MC is so cute, but everything else about 7scarlet tells me to stay away, at least until reviews start rolling in.
Dead general
No anime announcement yet, but the stream's going to have some surprises.
>>147623083
Is this the biggest of the three main music mobage right now?
Not counting Dreamfes and SBR of course.
>>147623840
It's the only one I constantly see trending on Twitter, at least.
>>147623840
>three
Aren't there 4? Or is Ai Chuu/Yumecast not big enough to count?
>>147623083
Also, entering the password またあたらしいゆめをみようよ will give seven Stellar Stones.

Neither Enstar nor Yume100 are music games.
>look for some tokutens I missed
>see the price
Welp, nevermind.
>>147627563
I know that feel, anon. Nothing that extreme though.
It doesn't help that I'm not someone who gets them if it's something I haven't played yet, and then if I end up liking it I'll need to hunt them down.
Does anyone here go out of their way to get the tokutens for things they haven't read yet? What motivates you?
>>147628405
I used to if the art was pretty. But if the game turns out bad or unremarkable, you kind of associate that with the art too, so you end up with all this crap you don't want lying around.
>>147624438
I was talking for this general only and meant otome geared.
>>147628405
I sometimes get preorder drama CDs to decide if I really want to buy a game.
>>147628405
I try to avoid tokutens as much as possible nowadays, even if I like the game. I have a huge box with mousepads and drama CDs collecting dust in my basement. Sometimes I wonder if I should just sell them, but I don't even know how to price them.
>>147624469
Thanks, bro.
I kept getting an error when I entered it, but it was in my mail.
So how do these rank for you?
Yume > I7 > Aichuu
First ep of Tsukiuta wasn't too thrilling, but so far I like it more than B-Project and SRX.
>>147636790
This looks so shitty, I don't even want to download it.
>>147637317
It looks fine for 3-minuted shorts from a glorified doujin game.
>>147632494
Ichu > Yumecast > I7
>>147632494
Ai Chuu and Yumecast are both good, though I'd put Yumecast over Ai Chuu for the higher quality songs.
Idolish7 is just shit.
>>147632494
Yumeiro has the better cast, but they are all shit rhythm games
Does anyone have a full save for Ore no Shita de Agake? I wanted to play Yoshioka's route but my save got corrupted. I really don't want to go through all three routes again.
>>147632494
I like Yume's boys and songs, but I have such a hard time doing anything in the app.
It's not like I suck at the rhythm part, I can full combo even master. Grinding for events and such just feels like such a chore to me.

It's slower for me when I'm in want to go fast mode and I have to clear easy-hard, but on the other hand, the renewals always make for a nice stone boost. And it's interesting to see that we now have a double tap within the hold. I'm curious to see if they are looking to improve the challenge.
It's Doctor time.

>>147649572
Am I supposed to be happy that we'll be 'revived' by something not related to /blog/?
Even those fucking mobage are more on topic.
Mini ponytail.
Emperor, please don't bully the Shoe.
Which of the games you've played had that one outstanding system feature you wish was implemented in more games?
For me that'd be Hatsukare and being able to advance the text by using the down arrow button. Makes playing in bed much more comfy, even better than vita's touchscreen.
>>147641372
Nevermind, I got it. I'm disappointed he only has two scenes. Best boys always get shafted.
>>147671212
Arcana Familia had the down button feature, too.
I can't name a specific title but games which don't delete the backlog even when you load the save file are great. It makes it much easier to get back into the story after the game's been on on-hold for months.

>>147671212
I loved KgKV's complete touchscreen support. There was no need to use the buttons just once, everything could be done using the touchscreen. It was really nice and I wish more Vita games would do that.
>>147680230
For a second I mistook Kanade for Amamiya.
>>147627563
that's excessive.

I wonder if we'll get anything /blog/ related at wonfes.
>>147692282
If you count idols as /blog/ related, we will.
And there were a bunch of announcements like Hakuouki from that shitty maker.
>>147671212
I think Hanasaku Manimani was the only games I've played up to now that lets you advance the text with the sticks.
I love it. Not having to press anything is super comfy. Why isn't this more common?
They're supposedly trying to translate that hakuouki school game
Why is hakuouki so popular?

