Hello! Welcome back to another post! For this post I will be talking about Japanese Otomate titles. Though more or less just ones that I wouldn't mind being translated to English. In this post I will be talking about two titles, out of their newest releases through out 2017 and so far this year. Please keep in mind that I would have others as well, though these are just the two that first came to mind.
The first one I will be talking about is "Shiro to Kuro no Arisu", which translates to "Alice of Black and White". This is an "Alice in Wonderland" based game, and you can play as two heroines with different routes attached.
Synopsis (Link, https://vndb.org/v19716 ):
Route: White ✦
The sky, covered in clouds — the World of White. On a rainy day, the heroine Airi, a high school second year student who lives a peaceful life, meets a certain young man on her way home. The young man, drenched in the rain without an umbrella, tells Airi that he’s ‘come to meet her.’ In fear and confusion, Airi runs away from him, but ends up getting caught. Suddenly, she finds herself in a place she has no recollection of. The same young man introduces himself as ‘the Black Rabbit, Rain’ and tells her this: ‘Alice, you will now become the queen of this world——’
Route: Black ✦
A blue sky with no edges — the World of Black. A sudden coup d’état takes place in the land that the second heroine, Luna, rules as the queen. The Queen’s advisors — the Black Rabbit, Rain, and the White Rabbit, Snow — who saw this as a serious threat, executed a plan which involved Luna taking refuge in the World of White while a candidate for the new queen would be brought back to the World of Black. And so, Luna was brought to the World of White, and Airi to the World of Black. The two girls who swap places; the secret behind their two worlds is……?
(END)
Obviously from my other blogs, I would want this due to the "Alice in Wonderland" theme. Though the story also interests me and it seems to be a different sort of twist (like vampires?). The next game I want to mention is "Library Cross ∞". This one is actually a mobile otome game, but besides your main heroine and main boys. There is also some of their old otome characters in this from their more older/previous games!
Synopsis (Link, https://vndb.org/r53199 ):
You have all been chosen to complete this book. In order to do so, you must defeat ayakashi. If the book is not completed, all of you will die.
You have until…1pm.
You awake in a world you’ve never seen before. When you look up, you notice a huge clock with 13 hours marked on it. Lying next to you is a ‘white book’ that is familiar to you. You find 9 young men trapped in the same library as you. Though you try to escape through a large set of doors at the back of the room, it has been firmly locked.
To escape from this world, you have no choice but to follow the orders of a mysterious book……
In addition to the game’s original characters, characters and the worlds from 5 of Otomate’s previous games will also be making an appearance. (Hakuouki, AMNESIA, NORN9, Moujuu-tsukai to Ohime-sama, Yunohana SpRING!)
(END)
Now of course I only know the characters from the ones that got localized, but I still find it cool and charming! Not only that but I'm kinda trash for themes like this for an otome game, with like this mystical element. I also know that some of you must be like, "but another mobile otome?". I honestly get what you guys are saying, but I like the concept for this one and to me it doesn't really seem like a mobile otome at all. Though the down fall with this is not getting references for when they cross over with a game.
In the end though I do know that for some people Otomate is a hit or miss or people either straight up like it or not. Honestly probably looking at what people say and think about this company probably doesn't help either. So I'm neutral about them and try not to think about them a lot. Though this will be then end of this post! Please comment down below the ones you want Otomate to translate as well as your feelings towards them! Or else talk to you guys later!
