Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The blind swordman, an audiogame with tactics
Hi.
The game is available for Pc and Mac but not Iphone.
As to Anime, Cartoonish and anime are not the same thing at all.
"cartoonish" in the western sense usually means goofy or nonsensical, like
the sort of thing you'd see in Road runner or bugs bunny or similar, Blind
swordsman is not like that at all sinse it is a serious game with a
serious and rather grim plot.
I used the term Anime there because most people associate stories of
combat, mystic curses and the like with Japanese Animation. Really this
again is something of a mistake sinse in japan "anime" means anything
animated which can pretty much be any genre from romantic comedy to
serious drama, to historical to horror. The principle reason people
associate the term "Anime" in the west with things like Dragon ball,
mighty duels, magic, robots, tentacle monsters and samurai who can cleave
tanks in half with swords is because the first Anime that were brought to
the west in translation were of this type, ---- though these are by no
means all of what is possible in Anime at all.
I just gave the term sinse the plot of Blind swordsman reminded me
strongly of Afro Samurai, Samurai seven and a few of the more tradditional
action style Anime I've seen and is what people would recognize by the
term.
Either way, give it a try it's a good game :D.
Beware the grue!
DArk.
