  1. 999 First Impressions

    by , 05-06-2015 at 04:52 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    Well I've reached the first actual choice so I thought it might be a good time to give first impressions.



    Sorry about this being the only screenshot, I fear running into spoilers if I look for anything else.

    First things first.

    OH MY GOD THAT TEXT SPEED IS SO SLOW IT'S KILLING ME.

    *Ahem* Sorry. I haven't read a visual novel that didn't just skip the text-appearing-animation if you click ...

  2. AIR Summer Arc Thoughts

    by , 05-01-2015 at 09:39 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    Well, well, that was actually pretty damn good.



    After completing the three storyline paths of Dream, you unlock the Summer arc. It takes place in a completely different era with completely different characters and overall has pretty much nothing to do with what you've read up to this point.

    Summer takes place in ancient Japan. The protagonist is a samurai by the name of Ryuuya. He is sent to protect a 'winged ...
  3. Umineko: A Reflection on Episode 8

    by , 04-27-2015 at 03:00 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    This post contains heavy spoilers for the eighth episode of Umineko no Naku Koro ni. If you have not read Umineko, beware.

    (SPOILER)

    Most people who have read Twilight of the Golden Witch probably aren't surprised at this, but it's my least favorite of the Umineko episodes. For the simple reason that most of the main plot has already ended by that point; Battler and Beatrice's game was resolved back in Episode 6, and Episode 7 tied up pretty much all the loose ends of the mystery

  4. AIR Dream Arc Thoughts

    by , 04-22-2015 at 10:52 AM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    Having completed Dream and now moving on to Summer, I felt I could at least post my thoughts on it, and maybe compare it to the anime a bit.

    Dream consists of three character routes; Minagi's, Kano's and Misuzu's, and I went through them in this order.



    Minagi Tohno

    I didn't really remember much about her character from the anime, so a lot of this was 'new' to me. Minagi is a very quiet girl and doesn't ...
