I don't like youkai and I'm fed up with Gegege no Kitaro to such an extent that I don't want to watch its movies. Akuma-kun feels a lot like Kitaro, so I can't enjoy it.

The second member is a giant man (known as Tarzan in the live action) with incredible strength. The third member is a effeminate fighter named Huang Chaun that is growing Opium in the prison. The final member is a small man that use sewing needles as his weapons. A super strong prison convict is constantly assaulted , often with dirty methods, but in the end he manages to overcome all difficulties.

At the top of the organization is the beautiful, smart and brave Ms. Cleo, the Group's young, talented Chairman. This is good--it means she can handle the repair bill when that airplane crashes into her bedroom. With stolen artifacts, corporate kidnappings, and top-secret cyborg projects gone awry, her luck only gets worse from there. Three rather disjointed stories with not enough charm added to make it viable.   Overall Rating: 4/10   32. Fuuma no Kojirou: Yasha-hen 風魔の小次郎 夜叉篇 [1989-II] animate Film (Finished 6/6) Tags: Shounen Martial Arts Action, Fantasy Hakuo Academy was once a respected school where many students dreamed of being admitted. Now, its rival academy Seishikan is on a mission to assimilate all other schools, and Hakuo Academy is its next target. Supported by the fearsome Yasha clan, Seishikan students frequently visit Hakuo's campus to assault and forcibly convince their best students and athletes to transfer to Seishikan. Desperate to preserve their legacy, Hakuo Academy enlists the help of Kojirou Fuuma—the only member of the once-legendary Fuuma clan still living in their ancestral village. Kojirou will stop at nothing to defend Hakuo against the Yasha clan, whom the family has feuded with for generations. But will that be enough to stop Seishikan's aggression? Just battle royale between schools, nothing complex or particularly interesting.   Overall Rating: 4/10   33. Explorer Woman Ray EXPLORER WOMAN RAY (エクスプローラーウーマン・レイ) [1989-II] AIC (Finished 2/2) Tags: Action, Adventure  She's an archeologist AND a black belt and Ray Kazuki will need her brains and her brawn as she plunges into a thrill-filled adventure.

On the excavation, Ray meets Mai and Mami Tachibana, freewheeling pubescent girls who heedlessly court danger. And danger they find, in the form of Rig Veda. Veda's after a big prize: Ray's mirror. But she will have to stop him at all costs, because if Veda gets his hands on the powerful object, he will possess secrets that could lead to disaster. Basically, treasure hunter adventures like Lara Croft or Indiana Jones... super boring for me.   Overall Rating: 4/10   34. Hoshi Neko Fullhouse Star Cat Fullhouse 星猫フルハウス [1989-II] Artland (Finished 4/4) Tags: Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi  This slapstick comedy is about three pretty girls struggling to earn a living as pilots of the Iron Goblin delivery vessel. The computer answers back, the space pirates are on their tail, and romantic entanglements with their clients cause friction in the trio. The final episode throws the alien Eterna race in to the mix. Pervy robot, good humor, intrigue of humankind captured by robots from the start, no clear structure from the start - I definitely enjoyed these OVA more than expected ! One little hilarious space harem comedy with right enough length of two hours to not get intrusive.   Overall Rating: 7/10   35. Toki-iro Kaima 朱鷺色怪魔 [1989-II] Mushi Production (Finished 4/4) Tags: Shounen Horror Each episode of the "Toki-iro Kaima" OVA was bundled with a corresponding manga volume and CD single. The idea was that you first read the manga, then watch the OVA, and then conclude your "experience" by listening to the CD. This set of 3 mediums of entertainment was branded as an "Original Comic Video," and "Toki-iro Kaima" appears to be the only "Original Comic Video" that was ever made. Not translated. As OVAs correspond to just one third of experience, it's hard to recommend. Main theme is fight with youkai. Overall, lots of cringe.   Overall Rating: 4/10   36. Shougeki Shinsengumi 笑劇 新選組 [1989-II] (Dropped 0/1) Tags: Historical Comedy A slapstick OVA featuring super deformed members of the Shinsengumi members Not found.   Overall Rating: 0/10   37. City Hunter: Ai to Shukumei no Magnum City Hunter: .357 Magnum シティーハンター 愛と宿命のマグナム  [1989-II] Sunrise (Finished 1/1) Tags: Shounen Action, Comedy, Mystery A beautiful pianist comes to Tokyo for a charity concert, and City Hunter is there. But music isn`t his forte; he wants lessons in the language of love. Desperation becomes the word of the day as the bodies start dropping. A foreign dignitary is assassinated in cold blood. Secret agents scour the streets for a missing microchip. Diplomatic infighting swirls around the upcoming concert, and City Hunter is the only hope! Traits of characters are showed in exaggerated manner, so it was more interesting to watch than the series. Overall still just above average.   Overall Rating: 6/10   38. Sengoku Kitan Youtouden Movie Wrath of the Ninja 戦国奇譚 妖刀伝 劇場版 [1989-II] (Finished 1/1) Tags: Martial Arts, Samurai Action The year a comet races across the sky, splitting the heavens, from the depths of the Earth the dark god shall arise once again. Then, the dark evil lurking in the shadows shall come out of the depths of Hell and show itself in the present world. The emotions of the blade of the wind shall collect at the source of the blue light. And the three blades shall become one, vanquishing evil. The year is 1580, and the unholy armies of Lord Nobunaga Oda steadily spread across Japan. Narrowly escaping the slaughter of her clan, a young ninja steals into the shadows. She is Ayame, the last of the Kasumi clan, and the dagger she wields is one of three, mystical blades. She is joined by Sakon and Ryoma, renegade ninja and the possessors of the sacred sword and spear. Now, these shadow warriors must unite their weapons and skills to fulfill `The Prophesy of the Enchanted Swords` or die trying.. My main problem is that I already saw the three OVAs. Even then I considered that it would look better as a movie. There are probably some improvements now, but I can't evaluate the plot I had already seen, differently.   Overall Rating: 5/10   39. Hengen Taima Yakou Karura Mau!

Shii-chan is the more serious while Mai-chan is more fun-loving. In reality, the two sisters are powerful exorcists from the Karura temple. Each wields half the power...Shii-chan can "see" the spirits, and Mai-chan can banish them. This is the movie adaptation of a spooky series with heavy emphasis on traditionally Japanese occult themes. So let's see - I don't like youkai, exorcism, occultism and horror. Would I like this movie? To my surprise it also got some sunny scenes with merry music and even humor. And then usual gorefest begins.   Overall Rating: 5/10   40. Ultraman USA ウルトラマンUSA  [1989-II] Tsuburaya Productions (Finished 1/1) Tags: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi  The lives of three stunt pilots (Scott, Chuck, and Beth) are changed when they gain the ability to transform into three new Ultra-beings, and form the Ultra Force, to battle four giant Sorkin Monsters.

He finds out about the Ultravirus, a computer virus that controls all others and its location is only known by a little kid. Meanwhile, he steals the Statue of Liberty to look for a diamond the size of a football that is said to be hidden somewhere in it. Apparently, the diamond and the ultravirus are somehow related... A bit unusual due to initial retirement, but moderately interesting part.   Overall Rating: 5/10   42. Konchuu Monogatari Minashigo Hutch (1989) 昆虫物語みなしごハッチ [1989-III] Tatsunoko Production (Dropped 3/55) Tags: Adventure, Comedy, Drama A remake of the 1970's version.

(Finished 6/6) Tags: Detective Action, Sci-Fi Sometime in the future, terrorism in Japan has become commonplace, and the police have become almost as brutal as criminals. A member of the Special Security Force known as Angel, is the best of the best, stopping at nothing in her fight for justice. Things get interesting for Angel and her partner, Raiden, when they begin investigating a series of murders in which the victims were known criminals, killed in very unpleasant ways. This trio of killers known as Hunters, is a group of psychics that have banded together to hunt down the lowest scum in the city and bring them to justice. After a couple of encounters between the cops and the psychics, two of the psychics begin to think that maybe they're not the good guys after all; but the third prefers killing to morality. Augmented by cybernetics from a mysterious source, this third hunter heads out on a killing spree, with the Special Security Force as the first target. Even with help from the other two psychics and her newly cyborged partner (after an unfortunate accident), Angel is going to have her work cut out trying to find the rogue psychic and the organization behind the Hunters. It's terribly horrible, or maybe horribly terrible. Boring beyond redemption.   Overall Rating: 3/10   44. Baoh Raihousha Baoh the Visitor バオー来訪者 [1989-III] Pierrot (Finished 1/1) Tags: Shounen Gore, Martial Arts, Super Power Action, Sci-Fi An innocent young man, Ikuroo, has a parasite known as Baoh implanted in his brain by an evil organization, Doress. The parasite makes him nearly immortal and gives him the ability to transform into a really powerful beastie when he's in trouble. Doress intends to use him in some sort of ploy for financial success, world domination, or something along those lines, but when they're transporting him on a train, a young psychic girl, Sumire (who's being held by the organization due to her abilities), sets him free and the two escape together. Of course, Dr. Kasuminome is the mad scientist behind the whole Baoh thing, and he isn't about to let his test subject get away and he has considerable resources (including some superpowered lackeys, as well as a small army) at his disposal. Generic story and execution. I like graphical style, and maybe someone can like gore, but that's it.   Overall Rating: 4/10   45. Kyoushoku Soukou Guyver (1989) The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor 強殖装甲ガイバー [1989-III] Visual 80 (Finished 6/6) Tags: Super Power Action, Horror, Sci-Fi Shou and his friend, Tetsurou, stumble upon a strange orb-like mechanism, the Guyver Unit, in the woods. It physically bonds with Shou and turns him into the alien soldier, Guyver. His mission is to protect the Guyver Unit from the Japanese corporation known as Chronos. They are after it and two other units just like it. To retrieve the object, they send out vicious monsters known as Zoanoids. So no one is safe in Shou's life; not even himself. Very few mecha can receive 6 from me. This is half biomecha, half superhero, but I treat it the same. I can't deny that directorship and graphics are good. It lacks complexity and interesting characters to masterpiece level, but it's a high quality action series.   Overall Rating: 6/10   46. Shin Captain Tsubasa 新・キャプテン翼 [1989-III] Nippon Animation (Dropped 3/13) Tags: Shounen Action, Sports Shin Captain Tsubasa takes place at the International Jr. Youth tournament (U-16) in Paris, France. After defeating the Argentina Jr. Youth, Italy Jr. Youth and France Jr. Youth teams, Japan Jr. Youth reaches the final against the powerful West Germany Jr. Youth team. The giant goal keeper Müller, the ace Kaltz and Europe's best player Schneider offer the Japan Jr. Youth team an extremely hard final match. I did not notice anything new apart from that it's almost pure sports now with initial humor seeming to be gone, plus team kinda starts anew as it has not won European cups or even Japanese cup yet.   Overall Rating: 5/10   47. Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! Long Life To The Ancestors 御先祖様万々歳!

One day, a beautiful girl appears at their front door, calling herself "Maroko Yomota," granddaughter of Inumaru who travels back in time with a time machine to visit her ancestors. Even with Tamiko's strong objection, Kinekuni and Inumaru welcome her to stay with them, and the structure of a happy family has begun to collapse. Absurdist gag comedy that probably inspired such titles as Zetsubou sensei. As with most absurdist gag sketches, majority is bad, but some are nice, single ones are great. There may be many opinions on it, so in the matter the score depends on whether I could enjoy it or not. And I could not. A lot of attention is required, a lot of irritation builds up, but without a proper reward for the viewer.   Overall Rating: 6/10   48. Legend of Lemnear: Kyokuguro no Tsubasa Valkisas Legend of Lemnear Legend of Lemnear 極黒の翼 バルキサス [1989-III] AIC (Finished 1/1) Tags: Action, Adventure, Fantasy  The young and beautiful Lemnear's home village is destroyed and her brother is taken away. Lemnear swears to kill the evil wizard Gardin who is responsible for the disaster. With her allies Lemnear goes on a journey to take her revenge.

In the course of fighting with Lan, Sonnet starts to rediscover her humanity. At the same time Lan has to fight to retain her humanity and control the Crimson Fang.

