Streamed up to episode 6. Next time Juri finally appears.
This aged pretty well. The comedy still holds up today and the characters are better than I remembered.

Yeah this is why I hesitated to link them. I hadn't viewed them in years but I was certain they had gone this way.
They had good stuff just I knew they would go the way of 4/u/ quite easily. People are too willing to eat shit these days and since people become what they eat - everyone is shit.

Christmas cake alert, she catches the character snooping around the fencing lockers but knows her parents.
It should be noted that all the character's seiyuus reappear for this and their lips move while talking as a sprite even if they're in a static position.

Looked at the walk-through and it gets a bit sidetracked a bit later, I'll focus on Juri, Utena, the other club members then Anthy.
>+1 point with Chigusa gave me a black rose.
>She's having memory trouble but gets troubled around character when she mentions her parents.
Uh oh.
She has the best music though 1.17 in the OST is her introduction and finally found it 3.14 is used in a scene. All the music in this is great.

Someone showed up. Shiori actually isn't in this but Kozue is.
Utena is pretty much key to any of the student council routes in that you have to focus on them but the guide says you also need to bump Utena's score up abit as well. I hope I get the Juri ending, the game slashes the nobility rating of the characters periodically and I'm struggling to get them up to what the guide recommends.
This here is the Infirmary, not scene in the show I think.
>Nanami is picking on character and in walks Juri.
>The student council is decided by age, Touga is president because he was born first, then Saionji.
>In cooking class, Chigusa put a thumb tack in with some chocolate sauce and had character taste test it. Utena came to the rescue like she usually does thankfully.
>Giving black hearts to Chigusa impacts how many are taken away during nobility slashes.
Whelp, looks like I'm restarting.

If you play is smart, she gives this reaction. I did mess up, negative points for her means no losing points from others. If you plus 3 like I did on the 23rd, everyone loses 4 points and that how my nobility rating for Utena went from 72 to 27%
Now I can just focus on Juri.
Slight branch on the 24th, in that my score was so low Saionji disappeared but here I'm still good with him so he's stuck around and they've gotten a card from End of the World instead of investigating where Saionji went.
>Chigusa handed back the locket to character.
>+5 for getting her locket back.
>Nanami's back and character learns the truth about her parents 15 years ago, they were both expelled from the school because he was the fencing club advisor, a teacher, and she was a student in the club.
>Juri arrives like the prince she is and Nanami isn't hiding her claws.
Should also be noted this take place in the first arc, Utena has 4 wins under her belt and Akio and Anthy are doing things but this is before the major black rose stuff, even though that's one of the endings.

>Juri shows character what's inside and character basically confesses.
Now, it's only been 4 days since she arrived but I honestly believe over the course of a few months character here could replace Shiori as an interest for Juri.
>Chigusa breaks them up. Anthy isn't messing around this time, instead Chigusa's poison is what brought her back, she wants revenge against the fencing sensei she loved that left her to die in a fire 15 years ago.

So yeah, Utena faces Chigusa in combat and the song for the duel has this weird echoing effect like it's being broadcasted around the school.
>In my playthrough, Saionji and Miki had their nobility stolen but Touga had like 7% left so he was safe. Juri fights Saionji.
They actually animated that fight, they must do that with all the characters. Hmm. Anyway, I'm in kind of trouble, that fight with Saionji slashed half my roses and Miki is still left, so I think I'm gonna fail this playthrough.
>Still got 3 roses with Utena so maybe I'm okay.

And that's Juri's path. Not too bad actually, finding that locket was crucial I think, to free her from Chigusa's grasps.
>After credits, Akio laments that his black queen was brought down by a prince.
>Experiment in a manifested soul serve as a duelist.

>Touga saying "SEEEEGAAAA."
Honestly I kinda wanna end it there. I've already seen as good as it'll get. Might do a summary.
Audio
Pretty damn good, borrows stuff from the series but has alot of it's own music you can find on Disc 7 of the music box set. You've got slow paces like Hitomi No Naka No Yokan which are always welcome. The music is as good as ever.
Visual
It is a bit of a downgrade visual wise, don't have those clear sharp lines like you do in the BDs and making it bigger blurs it out but that background and using limited moving sprites, combined with plenty of CG AND animated battles towards the end really do hype up the tension. It's over 20 years old but it follows the exact same artstyle as the show.
Story
Using a proxy stand in for the player and then wrapping the story around her was a good way to go I think, it's a short little mystery as to what happened but towards the end of disc two things really do ramp up. It's also a side story but it can connect as a bridge between Touga's second duel and the beginning of the black rose arc. Too bad everyone seems to have amnesia and forgets character though.
Characters
We already know everyone and all they're seiyuus are back bar Shiori but do you really need her anyway. Nanami only shows up twice and isn't a duelist herself yet but everyone else gets alot of screentime. Character herself does play along like a typical girl however, bright eyed transfer then turning fangirl over who she becomes close to. Chigusa herself was interesting, not just a throwaway villian and just before crashing the Yorishiro, she hesitates for a bit. She also laments that they could have been friends if she were still alive and there are moments where you do have friendly interactions with her that result in negative points for her. Taking away a person's nobility was another good angle, she took away Juri's locket for example and not only would that force her to comply, it was sink her heart deeper into despair, resulting in them become lost.
Overall
It's a fairly solid VN for how much time has passed since it's creation. It's focuses on the characters, giving some fanservice and having four more days at Ohtori you can live through. The individual routes are a bit short but the animations, visuals and all the seiyuus really do make up for it. Worth at least one playthrough for your favorite character.

Just Utena, you get Chigusa's character page if you outright fail, you get blackrose/Akio's car if you sorta fail and once you've got almost all the endings you can get the Anthy ending and get her yourself.
