Hedge poet. I watch anime & am often accused of reading.

I was amused to see that the minor devils in FMW dress very formally.
Koakuma. She's wearing a black-and-white dress and a red long tie. Kurumi. She's wearing a black skirt, a white shirt, braces (suspenders) and a red ribbon.

For tomorrow's stream the plan is to do the Hell Maiden demo again: I know how to play the game now, and can beat it on a good day.

Stream may also feature some of the Comedy itself.
The Hell Maiden main menu: Dante (a young lady) is flanked by the poets of Limbo (who are all young ladies) and some of the guardians of hell (who are also all young ladies) and Beatrice (who is, in an outbreak of accuracy, a young lady).

I always wonder who selects the right-hand option.
Interface choice between a transfer 'in minutes' for free and getting charged for a transfer that takes days.

They have a lot of trading cards.

This may be too much.
Gloom-waters’ guard stood wait by gangway’s piles: a ferryman full fell, with face of bone, a scull-hand skilled, whose skull was ever smiles.

So I don't know why this never occurred to me before, but it is of course emulateable.

(Though I lack the time right now to get to the actual gameplay and confirm that that functions as cleanly as the VN segments do.)

A quit message from SRW Gaiden: Masou Kishin – The Lord of Elemental. Lune says: Oh? Quitting already? I didn't take you for a quitter. Just promise you'll be back soon, okay?

The villains seem to hang out in some kind of crimson-tinted sicko zone.
An elaborate wrought-iron-looking vertical *thing* hangs in front of a giant crescent moon in a red-tinted magical space otherwise filled with ? vertical chains.

Today we watched the tournament final episode of Splash Star.
Saki in the foreground is having a breakdown. Mai sits at the other end of the bench, sombre. Bloom and Egret high above the townscape.

At the episode's end, Oka struggles back to her feat during a match. The show convincingly presents this as in itself a huge victory.
Oka's heavily shaded body blocks out the foreground as her doubles opponents stand over her beyond the net. Oka struggles to rise. Oka returns to stand. Oka resumes the ready position for receiving a serve.

They are always emphasising Midorikawa's height. Here she enters a shot but stays like this, not wholly fitting the frame.

Oka talks to herself in the mirror. Oka gestures, eyes closed. Oka leans back expressively, as her cat Goemon looks on. Oka comically grimaces at the mirror.

Maki visits the engulfing, threatening space of a rival high school in Tokyo.
The tiny silhouette of Maki is swallowed by cavernous modernist architecture.
