First there was Getchu.com blocking non-Japan IP addresses, then Alicesoft.com.. it seems I have brought very little good eroge gaming news today… but fear not my comrade, I have got good news this time!  Popular 3D Eroge Game maker Illusion Soft have announced a collaborative 3D Character Collection game with Forgest to bring you the authentic rendition of popular eroge game characters from Alicesoft, BaseSon and Visual Art’s!

It felt like it’s been forever since the last time I talk about eroge game now, perhaps it has to do with the fact that the last Illusion game Yuusha Kara Wa Nigerarenai was too much of a failure for me to even spend any time on it.  Anyway, what I am going to talk about this time is the Alicesoft 20th Anniversay Project: Alice 2010.  The same company that brought us awesome games such as Mamatoto, Beat Angel Escalayer, Sengoku Rance, Daiakuji, Big Bang Age, Beat Blade Haruka and Toushin Toshi 3.

I have been a fan of Alicesoft games for many many years now, most of their games are very fun to play, challenging and require some level of fluency in Japanese before you can play effectively, not to mention most of their heroines are drop dead gorgeous!  Every now and then, Alicesoft would do a fandisk release call the Alice Mansion, which contain a collection of omake stuff, songs, short stories etc.  The year 2010 is Alicesoft’s 20th anniversary and they have prepared to go with a bang!  Let’s take a brief look at what they have to offer!

Here we have Alicesoft’s mascot, Alice in her modern look; she has received many face lifts over the past 20 years or so, and needless to say, she is still one of the most kawaii eroge game company mascot around!

I have been waiting for this day to come for the past 2 weeks or so, my 9th daughter, Dollfie Dream Airi has arrived at my residence today!  The fact that she arrived today, just a day after I watched Queen’s Blade 2nd Season Episode 5, where she played a major role in the story is just extra special to me.  I have always wanted to believe, despite the lack of screen time for Airi in Queen’s Blade Season 1 and Season 2 thus far, that she is more than just a life sucking assassin/ghostly maid, loyal servant to the Swamp Witch (I have yet to see this so call Swamp Witch to do anything evil by the way).  I was jumping overjoy that Airi is indeed a character worthy to become my daughter, for in depth review of the Queen’s Blade Season 2 Episode 5, please visit blogsphere comrade Smithy’s Blue Blue Wave.  Enough talk, let’s take a look at the loots~

Not really ground breaking news, but I noticed just the other day that Beat Blade Haruka is going for an OVA release; it’s been well over a year since the game was released back in Feburary 2008, not sure why it took so long for Alicesoft to push through the release.   Platinium Milky would be doing the animation portion, and if my memory is correct, this will be the first Alicesoft title release through them.  Anyway, based on the information I was able to gather from Getchu, the first DVD is scheduled to hit the street on August 25.

It seems the story has been somewhat altered in order to introduce Narika onto the scene.  In game, Haruka broke down because of battle fatique, and therefore prompted Narika to step up to the plate to become a Sennin.  However, in the OVA, we will see Haruka being captured by one of the monsters instead :P

That reminded me that I never finished Narika’s arc lol, may be I should go do that before the OVA hit the street.  For some reason, Beat Blade Haruka just couldn’t manage to recreate the same gaming experience as Beat Angel Escalayer (for me at least) even though they are based off the same engine.  Anyway, I would be looking forward to seeing this new OVA release coming August :3

Next up for the photo session treatment is my newly acquired gathering kit from E2046.com, Subaru from the eroge game Choko Sennin Haruka.

Choko Sennin Haruka is a heroine, insult, ninja, training + ADV eroge game release by Alicesoft back in Feburary 2008.  Previously released figure related to this series includes Takamori Haruka from Alter and the yet to be released Shihoudo Narika also from Alter.  Subaru is considered as the third and non-cannon heroine as she only joins you mid-way through the game and did not have her own cho-henshin costume.  Despite the fact that Alicesoft did not consider her as main heroine, she is actually rather popular among the fans; probably due to her mature body build and her beautiful long black hair + ponytail.  In this write up, I am going to attempt to give a summary of the game story as I would focus Subaru’s story as she joins the team as I don’t think I can talk about Subaru without talking about Haruka and Narika.  I would finish Narika and Haruka’s stories in future write ups, otherwise, it would be too long.

