Original Air Date: May 22nd 2009 Megami Paradise (女神天国or Megami Tengoku) is a Japanese game I bought off of eBay two years back for $6.99 for the PC Engine (Super CD). As I was checking for information I was a little surprised by the lack of info on the game. All I found was some mid-range quality cover scans the two animes made after this game on VHS and little to no real screenshots. In fact I couldn’t even find an iso of it on the net for download only it’s PC-FX sequel (though one might exist) which puzzled me even more in this silly thing we call life these days. So since I haven’t seen anyone else with videos for this I felt I should put some up. The game deals with a young goddess (in training...sort of) named Ling-Ling (Rin-Rin) who is as clueless as she is smokin hot...in case you don’t know she’s an idiot (a lot of the time). One day four mysterious orbs land in Ling-Ling’s magical world...the orbs are meant to maintain balance but Ling-Ling thinks otherwise. She plays with them instead and ends up losing all of them! If they fall into the wrong hands evil will fill the world...and their is a dark group of goddesses who seek them for themselves. More explained in gameplay. The game features talented seiyuu but one of particular note is Kikuko Inoue (井上喜久子) who has voiced many popular characters in anime and video games (Black/Matrix Ah! My Goddess Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and even Evil Zone’s Ihadurca among many other things b.../b

Original Air Date: May 23rd 2009 This game sure has a lot of great-looking anime scenes! In this game the main character is Ling-Ling (Rin-Rin) who finds a fairy named Pop (Poppu). Lin-Lin goes around to fix a problem that she herself started. A lot of things were explained in the introduction so I’ll discuss the gameplay instead. You gain level-ups like traditional RPGs by gaining experience points but you won’t learn any skills that way. To learn some skills you must find different flowers (they look like Sunflowers) around the world and search them. The flowers actually have spirits inside them that are named after zodiac signs (Cancer Aries Scorpio etc.). You can only keep four different skills and to obtain different ones you must give up a skill you currently have. However with other party members you can have more skills (although no one party member can have more than four skills). Besides those four skills that you obtain from flowers you can get a ’cosplay’ skill. Megami Paradise utilizes an unusual ’Cosplay System’ where you change appearance depending on the clothes/armor you wear. Not only do you change appearance in the dressing room you change appearance on the map and even in special cutscenes (depending on particular clothes setups) which I thought was pretty cool. If you wear the right combination of clothes you can gain a fifth skill. For example dressing up as a tennis player with a tennis shirt tennis skirt tennis racket (weapon b.../b
