IDK where else to put it so I'll just throw it here
The movie was cute, a little confusing since I didn't know the OCs, but my friend who plays has told me enough to get the gist and follow along. I decided to download the game finally after all this time, just to see
Man, I thought/hoped it was just the movie, but no, the Piapros all just. Sound like that. Using their choppy, nasally NT banks for every line of dialogue was an insane idea. Miku sounds alright at times, Rin is decent, Len is passable. But dear god, Luka, Meiko, and Kaito are downright disrespectful. What in the world. If hiring the VPs was too expensive or they wouldn't be able to voice act it all, they should've just used the Vocaloid banks for the dialogues... I know like 7 friends who went to the movie (with me or in a separate group) and none of them had played, so the reviews were mostly "it was cute but the Vocaloids sounded rough", which is kind of disappointing for anyone's intro if they're not already familiar with them, I feel?
Anyway. When I opened the game this morning, a popup said something about codes to enter from watching the movie. Was that printed on the ticket maybe? I definitely threw that away. Oops. Or maybe it was only select theaters/only in Japan.
