Daitoshokan no Hitsujitsukai
From the makers of Fortune Arterial comes their next school-based VN.

No I mean... This thing was just a few months old, and it gets anime already? Don't get me wrong, I like this title, but......I mean, why don't they do Eustia instead?

Also and i agree that i would rather have seen an Eustia anime... and the chance of getting one looks rather slim with this anime adaptation. |

Btw, I bet they made quite a bit with Daito, even though it doesn't have spectacular plot. They dished out multiple goods with the premium limited edition pack, and you can only get certain specific goods when you shop at a particular site. Hardcore (+rich) Otakus probably have multiple copies of the game LOL

Anyway, this game left me feeling a bit dissatisfied, though in a different way from Eustia. I felt that they could expand a lot more on Hitsujikai and provide more interesting drama. |

Having abused the fast forward button
August's writer seems to be in a downward spiral or something and is climbing his way back up. At least he ends Daito on a much higher note than Eustia. Elements of the downward slump from past games. Yoake Moonlight Cradle: The entire descendant thing was bittersweet. Eustia: ouch...just ouch. Daito: Some more explanation on hitsujikai would've been nice, yes. But uh...Kakei's past? that's another ouch for me. |

Eustia's route was set to be a Naki-route; it shouldn't be judged as bad because of that.
There was a bunch of explanation for Hitsujikai, though it pales in comparison with FA. I would have like to see TRUE antagonists like the Kuroyagi that Nanai acted as, messing with people's futures etc, and make it more exciting. But alas no, it's all a sham...... I believed the multiple true routes are just to cater to all the fans' preferences, hardly adding additional value once you've played one, except for Nagi's route of course. And between Nagi and the 4 girls, there's no best (most complete) true route; if you did the former, you resolve Kakei's past with Nagi; if you did the later, you resolve Kakei's father 'issue'. This is something I don't like. One plus is that there's no unnecessary extended drama in the normal routes. But really, Kana was the one that kept me constantly entertained. Sayumi's antics were also funny. Finally it was nice to have Satou Rina as Miyuu. My personal route rating: Nagi (true only) > Kana (normal) > Senri (normal) > Sayumi (normal only) > Tsugumi (normal) = Tamamo (normal) = all other true routes = Miyuu (normal only) > Maho (normal only) |

I liked Daitoshokan for its normal and mostly drama-free nature, but the supernatural was indeed left out a bit too much. I mean, I expected for each main heroine that Kakei had at least one future-vision of which he in total had one or two maximum at the very beginning, iirc.
The individual true ends were, as larethian mentioned, underwhelming. Using the first-name-basis to start off, like during the individual normal routes, wouldn't have been that more work once the couple had been confirmed. This is surely nitpicking on my part, but one reason why I also loved Erika's route in FA better than the True Route

A reminder for those who follow this, Daito's chara poll gonna be held starting from 21st until 28th of this month. They said they will announce the voting place later, but I presume they gonna announce this in their official site anyway.
