Spring 2013 Anime fever~

It's Spring in Japan again....woohoo~

What's the best way to welcome Spring? Answer: It's this season's anime lineup! My heart goes ドキドキ just thinking about all the awesome anime airing this season. I won't be covering the animes as most information are available on wikipedia or animenewsnetwork. But I've got lots for bishies to share now. Brace yourself ladies and gentlemen. Spring is the best season for Moe and Bishies to shine. Oh my oh my...

Spring Anime recommended by me:

1. Uta no prince sama 2 

2. Karneval

3. Red data girl

............................................................................................................................

New bishies spotted in Uta no Prince sama 2. They are the pioneering princes a.k.a. our beloved prince sama's seniors. I love the 2nd guy from the left. He's so cool and he seems like a potential ikemen yanderesama  to me. There's a surprise arrangement in the anime......guess who our prince sama will be staying with this season. Here's a hint, each of these bishies share resemblance with our prince sama. As always, ドキドキ (> . <)

A dear friend of mine introduced me to another カッコいい anime, "Karneval" with varieties of bishies in it. This season is bad for my fragile heart with all the heart pounding bishies around. Bonus, cool seiyuus are voicing these awesome characters. Gareki seems to be my favorite so far. Do hope to see more heartrobs from Karneval. 

Imagine living without being able to use electronic devices. Yes, Miyuki is one in a million to live life without using modern electronics. What is the reason? Watch it to find your answer! I love megane characters, she's so moe too. None the less, a different vibe of bishies appears in Red Data Girl too. This is by far the best season for me. :D

Line Play is fun!

 New item in Line Play! There's new cute bathtub, bed, and dressing table. 可愛いよ. There's more to explore in the shop. I even bought a white grand piano, there's pink grand piano available too. Some items are on discount now so grab your chance to buy more furnitures for your home.

*Online Otome game* Star Project!

Introducing my recent obsession, online otome game "Star Project"! It's filled with bishies as you can see. I could just scream from all the excitement. The story goes like this, the main character which is a female, that is YOU (insert own name) is running an artist management agency and you happen to stumble upon Touya. You've decided to take Touya in as one of your artist to build your harem business. Here's a brief summary of the game. I'll do the details on other post in the near future.

Touya's details. He has an interesting personality, cheerful and upbeat. Sometimes he can be a little childish but he's cute when he's angry or when he blushes. Hint: Touya likes the cafe (he use to work in one) and the Pool (located in Odaiba). Those places are generally places where you'll earn higher love points. 

To progress in the story, you'll need sufficient love points, star points, and agent level. Work hard to build up your characters. You can have your stars take singging, dance, acting or speech lessons as well. Each lesson involves a mini game. Cool?

Ren is the mysterious type, the type I am very much attracted too....ahem. Back to reality, Ren is interested in the main character because......if you wanna know, go play the game yourself! =P

Hint: Ren likes high-class places such as the Restaurant and he enjoys strolling at the Theme Park's zoo. 

About the gameplay, refer to the red marked box. Here's the summary of the basic stats:

                     Clock: today's date (as it's online, real time ticks)

                     Star: Currency used in the game (earned by acting/shows/singing/commercials/part-time)

                    Gold: Currency used in the game (you have to buy it for real with REAL money)

                    Orange bar: Energy status (used to perform actions)

You will get to unlock pictures like this when you clear a show/commercial/drama. Included, you'll earn some points to help your character level up. For example, clearing a dance performance increases your star points and dance points. Too bad nothing gain out of part-time work apart from money. 

 After you manage to clear each scenario from the characters, you'll get to unlock cool CGs such as this! Oh my waffle, this is so hot and steamy. Me like very much. Each character has their own storyline and each time you clear a scenario, more information about the character's past and issues are revealed. 

Thoughts: I personally like Ren but I guess it's based on preference, some people might find Touya's sunny side charming. Both males are total bishies which I definitely love so so much! Happy playing and don't forget to share your thoughts here. 

