Today's acquisitions (26th October 2013)






  1. Hey RD, I'm dying to the Sengoku Basara: Burari, Bushou Futaritabi ~Kyouto-hen~ CD, do the seiyuu act as their characters or is it more of a radio talk CD? Do you also happen to know how the previous navi CDs were in the same regard? Thanks!

    1. Hello! The old travel navi CDs are mostly narrated out of character with a few segments for performing lines from the series, and they feel like a radio variety show to me.

      The newer Burari, Bushou Futaritabi ~Kyouto-hen~ CD has a different format but it's still mostly out of character, and it's really silly like the radio shows that Morikawa/Morita used to run (even down to the return of gags about Toyotomi strategist Takenoko Hamburg ^^;). They go to a bunch of shrines and temples and eat local sweets together, occasionally making reference to their characters or (in one track) reciting lines from the games.

      It's also worth noting that the new one has a solid 76 minutes of talk, so it's pretty good value. Yukimura's was really short in the old series.

  2. Ah, thank you! I've always wondered about these. I really wish they'd do more in-character but out of context/outside major storyline CDs. I absolutely love the ones that come with the Basara Magazines!
