| Sakura no Uta -Sakura no Mori no Ue o Mau- // サクラノ詩－櫻の森の上を舞う－ What is Mind? No Matter. What is Matter? Never Mind  A story full of mystery and fantastic elements, it also has some incredibly well-constructed three-dimensional characters (like Musashi from Vagabond or Guts from Berserk) which will be very easy for you to see them as real people. With such well-made characters and the endless interactions that there can be, it is impossible for one to get bored reading this (at least starting from the "true story"). Here are some brief impressions of each route: Well, if you came this far, let me congratulate you, the 2 most boring routes have finished, from now on, the real story begins. In general, I'd say that the main attraction of this vn is its drama, more or less intense in some routes than in others but it is always present. A story that, although it contains fantastic elements, has a solid argument so that one can accept everything that happens with relative ease. Another point that quite attracts my attention is its great philosophical charge, it deals with topics such as what being a true genius means or what is the art. I must say that I barely have some knowledge those fields but it was quite easy for me to understand and assimilate so it's an aspect that I really enjoyed. Also, I love OST. The only things I didn't understand anything were the poems, I suppose it is logical since they are translated from Japanese, it must be difficult to grasp the meaning of these during the translation. In addition, the fact that you are forced to play the routes in a certain order is not by mere whim of the author, it is so that the story progresses in such a way that you can draw together the threads by yourself. It does not really have negative points, the only one I could point out, although it does not bother me very much, would be that when you are on a route, the other characters disappear from the map, as if they did not exist anymore. Sometimes, you may ask "what if this character was there". But I repeat, it does not bother me much, because it has to be really complicated to make sure that the conflicts of some characters do not interfere with those of others in the same timeline, and being so many, I think they have done it very well. The soundtrack is not that impressive, but some of them enters in a perfect moment and greatly accentuate the emotion of that moment, so I don't have many complaints, it has a good repertory. As for the drawing, they generally have a good quality except for a few ones, but the paintings that they show us, although I don't understand much about art, I must say that they are quite impressive (I don't know if they all exist irl though). You can see that they put a lot of effort in the images that really matters, so in the technical section they also left me quite satisfied. 10/10, currently my favourite visual novel. |
