there's no other alternative but this
My short term has finally ended. It was short yet long two months, filled with me reading lots of books and discovering lots of thing about world history, I can say it's one fine and fun lesson. I really like my lecturers for these lessons, they're the kind of lecturer who doesn't just 'lecture' but drilling lots and lots of information and knowledge into me, if I were to be a lecturer that surely I'd like to be like them.
Study aside, I finally have my holiday though it'll be short, less than a month but I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can. And I've finally chosen a way to enjoy it. Ever since I started college, my way of enjoying holiday is by finishing PS3 game, but since I'm kind of short on cash right now, I choose not to play PS3 game but Visual Novel, yes, a Visual Novel, Muv Luv Alternative to be exact. I didn't know anything about Muv Luv until I watch the anime, Muv Luv Alternative and despite being sceptical at first (boobies everywhere), the show managed to get into me. The action, the gore, the mechas, the characters, the storyline, it fits to my taste. Maybe I've mentioned before about my difficulties in finding what show to watch each season. Even if everyone said it's good show (like AnoHana) but if it didn't sit well with me then I'm dropping it. For last season (spring) it's Sankarea, Hyouka, and KuroBasu. I did watch KuroBasu but I dropped it somewhere on 5th episode. Sankarea is too soft and gooey (?) for my liking and even if Hyouka had wonderfully brilliant animation, it didn't click with me, maybe it has something to do with the pacing. This season it's Jinrui, TariTari, KokoroConnect, and Arcanna Famiglia. The later was dropped the immediate moment, I know exactly what it'll be like. My sis said it's going to be likeable in few more episodes but I just can't bear to watch it.
Back to Muv Luv, I just can't not like it after the 2nd episode. Sure the 1st episode was kind of boring and dragging me along but fast paced at the same time, I can barely understand what's going on until the 2nd episode, however when the real story started on 3rd episode, it easily picked up my interest. Now it's Mawaru Penguindrum and Aquarion EVOL all over again, whenever the ED song starts, I just cannot wait for the next episode. The game is pretty much the same, it's linear so whatever choice I make doesn't make difference to the ending but at least it's not Kara no Shoujo, urgh, yes, I love Kara no Shoujo but I DESPISE the ending, so much. It has 50 hours gameplay, packed with actions, romance, drama, and gore, yes, GORE. I'm on my way to the first actually, the scene where ******'s brain is eaten by BETA. As for my favorite character, it's definitely Kasumi. I have this thing for character like her; twin-tailed and innocent-looking. I just can't resist her and her big clueless blue eyes and her manner of speaking, yes, it has something to do with her manner of speaking too.
Another interesting thing about this game is its historical reference, somehow I find it funny since I was taking World History Class while watching/playing this, I wonder if this is mere coincidence or (the usual) turn of fate? In the game, almost all Eurasia had been destroyed by BETA, only Great Britain and Japan were still intact. On the other hand, America was virtually untouched. See the reference with World War here? In all World War, both 1st and 2nd, America was left untouched as well, they only damage their country took was the attack to Pearl Harbour. Other than this, there's many other reference like racial issues and ideology, mostly Japanese and American's ideologies.
I'd like to talk more about this amazing game but this very same amazing game is begging to played right now, see you later, folks.
