More Haruka

It's time to revisit the guys of the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de series of otome games. The franchise is steadily going as a fifth installment is planned. The artwork in this post comes from the games as well as the various manga and anime adaptations.

Happy Halloween 2009 - Anime and Others

Here's the second Halloween 2009 post featuring anime and other stuff.  Above is a pic from Kuroshitsuji and you'll find another one below:

The crew from Bleach gets into the act in this pic, although it's unfortunate that Renji is the mummy:

Next up are the guys from Pandora Hearts:

Some of the guys from the video game Haruka 3 celebrate in the next pic:

You'll believe vampires can have cat ears after this pic of the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle crew:

These last few pics aren't exactly Halloween-related, but they are appropriate.  Nero and Dante from Devil May Cry 4 are done in a different style for (what I believe) are a series of light novels:

 

Finally, in what might be a Halloween tradition, some vampires (and vampire hunters) from Vampire Knight:

Have a safe, and happy Halloween!

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de

After covering the guys of such games/animes like La Corda d'Oro and Neo Angelique, it makes sense to cover the other major franchise of otome games from Koei, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de (aka Haruka: Beyond The Streams of Time). 

Haruka's storyline is somewhat reminiscent of Fushigi Yugi as it features a modern girl who gets drawn into a world that resembles Heian period Japan.  The girl is hailed as a priestess and, as a result, is surrounded by a group of hot guys who protect her.

The original game spawned a franchise that also includes manga, anime, drama CDs, and a movie in addition to several sequels.  The art in today's post comes from a combination of these sources.

The anime TV series was released in America by Bandai Visual USA, which was folded into Bandai Entertainment.  Viz Media is currently releasing the manga.
