Otome & BL news 11/10

Brother's Conflict (or Bro-Con for short) is getting an anime! Not much information have been released yet so we will have to wait. Crossing my fingers for a good studio to animate it.

Karin Entertainment Sherlock Holmes otome game will be released on March 7th, 2013. The website finally opened after such a long wait and I'm really excited to play the game.

TAKUYO open the website for their new PSP game 月影の鎖 -錯乱パラノイア.  The slogan is "Would you still love me..?"
My first impression is very good. I love the colors and the character designs!

New Rejet title called Ken ga Kimi.
As usual Rejet shine by choosing the most inspiring and wonderful BGM and soundtrack to the game.

Anime designs of the bishonens in Amensia are out.
I think they manged to capture each guy's style pretty good.

Why not grab a new PSP theme and wallpaper? Diabolik Lovers are celebrating the release of the game with some handsome vampires for your PSP. And while your on the website, don't forget to vote for your favorite boy in the poll.

Otomate's new game Shiratsuyu no Kai will be somewhat of a horror game.
The setting is an old japanese Shrine and there will be supernatural elements. The music on the website is enough to make me shiver.

Hinano did a research on how much you really have to pay in the end to play those "different routes per game" VNs. It's ridiculous how Japan is trying to rip-off the poor customers. I don't hate the idea of paying money per route but if so it better be at a reasonable price!

The new Arcana famiglia spin-off mini game website opened.

Confidential Money got new CGs and so did Diabolik Lovers.

FD for VitaminZ teaser site has been published.

Seems like Otomate took inspiration from the Fate/ series because their newest game is Princess Arthur. Trailer looks good even though I can't ignore how similar Lancelot looks to the Fate/ interpretation.

Another newly announced title from Otomate is NORN9. The wikipedia article and trailer hints that there will be three heroines. I'm a sucker for Nordic mythology so this is right up my alley.

OZMAFIA finally updated and added voice samples to some of the characters.

CG update for Love is not bound by any rules! This game looks so good, I can't wait to get it! (*°∀°)=3

Upcoming 18+ otome game Koezaru ha Akai Hana released a trial version. The game will be released next month.

Glass Heart Princess will be in stores 11/29.

The new Amnesia game got it own website. Shin as the protagonist this time?

I'm guessing the Arabians Lost remake sold pretty good because now a sequel/FD is coming. The new installment is called Arabians Doubt and will be available next year.

Witch's Garden is one of the first games uses a new technique called E-mote which makes the characters look animated and much more alive. (Sample can be seen here)
Will all visual novels looks like this is the future? I certainly wouldn't mind. Hopefully some company will try this out on otome games too. Otomate maybe?
