Here's more updates about the much anticipated H-game, Koihime Musou. Like Sangoku Musou (aka. Dynasty Warriors) it's based off of the ancient Chinese Three Kingdoms period, but has the twist where most of the characters are girls instead of guys. Typical of H-games you have your characters ranging from jailbait loli to mature, big-breasted women. It's pretty obvious from just a glance that this game is targeted at a male audience. I mean, it's an H-game for crying out loud. Of course guys are going to play it.
So what surprised me the most today is that they announced two new characters: Zuo Ci and Yu Ji who were both mysterious sages in the original Three Kingdoms novel, who messed around with Cao Cao and Sun Ce respectively. Interestingly, in Koihime they're actually male and voiced by Midorikawa Hikaru and Koyasu Takehito.
o___O WHAT?!
These are two of the biggest names in the male seiyuu industry, and being large names they're known for being FANGIRL MAGNETS. Any fangirl worth their salt knows who they are and what they sound like. (Incidentally their names aren't officially annouced with their characters, but I can tell who they are from the voice samples. If there are two voices I can pick out of a crowd...it's Midorikawa and Koyasu. I stake my little fangirl soul on it.) So if they're such fangirl magnets...why are they in an H-game? Unless they're gay for each other, or the main character you play as (Liu Bei) can be gay for them, you're not going to pull in much of the fangirls.
...I think the developers of this game are just trying to cover all the bases. Not that I'm complaining you know.
