okay, dumb reactions to the Trick or Alice demo i'm surprised you haven't made any gifs of the opening yet
omg the spirites movingg
Cheshire go put some clothes on-wait how do you put all of that on in a short time?
Chronos is an assbutt
ASSBUTT
sassy elizabeth
AW SHIT MOTHERFUCKER and my sis was right behind me
Cheshire PLEASE (they do know how to end the demo in a cliffhanger)
Ohohoho, no wonder the art looks so familiar! Wow, she really leveled up! What do you do if the site doesn't allowed international shipping? 3rd party?
Wow, you already got the new issue of B's Log?
rofl, 60-years old twins omg it would be great to hear him voicing twin girls causes the men to become troubled due to their intense love yandere sense is tingling
But Dousei Kareshi seems such a ripoff with one guy per disc (︶︹︺) They changed ages?
I think Hänsel, Gretel, Heidi, Ande, Ælling, and Melisus aren't capturable (and Dorian Gray, Alfani, Manboy will have a brothel ending?)
The OP is being sung by Toriumi Kousuke, Midorikawa Hikaru, and Takashi Kondou and the ED is being sung by Midorin
Gosh, Dialovers being more extreme? What rating will it be? Cero C? D?
Eh, conclusion of the Alice series (but they got rid of the old characters and add in new?) ;_; Quinrose's finally going to stop milking it. It seems sad that most of the characters won't remember who she is.
Koezaru ha Akai Hana is Operetta first game, right? The setting sounds...quite extreme (；￣Д￣） but ooh SASSY STRONG HEROINE ヾ(＠^∇^＠)ノ Take down their hearts, Eri!
The interface in Trick or Alice looks so cute. lol somebody nicknamed Kisaragi as NOT KISE. Are there H-scenes in the demo? SHADOW!!! EVERYONE IS ACTUALLY A YANDERE..maybe. Chrono sounds like the rapist character tbh. Since the theme is Alice in Wonderland, they probably all have a facade.
Actually, there are plenty of funny moments. In CT (Calamity Trigger), the alternate future endings are basically joke endings. In CS (Continuum Shift), they took it up a notch with gag reels (not canon). The true ending in CT is what broke the timeloop (Noel saving Ranga which prevents the Black Beast from forming), CS is the story of the aftermath (hence the title Continuum Shift, heh)
Hmm, CT haven't explained it but somehow Ranga and Nu fuse together in the cauldron? I just finished Ranga's story in CT and WOW there is more plot dump than in CT (in CT, you have to pierce the story together on your own). Yeah, I think his soul is gone when he's the Black Beast. I haven't play Jin's story in CS yet to know if he's aware of the timeloop but he knows that Ranga is the Black Beast. Jin is the established rival character in the franchise (Ranga is the MC, Noel is the main heroine). Saya is probably a puppet of Hazama.
Jin: His hobby is collecting vintage motorcycles. The main reason why he's favorite is because of his ICE CAR move. I love spamming it and his all of his moves are so flashy (ICE CAR is also a meme too). Aaah, Jin is a tragic character but I'll explain that once I'm done with his story (Jin loves Saya as much as Ranga in the original timeline and there are other factors to his insanity). I also like Jin because he reminds me of Koon from Tower of God (cold, elegant, soft spot for his friends).
Noel- Her hobbies are shopping via the internet (so she doesn't have to meet people) and writing poems (never shows them to anyone). Running gag is her lack of boobs (some people thought she's a boy). She's so pretty and I find her shrinking violet personality cute (so precious) Besides Jin, I love using her in battles.
Rachel- Running gag is that most people called her "Rabbit". In CS gag reel, Rachel made Ranga wear the Spectacles of Eros, which cause all of the female characters to fall in love with him (including Carl's puppet and JIN). Rachel is tricky to use in battle. My second favorite female in the cast, I like her prideful attitude. She gave her observer status (and most of her power) to help break the timeloop. Ranga and Rachel are very tsun to each other.
