Da Capo II: まぶしくてみえない

'歌姫ななか～

I was bored, so I transcribed Nanaka’s D.C. II image song by ear… You can get a low-quality encode here. A few parts were quite iffy, especially “愛すべきと思う時を”. Continue reading →

Da Capo II: ななかでラヴ～

Posted on May 28, 2006 by DarkMirage

'Nanaka~

I finished Nanaka’s path for Da Capo II today. Nanaka forever!

Although Nanaka’s power is similar to Kotori’s, her story is somewhat different. In many ways, it can even be said that she is better than Kotori. (forgive me Kotori. ;_;)

Well, I’m too lazy to write a proper review now, especially since I haven’t played through any other paths, which I will only do after a full walkthrough is released. For now, here’s a bunch of pictures of Nanaka! イエー！～

Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~Nanaka~

Re: Possible Japanese Censorship Law

Posted on May 23, 2006 by DarkMirage

I wrote too much while replying to tj han’s comments on my previous post about this issue, so I decided to make another one.

Once again, I would like to stress that I am not a lolicon. I am disgusted by loliporn. I am losing a lot of credentials as an anti-loli activist on the rizon IRC network by arguing this case, but it’s a matter of principle at stake here.

In his last comment, he compared my argument that thoughts should not be made criminal to the education system, so I shall continue from there.

Possible Japanese Censorship Law

Posted on May 21, 2006 by DarkMirage

Things like this piss me off. Japanese National Police Agency’s New Law against “Manga, Anime, Game Expression”

Today, I got an email from a Japanese creator, letting us know about the new law currently being discussed to be applied by Japanese National Police Agency. This is a law to restrict expression of Manga, Anime, Game, that are:
# Image that show sexual expression of characters that appears to be under 18.
(Ex: The character does not have under hair, or character appears to be an under 18 school age child.)
# Image that show characters appears or seems to be under age, that are engaging in sexual act weather or not if genital part is censored.

My thoughts after the jump. Continue reading →

Countdown to D.C. II

Posted on May 16, 2006 by DarkMirage

Nine more days (or so, depending on the postal service) till Nanaka arrives at my doorstep. Yes, I am talking about the limited editon of Da Capo II coming out soon on the 26th of May. :D

Nanaka

On another note, according to this site: “Myuu Tanaka”, the voice credit for Nanaka, is actually Hitomi Nabatame. She is more well-known for her roles as Yuuna Miyama in Maburaho, Aruceid Brunestud in Shingetsutan Tsukihime and Mikoto Suou in School Rumble.

She also voiced Yuma in To Heart 2 under a pseudonym for the PC version.
