Re: Visual Novels
something from the previous decade, just finished To Heart PSE. (the all-ages, full-voiced PS-to-PC port, since i couldn't find the 18+, no voice, Win98 version. )
played it mostly to see how the anime compared, and where To Heart 2 came from. nothing to write home about, but it's good enough to spend all those idle minutes/hours with. i'd give it a 7-8 / 10. also, its one of those very few VNs i've come across that if ever an H-scene were to be included, said scene wouldn't feel out-of-place, or used to a fan service end. take it without and its still good.
though.. giving ayako kawasumi and/or yui horie H-dialog begs the question..

Re: Visual Novels
Funnily enough, I recently have seen the first two discs of To Heart. Like you said, it is alright but nothing to write home about. From the anime, the story seems a little too kiddy-ish to have any H-scenes. It feels like the not-as-good, dumbed-down version of Clannad.
As for the seiyuu thing, I know that some seiyuu have done those kinds of things before or have come rather close. *ahem* Ecchi. *ahem* Likewise, I know that at least one did a hentai by mistake because they were not given the information about the job. In other words, their agency messed this one up. Also, with the crossover between anime and VNs, sometimes you will get to hear your favorite seiyuu in a VN. It just is kind of rare.

Re: Visual Novels
@ainsoph: its actually embarrassing that i didn't come across this sooner, but apparently TH's first full-voice version (for the PS) was released about a week before the anime aired, say 1999/03/25 and 1999/04/01. so i don't know, something spawned simultaneously by Leaf, or one was retconned to match the other? how often do you get the same VAs across different platforms anyway? setting aside how Leaf pulled off the same stunt with TH2 that is..

Re: Visual Novels
As I said, it happens, but it is generally only for very big titles and the more well-known companies like Key and Type-MOON.

Re: Visual Novels
@Yoake: the kind of laughter that carries quite the meaning.. now i'm even more curious..
@Cosmic: actually that helps me with choosing possible goods from all the mediocrity.
apologies in advance for any in here who isn't particularly fond of Circus. i just happened on this somewhat late, but still early for the real thing.. suspending all manga-, LN- and VN-reading as well as anime-watching, for here comes DC3's 体験版 (trial version) !!
~perpetual repeat~ キミにささげる あいのマホウ
edit:after some 8hrs and royally screwing my sleep patterns yet again, finally cleared dc3's 体験版. basically its set some 20~ years after the events of dc2, and around 70~ years after dc1; based on in-game month-and-day info i kind of figured it to be the year 2072. now onto the spoilers.this is one of BT's resident circus fanboys (not sure if the only one), signing out.. time for some zzz..

Re: Visual Novels
BTW, those who played Material Brave, how did you all find it?

Re: Visual Novels
@Cosmic: this Material Brave, you mean?? by finding you do mean where to buy it right? maybe this should work, if you haven't already tried.. there are of course other ways, which i'm pretty sure i shouldn't discuss here..
its been a good 5-6 years since i picked up my 1st title, and now i can FINALLY bid farewell to the Shuffle! franchise on a good note after clearing Love Rainbow.of course, there's always the possibility of Navel milking the title one last time for its 10th anniversary in 2014..
next up, probably koichoco since there must be SOME meaning to it's getting an anime this summer. then sakura no reply for being such a blatant DCII rip-off.
