Tears of Themis - released

Tears of Themis was released today, June 29 2021, 

This is a Chinese otome game by MiHoYo (other games: Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact). It doesn’t have actual routes though, so you can argue it’s not otome. *refuses to go into that discussion*

There are several release campaigns going on right now, also don’t forget to claim your pre-registration gifts!

Normally I would write a proper post about the game, and a walkthrough or guide, but I really don’t have the time to do so! Summer school is here, exams right around the corner, and then uni finally starts again in autumn. sigh......

Short post about filming C-dramas - Hengdian

So I noticed a lot of people keep commenting that sets and “cities” in C-dramas that had basically no budget as being super pretty and that they can’t believe they managed that with no money. Here's the thing: Many C-drama are filmed in Hengdian. There are a few other filming studios that are also popular, but I would say Hengdian is in the top 3, or maybe top 1.

Hengdian is one of the largest film studios in the world and is one of the most popular places to film a period drama (area total of 3,3 km2 and building areas of 495,995 m2).

If I remember correctly, there are at least 13 shooting bases. Some buildings, palaces, areas are made in the style of Qin and Han dynasty, others are exact replicas of certain buildings (like Yuanming Yuan, the old summer palace).

It's FREE to film in Hengdian. How do they stay in business, you ask? They make the money from hotels, restaurants, and renting out equipment & costumes. Some dramas or movies take only 1 month to film, others can take several months. Also Hengdian is huge, if you couldn’t tell, so there can be several film crews working at the same time. 

I would also like to point out that you can visit as a tourist. 

So far there are over 1200 films and C-dramas that have been filmed in Hengdian! Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, The Forbidden Kingdom, Mulan are some films that were filmed there.

If you watch other Chinese period dramas, you will recognize several buildings. Some C-dramas in recent years you might recognize are Once Upon A Time in Lingjian Mountain, Joy of Life, The Untamed, Word of Honor.

Like this one! Recognize it? It’s where they had that boyband karaoke consert thing in Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain

Here’s to hoping this Chinese otome game gets an English version one day

So I was looking through the last 15 months of English news on otome games and there was NOTHING about this one! I’m so sad. This Chinese otome game deserves attention!

And before you go all “gacha card collecting game with good-looking guys doesn’t make it otome”, WELL LET ME TELL YOU: THIS GAME HAS INDIVIDUAL ROUTES FOR THE 5 LOVE INTERESTS.

Like most of this type of game these days, it contains: card gacha, battle system,card stories, event stories, SMS, phone call, birthday event, etc etc. However the guys have individual routes.

Also the game is getting JP dub so there’s a chance it might get an English release. However if that happens, I REALLY hope they keep the Chinese voices! I’m so sad about L&P only going for EN & JP dub... like it’s originally in Chinese, the company who released it in English was the same Chinese company... At least ToT has the option of several dubs, including the original Chinese. (like with Genshin Impact). I just wish game companies could realize that you don’t NEED to have an English dub or JP dub for a game to be sucessful. I mean, look at Honkai Impact 3rd! That game only got the original Chinese voices and it’s super popular, even now, years after its initial release.

Blood Domination season 2 - Chihaya x Takamine released

Chihaya x Takamine’s season 2 was released today, May 27 2021, in Blood Domination.

Uzuki x Izayoi’s season 2 was released at the end of last month (don’t remember the exact date but I THINK it was April 28 2021).

“ These two have already been together for some time, and now as if keeping their ship afloat wasn't difficult enough already, their obligations as students and their future career plans make it even harder to focus. How will Chihaya's status and Takamine being a 'Switch' affect their relationship? "
