currently playing: Charade Maniacs

quite possibly the most mysterious otome game I’ve played yet. and again, I’m having quite a hard time to follow the story. it’s as bad as Tengai ni Mau, but at least this one I can understand at most 30% of what’s happening. Tengai ni Mau I just don’t know what actual fuck was happening all through out the entire game.

the concept is in future Japan, our MC, Hiyori and her overprotective osananajimi suddenly found themselves in another world where the “people” there doesn’t seem like normal human being. it’s like they’re robots, or something that not used to be a human. along with them are 8 other guys and a mysterious masked person - the Director - who said all 10 of them are to be there, Arcadia, and to occasionally play a short skit or drama to gain points. the points can be used to ‘purchase’ anything they want, but if their points to reach zero, they will be erased for existence. finishing their forced job as an actor would grant them a wish to be fulfilled.

unfortunately, among 10 of them, one of them is the person who led them to be chosen to Arcadia; the Producer. who is the traitor?

part1: Kyouya, Tomose & Mamoru routes

though honestly, I don’t think I would continue clear other routes. maybe. my Japanese is way too low to understand the details of this fucking gamee

if anyone can explain to me the game plot, also the spoiler of who is the Producer and why the heck he’s doing all of these, that’ll be great.

my first impression of this game was; “HOLY SHIT 9 CAPTURE TARGETS?!!” but then I found out “thERE’S A HIDDEN CHARACTER AS WELL???” I just know I’m gonna be a mess for this game. I expect it to be kinda dark of a theme but not entirely? I think most of the creepy vibes were taken off to some degree by the awesome BGM. still, I don’t really get some details of the entire plot, shameful to admit. no. correction; I understand exactly nothing from the plot so..

all I know that aside from the Producer hiding among them, there’s also a Sponsor who had been possibly working together to keep them all there. a

Kyouya

he is the genki guy of the 10 of them, and despite being kidnapped to another world, he's the most optimistic and motivated that they all will be out of this psychopath of a forced imprisonment. he sees himself as a superhero that will protect and help everyone. he even said, when knowing there’s at least 2 traitors (the Producer and the Sponsor) among them, that doesn’t mean that they should all start to doubt everybody and distrust them.

turns out the Sponsor among them is Kyouya’s parents. they were one of the main contributor (or supporter) of this whole ‘kidnapping people into forced reality tv to act in skits for the sake of amusement’. kinda. I’m pretty hazy about that... anyway. but Kyouya is there to stop the psychopathic project. he actually had two little sisters, both was also been made the Cast of the project but they failed to meet the necessary points needed and was deleted out of existence, and that includes from the Kyouya’s memory. it was said because being no longer remember what you lost is much easier. he was very devastated when he began to remember them, and felt so bad how he could ever forget about his two sisters.

Kyouya managed to gained enough points to have his wish, but there was a catch that asshole Director just suddenly announced; he could only wish one person to return to the real world, or but one to remain. he chose the latter, and Hiyori was mega sad. he stayed and he promised to continue to stop Arcadia, and retrieve his two sisters.

Tomose

dude is younger than Hiyori, and used to be the target of bullies. Hiyori, with her strong oneechan power, took the role of his protector. he came to secretly fallen in love with her as the years gone by, and he swore he would do anything to protect her in return. despite his near-obsession towards Hiyori, she never agreed nor encouraged this behavior. she simply said she saw him as just the osananajimi, and nothing else.

with the little that I can understand from his route, there’s not really any new revelation aside that Hiyori suspected Tomose to be the Sponsor because he kept saying he didn’t mind staying there in Arcadia so long he could play the role of her boyfriend. you’re twisted, my dude. I might missed a lot of the stories in Tomose’s route, because, fuck, a lot of the ‘explanation’ was left to Hiyori. which means no narration, and fucking shit my reading skill is lower than an elementary kid so... oh. Hiyori got her ‘emotions’ yanked out of her when she refused to do the play and kept on telling Tomose how he was wrong, and that he was acting like not the Tomose she knew.

in the end, after a thrilling (/sarcasm) game of charades with the resident of Arcadia, Tomose was about to wish for all of them to return before the Producer dropped his asshole of a new rule. Tomose wanted to say that he would remain while everyone was to sent home, but Shouta stepped in saying he volunteered to stay instead. dude said he liked playing games so he didn’t mind staying in Arcadia. I suspect he might be the Director....?

after getting back home, Tomose and Hiyori decided to start all over again with their relationship.

Mamoru

a soft spoken and overall very tender guy, Mamoru didn’t stand out that much among the 10. he gave Hiyori a teddy bear to cheer her up when he think she was not feeling too good after the whole thing of them trying to find a loophole of Arcadia as an existence while they were doing a maintenance. they were supposed to stay at the house they’re staying but he and Hiyori went to another place. in result they saw the real form of the people in Arcadia. they were slimy alien looking creatures.

for some time, Hiyori was terribly traumatized by what she discovered and could no longer see the Another Worlders in the eye. then later Mamoru refused to act in a skit where he would have to stab the co-star. he begged to the Director that he could take anything of his, just not his right hand. so Mamoru got his leg paralyzed and had to walk with a cane afterwards.

