My opinions on the different entries of the larger Kitano series! (Kitano, Mega's Prophecy, Zuper Zane XII, Greatest Kitano!)

This will be my opinion of four major entries related to Kitano, being Kitano, Mega's Prophecy, Zuper Zane XII, and Greatest Kitano! Your opinions may differ from mine, but regardless, let the review begin!

Entry 1: Kitano

The cover of the first story in the Kitano series














Year created: 2014 (Image Story)/2019 (Text Story)/2020 (Game)

Protagonist Characters:
Merlin
Tank
Moony
Sips

Antagonist:
Noipazez
Paradox Heart

Medium:
Image Story
Video
Text Story
Video Game

Pros:
+Can be enjoyed in both story and game format
+The original
+Shows Merlin and Tank's origins
+Noipazez as villain

Cons:
-Odd story format (Image story and video)
-Shows too many stat pages (Image story and video)
-Shortest of the four series
-References to Mertle's Prophecy that would be confusing if
you didn't read that first.

My opinion: Read/play it! It's not very long, and it's pretty entertaining! 
It's quite the trip, as most people I have shown the series will agree!


Entry 2: Mega's Prophecy

A cover for one of the stories of Mega's Prophecy





















Year created: 2014-2015 (Image Story)/2019 (Text Story)

Protagonist Characters:
Merlin
King Garfield
Jeb
Samithia

Antagonist:
Trojan Vista
Paradox Heart

Medium:
Image Story
Text Story

Pros:
+Direct sequel to the Kitano series
+Attacks shown are more related to characters
+First appearance of Time Kitano and Nilrem
+Super Kitano
+Last story has Sam, Wilber, and Moony fighting alongside Merlin
+Return of Paradox Heart

Cons:
-Confusing Title
-Lack of Tank the Tumser Dokum and Noipazez
-Same odd story format as Kitano
-Less memorable characters (Besides King Garfield, some of the Corrupt Kitanos, and characters that already existed)
-Too many Sparta.exes
-Characters that seem interesting not focused on/killed off 
(Swiss Mouse, Dad, Donnie, the other Tank, all Corrupt Kitanos
besides Time Kitano)

My opinion: If you can't get enough of Merlin the Kitano, you
can give this a try. There's only a couple of things from this
series that carry on to other series, being Nilrem, a few
of the Corrupt Kitanos, and Super Kitano. Otherwise, it's not
really that interesting unless you like the concept of Sparta.exe
and the hacker that becomes a major villain. Don't read this 
unless you've read the original Kitano series.


Entry 3: Zuper Zane XII (Time)

The cover used to get the word out about Zuper Zane XII

















Year created: 2019

Protagonist Characters:
Zane
Merlin
Rowmiow

Antagonist:
Sam Jr.
5th Gardener

Medium:
Text Story

Pros:
+Crossover between Zuper Zane, Kitano, and Feralocity
+Tank the Tumser Dokum, the 4th Gardener, and Merlin's brother
Nilrem make an appearance
+Emphasis on Merlin and Rowmiow in a lot of stories
+Battles that seem more intense than the previous series

Cons:
-Text only
-Confusing if you haven't read Zuper Zane and Feralocity
-Many characters die, a lot of which are pretty depressing
-Tragic/bittersweet ending
-My ex makes a cameo

My opinion: You should read it, but you show familiarize yourself with Kitano, Zuper Zane, and Feralocity first. I honestly like the
story, but it tends to hit me in the feels whenever I reread it.
You should read the other series, as well as Zuper Zane and Feralocity first if you want the ideal experience from this series, as otherwise, the impact of certain events may be lost on you. If you don't want to be hit in the feels, however, stay away from Zuper Zane XII!


Entry 4: Greatest Kitano!

Title Screen of Greatest Kitano!























Year created: 2017

Protagonist Characters:
Merlin
Aigagag
Zapin
Tank
Noipazez

Antagonist:
Dirdyo
Paradox Heart

Medium:
Video Game

Pros:
+Game
+Tank and Noipazez are playable, as well as Noipazez's wife Aigagag
+You go to many worlds/times
+Appearances from characters from other series, with Dirdyo being
pretty major.

Cons:
-Incredibly linear to the point you can feel it
-Secrets aren't that interesting
-Can only be played on Windows
-The only interesting secret involves a cameo from my ex and is
really secret
-Many references and connections to Noipazez Vs. Zekk that might
not be understood if that game isn't played first. This includes
Aigagag.

My opinion: It's a decent game, but it's not as connected with the original Kitano series as the previous entries, though it does provide things that will enhance the experience for those who have read Kitano and Mega's Prophecy. You can play this if you want to, but you should complete Noipazez Vs. Zekk first to get maximum enjoyment from this game.


And that's it for my opinion about these entries in the series! I hope your day is going well! Bye!

No selfie today, but who needs selfies when you got Merlin the Kitano?

Zezapion's Light II Omega has been updated!

The remake of Zezapion's Light II made in RPG Maker MV, Zezapion's Light II Omega has recieved a major update!

What was changed is as follows:
-Two new ways to play, being Zezapion's Light Ozzy Mode and Zezapion's Light Special
-New playable character Ozzy!
-New optional boss if you choose to have Ozzy in your team (Ozzy Mode and Special)
-Update to the designs of Nutnutians
-Update to the battle sprites of Donnie, Metor Zane, and Metor Dad
-Options for differently colored windows
-Update to the credits to make it show my preferred name

Also, multiple guides were added in a folder in the zip file, and a text document with the description of the game was added.

"It is 2008, a year after Zane, Light, Amber, and Rose had escaped from the Beauty Kingdom. Now, however, there is a meteor slowly headed towards their home city of Frederick, and Zane, with the help of the old allies, Light, Amber, and Rose, as well as new allies, Sam, No Name, Olivia, and someone else, is trying to stop the meteor before it's too late, but there is something sinister behind the meteor...

In this remake of Zezapion's Light II, you get to play through the game in the three styles that the original allowed! You can choose to go through the game with the original heroes, go with Ozzy instead, or go through the game with only Zane, Ozzy, and Sam! There is also a new chapter of the game unlocked in this remake after completing the story from the original, and in this new chapter, it is up to you to save the future from your own future selves!"

You can find the download link for the game on the Games page!

Also, you might be interested to know that, using the sprites from the game, I made a cover for the game designed after the cover of the original Zezapion's Light II! Here it is!


Also, in other news, I'm on HRT now! (Well, I have been for a couple of weeks now) Also, I got the pill form of my estrogen and t-blockers! Yay!

And, here's today's selfie! What, you didn't think I'd forget, did you?
