School really isn’t too bad (so far) and it would seem that there’s only one class that’s going to give me any real trouble. Luckily. (I’ll cross my fingers and knock on some wood, lulz.) So, I was able to look over some doujins and listen to some more music today. Still no games, though. But, right, onto the reviews!

Man, this is reaaaaaaally short and only contains full-color illustrations which are almost entirely of Rin and Saber. Everything looks really nice, but I just wish there was more of it. Whoever these d00dz are, I’d love to see more of their work, but there’s nothing really too spectacular about this. Download if you’re an FSN fan.

No hentai in this. I have no idea what the FUCK is going on, but I LOVE IT. It’s just a massive ton of Lucky Star hilarity in a similar vein to the Churuya 4koma (after all, this IS authored/drawn by the same guy who’s responsible for Churuya). Throughout the entire thing, Kagamin is drawn as this chibi, deformed, cube-shaped pig (which I think might be a parody of a Sanrio character, but I’m not sure). It’s ADORABLE. Also featuring the Stay Puft marshmellow man, Seiba raion, Tomitake, and CHURUYA HERSELF. FUCKING DOWNLOAD THIS.
MUSIC:
Shoujo Byou – unify
7 / 10 MARMOTS
FAVORITES: Princess Bride!, ねぇ、…しようよ, さくらんぼキッス ～爆発だも～ん～
HATED: The first disc.
I think I remember Ashleigh saying that these songs are all I’ve covers. The first disc had a rock-ish theme to it and was ridiculously unremarkable. It sucked, ugh. 夏草の線路 and Imaginary Affair were kinda nice, but not stuff I’d personally listen to. But the second disc is pretty cool! It’s still not amazing or anything, but I think it’s infinitely better than the first disc. Download this if you’re an I’ve fetishist.
MOSAIC.WAV – Future-Fiction:AKIBA-POP!!
6 / 10 MARMOTS
FAVORITES: ギリギリ科学少女ふぉるしぃ（New Arrange）, Look At Me tenderly（New Take）
HATED: Most of it, lol.
This sounds like fucking arcade music. Everything’s cutesy and… and… cute and… hyper… and… yeah. I think the whole pop-ish motif gets really old, but there are a few songs that break it up a little, such as Look At Me tenderly（New Take）, 一件落着よベイベー！, and プリン・プリン・ポップト・ショコラ・パ・レスト（New Take）. This album’s nothing amazing, but it’s something nice to try out if you’re into fast-paced pop music with cute loli vocals and arcade game sounds.
Purple Software – Primitive Link Lovable Colors
8.5 / 10 MARMOTS
FAVORITES: Reason Where You Exist, Lovable Colors
HATED: Nothing! :3
Wow, the first C72 album I’ve listened to today that I actually LIKE. Man, the vibes from the music on this CD are really nice. It’s not too sugary or headache-inducing (like the MOSAIC.WAV garbage), yet it’s still got a happy feel to it. It’s also got some laid backs songs (read: Quiet Night), but they’re just as nice to listen to and give the album a varied feel unlike the above MOSAIC.WAV CD. I’d definitely recommend this album; download it!
Diverse System – D12
9.5 / 10 MARMOTS
FAVORITES: Fly away -mix del matador- (naotyu- Remix), minimalizer,
HATED: None!!!
All of the songs on this CD each have different genre influences. I’m thinking that’s exactly why this group of artists is called Diverse System. You’ve got disco-sounding stuff, jazz/big-band-sounding stuff, ambient-sounding stuff, trance-sounding stuff, techno-sounding stuff, speedcore-sounding stuff, choir-sounding stuff, synthy-classical-sounding stuff, and… IT’S AWESOME. It’s really refreshing what with all the other C72 music I’ve heard so far being solely pop/techno/trance. Download this album because it is damn cool and all of the songs are amazing.

I listened to the album, and it’s pretty good for a MOSAIC.WAV work. Not as grating on the ears as before. :3
Lol you got a MOSAIC.WAV cd
@homeless_homo: Not “got” so much as “downloaded.”