Season of Love!

It seems like it's the season of love for anime. There's quite a few romance genre being released this winter such as "Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun", "Sukitte Iinayo", "Kami-sama Hajimemashita", and "Hiiro no Kakera". I believe everyone's familiar with those titles especially Hiiro no Kakera.

Introducing my current favourite, Sukitte Iinayo (left) and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun (right). Those bishies....*nosebleed*. I love romance genre but it was kind of a let down when I notice the similarity between Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun and Sukitte Iinayo. Now, let us compare the 2 anime shall we? :D

1. Characters

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, there's a nerdy (plain) female lead "Shizuku" and an outgoing male lead though he's a little weird "Haru". Similar characters appear in Sukitte Iinayo "Mai" and "Yamato". Clear difference that we can see is the character's appearance and that Mai is a little tomboyish than Shizuku and Yamato seems to be more 'sane' than Haru. Another difference if that Mai love cats and Shizuku doesn't seem to have any luck with pets. (I'll only post relevant pics else it'll spoil the show)

[Picture from Sukitte Iinayo] Reason why I said Mai was more tomboyish.....she kicked Yamoto during their first meeting. Wanna know why she did that? Go watch the series! =P

2. Plot

Even the plot seems similar to me or maybe it's just me? The 2 series starts off with the main chars being students and meeting each other then the male leads starts falling in love with the female leads. Both series events similarities include a 3rd party in their relationships, jealousy, friends vs lover, and how the female lead bravely chance their attitude. Touche don't  you think? Later on, it is revealed there's some bullying occuring in both the series including the main char's bad memories.

[Picture from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun] Blonde bishe Yamaken seems to take a liking to Shizuku. Haru's been furious about it. So cute Haru.

3. Extremely bishie black-haired male leads!

Both series male leads are black-haired I tell you. It's difficult to choose between who is the most handsome since the 2 chars are of different style. Let's take a look at their bodies  looks. >.<

[Sukitte Iinayo] Yamato from various angle. He look so mature yet cool. I like the second pic. What say you? His smiling face makes me smile too. He has a more grown up look compared to Haru and most of all, his seiyuu is my all time favorite Takahiro Sakurai who voiced Luka Crosszeria from Uraboku! Kyaa~

[Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun] Haru look so cute whenhe blushes. Though the voice actor's voice isn't to my liking much but the character's design sure is. He blush a lot when he's with Shizuku....hehe. Look into those eyes, it's tempting. Oh my my.... Haru please don't stare so much! >.<

the Second Reproduction (Otome)

Recently my dear friend Serene has introduced to me an interesting otome game known as "the Second Reproduction" developed by Heterodoxy.

Intro: Christina is a princess and also a champion of her kingdom. She was given the order to kill the demon lord Gardis in order to stop his evil ambitions. She discovered a side of Gardis which deem unusual for a demon lord to her understanding. What will happen to Christina now? Play as Christina to discover the personality of the demon lord, her loyal's knight secret, and uncover the truth behind her missing memory.

Genre: Otome game (not suitable for under 18 years of age)
Developer: Heterodoxy

Along the way in this game, players are forces to make choices in order for the story to advance. Wrong choices may lead to a tragedy and appropriate choices may lead to a better ending. In order to get a "happy" ending, quests are to be completed. More info inside the game guide. Hints will be given in the game as well.

Overall the gameplay is fairly good. The storyline is a little messy at the beginning but it clears off rather well at the end. I love how there are mystery kept by each characters. My favorite would have to be sir knight Lezette! There are multiple endings for the game, all depend on the choices you make along the gameplay. The graphics and voices are extremely appealing. I highly recommend this game. Here's some screen shots of the game:-

I hope you'll try out the game, it won't take long to download and fairly easy to set up. No installation required for the game. There's even patches ready once downloaded. Happy playing~
