Hey there! Hope everyone is having or has had a good day. The official Retour Twitter had a Christmas skit where Dia had the Guardians participate in a blind gift exchange: everyone brought a gift, and everyone received a gift at random. I'm sure this will go swimmingly!

Zephel: Hey, OSCAR!! This present YOURS? What's the big idea, givin' me ( Read more... )

Hope everyone's having a good holiday! As per the post title, there's been a new variety CD for Angelique Retour scheduled: Angelique Retour ~Sekai o Dakishimete~ (Angelique Retour ~Embracing the World~). The CD will feature a long-form drama featuring Brian, plus five character songs from Randy, Oscar, Zephel, Marcel, and Brian. It's scheduled ( Read more... )

Angelique Retour has been released, yet site updates continue!

- The System page (fourth option) has been updated with a picture of Brian's cabin, but we saw that in the "Coffee Thief" video. The caption says that Brian grows wild white roses there, and that in the language of flowers, they symbolize ~solitude~ and ~genius~. So I'm glad Brian ( Read more... )

Retour is finally in the wild, so, of course, I'm posting about Haruka.

Anyhow: there's been a ongoing sale on game soundtracks on Amazon Japan, with a bunch of selections priced at 390 yen (about 3 USD & change). Among these OSTs are a bunch of Haruka albums. I know that most Haruka fans have probably downloaded the entire discography already ( Read more... )

According to Anime News Network, Ruby Party's gettin' together with Otomate to make a new Neo Angelique game. And, MAN, this news snuck out the door, since it was leaked on December 5th, and there's nothing on Koei's site about it, and nearly nothing from anyone on the English-language social networks about it. I just noticed it now. Apparently ( Read more... )

Your near-daily Angelique Retour site update as we head into release:

- In the Characters section (third option), there's a new bit note from Brian, take it as you will:

"Long have I awaited the day when a girl charged with leading the stars themselves would set foot within a new universe. I have veritably yearned for it ( Read more... )

The Angelique Retour site has been updated with mini-movies featuring Brian and the twins. The movie on the Scrappy-Doos doesn't have any new info, but the one with Brian features him caught in a dimensional rift, with Limoges coming to save him (or, maybe, thrown in herself, who knows). It seems to be a place of imprisonment, and the scene ( Read more... )

Here. All three parts of Clavis's manga will be up until January 4, 10:00 a.m. Japan time. I'll be updating this post later with the translation of the second part, then following soon with the translation of 3.

According to Miko Mitsuki's Twitter, Luva is next. Will this be the tale of Luva Dad's epic Nuke the Fridge coffin escape?

ETA: No, ( Read more... )

At the Angelique Retour site, there are currently a couple movies that show the Guardians talking in-game. It's nothing huge, but it shows how the portraits animate - the standard visual-novel way. You can also hear snippets of character themes, and see Zephel's office, which is the only one that hasn't been posted yet ( Read more... )
