Smartphone games are definitely getting a more traditional anime treatment as of late. It is becoming a much more prominent way to further a story with these games as a lot of them have very exciting and intricate stories.One such story comes from the smrtphone game
Bakumatsu. The story of the game is as follows;
"The heroine is in Kyoto for sightseeing when she receives a mysterious pocket watch from a man. The heroine wears the watch and passes through a shrine's torii gate, and she is transported to "another" Bakumatsu era 150 years ago during the final years of the Edo period. The heroine must then try to find a way back home to the present." The story seems to really take beats from the more young adult format of story telling, but there is a decent amount of science fiction adn action to balance out the inevitable romance. This is maintly due to the fact that the smartphone game is set up as more of a romance game while the series will before sci-fi action.
