The main pastime for young people on Midorijima is a VR game known as Rib, and there are whole gangs devoted to playing Rib and a newer game, Rhyme. He has no family other than his grandmother and his robot-dog, Ren (also known as an All-Mate, the name given to the personal electronic assistants that most of the residents of Midorijima own).

He finds it weird, but also knows that using his voice in a certain way can persuade customers to buy stuff they don’t need, which is good for business so he just goes with it. It’s on a similar level to ‘Steins:Gate’ in terms of its sci-fi plot and its focus on one person struggling to save the world by saving individual people.Īoba works in a junk shop selling second-hand tech, and frequently gets telephone calls from customers who, for some reason, simply want to hear his voice. The good endings nearly all involve some fairly explicit sex, the bad endings are horrifically extreme, and the overall plot is so much more than just a harem romance. The visual novel, by Nitro+Chiral, is a bit far out compared to standard dating sims, even though it has the same basic structure of selecting from a harem of colour-coded bishounen and pursuing different character-routes to get good or bad endings.
Dmmd game running issues series#
If you’ve heard of DMMD but never watched the series or played the game, chances are you know it as ‘that weird BL dating game’. But then some off-hand comments I made about ‘Carole & Tuesday’ reminding me of ‘Dramatical Murder’ led me to re-watch the series and look at what’s happening in the world of DMMD fanfiction, and I figured that its junk-shop setting and its themes of re-setting and making new might actually make it a good fit for this month’s Second Hand September posts. It was tough to think of any anime that might link with the theme. I haven’t blogged much about anime specifically, during Second Hand September (I haven’t blogged much about anything, honestly, but that’s a different story!).
