Thanks for the investigation, I'll check it out now. I think I most likely picked it up from Gaming Age

Wow. I couldn't have made it up, right? The term must've already been in use back then. Maybe I saw it mentioned at the Gaming Age forums? I'll dig through my archives, but I'm not sure if the search will turn up anything.

And if you examine the opening even more closely, you can spot posters for Fujimoto's one-shot collection 17–21 and the Sayonara Eri one-shot.

I also decided to cosplay as a time traveler and shot the gig with a DV Handycam from 2004.

They even hired someone to make a custom anime clip just to promote the campaign in Russia and Belarus.

As for me, personally I think that the heroines look more striking and refined with those costume details than without them. But it would be interesting to hear what guided Dodo in choosing the illustration option.

Thank you for the interview! Cygames Pictures have really been a delight lately. They had the absolutely wonderful Apocalypse Hotel this past season
