Diabolik Lovers - 01

During the past years, anime has been the medium which hooks me the most, be into the related manga, visual novels or drama CDs.

As someone who never had any contact with Diabolik Lovers before, I admit being somewhat anxious to watch the anime version, because this series has spawned so many drama CDs I don't feel like listening to it all, so the anime might be a faster way to get hold of the story and characters... I just didn't expect it to be that fast.

Really liked this episode-marker screen!

I mean, come on, a regular episode is already short enough running around the 24-minute-mark, but Diabolik Lovers is only 14-minute-long. It only leaves me wondering if 12 episodes are going to be enough for a plot to be told.

Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000% - Op.3

With such skills, Sho could pretty much star an anime of his own.

After the first two episodes dedicated to character presentation, we now enter into the character development phase, in which there will probably be one episode for each of the main characters, much like the first season had - in episode 3, the main character is Sho Kurusu.

Seifuku no Ojisama news - April 4 (updated April 5)

Currently been preparing bigger posts about two new games so I didn't post much lately, but please keep tuned for these reviews.

In the meantime, have a few quick drops:

Cinderella and the Twenty Four O'Clock Bell - Spencer Hendrick end

Warning for "Unlimited Ranting Words".

When I first read about "that Cinderella game" more than a year ago, I saw the cast and had eyes only for Reynald Halloween because of his seiyuu (Takeshi Kusao, known for Cless Alvein from Tales series, also notable for Shugo Aizawa from Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3). However, it hit me hard when I knew his character didn't had a route, so I forgot completely about that game.

So gentlemanly charming~

Time skip to a few days ago, friday, March 8th 2013: I found out Jouji Nakata had voiced a character in an otome game which was released prior to Double Score. While looking it up, a surprised face was rised as I figured "that Cinderella game" had turned into a series, much like other QuinRose franchises.

Being the big seiyuu stalker I am, the wonders of modern day tech allowed me to play this game last week. And wow, it sure was a fast play...

My Sweet Bodyguard - Casino Royale event #3

Were the bugs really sorted out...?

After the real mess following the event's grand opening, I have started doing the character routes available.

The main premise is that the Prime Minister (the good for nothing protagonist's father) has some affairs within the USA (randomly curious note: My Sweet Bodyguard's common route stories takes place in Japan) and he kinda invites you (and every bodyguard, including Goto, who haven't a route in this event) to come along. From there on, you pass through assorted dangerous situations together with the bodyguard of choice.

Without further delay, here's a sort of abridged review for Daichi and Subaru's routes...

My Sweet Bodyguard - Daichi "Chief" Katsuragi route #3

Wait, what do you mean "too soon"?

Got his best ending, finally~

I am kinda out of words for an intro.

From now on I'd already started his route over again, because I want to see what his other 3 endings are like - thruth is I am afraid of starting over with another character and lose all the clothing I bought for Daichi, they might be only for him, but the worst case scenario would be having to throw everything away (all the Enders earned so slowly...).

Warning for (im)mature themes and partial nudity of a 2D character.

Before we get to the closure of his route, I would like to comment shortly on something silly which amused me:

Be My Princess - Roberto Button route

Today's post is not the sequel for My Sweet Bodyguard, not yet, but it's about another game from the same developers: Be My Princess.

That formal wear... dear, it doesn't suit you AT ALL

I've been playing this game for some months already. Did Joshua's route full with the good end first, now going for Roberto - I was going to do him first, but right after I've cleared the prologue chapters, Joshua's route became available with bonus items for clearing his story, so I did him and got some nice charm boost XD

So yeah, Roberto...

My Sweet Bodyguard - Daichi "Chief" Katsuragi route #2

Last night, when I was formatting the post for the Alice game, someone have asked why I didn't write about Sweet Bodyguard's Katsuragi end... figures I didn't end it yet - suddenly the game has a bazillion extra episodes to go through AFTER the 15 default chapters.

I missed this event due to lack of courage to spend money on this game T_T;;

In the end it didn't matter me using my Love Passes earned through dates and seasonal events, because the limiter now is 36000 Ender (the in-game currency) to I hope finally see the ending: I am now crawling through that goal, but I'll write about what I've seen anyway.

Dia no Kuni no Alice - Jericho Bermuda route

So... do you remember, when I said in the "hype list" post that I would not play Dia no Kuni this year yet?

I lied. Truth is, I just couldn't resist him any longer.

Warning for sarcastic jokes - read at your own sanity's risk.

Also warning for screenshot overload.

My Sweet Bodyguard - Daichi "Chief" Katsuragi route

All his tidyness got me

Edgey Daichi is the first character I'm going for in this game and I'm almost in the end of his route.

Yeah, I'm a cheap smartass and I'm playing the Gree version - it's for free, even if it allows you to read only a few scenes per day, playing like this ensures the game lasts for long.

I have been getting all the extra sweet stories so far - currently on the second half of chapter 14 (out of 15, according to the in-game help) - however, I haven't been getting the right answers through the way, so I am unsure if I'll be able to have his best ending.

For that reason, I can say Daichi is very hard to read, however, he feels so plain and predictable sometimes...
