Hai to Gensou no Grimgar, also known as Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash or Grimgar le Monde des cendres et de fantaisie, was based on a Japanese light novel series written by Ao Jumonji and illustrated by Eiri Shirai. There’s also the manga adaptation that started back in 2015. The light novel started on June 2013 and is still ongoing. It currently has 7 volumes so far.
Dimension W was adapted from a manga with the same title by Yuji Iwahara. The manga is currently ongoing in Square Enix’s Monthly Big Gangan magazine and it’s been going since 2011.
I recently purchased Playstation 4 (PS4) since there are quite a few jRPGs coming in this 2016 or was already released late last year. First game I bought was Sword Art Online: Lost Song.
Don’t get me wrong, as much as I enjoy Sword Art Online (SAO) franchises in general, my expectation was very low story wise. Not to mention, I played Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment on PS Vita but couldn’t get into it further after floor 80. I got bored with it even though I did enjoy the random side stories/skits with other main characters.
How was SAO: Lost Song?
Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm (蒼の彼方のフォーリズム) is also known as Aokana: Four Rhythm Across the Blue or just Aokana. This anime series of 12-episode long is based on an adult visual novel developed by Sprite and was released back on November 28, 2014, for Windows. In addition, a manga adaption has started running on Monthly Ace Magazine since October 2015 and there’s also an upcoming release of the visual novel for PlayStation Vita.
Sprite itself is relatively unknown (at least to me) as there’s not much information on the internet of their other visual novel releases except Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate (Source: VN DB)
Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi (僕だけがいない街) is also known as Erased and is based on a manga with the same title serialized on Young Ace by Kei Sanbe (story and art). It’s been running since 2012 and it appears that the series ending this March 2016. It makes sense for the anime series to start running on this winter 2016.
