Thank you all for participating in the December 2021 COTM Poll! I know it's been a poll and survey-heavy month. :)

The results for this last poll were pretty interesting! I expected a lot of continued support for Cupid Parasite and Dairoku, and new route releases but... well, I'll let the results speak for themselves. XD

I present to you our December 2021 otome favorites:

  • Yosuga (Olympia Soirée)

Commercial MC of the Month: Lynette Mirror [REPEAT]

• #2 - TWO-WAY TIE
  • Akitsu Shino (Dairoku)
  • Olympia (Olympia Soirée)

Commercial SC of the Month: Claris Tia [REPEAT]

• #2 - Etsuya Tokiwa (Dairoku)

Commercial VA of the Month: Furukawa Makoto as Allen, Cupid Parasite [NEW]

• #2 - Toyonaga Toshiyuki as Tokitsugu, Dairoku
• #3 - FOUR-WAY TIE
  • Suzuki Tatsuhisa as Akuroou, Dairoku
  • Kimura Ryohei as Gill, Cupid Parasite
  • Ishikawa Kaito as Hikage, Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly
  • Enoki Jun'ya as Ryuki, Cupid Parasite

So, Cupid Parasite and Dairoku did lead the commercial game charge, but Yosuga still snuck in there somehow. XD I love how the parasites seem to each be getting their turn in the spotlight. Last month, I believe Allan, Ryuki, and Shelby were hits while this month we see Gill as a favorite. Akuroou and Tokitsugu were Dairoku faves in the LI and VA categories, respectively. And I totally agree with multiple commenters about how hot the Dairoku side characters are. Phroar. Finally, I was tickled to see Hikage arise and triumph in the VA category, despite being from an older game.

Hello, weeb voice actor fan with too much time on his hand here. I understand that this post might seem redundant to some people since there are plenty of signs that are already pointing towards the Omen returning in some shape or form in the mini expansion, but there seem to still be some people who aren't sold on that idea, so either way, just treat this as some sort of an affirmation towards that.

AFAIK, voice actors in Japan are paid by sessions for their work in games, so developers, especially for mobile games, would usually try to get the most mileage out of that by having them record lines for multiple characters, even ones that may not be appearing immediately, particularly so with games such as Shadowverse, where each card only has a few lines. So with this in mind, let's look at the Omens with their voice actors, and see if we can find any roles they have in Omen of Storms:

Mjerrabaine = Nakata Joji = Devilarmed Bladesman

Lishenna = Kayano Ai = Deathcat Reaper (Supersonic Breakthrough alternate art)

Rulenye = Toyonaga Toshiyuki = Unicorn Warrior/Messenger of the Skies

Marwynn = Chiba Shigeru = Draconic Mercenary

Galmieux = Tadokoro Azusa = Doll Lady

Izudia = Otsuka Hochu

Valnerik = Yuzuki Ryoka = Sword General

Octrice = Inoue Marina = Temple Healer/Nomadic Conductor

Raio = Koyama Rikiya = Jetpack Gunner (Secrets of Onmyodo alternate art)

Gilnelise = Asakawa Yuu = Covetous Witch

So as we can see, out of the 10 voice actors for the Omens, 9 of them have at least one role in Omen of Storms, with Izudia's voice actor being the only one missing. Now could this just be a coincidence where Cygames just happen to decide to hire 9 of them for this single expansion? Could the 2 neutral Legendaries being missing just be for fun? Maybe, we'll never truly know until we see it.

I don't claim this to be a definitive proof of the Omens returning in the mini expansion, or in the near future if they some how decide to not bring them back after all these elaborate setups, but I'm pretty convinced at this point that that's what is going to happen. I could also go on and expand the predictions to other retrains or RoB characters that haven't made it in yet, as I take another huff of copium and claim that Amalia is finally coming in the near future because they have Inoue Mar

Perhaps the most world-famous rendition of Oberon, as the faerie king in Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
In this play, Oberon is depicted as a character wielding immense power, with a childish and selfish disposition.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play about the one-night mayhem starring the lovebirds Lysander and Hermia.
In this story, Oberon has a falling out with his queen Titania over her new changeling, and in retaliation, he creates a potion that makes a person fall in love with the first living thing they see when they wake up in order to make the changeling his.
However, because of Oberon's attendant Robin Goodfellow's tendency to slack off, the potion was also given to Lysander and Dimitrius...

There are also other stories that exist involving Oberon.
In the 15th century poem "Huon de Bordeaux," he was portrayed as the king of the faerie forest and a magic user with the ability to grant all wishes.

Hello Everybody! I just got done with a Rewatch that was really fucking long, and since I’m obviously insane (And if I don’t do this now I probably won’t be able to do it again for a while) I’m gonna start another long one! And after a full on Shounen, I think it’s time to go into something ever so slightly more low key… yet arguably even more bizarre, depending on your point of view. That of course being Durarara!! (The exclamation marks are actually part of the title).

Since this show is now 11 years old (Gosh, now I feel old) I guess some of you newbies need to be brought up to speed to see if this catches your interest. So…

#What is Durarara!!?

Based on the Light Novel Series by Narita Ryohgo, Durarara!! tells the story of the city of Ikebukuro. Now Ikebukuro is a real life place, but obviously this is an Anime so things don’t quite match up. That said it’s not that different from the real life town, it’s just that it has the uncanny ability to attract a bunch of… unusual people. Now, you’ve got your usual suspects, like The High School Students, the Otakus, the shady dude the back-alley doctor and a bunch of street gangs all identified by their colors, however there’s a few things that seem… odd. First is the legend of a so called black rider, there’s some weird bartender who’s freakishly strong, and also the subject of a mysterious gang known as the Dollars… a gang that is described as colorless and anonymous.

In spite of what I made it sound like, Durarara!! is not a mystery Anime. It is however one with multiple twists and turns. Make no mistake, everyone here is like a clown, behind the face we see lies their real faces, and sometimes what we see is not pretty. Additionally, the show is primarily an ensemble piece. While there is a character who, by the author’s own definition, is the main character, but o

*wipes sweat off forehead* IT IS DONE!!

Welcome to one of the greatest Fire Emblem-related treasures I’ve ever just so happened to find in the wild: a TEN page interview from Nindori (Nintendo Dream) magazine with none other than Claude’s Japanese voice actor, Mr. Toshiyuki Toyonaga!!

What I thought would be a quick, fun little project before I got to my big goal of translating the FE3H drama CD, ended up being an epic journey that spanned 9 months.

Being a translator is wild. You NEVER know what project will end up being the one that tests your limits. Turns out this one was mine. It just so happened to use language that was very complicated for me.

As a result, this is one of the translations I’m most proud of yet, so please enjoy it extra hard! =3

If you read my original page-by-page tumblr posts, then there really isn’t any reason to re-read this final Google Doc version if you don’t want to. Nothing changed aside from some super minor typos and formatting issues.

Full story: last November, I put in a big order of things I wanted off Amazon Japan, so I could justify the DHL shipping price to the US. The big ticket items were the new FE Drama CDs for Three Houses and Awakening, but among the other things I ordered was an issue of Nindori. I used to buy Japanese magazines while I was in Japan for the bonus item, and then I’d end up ignoring the actual magazine because I had no time to read it... Well this time, I couldn’t do that. I soon found a treasure worth way more than just the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity poster I originally wanted: a TEN page interview from Claude’s Japanese VA. I immediately dropped everything to translate it... but it turned out to just so happen to be a VERY difficult translation for me, and I have only just now polished off the final draft for all to read.

Please enjoy, FE:3H fans!!!!
