There. Done.

Well, actually, this is a week late, but hey, I'm a busy man. XDD

Finished Tokyo Mew Mew. Yeah, the ending is a mix between Captain Planet and sappy shôjo stuff: the alien is oh so sorry, he's amazed by the Power of Friendship, and then there's an ecologist rant. Geez, and I thought Sailor Moon was as sappy as you could get.

Here's a few shots... not. Buzznet is down at the moment. Geez.

Gatoh, as a "final" boss... what a disappointment. Too easy. Just go wild on him with everything you've got, like the Ribbon Strawberry Trinity, a 3-person tech, or THE tech: can't remember it's name, but it's a 5-person tech which uses up 2 hearts' worth of Yaruki from everyone (Fighting Spirit, here Courage), attack power 200+ and heals. It's the Boss Smashing tech xDD, specially when you know he's coming and load everyone's Yaruki up with items.

It's even more disappointing after using Provoke on him a few times and evading his attacks 70% of the time. -_-

On a side note, there's a small feature: you can make "photographs" of your characters. It's very simple: if you go to a R-2000 comp (those which let you save and look up animal info) and press the Confirm button, a menu will appear. There's an option for making photographs (it had 'shashin' in it, but I forgot the rest).

When you select it, a new screen will appear asking you what style of clothes will the girls wear: traditional (yukatas - summer kimonos), their daily wear or explorer style. Ichigo gets extra outfits, like the Princess outfit (which you can get from talking with Ryou - go imagine WHY he had that outfit in the first place!). As you can guess, it's got more laces than any fashion sense would allow. I'll show you pics as soon as I can.

After you finish the game, a new mode will appear, à la Chrono Trigger: the Exploration Mode (Tansaku Moodo). Basically, you can walk freely around the whole island using your final characters, as Kish seems to have unleashed havoc yet again on the 6th day of the visit (you get rid of Gatoh on the night of the 5th). Bonus stuff appears, but I don't quite feel like walking over the island again. There's only TWO types of maps: snow/ice maps and forests. Guh. You basically Gotta Catch 'Em All (heehee): one of each species of animal in the island.

In short: I give this game a 7 out of 10. It's playable, it's nice for studying Jap, and it's funny, what with all the laces and silly things. And it has great moments like the lines said in some combos:

Retasu (Ms. No-Guts) and Zakuro (Ms. Shinto-Priest-And-Model):
- Let's go after them, Retasu!
- Who me?
- Who else, you twit?
- Oh... let's do it, then!

Really. And Ringo... even her sprite looks... like she's Not There when she's attacking. xDD And you'd have to listen to her voice.

However, the battles become... SLUGGY in the end of the game. And you DO get tired of getting interrupted in battle because of all the voices. The maps are a tad boring and there's not much variety.

As an anime-based game, it's good, though. Definitely better than the MKR RPG (translated by.. someone?), but not as good as the SM RPG (translated by DeJap and available on All Your Emulators!).

Gotta think of what I'm going to play next... should be in Jap as well. Maybe FF4. Yeah, probably. Jobu Shistemu (Job System... you'd think they would use JAP WORDS, like Shokugyou Seido or something!) ahead!
