The game will have characters designed by artist Na-Ga, and a surprise return storyline by senior writer Maeda Jun (Little Busters!, etc.).

Fans have immediately noticed something strangely familiar about the design of the main female character:

    Oh ya, there was also Planetarian, that wasn't ero either. But it was pretty short compared to their other games, so I don't really think it counts.... More

  • GHS commented on June 1, 2009 14:22

    Anime, eh. Heh, too bad, I was hoping it'd be another game along with Rewrite. Well I guess this is good too. And hey, maybe Key will make it into a game down the road.... More

Sengoku Basara: Two for the Price of One

sengoku-basara-anime-of-mystery.jpg

Sengoku jidai anime Sengoku Basara recently aired, and observers soon noticed some very strange differences between two of the broadcast versions.

Rather than the usual censorship differences, it appears for some inscrutable reason broadcasters CBC and TBS have each acquired their own not so subtly different version of the anime…

2ch provides a detailed comparison below.

atelier-rorona-2d-vs-3d-2.jpg

The eleventh game in the Atelier series of alchemy/crafting/cooking RPGs, ロロナのアトリエ / Rorona no Atelier, set to be a PS3 “exclusive”, has attracted note for the gorgeous 2D and 3D art on display, but also for the rather amusing differences between the 2D and 3D characters: somewhere along the way they have been reduced in age by ten years or so…

Ginta

This rather spectacular image is by not terribly well known illustrator ぎん太 / Ginta, who has a number of similarly appealing images to his credit; the above image seems strangely familiar, but appears to be original…

Alicia Breast Inflation

valkyria-chronicles-anime-vs-ps3-2.jpg

Martial anime Valkyria Chronicles appears to be pursuing a policy of oppai enlargement in its character design, with several characters receiving augmentation, not least of all Alicia, above.

Whether this is a good liberty to take or not is a matter of personal preference, but most will agree that the actual anime screens coming to light so far (below) seem to hint at Asread-like levels of quality:

code-geass-r2-dvd-vs-tv-episode-18.jpg

The DVD version of Code Geass R2 episode 18 (volume 7) has been roundly hailed by fans as an exemplary case of a DVD release being done right – the episode brings the animation quality up to a uniformly high level, where previously some doubts were in evidence amongst fans as to the quality.

The comparison above, courtesy of 2ch, shows the changes in excruciating detail.

Star Ocean 4: English Version Dumps Anime for CG

sob1-thumb.jpg
sob2-thumb.jpg

It seems Japanese RPG publishers are convinced the western gamer will never have any truck with funny Chinese cartoons, for we hear that upcoming oppai RPG Star Ocean 4 will be stripping out plenty of its anime visuals in favour of Final Fantasy-esque computer graphics, which when combined with the completely English dub will help spare the American consumer the distaste of having to deal with anything too foreign.
