2014 April - 2015 March Reject Calendar Scans

Well as some of you may or may not have known, Rejet was selling calendars on their official shop site for $30some each, with a different series being featured for each month. Personally, I had a hard time deciding if I should buy it or not, since I only wanted select series. Plus, I wanted that money for Dark Fate instead. XD Regardless, here are the scans to persuade you if you want to buy or just save the pretty pictures...or make your own calendar lol.

Bad Medicine ~Infectious Teachers~ Situation Drama CD White Vol 1: Shido Kaname - Overview & Babbles

Shido Kaname (CV: Takahashi Hiroki) is a 29-year old perfectionist/realist English teacher who's 184cm tall and is intelligent and witty. He's half British and graduated from a prestigious school in America. Although he acts mature and caring, he loathes people who lack intelligence. Regardless, he's still popular amongst students. Seems like his fetish is scent.

-Monologue-

I became alone.

Again, I became alone.

There’s no merit for living,

The existence has returned.

My reason for existence

Was not given to me in the beginning,

To give, and to be deprived of it

Allowed me to know sadness for the first time.

And so to heal the pain of the body,

Something must break.

Only you know how many

Wounds will satisfy you.

It’s painful. It’s painful. It’s painful.

Somebody, I… …

-Monologue End-

*Flashback*

Azusa: (Ahh… ...I want to die soon… … Will these hardships disappear if I die?)

(That’ll please me and I want that. If the suffering continues even in death, then I won’t be able to bear that… ...)

(At least before I die, I want to have a little more fun now… …)

… … Nn… …

Special Volumes of Soine Hitsuji Released (And Dear Gawd, the Characters I Associate Them With)

The Special Volumes of Soine Hitsuji created by Honeybee and BlackButterfly came out today! (And the voice samples are there as well) They're CDs and the original 4 volumes have iPhone/Android apps. For those of you who don't know what it is... Basically they whisper sweet nothings in your ear as they help you fall asleep, kinda like Sleepytime Boyfriend if you've listened to that. But want to know what's even better? Take a look at those horns: They help you fall asleep... by counting sheep, LOL!  >v<

Special Vol 1: CV Tsuda Kenjiro

Special Vol 2:  Toriumi Kousuke

 I already had at least 1 character in mind for each seiyuu. But the fun part was going back to look up and see if they've done other roles I liked (My Seiyuu knowledge is very limited, for I never used to care for the name behind the voice :| )and just.... heheh

VERSUS Ⅱ Ayato VS Laito’s Scenario Sneak Peek! Translation

Well, not sure if someone translated this already or not... But a few days ago, Rejet posted on the DiaLovers blog a sneak peak of the upcoming Versus II drama CD - Ayato vs Laito. This also takes place I believe during a lunar eclipse when their desire for blood is much stronger so... this should be fun. XD This is just a quick little translation, so I apologize if there are some mistakes here or there.

Some Otomate Games Migrating to Vita

(Edit: Diabolik Lovers Dark Fate has a release month)

As of a recent announcement, it seems like a few upcoming games by Otomate will be released on the Playstation Vita.

Here are the games to be released on Vita:

Cheritz's Upcoming Game Has an English Title Now!

Well at the beginning of the month, Cheritz announced that they had a new upcoming game. However, the title was in Korean and sadly my Korean knowledge is close to none. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

In celebration of White Day, Cheritz decided to give free bookmarks of its new title with every order for a limited time until the bookmarks ran out. And so, it seems like the bookmark has the English title on it as well! ♪

_____________________________________________________________________________________

-Monologue-

I’m pleased when I shed blood.
Each time I see that smile,
It seems that I wish to exist here
After all.

And yet… ...they often strike me with their arms,
And before my eyes I become thin.

I cling onto the notion of wanting to be hit,
But that only drives others away.

Eventually,
I was able to catch sight of what I wanted to do.

In order to satisfy myself, I want them to use their power;
Strike me, I want to be kicked.

This was the reason that I
Longed for.
Let this be visible through blood and pain.

They said that I might be here
Because of the sign.

That’s why I
Use the little strength I own and be kicked against the stone pavement
And steal food:

Ripe fruit that’s just been cut
And a little bit of bread.

In this, I want more,
And everything goes well.

――And yet, God why?

Bad Medicine ~Infectious Teachers~ Situation Drama CD White Vol 3: Kakeru Kuzuha - Overview & Babbles

(Lol, I started this post back in January and it's March. I'm so lazy)

 

"Or rather, you shouldn't stay behind this late. 

You're a girl, so you should be more careful."

