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!

Otome & BL news 21/8

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

Confidential Money got new CGs and so did Diabolik Lovers.

Voice samples and more information about the Quinrose game 24 ji no Kane to Cinderella Halloween Wedding.  I have to admit that I had zero interest in the game before but after playing Oumagatoki and seeing the cast I really want to buy this  (*´・ｖ・)

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

Yaoi game Taisho Mebiusline got a release date: December 21st. Let's hope they don't postpone it anymore.

Fandisk Omerta: Code TYCOON teaser website opened.

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?

A second fandisk for Arcana Famiglia game is in the making. This time it's a mini-game collection with all the characters, taking place at a festival in Regalo. More information to come!

Isshoni Gohan have been delayed until 2013. I'm pretty frustrated by this actually, as the game seems to be promising.

Rejet is releasing an artbook with the popular boys from Tokyo Yamanote Boys. It goes by the title FAIRYTALE ILLUSTRATIONS and will be for sale by the end of august with the price tag 3,150yen.

Update for Diabolik Lovers. The manga seems pretty well-received and the heroine not all that bad.

More information about the system in Glass Heart Princess. I used to be sceptical about this but now I'm actually looking forward to it. The alien (?) guy is my favorite so far.

Nitro+Chiral is releasing a DRAMAtical Murder anthology manga. You can order it here.

Rejet opened a website especially for the BWS soundtrack. The first CD will be out august 29

CG update over at OZMAFIA. God damn, Caesar is a badass AND tsundere? Will my poor heart survive this?

Hyakki Yakou got a CG update recently.

Twitter icons and wallpapers up for download over at upcoming BL game Si-Nis-Kanto

Karin is releasing a dakimakura featuring the protagonist of the yaoi game Omerta, JJ. I wonder if it's exclusively for Comiket or if they will sell it online too?

From the looks of it eroge company Liar-Soft seem interested in publishing their games in English.

Otome & BL news 20/5

Tenrin no Guneval is a upcoming BL game by Madalabo. The protagonist this time is an ossan-character. Anyone else but me see a resemblance to Kotetsu from Tiger and Bunny?

I'm not sure if upcoming Lucky Dog 1 + Bad Egg is a remake with new endings and content or if it is the long awaited sequel people have been hoping for? After being let down with cheap mini-games instead of actual stories, I've somehow lost faith in the Lucky Dog 1 franchise.

Brothers conflict released a bunch of wallpapers to celebrate the release of the game. Get it for both your PC and PSP.

Oumagatoki is getting a spin-off game called Hyakki Yakou.
The heroine is a dragon princess who tries to live up the the expectations of her family and people around her, but she really just want to live her life in her own way. The art is actually pretty nice and I prefer this style compared to the usual QuinRose.

They also put up a website for a new game called School Wars. More information will be in the next B's log. The heroine looks very cute and also pretty badass with that gun in her hand. I definitely wouldn't mind playing this.

Trick or Alice put up their CV and sample voices. There are 2 different samples for each character, one for normal and one for Wonderland. Alice voice certainly is very, very high-pitched.

New Otomate game called Glass Heart Princess. First thing that struck me was how the guy looks exactly like a clone of Shin from Amnesia. The story is about a girl who is a complete and perfect Mary Sue student in every way. Her one and only flaw is that she knows nothing about boys. Will be for PSP and release is set in November this year.

Popular "I'm so in love with you that I want to kill you"-theme CDs Yandere Heaven is getting a game. The website Yandere Heaven - Affection ~Bunny Cage~ sure looks intense.

Honeybee's new game 青春はじめました！ (Our youth has just started! or something) opened it's website. There is a questioner where you can answer what the word youth means to you and they will create characters and other in game scenarios around it. One lucky winner will get their name in the credits.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately OTL
Classes are really hectic this close to summer and I've also been on vacation in London, so no time for games. Please hold out a little bit more for the DMMD review, it'll soon be done!