Taokaka- Actually, everything is a comedy in Tao's route because she's the most innocent one (only cares about food). The main thing is that she's very ignorant of her surroundings and doesn't know that her clan is just clones made from Jubei's DNA (but the Kaka clan are so adorable asdbh adorable kitties). Hmm, I don't feel like she contribute much to the story but she's so cute though!! She is actually holding a fish in her sleeves lol
Carl- Very emotional unstable and he's only a kid. His dad turns his sister and wife into puppet weapons. He may be a cute blond shota but goodness, I find him very annoying (always picking on fight with others)
Litchi- Probably the most normal character in the cast but alas nope. She has a major guilt complex for not saving Arakune and in CS, she joined the NOL in desperation when Arakune got captured. Arakune turned normal once just to warn that she is slowly becoming corrupted just like him. Aah, I'm conflicted which to ship: Arakune/Litchi or Bang/Litchi?? Makes me sad that most people think of her as the fanservice character becaus she has the biggest chest
Arakune- Because his experiment backfired, he is now virtually insane and his dialogue is just gibberish. In an alternate ending in CT, Noel thought he was a bug and shot him multiple times and then dumped him in the trash. Personally, I'm neutral to him but his fighting style is cool
Iron Tager- He's very mature but his issue is that he's conflicted with his own intuitions and his faith in Kokonoe . Slow but powerful. There was an ending when Kokonoe turned him into Golden Tager (like a mecha). "GIGANTIC TAGER!" is a censor word for *****
Bang- One of the most popular character in the series but in-game, the cast looked down on him because of his fiery spirit ;_; THE HERO OF LOVE AND JUSTICE WITH A HEART OF GOLD and has a no-kill policy (Hakumen is the only one who respects Bang , quite the opposite of Jin). lol his hobby is thinking of names for his special moves. Bang is so dorky and funny, it's too bad that the cast doesn't really respect him because he's too loud and smelly
Bang running away after setting the place on fire
Nu- I'm not sure how she merge with Ranga. After Calamity Trigger true ending, she died after failing to fuse with Ragna (BUT she lives on as Lambda in Continuum Shift with amnesia). I really like Nu, most of her route was about struggling to find someone to be with her (hence her obsession with Ragna because she remember him from Saya's memories). She also has the most sexual innuendo in Blazblue
Fun fact: The announcer always said "The wheels of fate are turning, rebel 1, action!" before every battle. The wheels of fate is referring to the timeloop and the battles are not scheduled to happen by the laws of the time continuum, these battles are henceforth known as Rebels
There's more background story in the light novels and drama cds (Story of Bloodedge, Hazama was close to someone, and the timeline with no Noel)
Dark War aka First War of Magic: 100 years before Blazblue: Calamity Trigger begin, the Black Beast annihilate half of mankind. During an one year calm, the Six Heroes taught humanity how to wield magic and science together called Armagus and destroy the Black Beast.
However the remains of the Black Beast (called Seithr) spread all over the world and became the basic source of all Armagus.
-Formation of the NOL (world government/police force)
Second War of Magic: The NOL became a dictatorship and the Ikaruga Federation rebelled.
Timeloop:
Ragna gets defeated by Nu. They fall into The Cauldron, a device that distorts time. When Nu and Ragna fall into The Cauldron together, they fuse to become the Black Beast and appear 100 years in the past. Jin jumps in after them. This is where the time loop begins, where Ragna becomes the Black Beast, and Jin becomes Hakumen.
The loop will continue time and time again, despite Kokonoe and Rachel's actions to alter it.
Nu killing Ranga so they can become one
Characters:
Ragna the Bloodedge: He lived with his younger siblings, Jin and Saya, in a church until one day he finds it set on ablaze. Jin, who hates Saya and is constantly jealous of the attention that Saya received from Ranga, was presumed to have burn down the church, killed Saya, and cut off Ranga's arm. Ragna was left for dead until Rachel saved him by turning him into a vampire. Later, Ragna is trained by Jubei (who is called the strongest being in the world and is one of the Six Heroes) and acquired the Azure Grimoire(serves as Ragna's right arm but actually absorbs life from other people). He gains the highest bounty in the NOL for destroying NOL branches (to destroy incomplete Saya Replicas) Ranga's wanted poster
Jin Kisaragi: Adopted by the prestigious Kisaragi family. Usually cool and calm, but treat others like obstacles and is very jealous and possessive of Ranga. He despise Noel because her face resembles Saya. Jin is known as "The Hero of Ikaruga" by killing Lord Tenjo (Bang's master) and putting the end of the war however it is implied that war might have been a setup from the NOL which drastically changed Jin's personality from cold to insanity. His ice sword is a Nox Nyctores ( a set of 10 powerful weapons but cause mental burden on the user) is also a factor for his insanity. Jin was promoted as the youngest Major in the NOL. When he heard that Ranga is coming, Jin abandons his post and was ecstatic to meet and “kill” his beloved brother again Rachel offering Jin if he wants to become a "hero"
Noel Vermillion: A shrinking violet, have a complex about her bust size, adore cute animals. Serves as Lieutenant in the NOL and as Jin's secretary. She was found in the Ikaruga War and was adopted by the Vermillion family. Joined the NOL to restore her adoptive family status back, appointed as Jin's secretary because of her Nox Nyctores, Bolverk (dual guns that actually does all the fighting for her). After Jin abandoned his post, Noel was assigned to bring him back to headquarters. TRUE SELF: A Saya replica known as Mu-12 (the final boss in Blazblue: Continuum Shift), true possessor of the Azure (what Ranga have is only a fake imitation).