Kakeru Kuzuha (CV: Takahashi Naozumi) - a.k.a. "The Most Terrible Playboy" - is a 26-year-old 180cm (approx. 71in I think) World History teacher that is flashy in both appearance and behavior and has a leg fetish. (^_−)☆ He grew up without a mother so he's kinda prejudice, thinking all women want to just play around. He enjoys playing around himself and doesn't see much value in people.

 Omg Rejet, why you do this, stawp. _(┐「ε:)_

*Place: Yui’s Bedroom*

Yui: (… …The wound that Azusa-kun gave me refuses to heal)
(Even if you ask how much treatment, it’s impossible to know… ...)
Azusa-kun, uhm… is your wound alright?

Azusa: Is it alright… …
… …It’s rooted in me so clearly, right?

Yui: (It’s not alright… …)

Azusa: Yui-san.
… …I have a request.

Yui: Request?

Dandelion ~Wishes Brought to You~ Demo Summary & Review

Playing Nameless made me curious about playing Cheritz’s other title. And so I felt like dating some animals today, finally hopping deeper into the Cheritz bandwagon. 8D And it's a pretty frackin’ adorable game. Not really a visual novel per se like Nameless in terms of choices; it’s more-so a stat raising game. But I still enjoyed it a lot. (There is story though; it's just decided through stats rather than choices)


Story: Heejung Kim is a 21-year-old student living in Busan, South Korea and seeking her place in the world. With her final months of university approaching, she knows she has to decide what she's going to do with her life. However, when she awakens to find a basket full of small animals mysteriously place inside her locked home. Their presence seems to do little her outlook - until one day, they've been turned human! From that point, she's made a choice, and there's no turning back. What will Heejung's fate be, now that she's sharing a roof with five men who are nothing like she's ever met before? Will her choice affect the "game" they've been sent to partake in?

The demo starts two months after she's found these lovelies~

If you’re like me who knows jackshit about Korean, it might be confusing with all the dudes' names starting with “Ji” (theres a reason for that. Click here). However, the more you spam the hell out of it play the demo, the more used to them you’ll get c: Or for me, writing their names a bajillion times

Here's a quick name guide:

Heejung (CV: Mira Yoo) - The heroine
Jisoo (CV: Kyungmyung Kim) - The black kitty. His text is red.
Jiyeun (CV: Myungjun Kim) - The orange kitty. His text is orange.
Jihae (CV: Nakyoo Choi) - The fluffy silver bunny. His text is dark blue.
Jieun (CV: Kyungtae Lee) - The baby white bunny. His text is teal.
Jiwoo (CV: Seongil Lee) - The spotted bunny. His text is green.

In this game, you have a few meters: Femininity, Beauty, Art Skill, Stress, and Pressure. At the bottom is another type of stress bar (the one that says max), so no, it's not a love bar. When that one fills up, you can unlock more activities to do around the house. Stress can be relieved by resting on the couch or taking a bubble bath, and pressure can be relieved by studying. You can also get money by working on weekends. I honestly don't know what happens when pressure goes all the way up, but it warns you when it's getting there. Once school starts, I always have Heejung study when I boy I want to pursue isn't home lol.

If Heejung accumulates too much stress, you'll get an event. She'll have a headache and can't sleep when Heejae calls, asking if she wants to go drinking with friends. When she gets there, she'll feel a little uneasy that everyone left and it's just the two of them, but she goes anyway. What started as one drink turns into many many more, and the drunk rambles begin. XD Heejae rambles that when he first saw Heejung, she looked a lot like his first love/crush. But he wants something mutual, so he proposes they be drinking buddies.

Later on, he takes her back home and awkwardly stands around until she's inside. Whoever's route you're own will then ask why you're home so late. Heejung also doesn't feel better with her new headache, because getting batshit drunk is always the solution lol.

Once it’s Fall, you can go to more places other than the beach, park, and university. Other areas available in the demo are university, the park, art gallery, the beach, bookstore, restaurant, café, and cinema. You can also go to the store, bookstore, or go to work. *snicker* Some of the items to avoid copyright are hilarious, such as the Pony Station Portable and MakBook Cloud. XD

Also...their mouths move! How neat is that? (｡´∀｀)ﾉ Heejung also has a voice, which surprised me.

Another thing that surprised me is that this game allows you to pet them. Look how adorable he is~ (*≧▽≦)

This post will be very picture heavy, because I went screenshot crazy (｡゜౪ ゜｡)ฅ✧
(For TLDR, just skip to the bottom lol)

SPLENDIDEST OTOGE - Let's Date a Tiramisu! (*＾ワ＾*)/*:・ﾟ✧ Review

(whatisthisIdon'teven)

ALRIGHT. So I'm floating around and I see that the peeps who brought Cyanide Tea have another game out there: Splendidest Otoge. In this online game, you're a chick named -well you can use any name but I was randomly generated "Kate" so I'll use that - who's a high school student working at a bakery. She's promoted from cash register to patisserie, and her first task is to make a tiramisu that someone will pick up in the morning. So Kate slaves away in the kitchen, wanting her first cake to be super awesome for her very first customer. Before closing up for the night she makes a little prayer that she hopes her cake will make someone very happy. And then she clonks out.

