Game Review : 9-Nine Episode 2

Dear All, 

This is the first visual novel game that I've finished after a long time and I am so happy about it. Let just get to it. The game is 9 Episode 2. This game is the continuation from the visual novel game that I've played a while ago. At first I thought to wait until all the episodes have been completed but now I am glad that I play this one. The story is much better than the first one. 

The story continue from the first one in which our MC is trying to find who is the user of Evil Eye. In this story, we get more information about the legends from the anime. Unfortunately certain things are still being kept secret but I prefer that way since this story is not finished yet.

Now we get name and face for our "boss". And I can say that the villains are quite interesting even though they are not living up to the potential. I mean it could have been much better but I supposed it was done to make the story in episode 3 better. Anyway, I really like the graphic. It feels much better than the first one. And the MC feels more mature too. I have better impressions toward the characters compare than the first one. The story have good pacing too so you don't get bored in the middle of the story. But the ending is a little anti climax. It is a little simple for my liking though.

Personally I really like how they make the story stand on each own between episodes while still part of the same big story. That way you don't feel any cliffhanger toward each story. Of course, it would be much better if you play the game from the first one so you can understand the story better. I cannot wait to play 9-Nine episode 3 when it goes out. Hopefully it won't be too long. 

Overall, I really recommend this game for people whom have play episode 1 and people whom just want to enjoy story with combination of magic and little romance. 

Rating : 8 of 10 stars

Dream

Once I have a dream

Dream to reach the sky

Seeing the world

Not from a far 

But side by side

But dream is just dream

It began beautifully

And end painfully

Leaving behind past memory

And deep regret

I want to achieve my dream

But it was not possible

It's beyond my reach

No matter how hard I try 

It just never be mine

I have to wake up 

And face reality

That I fail to achieve my dream

Live a miserable life

I cannot forgive myself

A path open in front of me

With no way to achieve my dream 

I can only follow with empty heart

And fill it with new memory 

Even though I cannot break free

Unable to truly accept nor deny

What supposed to be my reality

Hiding my pain 

Hiding my dream 

I lose myself

Regards, 

Angela

Nobunaga Shimazaki

Dear All, 

It have been a very long time since I last write in this blog. I am really sorry for that but I have no intention to abandon this blog. Now I want to write about one of my favorite seiyu (Japanese voice actor). His name is Nobunaga Shimazaki. Yes, he shares the same surname with popular Nobunaga Oda. Because of that, he was often teased by his friends. According to him, the name was chosen to bring luck. Anyway, he certainly have that luck. 

Nobunaga Shimazaki was born on December 6th, 1988 in Japan. He is from Miyagi prefecture. Right now, he is affiliated with Aoni production, one of the biggest seiyu agency in Japan. So far, he has good career with Aoni. You can see that from his role. Several of his best roles are Haruka Nanase (free!), Ace of Diamond (Satoru Furuya), Black Clover (Yuno), Parasyte (Shinichi Izumi), Fate/Grand Order (Ritsuka Fujimaru), Fruits Basket 2019 (Yuki Sohma), and so many more. You guys can see his complete filmography at Nobunaga Shimazaki. He has good voices that makes people want to keep listening to his voices. His hard work and talent certainly not go unrecognized. He wins best new actor at 7th seiyu awards. He is also one of the guest for Otakon 2019. Despite this, unfortunately he hasn't make the career in Singing yet even though he has sing many character songs before. Hope his collaboration with Gakuto Kajiwara with song "possible" can become a new beginning for his singing career. 

Nobunaga Shimazaki often been called Zaki by his fans and friends. Since Nobunaga Shimazaki is cheerful and smile often, he has many friends in seiyuu industry. One of his best friend is Yoshitsugu Matsuoka. He also loves to play gacha and tweet with nearly 1 million followers. He is well known for spending a lot of money for FGO. Hope it worth it. For people who want to follow him, his tweeter account is @nobunaga_s . He likes to tweet about many things. 

I think that's for today. From now on, I hope I can keep posting more often. Thank you for all the support. 

Best Regards,

Angela

Purify

There’s one sinner

Deaf to all true words

Take all the risks

Based on her belief

One sin lead to another

Until it hits it’s rock bottom

Life is hard

Words are harsh

Universe has punishments

I seem on my very limit

Tears poured out

My heart broken to pieces

I shout my agony to you

My deep sorrow and repentance

It’s all killing me inside

All the best I had is gone

You’re the only one I had left

Purify me heart

Wash my dirty soul

There I could be pure to you

-Selene-

Refresh

Somehow 

You just need to stop doing

You need to stop thinking

Just look out

and take a deep breath

Everything will be vanished one day

There is nothing..

Refresh yourself.

-Selene.

Game : 9-Nine episodes 1

Dear All, 

I know that it seems that I have abandoned this blog. But please rest assured, I still need this blog to share my passion about game and other things. It's been a long time since I finished visual novel game. That game is 9-nine episode 1. Maybe from the name, you can infer that this game will have several episodes. But don't worry you can still enjoy this game separately. 

You can find about 9-nine episodes 1 summary using wikipedia. Basically 9-nine episodes 1 is game with magic and fantasy theme. It is chunige. The story itself is quite ordinary. But of course like every other chunige game, the point lie in the execution. Personally for me one of the reason that I choose game to play is the art and story. And I can say that art in this game doesn't disappoint. I mean the game really put the efforts to make great arts. I cannot say that it's that "real" but still quite good. The characters itself is quite good. I mean cliche and yet also not cliche. I can say that I like certain characters better than others. The song itself is quite ordinary. I don't remember anything special that I want to download and listen repeatedly. Despite not so good song, I appreciate that you can choose to hear main characters voice. It makes the game more enjoyable. 

As with any my chosen visual novel game, the most important part is the story. Personally I really like the story. It was genuinely interesting. It tries to create engaging story that keep our interest. Unfortunately because of the setting, this game only serves as the prologue for subsequent episodes. That's the reason why developer choose that kind of name. So, player will know that the story is not over. They even make third wallpaper for the subsequent episodes but you cannot play the game with that wallpaper because well the game has not been made yet. It functions like teaser. Talk about tricking people LOL. 

Anyway, despite all of it, I still recommend this game for chunige lovers. But for people who want to play the game from the beginning until the end of story better wait until all the episodes have been released. I give this game 7 stars rating because it was quite short. 

Rating : 7 of 10

Innocent

People say I am special
I have power to see destiny
And so I begin my journey
To create my own country

I need power
To protect my beloved ones
Sacrificing other people
I lose my innocence

Wonder where it gone wrong
I fulfill my dream
And left with deep regret
To gain something mean lose another thing

Doing the right thing
Protecting the weak and find peaceful world
How can that be wrong
Even if there's countless sufferings in the way


Regards,
Angela

Broken

Your words are empty

It was all lies

I fall into your sweet words

And then I was broken 

You hurt me
and left me behind
With life full of sorrows
I know I really was broken

You broke me
Thorough and thorough
With nothing but hollow inside
Cannot feel and yet full of pain

Still even then 

This broken body and hearts

Will find the way

To become whole again

Regards, 

Angela

Your mate

Your Mate..

Since the moment I know you
I know you are one of a kind
Some people said
Mate is destined to be for us

It is true that
when we're looking
we find nothing
It will come
when we expect nothing

I don't know
how long our destination will be over
but one thing I know
I'll cherish our moments..
