Recommended Posts

Yo, it's been some time since my last review. Hope it won't screw up.

This review is about 11eyes -Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shoujo-, and yes its only partially translated so I read this using chinese patch. I'll try my best not to spoil the story in this review.

Story:After losing his sister seven years ago, Satsuki Kakeru led a vacant life, only able to return to normal with help from his childhood friend Minase Yuka and other friends at school. Suddenly one day the sky turns red, and the moon turns black. Everyone around Kakeru and Yuka disappears and monsters start roaming the streets. They are able to run away and hide and after a while, the world returns to normal. But just when they thought this world was a dream, the Red Night occurs again. Kakeru and Yuka manage to find four other humans involved in this mysterious phenomenon: Kusakabe Misuzu, a red-haired onmyouji swordswoman, Tachibana Kukuri, a strange mute girl who looks like Kakeru's deceased sister, Hirohara Yukiko, a lively young girl who reverts to the personality of a cold killer when her glasses are removed, and Tajima Takahisa, a young pyrokineticist with a heated attitude to boot. They get together and try to survive, but six shadows suddenly appear in front of them.... These six shadows call themselves the "Black Knights," and for an unknown reason wish to kill Kakeru and friends. The teenagers wind up coming across a girl with flowing silver hair wearing a white dress, trapped in a red crystal. Her name is Liselotte. She claims that she is being held captive and asks for their help. The Black Knights prevent them from doing anything and begin referring to Kakeru's friends as "fragments" and to Kakeru as "the bearer of the 'eye of Aeon'." As they go on trying to survive, the six teenagers gradually form bonds and begin to work together in order to defeat the Black Knights, in the hopes that this will end the Red Night once and for all.( Yes this is a direct copy from wikipedia)

 

Main Characters:

Satsuki Kakeru

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-650452406.jpg

 

The main protagonist. After his older sister committed suicide ten years prior to the main storyline, He felt that his life was empty. This was later filled by Yuka and his friends in school. Kakeru had been under the care of Yuka's parents after since his sister's death. He has heterochromia and wears an eyepatch over his right eye, known as the eye of Aeon, which holds what seems to be the power of precognition. It also shows him images of Velad, an ancient King of Drasuvania who also apparently possessed the eye. He is able to use his right eye in battle to predict and counter his opponent's moves.

 

Minase Yuka

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-1254423564.jpg

 

The protagonist's childhood friend. Kakeru had been under the care of Yuka's parents after since his sister's death. Yuka is a shy girl who always follows Kakeru around. She had a long crush towards Kakeru while he is aware of it. Her power is to nullified the powers of others(kind of like Kamijyo Touma from To aru Majutsu no Index).

 

Kusakabe Misuzu

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-1172052473.jpg

 

The first person Kakeru and Yuka met during the red night. Misuzu is the school idol of Kakeru's school and also his senpai. She's a swordsman from the Kusakabe clan and also inherited the full set of demon swords in the clan except for one(which I forgot the name). While she appears to be strong, she was the weakest mind in the group. She is also weak against H stuff and will be very aggressive towards it(while it was revealed she masturbates secretly in one of the H scene, ehehehehehe). My second favourite character.

 

Tachibana Kukuri

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-1815833328.jpg

 

Ahh my favourite onee san. Kukuri is a strange senpai which looked exactly the same as Kakeru's dead sister( and the name too). She lost her voice when she was 13 and therefore uses a sketchbook to communicate(sounds like eucliwood right? And no worries she will get her voice back so in the H scene.......if you know what I mean). She can summon an angel which will attack with chains and also a healer. And by the way her route was the TRUE ROUTE(OHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAA).

 

Hirohara Yukiko

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-231435913.jpg

 

Oh here comes the girl with double personality. When she wears her glasses she's the lively kouhai you've seen in many animes. But when her glasses were off, even Gasai Yuno can't stand her. Her powers is instant regeneration which made her almost immortal.

 

Tajima Takahisa

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-1372181598.jpg

 

The joker in the group. He is a funny guy and somewhat a pervert. And he is also a big eater. He and Misuzu are like fire and water. He often teases Misuzu which leads to a beating , and sexually harasses her too(Misuzu's greatest weak spot). His power is the creating flames by mind.

 

Sub-Characters

Momono Shiori

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-16328643.jpg

The kuudere. Shiori is a magician from the group "Index". She is often seen with a book and she is also a librarian in Kakeru's school. She will be a main heroine in 11eyes -Resona Forma-.

 

Akamine Saeko

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-1348212724.jpg

The school nurse. Nickname "virgin killer"(if you know what I mean). She is currently Takahisa's guardian.

 

Teruya Tadashi

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-2109614748.jpg

Kakeru's best friend. Tadashi is an airhead pervert. Done.

 

Natsuki Kaori

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-1037805927.jpg

Tadashi's childhood friend, and also Yuka's best friend. She often acts tsundere-ish to Tadashi.

 

Lisette Vertorre

http://moe.animecharactersdatabase.com/uploads/chars/5688-769839606.jpg

The key character of 11 eyes. She has double personality(spoiler!!!). Lisette was trapped in a red crystal which the main characters will come across to.

 

Graphics

The CGs for this was quite good. Not much to say.

 

Sound

The BGM for this was quite epic. Most of the music suites the scene. The opening theme for 11 eyes is "Lunatic Tears...".

 

System

attachment.php?attachmentid=9025&d=1367083479

As you can see, 11 eyes use a crossvision system which lets jumps to scenes temporally which you already played. The top were the names of the different characters and the bottom boxes were their perspective at that time, and there are plenty of them which allows a more complete view of the story.

 

The red boxes were accessible boxes and the blue boxes were only accessible when chose a different choice. The system was nice because it lets you understand more about the story.

 

Additional notes: VN vs Anime

The VN version and the anime version both were a little bit different. In the anime Yuka was more of a yandere while in the VN she's more of a deredere. Takahisa was more of a douche bag in the anime while he was friendly in the VN. And yes the story is also slightly different for both of them. So my conclusion is: GTFO ANIME VERSION YOU'RE DRUNK!!!!

 

Overall

This VN was one of the "unforgettable" VNs I played. It's a must try so maybe wait for it to be translated?

 

Recommended for : People who liked thrillers, action , dark stories , drama.

Not recommended for : People who prefer branching plot with multiple endings, a more romantic story.

 

Overall rating : 9/10