Happy White Day from the Boys!

Hello there again and Happy White Day! Hope all you girls received some choco from guys in your life. ⁝(๑⑈௰⑈)◞⁝˚º꒰꒱ No one in America celebrates this holiday welp

Below you'll find my small collection of White Day pictures from otomes and whatnot. If I find more, I'll slap 'em on here. Feel free to download these pretties~

Yui: (Hm… …?)

(Uhm, that voice… …?)




???: … …Really, Eve… …

… …Can’t… … Adam… …?




Yui: (This voice; It’s Azusa-kun’s)

(Eve? Adam?)

(What is he talking about… …)

(Occasionally Azusa-kun mentions Eve… … the name which I am sometimes called)

(Could the reason why I was brought here be related to this)

… … … …

(I feel somewhat awkward eavesdropping)

(I’ll open the door just a little so that I can hear more of the conversation──)

A Translator's Rant

So I noticed there’s a certain… issue spamming Akui’s ask box (majority that she hasn’t published) that’s bothering me. It’s a bit of a rant, but here’s my two cents anyway.

The main point of this rant: Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. If someone is doing you a favor, then appreciate it. Hate me all you want, but I won’t stand idle while insults are hurled to those I care for.

30 Day Otome Challenge - Day 2: First Love

And I'm here again with day 2 of this otome challenge I found. _(┐「ε:)_ This time it's "First Love" (My my, haha)

I'm assuming this challenge is for the games only, and not any animes. Lol, sorry Hakuouki boys.

Otome Panel: Sabakon 2014

We just got news today that me, Akui, and our friend Ray Ray’s panel got approved for the anime convention: Sabakon 2014! (* >ω<) AHAHAA. It’s in late April (Las Vegas).

What might it be about? (/^▽^)/ “The Wondrous Fandom of Otome Animes”. We wanted to do games, but the animes are more popular.

30 Day Otome Challenge - Day 1: First Otome Game

(Post also here)

The original challenge can be found here, and well, I decided to jump on the bandwagon haha (and because I'm bored). I'll probably do these out of order since I don't feel I have enough adequate otome knowledge to answer them all. _(┐「ε:)_

Tiger & Bunny: Hero's Day - Kotetsu T. Kaburagi Route Summary & Review

.....I'm a huge Tiger & Bunny fan. This was bound to happen. XD (I think I'm the only one who plays this game guys //slapped)  Besides being a fan, I don't see much of this game out there, especially when the anime exploded everywhere when it came out. (Then again, maybe it's because people just don't bother to look for games after seeing an anime or because there aren't any translations GAH, YOU'RE RAMBLING, STAWP). So I thought, why not? ヾ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

Website:

Alright. So Tiger & Bunny Hero's Day is a visual novel game made by D3 Publisher. In this game, there won't be any silly Hero fights or awkward camera angles like in the first game. Instead, you'll get to live the daily life of each of our TnB characters! ヾ(*´∇`)ﾉ

Now, when you first start the game your only 2 character options are Kotetsu and Barnaby. As you progress further, you'll eventually unlock more characters, but you won't be able to actually play them until you complete Barnaby's or Kotetsu's. Also, let's say you start with Barnaby. You can't plow through all of Barnaby's route without stopping midway through and backtrack to Kotetsu to let his story catch up.

Another cute little side feature is that you can select who'll speak and things haha.This game is also split into "times", which makes sense since you're following 1 day of a Hero.

Ahhh, this game is such a relief to my poor brain. Unlike otome games, everyone speaks, so now I don't have to stare at silent Heroine 500-stroke kanji going (;¬_¬) ... (╯°Д°）╯︵ ┻━━┻ wondering what the flippity-floo she's saying and squinting my eyes trying to read the tiny font in the first place.
(I'm still learning ~(ouo)~ )

**Important: You'll have to go back and choose the other option for a lot of choices so that you can rack up points. Otherwise, you'll just keep getting a bad end towards the end of the game no matter what you choose. I ended Kotetsu's route with 78,110 points (of course there's many options I still missed, but I had enough to pass the game). But running straight through without going back racks up only 32,015. Biiiig difference haha.**

I haven't played this in a while, so I don't exactly remember everything. But regardless, let's begin!

Norn9 -Norn + Nonette- Jumps On the Anime Bandwagon: Cast and Thoughts

brwackfdldjfk

Alright. So. It seems like Norn 9 -Norn + Nonette-, originally a PSP game, has jumped on the anime bandwagon.
