Review | As a lolige aficionado, I was very excited when I first heard the news that this classic of the genre would finally receive an English translation. In the end, however, I didn’t even finish the visual novel, since I was bored to death halfway through. If you have a setting that makes no sense, better do something clever with it. But what I got instead was a dry treatise on trains. Make no mistake: This visual novel is about trains, trains, trains! Everything else is secondary, for example writing that doesn’t make the longest-winded scenes of Katawa Shoujo look exciting in contrast. It would have helped a lot if some of the characters had interesting personalities or if there was a slowly developing romance. But NOPE! I also have to say that I found the concept of the loli train robots monumentally stupid. It’s so stupid that it wouldn’t even work in an over-the-top parody, and here it’s played completely straight. I guess if you’re obsessed with trains, this could be THE visual novel for you. But it certainly wasn’t for me. The artwork is fantastic, though. |
