ef – the first tale Game OP video

“We let go of each other’s hand and we came here following different paths.”

“That person… Come to think of it, that person resembles you.”

“Me?”

“A part of you resembles him…Yes… I can feel that nostalgic aura. So, my imagination isn’t playing tricks on me.”

“About what?”

“Just for a while… I got swayed by that young man’s story.”

“Won’t you tell me his story?”

Text above was taken from the intro dialogue on OP video of ef – the first tale from minori. (hm.. I thought the title was ef -the fairy tale of the two-?) The game itself was released yesterday, 22 December 2006 according to Getchu. This OP was fansubbed by [Froth-Bite], so.. say thanks to them. ^^

I haven’t had any ideas about this game’s story. I can’t read Japanese.. so I can’t understand what they put on the game website or Getchu page. (why not copypaste the text into Atlas to be translated?) ^^ Definitely, I won’t miss this game (and it’s CG pack). Why? ’cause Naru Nanao = WINNER. Naru Nanao is the character designer of this game. Characters from this game are very beautiful. ^^ Hehehe.. (what a perverted guy I am.. )

One thing that made me speechless when watching this OP video is.. MAKOTO SHINKAI! From the first minute I saw the video, I think I know who did the video, and my guess was right. Makoto Shinkai is Animation Movie Director of this OP video! Kyaaaa… ^^ I was born merely to see this video! He also did the OP video for minori’s game titled Wind ~a breath of heart~.

Ahaha.. I’m very overreacting isn’t it? Could not be helped.. it was too beautiful! >_< I very admire Makoto Shinkai’s works. ^^ Anyway, here’s some screenshots from the OP video:

If you really wondering or interested on the video, try to watch it on Youtube. I found someone who already uploaded it.

I haven’t watch the Youtube.. can’t bear its slowness on my Internet connection. >_<

Well then, let’s hope its torrent will be released soon. ^^ Damn it, after Prism Ark, now I must sacrifice my connection to download this game. Ah yeah, [LonE] groups already released the OP album on FLAC. Check its tracker or wait for me to upload the MP3 version. ^^ (again.. my Internet connection become more slower after that ‘incident’ >_<)
