Souma's route was a slog to get through so here's some bad jokes that kept me awake
I got scared every time Kaji-san screamed ^^' Dialovers trauma is real
(So disappointed we didn't get a proper Dialovers reunion scene...)
(It's so weird to me that Hakuouki was first with the whole MC-gets-her-blood-sucked-by-her-love-interests thing and Dialovers just leaned into it more. Ah, and comparing the blood-drinking scenes from EB with DL really did me no good, it just frustrated me due to the missed opportunities... Especially since imagining Souma during Kanato's dummy head moments helped me get through his route ^^' I kinda want a Souma with some Kanato-elements now, you know? Oh, and not to mention all the shame every Hakuouki love interest felt before/while/after drinking blood, like: It wouldn't be awkward/bad if you didn't make it so! Also feels like kink-shaming tbh...)
... so I’m playing one of the Heian Tales in Onmyoji about Kuro and Shiro (Doji) and I never really paid attention to the two in my roster since they’re a bit more specialized than what my newbie ass needs right now, but the story introduces them.
They are two boys on internship beneath the Mujou brothers (also Kuro and Shiro); they are deeply close best friends who protect each other.
Shiro is introduced first and I see he’s voiced by Nakamura, a favorite seiyuu, and that immediately perked my interest cause I don’t think I’ve ever heard him play a young, shy boy before (he’s got a naturally aggressive voice).
Then Kuro shows up and his introduction flashes on screen and I see his CV... and it’s
...
fucking
Sugita
I AM DEAD
I SWEAR LOL I FUCKING LOVE THE CASTING DECISIONS THAT ALWAYS PUT THESE TWO IN PAIR ROLES
BUT I MEAN THAT’S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU’RE SO AGGRO ABOUT YOUR BFF IRL MAN
Take a shot whenever kimura ryohei is in the casting list of an otome game. You can't cause you'll die from alcohol poisoning.
Every otoge I've played so far for the most part has kimura ryohei either voicing an LI or a freaking side character.. how does this man keep up with all his roles ???
Happy 55th birthday to Japanese voice actor, Kōji Yusa, who's known as the voice of Shadow the Hedgehog since the 2001 release of Sonic Adventure 2 for the Sega Dreamcast console!

Shin stole the kabedon from Toma and that was the beginning of the end...
Below: Parallels between Karasuba (Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly) and Toma (Amnesia: Memories)
I talked about this in this post already. At least in Psychedelica, they made the yandere-ending into an obvious bad ending and did not normalize the abuse like in 7'Scarlet...
ok i’ll add the interview sources when i find them but i don’t think ive ever talked about the black journey shirai yusuke story?
in an interview he was saying he wasn’t happy with the black journey choreography because during the instrumental break, he was supposed to run to the other two on the lower level. and it bothered him because he didn’t understand, from ramuda’s POV, why he would do that. he brought this up to the other two and they said “what if we called ramuda’s name during that part?”
they didn’t ask for permission, they didn’t even rehearse beforehand, but nozuyama and saito soma absolutely screamed “RAMUDA!” in perfect sync, and shirai said he had this overwhelming feeling of thinking “i have to run to them”
so yeah my favorite hypmic live moment is that one time fling posse actually possessed the bodies of their seiyuus
