xav's 2023 media thread: Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (1986)

(originally posted 4/2/23)

experienced this through the kid capes audiobook version on youtube (youtu.be/NLsewc4h9yo)! was an excellent performance by those involved, listened to it while i was at work over the course of a night and a half

as for the book itself, it was very interesting to see the roots of what would become the megaten franchise at large. the pacing was kinda quick at some parts, admittedly, but it wasnt particularly bad. i like nakajima as our little shit protagonist but i wish yumiko had more development to her, her relationship with nakajima felt more like a "but thou must" as opposed to something natural, which on one hand i get given what the two characters end up being but idk i still wish there was more there. shit also gets surprisingly graphic at parts both in regards to gore and also in regards to sex. lots of pulsating and undulating fleshy masses going on. if the other novels get a similar audiobook treatment ill check them out for sure, or idk maybe ill just hunker down and read the others on my own eventually

actually i should check out the OVA version while im at it
