Oretsuba 11 - Birdemic: Shock and Terror
I have no idea why I'm so attracted to the concept of wings. Most of the VNs in my wishlist involve the motif in some way. Perhaps that's why I was drawn to this series. Apparently I've been a little off this whole time. Takashi - or should I say, Hawk Cyanblue, Fancy Man of Gretgard -'s fantasy wasn't based on LotR or D&D at all, but rather a variation of Dragon Quest. It's Japan, of course DQ would be involved. That said, aside from having one of the most destructive forms of the power of love I've seen, the ending to this episode was actually pretty touching. Like most of the VNs I've touched, it still has an idealistic core at its heart. Asuka knows that having dreams and fantasies are alright, as long as you let them inspire your reality, and not overtake them. The idea that so many people recognize Takashi is kind of charming in its own way, too. He might not have been himself, but the threads of the stories told through Yanagihara all encircle back to him. Now there's the matter of prying our Lost Ankh out of this birdcage. I'm looking forward to it. |

Phoenix and Youji are both SISCON MAX!
All for the sake of Kobato They also show the info about Takashi. For him being imperfect and creation to protect Kobato. Spoiler for Ending 俺たちに翼はない 第12話:
hahaha what a wonderful ending indeed.

ISH stands for Inner Self Helper, it's part of theoretical MPD studies, and it's supposed to be a personality that exists within people afflicted with MPD that acts as the 'helper agent' to sort of manage and control things to help them live their life and get healthy.
Basically one of the 'twists' of the game/anime was that the entire story was from the point of view of 'you', and that you were the ISH personality inside them that helped them get better. I guess it works better in the game since you actually have choices and stuff but whatever. The VN from the train is Sekai Seifuku Kanojo, from Navel, of course. Art also from Nishimata. The writing was done by Higashi Nosuke who was the sub-writer for Oretsuba. |

Prelude contain stories that follow Asuka, Miyako, and Misaki, each one taking place on the same day, about a year prior to the events of the main game. It also contains a little Karuo side story.
After Story takes place pretty much immediately after the events in each Oretsuba end. Though some of the protagonist's stories from the main game have epilogues that skip quite a bit of time, so most of the stories in After Story technically takes place in the time between the ending and the epilogue from the main game. |
