Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 4 (Azami is a Spy?!)



After winning the first round, President G send his men to spy on the team and a photo of Azami talking to a Masked man had Shinjiro and her accused of being spies and had them arrested! Can the two of them escape and clear their name while Oboro is attacking the city?

I also did some editing on the video as there were some side quests which are not related to the main plots or the girls involved.

P.S: Hatsuho is Best Girl!

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 3 (Read Description)




I have some bad news. I accidentally deleted the first 2 hours of Chapter 3 footage and the save file has been overwritten. So what I have is the 2nd half of Chapter 3. For those who want to know, the first half of Chapter 3 is the introduction of Team London and Berlin which to be honest, is just okay. Nothing really happened until the end where the Masked Lady called herself Yasha has threaten the city unless the "Teito Key" is handed over to her.

So the 2nd half explained what happened to the previous teams 12 years ago and our heroes battling Team Shanghai in the first round. President G also announce a new rule -The losing team will be disbanded immediately! Don't worry, Chapter 4 will be up soon if you are watching this.

Azur Lane the Animation Ep 10 Review: The Beginning of the End

Hi Everyone! This is my Azur Lane Episode 10 Review and can Enterprise overcome her trauma? (Episode 11 and 12 has been delayed till 13th and 20th March 2020)



Enterprise had another dream of meeting Code G and demanded to know who she is. Code G instead just taunt her more and even seduce her with the Black Cube. 





Oh Arc Royal, you never fail to surprise me!


When she was awakened by Belfast, Enterprise continued to ignore her and went back to a life of self-loathing. The other members of Azur Lane are still figuring the Black Cube to no avail. Ayanami wants to help her friends at Sakura Empire to see the truth in which Javelin, Laffey and Unicorn are willing to support her.







Nagato ordered Project Orochi to be halted which angered Kaga. She started remembering Amagi telling Akagi that she will always be in Akagi's heart even if she is gone. Kaga realised that she can never replace Amagi as a surrogate sister and even remember how the Tester Siren tempts the two Fox girls on using Project Orochi to revive Amagi. 





That night, Enterprise was hallucinating in the hallway and saw Code G and Amagi who tried again to make her fall into despair. Enterprise fainted in the hallway and woke up to see Belfast next to her. 



I think this is the first time we see Javelin wearing her hoodie.



Enterprise tried to run away from her problems again which Belfast has enough and dragged Enterprise into the Mess Hall which everyone was shocked to see Belfast so angry. 



Purifier is clearly on Coco Puffs...

Belfast immediately ordered Enterprise to eat her food which she slowly chewed it. Before they could talk further, the Purifier Siren attacked the base and stole the Black Cube. 







Belfast, Sheffield, Edinburgh and Norfolk gave chase and Belfast fire at Purifier to stop her. She turned around and started summoning Sirens ships to attack them. Everyone who is not injured started fighting back and even Enterprise joined the fight. Purifier was so "happy" to see Enterprise and started firing at her.







Prinz Eugen finally found the Orochi ship but saw Kaga operating it. It created tremors over the Sakura Empire Island and everyone saw the Orochi ship sailing with Kaga on it...

So we have to wait for three months to see the conclusion and this is really going to upset some people. Hopefully, the last two episodes will be a good paid-off when it aired in March. Enterprise was really self-loathing since last week and finally, someone did something which is Belfast who has enough of Enterprise's behaviour

I love how some of the girls even commented that they are having a lovers' quarrel which is hilarious since they are both females but then no one really bothers about genders in this show. (We already have Akagi and Kaga petting each other in the first episode and no one is complaining about it) But before anything can be resolved, the Siren Purifier appeared and stole the Black Cube.

Kaga is really a tragic character since the Sirens has already influenced her mind on Akagi and how she can never truly replace Amagi as a Surrogate sister. Furthermore, with her controlling the Orochi ship, how will anyone be able to stop her before she does something she will regret. 

Overall, a cliffhanger that only is resolved in three months. Until then, see you in the next post! (By the way, this is my 1000 post for this Blog!)

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 2 Part 4 to 6





Claris suggested to go on a date with Kamiyama in order to get inspirations for her script however something bad happened which revealed Claris' Dark Secret! With the new villain Oboro attacking the city and Claris still having doubts in her power, can Kamiyama be able to teach her the true meaning of her power?

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 2 Part 3



The team decide that Claris is to do the script for the upcoming play. Kamiyama also met Sakura's Sword master, Murasame and the President of the World Combat Revue Organisation, President G. (We also get a small raid battle which if successful, will increase that particular girl's affection.

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 2 Part 2



Kamiyama patrol the theater at night and get involved in all sort of matters with the girls. When Sakura tried to ask Anastasia to make her a better actress, Ana declined and Sakura got upset. It's up to Kamiyama to make Sakura feel better about herself...(I didn't play the Hanafuda mini game because I know zero about it and I don't want to waste my time on it)

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 2 Part 1



After their first victory, the team got a new member- Top Greece Actress Anastasia and Kamiyama's Navy Rival/Mechanic Reiji into the Flower Division however the team is still in the red as such  Kamiyama is given the role of Promoter to promote the theater's next performance...

