Anime Play is a trademark used to refer to the visual novel games distributed by Hirameki International and a (discontinued) magazine profiling these games. ==Anime Play DVD== Anime Play DVDs are the only English-language visual novels that are playable on standard DVD players; they can also be played on PCs with DVD-ROM drives or video game consoles that can play DVDs like the PlayStation 2 or Xbox. The restrictions of the DVD format mean that these games are missing many features present in most visual novels such as separate volume controls for music and voices; controlling the speed at which text is played; and ability to save the game at any point. The following games have been released in Anime Play format: * ''Phantom of Inferno'', a crime/romance drama * ''Amusement Park'', a romantic drama * ''Day of Love'', a high school romance * ''Tea Society of a Witch'', a magical fantasy * ''Hourglass of Summer'', a time travel romance * ''Ishika and Honori'', a spiritual detective drama * ''Dragonia'', a fantasy adventure game * ''Exodus Guilty: Vol. 1 - Present'', part one of a three-part adventure taking place over three time periods Hirameki International announced in 2003 that having released ''Phantom of Inferno'' earlier that year, they would be releasing fifteen more titles in AnimePlay format in the fourth quarter of 2003, and described all sixteen on their website; however, in summer of 2003 most of these titles were removed from the website. ''Phantom of Inferno'', ''Amusement Park'' and ''Day of Love'' were the only games released in 2003. The full list of visual novels to which they apparently acquired the rights is: * ''Phantom of Inferno'': released in 2003 * ''Day of Love'': released in 2003 * ''The Sixteenth Night Love Song'', a love adventure game: status unknown * ''The Bride of Ergeners'', a marriage adventure game: status unknown * ''Lying on Yoshia Heights'', a fantasy adventure game: status unknown * ''Koimusubi (Lovers' Knot)'', a romance story: status unknown * ''Amusement Park'': released in 2003 * ''Snow Talk'', a fantasy simulation game: status unknown * ''Separate Blue'', a school love story: status unknown * ''Azrael'', a ghost story: status unknown * ''Sweet Legacy'', a cooking love story: status unknown * ''Five O One'', an action story: status unknown * ''Canary'', a school love story: status unknown * ''Hooligan'', an action love comedy: status unknown * ''Tea Society of a Witch'': released in summer 2004 * ''Hourglass of Summer'': released in summer 2004 In late 2005, Hirameki announced on their blog that after releasing the remaining two volumes of ''Exodus Guilty'', the Anime Play DVD series will be discontinued, and all of their visual novel titles will be released on PC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AnimePlay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
