Blogs from a Disadvantaged Otaku - 1

Let me explain a little bit.  I'm not a hardxcore weeaboo otaku who thinks Japan is so super kawaii-sugoi-desu!!!!!!!1one  I'm more of a casual otaku who just happens to thoroughly enjoy dating sims.  Seeing as how most of these haven't been translated into English, I can't play many of them.  And since I don't really plan on learning Japanese (much more interested in learning German, actually), I figured here would be a good place to blog about the dating sims that either are in English that I play, or the ones in Japanese that just looked too good to wait for *coughOtomeGamescough*.

Currently, I'm making my way through Da Capo 2.  Having played the original, I can say with great assurance that the sequel is a ton better than the original.  Too many girls in the original, each individual storyline took forever, and the characters were mind-numbingly bland.  Don't get me wrong, I like when individual storylines tend to be longer... just not when there's seven cliched girls to choose from.  Thankfully, this game only has 5 total.  And in order to break up the monotony of going through each one and then starting over with another, I'm just playing through the first part of the game, saving that storyline, and then starting another one's.  I hope that made sense.

So far I've done this with Anzu's line and I'm going through it with Koko's line.  >.>" I tried doing Otome's line first, but then I found out that you had to unlock her first (why do they give you her option if you have to unlock her?)

There's this one character, though, who I really want, but for some reason isn't an obtainable option.  Curse you game designers for making an adorable moe tease and then making her unavailable.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Akane.  You can't get her because the game designers hate you.

So yeah, nothing special so far, but I plan on continuing this blog series, so I'll keep you posted when I can/when I feel like it.  For now, though, I have an awkward heroine whose story line needs playing.
