It's just no fun. Even if you're really into VN it's mediocre at best. The anime studio management part is just very basic and not really comparable to a real sim. Basically it's checking stress meters and telling your "employees" to relax from the two more or less interchangable tasks they can perform once their meter gets too high. That's it. It's full of plot conveniences (you need a writer? well guess who you just ran into on the streets infront of your favourite café) and holes (you constantly worry about budget, but I guess going out for dinner once a week with your group and spending tons on anime CD/figurines for "research" isn't a part of that). The main cast is so flat and boring that I don't even care to know how one dimensional their anime would have been. Given that it doesn't even have voice acting (and at times not even background music) it's not really worth the money at this point in time.
This is a short visual novel with stats management where Yukari decides to pursue her dreams to produce an anime after graduating from high school and waiting for her university term to start. With her best friend Mayumi, two sisters Yuuko and Sumiko, Shunsuke and the initial investment in capital given by Yukari's grandmother, the team embark on a 12-week project that will put Yukari and her team's (and the player's) decision making and efforts to the test. The game has plenty of save slots to replay a particular section of the game, 9 shown stats and 2 hidden stats which affect the quality and outcome of the anime production and the ending of the game and the option to skip and fast-forward already read sections. The game will require some familiarity with the expected activity Yukari and each team member can perform as it is fixed at each week as well as the possible bonuses and penalties given to each decision Yukari makes during various events. Certain random events will appear at different parts of the 12-week playthrough and certain decisions made can have variable effects. Soundtracks and overall game presentation are decent. Recommended when at discount as it takes less than 10 hours to try to produce 3 different genre of anime and attempt to reach the best ending in the game over 3 or more separate playthroughs.
Ну, тут сложно дать игре адекватную оценку. Сюжет вроде есть, но, как по мне, он очень слабый. В итоге диалоги в основном будут в жанре повседневности. В игре даже есть геймплей, но именно он мне и не особо понравился. Благодаря этому геймплею в игре много разных концовок, и на некоторые из них довольно сложно выйти. Визуал, как для 2016-го года, приятный, но немного расстроило однообразие артов. В игре есть карточки и достижения, что является плюсом. Если и покупать сие творение, то только по хорошей скидке. Из плюсов: +Визуал +Сюжет +Карточки +Достижения Из минусов: -Геймплей -Сложно получить все достижения Игру рекомендую к покупке только по скидке! Хотите увидеть обзор на какую-то свою игру?

First things first, the art is nice. The soundtrack is OK. Nothing much to say about them to be honest. I played this game mostly hoping for a good simulation VN in the same vein as Kairosoft, Hanako games and the like. I'm a huge fan of simulation games! But for its name, it fails the 'simulation' aspect of its name and I believe is incredibly misleading. My issue is with its gameplay and story. The simulation aspect is just too simple, make sure that nobody else is stressed or it's game over. Once you get into the groove of things and RNGesus events don't mess you up, you'll be able to make that awesome anime. Even the 'story' is not engaging enough and I do not feel compelled to see these characters 'succeed' in their adventure. The part where they messed up the storyboards and the studio not clarifying with them doesn't feel realistic. And to be honest, I finished this game under 2 hours with all achievements to properly gauge its replay value. And it's just...well...lackluster. I cannot recommend this sadly. Maybe if it had different title and didn't have simulation on the title I wouldn't have come to this with different expectations.
While the concept of this game is great, the way it is executed could use some work. As far as the storyline goes, there are minimal choices that you can make, and much of the storyline is the same or similar regardless of what genre of anime you choose. The plot appears to be fairly linear, and I have yet to find any choices that really cause the story to branch off. Furthermore, I would say that the music is average, and the characters, while drawn quite well, seem to fall a bit flat at times. However, if there is one good thing about this game, it would be that it is surprisingly difficult. Many factors throughout the story influence the characters in ways that you cannot control, and you can easily find a team member quitting or yourself bankrupt. Admittedly, I have yet to reach the "good" ending; I have reached a "bad" one only once, and have failed part of the way through at least three times. It can be infuriating at times, but it also guarantees more gameplay for those who are determined to unlock all achievements. A fair warning, however: going back through the story after you've either beaten the game or failed part of the way through quickly becomes boring. There is an option to fast forward through the "dialogue" and skip straight to the "choices", but it leaves very little gameplay. In conclusion, I would not recommend this game. While it's difficulty could be seen as a plus, the lack of choices, the seemingly linear storyline, the average characters and soundtrack, and the lack of replay value do little for the game's value. If, despite all this, you still want to purchase this game, I would highly recommend waiting until it goes on sale.
This is a fun and charming slice of life visual novel with management elements built in to it, charcaters stress and happiness levels, budgeting, the options to outsource certain parts of the anime which costs money, decisions in the game that cost varying amounts of money and trying to make a good rated anime within the 13 weeks it gives you. Trying to manage and get things just right can be a little stressful but than when the visual novel carries on after, you are back to enjoyment again, at least for me; some people enjoy management in games. I really liked the art in the game it was very well done, bright and vibrant and the music was also quite charming, I was bobbing my head from side to side listening to it. The game's cast have all just finished high school and through various means come together to make a anime studio and create a 2 episode anime, with plans to do more if it is recieved well, the game gives you 3 choices when your studio is formed about which anime you would like to make "Harem, mystery or action" and each route has quite a lot of dialogue changes and some new events; so while the main things that happen still happen as it progress's the story, there is enough variation in the dialogue that each route appears different enough to not seem like you are reading the exact same thing 3 times over, once you choose which anime you would like to make you can than create any name for it you want. There is quite a bit of character developement in it as well where you get to not only see the friendships and bonds grow between each member of the studio but also see some growth in the characters themselves and see them get better and more comfortable in their respective fields. Due to the management elements for me anyway it was longer than some other visual novels I have played but I enjoyed every moment of it and I am glad I decided to buy it, it gave me a very enjoyable time and also shows a lot of stuff that goes in to making a actual anime and I learned quite a bit from it.
I wanted to like this visual novel and simulation game but I feel that there wasn't enough simulation in it. The name implies that it's more of a simulation game however there's more chatter between the characters than you actually planning and they tell you to keep your characters happy but even if their happiness and stress level isn't too bad, you can fail. It's a nice concept but since it's a visual novel I wish it was a little more in depth with the character backgrounds.
If I had reviewed Anime Studio Simulator before I achieved the highest anime success (the 'Acclaimed Anime Expert' achievement), I would have given it a thumbs down. It is too easy to fail, because you have relatively little control over the characters stress and happiness levels during the week after making your task choices at the beginning of the week. Funding is also a constant issue and you will not be able to complete a decent anime without money. Even if you complete an anime, it is difficult to produce a high quality anime (as in get enough stars for each production category) and this seems to come back to funding... Thankfully someone has written a great in-depth guide to the game and outlines each character's strengths. This helped me to effectively strategise. I liked that it was a visual novel / simulator. As a visual novel it was really fun, because the choices I made actually had an impact on the characters and the story. As a simulator, it gave me a chance to manage the team through choices of member tasks, upgrades, and outsourcing options at the beginning of each week. I liked the art style and the background music didn't get annoying either. The characters are all likeable too. For these reasons I recommend the game. I bought this game on sale.
This game can teach you how to be better than Todd Howard so your games are successful.
