It makes me so sad to see this is in last place in my poll. It’s such a good drama!! Oh and I also discovered the Narumi’s actor is the son of the former Japanese prime minister, Koizumi O_O! It really gives you the feel for what it’s like to be entry level in the workplace and have everyone treat you like an ass and expect you to know everything right off the bat. As much a I like Proposal Daisakusen, I have to admit I enjoy watching this more simply because it’s not “photo of the week” like Proposal is and so you don’t expect things to happen like you would with that drama. Anyway so it turns out, Aiko’s dad went off to try to meet Seiji’s parents…but Seiji lied and then said that they’re off in a foreign country. This made him come back and get yelled at by Aiko.

So I ventured into the world of eroge and decided to try playing Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni. Unfortunately I did not get beyond day 2 of the game because of various problems that I guess wouldn’t be problems if you were a Japanese Otaku male. I thought it would be interesting cause I could see the guy’s face in some pics, and it was made by the Otoboku team so maybe it would be funny in some way. Unfortunately because of all the high tech vocabulary (something regarding him joining a shooting game team in order to train to kill people who shot his sister or something?) and the LACK OF VOICES FOR EVERY MALE CHARACTER this game quickly became tedious and difficult to understand for me. I don’t mind when the male lead has monologues but this guy had so much I got so sick of reading everything he said.

Also being an art guru, seeing some of the CGs look so messed up (like oddly shaped hands) really annoyed me like…hey you know even MY hands look better drawn than yours do, and you’re making money off this shit! Well anyway even if I did end up plowing through this, I may not have understood the actual story anyway. The fact that half the character don’t have voices makes things 20 times harder for the kanji impaired.

Lesson learned is, from now on I only play games that have an anime series coming out for them (or had one come out for them) so at least I have something to “motivate” me to play it. That or avoid games where they discriminate against male characters. With that in mind, I wish someone would freaking finish seeding Nanatsuiro Drops. I’m at 99.5% for like 2 days already!!