Unfortunately, his grand-daughters refuse to pilot it! Apparently, they've got more important things to do than becoming teenage super-heroes. Besides, how are you supposed to study for your college entrance exams while getting beaten-up in battle? Fortunately for Dr. Kishida, things aren't too well for the invaders, either. According to their reports, the Earth was the perfect target: lush, peaceful, and relatively defenseless. Theoretically, the planet should've surrendered long ago. Now, the war is at a standstill, the dreaded Accounting Department is warning about the serious cost overruns, and the head of the home office has arrived from Galactic Headquarters to personally oversee operations. Has Headquarters decided to unleash, The Audit—or do they have something even more evil in mind? The fate of the world rests upon two people: Aya Kishida, one of the doctor's granddaughters, who may have to give up prep school to pilot the mighty (and lovely) ARIEL; and a mysterious alien named Saber Starblast, who may have the power to defeat the invaders once and for all... Another mecha opposes another alien invasion, nothing to see here, really.   Overall Rating: 5/10   51. Midori no Neko The Green Cat 緑の猫 [1989-III] Tezuka Productions (Finished 1/1) Tags: Mystery  The story is a mystery about a green cat and a private detective who investigates where it came from. The cat was thought to be good luck, but eventually brought misfortune to all those who come in contact. The story was taken directly from the 5th subtitle of the 1950s Lion Books manga. It does not look like it has touch of Osamu Tezuka as it's a rather tasteless short movie without  intrigue.   Overall Rating: 4/10   52. Hi-Speed Jecy High Speed Jessie ハイスピード・ジェシー [1989-III] Pierrot (Dropped 3/12) Tags: Action, Sci-Fi  Jecy is a young man on a quest for revenge; he lost his parents to the hands of the organized crime syndicate called the Bismark House - a group on a hunt to acquire a product called ‘lyzorium' at any cost.

Ryo works for NASA as an engineer on a large rocket project. Anise, fellow Borgman and lover, has been reduced to flipping burgers in a restaurant. So naturally, when she gets a letter offering her a professional job in a big, Japanese, high-tech project, she jumps at the chance. Ryo, however, is as indecisive as ever and so she leaves for Japan without him. Chuck Sweager, the third Borgman, is a police officer, as is his girlfriend Miki. When she witnesses a fight amongst several cyborgs she tells Chuck, who says flatly that it cannot be possible, since the only living cyborgs are Ryo, Anise, and himself. But she convinces him and they investigate. Anise arrives for her new job, and when they meet for dinner they explain the situation to her. Anise volunteers to sneak around the Heaven's Gate project, which they believe to be the source of these new cyborgs. Ryo, meanwhile, is en route to Japan to go after his girlfriend. Accompanying him is Hussan, one of the two surviving researchers on the Borgman Project, who has been asked to appear before the Tokyo Police to help investigate. Once the entire cast is in Japan, things begin to get complicated. Much more serious than the series, so can give it a boost above which it can never elevate though.   Overall Rating: 6/10   56. Shin Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru Majinzan  真魔神英雄伝ワタル 魔神山編 [1989-III] Sunrise (Finished 2/2) Tags: Mecha Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Sci-Fi Set a few months after the original series, Wataru is called into action once again! Dragon Ball Z presents characters as juveniles rather than kids as earlier, so niche of similar anime with kids kinda gets free. And Wataru with SD characters and almost exact copy of Bruma is the most close imitator. But its target audience is children, so despite all the flashy action and gags I just can't find it interesting for me.   Overall Rating: 5/10   57. Seishun Fuufu Monogatari: Koiko no Mainichi 青春夫婦物語　恋子の毎日  [1989-III] Nippon Animation (Finished 1/1) Tags: Seinen Organized Crime Comedy, Drama, Romance, Ecchi In a story that flits between serious drama and comedic farce, Shinjuku gangster Sabu and his young wife Koiko try to live a normal life, despite the interferences of gang politics and criminal deals.

Not translated. Rather unpleasant OVAs to watch as protagonist yakuza Sabu constantly nitpicking about everything to his wife, wife being cheerful and dressing a bit bright and yakuza boss Tominaga speaking only about Sabu wife all the time. I doubt that anyone would watch this anime, so in the end boss learns to treat Koiko as a person and stops thinking about her as an object, Sabu checks out from  clinic because of wounding just in time to save Koiko from another gang. The only existing quality of video is very bad.   Overall Rating: 4/10   58. Midoriyama Koukou Koushien-hen 緑山高校 甲子園編 [1989-III] Animaruya (Dropped 0/10) Tags: School, Team Sports Comedy, Sports The story of students of a baseball team from Midoriyama High School, who will participate in the 66th National Championship Tournament of Senior High School Baseball in Japan.

Before long, Kiki decides to open her own courier service by broomstick, beginning her journey to independence. In attempting to find her place among the townsfolk, Kiki brings with her exciting new experiences and comes to understand the true meaning of responsibility. Watching it for the first time.

Feeling something isn't right, Gokuu rushes home, only to find Chi-Chi lying on the ground as she explains the situation. He then goes to Kame House and borrows the Dragon Radar in order to locate the Dragon Balls and, with them, the enemies and Gohan.

As several Labors begin to go haywire and a hacked AI program endangers the people of Tokyo, young pilot Noa Izumi and her Patlabor Alphonse work under Gotou's orders to save the city and the entire nation from a massive biblical conspiracy.

A pioneer of animation, McCay created the first Little Nemo animated movie in 1911.Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata were attached to this project at first, but left due to "creative differences." Ray Bradbury is also thought to have left the project in its earlier stages.Little Nemo - Adventures in Slumberland is the first Japanese anime to receive a national (wide) U.S. theatrical release. The film opens with the young boy Nemo experiencing a nightmare in which he is pursued by a locomotive. Upon awakening the next day, he goes with his pet flying squirrel, Icarus to see a parade welcoming a traveling circus. However, Nemo is unable to see the circus since his parents are too busy to take him. Later that night, Nemo imitates sleepwalking in an attempt to sneak some pie away, which acts against a promise he had made earlier to his mother, who catches him in the act and makes him run back to his room empty-handed. Upon actually falling asleep later that night, Nemo is approached by figures from the circus parade. The circus organist introduces himself as Professor Genius and claims that they had been sent on a mission by King Morpheus, the king of a realm named Slumberland. The mission involves Nemo becoming the playmate of the princess, Camille. Although Nemo initially has reservations about interacting with a girl, he and Icarus decide to set off to fulfill his mission after being persuaded with a gift box of cookies from the princess. Long things short - everyone left so studio just made an ordinary movie for kids and even showed it in USA, which for me equals a black stamp for being an absolutely toothless work. Reminded me the earliest Toei movies like Gulliver's Space Travels, and - believe me - it's not a praise.   Overall Rating: 5/10   67. Kankara Sanshin かんからさんしん [1989-III] Tokyo Animation Film (Dropped 0/1) Tags: Historical Drama A film about the Battle of Okinawa during the last days of World War II.

After the war Okinawa was under the control of the United Stated Military. Without any goods and extreme scarcity of Natural resources the Okinawans were in a desperate day to day survival for the basic needs of life. The Okinawans however, despite their dire situation used song and dance to lighten their spirit and make the best of the situation. But with the loss of almost everything of value on island due to constant shelling bombing and fighting between the Japanese and American all the regular sanshin (an Okinawan musical instrument and precursor of the Japanese shamisen) had become very scarce and hard to find. The American were supplying the Okinawans with powdered milk among other items to help keep starvation low. And from those cans of food they would find a way to bring music back to the people again.

However, though the robots are only machines, their operators are also only human—and humans sometimes turn to crime. Since a heavy labor unit can be a dangerous weapon, the police of the future are set to fight fire with fire, using advanced patrol labor units, "patlabors." This is the story of the Second Special Vehicles Division, a motley crew of patlabor policemen and women doing their best to fight crime and live a normal life. Series bring Patlabor back from Movie level to initial OVAs level as it benefits from longer serious stories much more than from comedy SOL with short stories.   Overall Rating: 5/10   70. City Hunter 3 シティーハンター3 [1989-IV] Sunrise (Finished 13/13) Tags: Shounen  Action, Comedy, Mystery Ryo Saeba is a "sweeper" know as the City Hunter. He and his sidekick Kaori Makimura are hired to solve problems that the police can't (or won't) handle. When he's not keeping the streets of Tokyo clean, Ryo is chasing the ladies, and Kaori chases after him with a giant anti-ecchi hammer. I liked that in this season traits are like in previous Movie, or exaggerated. Also it is probably one of the first anime that has 13 episodes in the season not out of necessity, but out of choice. This way it's much easier to have a central theme and not fall into episodic hell. Still show is episodic in nature and is on self-repeat, nowhere close to a mastepiece.   Overall Rating: 6/10   71. Yawara!  [1989-IV] Madhouse (Dropped 3/124) Tags: Combat Sports, Martial Arts Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life, Sports High school student Yawara Inokuma lives a completely happy and ordinary life.

Moreover, Yawara is the only granddaughter of the seventh dan Judo master Jigorou Inokuma, who expects her to become a Japanese Judoka superstar of the '90s. Yawara cautiously hides her strength from everyone to maintain a normal reputation but is often pushed to situations when she must exercise her Judo skills. Observing Yawara's immense potential from the shadows, Kousaku Matsuda, a sports reporter from a substandard paper, is willing to do everything he can to bring her into the limelight. Always hated Yawara , both the game and the anime.

The young boy goes through several heartwarming, bittersweet, and life-threatening adventures as he seeks after his true purpose in life. And one of many dangers he has to face is the man-eating tiger, Shere Khan... Only has official dub which means it's a spineless toothless maximally boring show for kids. Can't recommend it for adults for sure.   Overall Rating: 4/10   73. Jungle Taitei (1989) ジャングル大帝 [1989-IV] Tezuka Productions (Dropped 3/52) Tags: Adventure, Drama Leo (a.k.a. Kimba in the U.S.) is a young ambitious lion cub who takes his father's place as emperor of the jungle when is father is killed by poachers. Even though his father's fate was met by the hands of humans, Leo is one of the few animals in the Jungle that doesn't fear or feel hatred toward humans. He is not alone either, he is guided by friends of his father to help create the best animal kingdom there can be. How come it's not marked as for kids, seriously? What on Earth can interest an adult here...   Overall Rating: 4/10   74. Teki wa Kaizoku: Neko-tachi no Kyouen The Enemy's the Pirates!: The Cats' Banquet 敵は海賊 ～猫たちの饗宴～ [1989-IV] Production I.G, Madhouse (Finished 6/6) Tags: Comedy, Sci-Fi  Apulo (a cat-like space alien with the ability to lock a human's emotions) and Latell work for the Division of Space Piracy (or DSP for short). The two of them are extremely destructive in their solving of DSP cases. They are attempting to stop Youmei the space pirate from exploiting Computer Aided Thinking for his own nefarious plans. Why is it so bad, seriously? Only absurd and no meaning till half 5th and final episode.

Despite the warnings from her parents, she escapes to Earth to help her friends. Because she was caught using magic in front of humans, she had to erase her friends' memories. Now Sally will remain on Earth so she can regain Sumire and Yoshiko's friendship while helping other humans in trouble. Original was surprisingly interesting and memorable. This one is totally wrecked and made for kids only. A shame.   Overall Rating: 4/10   76. Seton Doubutsuki Seton Animal Chronicles シートン動物記 [1989-IV] Eiken (Dropped 3/45) Tags: Adventure, Fantasy Documentary in which the achievement of Ernest "Black Wolf" Thompson is settled in different Episodes. Every single episode is a documentary in which one sort of Animal is described. I remember reading Seton Thompson books as a kid - of course all of them were about animals. Actually, some of these 45 animal stories were already shown as movies in 60s-70s. I consider it to be show only for kids. It usually has some restrained animal undergoing hardships.   Overall Rating: 4/10   77. Momotarou Densetsu 桃太郎伝説  [1989-IV] Knack Productions (Dropped1/51) Tags: Adventure, Comedy  Momotaro travels with companions Kaguya-hime and Kintaro and aims to defeat demon king.   Just one episode is translated.

