What sets this apart from other otome game adaptations is that it actually has fight scenes that are detailed and last longer than a few seconds. Why yes, everything about that plot is pretty vague, but throughout the series it unravels it all while dedicating myriad time to the main character bonding with each handsome member of the Shinsengumi secret police. They arrest her, contemplate silencing her, and then discover who her father was, a man who also has a mysterious connection to the Shinsengumi. This leads her to witnessing a murder by creatures, and then witnessing the Shinsengumi take them out. The story follows a girl looking for her father. It was successful in both pleasing fans of the games and making fans of the anime want to play said games. This also explains why it has gotten so many subsequent seasons and even movies. While there are quite a few beloved otome game anime adaptations out there, Hakuoki remains low-key the best one. It is, however, a very good game for those that do like otome games with more plot than just beautiful men. It leaves the romantic plots languishing and the actual plot badly paced. The biggest issue with Code:Realize is that it tries to wedge what is truthfully a very girthy and detailed plot into just 12 episodes. She is ultimately stolen from the British Military guarding the cursed substance within her by terrorist and gentleman thief, Arsene Lupin. Needless to say, it has had a pretty negative impact on her ability to have interpersonal relationships. Her father implanted something powerful in her body that will rot anything that touches her skin. It follows a girl who lives in a secluded mansion with hazy memories. As such, the Code: Realize anime brings the hefty plot of the game to life with mixed results. The Code: Realize game is unique in that it is a romance otome game, yes, but also a really intriguing adventure game. It leaves you a bit out of luck if you fall for someone that is not him. While Uta no Prince-sama is a keystone of otome game anime, it tries to give every boy that best boy spotlight, but you, the audience, can clearly see who the main love interest is supposed to be. Now the seasoned shoujo watcher may suspect she meets and falls in love with her idol there, but no, they twist it up by making the main man his twin brother instead. In it, a girl aims to compose songs for an idol she enjoys, so enrolls at a competitive music school to achieve that dream. Uta no Prince-SamaĪll-male idol anime is meant to appeal to otome game fans, but Uta no Prince-Sama is an idol anime and adapted from an otome game as well. It put literally everyone who enjoyed it right on tilt. This in itself is a fine way to do things, but what makes it notoriously maddening to otome game anime fans is the ending of the series. Well, in terms of romance, it has a clear winner. She meets a number of handsome historical figures from that time and discovers that she has the very special power to see ghosts.įrom there, a problem arises each episode, which is then solved by her special power and the handsome boy that happens to be accompanying her in that episode. It follows a girl that is sent to a version of Meiji Era Japan in which people accept that ghosts exist. This is one of those notoriously disappointing anime series adapted from otome games. That said, there are many handsome archetypes here, and that is really the charm of the series. However, for an anime series, it is often rather confusing. Now see, this is an excellent plot for Amnesia, the otome game, since it is interesting to unravel that story yourself. As it turns out, she was friends with and possibly stalked by a number of handsome men whose relation to her she recovers piece by piece. She later discovers that a spectral being manifesting in our world was the cause of it, so that being is now helping her regain her memories. One day a girl faints and wakes up with amnesia. AmnesiaĪmnesia is not just the title of this series, but the plot too. Instead, you can just go play what is also a very good otome game to get that romantic plot line. This means that your best boy may not win, but they aren’t losing to another boy either. There is tons of flirting, but the relationships build to about close friends without ever tipping over the edge. What makes this particular adaptation so successful, aside for that lovely animation, is that it has very little focus on romance. Kamigami no Asobi is about a human girl who is transported to a special school in which she must instruct young deities on the wiles of the human heart before they can leave and go about their godly business. We’ll start off the list strong with one of the better otome game adaptations.
