Commentary never ends!
There's actually two new Lunargyros pages up from yesterday, and this marks the end of this chapter! Big ol' things will be happening in the next chapter...
So I went ahead and started Okamiden, and I may have to take a break from the levelgrinding and item-grinding in Dissidia 012 for awhile, because Okamiden is adoooooorable. And yes, had to spout off commentary while I was playing...
- Eeeeee just the opening music makes me happy
- I have two modes: Old Hand and Greenhorn
- Guess we’ll go with Greenhorn for now
- Okay, backstory about Orochi
- The voices are pretty much the same as the original game
- Huh, kinda left out the bit about Shiranui turning to stone
- And then Ammy sailed away on her god spaceship!
- Nine months later, huh?
- Man, we could’ve had a longer-lasting eternal peace there
- Uh-oh, demons!
- EVIL PURPLE CLOUD COMES
- Oh Issun, you entrepeneur!
- Hello little Ayame!
- ...Actually that’s probably true of Ammy
- Suddenly, THINGS
- Demons I think!
- IIIIIIT’S CHIBITERASU
- SO TEENY
- SERIOUSLY THE TEENIEST
- I wish there was a way to pause tho
- I drawed a sun!
- Issun: .....Wait who’s the father?!
- Chibi: BARK
- Okay, so we’re goin’ to Kamiki Village!
- Huh, so the brush has a time limit? How will that work?
- Once again, humans can’t see the god markings
- I see places to use cherry bomb...
- So I can’t control the camera?
- I can headbutt, yay!
- Did you just make a GI-Joe reference, Issun
- She has to jump upstairs!
- Okay, we’ve explored, now let’s carry on
- Probably will be using those flowers later, once I learn Bloom
- Shinshu Field!
- Stray bead found! ARE THERE 100 BEADS IN THIS GAME, TOO
- Come on Issun, lemme explore more!
- Oh well, in Kamiki Village now
- Teee hello Mr. Orange!
- SUSANOOOOO
- Even has his theme song!
- Man, if this was nine months later, Kushi and Susano must’ve been shacking up a whiiiile before the events of Okami!
- *visits ALL THE PLACES*
- Mushi hasn’t changed a bit!
- Let’s all do the KONOHANA SHUFFLE
- Hi thar Sakyua
- Chibi: No, I’m just a bitty!
- So that means Chibi is a guy?
- Chibi: *is adorable over everything*
- Huuuh, Issun’s not coming with?
- But Issun is so lol!
- If not sometimes annoying!
- D8!
- LIGHTNING STRUCK SAKUYA’S TREE
- YOU CAN’T DO THAT
- Time for BRUSH POWER?!
- It’s the dragon god!
- Ohhh, we trace the constellations instead of drawing stars this time
- OMG IT IS
- A BABY DRAGON GOD
- TWO OF THEM
- OMG
- THEY ARE SO CUTE
- If there are going to be baby gods every time I get a brush, it will be BEST EVER
- YAY I FIXED THE TREE
- Now I just gotta learn Bloom!
- Everyone turned to stone again! D:
- Seriously Issun, you should remember this from last time!
- I gotta learn blooooom!
- HERE COMES THE SUN, DOO DOO DO DOO
- Yeah, let’s not have an “And I must scream” moment, here
- I wonder if I’ll be able to use brush techniques in battles, too
- I SAVED YOUR SCARECROW
- HOLY HENS AND CROWS
- Okay, gotta make sure I close a line when I draw
- Yaaay I got praise!
- Okay, so I have to find Kuni...
- And now there is a big rock in my way
- AHAHAHA ADORABLE LITTLE SON OF SUSANO AND KUSHI
- Chibi: LET’S PLAY :D
- And Kuni can see he’s a god!
- This bitty looks like a chibi Sakuya
- Oh poor Kuni!
- Awww gotta say bye to Issun
- And now paired with Kuni!
- Chibi: How about you ride on me, dude
- ADORABLE BITTY PARTNERSHIP
- IT’S THE CIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIGHT
- Hey we’re in the spirit world place
- Huuh, evil rocks.
- Ooookay, that’s how that works
- Evil purple battle smoke!
- Kinda hard to see my partner’s health in all that
- Ack, spikes!
- Urk, can’t cross those spots
- YAY A CONSTELLATION
- PENGUIN GODS
- BABY PENGUIN GODS
- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
- This is a brush that did not exist last time!
- I’m guessing this will probably replace catwalk?
- On to the next part
- Ouch! Stupid spikes!
- Little bit of puzzle-solving in this area
- *fixes the sword*
- YESSSSSSSS MY FAVORITE GOD IS COMING UP
- ....IT’S
- BITTY
- TACHIGAMIS
- DRAGGING A SWORD
- THIS IS THE BESTEST EVER
- Power slashed through all the demons!
- Chibi: THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE
- Time to power slash through rocks!
- Yaaaay, more praise equals more health!
- Oh good, found the sake
- TIME FOR DRINKS
- With our powers combined, we can CUT UP ROCKS
- Huh, won’t even let you go into the cursed zones now
- There is a hole in this rock!
- Oh, that just leads to where I came from at the start
- A lot more use of regeneration in this game!
- HERE’S SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP YOU
- Yes I want to get into Hana Valley
- I obtained some pottery?!
- oh hai Susano
- Awwwwwwwwuuhhh
- Susano is the strongest dad!
