Otome Games... oh Otome Games.. WHY ARE YOU ONLY AVAILABLE IN JAPANESE!?!?!

Okay, see.


ONE. If you tell me to learn Japanese to be able to play it, imagine!
Maybe the moment i've mastered the Japanese needed to understand this is when i've lost interest in the games, which in another word = LOSS for you!

TWO. If you translate it and released it in english = PROFIT even though not tht much but at least enough to cover your cost for this production no?
EVIDENCE? Harvest Moon!

THREE. If you translate and released it in english = YOU ARE HELPING THE HUMANITY! Not only by making the english fandom comes true, but you are also decreasing the number of unemployment!



I've been eyeing Otome Games since few years ago, and IDEA FACTORY kinda gave us a ray of hope which been 'abandoned' 1 - 2 years ago.. =_= no news from them.

and recently Aksys just started taking an interest on english translation for Otome Games http://www.aksysgames.com/2010/10/07/we-know-you-love-surveys/


See, after waiting and waiting so patiently all these years, the lists of Otome Games i wished to play has piled up:
1. Ouran  High school Host club!
  
If you've read the manga or watch the anime, WHO WOULDN'T WANT THIS GAME??
Gosh.. I'm sure some ppl has lost their interest in desiring this game but moi doesn't..
See! See! See!!!
This is why i told you to translate it quickly before we all lose interest! Start pitying the english fandom like me who's still waiting for it..

2. Hakuouki
 I think this anime has just started to become famous recently? Thanks to the bishies.
Apparently my review post about this anime has always been topping the number of views of all my posts in this blog.

 3. Hiiro no Kakera 

One word... A W E S O M E.
I've decided to get the red-haired guy and the white-haired guy..


4. Fushigi Yuugi


 I've liked this manga since long ago and found out like a few months after that they have the otome games.


5. Will O Wisp


6. Clock Zero





I'm dying to play this!! It looks sooooo good!

 7. Himehibi


8. Death Connection 

  
Seems to be more of a boysih game but loving the scary arts. :)
Should be the same illustrator as Will O Wisp.

9. Real Code

GAHH! This game has a number of famous voice actors!
Let me note some: Hiroshi Kamiya, Miyano Mamoru, and Takashi Kondo!
yay!



 10. Starry☆Sky

This one shall be the best..
alot of famous seiyuu, and not to mention HEAPS OF BOYS!
Apparently i think this game has 4 different parts / separate CD game (I'm not sure, i haven't thoroughly check) and it's grouped in a different season, which in each season you met four guys.
I've set my eyes on the characters that my fav seiyuu are voicing. =p







Here are the links to the game main web:
spring 
summer 
fall 
winter

as much as i like fall, i'd prefer to play spring and summer. Spring because there's Ono Daisuke in it, and summer with Kamiya Hiroshi & Fukuyama Jun.

Anyway, i'll start to write my next post about this game :D


Actually if you're impatient and wanted to know more about this game storyline and review, go HERE.

OMFG Saitou kills me!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Summary:
Based on Idea Factory's romance adventure game: Yukimura Chizuru has come to Kyoto looking for her father, a doctor who has gone missing. While there, she witnesses a fight between Rasetsu and the Shinsengumi. Taking her into custody, the Shinsengumi debates on what to do with Chizuru when they discover that she is the daughter of the doctor they are also looking for. The Shinsengumi then takes Chizuru along on their search after the missing doctor, from adventures to adventures.


Finally finished the whole episodes in a few hours, yay! There are a total of 12 episodes in total. I'll put the review below the video since it will be a big spoiler. and here's the link if you guys want to watch it:

WARNING: These are highly concentrated super handsome Bishies!

Episode 1 (You can find the rests of the episodes with eng sub on the related videos)




Score: 7/10 mainly because of the bishies.



Plot:
It is interesting, for me. I like history, so yeah...
but this one is not the real history since they kinda changed some of the real facts but the characters name in there are all REAL names from the history. 

I suggest you guys to not open wikipedia and look at their photos because you won't want to stare at ajusshi (aka oojisan) after looking at the bishies ;p

I'm sure when you watched the first episode you might not like it because they focused more on the history instead of romance. And since this was originated from Otome Games, some scenes involving different guys are inserted but the main love interest here is Hijikata


Like some love moments in the game with Okita, Saitou, etc etc are inserted as small segment. I was kinda upset since because of that, there aren't that many scenes of Saitou there.. ;(
But i'm glad he didn't end up with that annoying b*tch.. =_=

I was kinda upset how each of the bishies turns to be an Oni (aka devil) one by one. In the story, Chizuru's father created a potion to turn a human into an Oni, and his father is on a run because of this creation. Apparently Kazama is unhappy with this because Kazama himself is a pure-blood Oni while these people are just fakes. Anyway, drinking the potion will help them in healing wounds really fast and better moves etc etc.. but everytime the bishies are down, they always ended up drinking it.. So far it's only Souji, Sannan, Heisuke, and Hijikata who drank it. I think Saitou will soon too at the 2nd season..




Characters:
Well.. they are all handsome.. but.. let me complain about the heroine, THIS IS A MUST.

If you guys actually read the comments, alot of people are complaining about the heroine in almost every episode.
I just hate the fact that she is being really useless there!

Okay, on the 1st episode, she claimed that she can use the short sword she owned and carried with her. Saitou wanted to make sure of it thus he asked her to go at him all out, however, she was easily defeated within a few seconds.

It was okay for me.. I mean, no matter how good you are in handling sword, going against the Shinsengumi is already impossible to win, this refers to you Chizuru (protagonist).