Humor is ok.   Overall Rating: 5/10   78. Kariage-kun かりあげクン [1989-IV] Toei Animation (Dropped 3/59) Tags: Seinen Comedy, Slice of Life From putting his head of department to embarrasment by announcing to everyone that he has haemmorrhoids through the PA system in a public park to making a whole district dissapointed by putting a notice that there will be a fireworks display, and apparently the only "display" is him holding one small fireworks, Kariage-kun tells the amusing everyday life of, well, Kariage-kun. His typical victim is his head of department, although anyone (or anything) can become a prey to his irony or sarcasm. The story began and ended with no special beginning or endings, but it is arranged chronologically (in the sense that it follows seasonal changes). Not translated. Comedy SOL is one genre the Japanese excel at, and this is one of the most prominent examples, sadly, not translated.   Overall Rating: 6/10   79. Ys Ys イース [1989-IV] Tokyo Kids (Finished 7/7) Tags: Mythology Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy Mythical beasts lay siege on the people of Esteria, who have raised an army to fight back. The beasts are relentless and seemingly have no end to their numbers, while the population of defenders dwindle in every skirmish. Even in the town of Minea, where the people are safely nestled behind castle walls, the constant attacks have left them hopeless. It is then that a prophecy is made, proclaiming the arrival of a brave young soul that could be the one who will bring their salvation. Ys follows Adol Christin, an adventurer driven by wanderlust towards the island of Esteria, who washes up on shore after a shipwreck. Following the guidance of the fortuneteller Sarah Tovah, he and his allies will travel the island in search of the legendary tomes known as the Books of Ys. It will be a long and perilous journey, but if fate is truly at work then Adol will certainly be the hero who returns peace to Esteria. I absolutely hate game series, because I always play at hardest available difficulty, and Ys at hardest becomes an unforgiving crazy piano with exact timings. Anime is not responsible for that, but it inherits some giant enemies (giant centipede in anime revoked a lot of horrible memories) and simple concept of chosen hero and the need to save princess by gathering 6 Ys books. Story and personalities are too simple to aim at high scores.   Overall Rating: 5/10   80. Midnight Eye: Gokuu II Goku II: Midnight Eye MIDNIGHT EYE　ゴクウII [1989-IV] Madhouse (Finished 1/1) Tags: Seinen Super Power Action, Adventure, Mystery, Sci-Fi Goku, the lone wolf private detective is back, contracted by Yoshiko, a mysterious, beautiful and very afraid woman, to find and save her brother, Ryu.

Will Goku have to kill the man he is supposed to save? Will even his omniscient cybernetic eye and sceptre be enough to help him defeat this indestructible killing machine?

Furious over the engagement, both A-Ko and B-Ko do whatever it takes to prevent the wedding from going through. Little do they know that another alien fleet is on its way towards Earth. Only first original movie was memorable, and I consider Finale to be return to the roots - enough fanservice, humor, personal relations and especially global city destruction. It makes finale watchable, but not above average.   Overall Rating: 5/10   82. Seijuuki Cyguard Cybernetics Guardian 聖獣機サイガード [1989-IV] AIC (Finished 1/1) Tags: Mecha Sci-Fi, Supernatural A freak accident unleashes a demonic spirit within researcher John Stalker - transforming him into Saldo, a mythical cyber-beast fueled by hate and evil.

When the time comes Jiro must contend with enemy oni, dark cultists, and their minions while attempting to protect both his parents and girlfriend from their depredations. Ultimately he must embark on a journey through the past, future, and other dimensions to embrace his destiny as Shuten Doji reborn.

Years previously the human race discovered the ruins of an ancient ship beneath the moon's surface and used the knowledge gained to create weapons of war. Eventually these weapons turned against mankind, seeing them as a threat and deciding the only way to stop these war loving humans was to destroy them. Heavily influenced by the 1988 Terminator movie, this new series focuses upon Sandy Newman as she leads a band of warriors in an attempt to reclaim the earth from the machines. If they can reach a group of unlaunched nuclear missiles, they can take out the machine`s headquarters located in Australia. Can be called the best part so far, but suffers from poor directorship and ends in an absolutely enragingly nonsensical way.   Overall Rating: 6/10   87. Makaryuudo Demon Hunter 魔狩人  [1989-IV] Studio Fantasia (Finished 1/1) Tags: Gore, Mythology Supernatural Yama Rikudo is not your average teenage girl.

    Tags: Seinen Comedy Follow a cast that makes pornographic movies. The loves and loyalty it creates and the friction it causes. The focus of the OVAs is H, and that makes it hentai by definition.

Flora is adored by her students, the principal of the school, and all the town’s people, and enjoys a peaceful life in the town. By chance, she meets a strange youth named Locke. Locke has numerous superpowers, although he is very discreet about them and gives the impression of being an ordinary youth. One day, Locke is visited by a Military man, Major Caliann, who requests Locke’s assistance in their investigation of Lordleon. Lordleon and his space pirates have attacked the enterprise Astoria Concern, but the chairman, Great Georg, didn’t report the incident to the Union. The Union (aware of the attacks) thought this was very strange, and decided to investigate Lordleon with Locke's help. Locke the Superman was a horrible anime Movie about espers in 1984.

Kanzuki at the request of Jinnai's daughter Kaori decides to search for the killer and in the process gets involved into feud for the Satake clan leadership.  Not translated. Actually, very similar to Shinshuu Sudama-hen - same yoshiwara, same killings - a mix of gore and nakedness. The main change from that is bigger tilt into comedy and better plot.

    Foreword: Game has a very strong start and intriguing concept which made me play to the end. It differed from my initial expectations, but it's a very original and good-looking game, so I don't regret playing it.
    Title: Angel Halo
    Developer: Active
    Date: 1996-10-25

    Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c39QbpcwcZs&list=PLENAECnNmAq-m-9QhCmoIlz4DWBEqTwHq

     Synopsis: The protagonist, Kusakabe Makoto, is living a normal school life without knowing he is the reincarnation of Lucifer. One day an angel named Sofia and a demon named Lilith come to him. They are the messengers of Heaven and Hell. The day of Lucifer's judgement is approaching.
    Structure: Two routes depending on choosing Angel or Devil side with total number of endings being 5.
    Length: 5 hours
    Game type: AVG 
    Difficulty: Branching is actually very easy as only 2-3 first choices determine the ending, but there are many fake choices, so it can look confusing.
    Character Design rating: 6/10
    Protagonist rating: 5/10
    Story rating: 7/10
    Game quality: 7/10
    Overall rating: 7/10

    Rating comments: Game barely makes it to 7 which is still considered a masterpiece by me. The first route story was really impressive worth 8 or 9, but all the others were the very same route with some minor variations, mostly just before the ending. Characters are good-looking, but aren't developed. Protagonist is a pushover, as usual. But naked angel girls with gorgeous wings help the evaluation a lot. And there's some charm in seeing all the endings.
    Protagonist: Makoto is an ordinary high school student who gets to know from one of the transfer students Lilith that he's an incarnation of the Satan and is going to destroy all life on the Earth in two weeks on Christmas Eve of 1999. And another transfer student Sofia says that Makoto is a savior of humanity. He does not believe either of them. But Sofia shows him her wings and Lilith introduces him to the world of pleasures, so he ends up taking one of the sides. I did not like protagonist since he was just killing time in school. He was hating his dull life and wanted for this unexciting life on Earth just perish one day even before meeting transfer students. He has an osanajimi Marimo in the same class and with all the otherworldly business he just forgets about her completely only stumbling upon her by pure chance in one of the routes. In Angel route he's passive, in Devil route a total dick.

    Characters: There aren't really character routes, so individual characters aren't developed. We get an angel Sofia, a devil Lilith, a childhood friend Marimo, a teacher Ruida who comes from the descendants of angels and male friend Shinichi. The rest of the characters are one-time thing and no female character stays without a H event. Ruida is actually a character who undergoes a lot of development. She's a natural ally of Sofia, but gets seduced by Lilith in the beginning who amplified her lust. So Ruida gets into a difficult position where she does not want the world to end, but can't resist Lilith's will as well and that leads to unexpected results in some endings. Shinichi is also worth mentioning as he's a stoic and benevolent character - he acts as a sempai in relations with Makoto.
    Story: There's actually not much in the story department after the opening sequence. Both Sofia and Lilith invite Makoto to their houses in the evening and this choice determines the side while following sub-choice determines the ending. Then for about two hours goes a fixed part of the story with Makoto finding indecent activities at school and in the part and also discovering a bonded missing girl in the church who craves for intimacy. Only being able to repress this temptation opens up the best angel ending. And the second half of the story depends on the chosen side. As a devil apprentice Makoto is encouraged just to do as he likes and wait for the world demise and following an angel path he needs to get intimate to several school girls who have are angel descendants. Doing that is supposed to restrain the Satan in him from breaking loose. This part is good as girls have their own wills and require some evidence or persuasion. But Makoto is such a failure protagonist that he can only whine. Sofia encourages him to use his super messiah power to make girls believe he is the Chosen one, but she does not know how that works and Makoto is not able to find that out, so the fate of the world depends on a chain of random events mostly. I hope I did not spoiler too much by now, but I also need to emphasize the endings. I started with the devil ending and it was impressive. The second devil ending was of the same pattern, but Makoto got his own malicious will to aggravate things even more. But finishing angel route I also got a bad ending... WTH? Second angel ending was also a failure. I'm glad I left the final best angel ending for the final... and it was impressive and impactful - that's all I can say without spoilers. Since I got a video of playthrough up, it's not difficult to see for yourself now.

    CG: I absolutely liked this dim retro palette and gothic uniform. There's a lot of attention to the dressing and those corsets, black t-shirts, long stockings and church-like gowns impress indeed. There is a substantial number of CG.
    Sound: Game is fully voiced (apart of the narrator). I found some exceptions to this rule when Makoto tells a long history of one city district and he's not voiced at that time. But it was really exciting to find a 1996 game with full voicing. BGM are actually nice, but the level can't be adjusted. I had to turn it off at times where the dramatic loud melody prevented from listening to the characters. BGM volume is not adjustable and it's a bit too high to my liking. 
    Themes: Game's based on thy hype over millennium shift. I personally like apocalyptic theme in visual novels - I liked Subarashiki Hibi, Shuumatsu no Sugoshikata and will definitely review Tsui no Sora one day.
    There is also a nice fallen angel theme with its logical realization in one of the endings. 

    Overall comments: Game of big unrealized potential. My biggest complaint that there is no action in the game even though there all prerequisites for it. For example, there's this Lilith butter servant with a sadistic face. He's destined to be a villain, but he only participates in on rape scene and then shows up several time in Lilith room and... that's all. But Angel Halo also failed as love drama. There this supercute Marimo childhood friend who loves the hero, but she only plays a very episodic role literally occasionally bumping into the hero in one of the evil routes and thus getting her ending by pure coincidence and inside an evil devil route. So it all gets down to listening the explanation of Makoto role and just waiting or trying to fix his fate by mating with angel descendant girls. And Sofia with Ruida act more like pimps to drag girls to Makoto and threaten the girls with the end of the world in case of resistance. That's hardly much different from Lilith approach especially in the light that Sofia uses her body to attach Makoto to the light path and not the Heavenly means or reasoning. But as this unnatural situation gets underlined by all 5 endings the game gets some charm over it, not a logical conclusion type of charm, but that of the chaos solution for the chaos situation. And we also love Japanese visual novels for this impactful and affectionate chaos.

    Foreword: I see girls crying as disgusting, so I'm ill-suited for reviewing nakige - checking out different reviews might be a better idea (1 2 3 4 5 6). However, Dear My Friend by the same scenario writer and artist left a lasting impression on me, so I don't mind checking their new work that even contains fantasy elements. There are several heroines who don't cry all the time, anyway.

    Synopsis: To Hatoba Kazuki, Nonosaki Akiho had been an irreplaceable being. For as far as when she and her sister, after the loss of their parents, were taken in long ago, she had taken the role of his big sister, his mother, his sweetheart. To him, the loss of her figure meant the world had crumbled down, for him who had managed to gather up courage and confess, days before summer break.
    A couple of months later, as the pain of parting still remained vivid, the ghost of Akiho appears before his eyes, save little for warning. "I still had memories left here", she said softly, a soft smile attached to her face.
    Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltZdNlAFmms&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv8GVE5uGaaga-vYlwP48xxP
    Game type: Nakige
    Character Design rating: 8/10
    Protagonist rating: 7/10
    Story rating: 6/10
    Game quality: 8/10
    Overall rating: 7/10

    Whys is it evaluated lower than Dear My Friend? Exactly because of nakige nature of the game. Every time Tsubasa shows up, I just have to skip some time because Tsubasa either cries already or will cry in couple minutes. Mukatsku... Introduction with Chihaya also occurs under girl's heavy cry, initial impression is spoiled already and I'm kinda skipping these two routes for evaluation completely if I'm going to get any positive emotions out of this game at all.
    Compared to Dear My Friend quality and great SOL scenes remain same exciting. But score for heroines and protagonist is lower. Story was never much of a thing, but this time development is very slow, and common route occupies five of six chapters. On one hand it allows to introduce a lot of funny SOL and zapping scenes to show girls' point of view, but on the other hand leaves only a single chapter to actually fall in love with a heroine and date her. Some words about heroines.

    The problem with Akiho is that she is quite light-minded and that she is everywhere (not just because she is a ghost). She is girlfriend from the start, and after her death no other romantic interest is found by Kazuki. So when she shows up again as a ghost, Kazuki suggests dating again, and it continues the whole common route. Her route is definitely main one due to her special status and miracle happening to her. But it poses problems for other heroines. It does not really look convincing how Kazuki can shift to another heroine after loving Akiho all his conscious life and 5 of the 6 chapters of the game. Of course, other heroines are humans, but it does not make it much easier. So Akiho route should probably be played last as True one.
    As for exorcist miko tsundere Tamami, she is really nice, but sort of simplistic. I favor more complex and mature archetypes.

