This is a Review of Kamidori Alchemy Meister
Well , the reason of which you would play this Visual Novel is not for the plot - which is somewhat substandard - but
the gameplay.
It's like playing those old-school RPG which is brimming full of content - you can't stop playing because you WANT to
unlock every single thing hidden in this game and it's not just for the CGs but also to unlock new characters for your
party and hone them to have the very best stats as offered in the game.
Strangely enough , this Visual Novel offers better qualities as a RPG than a Visual Novel so if your looking for
something better than Utawarerumono or Tears to Tiara in terms of the RPG element - this is your cake.
As for the storyline however... well , it's simply above-average.

This is a Review of Time of Eve
A surprisingly good Anime with tons of potential - but lacking the episodes to bring forth that potential in
question.
It is a disappointingly short Anime and the story feels as it abruptly ends with an empty conclusion.
It's beautiful and relaxing to watch but the rushed plot and abrupt ending is one of the major elements which had
butchered the overall value of this Anime.
The audience wants more - they desire to know what would happen next , what would happen between the protagonist and his
Android and whether the tell-tale signs of romance would bloom - but snap , the Anime ends before you know it.

This is a Review of Majikoi! ( Visual Novel )
Another re-review in my pursuit for perfection... *cough*
Majide Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! is a Visual Novel with light plot elements so the player wouldn't need to struggle to
keep up with anything too complex to understand but it does feature a large cast of vibrant , happy , funny and
memorable characters which is pretty much the selling point of this Visual Novel.
It does not quite feature quite as much drama as other Visual Novels - nor does it have any form of suspense and I can't
really say it's particularly romantic - but I can say that you'd love this game for it's characters and the bond that
they share.

Quote by z827 I've heard that the new Ghostrider was pretty boring so I didn't bother watching it.
As for the Spider-Man films... meh , their messed up. I want a Spidey whom makes plenty of punchlines whilst web slinging across the baddies - the Movie version seems to be a little too "complicated" as a whole.
Not to mention the original Spidey tends to ask the other heroes for help - like Iron Man or the Fantastic Four.As for Hugh Jackman... HELL YEAH! Funny how his the most concrete character in the entire film and how the other X-Men seems to be practically transparent in comparison.
Hopefully there would be a Live Action Film which could actually be LOYAL to what Deadpool really is. A cranky nuthead whom enjoys making cold jokes whilst swinging his blades around , shooting his submachineguns whilst yelling "Bang Bang Bang!" and tossing grenades all over the place.Indeed , Hollywood have a great pile of mess to clean up. They ought not to touch Anime until they've cleaned up their crap.
I couldn't imagine what would happen to my brains if they ever made a Live Film on Clannad or perhaps Gundam or something...
Then again , Gundam already have a Live Film - I Saviour
the first ghostrider wasn't all that great, I just liked how he ghosted out :O I'm easily amused and entertained what can I say. I found Venom to being one of the better ones, but it was still, boring to me, dull, pointless, there's just no better way to explain spiderman. it would be so cool if they did a super hero collection movie, instead of the constant separation and some of them being a snooze fest.
I find hugh jackman to be a pretty good actor, I've seen pretty much all of his movies, a highly diverse actor and he always does a good job in his acting. they had more of deadpool but they decided to edit it out again :( but instead they gave him a tiny little roll and more of a bad guy thing and that was it. the deleted scenes were very good.
I've encountered the live action gundam and it was manageable, and don't give hollywood any ideas ! they very thought of them doing a gundam film is sickening :| we'll probably see it coming soon :O they be stalking and watching us ! ;)

