That’s right folks, it’s time for another exciting bimonthly
announcement, this time in conjunction with the Enid Blyton Society! For those unlucky
few who don’t know, Enid Blyton is a British children’s author from the 50s,
whose delightful novels amused middle class children for generations. Many of her
stories involved youngsters having adventures, accusing foreign-looking types
of being smugglers, and teaching Americans how to talk properly. However, her
books aren’t selling as well as they used to, and now the Enid Blyton Society
has turned to visual novels to keep the spirit of Blyton alive in today’s
youth.
So it is with great pleasure that I unveil to you: AIR –The Enid
Blyton Edition-! Now you too can enjoy the Japanese characters and setting you
love, with the retro language you or your distant British cousins grew up with.
Here are some screenshots to whet your appetite!
Of course, we understand that not everyone will be happy
with this new, vintage interpretation of KEY’s classic VN. So we’ll be
producing a second version just for all you Americans out there: AIR –The ‘Murrica
Edition-!
Look forward to it sometime in 2014!
