Cool, another dark VN from Nitroplus! It looks pretty good yes - as a short experience. Too bad about Petrushka though, haha... having so little screen time. Well, nice to hear that you liked it in any case.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Cute characters (Rika = Best). Lovely music. PS2 art is nice. NVL style is good. A very ominous moment occured not too long ago. Edit: Also, sound effects = incredible. The cry of the Higurashi...

It's sweet, yea. As for Vi's weapons of choice... APPROVED!

Yeeeeep that's right!

And so it ends! [spoiler=EP12]Not exactly a surprising finale, but one that felt good. I had such a big smile on my face during the last minutes of it... Chuunibyou is just a really beautiful anime overall, and that shows to a great extent in this final episode. Preeeetty! That last monologue about eight-grade syndrome was very nice and meaningful. Dekomori without her twin tails and outside her syndrome was pretty cool. Though she's still more awesome as the DES Saavanto equipped with the Mjolnir Hammer. Oh and, Kumin-senpai possessed by the Second Tyrant's Eye? YES PLEASE! Haha, well i

Another!

Dustmania Grotesque (VNDB) (Spoilers are all inside the spoiler box down at the bottom... Wait what?) "Manbo manbo!" Dustmania... Oh boy... Just... It's been a while since I read it. Well, a month or so probably. And this means that my impressions of it won't be very "fresh" per se. But we'll just have to go with it. Why am I writing this you ask? Because some members (iLT, Gerard...!!!) wanted me to, but also because it would indeed be funny to have a Dustmania Grotesque review among all these other proper reviews of amazing VNs with superb stories in them.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. It looks pretty interesting actually, based on the screenshots and what you're saying. Seems to be something that I'd like. And I for one haven't heard of it until now, so thanks for posting this. And yes, it's probably quite a decent game when it comes to immersion. ... But... No time for it right now. There are just so many friggin' games and VNs that needs to be played/read as it is.

Yes, that's just how it goes. Been changing the other ones too sometimes. But in general, it's not ever going to change by a large amount. It'll be something around 5.0-5.5, basically. You can change your mind a little when you start comparing it to other VNs you might have read that has the same sort of rating. Just how it is.

^^... Maybe.

Moero Downhill Night Blaze (VNDB) Opening movie: (Spoilers are all inside the spoiler box down at the bottom.) "But if you go too far, it all becomes so meaningless..." This is going to be a shorter (perhaps... maybe...) "review" than usual from me. Why? Because I'm someone who has less to say about visual novels that weren't particularly good/great/amazing. And it just so happens to be that at the time of me writing this, I've only actually done reviews of *great* VNs around here, so this'll feel a bit different I think. The Moero VNs all have car raci

... ... ... What? Really? I mean, I haven't read it so I wouldn't truly know, but that still sounds crazy. I've never heard anyone else say something along those lines until now. The first part of Princess Waltz is THAT good?

... Damn... it's THAT song again... ... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

Moero Downhill Night Blaze *sigh*... Not as good as I was hoping it to be. The story that is. The main story. Most of the things that happened in this VN just didn't interest me. A few things, sure, but most of it was just not that memorable. Moero 2 was better, enough said. The story in that one was actually pretty fun. But, at least Blaze had some of the characters that I liked from the second one. That was a good thing. It was nice to see them again. Although to be honest, they were better represented in Moero 2... I didn't really mind the racing minigame during the first playthrou

Moero 2 is definitely better and worth the time, so that's good. As for Moero Blaze... ... ... well, I can safely say that the racing is garbage at least. Yes, it is. It was a bit entertaining on the first playthrough, but now it's just a waste of time. So yes, it seems I was correct in my earlier post here. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy. And no, there is no difficulty setting. I can't really comment on the story until I've completed all the routes, although the two that I've done so far has been worse than what Moero 2 delivers for sure. The story in this is just not as interesting or as

Perhaps you already know this now, but for anyone else who might be curious: This is the DRM-free download edition of the game. After you have extracted the .rar files, you simply use Moero_3_Setup.exe to install the game.

Aye, it's always nice to see those effects in VNs. The characters definitely look more alive with them. Mmm, the tension. MLA does that very well indeed. But anyway, yes, you've still got plenty left to go of course. Prepare yourself...

Aye, what the others said. Started reading it yesterday, and... I'm really surprised by how good it was! I'm not much for reading manga myself, but this one was certainly very fun (and ecchi). Still got plenty of pages left to read on Chapter 3 though.

Moero Downhill Night Blaze (It'll be up on ED/EG soon enough. Just need Ivan to login now.) Finally back to some VN reading! From what I've done so far, I can say that it's pretty cool for those of us who have finished the previous titles in the series. The story in Blaze is something of a "what if?" scenario to the story in Moero 2. So having read Moero 2 before going into this one is definitely a plus if you ask me. And well, having read Moero 1 is a plus if you're going to read Moero 2... It's not majorly important, but still. Good to see the characters again, for sure. Kei is awesome

Well, saving often sounds like a good enough solution then I guess. Thankfully it's a really short VN! Happy to hear that you got what you wanted in the end.

Reformatting is reeeeally annoying!... But oh well, at least it fixed the problem I was having. (DPC Latency spikes)

DAMN... [spoiler=EP11]Was that a great episode or what! Really interesting development from start to finish. EMOTIONS! I love it. Plenty of seriousness and sadness for everyone. Poor Dekomori, des. The scene that iLT mentioned was nice indeed. Tears That strangely long moment with the train in the background (15:15 - 15:42) felt very... good and appropriate, actually. Sad to see Touka leave. But hey, the hugs were really sweet and meaningful at least! Well, anyway, very much looking forward to the last episode of Chunnibyou. I'm sure it'll be fantastic, considering everything else so
