Once upon a time, way back in the 1980s and 1990s, there was a fun 2D platformer series called Valis (aka Fantasm Soldier Valis aka Sword of Valis). It starred a pretty 16 year old Japanese school girl (Yuko) who was called upon to wield the Valis Sword and defend both Earth and a magical land. It wasn't a groundbreaking series, but it was fun and had pretty anime girls beating up big bad guys.

Of course, because the girls were pretty, countless H-doujinshi were made in their honor, so to speak...
Fast forward to March of 2006. After years of fans asking for a new Valis game (preferably starring Yuko), a new series of games are being released. When I first heard the news, I was quite happy. Until I learned the details...
Unfortunately, the series turns out to be a 5 part hentai series (2 of which are already released) called Valis X (Valis Cross). What is worse, not only is the series being dragged through the mud, it is being done by its original publishers, who not only endorsed the games but are also distributing it!
How dare they dirty my memories of Yuko and the Sword of Valis!
