Spreading the Gift of Imouto LOVE

Only one new game announced this week: Chien’s RGH ~Koi to Hero to Gakuen to~. There will be a lot more next week, including one from FAVORITE (Hoshimemo FD?). Release dates have been set for the following games:

Shapeshifter – January 29th
Hinomaru – February 25th

Shirokuma Bell Stars has been delayed to December 11th. Why don’t they just release it on Christmas Day? Cure Mate Club has been moved back to March 26th.

Great news coming from MoonStone, via Akiba Blog. The iPhone app for Gift had been available in Japanese for almost a year (I had mentioned it on a post last November). Now there’s an English version out too! The translations are so-so, but it’d be better than what you’d get with online translators. You can buy the app for $9.99 USD. If I had an iPhone, I’d definitely try it out. Speaking of Gift, I really should finish that. >_>

As part of the 500k hit and comiket 77 selection celebration for Sonata’s imouto fan site ONE NIGHT DREAM, there are two polls up: favorite imouto and imouto trait. Obviously, I’m voting for Sana, but I really should play through Yaya (Clover Point), Sora (Yosuga no Sora) and Mai (Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na) since I’ve heard nothing but good things about them. I was torn between ‘onii-chan LOVE’ and ‘jealousy’ for the imouto trait poll. While I love bracon imouto (Sana, Ai, Kotori), I think that jealousy and not wanting others to take away their onii-chan is the defining trait of any imouto route. That’s why imouto such as Koisora’s Mikoto and DCII’s Yume are so appealing.

For IchaPri!, the winning situation for Tsubaki and Yuzuna is public 3P dressed in china dresses. This week is Sumireko and Futaba. Choices are nurse 3P in the school infirmary, 3P in the gym storage room and exhibitionism wearing a half-coat only in the shopping area. The last one is leading with almost 90% of the votes.

Tamahime won the Sugarcoat Freaks chara poll. She’s an ojou-sama who poses as the protagonist’s imouto. SCORE is holding a chara poll for Zettai Maou until November 27th. You can vote 3 times a day. There’s so many characters…

TECH GIAN Brilliant will cover all 215 eroge released in the first half of 2009 in 2 DVDs and 1 CD, with HD demo movies, trials, wallpapers, songs, walkthroughs and CGs. It’s a good catalogue for only 2400 yen.

CIRCUS held another event as part of their 10th anniversary, “CIRCUS no Nanika”. It was basically a lot of postcards of their games, plus some other stuff. Here’s to another 10 years! ^o^

Gift has a giant Marisa doll (70cm tall) on sale this December. The price is gigantic too at 29800 yen. If you want something a little bit smaller, why not check out Rin and Len. They look so huggable!

On the same topic of Touhou, Griffon is releasing 1/8 scale figures of Flandre and Alice in February.

CharaAni has a bunch of mini figures from To Aru Majutsu no Index coming out in March. My favorite is Kuroko; That face just never gets old.

SKYTUBE’s 1/6 scale figure of Haruka from Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu (February, 14490 yen) doesn’t really look like her…

There’s dual CDs that came out on November 4th featuring collaborations by Niconico songwriters and singers. I love the cover art by Kogado Studio artist Shiro.

Have some tea with Azunyan.

The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi will premiere on February 6th. I’d rather watch the Nanoha movie.

Check out Tete’s independent anime short “Fumiko no Kokuhaku”. Nicely done.

Dream Party Osaka 2009 Fall is this Sunday. Should be more of the same stuff as last month in Tokyo.

The OP for Love Death 4 is out and it’s obvious what the focus is.

Webclap responses:
