BWS: Bloody Nightmare ~ Mejojo von Garibaldi ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: May 21, 2012
Mejojo von Garibaldi (メヨーヨ フォン ガバルディ)
CV: Sakurai Takahiro (櫻井 孝宏)
Mejojo is freakishly possessive and carries a lot of psychological trauma. I could write essays on why this guy probably acts the way he does, but let’s just say he’s not an average guy. He’s the prince and heir to the throne of the kingdom. He’s known as the serious one of the twins, but he has his crazy moments and a burning burning hatred towards wolves.

Diabolik Lovers ~ Sakama Reiji ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: May 3, 2012
Sakama Reiji (逆巻 レイジ)
CV: Konishi Katsuyuki (小西 克幸)
(PRAISE THE POWERS THAT BE! They actually took a step back from the path this series was going down on and made Reiji so much more lovable. Or maybe I’m just utterly biased towards Konishi’s voice.. Ahh~ but Reiji is such a gentleman that hilariously enough I started to get offended at how much self-control he had. I was actually going “HOW ARE YOU RESISTING THE HEROINE’S MARY SUE POWERS (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮“.
Notes about the translation: His keigo, or way of speech, is bloody hard to translate so just keep in mind that he talks and acts very politely, kind of like a butler! At the beginning he tells the heroine to sit seiza-style, which is why it’s so painful. I translated that part as “kneel” since it sounds weird in English to demand someone to sit seiza-style).
Podcast ~ Sadism in Otome ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: April 28, 2012
I know I know, I should be working on translations or summaries for games, but this was too interesting to pass up (＞人＜;)! My fellow podcaster, Suri from kisscoma, and I have noticed the recent trend of sadistic otome games and the polarized responses from players and fans. Because of this we started discussing the topic of sadism with each other, but 140 words on twitter made it near impossible (plus we were starting to spam the timeline and so we needed to gtfo ;;).
This post will feature the outline of our podcast and the general topic headings of what we touched on. I’m sure we missed a lot of points and since Suri and I held the same view, it might not have been the most optimal discussion (๑￫‿￩๑). So I definitely encourage anyone and everyone to comment below and add to the discussion or give feedback about our first podcast. The only rules are to remain polite and respectful.
Diabolik Lovers ~ Sakama Raito ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: April 12, 2012
Sakama Raito (逆巻 ライト)
CV: Hirakawa Daisuke (平川 大輔)
(From what I heard in his premium corner, I was looking forward to a playful flirt after Kanato but instead what I got was.. well.. this. Raito is insanely abusive. INSANELY. He’s also delusional and even more full of himself than Ayato.. This series is just plummeting into the land of the crazy, especially since this CD is full of dub-con. Reader discretion is advised.
I don’t recommend taking my translation as gospel for what Raito says either, because it’s difficult to get his implications across. Especially the line at 28:40, where he’s talking about how she lives. He’s not saying it in a tone of “the requirement to live here is..” It’s more like he’s pointing out that that’s the way she’s living in their house. Once again implying that she’s a… loose woman).
Mashiroiro Symphony ~ Sena Airi ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: April 1, 2012
Sena Airi (瀬名 愛理)
CV: Ono Ryoko (小野 涼子)
(I’m sorry for not having updated lately, but I’ve realized that I’m tired of otome games. They’re all the same with your tsunyankuudere guys. All those bishies, wall pinnings, vampires, and whatnot are so boring! So then I decided to turn to eroges and OMG THEY’RE SO FUN!! I just finished this route and I’m convinced! From now on this blog will only have eroge reviews!)
This route is all about Airi, the poster girl. She’s a capable rich oujousama, all about being independent and she goes to an all girls school, because she hates all men, at the start of the game. She and Shingo’s sister go to the same school and this leads to her meeting with Shingo!
So you start out as this dude named Shingo and you are going to what was once an all girls school, but it has now newly opened to everybody! Hurray!
Everything in this game is so sugary cute, I’m dying to diabetes already. So I decided to go for da cova gurl first, obviously cause she’s so beautiful she makes my heart doki doki. All dem feelings hit my kokoro like HNNNNNNNNNGh. ♪ﾟ+.ｏ(*萌´д`从´д`萌*)ｏ.+ﾟ♪
Beyond the Future ~ Bad Ends ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: March 17, 2012
This will feature all of Beyond the Future’s bad ends. I’m making a post for it because I’m a completionist and Beyond the Future has a completion percentage as well as CGs for its bad ends щ(ಥДಥщ).
Not that it really matters since apparently the completion percentage counts every single line you’ve seen, even the ones that aren’t listed down as a “scene”. So I’ve completed all the scenes, yet I’m not technically completed because of these missing lines. But I give up since it’ll just piss me off to try and collect them. I can’t believe I’m at 91.17%.
Also, my bb Suri-chan was lovely enough to summarize the official short stories that can be found on Beyond the Future’s website. You can find her translations HERE.
Beyond the Future ~ Camus Tetra Porte ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: March 15, 2012
Camus Tetra Porte (カミュ テトラ ポルテ)
CV: Suzuki Yuuto (鈴木 裕斗)
Camus is Lilith’s childhood friend and the two of them have a very strong bond, because Camus has been with her since the time she was a small baby in Dodona. For Camus, Lilith is the first person to treat him as if he were someone important and needed since as a baby she wouldn’t let go of him and cried whenever he tried to leave. Optimistic and mischievous, he’s very protective of Lilith.
Finally the last route! This long and painful journey has finally ended ヾ(*´∀｀*)/!! Although I will still need to summarize the bad ends, but they should be faster than the routes at the very least.
Diabolik Lovers ~ Sakama Kanato ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: March 4, 2012
Sakama Kanato (逆巻 カナト)
CV: Kaji Yuuki (梶 裕貴)
(Here’s Kanato.. the psychotically insane screaming satanic demon baby Σ(＾∀＾;).. while I loved Kaji Yuuki’s voice and range in the CD, I absolutely loathe Kanato’s character. I wish I could have set his teddy bear on fire and kicked it out a window.
Also, I’m sorry for the lower quality of this translation but his long monologues were really difficult to understand Orz. His way of speaking is really difficult to get across as well, it’s like sarcastically polite).
Beyond the Future ~ Soo Majiku ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: March 1, 2012
Soo Majiku (ソー 真軸)
CV: Yoshino Hiroyuki (吉野 裕行)
Soo is a.. ridiculously idiotic character. Everyone else in the world and party calls him that and he even calls himself that. However, a more correct term for him would be an idiot savant. He thinks of himself as a jack of all trades, because he’s proficient at everything but he doesn’t need to expend any effort into it. He’s very kind though in a brotherly way.
Let’s see if I can make this the quickest summary yet and to try and use just one line for every major plot point.
Beyond the Future ~ Nayuta Roen ~
Posted by: Ilinox on: February 19, 2012
Nayuta Roen (ナユタ ローエン)
CV: Fujiwara Yuuki (藤原 祐規)
Nayuta is the captain of the Holy Knights of Ingrid which makes him quite strict and harsh to everyone, including himself, as well as being very religious. However, underneath his seemingly cold exterior is a very passionate and kind man inside. He can be a bit of a bully towards Lilith, but he respects her as the Saint. The two of them find common ground in the fact that they’re both faithful to their gods.
An even more speedier summary of the whole game is coming up, since if people have been following my posts on this game up to now I’m betting they’re really tired of reading the same scenes again and again (/ω＼). Here’s to saving the world for the fourth time!
What’s Going On?