Rachel Alucard: Head of the Alucard vampire clan. Retain all memories every time the timeline keep looping however she can't intervene due to her status as an observer. Hinted to have special feelings for Ranga
Hakumen: One of the Six Heroes. After defeating the Black Beast, he warned humanity to change their ways however the humans got upset and sealed him to the Edge for 90 years. He was brought into the current time by Kokonoe from Sector Seven (organization that opposes the NOL, use science instead of magic). He is Jin from an alternative timeline when Jin jumped into the Cauldron after Ranga and Nu left. I was moved in one of Hakumen's endings when he bid farewell to Ragna and then killed the current Jin which basically killing himself.
Revealing his mask and bidding farwell to his brother
Nu-13: The 13th Saya replica, usually the final boss. Split personality (emotionless robotic around others, yandere around Ranga). Programmed to take Ranga by force
Arakune: Used to be a human until his research went haywire. Obsess over the Azure and target the Kaka clan for food. Arakune and Litchi
Litchi: The only character that cares for Arakune. She used to work at Sector Seven with Arakune until he turned insane. For the last two years, she has been looking for him. Bang is infatuated with her
Bang Shishigami: A ninja of hero and justice. His goal is to revive Ikaruga and defeat Jin. In love with Litichi. Very over-the-top and usually the comic relief and majority of the cast finds him smelly
Iron Tager: Revived as a cyborg by Kokonoe and works as her assistant in Sector Seven. Assigned to pursing Hakumen who went AWOL Tager and Kokone saying goodbye before the world ended
Taokaka: Happy-go-lucky but the least intelligent in the game. Part of the Kaka clan(The Kaka clan is made from the DNA of Jubei). Sent to retrieve the bounty on Ragna but get distracted easily
Carl Clover: Gag me a spoon because he is the weakest character and it took a long time to finish his story. Dislike being treated as a kid, calm and collected but mentally unstable because he believes his Nox Nyctores (a giant puppet) is his dead sister, Ada. Want to capture Ragna for his bounty
True Ending: Noel arrive earlier than Ragna in the Cauldron and start getting flashbacks to her past life as Mu-12. Ragna saved Noel but then start falling into the Cauldron. Noel saved him thus breaking the timeloop. Hazama is revealed to be the mastermind of the events (Creator of the Black Beast, Captain of the NOL intelligence department and one of the six heroes). He was the one who took control of Jin when he was younger and cut off Ranga’s arm. After the credits roll, Hazama ordered Tsubaki (Noel’s best friend and Jin’s childhood friend) to kill Noel and Jin.
Nu and Noel
Hazama
Oops-
Other info:
-Just leaving Tsubaki story from Continuum Shift here:
Noel’s best friend and a childhood friend of Jin. Hakumen indirectly reveals in his past, they were lovers but his neglect led to her death. Hazama manipulated Tsubaki to believe that Noel stole her place as Jin’s secretary which leaves Tsubaki to assassination tasks. Tsubaki also turned blind because of her power and became brainwashed in the end.
Fun fact: Jin’s birthday is on Valentine day while Tsubaki’s birthday is on White day
Tsubaki and Hakumen Jin and Tsubaki
-The Six Heroes: Hakumen, Jubei (Ranga’s master and Kokonoe’s father, Nine (Jubei’s wife and Kokonoe’s mother, murdered by Yuki Terumi), Trinity (one of the three souls inside Platinum), Valkenhayn (Rachel’s butler), and Yuki Terumi (Hazama)
-The Saya Replicas are called the Murakumo Units created by Hazama. His goal is use Noel to turn into Mu-12, who can “kill God”
-After each timeloop, the data get processed to Takamagahara for some unknown goal
-At the end of Continuum Shift, it was revealed the Hazama is working under Saya, the leader of the NOL
Sorry, didn't listen to Youmu yet because the files were password-locked :/
But I did listen to Shuu though. BEST BLOOD-SUCKING! I freaked out during his moans asdfg. I want his ringtone although the music kinda started buzzing or something? Did he strangle her or stepped on her hand? Haha, I was expecting Shuu to be lazy but not THAT lazy. Hmm, it's a mystery why Yui is really persistent to Shuu but not to the others. I even feel sorry for him at some point bc it felt like she was being really clingy... until he changed.
Hmm, the Dialover site hadn't updated much. I'm torn between picking Subaru and Reiji as my favorite (ahaha, not willing to listen to it again though). Ili (Ilinox) said she will start translating Shuu's cd although her motivation to do it is low because of her schedule and BWS
Downloading it on nakido right now (oops, still didn't listen to Shuu's cd yet)
Is this the same one that you recommended it to Jess? Kei sounds like my type. Oh hey, the artist for NOISE is the same artist of The Second Reproduction. I'll give you my impressions of Youmu tomorrow after listening to Shuu's cd in bed tonight.
Dangerous love seems to be a common tread in games and cds, huh? Is that a good thing?