- I hear froggies
- EVIL froggies
- Come on let’s find us some bloooooom
- Here draws the suuun
- You found a tunnel!
- And this place is full of evil pink froggies D:
- Although with some slight differences, the game is pretty much the same as Okami so far
- Aww man, totally didn’t mean to step on that
- I AM PROBLEM-SOLVING AND IT’S FUN
- Secret passage thingie found!
- It’s an evil clam demon!
- Hmm this should be interesting
- Yaaaay it’s the monkey god!
- OMG THE LITTLE BITTY MONKEY
- HE HAS A LITTLE DRUM
- BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
- Yaay found all the pottery stuff!
- Argh, I thought blooming all the trees would open this area...
- Hmm, I guess I missed a tree...
- Oh, I DID miss a tree
- DURRRHEY
- Let’s go into the scary zone!
- ~TEAMWORK~
- Hmmm, this flower won’t open
- Hey our crystal is floatin’ away!
- Ohhh it makes the dead flowers bloom
- And yeah, same as the last game
- OH WHAT A CONVENIENT PLACE FOR EVIL SPIRITS
- So these demons are basically monkeys with yaoi paddles
- I suspect a boss battle is down here
- CHIBI ON CHIBI
- GIANT MEAN FROG
- With an eyepatch
- Noooo Kuni don’t run away!
- You were so brave before, come back!
- Okay, THAT’S how you beat up boss
- There he is!
- TEAMWORK, AGAIN
- BEAT UP THE UGLY FROG
- Woah, the hell was that
- And the shiny mirror is ours!
- OMG they did
- A little dance
- THE CUTEST
- IT’S A BLOOM SEQUENCE
- I LOVE THESE SO HARD
- Gets ALL THE PRAISE
- Which means more ink!
- Oh, that was nifty!
- And no more frog demons!
- ...Geebus Susano you were holding that gate the whole time?!
- YOU NUTBALL
- Awwwwuuh
- Susano you’re such a good dad ;_;
- Okay talking to the girl D:
- Of course Chibi can fix it!
- HE’S A BABY GOD
- Aha, thought it was Sakuya-related
- And suddenly we’re at her tree
- JUST A FETCH QUEST
- YAAAY ANOTHER BLOOM SEQUENCE
- Now we are ready for EVEN MORE ADVENTURE
- Hmmm, and I have less than an hour to do it
- Ooh got both health and ink that time!
- Even fixing Mrs. Orange’s drying pole again...
- Leeet’s go to the store!
- *buys some holy bones*
- Sure you’re a real descendant, Nagi!
- What, he was adopted?
- NOW THIS IS WEIRD
- AMNESIA PLOT
- Awwwuh Chibi
- Iiiiit’s Issun!
- Oh Issun what’re you up to
- Let’s go look around Shinshu Field!
- ...Wait, Ryoshima Coast? That’s kinda far, innit?
- And we fix this tree, too!
- Which means...MORE BLOOM SEQUENCES
- It’s an SOS smoke signal...
- Let’s go give pottery guy his stuff!
- Who gives us praise!
- Woah I suddenly found an underground shrine!
- It seems I need the fire brush in order to use it
- Yeesh that enemy was hard to beat
- Ahaa, this is our excuse for why Chibi doesn’t seem to learn the lilypad brush
- Picked up another fetch quest
- Found another shrine! Can I do anything here?
- Yes I can!
- Okay, this seems like a good place to stop, so I’m doing that now.
- I’ve picked up again, this time getting supplies and medicine and stuff for Taka the fireworks guy
- Also, they put a child with a terminal illness in this game
- ...WHY YOU DO THIS, OKAMIDEN
- SO WE ARE MAKING FIREWORKS FOR THE LITTLE SICK GIRL
- ...Is it sad that I make Chibiterasu jump in time with the music
- When do I learn cherry bomb? There are cherry bomb cracks everywhere!
- Yaaay fireworks!
- And here comes my constellation!
- HIIII BAKUGAMI
- AND BABY PIGLET GODS
- Teeee leaning tower of piglets!
- Aaaand now I have cherry bomb!
- Which may be easier to use in this game since it’s easier to draw a circle now
- ...BAWWWWW
- Woah secret passage
- Hmmm I cannot reach that particular area
- I’m missing one more scroll for a side quest, but we’re going on to Agata Forest now!
- And the forest is flooded D:
- Aaaaand picked up another side quest
- We wind out way through a log maze...
- Yaaaay bloom sequence!
- Place still is flooded tho
- And I need a key to get into the random submerged building
- Oh well there’s the key, but can’t have it yet...
- That was a creepy demon
- Oh it’s our old fisher buddies!
- ARE WE GONNA HELP FISH AGAIN
- Awwwwww again
- I think that’s just a fish, Kuni
- Orrrrr maybe it is a mermaid
- SQUIDDY
- Talking about Waka?
- Let’s go see the springs then
- IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE
- Woah I opened the hellmouth
- Chibi: WE’RE GOIN’ IN
- Demon market!
- HAHA DO WE GET TO DRAW MONSTER FACES
- *drew something silly*
- OMG lol
- Hahahaha this is the single best ever
- Sweet I can buy some fingers
- Never know when you’ll need those
- Well that was easy
- This looks delightfully ominous
- Kind of hilarious that a demon is selling exorcism slips
- Okay, this seems like a good place to stop, so I shall
- I need to find demon passwords next time

Drawing: LG, little character practice, some more colorings