    It was pretty strange for me to discover that many Japanese reviews find a lot of elements to criticize. I find treating death lightly as a good thing here. It provides a generally funny atmosphere and deserves praise for not trying to squeeze a tear everywhere possible. Nakige is built upon heroines' complexes and relations mostly, so different readers may choose which heroines to prioritize and thus focus on comedy or nakige.
    Overall, a great game. My seemingly low score only follows from nakige nature of the game and direct comparison with Dear My Friend. Every fan of the genre should definitely try it, but even haters like me can find elements to appreciate.

Walking home after wrapping up the enrollment procedure at their new school, they noticed a large truck stopped outside of their house. Since they had already moved everything in, they wondered what it was doing there. They found the door unlocked and nervously went upstairs worried that there might be a burglar. Instead they found a girl pushing a giant piano with all her might… while in her underwear. They stood dumbfounded at the absurd sight. Why was there a half-naked girl in their house? Soon she noticed them and yelled at them to get out. A few minutes later, she came out in a beautiful dress. “I am deeply sorry for my earlier actions. My name is Ruria Fondina. I have come here to live with you as family.” She was a princess from a certain island nation. That was only the beginning as many other princesses showed up at their door one by one!

Where that was or how I got there, I don't know. I couldn't even remember my own name. The memories just wouldn't come. I only had a moment, left at a loss, to ponder what to do — but fate seemed intent on furthering my misery as a giant, insect-like monster burst from the snow and ice to attack me. Naturally, I ran like hell. The creature cornered me anyway. That's when SHE appeared, as if from nowhere — the beautiful, mysterious girl who saved my life. She told me her name was Kuon. A beautiful, mysterious girl... ...with a tail and ears like a beast's. RPG is localized and has English reviews

With Christmas approaching, one of his internet friends asks him if he really plans to spend Christmas alone, without even trying to get a girlfriend. Jun had never really bothered with the idea until his friend mentioned it to him. Maybe he should just spend his entire life without bothering to find one. But then again, does he really want to spend the rest of his life like this? Never even daring to take a step forward in an attempt to change it?

  17. kivandopulus
    Quite a bland month with few games. There aren't masterpieces this month, but I still need to choose the game of the month that I would record on video. So I need to choose something without gameplay elements, too much insult and not too evident plot. The only game that suits my demands is Purepure, and thus it's the game of the month that deserves a video playthrough.
    1. Costume☆Paradise ~Cinderella Rhapsody~ こすちゅうむ☆パラダイス ～シンデレラ狂想曲～ [000512] Rhapsody

    A huge entertainment theme park "Cinderella" is build on an island in Tokyo Bay aimed to "fulfill all people's dreams". Hero is a medical college student who works here as a part-time emploee. The hourly is sky high, but he is required to cosplay along with the girls. He overcomes  embarrassment and starts to pay attention to the cute girls around him. It's mostly a comedy. It's possible to chase pure love or step the devil path. Not particularly interesting, but quite unique and memorable.   2. Marionette Company 2 Chu! マリオネットカンパニー 2 [000518] Micro Cabin 1

    In the game, you play a student in a high school - I believe you're supposed to be the same guy from part 1, as you keep on having memories of the Marionette from the original game. One day, you stumble upon a pair of abandoned marionettes, one called Marine and the other called Maria. You take Marine under your care while a rival and all-together obnoxious classmate called Arese takes Maria under hers'. Arese is under the impression that marionettes are nothing more than robots with a heart made of computer circuits, but your experience with part 1, where you apparently managed to raise the original marionette to near human form, has you convinced otherwise, and you intend to prove Arese wrong. Finally focus has been shifted from training to adventure in sequel. We mostly run around getting the elements from shops or elsewhere, from those elements we gather upgrade parts. We choose the parts ourselves, so can tune up marionette appearance. It's basically a galge now with lots of events triggered by upgrades. There is not just one girl now, but it's possible to target other ones. Duration has been cut from 6 months in prequel to just one month.    3. Kakuriyo no Mon 幽世ノ門 ～かくりよのもん～ [000519] Air Plants

    In the ancient times gods created three worlds and gates between them separating human world from ghost worlds.
    Yagami has no parents and lives with his grandfather. He comes from an ancient demon hunter birth-line who have guarded the gates between the worlds for as long as the world existed. Yagami is one of five guardians of different elements - he is the the master of fire. After meeting one girl his live starts to change rapidly. At least there is some story. So I started it. This is mostly a comedy. It starts with the hero, girl Moe and a bodyguard come to skyscraper and they start to explore it room by room finding all kinds of crazy cults inside the rooms (including H events there). When they get to one of the top floors eventually there's some master that teaches us about five elements and which element offsets what. Well, I've spent over half an hour there and still can't make through it, so it's a drop. I've looked at the screen of this pentagram already, drawn it myself, nothing really helps - there must be a time limit which is not shown. Anyway, game has serious system flaws. First, there is autoplay, but it kind of stops after scene sequence and I have to click manually on. There is voicing in the first scene, but actually no voicing on. Sound levels are non-adjustable and bgm roars like mad luckily ending in some 30 seconds each time. Game is a comedy, but up to that point I did not find jokes and situations funny at all. As it's reported in the only review found battles are same torturing further on - enemies attributes change constantly over time and you need to counter it with the right element within time limit each time. What a bothersome game. First playthrough time is only two hours.   4. Oni no Sumu Sakura 鬼ノ棲ム桜 [000519] AnotherRoom

    The university college mystery research group tries to recreate the events of a legend that happened 300 years ago. At that time young priest arrived at "Touchou Shrine" and was a witness of 60 villagers massacre from the hands of a demon. That priest managed to defeat the demon in the end.  The research club has a bullied member who's going to have his revenge this night. As the bells ring only red moon envelops the screams of the girls. Only unstoppable desire and murderous intent governs this night so that the legend gets repainted. The synopsis is not your usual nukige stuff, so I need to elaborate. It's pretty much a nukige, but with killings. And it is such, because the scenario is really bad - the outline is drawn vaguely and pretty much nothing is explained - like why or how the character was bullied. The content is thin as it basically follows the same pattern of insult - kill each time.    5. Shinobi no Hana ~Kunoichi Shimai no Chousen~ 忍ノ華 ～くノ一姉妹の挑戦～ [000519] Aqua House

    Main character is an unsuccessful detective who struggles to catch a gangster girl.
    One evening he hears a rumor that the legendary thief is going to rob the art museum at night. When he arrives at the destination he finds there the Kaito group of female ninja who accumulate wealth to revive the ninjutsu art. The mystery gradually deepens. And another bakage. There is also dungeon crawl and combat. Full-voice. Despite the relatively big number of girls, there is only one happy ending with the main heroine. Last boss is undefeatable without applying the patch. The content lacks the impact compared to other notable bakage of the same time.   6. Shoujo Circus 少女サーカス [000519] Evolution

    Main character lived with his mother who just died. At her funeral he gets a letter from his disappeared father inviting to join a small circus team. Hero joins the team and admires the cute girls there. However, a few days later father collapses from overwork and hero has to run the circus till his father recovers. Can he manage this difficult task? Since cover and synopsis are neutral enough, let's talk about the content. It's a SIM - you need to earn as much money as possible, and quite ero-tilt with nasty pictured H events.    7. Start [000519] Bell-Da

    Daydreaming about his childhood girl at work gets a frypan on his head from the same girl. Thus starts this girl chase game. He can go after 5 girls, while bringing up stats that the girls like. Most girls know/love him from before, he just have to get close to them to find out. Hope he can start a new life with the girl he loves. Ugh, Bell-Da is known for a long history of producing ero-centered works and this one is not really an exception. At least there is a rasing SIM part here.    8. Seikai no Monshou 星界の紋章 [000525] Bandai Namco Entertainment 1

    Linn Jinto's life changes forever when the Humankind Empire Abh takes over his home planet of Martine without firing a single shot. He is soon sent off to study the Abh language and culture and to prepare himself for his future as a nobleman — a future he never dreamed of. Or wanted.
    Now, Jinto is entering the next phase of his training, and he is about to meet his first Abh, the lovely Lafiel. But Jinto is about to learn that she is more than she appears to be. And together they will have to fight for their very lives. Anime was popular enough, but releasing the game on PS as a space strategy was doubtful at the least. 67 different space battles! There are two main routes and three endings overall.   9. St. Luminous Jogakuin 聖ルミナス女学院 [000525] Xing Entertainment 1

    A dating sim adaptation of the 1998 original anime by Genco.
    When his grandfather dies, Kaihei inherits the post of chairman at an eccentric private girl's school which emphasizes the personal freedom of its students. But he arrives to find that one of the students has gone missing. As he investigates Melina's disappearance more students vanish, strange events occur and his position is placed under increasing pressure from teachers and parents. Hero puts lots of hidden cameras and cross-dresses to find out the source of girls disappearances, but it's a ps1 game, so it's gonna be clean. Conversation card system is introduced with only three cards possible to be used per encounter. We also manage money since we're given a budged of 30 million yen and we're constantly pestered to spend money on various projects. It looks like the game is built on anime success alone.   10. Avaron [000526] Zone 1

    The hero's name is Adalk. One day, his mother dies, telling him that he had been adopted - he was found as a little baby in the town's streets, with a strange symbol engraved on his clothes. Adalk is determined to find out the truth about himself. But first of all he needs some money, so he begins to work as a mercenary, receiving quests from town inhabitants. Before long he hooks up with some pretty girls, each with her own agenda, who will accompany him on his travels.
    Avaron is a re-vamped version of Youjo Ranbu 2. It has the same graphics, music, and gameplay system. The story was somewhat altered and expanded; the characters join your party more easily and give more information about themselves. Compared to "Youjo Ranbu 2", "Avaron" has more dialogues, but no voice acting. Cut scenes were re-done, with more full-screen pictures. During battles, party members' attacks are now displayed as anime-style pictures of the characters performing the attack, instead of the simple graphical effects of "Youjo Ranbu 2". There's nothing really to talk about since it's mostly graphical renewal.   11. Cartagran -Shoujo Shuryouki- CARTAGRAN －少女狩猟機－ [000526] Soleil

    Hundreds of years have passed since humankind was destroyed by "Aka" beasts that appeared out of nowhere
    Dr. Georg and his assistant Alicia are living alone and conducting research of producing "new human beings" that would be able to  eradicate the monsters.
    But shortly before the prototype "Mizuki" is completed, the lab is attacked by a powerful armed group. Mizuki is going on a journey  in search of a powerful monster to extract the necessary organ to save his creators and future humankind... Game is low-cost and pretty mysterious. There aren't any normal reviews around and comments only say it's unsatisfactory. We play as Mizuki. There are five episodes and multiple endings. There are fights in first person dungeon crawl way. There is HP pool and commands that need to be chosen within time limit. Scenario is quite awful and unenjoyable. Systems are very bad. There are quite many insult elements throughout the game. Still the character design and cool protagonist make me curious...   12. Hello Again [000526] Active

    Togo Heiji is a problem kid who is suddenly transferred to a special school where children with superpowers are brought up. What will be his school life like there? Genre is moege. Game takes 3 weeks and about 3 hours to beat for the first time while consequent playthroughs only take one hour. It's mostly a comedy work and text is ok. There are 6 heroines and 6 endings. Second half of the game has more serious approach and some drama development. Heroines are likable and CG are good, though rather few.   13. Kitamakura Hakase no Yuuutsu 北麻鞍博士の憂鬱 [000526] Project-μ

    At the end of the 20th century humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis, however most of people are unaware of it. Main character Dr. Kurashira has a genius mind, but he is treated as mad scientist, because he knows the truth of the world... He tracks down school girls who possesses excellent genes in order to pass them to the future generation. But will girls cooperate? As you could have guessed, it's stalking and insulting girls for the sake of humankind. Overall length for all scenarios is just around four hours. There are five characters for H events - an android assistant, three girls and a boy. But it' s a gag comedy and there are a lot of ironical descriptions scattered around. So nice debut work overall, will look forward to their following releases.   14. Natural 2 -DUO- Natural2 -DUO- [000526] Fairytale 1

