Now, how's about we SUMMON SOME PICTURES?!

To her it's just "a sign of friendship", but what's on our mind is "does she remember that shower scene FMV?"


The real present this Valentine's Day is being able to see both of your eyes <3


Fuuka made it herself *gulp*....but it's the thought that counts...right?


Hey hey HEY! Chidori's spoken for! Don't do it! I'm warning you, you'll reverse the Magician S.Link!


Isn't the sticker adorable? Is the Papillon Heart fluttering?


You can't summon ROMANCE from the compendium!


FYI, White Day is March 14th, when the guys reciprocate.


CRITICAL HIT! 1MORE!

Segami Daisuke also has an ongoing project, creating animated illustrations to accompany voice performances from the Persona 3 drama CD "A Certain Day In Summer". The illustrations greatly liven up the otherwise straightforward performances with in-jokes, outside references, memes (many of which are recognizable to animu fans and 4chan vets), and adorable visuals. Allow the classic music to once more burn itself into your mind, to loop forever and ever. If nothing else, it's an excellent comparison to the localized VA. It's pretty close, though the P3 VA pales in comparison to the love put into P4, IMO.

I'll provide as best a narration as I can, with my ridiculously basic Japanese, so CHECK IT:

Note of the moment: The protagonist always chooses whatever dialog option corresponds to "whatever". Like Squall, but not irritating!

Tracks illustrated so far are the ones in "She Goes For A Walk", wherein the crew takes Aigis on a tour of the town. Insignificant spoilers ahead. Just don't read the narration if you don't want to know :P


July 29th, shortly after the summer vacation to Yakushima island. Ikutsuki makes more terrible puns, and is interrupted by Mitsuru before more damage can be done. He suggests that the crew take Aigis around town, which irks Yukari. They realize that they'll have to dress her up before going out, and bust-measurement gags ensue.


Riding the train, Aigis is confused by the crew's differing descriptions of what school is like. Junpei recalls the protagonist's arrival at school, escorted by Yukari, which Fuuka says enraged the school forums. Aigis also outs Junpei by noting that their first meeting involved Junpei hitting on her.


Arriving at school, the tour group visits the classrooms (wordplay on "special points"), Student Council (reference to Chihiro), and the AV room (you were never allowed into there in-game), wherein Aigis breaks open a locked cabinet of forbidden CDs, like "Sci-Fi Attack Calls", etc. Endcap video features "Hatsune Aegisu"!


After visiting the gym, the crew comes to the Home Economics club room. A note posted on the door, written in French, warns all not to eat any food from class 2-E. Incidentally, class 2-E is Fuuka's classroom.


Junpei suggests that the [i]bottom of the exam score board is the best, which makes Mitsuru the school dunce. Illustrations for the library scene suggest that Aigis has an unusual method of scanning books. Strange smells from the infirmary force the group to the roof.[/i]


On the roof, Junpei looks for a way to cool down. Aigis notes that gunshots to the head and heart cause human body temperature to drop, and proposes that course of action for Junpei. The protagonist and Yukari recall dramatic scenes from the Yakushima vacation. Junpei tries to explain femininity to Aigis, and attempts to use Yukari as an example of its absence. Slapstick ensues. Aigis follows the men into the restroom, following her "stay close to protagonist" directive.


Visiting Paulownia Mall, the crew notes rising cases of Apathy Syndrome, and encounters Akihiko at the weapons store. When asked about the tour, Aigis says she's learning about fitting in. Junpei has her strike a pose whenever she learns something new, but the order is forcibly rescinded. Watch for references to Touhou and Akagi.

That's pretty much it. There should be one more scene that the artist is still working on, according to the site.

Happy Valentine's, you non-ronery bastards!

BATTLE TIME OVER SHUFFLE TIME NOW.

How about some Persona 4 4koma?
