TOP UPDATES FOUR PILLARS CINEMA/TV GAMES MANGA/ANIME MUSIC WRITINGS FAQ LINKS
One of my best friends is a huge fighting game otaku. He's much better at them and has much more of an intuitive grasp of them than me. But there is one series which I love very much and want more people to discover the greatness of... as long as they aren't ghey and hate for their games to be full of cute little girls! Let's spread the love of this game but keep it limited to those with cool taste. I should mention, by the way, that I really suck at this game. I'm not good at fighting games in general. But I still think it's very fun. And most importantly: It has one of the best casts of cute girls in ANY piece of media I've ever seen. For that reason alone it must be honored.
My first experience with Arcana Heart was in an arcade in Sapporo called Cat's Eye. It was an awesome arcade, but I don't know if it was a COVID casualty like so many others. I was drawn to a machine with a bunch of different fighting games to pick from and managed to go for Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2 because I had seen clips of it and knew that it was the most moe-tastic fighter I had ever seen. I was not disappointed! When it came to most fighting games I had played, I would do a quick scan for the cutest girl to play... and if there weren't any cute girls, the game immediately failed! But in this case, how could I possibly choose?! EVERY girl was cute as hell! I think the first character I played as was Yoriko, but I hadn't even had a chance to look at the full roster. I played Angelia as well, but then I realized that THE CUTEST GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD was one of the characters, and I stuck with her ever since.
I stopped by that arcade several times in the next few days, always playing Arcana Heart. I tried Arcana Heart 3 and soon realized that it was the best in the series (as it had the most girls... and largest breasts on Maori and Mei-Fang's artwork). I have many fond memories of feeding 100-yen coins into that machine and listening to 32 Zel / Planet Shrooms by Denzel Curry on my iPod over and over. Something about the juxtaposition was amusing. I also was listening to a lot of Jamaican dancehall/jungle music. For whatever reason, it really hit the spot, and I associate that music a lot with Sapporo's gray skies and frigid old streets with leftover snowfall instead of the summery mood it's usually supposed to elicit.
One thing was certain: I would have to EARN the ability to play this game with all these cute girls, because Arcana Heart has a fittingly ARCANE set of game mechanics that makes it a hard game to pick up for a neophyte. I've also just never been intuitively good at fighting games, which makes them even harder for me. When I first looked it up, it was a headache of learning all kinds of terms like "homing cancel" and "proration multiplier" and so on. It was the first fighting game I really tried to learn in general, so there was just the general difficulty of getting used to fighting game lingo and notation in general on top of that. But my motivation was high and I got a sense of some of the basic essentials to understand the game.
Arcana Heart is a 2-D fighting game. You can imagine the basics: You attack another character, block and counter their attacks, and string together moves into combos. What makes it unique? Two main things come to mind:
1. Arcanas
When you play Arcana Heart, you pick a girl (no boys in this game, as it
should be!) and then you pick an Arcana. An Arcana is a sort of spirit or summon that
can be used during combat. An Arcana gives you a whole other set of moves to use, sort
of like Marvel vs. Capcom. They often appear as projectiles or objects to place
on the field, but can also be passive. There is an Arcana gauge that fills up over the
course of the fight. Some attacks cost more of it than others (typical fighting game
stuff). Each girl has an Arcana of her own, so you have 26 characters to choose from
and then 26 Arcanas you can match with her. So there's an incredible amount of depth to
experiment with! Of course, some Arcanas work better with certain characters than
others. But for the most part the game is exceptionally well-balanced, so there's tons
of room for experimentation here. You can really use any Arcana with any character.
2. Homing
Arcana Heart emphasizes aerial combat. It's very similar to Melty
Blood or the Touhou fighting games in the way that you spend a lot of time evading
and running away from other characters, often while airborne. Characters in Arcana
Heart don't fly, but the game uses a Homing mechanic that makes matches often look
like it at high level! There's a Homing button that you can press and then zoom towards
the other character. You can do this to zoom up into the air or to move towards her on
ground at a faster rate than it would take to just walk over. You can perform a "Homing
Cancel" by canceling many moves into Homing.
There are many more interesting quirks about Arcana Heart's gameplay, but I think that these two are what makes the game most distinctive and feel the most different from other fighting games I've played. I highly recommend consulting the Mizuumi Wiki for more details if you want to get to understand the game on a deeper level and git gud (I've been playing for years and still don't feel like I've really gotten there, but keep in mind that I'm also REALLY bad at fighting games).
Arcana Heart is a fighting game series, so you're not exactly playing it for the most deep and intellectually stimulating storyline. But the background lore of the game is full of the most over-the-top chuuni-tastic anime shit that makes these games great in the first place. It wouldn't be the same without it.
The setting of Arcana Heart is modern-day Japan. The idea goes that there is a spiritual world that exists parallel to ours. Only young girls with pure hearts are able to see and encounter spiritual beings connected to that world known as Arcanas. The stability and peace of our world depends on the spiritual world and physical world existing in balance and harmony. A secret organization known as 聖霊庁 (Seirei-chou, Holy Spirit Office) monitors this balance. It is headquartered in England but had offices all over the world, including Japan. Strange signs appeared in the skies above 都立御苑女子学園 (Metropolitan Gyoen Girls' Academy), a school where several of these pure girls who are able to see and interact with Arcanas reside. The fate of Japan and the world now lies in their hands!

