I noticed Scott’s entry about the School Days 12 DVD release and decided to check it out myself. Nothing out of the ordinary though, the erotic makeout scene was more detailed and of course the blood looked like blood rather than black ink.

I think what really did it for me was the sound effects. If you recall in the original episode you just saw the black ink splurging while our favorite song playing in the backround. Here of course all the sound effects were there. This was especially gruesome during Kotonoha’s “there’s no one inside” scene. I also noticed that if you look REEELLLY hard you can see Makoto’s hair and perhaps eyeball in that bag of hers lol. Continue Reading »

In an ongoing attempt to clear our my backlog of all sorts of dating sim games dating back to like 4 months ago, I decided to start by playing Asuka’s route in the GOS game. There’s Rei and Kaworu (for all the yaoi fangirls) too but well I hate Rei, and I’m not into gay, and I frankly would rather see Kaworu and Rei get it on with themselves than with Shinji. Anyhoo the biggest surprise to me was uh…where is Mana? Wasn’t the whole Steel Girlfriend thing supposed to revolve around her? I’m not really sure how this time around the game relates to her in any way. (Or maybe it’s not supposed to, someone enlighten me.)

Let me start out by saying this is the worst dating sim type game I’ve ever played. Not because of the art, not because of the (lack there of) story (or pr0n) but the actual game play itself. I followed this guide, and thank god the person told me where to click because trying to figure out the kanji/locations for all the districts and the geofront rooms maps made my head spin. (Don’t even get me started on the map of the stupid cave.) Continue Reading »

Umm what? Can someone remind me if this was an old chapter in the manga? I have a feeling I remember some sort of an arc about someone who kept stealing faces, but I can’t recall if there was a kyuubi. Either way, it must have happened early on before the Denshi Drug HAL incident was resolved so if this really WAS in the manga what the fuck are the writers thinking putting this in AFTERwards? The arc that I thought this was gonna be was with that erojiji and the little girl - because the guy in it sorta looks like the guy in that arc. I guess I was wrong. Also how come Yako’s school uniform is the only pink one while everyone else’s is the manga color?

I think the biggest WTF moment for me was at the end when Sasazuka said that Yako’s “father incident” had some “new light shed on it” and it involved her mother who’s in another country. WTF?!? I’m afraid to even ask where they’re going with this b/s considering Yako’s dad incident got resolved after like the first 4 chapters On a happier note, I’m reading the weekly shounen jump scans (along with Naruto) so even when the anime ends, I’ll keep covering the manga (but not on a weekly basis. Only when something worth mentioning comes up.)