Mamoru’s personality changed since then, and the other kids started to think it’s proof enough he’s not the Producer who was supposed to be hiding within them. Hiyori caught him went out late at night and asked him where he gone, but he never answered and continued being cold and distant. then later there was a skit asking for Hiyori and Mamoru that involved a kissing scene. before it could start, Mamoru called the Director that he didn’t want to do it and would accept another penalty. he lost his sight this time, and as he was hurrying on his way away, Hiyori caught his right hand that he treasured more than his life and felt the slimy unholy texture of the alien she had seen before.

Mamoru closed himself in his room for days until Hiyori managed to talk to him. he admitted to be the Sponsor and also the person responsible for taking them all to Arcadia. he also admitted to be one of the Arcadian people through his dad and his mom was one of the past Cast. every other explanation he gave I didn’t quite get like why he became a Sponsor? also how could a child could be made from one of those emotionless alien who’s barely human and an actual human? from Kyouya’s end, Hiyori woke up on a bed connected to an IV, meaning she went to Arcadia only in her conscious so...??? well. anyway. because he is part Arcadian part Human, he never belonged to neither of them. the Arcadian makes fun of him and gave him less points for his acts, while at the same time he knew he is less than a human to familiarize with another human.

I actually didn’t manage to see to his route to the end because... the lack of my understanding of the plot really made the climax so boring.

and that’s it. I prolly won’t be able to go through other routes. I took a peek at each of them’s walkthrough and saw either Mei or Takumi being the Producer since theirs has multiple endings. I’m betting on Takumi because if any character’s gonna be shady, might as well be the most innocent looking one.

I might clear Mizuki’s though because, let’s face it, they’re the most interesting person of all.

so in conclusion: I really need someone to explain to me this game’s story. I’m way underqualified for it.

Hey Ive come to ruin your day because you are the only one who will understand! So i couldnt enjoy the episode of the show of Voltron because the whole "a worm is inside Corans head and controls him" reminded me too much of a yeerk and then *WAR FLASHBACKS* actually voltron reminds me so much of the animorphs and i dont even know why

Oh my god YES.

Seriously, @survivorofhighstorms and I were sitting there watching the worm crawl into Coran’s ear, and we were screaming, “Yeerk!!” the entire time. Holy frick.

Anyway, I’ve thought about a crossover in reverse (Jake as the black paladin, Marco as blue, Rachel as red, Cassie as yellow, and Tobias as green, I mean, come on, it’s like they’re made to be paladins.) But I’ve never considered the opposite before.

So, going off role on the team/plotline rather than personality (uhhhh, Animorphs spoilers through early/mid series-ish?):

Allura fills the role of Ax, i.e. the alien trying and failing to blend in with humans while throwing her everything into the war. (So then Alfor is Elfangor, and he gave the paladins their ability to morph.)

Hunk takes on Cassie’s role. He’s fascinated by the process of morphing (even if it does make him a little queasy) but he’s not so into the whole “fighting” thing. He’s anxious, he’s a little bit of a pacifist at first, and he doesn’t have a stomach for violence. (And yet when people are in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to throw himself into the fight.) Also I love the idea of Hunk being a very graceful morpher.

Keith fills the role of Tobias--an outsider with a shitty home life who has some serious identity issues. He charges into an early battle, gets cornered, and stays in morph too long (intentionally, because fuck you yeerks, he’d rather be a bird forever than give you the satisfaction of capturing him.) He later finds out he’s not entirely human. (I’m not sure how the Galra fit into the Animorphs universe? I guess they’re the Yeerks, and the Blade of Marmora are the Yeerk Peace Movement? But I’m pretty sure a Yeerk-Galra couldn’t be Keith’s mom, so... I guess he’s just half human, half Andalite-Altean (and Allura’s half-brother? Cool.)

The others don’t fall neatly into the other Animorphs’ roles--Lance is Marco personality-wise, a little bit of a jokester, but one of those people who can see straight to the heart of the situation, but without the issue of Marco’s mom. Pidge is not at all Jake, but would have a similar motivation--Sam, Matt, and Shiro would have been taken by the Yeerks, and Shiro and Matt left to go on some big Yeerk mission, while Sam stayed in town. Pidge was suspicious of the “research trip” and of Sam’s new friends at the Sharing and started investigating. She was nearly caught and forced to become a host for a Yeerk before Alfor showed up.

Shiro was briefly taken over by a Yeerk, but he escaped somehow--possibly with Alfor’s help? Possibly Alfor was working with Yeerk!Ulaz. Possibly Yeerk!Ulaz is out there somewhere in Andalite!Coran’s head, both of them undercover. (Omg, Ulaz and Coran working together. I need.) So they return to Earth together, and Shiro explains the whole war to the others. They all assume Matt and Sam are controllers, but, heck, Matt’s the host for, Kolivan or someone. No, Regris, holy shit that would be a match made in hell and it would be beautiful. Basically, they’re part of the peace movement, working together to undermine the Yeerks’ plans and track down Sam (and Shiro, because they wouldn’t know Shiro’s already free.) And sewing havoc wherever they go. Matt and Coran are besties, Regris is totally on board with everything they do, and Ulaz is trying to pretend not to be just as eager to wreck shit because he’s the responsible one here, guys, please.

And, hell, this is just a really fun AU but I’m not getting into another big story. XD

#voltron #animorphs #crossover #voltron season 4 #bless this ask #i'm so glad we weren't the only ones to watch that and think yeerk #anon #answers