I thought that at least she would draw her sword when an emeny attacked her. but guess what she did?


she screamed..


Yeah, she screamed..


just that..


nothing else...
 

and almost at every minute, one of the shinsengumi will come to help her.

I mean, you have that fuckin sword, USE IT for damn sake!!!!!





Well there is a time when she almost draw her sword.. but it was ruined by Oni at the last episode..
=_= I would make up my mind about her if Oni didn't stop her.
It's her time to prove to the viewers that she's not as annoying as heck.


and and.. and at the last episode where they are going to towards a headquaters asking for a reinforcement, they were betrayed. A soldier shoot a bullet on them. Gen, who went with her, pulled her hands to run away.
Guess what she did?


She was still asking, "B..But the reinforcement.."

Oh.. my.. gosh... Chizuru.. Hello??? someone just shot a bullet on you.. and you are still thinking about reinforcement?



At this moment, i kinda hoped that the heroine was Haruhi from Ouran. *thumbs up for Haruhi!*
How epic would that be? Her cold attitude and all.. and i'm sure she will be brave enough to at least protect herself. She will try to.

Episode 12 was awesome except that some parts are ruined by Chizuru's scream.
I gotta say that i hate it when the anime girls are shouting, i can't stand their voice. But so far, the only seiyuu for anime girls that i can stand is Maaya Sakamoto. Does that name ring a bell?
Just search it in animenews network.


Okay that was long for Chizuru.

I'll introduce one by one.. or either you BETTER go here to read the full review of the characters.

Toshizou Hijikata



Yup he's the protagonist's love interest in the anime. :D
He's charming in both anime and game for me. But i like him a lot with short hair!



Kazama Oni
(he's HOT..)
Isn't he just so so so so so HOT for an antagonist!!!??!?!
Well, he's one of the bachelor in the game.. I like him in the anime even though he's not bad. His intention is to just take Chizuru back since Chizuru is an oni.
Even though he acted that way, but i had a feeling that he's not THAT bad.. and seemed the type that will protect you no matter what,
So Chizuru, he's the man for you.




Saitou Hajime (*My bias!!)
Do i still need to state you the reason why he's my fav?
Apparently, i found out that most ppl tend to like him as well.. i think in popularity ranking he's the first, then followed by either Hijikata or Okita.



Heisuke Todo


Doesn't he so much better with short hair? I can't stand seeing his long hair during the Edo period.. He looks so much mature as well with the short hair. Btw, he's the shota type. Keisuke Yamanami (Sannan)

This guys is creepy in the anime. He's like those good guys gone crazy because of stress.. He really freaks me out. I sensed that if i will EVER stayed around him, i better run.. =_= It's like he could turn you into an Oni or eat you up..

Harada Sanosuke


Don't know much about this guy...


Shinpachi Nagakura


He's the active and prankster type i guess? Very talkative and hyper throughout the episode.. and loves to show off.

Okita Souji


Soujiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!! My 2nd fav! Just by seeing his picture, you can tell what kind of guy he is right?
Yup, it's those playboy but nice type.
I really like him however.. he's got TBC.. which means that he will die... T^T

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I seriously love him because of the game, especialy the ending..
Okita: ……どうか忘れないで。僕は、いつだって君の幸せを願ってる。 [... Please don't forget. I am always hoping for your happiness]
だから信じて。たとえ、いつか離れるときが来ても。……僕の心は、永遠に君のものだ。
[So believe me. Even if I have to leave you, my heart is your's forever]
*Okita closes his eyes*
Chizuru: ……総司さん?
[Souji-san?]
NOOO!! I don't think he died though... well apparently he was just sleeping.. BETTER BE! He cannot die that fast yet!!!

Season 2 should be out like tomorrow or anytime soon this OCTOBER.


Hakuouki




FOUND A NEW ANIME!!

Yay to me!

It's called Hakuouki (click here for official site)

How did i came across this anime?
Well i was browsing the Otome Games forum and there's a thread for Hakuouki. Yes, it is a game. But later they make an anime. So no manga.

Did you play the game?
Nope. Since there's no english translation. With my currnet Japanese, i'm sure i'll be struggling alot to understand even a line XD


Did you watch the anime?
YES. I am currently watching it while I'm typing this (i paused it). I only watched it until ep 3 so far.
This is no average anime you girls normally watch. It's a bit of a shonnen, but the ppl who enjoyed it will be shoujo since all the characters are bishies. But i guarantee not ALL shoujo will like it.. Since..

umm.. the plot is kinda boring for girls who just like to all GAGA over bishies and romantic scenes. It's all about Samurai. I'm just saying but i'm the type who pratically enjoy all kind of drama so even if it is boring, i'll keep on watching it till the end as long as there are many good looking boys.. hahaha
and this anime does! If it doesn't, i might just leave it.. But for those girls who preferred bishies and good plot, i suggest you to just look at the pictures and play the games but not watch the anime.


I'm kinda lazy to post the boys pictures here, so i'll just give you the link to the game trailer and the anime.

GAME GAME SSL version ANIME
*cough*watchthegameSSLversionone*cough*

I'm kinda confused as well as how in games it is set in modern time while in Anime it's in the Edo. I think the story tells about how they can go to the past again or sth?? I'm not sureee!!
I'm not sure either whether the plot is the same. Or it's the 2nd season fo the game. I'll check it again.

The guy that i like if you watch the game SSL one is 0:16 aka Saitou Hajime
but the guy at 0:20 is not bad either.


Here's Saitou Hajime:


Okay! I'm off to watch this again and going all gaga to Hajime-sama! :P
