Soul Link. New anime based on a game from Navel?

[Dark Lord Zenigame]

I got the game at the beginning of the year...
It was the LE, with an artbook and a voice clock. (That thing is damned LOUD.)


It's been a while since I played it, since I kept DYING REPEATEDLY. I managed to make it to the final part of the first chapter, but then shit kept happening and I was forced to use a kouryaku since I couldn't figure just what the hell I was doing wrong.

When I stopped, I was playing Shuuhei? Um... I know one of the main charas' names was Shuuhei, but I can't remember which one. >_>

The game's story is rather heavy, and perverted as hell... I wonder how they'll manage to adapt it to anime and not mess up the story.

I mean, it has people spontaneously turning into slimes that will either eat you or tentacle rape the girls, insane amounts of technobabble, and... >_>

...yeah.



In any event, I liked Shuffle better...

Whoa, that's so...... Japanese. If they remove the tentacle-part and just make the slimes try to devour the main-characters i guess it could work.

And before that, I just enjoyed the series, even if Sia got dumped Poor Sia... And for no reason... But at the time, we had about 8 episodes to go, so I thought that that's part of some plan, not just some crap to dismiss Sia and move to Asa. And I believed that the writers knew what they were doing until ep 21. Ep 21 is one of the worst resolutions of a plot issue I've ever seen. And even though the pattern may exist, that doesn't mean NO writing is crappy. Maybe it is. Or maybe we're always expecting too much. Or maybe the writing follows the same patterns, THUS yielding the same results for the fanbase.

You actually mean people debated on whether Clark would fall for Lois? Isn't that pretty much set in stone? We knew that from ages past At least as an adult, not in Smallville. Teenage characters usually suck, and although Clark really tries most of the time, he does some things that are way too stupid

I'm not a big plot guy, although sometimes I get irked when something when plot elements are introduced for the sake of convenience. The whole Nerina and Sia in a conspiracy to get Rin and Asa together was pretty far fetched, and the reasoning was flimsy. As I mentioned before I though the whole "Rin likes Asa but thinks Asa only considers him a friend/Asa likes Rin but encourages his misinterpretation because [insert reason her, because I haven't figured it out]" was flimsy as well. However, I think every plot has been done to death, and I put more stock in character and dialogue. That I think the writers did a great job with that. Maybe that raised expectations a little high for the ending.

Off topic: During the first couple of seasons of Smallville, there was a pretty sizable number of Chloe fans who were convinced she was the one for Clark. They competed with the Lana fans for the most part, but the Superman fans were quick to point out neither would win. I saw some pretty creative speculation from some of the more rabid shippers on how Lois fit (or didn't fit) into the equation. (Chloe somehow morphing into Lois was my favorite. "Lois doesn't exist, and if she shows up, it is a betrayal of the fans" was another popular theory.) I've never seen anything quite that nutty here.

Back on topic: I'm sticking with Nao for the time being. The pantsu chibi got to her, poor girl.

Thanks!
I've got some more pics as well, snapshots from the flash on the official Navel page:



Oh, and is anyone interested in joining the Ai Ai Aki! club?

[Furudanuki]

Oh my, I am going to do a bit of photo-editing on the picture of Sayaka that Lina Inverse posted. Because it sure looks to me like Sayaka + Ma realm ears = Lycoris.

I can see it! I can see Lycoris when I put my mind to it! You're absolutely right!

[npal]

Ok, I like Nanami Now I just have to see how her personality is to decide whether I'll take that statement back. From the looks of it though, she's a supporting character and too young probably, so I have to wait before I choose someone else Aki SEEMS nice enough, although I have some things against her sign

[SnakeLegend]

don't.... urge... me... to... get... it....

I didn't have enough time to do more than a quick and dirty paste up job, but I think this picture will serve to illustrate the likeness.

Spoiler for Sayaka+ears=Lycoris:

[SnakeLegend]

er... Nerine? is that you?

Just change the eye colour from Lycoris blue to Nerine red-violet!

Edit:

We will definitely be subbing this anime.

It actually looks like Nerine, although the ears are pointing the wrong way. Nerine´s ears look like the wings of a fighterjet.

Nanami rocks

[Radiosity]

Aye. I'm leaning more towards Sayaka personally though Nanami reminds me of Aya (uh, or was it Ayu?...) in Kanon.

[Apekatt]

Feh, Aki-chan is the cutest.

Thanks Sophia. I hope you guys do. And thank you for the Shuffle! Anime U and the other two groups did a great job. It was an embarrassment of riches.