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 1 Part 3


This is what we want to see! The battle portion of the game! With only Sakura's Mecha still functioning, can the team escape from the Demon Dimension created by the Masked Lady? P.S: Team Shanghai are a bunch of A-holes!

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 1 Part 2


After a disastrous play, Kamiyama found out he does not have a Mecha as the theater finances are in the red but before they could do anything, a horde of demons is attacking the city!

Shin Sakura Wars Playthrough Chapter 1 Part 1


Finally got the game but due to a Pre-order error, I got the Japanese Version instead. My Japanese isn't that good so that will be bound to have some bad choices during the adventure mode. But I have been playing Sakura Wars in Japanese since the Sega Saturn's era so this is pretty familiar to me. 

Anyway, the short version is you play as Kamiyama who is appointed as the new leader of the Flower Division however the team is in bad shape since all the previous members went MIA. It is up to Kamiyama to reshape the team and aim to win in the upcoming World Tournament against the various countries Strike Forces.

Azur Lane the Animation Ep 9 Review: Starting Over

Hi Everyone! This is my Azur Lane Episode 9 Review and what happened after Ayanami was saved by Laffey and Javelin from certain doom?



Ayanami woke up in a hospital bed and realised she is in Azur Lane Base. Arc Royal came in to inform her that she is a prisoner of war but also offered an apple to her. 




Laffey and Javelin were reprimanded by Hornet and Cleveland for being reckless and rescuing an enemy. Cleveland gave the two their punishment- To supervise Ayanami during her "imprisonment" (In another way, be nice to Ayanami) 




After the two destroyers left, the others checked the Black Cube which is glowing differently and suggested that Enterprise might have accidentally caused it. Enterprise herself is just hanging out alone as Vestal told her to go and rest. 




As Enterprise pounded on what is happening to her, Laffey and Javelin brought Ayanami to Akashi's shop for necessities and along the way, the various ship girls actually welcome Ayanami and even praise Laffey and Javelin's heroic act to save her.



I wonder why Long Island want a model kit of Enterprise where the real one is stationed at Azur Lane? 


At Akashi's shop, Akashi told Ayanami what really happened that day she escaped from Sakura Empire and learn that Akagi and Kaga are really working with the Sirens. (All these while Arc Royal is watching the trio from afar)







Back at Sakura Empire, Ayanami's friends were upset that Ayanami was "captured" by Azur Lane and even Zuikaku blamed herself for letting that happened. Shoukaku informed Nagato of what has happened and even advised her on halting the Orochi project.


We are finally introduced to Admiral Hipper who is Eugen's elder sister and her personality is based on Asuka from Evangelion.

Naughty, Naughty Eugen...

The Iron Blood girls who are stationed at Sakura Empire were also wondering what will happen now with Prinz Eugen thinking of their next move.



The Royal Navy girls in Golf clothing..make that a Skin in the game!


The Royal Navy girls were playing golf and also discussing what has happened so far with Enterprise as the centre of the discussion. Illustrious has also checked with Belfast on Enterprise's progress and could only conclude that Enterprise has to overcome this ordeal herself. 










Laffey is such a playful girl, taking Ayanami's strawberry from her pancakes.



The three destroyers later meet Illustrious, Unicorn and Belfast and they went to the town centre and enjoy themselves. Belfast even told a nose-bleed Arc Royal to behave herself. 




This will become a Meme very soon...


Later during dinner, Ayanami told the girls that life in Sakura Empire is very similar to Azur Lane as everyone is friendly and nice. (Arc Royal finally revealed her true colour when Glowworm had a cut on her finger and tried to get too friendly on her with Glowworm headbutt Arc Royal to knock her unconscious)



The Siren Tester approached Kaga and began to influence her in continuing the Orochi Project and even lied that Akagi died for her to fulfil her wishes...





Ayanami couldn't sleep and go out for a walk. She saw Enterprise who also couldn't sleep and they learn from each other that they hate fighting but have no choice in this war. Ayanami then went to the hill (from episode 1) and Laffey, Javelin and Unicorn approached her again. The three girls reintroduced themselves and finally, Ayanami also introduced herself with a smile...

We finally had a closure for our three destroyers. (Poor Nimi. Hopefully, she can join them in the future) As expected, Ayanami learns that the people in Azur Lane were no different than those in Sakura Empire and after knowing what Akagi did from Akashi, perhaps she can convince Sakura Empire to fight against the Sirens. I was expecting the Crane Sisters to join Azur Lane also since they were at the battle when Ayanami was rescued. But Shoukaku now being the alert one has already advised Nagato on how dangerous the Orochi Project is, however, Kaga is now being manipulated by Siren Tester and I am pretty sure that is not going to go well if Kaga finds out that Akagi is still alive.

Of course, we had the introduction of Arc Royal and yes, she is a Lolicon who loved to ooze on little destroyers girls since her backstory was that her real-life ship was always escorted by destroyers ships and now it is being personified ten times. At first, she was acting all normal and even watched the girls from afar but then it was too much and she finally revealed herself in the mess hall.

Now we are left with Enterprise's story and wondered how is she going to overcome her ordeal? Can the rest of the girls able to help her or history will repeat itself again? What about the Iron Blood who are just watching from the shadows? Will they make their move now with only three episodes left? Until then, see you in the next post!
