Hi this is Pai-tan!
I'm still under progress for my Oz to Himitsu no Ai Vol.4 Shian translation (too much school work orz I think I made this blog at the wrong time -last year of high school lol) but I finished the whole seires upto vol.7 Saigo no Tobira. So I thought 'Meh, I should at least review it' and here I am now.
My review is gonna be non spoiler (in which I try my best to be non-spoiler) so people who want to decide whether or not they want to listen to this series.
(I'm sorry for this plain, boring wall of text for some reason I can't load any images rn ;A;)
Firstly, a little intro about what this series is about. Its basically a story where 'you' go on a journey in the world of 'Wizard of Oz' looking for keys. 'You' have no memories and you don't even know where you are (though you know later), why you are there and how you got there. Well in this state you meet some people on your journey. If you are curious about those people and 'your' relationship read the SS (I said spoiler free
so I feel like I shouldn't say, so go read the SS XD)
I recommend that if you really want to
feel more and understand the story better, then look for the Oz to Himitsu no Ai SS translations on Google which are easy to find.
Also another important note: although it is best to listen to the whole~ series, I don't think it would affect the story line greatly if you just listen to your biases' one. I'd say if you're really curious about the story and want to grasp it listen to 'em all. If you're just gonna listen to a certain character, then at least read the SS for that specific character. Oh and plus I personally don't recommend to
just pick vol 6 and 7 since these two are pretty crucial for the plot and if you just randomly listen to it without knowing the plot then you will go "what?" (but if you really want to go ahead, it's just my personal opinion ^^)
The characters are really all lovable and unique plus awesome seiyuus >< This series really makes you appreciate the seiyuus since they literally pour their souls into their acting so it really helps you relate to them and the actual main character, 'you'.
Personally if I would have to rank the volumes (except for 7 where everyone is present) it would go:
1. Airu
2. Tenma (honestly he's really close to 1)
3. Keisa
>>>>
4.Shian (although I love Nao-ni, the top 3 where just *0*)
>>
5.Chikage
6. Haruto
Okay overall, I'd mark this series an 9.5/10. I love this series. Wasurenagusa from the same company, Rejet was my no.1 but this.... I think it's better honestly plot wise, overall I don't know, let's leave it as a tie for now. You can tell they put a lot of thought in this and (as Rejet is usually good at) it can really make you emotional. Some would cry, some wouldn't, but for me I did,
ALOT. But anyway I highly recommend this series and it's only not a 10/10 cause the sound for this was a little low quality compared to other Rejet's CDs (but its not something that bad that would annoy you or anything). Also I guess since Haruto's CD felt a little long, dragged for me though it's still great although it is ranked last I still think its way better than other drama CD. It's only last cause the others were better not cause it was bad.
OKAY SO I HOPE THIS REVIEW WAS HELPFUL.
I might change my review styles later on if I think that it would just be better to have spoiler reviews for the people who actually listened to it first... I don't know...
