Review Plans for July - August

Sorry about disappearing for a few months, though... I don't think people really look at my blog LOL. My computer died for a couple of months, and I got it workable at the end of June. So now I'm back to talking to myself about otomes on blogger.

Downloaded Memoirs of an Angel after the update was announced, and started playing through it already so a review of that? Definitely. Other than that I'm playing Narcissu which isn't an otome, and bought Fire Emblem Fates but I play as a boy my first time around and depending on how burnt out I feel I may do a run through as female and review it. I also got Dangan Ronpa 1 on Steam so I got a lot of non otome to play. So basically, this is mostly a time where I'm playing non otome games.  I'm also going to an anime con in August and possibly going camping so...

However, I did download After School Affairs, and bought OZMAFIA!! on Steam. I feel like the OZMAFIA review won't be coming for a long time though...
Currently I've played all the guys main routes in After School Affairs, and making my way into sequels and special stories. As for Memoirs, I completed the King guy's route, and OZMAFIA I'm working on romancing Scarlet right now (BEST BOY BEST BOY!)

Review Schedule:
Memoirs of an Angel
After School Affairs
Fire Emblem Fates (Possibly)
OZMAFIA!! (Possibly if I spend all my free time playing it LOL)

[Kusoge Review] Persona 4 Dancing All Night

I told myself not to review anything outside the otome genre... But Persona 4 Dancing All Night obviously wouldn't let me do that oh no. All reviews I've seen have actually had the gall to recommend this. And I guess, If Persona 4 is your favorite game series ever, it's hard to tell you not to. But myself being a huge Persona fanboy, along with all things SMT and most ATLUS games, myself? I wish I could have gotten my money back.

[Otome Game Review] A Troll's Fairy Tale

A Troll's Fairy Tale is a game that was made for NaNoReNo, an event where people try to make games within a month. I'm actually participating this year (2016) so not only did I play it for fun, but also for some inspiration along with a few other non-otome VN's. The version I played was a bit polished up, released three months after the original version. I'm not sure what all's different, but I did notice the CG's had a bit more polish to them compared to the sprites (One noticeable difference being how the artist drew Acacia's hair in the CG's compared to her sprite.) But enough with the small bits, let's talk about the actual game here.

GrapeCity Con

So, this isn't otome game related, but I wanted to do coverage of my local towns con anyways :P

[Otome Game Review] Cupid [16+]

Just in time for Valentines day, a visual novel about that mischievous angel of love! This game doesn't SHOW any details of body parts, but it's still very much not safe for work, so I'll be warning for that ahead of time. It also have very bloody disturbing parts, and pretty much anything people find unnerving is in here somewhere (mentions of rape, abuse, suicide, etc) What a lovely game to play on Valentines Day, right? Also, this game isn't really something I'd consider too much of an otome. Romance is there, yes, but it feels like it's in it's own category or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass

The interesting thing about this game is that you, the player, do not take the role of the main character. Instead, you take the role of a voice inside her head called 'Mother' That guides her by either being a super abusive bitch or a slightly less abusive mother that actually shows a semblance of caring for her daughter.

[Otome Game Review] Seduce Me the Otome

Getting Seduced by Incubi? Why does this sound familiar...

Repetitive titles for the win!!!

Ahem, this is an otome game I've had my eyes on for awhile now but never got around to actually playing it until around November, and I was pretty slow even then X,D I think it's the art style that caught me off. The anatomy's fine for the most part but the faces looked really bad at certain points! The main thing that kept me going was the voice acting. In fact, it's what got me interested in it. Seiyuus nice, but I always had a fondness for english voice actors and would like more otome games to get an english dub (outside of anime versions that usually will get dubbed....) And I've always wanted to be a voice actor and did some amateur fandubbing myself so I really appreciate the effort they put into this game.

It's a bit ironic that in October I was playing an otome game (Cute Demon Crashers) about Incubus and a Succubus and here I am in February reviewing another game with about the same setting.  They may have a lot of the same choices in it, but Seduce Me and Cute Demon Crashers are very different in tone and what they mean to accomplish. Seduce Me is more of a forbidden love story with deep lore while Cute Demon Crashers is more of a nukige, I'd actually compare Seduce Me's Plot more to DiabolikLovers with a dash of Shin Megami Tensei thrown into the mix. Looks like Incubi are becoming the new Vampires in the world of otome...

Review Plans for February - March

Taking it a bit easy on my wallet these months, as I'm planning only free game reviews. Being free usually means it's short and this also helps give me some more time to play through other side otomes casually. That doesn't mean I'm not buying otome games this month, but they're all in Japanese and I'm not the best at Japanese so I don't want to mess with that, so they're only for private enjoyment.

Anyways
Planned games:

Seduce Me The Otome
Cupid
A Troll's Fairy Tale

I've already played a route in Seduce Me, but the others I havn't touched, just have them downloaded on my computer so far.  As for imports, I'll be getting Diabolik Lovers, Vita Edition, Cause I want to see whats so hyped up about it. I'm prepared for the inevitable disappointment like when I played Hakuoki. Other than that I'm really interested in CollarxMalice, just wish they'd announce the script writer already. My friends are telling me to play Norn9, and since it got translated expect a review of it... sometime this year probably.