Enstars one of the most fucked up idol games I've played so far but the stories are fun. If only the gameplay wasn't so boring.
>>147691326

Utapri senpais, but with LATER we might as well pretend they don't exist 'til they suddenly release it.
>>147725795
>pretend they don't exist
That's what I'm going to do until Ai-chan goes up for preorder.
And if they keep the pair release, Maracas and Ranran are going to be first anyway.
>>147694461
>>147700945
Black humor or serious?
Either way, I had no idea the series went in that direction.

>Nazuna wasn't allowed to talk/sing during shows since he has a "doll-like" image and his voice changed from puberty
Then there's Shu, the oddball who got mindfucked so hard that he spergs out at others and literally speaks through his doll - which was probably based off his childhood friend's dead mom.
Yeah enstars is definitely not the same type of idolru drama that I expected like i7 or yumecast.
>>147671212
I like it when psp/vita games have save compartments directly incorporated into the UI rather than having to make separate save files.
It limits how many saves I can make, but I can organize them better.
Sorry that my explanation is shit. Quite a few games have this (Hatsukare, Arcana Famiglia, Bad Apple Wars, etc.) but I want more games to have it.
>>147751327
That's cute, what's the source? looks like the official art.
>>147729883
Can you link me to where you got the pic from?
>>147761536
Isn't that the endcard of Tsukiuta's first episode?
>>147761536
If you used reverse image search you'd get more an enough sources.
>>147762726
Yes.
>>147762880
I did but they weren't in that quality.
>>147766068
The first one is. The twitter one.
>>147766562
Don't see it. I only get 4 results

It is the official art. YumeCast's Twitter account posted two comic strips.

Snow isn't as cold in japan. The typhoons make water freeze at a higher temperature than normal. Thats why it's a popular winter vacation spot
>>147781236
I'm pretty sure most Japanese would agree that going out in the winter without a coat is retarded.
>>147782614
Their island blood is weak. That's why they all stay in Japan.

>they're so cool and handsome that people have given them a nickname
>from that point forward, they are referred to by that nickname as if they are some shitty boy band
>>147755507
One of those points is similar, but the others seem to take Enstars in a different direction. Are they purposefully trying to make it a real drama?
Sorry if my questions seem odd, but I am just curious in how far it's taken as in what follows and impact.

Is SolidS just an album series released by a group of seiyuu?
>>147821025
Isn't it just another of those fictional idol units? I think they belong to the same label Tsukiuta does.
>>147821463
I thought it was but I wasn't sure if they had drama CDs or any other media.
>>147823481
There are drama tracks and at least one full cd, It's a whole fake group with character bios on the website.
Same with Soara and Growth.
Dammit game stop making have to go look up stuff on wikipedia.But of course it's quantum physics, always a nice vague sciency thing to use when trying to explain time travel/parallel universes.
Took a while, but now that I finally got on a route proper this game has gotten interesting.
>>147825724
Is the spoiler a real spoiler or is it alright to read it?
How did you guys input your name on Stellaworth?

Anyone order from Hobigirls before? Shipping for my order is 0 yen when it says it should be 300 for orders under 5000 yen. Will they charge later or something?

Is this the first article the sequel has had?

Looks like it was the right call to finish KgK before articles revealing the sequel started.
>>147865568
From my shit memory, yes.

The only thing is that really young Tsuzuramaru looks extremely bizarre.

not really a spoiler if you bother looking up all the science terms that buchou uses.
>>147882313
That hairstyle looks good on him. Those pants, however
>>147883372
I feel like Okamoeto is getting younger by the year. He's probably sucking the life out of his fellow seiyuu.
>>147880885
Is it strange that I can't take OnoD seriously when he does otome roles?

I feel that way about Sugita.