    Twin sisters, Chisato and Kuu, lost their parents, and they were adopted by an old man. Then they met Shoma. Shoma was living with his grandfather because his parents were going to get divorced. Chisato was a tomboy, while Kuu was a crybaby. They both liked Shoma.
    10 years have passed since then. Shoma gave up his dream to become a violinist and worked as an editor of a music magazine office. To hear the grandfather’s death, he went to the house and he had a reunion with the two girls who had become beautiful women...
    It's a galge without story. Text is surprisingly good and there is no inconvenience while reading. There are raising SIM elements incorporated. There's both pure love route and devil route for heroines. Pure love part feels a bit short overall. Devil part results in turning the partner into a slave and there is no happy ending after that (which is good imho). Overall feeling that it's an ero-centered work, but not necessarily a nukige.   15. Purepure ピュアピュア [000526] Ange

    On the moonless night the hero stumbles upon a strange girl. She speaks of herself as master of ceremonies that was kicked out due to being useless. She ends up living with the hero. What's there behind her past? Work is mainly a comedy with some serious resolution in the second half. There is no voicing. Quality of the game is quite low.   16. S.N.O.W [000526] Xuse

    The hero is a producer. His close friend dies and hero decides to take over his project and promote new idol band "SNOW". However, members of this band are all problem children. Will the project be a success? General route dill band disband takes 5 hours and individual routes afterwards only 30 minutes each. There is a training SIM part in the common route. The final concert before breaking up is well done. There is a happy ending for each heroine, but there are bad endings as well. Game is full-voiced except for protagonist. H element is weak, just one scene for each. Pink hair girl calls the hero onii-chan and turns out to be his real sister eventually.   17. Soyokaze no Uta ~Breeze Passed Us By~ 微風の詩 ～Breeze passed us by～ [000526] Tomato

    Hero is on the last summer vacation in his school life and he still does not have a girlfriend. Pull yourself together, gather savings, learn girls tastes and forward you go!
    It's all in the synopsis. It's a common SIM. There is just one savepoint. It's not clear at what time girls get to which location so lots of research needed. Money is scarce and travelling around the town costs money so it's easy to find yourself unable to return home. It's realistic, but too troublesome. It becomes monotonous fast. I thought those kinds of games were left in the 1990s.   18. Last Scene ~Boku ga Kimi ni Dekiru Koto~ Last Scene ～僕が君にできること～ [000529] Maika

    Our guy became a doctor in order to try to find a cure for his girlfriend's disease. Now that he is a doctor, he found out that she only has seven days to live. Will he try to find a cure with some nurses' help, spend time with her at a seaside hotel, or resort to drastic measures? Lots of animation is promised but animated sequences are few. There is just one save which is inconvenient for multiple endings and there are some 24 endings. There are endings for each taste and at least 7 of them are good. Overall impression is ok, but there are quite many dark routes.   BLOCKED   1. Gansha de Go! 顔射でGO!

Nukige   2. Pin-Up ピンナップ [000512] Hyperspace Three girls live in a house with the main character. They were captured separately, but remain in the house by their own will.

Half a year later he is called by his professor and urged to draw a painting for the art exhibition a month later. To do that hero needs to relax and follow his desires.

The mansion owner is a powerful figure with connections in both financial and political circles. There is a ritual of adulthood held in the mansion after which person becomes a mindless doll. The same fate seems to have befallen upon Makoto brother. Maria is going to have her adulthood ceremony soon, and all the mysteries should uncover at that time... 
    The story is available first only from Maria point of view, and them from Makoto point of view as well. Nukige   9. Scandal スキャンダル [000526] Kurumi A wealthy mansion owner dies one day. Police sees it as an accident, but insurance company demands an additional thorough investigation.

  18. kivandopulus
    The main shock this month that the number of blocked games surpassed the number of passed games for the first time and instantly by 50%. The only masterpiece of the month is Nijuuei . I also made 1/4 playthrough of Parallel Harmony ... but it was absolutely senseless to go on.
    1. Twins Rhapsody ~Kaedama Ren'ai Kyousoukyoku~ ツインズラプソディ ～替玉恋愛狂想曲～ [001102] Discovery

    One morning main character can't find his school uniform upon waking up, but instead there's his twin sister's uniform. He decides to go to his sister's girls school and aim for pretty girls there. This is the day when siblings start to attend exchanged schools. Trap bakage have become very common nowadays, but this is one of the pioneers. It sets up a bright comedy where even love interests of the main heroes and heroines intersect to add even more chaos. The tempo is good, but there's also a lot of repetition. Slutty comedy and les scenes are the main attractions here.  
    2. Wasurekaketa Kokoro no Kakera 忘れかけた心の欠片 [001110] Lune

    Main character has his body exchanged with his sister-in-law as a result of a traffic accident. Now he understands that he has been missing something in his heart - there are paths to different emotions to regain. It's an ADV with choices, but there is also parameter of favorability of the girl on the screen which can also be checked through the menu. There is also chart of the scenario, so it's easy to understand branching. There aren't any reviews, so can't evaluate end content.    
    3. Yuki Hotaru ~Nidome no Hatsukoi~ 雪ほたる～二度目の初恋～ [001110] Factor

    Yosuke does not have a girlfriend in his twenties because of mistakes of the past. One day he learns about death of the girl he loved at school. Upon returning to hometown a strange phenomenon happens - he becomes able to move to past and correct his mistakes one by one. Some wicked obscure kusoge.  
    4. 14 one & four 14 one&four（ワン&フォー） [001112] Studio Trips

    One day main character wakes up with a stone in his hand. As he learns later, he died several days ago and now exists as a spirit that is bound to disappear 49 days after his death. He needs to get behind the mystery of his death and recover lost memories of four girls. Game can not be completed since one of the four items is impossible to acquire even with the patch. Developer disbanded before could fix that.  
    5. Hand Maid はんど☆メイド [001117] Air Plants

    Main character is an alchemist who needs to combine countless parts to create a maid type automatic doll. Afterwards the automata must practice, raise exp and earn money to become the best automata among the rival alchemists. We also need to find new parts and cards to constantly upgrade the maid android... not my thing at all.  
    6. Men at Work! 2 ~Hunter Academy e Youkoso~ メンアットワーク！２～ハンターアカデミーへようこそ～ [001117] Studio e.go! 1 2

    A Hunter Academy was established to teach Monster Hunters. Cliff came to the academy to become a Hunter,
    but the place turns out to be an old building unlike its name suggests,
    and the great Hunter couple who was supposed to teach him leaves the Academy to go solve an incident in another town.
    The Hunter candidates are all girls except for Cliff.
    And after many turns of events, Cliff is placed in charge of the Academy and gets to stay with all the girls... Game is localized and has some information in English. The full picture is only revealed with each heroine capture. Ideally it's possible to do with just two walkthroughs.  
    7. Oratorio ~Yakusoku~ Oratorio ～約束～ [001117] Pumpkin Bear

    September before the cultural festival. Protagonist becomes responsible for his class preparation. There is a good number of pretty girls in the committee as well. Will he create nice memories with girls till the day of the festival on September 23rd? Quite a typical charage. Girls are cute, but CG are often rough. There are only some 20 days given, so game length is short. Only one H event per heroine.  
    8. Wasurenagusa 忘れな草 [001117] Project-μ 1

    After graduating from college, our hero in unable to obtain full-time employment and ends up working part-time. Sora receives an invitation from his high school alumni association. He was born and raised in a small village in the mountains, where the he population is now rapidly dwindling. His school has already closed down and the village itself has merged with the next village. According to the letter, the village will be stripped and completely rebuilt. The school will be demolished as well. The letter also says that a class reunion will be held at the school before it's torn down. The invitation hasn't been signed and there is no forwarding address. He has no idea who sent it, and the vagueness of the letter makes him a little wary. However, he decides to attend the reunion to see his old friends and visit his old village. Game boasts to be originator of new genre - visual novel theater, but all I found is weird angles on character sprites and a strange manner of text to appear. The capture order is fixed and new stories and mysteries show up only after previous ones cleared. The theme is depression and craziness.  
    9. Tobira no Mukou wa 扉のむこうは [001120] Dollhouse

    Main character is an ordinary boy who attends a vocational school. He is in relations with Saito Ume for a month already. Once she picks up some shiny seven colored crystal in the shape of a crescent, and more of such objects show up around the village. His classmates start to turn to strange nuns and mysterious gentlemen. With the help of the object protagonists successfully conquers several more girls, but situation develops in an unexpected direction. The infamous kusoge maker Pumpie is back, now under cover of poor Dollhouse struggling in the industry since 1995. Game is pretty much a nukige since it starts with a H scene, and there are numerous H scenes afterwards. But with such crazy synopsis, I thought I'd need to dig further. Game has an old-school feeling. We run around the fillage in search for such talismans which are usually in places that are difficult to get to, like on a tree (and it's possible to get it with a fishing rod!). After finding a talismal, we need to place it to the hand of a girl, and if it's a right girl H scene ensues. But the place of power in the village is the local church that radiates evil. If we just come inside, there's a very crazy bad ending, so for a good ending we must gather all the talismans and unlock the seal with their help. Wow, it's a kusoge among kusoge.  
    10. Arcana ~Hikari to Yami no Ecstasys~ アルカナ～光と闇のエクスタシス～ [001123] Ciel

    A young vagabond with a mysterious past named Caprese, down on his luck, meets an old man who tells him of Icons, the essence of a person's spirit and determiner of their destiny. Remarkably, Caprese has no Icon of his own, having instead the ability to copy the Icon of those he meets. With the fairy Primo at his side he goes on a journey, using his power to try to obtain the Four Great Icons, as the one who possesses them may become Lord of the World, and Caprese finds himself at the centre of the eternal war between the powers of Light and Darkness. Game has a good middle ages fantasy atmosphere. There's also a cute fey character who is fun to talk to and who meddles in all hero's love affairs. The flow of the game is very simple - we stumble upon a girl in a difficult situation - win in the mini-game - H with girl - repeat. I got stuck on some 4th mini-game, but can say with authority that Tony's art is the best attraction in the game.  
    11. Yamato Nadeshiko o Sagase! 大和撫子を探せ！ [001123] Chiffon

    Main character is a university assistant immersed in Yamato Nadeshiko research. His former professor invents a time machine, and protagonist goes to the past to make Yamato Nadeshiko his girlfriend. The setting and atmosphere are unexpectedly pleasant, but game is full of bugs. First we conquer heroine through the series of events, next we bring her to present time. Yamato Nadeshiko is not a proper name, but just an ideal of traditional Japanese woman, so there are more than one heroine. Simultaneous capture is difficult, but there are events that can happen only if two heroines are targeted.  
    12. Canvas ~Sepia-iro no Motif~ Canvas ～セピア色のモチーフ～ [001124] 1 2 3

    Asou Daisuke is a high school student and a gifted artist - but he is currently suffering from a block, which keeps him from painting. His childhood friend, Tachibana Amane, who loves him deeply, persuades him to do a portrait of Kimikage Yurina, a girl with a heart condition, before Yurina undergoes surgery. In the process of rediscovering his art, Daisuke also realises the love that he and Amane feel for each other. There is an English review.  
    13. Kaede Doori かえで通り [001124] Inspire

    Main character studies at a university and works at a part-time job. It is possible to seek love from heroines of "Days Innocent" who have grown up, or from new girls.   Structure-wise it's a normal plot-less game with each day divided into four parts to chase for girls. There are days only for university or only for part-time jobs, but there are also events limited to only university or only part-time job. But the word is drawn very attentively. The text and descriptions are superb among the games of 2000, but that's all wasted without a normal story. So it's a game with good atmosphere, text and characters, but that's it.  
    14. Liebe ~Omoide no Okurimono~ リーベ ～想い出の贈り物～ [001124] Custom Software

    Main character has girls phobia because of traumatic past with his former girlfriend. One day he is caught in thoughts and gets to a traffic incident. When he wakes up, there's a girl Aya before him who claims that his life expectancy is just one week. In order to change his fate he must overcome his phobia of women and have a love affair... Quite a typical charage. It's possible to chase either Aya or any other girl. Each route is short since it must be done in just a week. Drawing is very amateurish.  
    15. Luna Season ~150 Bun no 1 no Koibito~ るな・シーズン～150分の1の恋人～ [001124] Emu

    Main character is a high school student who has bad luck with women, being turned down by 149 girls in three years. The relationship with the 150th girl finally lasts a whole month. On a helpless impulse he rapes her, and relations are on their way to disconnection. Is protagonist doomed?
    It's a miracle that in the hero's town there are still girls unaware of him and available for capture after 150 girls failure. Five heroines have individual problems that require tending. Story is poorly organized and only rare laugh reliefs help a bit.  
    16. One's First Love [001124] Team Plus One

