Maybe I should have watched the OVA before playing the game; at least then I would have known who the characters were.Kurisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132568197501054206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-13124369265366133572017-05-23T23:20:24.639-04:002017-05-23T23:20:24.639-04:00Villgust is something that came up from time to ti...Villgust is something that came up from time to time when I was researching Bikkuriman and its variants/influence (a series of character stickers with a story that came with wafers). I ended up glossing over it in favor of a few other things, but this has made me give it another look...<br /><br />The OVA is very nice looking, and has probably the best renditions of these character designs. This was part of the SD boom of that era (alongside the rather similar SD Knight Gundam), and they're a smidge bigger in this version, but retain that compact charm. It seems to be a prequel of sorts, since while it's called a parallel world, Shun is completely absent and there's no inter-world transportation, just the eight folks from the first two parties. It's the first time the two groups encounter each other.<br /><br />I rewatched it today, remembering I never actually saw the second episode. It is basically good, largely on account of its looks, but not great. The characters have personality and there is a sense of humor (including your usual anime perv outs - nothing terribly original here). It's apparent the animators had fun with the bad guys, especially the silly second in command wizard guy. Not a bad way to spend an hour, but ultimately the story is largely forgettable. Worth the time if you like the sheer look of it, though.<br /><br />It's also clear how popular the cat girl is, as she get no shortage of screen time and the first ED is all her.<br /><br />For funsies, here's the original anime promo video for the franchise (the models featured in the intro are not the original gasphapon though, of course):<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2rcwUzRUx8Kicksvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948917454292152157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079946447102636111.post-14369422645399664452017-05-23T17:31:17.146-04:002017-05-23T17:31:17.146-04:00Okay.

It could have been blander), so I hope we at least get some varied reasons for the shitiness of the next few games.GuilhermeKinnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655971852574637878noreply@blogger.com
