What is SHUFFLE!?

SHUFFLE! is an ero-game that was released on January 30, 2004. The pre-sales hype was mainly because of that this game was done by the new softhouse Navel, which consisted of staff members who broke off from BasiL, which included two famous illustrators - Suzuhira Hiro and Nishimata Aoi. However, one risky move that they did was that they sold their first game on the same date that Fate stay/night went on sale.

As the otaku world was in the hype of getting their hands on the limited first edition press of Fate stay/night on 2004/1/30, many thought that SHUFFLE! will be shoved into obscurity. To much surprise, the game sold pretty well. While of course it was no match for the sales of Fate stay/night, many otakus were buying their pre-ordered Fate with SHUFFLE! together.

Seeing that the majority of the members were from the staff that did BasiL's big hit Sore wa Maichiru Sakura no Youni, the game itself was interesting as well. It incorporated a what-if world in which angels, devils, and humans co-exist in a modern world in a way that appeals to moe otakus. Add that to the cute girls drawn beautifully by the talented illustrator duos Nishimata Aoi and Suzuhira Hiro, it was a matter of time that otakus started to notice this game.

The game is centered upon you - Tsuchimi Rin, and five other girls.

Image
Lisianthus is the daughter of the king of gods. She came to this world as a fiancee of Rin. Since her name is quite long, she prefers to be called Sia.

Image
Nerine is the daughter of the king of devils. She also came to this world as a fiancee of Rin. Her nickname also happens to be "Lin" (spelling intentionally altered to differentiate from Rin.)

Image
Kaede Fuyou is Rin's osana-najimi (childhood friend). Currently she and Rin lives in the same house.

Image
Shigure Asa is a third-year student above Rin. She is the head of the cooking club at school. A "bokukko" (a girl who refers to herself as "boku"), while at the same time shows that she really is a cute girl.

Image
Primula is a mysterious girl who only shows her true feelings to Rin. Her nickname is "Lim" (edit thanks to evil_samurai - will not write until explained in the anime)

Image
Eustoma is the king of gods, father to Sia.

Image
Forbesii is the king of devils, father to Nerine.

Image
Midoriha Itsuki is Rin's friend. Smart, lecherous, and an endless girl hunter.

Image
Kareha is a shinzoku (god race) and a friend to Asa-senpai. She seems to have a quite a huge imagination.

Image
Mayumi=Thyme is a happa between a human and a devil (hence her distinctive heterochromia iridis). She is the classmate and friends with Rin, Kaede, Sia, and Nerine.

While the last two girls were not heroines in the original game, the PS2 version SHUFFLE! ON THE STAGE slated for release on October 20, 2005 will have Kareha senpai and Mayumi=Thyme as heroines.

Following the ero-game release, the manga serialization began on Comptiq magazine with the title SHUFLE! -DAYS IN THE BLOOM-.

On July 7, 2005, SHUFFLE! began its anime series on WOWOW, directed by Hosoda Naoto.

For those who are interested, official wallpapers, sample music, OP movies to games, trial editions, and other "freeweb" items can be downloaded from Navel's download section here: http://www.project-navel.com/navel/service/downloads/


Now you people should be up to speed. :roll:

Now did anyone see episode 8? It's a Sia episode where her attempt of a perfect date with Rin falls horrifically apart. :lol:

Oh, I thought that "shuffle" was just a statement, never heard of this anime. From the looks of things, it's probably not my style so I probably wont watch this anime.

Well, I saw up to ep 8 or 9 I think... That date was quite funny and I pray that'd never happen to me...

Well, not many, but 3 girls who talk to me don't count do they? [even though they happen to be hot]

Did anyone check out episode 9? It's a beach episode, and
I heard they showed Asa's bare boobs! 8-)


Of course I don't have access to that episode. :cry:

Time to look for that screenshot.

Yes they did, for only a few frames of animation. That's probably the ONLY reason it gained a higher rating [there's even a warning at the beginning of the ep that only highschoolers should be watching age 15+]

Bah, just cause we see some fluffy nipples for less than a second isn't really enough to get me uh, excited...

Now if the hero and Nerine started groping and tonguing each other [no nudity needed], then we'd be getting somewhere... :D

Nerine fan, eh? She's pretty cool especially when she gets pissed. Though I'm starting to lean over to Asa. She has pretty cool spunky attitude along with her mom (damn, what's the deal with her mom :oops: ).

Asa's funny... I LOVE how she sexually teases Rin... They'd go good... But I think Nerine is the most uh... blessed of the bunch..

ANOTHER typical anime plot, main character gets about 6 chicks... how will he pick? and from this point u can already guess the ending, just like futakoi or some thing where he doesnt get any and they all try to rape him!

anyways i liked the ep with his asa sempai and that toilet incident, very funny, the date one with the god girl wasnt too fancy.