    Main character is a salary-man who lives alone. One day he goes for work later than usual and bumps into a high school girl who vomits on him. Such unique encounters happen to him occasionally. Maybe such encounter is the way to his first love?  Sneeze, sweat etc are in the center of other stories. There's a definite H tilt as well, but game is obscure.  
    17. Parallel Harmony ~Getsuyou no Tobira wa Suiyou no Mukou ni~ Parallel Harmony ～月曜の扉は水曜の向こうに～ [001124] C's Ware

    Main character opens some strange door and appears at a girls school similar to Meiji era. The inhabitants are living spirits of fox and cats. Every time he tries to confess, his juniors get in the way. Will he ever be able to convey his feelings freely? It's C's Ware. The rest is in the full review... or so I thought till reached 1/4 of the game. Those three hours were a pure torture for me. There is absolutely no aim in the game since the way back to the home world gets cut off right in the beginning and there's no attempts to somehow make it open. The rest is absurdist theater in 12 parts. Each part has some short unique ending like this chapher is fighting one, the next one is playing detectives searching for a can, next one is detecrive in the horror house, but the bulk of each chapter are some random talks about nothing, so dull "jokes" made on grimacing and voice play. I really tried to find a notable joke and could only mark one as an attempt - the only about school club introduced by three rules of the Fight Club movie (and yeah, I'm probably very old since I remember premiere of that movie). The H scenes are just random, at the end of each chapter some girl just passes by and that's it, H scene. So now I know for sure that humor is not C's Ware strong point.   
    18. Primary Colours [001124] Extreme
    By the sudden invasion of the Ishikari Empire, all the neighboring countries were destroyed. A year after that the people in the colonized countries were oppressed and put to forced labor. Cardinal Sepia Arush, the captain of the former secretary of the state, organized anti-empire resistant movement. The organization got name Sepia, and it consists only of women mages who dance at the battlefields to return the lost homeland. It's a tactical strategy with the ability to capture any heroines of your mage squad. Battles have a fine mechanic, but are repetitive. Story lacks impact and heroines are surprisingly dull.  
    19. Love Hina ~Ai wa Kotoba no Naka ni~ ラブひな～愛は言葉の中に～ [001128] Konami 1 2 3

    This adventure game's main focus is on collecting words for one of the five heroines from the series. You are Keitarou Urashima, the protagonist from the series, living together in a huge mansion with Naru Narusegawa, Shinobu Maehara, Kaolla Su, Motoko Aoyama, and Mitsune Konno. You can go to any one of their rooms and check the words you have unlocked for each of the characters, and by combining them start the event scenes which are similar to a visual novel in style with full voice-acting, for player character included. There is some information in English, and I would not add anything useful in this case anyway.  
    20. Hana Goyomi 花暦 [001130] Cyc

    When a child the protagonist used to play with someone at the flower garden of his grandfather, until the day his family moved to the city. Many years later, the protagonist went to visit his grandfather who felt ill at the hospital. He asks him to take care and rebuild his flower garden, because he can't take care of it anymore.
    When the protagonist went to visit the flower garden after a long time, he is stunned to see a desolated garden. 
    And he becomes even more surprised to see in that strange place lives some flower fairies who needs that garden beautiful again in order to become healthy again... This is SIM, but it's more of a garden SIM akin to Little Witch Parfait series than a real raising SIM. It may look complicated, but compared to all age garden simulators, content is very shallow. The adult scenes are two per heroine and hardly bring anything with them. There are three heroines, plus some sub-heroines.  
    21. Love Hina 2 ~Kotoba wa Konayuki no You ni~ ラブひな２～言葉は粉雪のように～ [001130] Konami 1 2

    The game's main focus is on collecting words for one of the five heroines from the series. You are Keitarou Urashima, the protagonist from the series, living together in a huge mansion with Naru Narusegawa, Shinobu Maehara, Kaolla Su, Motoko Aoyama, and Mitsune Konno. You can go to any one of their rooms and check the words you have unlocked for each of the characters, and by combining them start the event scenes which are similar to a visual novel in style with full voice-acting, for player character included. This game also requires PocketStation without which you cannot gather words necessary to play the game. There is a normal English review this time.  
    22. Ma・Ho・Ro・Ba ま・ほ・ろ・ば [001130] Soup

    Main character is going to inherit a big trade business. His trial is to double 10 million yen in 13 months. Is it even possible to do with a shop, 10 million yen and while leading the same gigolo style life? Some obscure trade SIM with adult scenes.  
    23. Nijuuei 二重影 [001130] KeroQ 1 2 3

    This game that takes place in Japan in the year 1640. The main character is a samurai that got a sword with a blade with two shadows (one with a human shadow and another one from the world of darkness) that connect with him with the world of darkness.  The game begins when the samurai travels to a strange island in which all the children are born twins, he hopes that in that island he can find a cure to his own curse. The adventure starts there, can he come back alive from the island and without his cure?  Wow, I'm reviewing this game for sure even though there are couple reviews already.  
    24. Return リターン [001130] Aquarium

    Main character is an ordinary graduate student. One day is called by a professor to test space transfer invention. As a result, protagonist is teleported to another world where he has to earn living as escort hunter while having to deal with a lot of girls. Drawing and character design are very poor. Length is short and number of choices is small (and they are mostly meaningless). Story moves somehow pretty much without player interference, and ending with each heroine is the same. So there's hardly any appeal in the game.

He spends his days relaxing, regularly attending school and also enjoying time and talking about urban legends and rumors at the school's occult group. Among the club members are the shy underclassman Sayuki, the serious classmate Shizuka, the beautiful temporary teacher Shinamo, and the club president Shintarou.
    One day, Kazuto wakes up after seeing a strange dream - and his life changes completely, his world flips around when he meets the strange girl called Miaka, who just keeps giggling without a worry in the world. He started hearing and seeing things others couldn't, and what these phenomenona pointed to was the urban legend of his school.
    "The girl of the sunset."
    The old story and the curse of the girl who jumped off of the rooftop and entered the "other side". And so Kazuto gets sent to an unknown, another world.
    "You're coming with me, you're coming with me, you're coming with me--" the "girl of the sunset" chants. His every day life changes completely, and turns into a horrible and miserable nightmare. The sound of the ringing bell. What will become of Kazuto as he and the people around him slowly become eroded by fear?
    Can Kazuto find a way to break free from the curse's chains? Can he find the true meaning behind "the girl of the sunset?" And what exactly is the "final day?"

    Rating comments: It was an exhausting journey for me. I was expecting something very different. What I got hit the worst spots for me.

    Protagonist: No presence felt. All meaningful actions chosen by reader.
    Characters: That's the most difficult question for me. I chose serious childhood friend / shrine maiden Shizuka and main heroine mysterious girl Miaka. The other two are much worse - totally shy Sayuki and clumsy teacher Shinano. Shizuka was a least partly enjoyable with her constant half-closed eyes look as if awaiting some pervert action. She kinda fulfills the role of childhood friend, so she dominates the stage. Another good thing about her is her family, notably father who presents the only attempt in the game to cheer things up a bit. Miaka just shows up occasionally and says strange things. No one knows which class she is from, and protagonist each time forgets to ask her about it. She remains black box right through the end, and that's not what main heroine should be like.

    Story: The good thing about the story is that it's compact and takes place only at school. Pretty much everything else is bad. Members of the occult study club are in the center of attention. No one does anything in this club - reading books at best. But after protagonist starts to see strange dreams about sunset girl, it becomes a hot topic for discussion. But again - everyone in this game is incompetent. Miaka keeps talking about her lost diary, and club's greatest accomplishment is finding this diary. And of course this diary brings us to the end of Miaka route. Other girls stories are just about girls themselves. Now for the darker side of the game. Protagonist sees delusions about each girl in their routes. Apart of that each girl has a dark experience that becomes the center of each route. Rape, chains... all that stuff. And it produces only negative emotions. Game is closer to utsuge than to nakige, really.

    Thoughts:
    1) Game is pretty dark on its own, but just as two previous BaseSon works, there is NO humor in here, like at all. The mood is dense with all the seriousness, but then it turns into negative with approaching the girls stories.
    2) At least a third of the game happens during sunset. All the crimson palette and all the delusions in form of dreams really reminded me Sayonara o Oshiete. The whole concept really looks similar, but with some normal school SOL part this time and without a touch of madness. But I really disliked Sayoshi, so it might affect my evaluation of Yuuhi no Mukougawa with a similar concept. Also some parallels can be done with Ashita Deatta Shoujo, but without the genius concept.

    Overall comments: What we get in the result is a depressing game with no really likable heroines. Games is of really high quality, but it turns into a short-minded disaster. I can't stand occult theme, so it was a torture to read about it. What I see from first three BaseSon games is that it can make visual novels of high quality with great visuals, but it absolutely sucks at original stories. It's a great boon for them to have found the Koihime niche. If they continued as they started, they would have been bankrupt by now.

    Foreword: Every time I start a slice of life charage I really want to like it. But too many companies follow the same trends and present the same product. For praising reviews please refer elsewhere 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.

    Synopsis: Tsukasa starts to work at a girl's high school after graduating from university. But the school is located at the edge of peninsula, no house around. On his first day of work, he gets out of a bus and walks to the school. And he is surprised to see the school building, a huge western building. Soon after he knows several facts, that this is a branch school, and students are isolated from society for personal reasons. He doesn't know them but it's too late. His life as a teacher starts...

    There are so many English reviews that I don't need to elaborate on details. My personal impression is pretty bad, far below masterpiece level. So I'll just ramble about things that worry me here.

    The biggest mystery for me is some super-positive reviews and great overall score on VNDB and EGS. EGS gives overwhelming median value of 85. The majority of votes on VNDB are for the 9 score followed by 8 with a narrow margin. But let's look at actual reviewers scores from reddit. Out of four reviews there three readers give 7.5 score and one gives 7/10. There are also very critical reviews like these ones (1 2) What's going on here? 
    The answer is hype. This game won the 2007 Bishoujo Game Award as the best pure-love genre game among the voters. But Japanese readers read the game in original and understand all the details, so they can't be wrong, ne? But reality is very different. I noticed it on multiple occasions in the past that Japanese readers don't understand shit. They constantly obstruct plotge and adore moege. They are the real destructive force that turned industry in a moege fest. And I see three reasons why this particular title has such good votes from Japanese readers. They are...

    Lolicon, teacher taboo, sex tilt. Basically, a seemingly traditional pure love game becomes a cradle for multiple fetishes that suit nukige much more than a normal bishoujo game. Seriously, do you remember any other bishoujo game before 2006 with teacher at all girls school as a protagonist? Any sexual relations with students are immoral, but here all the heroines are students and all are active participants in sexual relations. Some heroines might look more or less mature, but some like Misaki are absolutely childish. And by some twist exactly our lively prankster Misaki is a sex-addict in a very late stages. Her route has like six H events or so (I did not bother counting), but here is where our final trait starts to shine. H events in this game are colossal by length. Last time I remember something like that was Tsuyokiss. And by a sudden twist of fate it's yet another title super-popular in the East and moderately unpopular in the West. In both these games H scenes don't exist as isolated skippable pieces at the end of the individual routes. Instead, they start at the beginning of individual routes and take the majority of the route time only occasionally being interrupted by conventional life events. Moreover, these scenes are interrupted by dialogues and then continued again very often. So H events pierce the whole reality, they become the reality substituting any school life. School starts to be treated as just another place to have sex among many others. It's tiresome to edit such routes because every time H event seemingly ends, it may either continue after couple minutes talk or new event starts in couple minutes. So there is always a dilemma to cut this whole mega H event taking majority of the route or cut actual action with leaving midterm dialogues - and in this case there would be too many cuts with too many skip scene notice displayed. 

    But there can't be everything wrong with this game. What's good about it? Actually, there are two games in one here. I don't care which of two writers wrote which routes, but it's evident that one writer wrote Miyabi, Tonoko and Shino routes while the second one those horrible sex-tilt routes of Misaki, Sumika and Yuuna (Yuuna route to the lesser degree as there only some three H events). First three routes are traditional ones - short, relatively fun and with just one short H scene in the end. And exactly these routes are usually positively assessed, especially Tonoko and Miyabi ones. I played Miyabi route as first one, and it was of masterpiece level due to two reasons - natural continuation of common route, plus tsundere personality. Common route is the most important and often most entertaining part of any game. And in Haruka ni Aogi common route is all about chibi principal Miyabi. Most of jokes are based on her tsundere behavior. So her individual route is almost same funny and pleasant. Tonoko is kind of main heroine for those who can't stand tsundere and like serious girls with good personal stories. 

