This is mostly going to be about the OAV, since there really isn’t much to say about the game. It’s kind of fun, though there really isn’t all that much to it – it is a pretty easy 1000 gamer points, though the amount of travel in the 360 pads face buttons makes the higher difficulty settings a little harder than they should be. I really need to go back through and play all the tracks whilst wearing headphones in order to properly judge the remix tracks, but they are a real mixed bag. Some of them really, really don’t work – they’ve tried to turn My Best Friend into a trash metal track for it’s A-mix, and the disconnect between the backing track and the vocal is horrendous (the unreleased chip-tune-tastic B-mix at least sounds better) – whilst some of the others are great. My favourite is probably the A-mix of Aoi Tori, which is dropping in so much gothic malice that it really wouldn’t sound out of place in a Vampire movie.
Anyway, onto the OAV…

Those who were hoping that the DVD with Azusa on the cover might actually have an Azusa themed omake will be sorely disappointed with this latest DVD. Those, like myself, who were disappointed with the craptacular Futami twins omake on the last disk will no doubt take a great amount of solace in the fact that this disks Chihaya and Yukiho centric featurette quite possibly has more cuts than all the previous omake put together (including some actual animation!) – a number of which break the decency levels I hold this blog to.

For example, you could watch the original version of Gundam Seed Destinys final episode through four times in a row. You could, perhaps, pay someone to stand there and kick you in the crotch for an hour and a half. You could also sit and stare at a wall for a while, although if it has recently received a fresh lick of paint it may actually prove itself to be more worthwhile.
