Anime Review: Megami Paradise

Megami Paradise is a 1995 OVA series which is about the goings on in a paradise populated by beautiful goddesses. Sounds alright to me! It’s based on PC game series from around the same time and, like the games, includes a healthy serving of light fanservice!

Premise:

Mama Megami, the mother goddess and ruler of paradise is retiring. Her successor appoints a young mage named Lilith to be one of her guardians. Lilith’s first assignment is to recruit two more worthy guardians for the new Mama Megami. Not an easy task, as Stashia, the first candidate on Lilith’s short list is not interested. Lilith didn’t even have a chance to ask the second person on the list, a warrior named Juliana due to a misunderstanding caused by Stashia’s little sister Rurubell. Rurubell wants to be a guardian, but Lilith turned her down due to her very young age and lack of experience. Meanwhile, Paradise is under attack by an evil goddess who wants to dominate it, and it’s up to Lilith, Stashia, Rurubell, and Juliana to thwart the attackers.

For a start, in paradise, the girls wear loose and revealing outfits! That’s a big tick!

The only nipple reveal came in episode one with a damaged clothing shot!

Weekly Round-up 03/08/2019

Time to put another week behind us, sit back and look at some of the recent highs, lows and lewds in the world of anime, manga and all things weeaboo.

Wonder Festival

The 28th of July brought us one of my favourite otaku events to stalk the internet over. That’s right, hold onto your wallet, folks, it’s Summer Wonder Festival (WonFes). As more pictures come out I’ll do a separate post for this, but in the mean time here’s a gallery of some figures that spoke to me!

Kanata No Astra Beach episode

Kanata no Astra is starting to surprise by letting a little fanservice slip here and there. This week it was a beach episode, and they didn’t waste the opportunity to show of the girls’ sexy figures in bikinis!

Sounan Desu ka #5

Bra and panties seems to have become the main uniform for the stranded girls of Sounan Desu Ka, and this week was no different. Here’s some good shots of Homare, who is damn fine to look at!

Fire Force #3

Fire force introduces a feisty and sexy new girl who seems to embody the spirit of a cat, Tamaki. She’s rocketed right to the top of seasonal best girls with her intro episode and seems to attract lewd accidents. Definitely what the show needed!

Megami Magazine

The end of every month brings with it a new issue of iconic bishoujo magazine, Megami. I have to say, in the last few issues they seem to have been turning down the lewd factor a little bit, but there are still some posters and pages with drooling over. My picks of the month:

Omega Labyrinth Life Released!

A game that has had a thorny path to release in the west after effectively being banned from release on the PS Vita, Omega Labyrinth’s newest version is now available to the west thanks to the Nintendo Switch. I’ll definitely be getting it and lewding some of these cute girls!

Pantsu ni Hi (Panties Day)!

Japan loves having days for quirky things, and yesterday was the day of panties! Here are some tweets I stumbled across that celebrated this most holy of days:

Introducing… Super Real Mahjong

With the recent announcement of several entries in the Super Real Mahjong game series coming to Switch and the news that one of them had to be pulled from the Nintendo e-shop for further censorship, I thought it was a good time to do a bit of “research” into the topic. Being a fan of both mahjong and semi-dressed teenage anime girls, my interest was firmly piqued.

Super Real Mahjong is a long running game series by SETA corporation which revolves around competing with cute girls in one-on-one mahjong and featuring stripping/fanservice elements. The bedrock of the series has been its arcade releases and PC ports in Japan, which featured uncensored nudity of the girls when they lost one too many pieces of clothing. From the 4th in the series it started getting toned-down versions on mainstream consoles and gained a broad popularity.

In 1990 it even spawned an anime OVA, which I’ll do a separate review of at some point!

Here’s an overview of the main entries in the series – there are many other minor spinoffs and rereleases but these are the ones that introduce all the girls.

Super Real Mahjong PI -PIII

Super Real Mahjong started life as a series of three arcade games. The first game (1987) didn’t feature any cute girl or stripping and was a more strait forward mahjong versus game. With the second game released later that year, the game found its groove and introduced what it would become known for – animated stripping! The girl in this game was called Shoko (green hair above).

The third game continued the trend, this time introducing two different girls – Kasumi and Miki.

It’s break out of the arcade came as a release of P2 and P3 combined into a PC game.

Super Real Mahjong PIV

The fourth entry in the series really upped the ante on its artwork and the appeal of its undressing gals. This time it featured three girls – Mana, Yuu and Kaori.

This one got a console release on NES in 1993. The arcade and PC versions had the nudity goods while the NES version, naturally, had those elements removed.

Super Real Mahjong PV

The next installment came the year after, in 1994. This one again pushed new ground in the quality of its girls and artwork, featuring extended anime style clip sequences. Same story as the others, this one came out uncensored on PC/arcade, uncensored on Sega Saturn and on SNES as a different version.

This game has been released for the Switch in Japan

Super Real Mahjong PVI

Continuing the quality of 5, part 6 again hires a great bishoujo artist and features well-animated stripping sequences. One unique thing about this game is that it played up the schoolgirl elements well, especially on the loli-ish character of Tamami. Tamami starts off in bloomers and has a cute small chest.

This one again came out uncensored on PC and arcade as well as censored on Sega Saturn.

This game has been released for the Switch in Japan

Super Real Mahjong P7

1997 bought the 7th and perhaps final true entry in the series. It retained the great nudity and animation of the previous couple of games with a bustier, more mature set of girls. I find the twin-tailed Yurina especially cute!

Same deal as before with PC/arcade uncensored releases and a censored Sega Saturn port.

This game has been released for the Switch in Japan

Super Real Mahjong Dōsōkai

Handheld version released on Game Boy Advance in 2004 with the nudity elements removed. One thing this release had going for it is that it did feature all the girls from prior games.

Super Real Mah-jong

The original maker’s shift into mobile games was short-lived but provided plenty of eye-candy in the spirit of the original games. Released on android, it featured the usual strip mechanics with a lot of artwork, including of the cast from earlier games. Predictably it was delisted from the puritanical Google Play store and ultimately closed its servers. After then, production of the franchise went to a different firm, Mighty Craft.

Anime OVA

The first generation of girls (P2 – PIII) were lucky enough to be featured in a proper anime OVA in 1990. It was only a single half hour episode but provided lots of good animated scenes of the girls. Perhaps not surprisingly, it featured more fanservice than Mahjong…

I’ll probably do a full post on this at some point!



Series Future

Under Mighty Craft, the franchise has now moved to a focus on mobile with games being released for Android which of course don’t feature the lewd elements and are suitable for 13+.

It still has a lasting popularity however, as shown by the release of three of the older games on Nintendo Switch. The Switch versions may be censored, but only as minimally as they can to get a rating, still making them good fanservice content,

As for whether we’ll get more nudity from the series, that remains to be seen. I’ll



Senran Kagura Peach Ball Released on Switch!

Marvelous Games has localised the new Senran Kagura game for the switch and it’s now available via the online store.

I’ve only played Peach Beach Splash before, which I loved. The theme of this game is pinball, which could be fun, and animal girls which is right up my alley! It’s a must buy for me so I’ll probably write a review of it soon.
