The best boss fight ever to kick off? Sounds good.

I remember reading reviews of Sakura Wars back in the mid-90's along with the obviously pointless wishes that it would come out in the West, so I'll be looking forward to this. LPs that do all the hard translation work for us are great.

Not voting for a love interest yet, but definitely voting we go nowhere near the 9-year old ever again. Seriously.

Heh, the clothing change scene was quite humourous. Well done.

But drat, is this game off to a boring start. Changing clothes? Punching tickets? The hell?

And while we're giving feedback, I don't suppose you could swap out the emoticons for conversations for something else? Say their names, or their little portraits from the game? As time goes on it'll be hard to remember which female character is which if you stick with those emots (except for :synpa: that's pretty easy to keep track of).

Holy poo poo, Maria's gigantic compared to the rest. :psyduck:

And Rolling Thunder truly is a kickass name. And a great video game, and a wrestling move, and a...etc etc :D

Wow, that battle looked awesome.

Although it strikes me as a bit odd from a videogame perspective, Ogami taking a breather from kicking rear end mid-battle to hit on chicks is a pretty cool thing to do. :D

I also like the lack of Iris in that update. I approve!

If anyone was on the fence about Maria, her (trying to at least)going against the enemy before they have a chance to power up ought to get you fully in Camp M.

:patriot: Signing up for duty at Camp M, sir!

The only real competition is Sakura, and while she's a samurai badass, Maria is a stone-cold sniping badass.

I vote that nobody goes for Sumire, nobody goes for the drunk chick - just ask Karen from Harvest Moon :colbert:

Sakura's totally gonna kick Kohran's rear end, now. She's seen Ogami naked and had her way with him? Big trouble.

Oh God, now spanking Iris is definitely come up as an option later :gonk:

I'm sticking with Maria though, and repeating that those MS Paints were great!

So, does mystery finger blowjob lady win the award for most bizarre hairstyle so far? Also, bumping for new page.

It really is a weird looking haircut. It almost look like she's got a receding hairline. :psyduck:

Hence, my vote remains with Maria or Sumire.

(So who wants to take guesses as to what Maria's depressing past is? I'm guessing she has a dead lover who was killed by the Hive of Darkness when one of them mistook him for a food stand during one of their weekly park raids; either that or an accident with the Koubu.)

Swap lover for parents and you've got my vote.

You - you gave her the evil Iris eyes! What was I supposed to think?

And it's taken me far too long to notice that if you swap the e and the u in Sumire, you get my handle. That's some retroactive creepy poo poo right there.

To that end, I'm changing my vote to Maria.

And no, not just because the MSPaint in the last update was freaking awesome.

The cuteness of this pic is tempered by the identity of the person holding Chibi-Maria. Kanna X Maria seems to be a very popular fanfic pairing. :gonk:

So wait, that's a fully grown Kanna holding a baby/toddler aged Maria? :gonk::gonk::gonk:

I was about to say JAPAN:argh: but instead I'll say CREEPY FANS THE WORLD OVER!:argh:

Look, far be it for me to poo poo on an anime-based LP, but KANNA IS A DUDE JESUS CHRIST.

Next shot shows some breasts, but hey, at this point Ogami could have a good set and we wouldn't know because Kanna is more manly than the loving male protagonist.

That said, my vote remains with Sumire. Vast, female tracts of land.

Thus, when That Time arrives (i.e. when it's time to determine who will be Ogami's top pilot, wink wink nudge nudge etc), I'll just reset the votes and let you all decide WHICH of the top three pilots will be the Chosen One.

... so basically, what Locus Cosecant was saying. Thoughts?

I don't mind this idea - I'll still be voting for Sumire anyway, but at least this way votes won't be wasted on trying to get Iris in. :downs:

Voting for Sumire since Kanna doesn't need our help.

poo poo, the mansion would probably be better off if Ogami just went home at this point, but that's not an option, unfortunately.