    So this game is very controversial. It tackles dubious theme of love between teacher and students very differently in first three routes and last three routes. And while first three routes make up for a touching school love story, second half of routes should just burn in hell, seriously. And another proof of that is the stalled translation project. Three normal routes are translated in a flash, and last three are so weak and H tilt that they made translation stall indefinitely. I'd really hope to see partial patch with only normal three routes in it. Misaki, Sumika and Yuuna routes should never have been a part of this overall not bad game.

    July 1992 has some fierce competition. I consider all of Armist , Phobos , Shinjuku Monogatari and Can Can Bunny Premiere as masterpieces. But since I rate serious SF stories above the others,  Phobos is VN of July 1992.
    1. Armist Armist [920703] Basement 1 2 You're the head of detective agency Armist and among your assistats are two deminoids or in other words androids with animal features. And a huge deminoid producing company requested to investigate a mass murder on its grounds. There are several survivors after the incident, so we start questioning them. One by one enemy demigods show up and eventually their leader as well. So the volume is not really big.But game is obnoxiously beautiful. There is a large number of awesome CG. There is almost no H-scenes, but fancy outfits make up for it. What makes this game awesome is that the communication choices that have been used up disappear so excessive repetition is avoided. So it's a great light fun short game to enjoy.  
    2. Image イマージュ [920710] Software House Parsley 1 Image consists of three short episodes; each episode, in its turn, contains two different scenarios. The two scenarios within each episode are similar to each other, featuring the same main female character, and sharing many of the scenes (mostly of sexual nature); however, the identity of the protagonist, the circumstances leading to the development of the story, the dialogue, and the commands required to choose in order to complete the scenario are different. All the three episodes are rather minimalistic, featuring only the protagonist and the female character; the object is always to have sex with the latter. The first episode introduces a girl from the tennis club, the protagonist being either an older boy or a younger classmate. The second revolves around a female high school student who stays in the school after classes; the protagonist can be a male classmate or a male teacher. Finally, the third episode is dedicated to the lovely school nurse, with the protagonist taking two alternate routes to win her graces. An ugly narrow-minded game. Wrong choice leads to game over.  
    3. Yumeji - Asakusa-Kitan 夢二 浅草綺譚 [920710] Fairytale The hero is a painter who got famous for a painting of a girl. But five years later he lost his wife and his paintings lost its colors, yet he remains well known. One day he had a dream that another man was selling his counterfeit paintings, but could not grasp the essence of a woman. And to get to the essence of a woman they went to a strip show. Again FairyTale and again quite an experimental work. Picture is again in sepia tone. Setting is Taisho democracy era which is rather unusual. Unlike Shinjuku Monogatari there are a lot of still standing CG and models here. It's more like a literature work, but with a rather weak ending. And due to the Saori incident just several months before the game's release, most of the H scenes were self-corrected. So this work remains one of the experimental era weird works that nobody knows about, with a very good Taisho atmosphere, but unsatisfying ending.  
    4. Alice no Yakata 2 ALICEの館２ [920715] Alice Soft An Alice Soft fan-disc containing four short games and varied extra content, such as being able to listen to the complete soundtrack of all their previous games. The following games are part of this collection: 1. A mini-RPG set after the events of Rance 3. You take the control of Patton as he tries to beat an M Land attraction during Hunty's absence. 2. A short adventure game about a pair policewomen trying to solve the case of a serial rapist. 3. After the disappearance of Rance at the end of Rance 3, the princess of Leazas Lia takes her frustrations out on monsters she takes captive. You play as a valiant Okayu Fever as he assaults Leazas castle to save the captive monsters. The game inherits the Rance 3 battle system and is composed of a set of preset encounters. 4. A quiz game in which you get a naked CG or a short ero scene with an Alice Soft heroine after succesfully answering the questions. Includes heroines from the Rance series, Toushin Toshi and D.P.S. SG Set 2. I can't really stand fandisks.  
    5. Phobos フォボス [920716] Himeya Soft 1 2 Mars colonists broke out a war for independence. Mech and android war came to a truce, but Mars resources were too exhausted to continue course on independence. Half a year later military secrets documents were stolen from Mars and private investigator from the Earth Ryuuichi with his android assistant Leyla are tasked to recover them. Himeya Soft games hold special place since they were the first to start translating their games in English. The more intriguing are their untranslated early works.This is a cyberpunk work so the city a major role - high tech devastated by war, Chinese mafia, gambling and giant companies - they all make atmosphere feel serious and cool. On the other hand there is a vivid depiction of protagonist anxieties after surviving the war and loosing his wife there seeking for a substitute in an android. So the first half of the game definitely gives a masterpiece impression, but after that a much more hasty direction is seen. The incident gets settled but the heart wounds of the hero remain and what persists is the feeling of lingering sadness. Both scenarios of Bacta and Phobos were written by Mr.Abe and they share such features as charismatic hero and grappling atmosphere. But while Bacta was more of a horizontal axis work with much fun scattered around and many unexpected events, Phobos is rather a vertical axis game with impact on logical unwinding story line. And it was very rare for that time to put so much emphasis on scenario alone. For that Phobos should be given credit as a hidden gem of pc-98 era.  
    6. Shinjuku Monogatari 新宿物語 [920723] Fairytale 1 Hero inherited an antique shop after her father who had disappeared. She has good intentions, but gets into various problems and does not even neglect transportation of white powder as luggage. And eventually she becomes a target of a professional killer. This work has exactly one suiting word - "experimental". After Saori incident Fairy Tale explored many directions, but this one is probably the boldest. First, graphics is made in sepia color. Second, this is an all-age story. Third, character design is prepared by manga writer and it totally differs from anything presented in VN games before. Fourth, almost all images imitate a cinema and there aren't still images - every CG shows the motion. Fifth, a rare girl perspective. There were several popular youth novels in 1980s and this work definitely has that spirit inside. Running away from the house, meeting new people, travelling around the country - that kind of spirit. And this game has a huge number of charming characters. Game has a very fresh look and great spirit. It is one of the best games of 1992 and is unduly forgotten.  
    7. Can Can Bunny Premiere きゃんきゃんバニー プルミエール [920730] Cocktail Soft 1 2 Lonely man returns home after work only to find seven Gods of Luck sitting in his room. Goddess Swatty explains that she's going to use the power of seven Gods of Luck to help hero find a girlfriend. There is an English review, but it's written by a person without knowledge of Japanese. So first three works in the series had nothing common with a VN. And it's the first work to introduce well-known in pc-98 era Swatty goddess. Basically, this is a Nampa game. Compared to earlier strategy Can Can Bunny games the degree of difficulty has fallen considerably. So it's a nice game with good characters and talks and no H material. The only problem that year 1992 is the year of Classmate game made by Elf and that game marked a totally new era for VNs dividing the games on before Classmate and after Classmate.  
    8. Kikou Soushin Val-Kaizer 機甲装神ヴァルカイザー [920731] Silence In 21st century humanity started other planets colonization. Along with "bioloader" research to create a strengthened outer protective skin was underway. The lead researcher was afraid of military use of bioloader and set an explosion in the laboratory. His sister was found on the place of explosion miraculously saved. The company originated from MIN and had close ties with Sogna, so it's not a surprise that it's a graphics oriented story with frequent use of animation. This is a fast-paced action story about Luna, her kidnapped sister, military organization and small robot Val-Kaizer who has some connection with Luna. Game features pseudo-rpg exploration while escaping the facility, but overall is a very easy command selection type of game. Game does not have HCG, but at the end it features part 2 of the story with HCG, but part 2 never came out. The visuals and cute characters make this short game very entertaining.

    Foreword: Abyss is one of the more known doujin games and even has a fuwanovel recommendation page. But I could find only one English review, so it needs to be fixed asap. Synopsis: Sasayama Akira was born into a family of assassins and trained as a child to become one of them. However, due to psychological issues, his father decided to send Akira to a relative's house, to live a normal life. Several years later, Akira gets asked by the student council president to investigate a rumor of a group called Abyss, a shadowy group of students responsible for abducting and killing students in a grotesque game. Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv_JpraEZN60LRLufWm3loZt   Character Design rating: 7/10 Protagonist rating: 7/10 Story rating: 8/10 Game quality: 7/10 Overall rating: 7/10 I'm still not ready to evaluate a doujin game without voicing too high. And abyss is huge. It was actually delivered in three different issues before the complete version with first one seeing the light in September 2007. As a result, completing all the routes took 38 hours, and such volume without voicing can be difficult to digest. The concept is simple - murders start to happen at school, and protagonist is dragged by a masked person to join the game. Basically, it's common battle royale concept that is popular in doujin chunige. But the actual game is neither pure survival like Killer Queen nor the battle of wits and hints like Umineko. We strive to survive, but also gather hints about opponents identities as well as learn to counter them. Quite a few mysteries pile up, and final Nami routes gives a lot of answers about protagonist past and ABYSS. And it's also not a simple mortal combat style game, because assassin means are deadly and fast, but also because multiple viewpoints are given throughout the story. We even start as a girl protagonist in common route. There's a lot to uncover, so mystery persists till the end. As for deficiencies, I still don't like this concept just because it's battle royale. Participants are placed in a limited space so that they make the story themselves like a sandbox. A lot of stuff and twists are put on top of that to make forget about the core concept, but I still don't see an interesting story behind it all. Well, I did not like any game with similar concept, even FSN, so safely ignore this point. It's been a long time since I played a game with a zero voicing. It's a matter of habit, but everything gets a huge minus from me because of that. BGM is mostly good, but there are some with just a few sounds on repeat to create tension or smth, and I'd rather hear normal melodies. Game system is horrible for auto reading. I had to put lowest possible speed, but huge chunks of text disappeared too fast after small ones, and vice versa. CG are uneven. Basically, all heroines are strong, but in other people's routes they become weak. Another nitpick is that setting of ABYSS organization feared even by police is loosely shaped, lacks detail. Battles are depicted poorly and settled with one blow usually, but buildup and wits battle prior to that is nice. Some heroines routes bring little new and can be considered bonus ones. Enough with negative points. On a bright side, in every route characters are mercilessly butchered, and you never know who or when gets to die. So there's a lot of room for emotional approach. Every heroine has her own story and motivation, and with so many masks identities remain unknown. Hints recovered throughout the game create doubts, but final route managed to take me by surprise, anyway. The good thing is that only couple heroines have traditional love scenes, some have violation, and Nonko has none at all. As you see, despite simple concept there's a lot of room for mystery, wits, tactics, twists, emotions and in-depth character stories. Don't let my evaluation scare you as it includes personal reasons. If you find such game enticing, you most assuredly won't be disappointed.

    Foreword: I heard about this game couple years ago that it actually had a decent plot, and around the same time got acquainted with the anime version. It's been my longtime wish to show that nukige may have a decent story, but is this exactly that case?
    Title: Dorei Ichiba
    Developer: Daiginjou
    Date: 2000-12-22

    Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Wh8zelvX-I

    Synopsis: During the 17th century, the Ronbaldia Alliance and the Holy Aimar are at war for power. Ronbaldia sends its ruler to the royal city of Constantinople for safety. Cathias Gire follows as a clerk. Not knowing anything about the royal capitol, Cathias decides to buy a slave. Cathias heads for the slave-grounds and is shocked to see how they are treated. Nevertheless, he buys a slave recommended by his friend. Cathias can do what ever he wants to do with his salve now. Will this all end when the war finally gets out of control? What will happen?

    Structure: 3 days in each route
    Length: 3 hours for one route, overall 5 routes
    Game type: Middle ages vice city on the brink of war
    Difficulty: Low, the number of choices is small and wrong choices usually lead to a clear bad end
    Character Design rating: 5/10
    Protagonist rating: 5/10
    Story rating: 6/10
    Game quality: 5/10
    Overall rating: 5/10

    Rating comments: You can see by the scores that my opinion of the game is not high even though VNDB average score is over 8 atm. I failed to find something worthwhile in the story, and other elements are just bleak to me.
    Protagonist: Cathias is quite a normal embassy envoy, we control his actions fully.

    Characters: Bianca, Cecilia and Mia are the slaves available from the start, and your friend's sister Katerina afterwards. Remastered version also introduced Harem route which actually is the most interesting story-wise, not just fanservice. I only captured Katerina True route, because game moves from Bad ends to Good ends, and there's too much insult from the start. Also you'll need to grind ducats with a special fundraising route, since some good endings and Katerian true ending require large sums of ducats that transfer to each new game. For me the route of mute Bianca is the best, and exactly that route is shown in anime already. It was impossible for me to feel sympathy to any of the heroines.

    Story: Every route follows pretty much the same pattern - arrival on day 1 - city investigation on day 2 - some danger with a link to the target heroine in the day 3. Each route is short, so noone has time to develop, really.
    CG: I have huge questions to both character design and CG. The only CG I liked were fighting CG.