Photo session

I would say the paint job and shadow are done very well, the skin tone may be a little pale in the face for my taste. With an interchangeable arm, magnetically attached clothing and the gold trim around her waist belt, this gathering kit is full of gadgets.  The only catch about this kit is the artificial right arm seems to have a very tight of a fit against her body to be assembled right out of the box (and I ended up shaving some resin off her arm to force it in).  As a result, it’s nearly impossible to cast off her lower half body.

This is a first mega post for me!  I ended up putting in a lot of details on the background story and well I did end up playing the game over just to be sure I don’t make any false assumption.  As a result, I ended up finding stuff that I missed during my first play through.  In the end, I feel it’s still a benefit for me.  As usual, I would like to seek some feedback on a feature like this, photo session + background story.  Is it too much details or just about right?  Next write up would most likely be Haruka and I am saving Narika for last since her new figure would come out in July.

For the past few days I have been replaying Beat Blade Haruka (or Choko Sennin Haruka) for Subaru’s background story to go with her photos shoot.  During the process I think I realized I have always had a soft spot for tsundere (think Asuka Langley Soryu from Evangelion).  I never really knew why I bought so many of her figures, I always though it was the long hair, but there must be more to it.  Then I realized it has got to be the tsundere effect (I only learned about this term recently).  And a few days ago, Alter open this figure for reservation.

I guess playing through Beat Blade Haruka again has two meanings now, Narika and Subaru.  One thing I can say for sure, Narika is definitely a pink+twintails+tsundere (that’s like a trifecta of win), I am going to cover her background along with Subaru.  And if tsundere turns you on, this is the figure for you.  Reservation is open at Hobby Search and probably your favorite online store.

I have fairly good confidence that Alter can deliver, judging how their version of Haruka easily looks 10X better than the Kotobukiya version.  My only question is why do they skip the normal henshin and go straight to cho henshin?  And the bigger question is, where is my Haruka cho henshin???
I am adding her to my must buy list for 2009, see the rest of them here.

Loot update March 17, 2009

March is a really busy month with various magazines, figures release etc.  I don’t think April would be like this, perhaps May would be crazy again.  Anyway, various boxes have arrived in the past few days and then we have an update.

Upper left we have G’s Megazine vol.4 2009, upper right Megami Super Deluxe,lower left we have painted resin of Subaru from Beat Blade Haruka, and Hatsune Miku from GSC in lower right.

I thought I was done with all the G’s Magazine goods for Moonlight Cradle earlier this month, it turns out I was wrong!  While searching for Megami Super Deluxe, I stumbled upon this and the focus is the give away Feena trading figure.  Yeah I know it’s usually low quality, but I vowed to not skip out on any G’s Magazine bonus goods for Feena ever again, so there it is.

Break open the bonus box and we have a tiny Feena that looks surprisingly good for give away.

Then we have Megami Super Deluxe featuring all the moe 2D girls from vol. 1 to 100 (special thanks for comrade Optic from http://thedisjointedzone.com/ to inform us about it on DC).  Due to some technical error, I am going to end up with 2 copies of Megami Super Deluxe ;x, I might look into selling one when the market depleted of them.

Next up we have the painted resin figure of the optional heroine Subaru from Beat Blade Haruka, a training ADV game released by Alicesoft released back in Feburary 2008.  Beat Blade Haruka is actually the 2nd game that utilize the Beat Angel System game mechanics (the first one being the popular Beat Angel Escalayer released in 2002)  in which the main character must recharge the heroine’s energy level by performing various sexual stimulations.  If the heroine were to lose against the monster in battle, her energy level would also be recharged, this time by the monster!  Since Subaru is the only one of the three heroines that didn’t have a PVC figure release, so I decided to pick her up.  She is actually rather popular among the fans, not sure why there isn’t a PVC made of her yet.   Anyway, when I saw her up as a Gathering kit from one of my main sources for prepainted resin, I picked her up immediately at E2046.com.    The unique point about this figure is that every pieces of her clothes are magnetically attached to her body!

And here is a teaser shot

Working on her photos shoot and background story right now, should be ready in a few days time!

And lastly, we have Hatsune Miku from Good Smile Company.  Now I don’t claim to be very knowledgeable on Miku’s background story.  All I really know is that she is originally a visual representation of a computer music program that synthesizes singing in Japanese.  Developed by Crypton Future Media, it utilizes Yamaha’s Vocaloid2 technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors.

Still on their way to me is the Queen’s Blade Alice figure, I have no idea why it’s taking so long for her to get to me, must be the free shipping thing ;x (I’m still crossing my fingers to hope she would arrive free of damage),   my first Oppai mouse pad, and 1/7 Teana Lanster PVC from Alter.
