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!
