Fortune Arterial: Red Promise

[corocoro]

Well, one of the eroge based anime this season. Cute school uniforms, but so far it's only been purling along - the end of the last episode promises some story development in the near future, though. :p

Hmm, I wonder who everyone likes (except Checkmate, who will love Shiro for being a loli imouto).
So far I like Kanade best - crazy otakou girl with a nice body (she could be a bit taller, though) and interesting fashion sense.
Kiriha could also be interesting, but she had so little acreentime until now that it is hard to judge.

Didnt play the eroge. Been spoiled by eroge frens meh b4 anime adaption announced last year. Liking kiriha and erika (tsundere mmmm). The interaction between chars feels very smooth. The mysterious vibe is hooking me.

[Checkmate]

Shiro is the best ♥ ~♪

More tsundere Erika~ Been wanting to read the VN but just don't have the time TT

Hm... if anyone noticed the 5th episode there is a lot of cameo from moonlight crade did i mistook them or its really a cameo?

[Terumi]

*likes kuze and erika*
though, i want to play the VN, requested it already, but guess there will be problems

A very slow and weak episode. Notice a few weird angles and still frames, a 'saving budget' episode.

  Spoiler: episode 5 

Nice to see characters cameo frm hani hani and yoake.
None-cabbage Yoake characters are good if u know what i mean lol. Sch festival event seems the less important so decision to cut budget here is good for other important events in later episodes. Episode 5 marks the end for the common route so hope we will get to better stuffs now.

Agree with the amount of stills going on - quite noticeably some budget saving in progress.

  Spoiler: 5th 

Hina continues to be boring, so I really hope the anime doesn't go down her path... The water balloon event was a disappointment - after all everyone is wearing white shirts, so I had hoped for some interesting shots. Kouhei probably did as well, which is why he took the spectator position. ^^
And seems like Kuze will continue being a boring character. >_>
Anyway, plenty of Kanade, which helps through the slow parts.

[Terumi]

anime definitely will not follow the game...
good thing though, coz i juz managed to download it

[Kou]

@terumi - actually they are following it, just cutting down the material.

Bleh late post.

  Spoiler: episode 6 

This was ... an ok episode i guess, though i am having a bit hard time pinning how i exactly felt about it. The mood was generally handled well (and it was actually animated this time around, yay!), but the development was rather ...rushed isn't exactly the word i am searching for, bluntly straight forward perhaps ? It's like the director announced "Ok, we are going to cover Haruna's story in this one episode, get to it!", and that's what they did. You could feel the director's heavy hand on the shoulder, hurrying things along. Not quite rushed, but not nearly as elaborate as it could have been. As a result , it felt a that bit cliche for me. The scene between the Yuuki sisters and Kouhei was pretty heartwarming.

Well i guess this is the price to pay for trying to adapt a >30 hrs content to a 1 cour series =P. At least, i got some maid service :073:

Next week should be checkmate's favorite episode !!
