own a physical copy of this on the DS and have since at or close to launch but only just now getting to this more than a decade later. clownery.

this was as great as i expected it to be, not that i expected anything less from a Takumi game. wonderful sprite work, music, and dialogue/narratives but more than anything i was most impressed with the animations. every single character and each of their movements have so much charm. characters like Bailey have small presences in the grand scheme of the game at large but i'll remember them forever.

i think in 2024 i'm going to make a project out of targeting specific portions of my backlog, mostly games that i have owned for extended periods of time without playing or finishing yet. i feel like i've missed out on so much.
