@cevn I'm happy that they could go all out with the CGI this time around but I didn't agree with the art direction and some of the characterization. Reinhard and Kircheis' designs I especially dislike, where are their luscious locks... they look like run-of-the-mill ikemen now :BlobhajSadReach: And since they decided to continue the plot with a movie series I kind of lost track of it

@otomegames Half of the LIs are male, and you can pick the protag's pronouns, so this counts as an otome according to the rules, right? 😁

I also discovered that BlerdyOtome is now mirroring her blog posts on the fediverse, so keeping up with the news will be a lot easier 🎉

@literalgrill @anime

The last 100+ episodes anime I've watched must've been all of the original Legend of The Galactic Heroes! It's a classic :blobcatcoffee:

Apart from that, Hunter x Hunter and Naruto

@Elevator7009sAlt I think it might be the latter, judging by the steam page and apparent number of wishlists🤔 But I'm happy to see more JP indies regardless

@yuri Synopsis:

Magical girls are a specific class of worker that has spent years mastering the drawing of magic from their planet’s five moons. They use this magic to fight creatures of darkness that congregate in the no-man's-land between cities. Kotori, a plucky new magical girl, hopes to find a job in one of the famous guilds of Larimar City. During a test for a guild, she and her familiar Brie Butternuggets will meet Kaida and Gigi, who are on a mission of their own for the Songbird Guild.
