BanG Dream! – Final Review

by 5 Comments

Artist: 刃天

A few months back, I shared my thoughts about Kidani Takaaki believing that idol boom will die and the band boom will happen. Of course, that never really went into fruition since girl band shows are not too different from idol anime.

Regardless, Bushiroad, the company behind the Love Live School Idol Festival mobile game decided to take gamble. They created a new franchise called BanG Dream focused on girl bands. They created an anime series to jump-start this trend. You might be asking yourself, did the anime succeeded in that goal? Not so much.

In recent years, there has been a shift to open-world type games such as Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with the advancements in graphics power to handle them.

It features a large world to explore while bringing new mechanics. How well did they execute this? Let’s find out.

Vita Capture Mod Review

As you know, I record footage with a Vita TV since it’s a cheap way to capture footage. While it’s tricky to record footage since the Vita TV use HDCP, it has some downfalls, namely compatibility. It’s basically a hit or miss. Sure, it will work perfectly with most roleplaying games, but games that uses the touch screen such as Kancolle Kai will not work. It will just give you an error message saying it’s not compatible. Considering that I have a number of games that do not work on the Vita TV, it was a disappointment.

Since the Vita TV killed off by Sony earlier this year, it’s expected that the compatibility will get worse. In short, I pulled the trigger to mod my older Vita and here are my thoughts.

Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru – Final Review

For a while, I felt that all the shows that tend to deal with mystery doesn’t quite live up to expectations since it takes a while until things become interesting. While shows like Hyouka and Gosick took a while to develop, they eventually became interesting towards the end.

At a glance, Sakurako-san no Ashimoto ni wa Shitai ga Umatteiru feels somewhat similar to Gosick as the teenaged male protagonist plays a supporting role while the female lead is the main detective as they solve various mysteries.

Miracle Girls Festival – Final Review

Believe it or not, I enjoy rhythm games a lot considering my musical background. I have played several rhythm games ranging from Dance Dance Revolution, Audiosurf, The Idolmaster and even Project Diva along with a few anime licensed ones.

When I heard about Miracle Girls Festival back in 2015, it’s basically a dream come true. It’s a crossover game featuring female characters (a good chunk from shows that has a female cast) from 11 franchises (Yuru Yuri, Kin-iro Mosaic, Wake Up Girls, Gochuumon to name a few) with the same gameplay like the Project Diva games. How well does it fare? Let’s find out.