Heart is bursting with energy, pure and innocent,
possessing a childlike genuineness. She believes that there

Befitting her upbringing of constantly watching tokusatsu series centered on just heroes, she detests all that is crooked and pervese in this world. Her loving but small family consists of a single mother and only one child, the two of whom operate a café known as "Café Aino." She is skilled at making sweets and dreams of inventing recipes worthy of becoming the café's signature items. She loves animals like dogs and cats and is loved by them in turn, and is always making trouble for her mother by bringing home strays. She will do anything for her closest childhood friend Tsudzura Saki. For the sake of love and peace, she will go to excessive lengths, even if she sometimes goes so far as to be something of a busybody. |

Every time the balance between the Spirit World and the Physical World is disrupted, she awakens and only returns to her slumber when the situation has been brought back under control. The last time she awoke before this disruption was during the oil crisis of the 1970s, and World War II before that. With her basis of self-taught kenjutsu utilizing her katana-styled weapon "Tamayorihime Mikadomorimune," she has become an expert in all forms of martial arts and warfare. Though she gives the appearance of having arrived at a dispassionate, discerning perspective befitting of her immense lifespan, it is merely that she cannot afford to become attached to the rapidly changing world she must operate in. In truth, she does have sympathy for her surroundings, and is especially partial to her devotee Konoha. She loves cute, fluffy animals. She has recently started collecting stuffed animals as a secret hobby. |

A descendent of a family that has resolved events related
to Holy Spirits since ancient times.

Usually the four sisters (first daugher Tsudzune, second daughter Maori, third and fourth daughters twins Koito and Kouta) spend tranquil days assisting the kannushi at their shrine, but in emergency situations are dispatched by the Holy Spirit Office throughout the entire Kantou region with little say in the matter. Maori herself is family-oriented, the personification of maternity itself. She is always busy taking care of her energetic and playful younger twin sisters.

Because her demeanor towards everyone is gentle and kind, a great number of her school friends rely on her. |

haafu born to a human mother and a demon father.
She has no interest in her surroundings and is a bit lacking in her spirit of cooperation. At school she is flamboyant, but in truth she is apathetic. She was born with strong magical powers by virtue of the demonic blood that runs through her and her father's veins, which she normally hides, despite having wings and a tail. Her prized possession is the pair of roller blades she was gifted by her father and has named "Vird," which have been modified so many times that they may as well be called the Lilica Special at this point. Whether outside or at home, her basic disposition is "tsun tsun" (or just apathetic), but the truth is that she dearly loves her father. She is aware of her father complex, but has no particular desire to be rid of it. She gets along quite well with her friends Yoriko and Mike. She thinks of Yoriko especially as her one and only truly close friend. |

A young girl who has sealed her memories and emotions
in the innermost deapths of her heart due to a painful
experience in her past.

She keeps a ball-jointed doll missing the lower half of its body in her suitcase and calls it Elfriede (as an older sister). As a dual-personality, Lieselotte's personality is separate from Elfriede's personality, which is what telekinetically manipulates the doll. In order to make a living, she lives a thrifty life in society's underbelly where she is known as "the scarlet-eyed puppeteer," travelling the world in the hope of one day discovering her family's whereabouts and meeting them again. As a result of being saved from a dangerous situation by Aino Heart, she has started to remember what it felt like to trust people, just a little. |

She now spends her days being involuntarily lead around according to the selfish whims of Mike, who is brimming with interest in the human world.