Of what? Oh and thank you! ^^ I like yours too
Quote by z827 Nay , their not doing ALL the comic book films right.
Batman was alright but Spider-man gets a bit effed up after a while ( How is Carnage supposed to appear if Venom dies early? ) and the Ghost Rider films were kinda meh.
I've also disliked X-Men the moment they featured that mouth-less Deadpool whom have everyone's abilities - kinda killed my expectations when I heard Deadpool was in the film.
I liked the ghostrider one and I want to see the second one, but spider-man was pretty much fail, but the cartoon version wasn't that much better ;) as for batman, they need to stop rekindling and give us a real story, repeats, repeats. superman was decent the second go around, it was better the first. ironman was more than I expected as was the green lantern, something was lost for me for the green hornet. so many things they could do and still they want to rekindle and destroy anime, shame on hollywood ! yeah the whole entire x-men thing was a total let down, hugh jackman is about the only thing that has going for it, because they have literally destroyed the whole entire idea AND concept. and deadpool was so powerful and look at what they did, a kid wielding a sword and can slice through bullets, lame. with over 300 x-men people they can still break it down and try not to destroy it any further, but something tells me they will continue to do so. look at what they did in first class :( going from cartoon to live action I lost some love for x-men that day at least the cartoon was nice enough to follow the comic somewhat, the movie ran somewhere into totally left field and then beyond that.
Quote by z827 Lulz , that's why I don't watch English films these days - well , most of them.
Why the f*ck are they touching Anime anyway? I'm already disturbed by what Japan is doing to the Anime adaptations ( For example , Gundam Unicorn's Episode 4 was supposed to be a lot better than that , Freezing was messed up , Highschool DxD was more fanservice than plot despite the Light Novels' content , Break Blade was kinda dry compared to the Manga and stuff like that ) and now we have Hollywood trying to make horrible films with the Anime's name and concept.All hail the originals I suppose.
I can stream films so I tend to stream just about anything I can get my hands on, in the hopes it's going to be good, more often than not what captures my attention normally is, but then comes the classics ! when film was still good and they didn't feel the need to put in partial nudity, drug use and profanity into almost every scene. I can understand if they could do live action good, I have seen a lot of live action, I mean Gantz was great and I'm waiting for the second movie yay for locations >.< but as for hollywood, it's not like they can't get any ideas, I'm like read a book already there's your idea leave live action to the proper people. minus doing the marvel and dc comics that's permitted because they do it right, they aren't doing anime right at all :/ they did astroboy BUT that was cgi still not technically live action so it survived, I would watch it again it wasn't all that bad, but others...wow and more failure to come along I just sense it. :(
Quote by z827 Lulz , your definitely not made for Visual Novels then - at least - the typical ones.
As for the Hollywood Live Action film for Death Note - yeah , I've read about it.
That was the moment when I felt like pulling off a Yagami Light and "pull off the train scene" on one of their development crews.
Hollywood , leave Anime alone!
well my major problem is attention span, when that is brought into effect, oh oh gotta love the easily distraction. I can be just going about and bam there goes my mind over to something else :O also procrastination a pain :P hollywood scared me with dragonball and they disturb me what they want to do with Akira and it's getting worse. they want to mass produce so much stuff that they aren't caring what they are doing and how they are doing it. let alone they don't care about the plot and acting. I'm seeing so much stuff these days, american, that has no plot and the acting is horrible. I am turning even further towards foreign films, probably local films to you :O
Quote by z827 Spice and Wolf was bad? :X
Please tell me your joking. =.=
It's like Clannad - where there isn't a heavy plot nor concept but it mainly features the bonds between people and in this case - two lovers.Still , some Live Action films weren't that bad - like Death Note - but then again , it isn't Hollywood. XD
nope I'm not joking, I've tried so many times to try to pick the anime up and each and every time it's turned to being dropped. I have read the outcome, but my mind doesn't maintain things well so I sort of can't remember the ending, so I'll try again and another failed attempt :( I didn't really care for Clannad much either. I'm not a fan of romance, there's just something about those things that don't interest me none. just a strange person.
oh wait for it ! there's a death note live action hollywood coming soon ! I kid you not :O but I find japanese and some other countries do great live action, but hollywood just does something that makes it all come out wrong. heck I bet even bollywood could do a better job than hollywood :/
Quote by z827 Well , there is a group attempting to translate the Spice and Wolf Visual Novel ( Which is for the 3DS ) and whilst not a Visual Novel , the LovePlus patch was also completed - the cliche is , their supposed to be used alongside emulators.
The problem is - I don't really think it's likely that any fan translation group could manage to translate White Album.... pfft , even the original White Album and White Album 2 were ignored.HOW COULD THEY IGNORE SUCH A VISUAL NOVEL!?
didn't really care for spice and wolf anything. sure they went with the wolf theme, an animal, but there was just too lacking of a plot and no matter the version I tried to watch it was just horrible, funimation dubbing being the worse. I didn't even bother with the vn, if I don't like the anime why bother ;) maybe it was ignored because there was too much of what the dubbing people considered to be bad? disturbing? or they just couldn't get a hold of it from the original people. that's how it is with some creators they cling and won't let it go. like the new live action bleach, I'm still trying to figure out how it's going to be done since the creator stated there won't be a live action. this is going to be interesting. they put Akira on hold and went with bleach. since they were slaughtering Akira they can can it completely in my opinion. hollywood should leave live action alone, they got a grade lower than the worst failing grade !
Quote by z827 Well , we can hope - Aksys did take on the project for Hakuoki ( An Otome game for the PSP - which was made by IDEA FACTORY , a really good company if your looking for Otome games or something soft and fluffy ) so I guess if things does turn out well - it may mean the beginning of more VN translations.
Hopefully they'd start on White Album for the PS3... I really wanna play through that game but I don't think I'd enjoy the idea of playing an excellent game whilst only understanding a gist of what's going on.Anyways , hopefully you can review some VNs soon - it's kinda boring to have only a few VN reviewers around the site :X
that's my problem with playing a game that isn't translated, I can figure out some japanese but in kanji form I'm highly clueless, the symbols aren't registering in my little mind, whereas some of the words are doing pretty good, I like to see words a lot, I'm strange that way. I only have a ds, so there goes a lot of ideas, someday I'll work on completing okamiden, I also have bleach for the ds, but I get sidetracked or procrastinate or something and I just don't complete them. someday I suppose :/ I wish they would translate and I could find VN on a ds that would so rule ! thanks to not seeing the point to upgrading to a ds 3d due to it hurting my eyes and making me feel sick at my tummy, I have a feeling my gaming revolution might be coming to an end. oh well at least I can stream anime now ;)
Quote by z827 Well , Sound and Art would be really easy with Anime / Games / Visual Novels with prominent art and music - but it may prove annoyingly difficult with stuff that have average content.
Still , Artwork and Sound is easier to review with Visual Novels... or at least , that's how I think :PFortunately , in my area , there are some people whom knows and even played VNs - but they've only tried one or two VNs :P
Reckon I've played the most to be honest :X
Man , I've said so before but - VISUAL NOVELS SHOULD BE GLOBAL!
can't argue with that statement, because we all know that most VN have sound and artwork, some stuff has outstanding artwork, but something like dead leaves, it has pretty much...nothing. could be why it was so short ! I still prefer reviews for the longer things, series is the best. the day I ever complete a game/VN I'd do a review for that, but since I have only finished about five games total in my life, seems sort of awkward to do a review to something that I have no clue how it ends.
I wish VN would go global, just slap on some labels as to what age group should play them here in the states and import them. my goodness if congress played one or two to prove they aren't all tentacle they might allow them in? my government is so strange :/ around here LARP, live action role play, dungeons and dragons and other things along that nature is more popular than VN. I talk to some people and they're like, huh. goes to show they aren't true fans of another culture, just what they see on tv :(
