That International Life and Friends

My first semester overseas as an international student has come to its end a few days ago, but it did not really sink in until all my friends flew, or are now, flying off. Some are coming back next year, and some are not.
Then I had the time to ponder how ‘fate’ is such a [...]

Garnet Cradle Review : Sariya ♥

Otome games, I think should have great guys, fabulous graphics, excellent voice actors, storyline that doesn’t make me want to hurl the laptop out the window (only to retrieve sheepishly later), and most importantly, a combination of all the aforemention that will make me still think about the game and its guys even after the [...]

Forevermore

So basically I’m in this super-happy mood right now listening to a certain song on loop over and over again, and I was inspired to write a poem as I was listening to the song.

Thanks Garnet Cradle and Shinnosuke Tachibana’s singing for being my inspiration *laughs*
Here’s the poem!

Garnet Cradle Review : Sakurazawa Kiichirou

Even though Daisuke Hirakawa doesn’t play an older brother this time around, I still kept getting Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo flashbacks from his route.
In here, there was this line that was EXACTLY like what Onii-chan in Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo said, in which he told the heroine that she should have a well-balanced [...]

Garnet Cradle Review : Sairenji Rihito

Well.
The only thing i have to say about Sairenji Rihito’s route is – well, I pretty much get the storyline now, having gone through it three times.

Okay over let’s move on to Sakurazawa Kiichirou in the next post.
. . .
As you can see, I have this huge prejudice towards Rihito now thanks to his role [...]

Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side 3rd Story

I’ve been hugging this news to myself for about twenty-four hours, but only after euphoria has passed slightly I remembered to post about it whilst in the midst of my Garnet Cradle marathon as well.
Brace yourself for 2010, TMGS fangirls, for a new prince and a whole new touchy-feely (in the literal sense) is about [...]

Garnet Cradle Review : Shirato Sou

I just completely realized that I have been blogging pretty much every day now thanks to the fact that my exam has ended and I’m basically just sitting around waiting to pick up my assignments plus go home to my PS2.
I love bumming around, reading thick-set fantasy novels (the Liveship Traders trilogy  by Robin Hobb) [...]

Garnet Cradle Review : Teshigawara Touya

Why do I get the feeling I’m rambling to myself even more nowadays? Blogging is like a form of talking to myself.
Hmm, do I ramble too much?
Anyway, back to the game de la moment, Garnet Cradle.

I’ve finished Touya’s route about two days ago, and Sou-chan’s route yesterday – shall attempt Rihito-senpai tonight, but first, Touya’s [...]

Garnet Cradle Review : Prologue and Chapter 1

And I thought Hiiro no Kakera was confusing.
Clearly, I haven’t played Garnet Cradle yet (which I hadn’t, by the way, when I was playing Hiiro no Kakera, considering Garnet Cradle wasn’t even formed yet)
Garnet Cradle isn’t just any visual novel.
It’s THE epic visual novel. In fact it’s so epic I spent 10 hours straight staring [...]

Standards and Snobbery

Allow me a certain moment of fangirlism over the art of two upcoming games which is that of Bloody Call and 誰にでも裏がある-true or lie? (roughly translated to  Everybody Has a Dark Side – true or lie?) before I lapse into the topic of the day, weaving it seamlessly with the art of said two games.
I [...]
