Rating Curve

the craft of eden's xo is humble; the old and primitive act of recording yourself singing while playing guitar is the music-equivalent of building a 1.0-styled level. the song segments with more modern electronic sounds are fittingly reflected with more modern effects by the level, and the empty and colorless decoration matches the unfulfillment expressed in the lyrics. i wouldn't have the visuals any other way.

i want to be anonymous.

hentai enthusiasts are so lame!!! they make "its funny cos porn" jokes all the time and if you feel the need to repeat the half-joking "its called hentai & its art" quote to such a degree that it becomes a staple in your community then maybe you subconsciously conceptualize it as a product and not art!!!!! hentai artists have so much freedom with their erotica and yet they choose to emulate the emotional & artistic bankruptcy of the live action porn industry but to a supercharged degree!!!!! eat my nuts!!!!!!

it puts me in the headspace of someone who loves a song that i otherwise find mid with awesome synesthesia!

almost brought me to tears

super fun level with an imprint that's lasted nine years for me

i'll ignore the strange decision to dedicate it to koraii and say that this level is oddly creatively liberating. the long repetitive cube section feels like an ascension in spite of its simplicity and could only have been built with a carefreeness that doesn't fear judgement, and i adore it for that!
