Tokimeki Memorial
Just saw that a fansub of Tokimeki Memorial has been released
 However, it's from an unknown Fansub group, and it's a Vhs rip, so quality probably isn't the best... has anyone already d/led it and can say something about it? Image quality, translation quality etc. |

Unfortunately this file quality is pretty low. Someone needs to resub this badly. Tokimeki Memorial was done by the same people that did the ?second Fushigi Yuugi OVA and you can tell by the characters pointed noses. I like Tokimeki Memorial OVA series a lot because I played the game so I can understand all the events they are referring to in the anime. For example they mention when you go on the school field trip and have to fight a bull (sometimes you fight another animal in the game). That scene was referring to a humorous mini-game that happened inside of the main game. In the second OVA, they also show a scene of Shiori when you walked home with her after the Christmas party and it began to snow. The second OVA is nice because it shows all the girls wearing their Christmas party clothes and the animation looks particularly nice during those scenes. The problem is that if you haven't played the game you end up missing a lot of what the anime is referring to. All the girls are basically talking about the same guy (you the gameplayer). I like the first OVA, but there isn't a whole lot that happens during it. You have to see the second OVA to find out what they are building up to and how Shiori realizes what the guy (her childhood friend) really means to her. |

I have seen this somewhere before. When I downloaded it I couldn't remember if it was the same thing or not, because I presumed that the file I got before I got from ASuki. Yeah its an old VHS sub, but its better than nothing. It pisses me off though that all these girls want the main guy and are willing (and ready) to sacrifice their futures just to be with him. Damn you gameplayer, don't take all the pretty girls for yourself! :fingers:

 Tokimeki Memorial in an old game (it's celebrating its tenth anniversary on a lot of websites right now). A lot of the older games let you be more of a girl chaser and go after several girls at the same time. In the original Tokimeki Memorial game you could go after quite a few of the girls at the same time. Of course the more girls you went after the more problems you could potentially have trying to finish the game, but it was all the more fun to try. If you had fairly decent statistics and yet still didn't manage to win any of the girls hearts you would usually end up with Miharu. Miharu was the girl that accidentally telephoned Shiori in the anime. She had a crush on the "player", but was pretty shy so she often floated around in the background of the games story. In the anime she sort of does the same thing. You can see her popping up every now and then in the scenes in the background. She was the one that walked past Shiori at the very end of the first OVA. I just rewatched some of the first OVA again. I had forgotten that in the anime the Tokimeki girls also mention things that happened during the dates they went out with you and the presents that you gave them for their birthday.

Answering someone's question. Tokimeki Memorial was indeed subbed by VKLL. After he finished Sailor Moon, he started Saint Tail, as a long series (he never finished it, but Group Hooseki, who had started before, did finish it) and 2 short OVAs: Tokimeki Memorial and Ja Ja Uma Quartet (that was later released commercially as Wild Cardz). It took him years to release the second OVA. BTW, in his latest updated (from december), Val Lam mentioned he was selling his Tokimeki Memorial LDs. Both LDs for $15. Check http://www.spots.ab.ca/~lamv/ if you're intested. |

http://www.tcp.com/doi/sg/char/index.html The Sentimental Journey anime is like a prelude to the Senti 1 game. Each girl gets their own episode and each story is about how the girl comes to realize how much they miss the guy that they knew earlier. The first Sentimental Graffiti game was about how you got a letter from a girl saying that she realizes what you meant to her and that wants to meet you again. The problem is that she didn't put her name in the letter so you travel around Japan to meet up with the girls (each of them now seventeen years old) again to find out which one them wrote it. So unlike most ren'ai games all the girls in the story begin the game already liking you. If you want to enjoy the Sentimental Journey anime a lot more go to Game FAQ and read Hooi's translation of Sentimental Graffiti Yakusoku. It contains the stories of how the twelve girls got to know and like the guy (you) when they were younger: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/30851.html Sentimental Graffiti Yakusoku, the two Sentimental Graffiti games and the Sentimental Journey anime are not always consistent with each other in terms of the extreme details, but you still get a much better understanding of what the girls are referring to in the anime than you would have from just watching the anime alone. You miss a lot from the Tokimeki Memorial and Sentimental Journey anime if you have no knowledge of the games story at all. They're not like the To Heart, Kanon and KimiNozo anime where you can enjoy them a lot without any knowledge of their respective games. Quote:

Wow, a geocities page that's been around since 1997, that's fantastic! I for one would like to see the opening videos. I've been enjoying two songs labeled "Tokimeki Memorial" since I downloaded them back in 1998 off the internet in MP2 format. It's often the case that great anime/games have great music, and I've been curious ever since. At least maybe there's more good music from this series. ^_^ -k curious |

Remember that I dowloaded the first Tokimemo ova from Animesuki about one year ago and its quality was perfect.
I'd like to play the Famicom game too, but I guess my knowledge of Japanese isn't good enough yet... T__T I really love this game songs, but must say that I like the Tokimemo 2's better. Sentimental graffiti's too are very catchy and I'm collecting every original cd I can get^^ I checked out the licensed list and saw that Senti isn't, is it? If so it'd be nice to see a torrent... Another similar games series coming to my mind is True love story (getting the cds, again! I like sweet songs!) but I don't know it very well, must say I liked the ovas. |

http://www.animeondvd.com/licenselist/S.php (I'm not sure why the Sentimental Graffiti game is still listed on that list even though it was determined to be an error post. Is Media Blasters really going to translate the game also?  )I haven't heard any news on Sentimental Journey for a long time so I am wondering if it's going to end up being one their titles that they are going to drop.

(sorry but I can't find any quote button...) I didn't know it. It's so bad to see that a anime might stay stuck this way... |

Have you played any of the game? It used to drive me nuts watching the raw second OVA because it would black out while Shiori was talking at the end. And then I had no idea what was going on because I couldn't even pull any context out from the video because there was nothing on the screen.

Tokimeki Memorial 1-2 - DVD version (by Crossfade)
Does anyone have any idea why this is suddenly on the mainpage? Is it a reseed or something? It looks the same as the one Crossfade released ages ago, same file size and everything. ...