Cheritz still loves its DRM I see.
For a mobile game, it's not a bad concept and game's not bad so far, if a bit weird, but I'll never pay a dime for mobile.
Some pretty cliche developments in buchou's route. Wonder how it will actually pan out.
Reminds me that I really hate when the mc calls a guy by his title the whole game instead of their real name, especially annoying in Tsundere S Otome.
>>147911437
Are you already in his route? (after the fifth mini story that you can choose).
Everything before that is common route.
>>147916980
Yeah I was on his route, that's just a random screenshot from one of the LRC's.It totally ended how i thought it would, of course he couldn't go through with it and change the past.
Those tree pieces that unlock afterword are pretty interesting, I love when games play around with other perspectives.
Which type of guy do /blog/ usually go with first? I often do the nicest guy's route first.
>>147921527
I can't remember the last time I didn't follow the recommended order. If there isn't one I start with whoever I'm most interested in.
>>147921527
When not following a recommended order, I tend to do my favorite first and that would usually be a tsundere or kuudere character.
>>147920706
I've been saving the tree pieces for until they were done, but good to know they're nice
I really need some motivation to finish, have been stuck on the second to last route for a while now.
>>147921527
If there's no recommended order or route selection screen I usually just play blind. Most of the time it results in a bad end or a generic normal end.
>>147691326
Thanks, senpai
>laughing during/after sex
Is there a term for this?
>>147921527
Sanest acting knowledgeable guys followed by chillest dudes. I go with those two first so I can enjoy the backstory and then brace myself in advance for that route's eventual yandere/crazy breakdown in the story because it's always the unassuming ones you have to watch out for.
>tfw one can't escape the memories of thetea revealthat happened from Nameless, when the MC learns ofHaru's real thoughtsfrom Sumire no Tsubomi, or readingReiji's diaryfrom Sachi no Tenbin.
>>147942958
>Nameless
Shouldn't you have known in advance?
>>147943129
Sorry if that's a bad example. It's been a while since I've played.
>>147943465
It's just that game is pretty well-known for that, plus the story concept that should send the "expect weird/creepy shit" to begin with.
>>147926474
>favorite and first is the tsun
My fellow Anon. If not tsun then he's at least sweet vanilla. I no longer follow an order unless necessary because I want to the full read to be with the character I'm most interested in.
>>147941519
Bl and otome combined, I don't think I have ever heard this in any drama CD. In fact I can't immediately think of any CD that was more happy in nature rather than the usual (forbidden) lust and drama and whatnot. Any Anons know of happy h series?
>>147943617
Really? I didn't know when played it. Just wanted to try out something new at that time. I guess I must've been one out of ten thousand that didn't know.
>>147944184
I'm sure they're around, just not as well-known in English-speaking communities as flat out smut is for some reason.
>>147944184
>happy h series
Animal Darling, especially vol 1. That was hilarious.
Tadaima Renai Chou! The guy is a complete dork.
Futari no Himitsu series, just avoid the yandere one. I remember the last two were particularly sappy.
>>147944946
>for some reason
I think that's mostly fueled by not knowing Japanese + the western fanbase for these hobbies consisting of people that want one thing and one thing only. Now that latter part I don't get, personally.
>10
>>147944946
Possibly because smut scenarios tend to provide for memorable stories and voice acting? It is something when the MC of your last watched cartoon can be heard moaning. Then I could understand why the shocking material gets more notice.
>>147945515
Much appreciated, Anon. Himitsu alone will make for a nice listen with the nipple play.
I wonder what the next big idol series will be.
>>147951415
I want the idol genre to die.
>>147951415
Utapri with new group.
>>147921527
The one that's listed first.
>>147951415
The one where you murder every idol.
>>147954550
I honestly wouldn't mind this, but the fanbase would probably have an autistic meltdown over feeling abandoned or selling out, or something else equally stupid. Think retarded Pokemon generation wars.
>>147951415
I unironically want to see yankee idols.
>>147963348
Goes against the "pure" thing since yankees are degenerates .
>>147963348
>>147963348
wouldn't that basically be visual kei or something.
>>147963734
Yankee styles and v-kei styles are completely different.
>>147966080
Although they have in common that they're both trashy people with no taste.
>>147963734
Yankii are more akin to trailer trash.
So nu metal band.
>>147966658
This, or punk for sure.
>>147966080
80s and early 90s visual kei had more of a yankii thing going on than modern.
>>147974698
I liked F/Z one better.
How's Stellaworth's packaging? Any hell forwarding?
>>147834335

What is that hoodie even? A chicken? A dinosaur? Both?
