"Defenders of Neon" is full on 80/90s Saturday morning kids show homage, even with all the unusually hunky shirt-window characters and the author's barely disguised fetish. It's the exact kind of show that would inspire extremely lewd art to be made decades into the future and having fans clamor for a reboot. Filled with zinger one-liners, an neon vapor-wave aesthetic, and a cheesy monster of the week with moral lesson at the end formula, this type of story is right up my alley and these guys nailed what they were aiming for. Honestly, there's also some really killer music made for this VN, one of the few times I've gone into listen to the added cassette player to listen to them some more. Some of my favorite details were how you started straight up in the middle of a season, like the way you just randomly catch an episode and have to put together the cast dynamic on the fly. The way the audio would play off the text, throwing in some funny audio jokes in as well. Boost is just so fun for being the 4th wall breaker. All the allusions in the arcade to different video games. Character designs are great, love that we get torso shown in every costume design. The start with the comic style of intro was great. I feel like you could've pushed the innuendo and milked the desperation scenes with Limiter a little bit more, but that's just cause I could tell that the drone-ification and ooze stuff was someone's kink on the team. I think there's like, one line that got repeated but that's a quick typo fix. Might not be to everyone's taste cause it's a just a cartoon show episode, and thus, not particularly complicated or deep, but not everything needs to be. I had a fun time with it and would totally buy the collectors box set.
