Magical Premium! H-Game Review
Ah every once in a while you buy that random game that comes from some random game company you’ve never heard of. Well this was one of those good investments, well depending on what your expecting for around $20 fun bucks “Your mileage may very” to be blunt the game play is well…. not so complex at all.

Flash Back Review: Plastic Little DVD

May 7th, 2009

While Trolling at the local Anime shop I found some interesting early 90’s anime on DVD. So I made some purchases, and one of them was Plastic Little, a movie I always wanted to see but could never find.

Nice Cover

After acquiring it I returned to the dungeon and popped it into the DVD player, the old ADV intro and related run past the screen, then a boom and the menu comes up. Got a few choices to make, ok they are:
-Play movie
-Scene selection
-Language setting
-Extras

I jumped to the Extras and found some trailers, art from production and my favorite the Jiggle Counter. Enabled that fun little feature and headed back to main menu. I started the film, the English track was on before I realized that I forgot to switch it over, but I decided heck let it ride anyway. So I watched a good portion in English and about half way I swapped back to the Japanese sound track. The dub was good, but made no sense, the voice actors all voiced the characters like they were from mother Russia, and Sweden, and it was bad to say the least, but at least it was in Dolby 5.1, where the natural sound track was only 2.0 stereo.

Utawarerumono TV, OVA, and Games

April 11th, 2009

I have recently sat down and Re-Re-Re watched utawarerumono TV in HD, All I can say is wow, I love this show!

She will rock your world!

She will rock your world!

If you have never seen utawarerumono let alone heard of it you’re most likely not alone, but you should go out and buy the DVD or Blu-Ray set. This show makes me laugh, cry, and think deeply, it was a good experience overall. I should note that I played the PC game, and that I am looking forward to the OVA coming out on JUNE 5th in beautiful 1080P. Many fans of game for PC say the TV series was a travesty, and that it did not tell the story correctly. This argument is half correct, but we must look at it from different angles, from the ERO point of view the TV series was lacking, the logical reason for this is simple, in a game you have choices to make and those decisions will change the story and reflect a different angle.

Also LEAF the company behind utawarerumono had to create something that could be played on TV say in a prime time TV slot, so ERO content and nudity were out. It is widely believed that the up and coming OVA is going to help fill those holes maybe literally with that missing content. That said LEAF is basically giving back to its fans with service, doing what they originally did. PRO TIP: utawarerumono was a turn based H game before it was cleaned up and ported to the Ps2 and then became an anime TV series. This OVA will fill in some side stories, give more justice to the PC game and summarize very briefly, like 3 episodes briefly.

Trailers are at the bottom and more information.
