To The Moon’s developer reveals new trailer for the sequel

Earlier today, the indie developer for To The Moon, Kan Gao, has released a two-minute trailer for the game’s sequel, Finding Paradise.

To The Moon is an indie adventure game focusing mainly on its story and puzzle-solving gameplay centered around two doctors, Neil and Eva, as they traverse the memories of their client, Johnny Wyles, in order to fulfill his childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut.

The game’s sequel, Finding Paradise, promises the same focus on story, music and puzzle-solving as the doctors, Neil and Eva, traverse through a dying patient’s memories to artificially fulfill their last wish.

Granted, the first minute doesn’t start in a serious tone. However, the trailer shows that the game will be released on December 14th. It will continue where we left off from the first To The Moon game, but now, the story will be focused on two key points: a dying patient, and a repeatedly referenced island throughout the trailer.

Here’s hoping that Finding Paradise will offer the same amount of feels as it did in its predecessor, To The Moon.

Violet Evergarden shows a new 40-second PV

ANIME, NEWS – On August 11th, Kyoto Animation‘s youtube channel uploaded another preview for their upcoming anime series, Violet Evergarden.

Unofficial translation by h4yze, r/anime:

0:00 I want to know… I want to know what love is
0:14 a girl with no emotions
0:22 a girl who doesnt know yet
0:28 what love means
At the end it says
broadcast begins January 2018 x worldwide distribution?????????

In the video description, it details that the anime series will broadcast on January 2018 and there will be a “worldwide distribution.” Not much information in regards to what “worldwide distribution” implies but I assume it means they’re giving rights for certain companies to sell the anime.

A girl with no emotions. A girl who doesn’t know yet what love means.

Hype. (internal screaming)

The official website released key visuals, character designs for the three main characters and the staff on Monday. The anime will air on Japanese television studio Tokyo MX from July to September with twelve episodes.

Enter main protagonist, Himeno Kimihara – a centaur girl with a gentle personality. She is at the age where she is conscious of her body growth.

Enter second main protagonist, Nozomi Gokuraku – a dragon girl. She is Himeno’s friend with a rough personality and lives in a karate dojo.

Kyouko Nakaraku, a horned girl. She is Himeno’s friend and has a cool and composed personality.

Sakae Shibuya (Guilty Crown) is the general animation director and character designer. Touko Machida (Wake up, Girls!) is in charge of series composition.

Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed the manga series and this is their synopsis:

Being a teenager is never easy…especially for a centaur! Himeno is a sweet, shy girl, who like many teens her age, struggles with the trials and tribulations of attending high school. The difference is she’s a centaur; but she’s not alone. In fact, all of her classmates are supernatural creatures, sporting either horns, wings, tails, halos, or some other unearthly body appendage. Yet despite their fantastical natures, Himeno and her best friends—the dragon-winged Nozomi, and Kyoko with her spiraled horns—are down-to-earth, fun- loving teenagers who grapple with issues of life and love in a mostly normal daily school setting.

As for this writer’s opinion, here’s to more animal girls!
