Song Comments:
So here's the replacement for Wandering Ghosts... yeah. This one is infectually catchy, and yesterday, I couldn't stop humming it to myself whenever no one was listening. It works better in the game, but whatever. I think it's also quite fitting for #069 ... yeah ... nevermind, forget that I said that.
Game Comments:
Well, I'm only halfway thorugh this game as of writing this, but so far, I'm in love. The visual novel is surprisingly well-written and less corny than I expected (I'm 24 now and the days when I enjoyed anime like Sister Princess are long past). Japanese stories (at least the good ones) know how to be funny at times, touching at others and wrap it into a consistent package, and this one does it quite well. Not exceptionally well, but it's still a great game. The battles seem brutal at first, but with checkpoints and the ability to skip nimations, it's not too frustrating to lose against a boss.
