New OEL VN: Memo

Posted in Random Musings on February 8th, 2010 by sage – Be the first to comment

So there’s this new OEL VN that was released like a day ago. Normally I’d laugh at the idea of playing an OEL VN, but I found it kind of amusing that the MC has my name (Seji); also the art ain’t half bad, and features music by (and probably shamelessly stolen from) TAM. Nova already gave it a try, and I might check it out as soon as today.

Magical Girl Pretty Evatrice #06 Preview

I’ll never get tired of repeating this. I love these previews. Also, Miki Ito FTW! And MAGICAL GIRL PRETTY EVATRICE FTFW!!!!! And to those nay-sayers… why don’t you just GIVE UP AND DIEEEEEEEE!?!?!?

Disclaimer: What I say above about Eva only represents the views of my sleep-deprived mind. I still adore Beatrice very much so over anything in this ephemeral world. It’s just that… Miki Ito improves anything.

17歳!!

The previews are the only good thing about Seacats. I must admit her voice kind of creeped me out at first, but the end was so priceless. JYUU NANA SAI!

DREAD OF THE MOTHERF***ING GRAVE!!!!!

Bah, I haven’t even watched this week’s episode. Blah blah blah Rosa is one hell of a mother etc. Next week is when the novel becomes truly awesome, and it never looks back. I mean, this is THE song, the one that makes you go \o/ over Battler for being such an awesome big-mouthed bastard. I can’t wait for next week.

ps. Asmo-chan!!!

No Name Losers on Family Project

Posted in Random Musings on July 20th, 2009 by sage – Be the first to comment

By way of 4chan comes NNL’s complaints about Family Project, a visual novel recently released by JAST USA for the English-speaking visual novel crowd.

NNL’s main complaint is the following:

So JAST USA made the claim that the game is “fully uncensored [18+].” Wrong! While most of the game is indeed uncensored, they photoshopped several images of Matsuri, the youngest girl.

And THIS, good sirs, is why the world still keeps looking at the otaku community with disgust. I do see the reasons for JAST to do this (they are just covering all their flanks, mind you that the depicted character is actually 13, regardless of what JAST advertises), all the more when there are groups of people like NNL with their creepy pedophile attitude, ready to show the wrong side about your hobby.

Umineko Anime Eps. 1 & 2 – The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Posted in Random Musings on July 9th, 2009 by sage – Be the first to comment

EPISODE 1:

The Good:

  • The opening and ending songs
  • Koshimizu’s performance as Rosa is delicious
  • Horie Yui is doing a great job with Maria (Yes, she is supposed to be THAT annoying)
  • They used some of the VN BGMs
  • Surprisingly, OnoD can pull a lecherous Battler quite perfectly

The Bad:

  • Practically no introduction to most characters
  • The pace is way too fast

The Ugly:

  • Censoring mild insults in late night anime
  • Balloon tits PIG DISGUSTING (They ruined Natsuhi’s moe ;_; )
  • Bishounen Code Geassy retrovirus (Kanon = Lelouch, George = Lloyd)
  • Battler’s eyes, the horror!

EPISODE 2:

The Good:

  • Headache Natsuhi is always moe
  • New Moe Natsuhi mode: Pajama Natsuhi!!! \o/
  • Flustered big breasted maid Kugyuu FTW
  • Some VN BGMs were used

The Bad:

  • Even faster pacing, which made everything look disjointed. Looks like a couple of random scenes sloppily spliced together (and since everything is playing at like 10x, the main idea of some scenes radically changed. ie. George’s confession to Shannon)

The Ugly:

  • goldenslaughterer… they only play like 40 seconds of it, and none of it is the climax of the song
  • Because of the former, added to fast pacing, the First Twilight lost most of its shock value

Anyways, I’m just hoping that they get this episode done already, because they already dropped the ball on it and it doesn’t seem like they’ll pick it up soon enough.

zaitcev on Last Exile

Fresh from the Last Exile oven, zaitcev says:

I see now why bloggers say that all GONZO shows are exactly the same (except Vandread): they really are.

He is forgetting another exception to the rule: Gankutsuou. I have mentioned it to him quite a few times, and in my not-so-humble opinion, it is THE Gonzo show to watch, even if you already intend to ditch Gonzo.

ps. A former horse fetishist in #ndt mentions Seto no Hanayome. Uhhh… ok, so that’s another exception. In my defense, GONZO was paired with AIC (“Elhazard”, “Now and Then, Here and There”), who probably put most of the brawns and made the show not suck.

Yo. Sage here.

Aroduc dumped me, so I kinda thought about creating a blog to emo about it and… well, it wouldn’t hurt to talk about animu and mango and stuff sometimes, I guess.

This is my waifu

ps. This is mai waifu
