Turning something ordinary into extraordinary
Something about seeing text on screen with just purely animated images only for a sum of twenty hours sounds daunting to someone that can't focus for more than ten seconds and yet every word manages to grab my attention for most of it. Witch of the Holy Night (also known as Mahōtsukai no Yoru) feels like what happens when you the tiny things of regular life and drastic circumstances.
In terms of visual novels and pointing the complete obvious, narrative and the style of writing is complete key here in grabbing your attention and keeping it and the games manages to do that in spades for the most part. The way each grin, body language, item of the world is described manages to paint a complete picture of what's going on as you read. The voice acting is great here and really helps sell the emotions these characters feel throughout the story with hearing their anger, their triumph and their pain. There's a few slow moments during the action that I wish weren't there but after a certain point in the story, I found it hard to put down and every character in the main cast manages to get their moment in the spotlight. I just loved reading about the interactions and emotional actions during this experience, it was a great surprise but I really think Soujuurou Shizuki carries this whole experience for me, amazing character.
The art during the game was excellent, the small animation work was immaculate and the music was good too and ramped up at the right time. It felt enough that it helped paint a clear picture of the action along with the sound effects of blue bullets flying through the air too.
Never considered myself a TYPE-MOON fan and barely touching the surface of visual novels but if I can expect this type of writing from them, I might be on the look out for their other works down the line. Witch of the Holy Night is a great experience that brings a nice slice of life mix with a magical twist.
