Character Preview #4

Pop pop~

Hot Damn. Sorry Mask-tan and SquishyButt-tan. This one wins in my eyes. Instantly got hooked. Ironic that I am listening to Alcest while reading her bio (For those who don't know, Alcest is a French band that Mixes Shoegaze and Post-Black metal). Personality seems good, interest are good, the overly large clothing is a plus one. I'm not even going to bother guessing what she has (like in the other character threads). I"ll just find out when I get to her route.

+1 to you, Worthington

The animation was a pleasant surprise - very cute Good job there Myuto
I also like her taste in media very much. What can I say? T1s, eclectic musical tastes, a musician, a media buff, good taste in anime... dreamgirl ^^ Great work, Worthington
Call me on this if I am being stupid, but... autism?

Anyway, most exciting (:

It's ANIMATED this time XD

Yes, eclectic music tastes. I am interested in her route as well.

Very interesting character bio.

I have been musing about writing a Fan Work for a few days, but upon reading about Ms. Koell here, it seems I've been beat to the point, as she is so very similar to the 'who' I was creating, that I don't have an original character anymore.

As a fellow guitarist, I must give my heartfelt approval. Also, her eyes are hypnotic and scary (The picture was much larger when I put it in the concept art thread, so it was really prominent.) I really like her though, rape-eyes and all.

It wasn't that uncommon in anime / manga / visual novel however - the multiple iris lines.

Steins;Gate for example...

I didn't notice it until I put it in the concept art thread, so it kinda jumped out at me. I have seen it used in manga, but it's still unusual.

They won't be like that in the actual game, however, since Anna's path artist is actually Mike Inel.

I still might refer to her as rape-eyes-tan. I kind of like the nickname. (Just to clarify; I think the art is absolutely amazing. I'm not trying to criticize.)

I'ma just call er Impossibly-Kawaii-tan. Nah, i'll go with Rape-eyes tan too, just for the hell of it

That animation, those clothes, that bio, those interests....
This has to be THE asfiuqeboniwca(no word good enough)
I will play this route, EVEN IF I DIE A YEAR BEFORE IT IS MADE!!!

Since someone else took my money:
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY SOUL!!!

Also, the artist who did RapeEyes-tan's preview image is Cannibal-tan's path artist.

The charecter looks really good. She sounds very interesting to say the least. Also her eyes are a little bit freaky. Just a bit not to much. Ok maybe a bit much.

I can't log into the blog from work; could someone add a link from Anna's preview to this thread like the other previews have?

EDIT: Rechecking her profile has revealed that Lena is, in fact, German, thus I will have to go find another platform for my Francophobic rhetoric.

Also, two gamer girls already. You know there's going to be a contest scene.

Lena wasn't French bro .

>Steins;Gate/ White Fox/ huke-inspired eyes
>freaky eyes

I should've gone with a moe-look...oh well.

Gamer girls are always awesome, and the animation is just adorable. It's getting tense now, what with only three girls left to announce. Although, I'm pretty sure one's going to be imperial.standards avatar girl; she was in the original sketches after all.

Here's where imperial swoops in, points epically towards my face and objects to my statement XD

Rape eyes? Evangelion?

"Protagonist-kun, y-you're mine now! I-invert code, secret mode, za beasto!"

Pay me no heed ;_;

I love the artwork. The eyes just kind of surprised my because I didn't notice them at first. It's a really nice animation.

If I didn't use 720p dimensions, I don't think people would've noticed the multiple iris (or hypnotic eyes) at all. I'm sure everyone's first impression before staring at her eyes was probably like, "Oh hey cool, its animated!"

Like I said, I never noticed it until I put it in the concept art thread. The animation surprised me as well. I jumped straight to reading, so I only saw the movements in the corner of my eyes. It took me a second to really notice them.

I know the Ace Attorney series does, but do any smaller scale companies use animated sprites in visual novels? And yes, I know it's too soon to tell whether these will be used in this game, but you have to admit the Annaliese animation looks pretty cute.

Hmmm... the plot thickens like a well-coagulated aneurysm! Also, +1 brownie point for creating what appears to be a true audiophile

Thanks to your comment, I looked up the word "audiophile", then I realized that I am an audiophile.

oh a fellow audiophile...wait wait wait wait mp3 player??????

....ok then

flac>mp3

tho if she must have an mp3 player i recommend the colorfly or as most audiophiles use a sansa clip+ running rockbox and a portable dac and amp..

Also why beyerdynamic t1's? Audeze LCD-3's are much much better.

Worthington, did you intentionally leave out Annaliese's stats (nationality, blood type, etc)?

The colorfly does play FLAC files if i'm not mistaken. Also, she couldn't afford the Audeze.

Beyerdynamic DT-880 Pro FTW.

Spoiler:

>mfw also an otaku and can easily relate

She looks like my ex as well and shares a rather close geographical location to where my ex was from (Poland), and same hair and eye color. Also a somewhat similar name (Annaliese vs Agnieszka) And same interests as my ex. I miss her.

I'm going to drink and cry myself to sleep the next few weeks, but when the game releases, it's going to be worth it.
Thumbs up devs... you touched my heart and the game isn't even out yet. Just thumbs up.

Oversized clothes? That alone makes this girl very...
