Otome Game Review: Tokyo Yamanote Boys -Super Mint-

So now that we’re done with the cotton candy aliens from Honey Milk, it’s time for Long Torso, Trap & Non-Rapist Yusa in Super Mint! The virus plot appears to remain the same…until Jesus comes along and kills the vaccine! Boom suddenly the vaccine plot is gone and Super Mint is now left to create a West Side story plotline to keep us entertained so that we don’t think this game is THAT shallow. Sadly, this doesn’t work, so I hope you like our choice of mans this time around or you’ll be bored to tears like I was. Continue reading “Otome Game Review: Tokyo Yamanote Boys -Super Mint-“ →

Otome Game Review: Sora＊Yume

The story is about Mizunaga Satsuki whose parents run some antique item store. One day she finds a ring in the storage room and it turns into some caped dude with a sword through his chest. She pulls the sword out and then he tells her the reason he’s not bleeding is because he’s a demon. She hears this and passes out and hears various ikemans proposing their love to her. She wakes up thinking it was all a dream until she wakes up to the demon-man right in her face. Turns out she’s released the seal of the ring and now he’s looking for the Heliotrope ring and asks Satsuki to help him find & destroy it. The reason is because anyone who puts the ring on will get their wishes granted, but at the expense that the ring will devour their blood until it merges with their body & turns them into a hateful blood sucking vampire. As Satsuki searches for the ring with the help of her tsukaima, she starts to discover many things about herself and the people around her. Skip to my final thoughts to avoid spoilers!

Poupee Tanabata 2011 & 3 Year Anniversary

Looks like this year’s Tanabata items are in the shell spring, boo lol. Fortunately because of that I was able to buy LAST year’s Tanabata wallpaper for only 15 ribbons! Yippie! So if you want this year’s don’t blow 1,000 ribbons…just wait a year and it’ll be like 90% off 😆 Also what’s with the bamboo randomly sticking out of the roof? XD; Continue reading “Poupee Tanabata 2011 & 3 Year Anniversary” →

Anime Expo Otome Game Localizations

So I’m sure everyone’s heard it by now but for anyone who’s been under a rock:

[News] JAST USA 'Looking' Into Licensing Starry Sky Project http://crim.ms/iTqurh #anime

— Geek Smash Me (@geeksmash) July 3, 2011

We are proud to announce that we will be releasing Fate/Extra and Hakuoki for the PSP!

So yea Hakuoki & Starry Sky have been picked up by USA publishers. My thoughts? Well I’m jealous that I can’t be working on these projects with them and getting paid for it! 😆 (not that it would ever happen seeing how I’m on the opposite end of the coast il||li＿|￣|○il||liｶﾞｰﾝ。 ) I’m not really that excited as I don’t think Starry Sky or Hakuoki franchises are ALL THAT GREAT. There’s a lot of better games (Cough TAKUYO cough) but for a foot into the otome market I think they made the right choice. Let’s face it, I still get a shit ton of hits daily on my starry sky in spring post and I get hits for Hakuoki in RUSSIAN. So needless to say, I think both games have a pretty big following despite what anyone may think and it will help earn revenue for both companies so that perhaps one day they can pick up better games for the English market.

Tartaros Offline Event News & Announcements

Cause apparently a shit ton of things were announced I figured I’d translate it! First the next town will be called Aisen:

Most likely will start from level 68. Seeing how the level cap was just recently raised and there’s about a 2 month span between level cap raise I’m guessing we can expect this at the end of August, early September.