    Overall comments: I did not like the game overall, thus such inarticulate review. Unfortunately the stories are episodic, and only harem route features more than one heroine. Dorei Ichiba is not something that Venus Blood series could provide - a thrilling story + nukige.

    Soukou Akki Muramasa is VN of the month. Among other masterpieces is Steins;Gate and Coμ - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku. Of course I'm playing the Nitroplus one. Micchi considers this month to be the best in the year for bringing such sugary titles as Mashiroiro Symphony and My Girlfriend is the President.
    1. Sora o Tobu, 7tsu Me no Mahou. 空を飛ぶ、7つ目の魔法。 [091002] La'cryma Soramitsu's After Story. More MoeMoe, more ecchi, more slapstick, and new characters! I wonder why it's called a sequel rather than fandisc since it's definitely in the fandisc range.  
    2. Steins;Gate [091015] 5pb. Games 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 "The universe has a beginning, but it has no end. —Infinite. Stars, too, have their own beginnings, but are by their own power destroyed. —Finite. History teaches that those who hold wisdom are often the most foolish. The fish in the sea know not the land. If they too hold wisdom, they too will be destroyed. It is more ridiculous for man to exceed light speed than for fish to live ashore. This may also be called God's final warning to those who rebel." The story of Steins;Gate takes place in Akihabara, and is about a group of friends who have customized their microwave into a device that can send text messages to the past. As they perform different experiments, an organization named SERN who has been doing their own research on time travel tracks them down. The characters must now find a way to avoid being captured by them. Game is localized and has English reviews.  
    3. Coμ - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku -コミュ - 黒い竜と優しい王国 - [091022] Akatsuki Works 1 2 3 4 5 6 "We are a team. No, a community..." Legends tell of a mysterious woman known only as "Girl A", who makes herself known to special individuals in a certain city and sings all throughout the night. One such night, Akihito meets four strangers as if guided by her beautiful voice... There are no feelings of friendship nor any trust between the five individuals, yet they are able to control a huge monster -- a steel black dragon -- by combining their wills and cooperating with one another. Now, on the night they obtain this power, their extraordinary life begins... Akihito later learns that a terrible price comes with the use of this power: If the monster should be destroyed, their "community" shall disappear along with it... Five strangers brought together by destiny, they decide to enter the secret world of the "Coμnet" with the help of Kagome, a black witch... Game is localized and has English reviews.  
    4. Hachimitsu Otome Blossomdays ハチミツ乙女blossomdays [091023] Lupinus There is a beautiful town in the country. Kyosuke is back to his hometown for the first time in ten years and starts living with Mizuki and Yuki, his old friends. He lives a peaceful school life there surrounded by them and other classmates, Rin and Konami... Since I'm in love with you, I can't say "I love you"... The girls try to approach Kyosuke, but they can't make it... Well, what will happen to them in the end...? Moege with Konami route being decent and the rest pretty much trash due to subsidiary writers.  
    5. Love Delation! らぶでれーしょん！ [091023] Smee The protagonist arrives back to this hometown. His new school used to be a girls' school, so the ratio of male students to female students is 1 to 9. "Yes, it's a happy school life!!" On his first day at school, he happily opens a door of the classroom... But there are only male students... As a matter of fact, all male students are in the same class, and not a single girl there... But don't give up. Once he goes out of the classroom, there will be a paradise... "I'll live a happy school life!" Charage with eccentric comedy. Upon entering someone's route other heroines just disappear, and it's disappointing. Game's mostly about flirt, so as usual need to like girl's personality. Harem route is very weak.  
    6. Sekirei ~Mirai Kara no Okurimono~セキレイ ～未来からのおくりもの～ [091029] Alchemist The game takes place in the Sekirei timeline, being played as a visual novel. Minato and the Sekirei in Izumo Inn encounter new characters consisting of Sekirei No. 54, Kuruse, Sekirei No. 57, Yahan, Ashikabi Reiji Koya and a baby referred to as Aka-chan.

    8. Kiss to Maou to Darjeeling キスと魔王と紅茶 [091030] Marmalade 1  Similar to the 7 school mysteries, there is a legend that there exists a maou who will appear when the flowers change color. Keiichi is approached by the school council president Sarasa, who kisses him on the lips. She declares him to be the maou and will serve him. There is an English review.  
    9. Maikuro ~Ore ga Watashi de Boku ga Atashi de~ マイくろ～オレガワタシデボクガアタシデ～ [091030] Abelia The male protagonist, Kunieda Yuuma, lives a happy school life with his friends. One day, Yuuma says, "It would be fun if our bodies were suddenly swapped." Almost immediately, there is something wrong with their bodies.... Oh, their bodies are actually swapped! Who did it? What will happen to their school life...? Unlike most body swap titles this one tries to be serious and deals with delicate themes such as bullying, mental disorder and sexual problems. But emotional depiction is thin and perfection level is low, so it just does not nourish the mind for the most part.  
    10. Mashiro Iro Symphony ましろ色シンフォニー [091030] Palette 1 2 3 4 5 6 The Kagami Academy sent Uryuu Shingo and his sister Uryuu Sakuno as part of a planned merger with an all-girls school, Yuijo Academy. Shingo, Sakuno, his best friend Mukunashi Hayata, and more of his friends from the same school temporarily transfer to Yuijo until they officially consolidate. But on their first day at Yuijo, the principal's daughter, Sena Airi, announces that she will never agree to the merger. And the students are not hospitable to the male guests! Shingo, Hayata, and the others have to work hard... There are English reviews. Played it after reading 11/10 Joyjason review and hated it immensely because of high expectations.  
    11. Osananajimi wa Daitouryou: My Girlfriend is the President. 幼なじみは大統領 My girlfriend is the PRESIDENT. [091030] ALcot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 It started out as an ordinary morning, woken up by my childhood friend. Had a good breakfast… complete with morning hard-ons. An ordinary, everyday eroge scene. Or… so it seemed. Things would never be the same from that day, as peaceful everyday life was blown to bits. An accident on a spaceship heading to earth, causes it to crash into the office of the Prime Minister of Japan. The ministers end up in a state too horrible to look at. To avoid chaos, the alien choses a girl who happened to be there, and to make ends meet, brainwashed all of mankind. Nippon adopts a presidential system overnight, and incredibly, a girl, my childhood friend, is the president. The world will answer to her every whim. Game is localized and has English reviews.  
    12. Sakura Tale  さくらテイル [091030] Fizz Masamune has just started his school life, but he soon gets involved in a recruiting battle by sports clubs. What saves him is a girl in strange clothing. He is attracted to her, but he meets another girl who looks totally different a few days later. Light and darkness. He meets his childhood friend at the school dormitory, but she has completely changed. "Masamune. I'm glad I could save you." New season. New school. New friends. The story takes place at a school gently watched by a big cherry tree. A romantic comedy charage with futuristic detailed setting and only couple decent routes. We even participate in a small revolution here! Routes done by subsidiary writers feel rather plain.  
    13. Skyprythem [091030] Armonica Kazuki has just entered the school. After an entrance ceremony, his classroom teacher tells the class, "We are going to have the same wing." Same wing.... This means every classmate works together for the same goal. Yes, they are gonna compose a song which will be played at the school music festival. Each student has to find a partner and compose a song together. It is called the "Feather Partner". Though there are various girls at school, who will Kazuki choose as his partner? For a musical themed game it lacks actual songs. Scenes are short and constantly abrupted with consequent warping to next one since the period is half a year. Too many immature elements stocked up.  
    14. Soukou Akki Muramasa 装甲悪鬼村正 [091030] Nitroplus 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 In the first half of 20th century, Rokuhara Shogunate rules Japan with an iron fist of robotic suits of armor called Tsurugi, while the West wants to turn Japan into another military base. A policeman called Kageaki Minato arrives into a city of Kamakura to solve various different cases involving Tsurugi users (or Mushas), and when all other means are proven useless, defeats them with a skillful use of his own Tsurugi, the bloody red Muramasa. But he doesn't do that out of justice. He only wants to atone for his past sins and to defeat the most powerful Musha, one known as the Silver Star. “The devil I shall meet, the devil I shall cut. The saint I shall meet, the saint I shall cut.” This is the phrase that Kageaki says when fusing with Muramasa, and this is the phrase that tells both his past and his future… "Good and evil balance out each other." "This is not a hero's story. Those who aspire to become heroes are not needed." There are English reviews, but I need to play it myself. Naturally.  
    15. Trouble@Vampire! ~Ano Ko wa Ore no Goshujin-sama~ とらぶる＠ヴァンパイア！～あの娘は俺のご主人さま～ [091030] Luxury Ritsu is a new teacher at a prestigious ‘classical’ all-girls school. One day, he saves his students by protecting them from some magic, but ended up getting severely hurt. When he woke up, he saw a girl named Shion, who actually is a vampire. She called him her servant since she had bit him to save him from death after he had lost too much blood. Romance grows through interaction with students, so development is mostly sober despite unhuman heroines like vampires and werewolves. This setting is hardly utilized as normal humans would fit there as well. Even though there some battles, it remans a bland charage.

Unfortunately, due to his not being a very good fighter Lute graduated last in his class and is generally regarded as a good for nothing by his peers and teachers. As a result he’s assigned to the backwater border town of Boan, where they believe he’ll remain largely out of sight and out of mind. However, an encounter with a beatiful and deadly succubus will lead him to uncovering a conspiracy against the crown. Dealing with this will only be the first step in Lute’s rise not only amongst his fellow knights but eventually into the upper ranks of the kingdom itself.

    Synopsis: College student Kojima Kousaku is promised a high payment for assistance in scientific expedition on a southern island. However, a storm breaks out and the ship suffers a shipwreck. The crew gets separated and they start to search first for bed and food and then find a strange temple in the jungle.
    Structure: Pretty much one route with minor branching.
    Length: 4 hours
    Game type: Mysterious island adventure.
    Difficulty: Moderate. Several saves will lead you to some happy ending, although getting all happy endings will probably require a guide.

    Character Design rating: 7/10
    Protagonist rating: 4/10
    Story rating: 7/10
    Game quality: 7/10
    Overall rating: 6/10
    Rating comments: Game is thrilling and something constantly happening keeping you glued to the chair. So while playing it's totally fascinating, but the aftertaste is bitterish due to several shortcomings.
    Protagonist: Usual college student, nothing really outstanding.

    Characters: If we count only happy endings, they're only for the three girls. If count possible H-events, there are six characters. Characters seemed quite cliche to me - an active red-haired Ayano, a shy megane Yumi, professor young wife Shiori fills ojousama role, there's a blond american origin girl Monica and sexy mature professor secretary and partner Reiko, there's also the ingenious shaman girl Lira. They all share the same one-road story with minor branching leading to different girls happy ends - like go along the coast and that somehow means a happy end for Ayano, go by the forest and get the Shiori happy end. No meaning at all in that choice. Character design is great for all of them, but without voicing and with such small volume it's hard to start to feel sympathy.

    Story: The story is depicted quite shallowly. First acquaintance is with the local flora that can cause various effects on eating and fauna presented by tentacle monster beasts, who rape some girl, but never harm anyone leaving peacefully afterwards. Then we discover the jungle village where professor holds supremacy. He throws the crew in prison and makes them to participate in a ritual ending being trapped in a cave with tentacle monsters. Professor boasts that three years ago he made the first contact with the villagers of this island and they agreed to assist him if he can keep the tentacle monsters away. Somehow he managed to lock most of tentacle monsters in a cave. But most important are special fruits that grow in this location and turn humans into beasts - professor is going to use them militarily later. The crew manages to find a way to the inner temple of the cave with some high technology ancient device inside as well as a mutated monster to oppose. And couple events later the end.
    CG: The CG here are great but not too many for not a long game.

    Sound: Music was actually great. Lots of memorable tracks. What was especially cool is some midi sound that resembles a cry a lot and it's used in all the situations when a girl is in danger and she screams loudly. At that time music stops and after that some dangerous music starts playing - really good sound support.
    Overall comments: So game is thrilling, good-looking and memorable which is a lot. So here are the shortcomings the game is blamed for:
    1. Heroines happy ends depend on quite a random looking choice and are difficult to get without guide. And those happy ends are a short talk and couple of HCG, not really satisfying.
    2. The story is too short if all the 11 bad endings are cast away. So game has bad endings chasing in mind.
    3. Repetitiveness of actions is big since heroines "routes" branch quite early.
    To sum it up, game is short so it tries substitute volume with repetitiveness, fake happy endings, lots of bad endings and artificial rise in difficulty. Read it once to the end and get some happy ending and you're going to get a very good impression. But get all of three endings and your evaluation might fall as you get close to nothing for much additional effort.
