They’re not only aesthetically appealing, but also have so many variations that they can effectively engage in dynamic battle sequences and otherwise appear in, and move around, the screen in an emotionally-evocative manner.įor example, there were some comedic scenes that were made all the more funny when characters would suddenly appear behind Shanao’s back, only to have her dart away from them to the other side of the screen. I’ve consistently been impressed with the visuals in Birushana – most notably, the character sprites. I was there with them on their ups and downs, and I’ll miss watching them overcome adversity to defy destiny and fulfil their star-crossed love.Īrtist: Koji Haneda is the artist and animator responsible for the character design in ‘Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei’. I don’t think I’ve ever read such a passionate romance where the two sincerely see each other as their true match (in both strength and love), so it’s safe to say this route absolutely captivated my heart. They were so deeply connected that I could practically see the red strings of fate pulling them together and it’ll be strange to start the story from scratch and pursue someone else after feeling like they were literally perfect for each other. I love the way they’re standing back-to-back while they fight together, surrounded by enemies! I haven’t played the other routes yet, and to be honest, I’m having a hard time imagining Shanao being with anyone else! Their natural chemistry led to a deeply passionate, emotional romance that made them seem like soulmates. Which is exactly how Noritsune’s one-sided rivalry could become a mutually-competitive relationship with Shanao that pushes both of them to be better and fight for the lives they wish to lead. Since this route takes place over an extended period of time (I’m not certain exactly how long, but I got the impression it was at least a couple of years), both Noritsune and Shanao have plenty of opportunities to grow, learn, and become mature young adults – allowing them far more believable character growth than a story that takes place over a shorter timeframe. I thought he’d be arrogant, spoiled, and immature - and he was, to start with. ![]() ![]() Noritsune is a determined man of principles, dedicated to becoming his ideal version of a warrior.įurthermore, Noritsune’s introduction made him seem like a cocky, spitfire tsundere who’d never heard the word ‘no’ before. ![]()
