Lenlo: Welcome back everyone for another season of anime over here at Star Crossed! By now you’ve seen all of our impressions and have a good grasp of what’s good, what’s promising and what’s just a dumpster file. That leaves only one thing left to announce: Our weekly coverage! Or should I say my weekly coverage, since Aidan is the only one potentially joining me this season. Maybe if I poke at them enough here I can get one or two to join me beyond the weekly summaries, who knows. Without further ado though I present to you our Spring 2022 lineup as well as our First Episode Awards!

It’s tough being a visual novel fan as we are the niche within a niche within a niche. Anime fans are likely to read manga and some even read light novels and some may even read web novels. But rarer than that is the anime fan that reads visual novels. So being a western VN fan can be quite painful when you see that some of the most highly lauded visual novels remain in a language you do not understand. Thankfully in recent times a lot of greatest hits of the Visual novel industry have been localised but among the white whales of long sought after localisations is Muramasa. Sadly the rights to localise this title lay in the hands of JAST who is a company rather known to take years for a single release and seem to have an iron grip on all Nitroplus works. Considering how long it takes for them to do a single release many thought that we may never be able to experience Muramasa. But straight out of nowhere JAST announced that Muramasa would release within a month pretty much catching the entire VN community off guard. Thus here we have it, the once claimed untranslatable VN is now available to read for English audiences. I might as well say from the outset that this is one of those VN were going in blind is the best option and while I will be avoiding spoilers it may be best to experience this on your own before looking at this review provided you are interested. That said if you don’t have an interest then maybe this little review of mine could get you intrigued. If you wish to know if I recommend this visual novel then my answer is absolutely yes.
