Gaming Target reviews one of the first ero offerings from MangaGamer.com.
From the review: "As a first effort, I'll give MangaGamer.com some credit for translating a wonderful teenage drama-comedy like Edelweiss. While the game has its large share of bumps and bruises thanks in large part to a very iffy translation, a somewhat weak middle, it's still a good recommendation for anime fans as the story itself is entertaining. Here's hoping that their future titles have a bit of a stronger translation ahead of them."
Japanator: October 10th is a special day for fans of moe and puns, because today is Moe Day! Why, you ask? Well, the Kanji characters for "October 10th" (十月十日) just so happen to line up just right to spell the Kanji character for "Moe" (萌). That makes it a perfect day to celebrate all things moe.
MangaGamer gets the idea, and is holding a "Moe Day" 24-hour sale, starting right now and ending at 11:59PM EST. They've got a raftload of their most popular visual novels and dating sims, including the Shuffle! series, Da Capo!, Kira Kira, Edelweiss, and others, all at half off.
Fresh from the Steam release of their perspective-shifting shmup Ether Vapor, Japanese indie studio Edelweiss have something else for us. A playable demo of their soon-to-be-localized magical brawler Fairy Bloom Freesia. Probably closer in Smash Bros’ in style than a traditional fighting game, the story-focused demo pits you against wave after wave of expendable enemies, gaining experience points which can be spent on new moves and stat upgrades for the protagonist, Freesia.
Edelweiss? ISARA!!!
