Don't make it sound like you would be surprised lol.

You've to be more open my friend. There's worse stuff than Yaoi...believe me... On a serious note, I don't like love anime feat. a Yaoi couple either but I'd watch other stuff if it's good. Yeah, who wants to see the daily work at a port?

S-Shut up! There is a steady progress, just accept it! >. Man, I really want to play that game...

I don't watch anime anymore but back then I used some sites with amazing 720p megaupload links.

Steady progress? WOOOOOOOOO~ \o/

I actually can understand your point of view, comedy without any story is pretty senseless. I do enjoy such stuff from time to time but I wasn't even able to play two routes in a row when we're talking about Osadai, a funny visual novels (I know that this thread is about anime) without any real plot lol.

Really? That's blasphemy!!! Also, most visual novels have a rather high amount of comedy so can you even enjoy slice of life stuff?

I like.

Jesus Christ. Learn to use a spoiler Yachi >.

You can always use a savegame for skipping the minigame though.

I'm not very good with Mecha stuff eiter. So let's turn this into a mecha hate thread!!! \o/

REST HARD!!! \o/

I'll just do what I did last year, not watching any new anime that is.

No and I won't play it in the near future. I'm currently way too busy with other visual novels.

Not sure about other games but Empire Total War doesn't care about the offline mode at all. You simply have to be online.

This review doesn't contain any spoilers, so feel free to read. http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/title_zpsfkkqi5hw.jpg Description Art Just one word, glorious. You don't believe me? Then please take a look at the character sprites and especially at the clothes. What's up with that insane amount of little details? And even the backgrounds are more than well done. I mean holy crap, who was drawing that stuff? That probably took longer than writing the whole story lol. Anyway, I adore the art of this game and it's actually the best art I've ever seen. There was one weird looking CG though but I can't remember it anymore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Music And again high quality stuff from heaven. Each track perfectly fits the current atmosphere and improves it around 1259713256128586,1%. Although most of them are calm or sad so don't expect any awesome battle tracks. There was one great battle theme (iirc) but you won't hear it very often which's obviously a shame. Oh and don't forget dat epic ending song. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Voices feat. Fullvoice ReBORN Please be sure to play the remake because the normal version, so the one I played, was only partially voiced. And seriously, that's bullshit. Also, that newer version has more CGs and other stuff. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Characters There's a shitload of characters in this game but here are the most important ones, at least in my opinion. http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/Mary_Clarissa_Christie_zpsffd2obkx.jpg Kitty Mary's the female protagonist of the visual novel and my inofficial second waifu. She's kind, cute, honest, intelligent, has heterochromia and tries to solve problems on her own. I can't remember that she had a significant personality development but whatever. So Mary-chan, do you love me? http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/secret_zpspb0mfjzi.jpg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/Charlotte_Bronte_zps4b8nyfna.jpg Charlotte is Mary's best friend since childhood and behaves like an older sister. I actually can't say anything about her because of spoiler reasons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/Angelica_Derleth_zpssujl5akp.jpg She's Mary's second best friend since...someday. Angelica's personality is a combination of tsundere and a careful person. I didn't even know that something like this works but what the heck. She doesn't play a big role in the game but her conversations are cute and fun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/The_M_zpsbcncbgjt.jpg The Masochist is something like the main villian of the game but he's not as bad as he seems to be. Let's say he's a man who knows what he wants and doesn't care how he reaches his goal. He was definitely the most interesting character of the whole game and never stopped to surprise me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/Sebastian_Moran_zps7u4qrzf8.jpg Moran is the personal guard of M and at the end pretty awesome. In most parts of the game she's just a simple guard though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Story The story has many chapters and each of them deals with a different problem and different main characters. It's not very surprising that some chapters are inferior to others but none of them was really bad. The problem, the game will become a little bit boring because you want to know more about Mary's problem. Her story starts in chapter 1 and will be continued in chapter 9, or something like this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Minigame http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/Shikko_zpsf7s1hkr3.jpg Honestly, the minigame was shit. It's fun the first time and it's fun the second time but you'll grow tired of it pretty fast. I personally downloaded a savegame so that I was able to skip the minigame. You basically have to find stuff which's hidden in each level. There are of course monsters which can kill you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Score Honestly, I was a little bit doubtful after playing Sekien no Inganock because I didn't like that game at all but Shikkoku no Sharnoth was way better. Great art and music, a mostly dark and sad story and a lot of magic feat. an awesome protagonist. The story was all in all pretty interesting but the ending, oh man, it seems that Liar-soft loves weird endings. It was not as complicated as Sekien's but still hard to get. Oh and the battles are shitty. Anyway, check this game out if you're looking for a visual novel with a lot of magic and superior atmosphere. And now go and download the Fullvoice ReBORN of this game! http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc486/OneManArmy369/yesmaster_zpslnlohk9a.jpg 7,8/10

The real problem is that I can't choose if I want to use Steam or not even if I buy the game in a normal shop. And seriously, Steam is awesome if you've a fast internet.

Well, it has its moments but it's overall pretty mediocre.
