Hey everybody, Tay here. Kotaku’s published another VN review, this time focusing on Kara no Shojo. Richard Eisenbeis, the author, leads with this statement which concisely articulates the points of the review itself:
Kara no Shojo (The Girl in the Shell) is simply one of the most graphic and disturbing visual novels I have ever played. It is also one of the most captivating.
Richard Eisenbeis had previously reviewed Saya no Uta (while his feelings were mixed on the game, he did recommend it with a Kotaku “Yes”). Kara no Shojo similarly gets a “Yes”, but it comes with a caveat, pictured below:
Whether or not you like Kotaku, it’s certainly widely-read in the gaming community, and is slowly evangelizing our little-known genre. Let’s just hope Richard picks a less-depressing/-disturbing game next time.

EDIT: Thanks to Daniel who reminded me in the comments that Richard Eisenbeis also reviewed If My Heart had Wings on Kotaku. Link below:
Kotaku: Review of If My Heart Had Wings
i think they also reviewed if my heart had wings once .
Not sure how I could have forgotten about that one! Thank you — I edited it into the article.

seems like he plays only offical realased games?
These are all mangaGamer realases i think.
If My Heart had Wings was actually localized by MoeNovel ! 🙂
I really need to get around to reading this at some point…
Still haven’t enough courage to read Kara no Shoujo. I can stand something like Saya no Uta, but KnS sounds like something on an entirely new level…
OOT:Actually I was expecting an article about Sunrider KS on fuwa (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1500482054/sunrider). Regardless of people’s mixed reaction at his past work (Homeward), I think he deserves a coverage here.
If you were able to stomach Saya no Uta I think you will be fine with Kara no Shojo.
I hate to be off topic here, but could someone pretty please upload the “Voice.pac” file from Majikoi (the first one, not the S) or just point me to a link somewhere else. Mine says it’s corrupt, and I’d hate to redownload all 6.9 GB all over again just to get this one sodding file. I’m not forcing anyone but I’ve scour the Internet high and low to no avail, so this is my only option. Again, sorry
Wait for 1 hour while I upload the files.
Ps: There is no need to do something you hate! If you ever wnna make another request, just register in the forums and post it in the appropriate section. I’m sure somebody will help you!
Sorry for the wait… I forgot about you, and when I came back the Upload had stopped halfway… ^^,
Anyway, here it is. Hope it works!
