Shall We Date?: Hero in Love, Hayate Shiranui Review


I was so excited for Hayate's route because he was such a mystery. From the prologue and just the looks of them, I could tell that Billy would be a playboy along with every possible American stereotype they could cram in to his personality, and Soh would be cold, strict, disciplined, and it would take a while for him to open up about his feelings. But Hayate, besides reminding me of David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days, was hard to figure out. I couldn't tell what he would be like even from the other guys' routes, and it just upped his cool, mysterious factor by a thousand. It reminded me of developing a crush on a stranger.

Like right now I have a thing for this dude at the local coffee shop. I obviously know nothing about him besides what I've learned in our brief interactions when I order a 16 oz frozen Mr. B (the BEST DRINK EVER), which means I have learned his name, that he has tattoos, gorgeous blue eyes, and his voice sounds like sexiness. But I like to imagine he plays guitar, is extremely intelligent and witty, has great taste in music as well as a preference for chubby blonde girls, and that he lives in a funky loft somewhere downtown with his dog.

Basically the embodiment of my barista crush. Let's just get married already.

But he could just as easily work part time at the coffee shop while living with his parents and smoking a copious amount of weed...or he could be a serial killer who deals meth..or maybe he doesn't like The Beatles or Brand New....or he may not know the difference between their, there, and they're. Building something up in your mind can very quickly cause a whole lot of disappointment

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

Vegas is the Reason I Have Been Absent

I'll be back soon with reviews for Hayate and Ocean from Hero in Love and My Fairy Tales respectively, some Dreamy Days and Baddest Bidder (my first Voltage reviews!), and Mononoke Kiss. How exciting.

Plus there have been so many other things going on....English dub actors announced for Attack on Titan (Matthew Mercer as Levi and J Michael Tatum as Erwin? Be still my beating heart!), I've got not one but two cons coming up within the next 2 months (one of which will find me face to face with Vic Mignogna), I received my Kamisama Kiss Goddess Edition pack from Funimation which I think I shall review, and they are making Drammatical Murder into an anime! SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I've been in Vegas for a bit now, and the place I'm staying at charges for wifi like it's the damn dark ages. Who charges for wifi anymore? This place apparently. They have free wifi in their bar but like I really want to sit in there surrounded by drunks who smell like cigarettes while I try and write inappropriate reviews of dating sim games. Though really, a shitty bar in Vegas seems like the ideal location to do such a thing.

Random Vegas pics!!

I celebrated my Irish heritage in Vegas for St. Patty's Day.

One day Mirage, I will stay in you.

Shall We Date?: Can't Say No, Kaoru Akizaki Review


After the craziness that was the two other routes in Can't Say No, I was prepared for absolute madness when I started playing Kaoru's route. Yet also, in all honesty, he's such a douchecanoe in the other routes that I wasn't really looking forward to playing his story at all. Out of obligation though, I played his route and I was actually pretty disappointed. And very, very bored.
