Reception

Shuffle! had much pre-sale hype as the development team was largely composed of former members of BasiL, including Hiro Suzuhira and Aoi Nishimata, the illustrators for Shuffle!. Shuffle! was released at around the same time as Fate/stay night , a highly anticipated visual novel by Type-Moon. The limited edition of Shuffle! was the second highest-selling computer game for the last two weeks of January 2004 the top 50 best-selling Bishōjo games semi-monthly sales chart in Japan, behind Fate/stay night. [72] It then ranked 18th and 50th in February before dropping off the chart in the first two weeks of March at 40th. [73] [74] [75] The regular edition of the PC version of Shuffle! premiered at 9th in the chart in the last two weeks of February. [74] It then ranked 5th and 40th in March, before its last appearance at 49th in the first half of April. [75] [76] [77] Shuffle! On the Stage was released on October 20, 2005 and sold well (for a visual novel) during its first week, selling 29,732 copies by October 23. [78]

Getchu.com hosts a yearly voting poll called the "Getchu.com Bishōjo Game Ranking" where game users vote online for the best games of the previous year in several different categories. For the 2004 ranking, the categories were: overall, scenario, theme songs, background music, visuals, gameplay system, and heroines. Out of the seven, Shuffle! ranked in four. The game was voted 8th best overall, 11th best for its scenario, and 14th best for its gameplay system. [79] Asa Shigure ranked as the 14th most popular heroine with Kaede Fuyou ranking 15th. [80]

Reviewing the (English-language) MangaGamer version of the visual novel, John Rafael of NookGaming felt the story didn't meet his expectations due to underutilized story elements and a short runtime and that there were better romances available. [81]

Anime

Shuffle! the anime television series received mixed reviews from critics. Theron Martin of Anime News Network described the anime as although "genuinely enjoyable", often "alternating between brazen stupidity, lame jokes, and disgusting sweetness" criticizing it as being a typical harem anime that offered little new content. [82] Helen Ellingwood of Active Anime disagreed stating that Shuffle! contained what she described as the most important ingredient, which sets it apart from other harem anime: "heart". [83] Anime News Network's Carlo Santos agreed with Martin's assessment, agreeing with the show's lack of novelty and stating that the highlight of the anime is its comedy, but that its romance is "slowly running the series into the ground." [84] However, D. F. Smith of IGN stated that it actually does well against other harem anime as it "may be ridiculous, exploitative, a simultaneous affront to good sense and good taste, but at least it's good for a chuckle or two". [85] Smith criticized the ending for lacking "intensity"; however, Ellingwood praised it for showing the consequences of avoiding which heroine the protagonist would choose to love, unlike harem anime she had prior. [85] [86]

Ellingwood praised the animation quality as "high quality" with "wonderfully lush and vibrant color schemes" used for the character designs. [86] Smith agreed, describing the anime as "colorful" and "sharply-drawn", however in the last few episodes as having darkened the scenes a little excessively. [87] [88] However, Martin criticized the "mediocre" animation noting the "bland" appearance of characters as uncharacteristic of harem anime. [82] Santos stated that the animation was "sloppy" for the secondary characters, however praised the high quality and detail of the artwork. [89] [90] Although Ellingwood described the score as "energetic and pleasing", Smith stated that the music "tends to stick to the background". [83] [91] Martin expressed a similar view stating that the soundtrack "does little to spruce up the production", although he described the opening theme "You" as "a strong, energetic J-rock number worth listening to independently" and as "unquestioningly" the highlight of the soundtrack. [82] On the other hand, Santos described the theme music and at times the music selection as "show[ing] absolutely no originality" but the background music as "surprisingly listenable" and at times "so evocative that it conveys the scene better than the story and characters do." [84] [89] [90]

Legacy

A 3D virtual world called Ai Sp@ce was developed by the video game developer Headlock where users can interact with bishōjo game heroines from Shuffle!, Clannad , and Da Capo II . [92] [93] Released in October 2008, the world recreates each game franchise on its own virtual island which are linked with a central Akihabara Island where users can interact, bridging the gap between the separate franchises. Users are able to create a customizable avatar to represent themselves in the game, along with choosing one game heroine to live with, which is referred to as a character doll, or chara-doll for short. [94] The user and chara-doll reside together on one of the three in-game "islands" depending on which franchise the heroine is from, which includes a house with furniture and clothes that can be purchased. The chara-dolls can also be customizable in that they can develop a unique personality for each user. [92]

It has been followed by spin-offs and sequels including Tick! Tack! , Really? Really! , Shuffle! Love Rainbow , Shuffle! Episode 2, and Princess x Princess. [95]
