BokuTomo 08 - Shark Week/Human Week

Now that I think about it, how many gothic-themed magical girls are there? I know there's at least one other vampire themed one, but in general, they tend towards bright, pastel colors and motifs like flowers (not that gothic ones can't use those. In fact, they may even be more likely.) These brief glimpses of shows-within-shows always cause me to ponder on what they're like, Kobato's is no exception. Her way of obtaining her "true form"... could use some work.

What kind of VN includes a shark attack? I did recognize the perspective-saving measure of having the girl overlaid on a wide shot of an area as opposed to a horizon perspective one. It can look weird, and requires some getting used to. Then, onto the pool... and it was kind of a bust compared to last time. In some ways, that's a nice send up of expectations, but it also means one step forward, two steps back on the friend making thing.

Speaking of busts, Sena. That scene with Kobato. It was very... yes.
