Anime Artist 2: Lovely Danya is a connect-the-dots/coloring game with a generic anime theme.

The goal of the game is to recreate an image by connecting dots, and using a set of tools to apply colors in the correct areas. It's kind of like drawing, if you waved a few magic wands and poofed a masterpiece. The real meat of the gameplay will take some 'splaining, so bear with me. Before selecting a stage, you can choose between "Normal" and "Challenge" difficulty settings.

Before a stage starts, you are shown the completed image (which subsequently disappears.) You must connect a series of dots (in the correct order) to create the outline of the image, before moving onto the coloring portion of the game. You must select the correct colors from a nearby color wheel, and (liberally) apply them to the painting. As you drag your cursor around, a host of colors (vaguely related to what you've chosen) will populate the screen. You are timed, and the idea is the complete the image within the time frame.

The more of the image you're able to complete (within the time frame), the higher your score. You can earn up to three stars, and each (previously unobtained) star is counted to a star currency. That currency can be used to unlock new "dresses" for the protagonist (Danya), which are seen in-game as her avatar watches over you. Normal and Challenge versions of each painting can yield up to six stars a piece. It's best to practice stages in Normal mode first, because your "paint" is limited in Challenge mode.

Assuming you have the DLC installed, there is also a "Hot" mode. In this mode, you erase the subjects' clothes within a short time frame. You can unlock one "hot" star from this mode, per image. If you unlock collect twelve "hot" stars, you can unlock a special outfit from Danya's wardrobe.

You play as Danya, and she wants to do art things. She's payed based on her timeliness and skill, and she likes buyin' new outfits. That's about as much as I could make up with the source material.

The title screen is simple to navigate and somewhat attractive, though I thought that the selections were unconventionally displayed. The protagonist follows your cursor movement (with her eyes), which is a nice touch (and makes sense considering that she's the one painting the in-game pictures. I think). She does, however look a bit blurry. She isn't as crisp as the rest of the game's visuals. I did enjoy the overall user interface though, and I thought that the level select screen was very creative.

- The Goods -
The artwork is consistently styled and high quality. However, it lacks background, characters and story. Additionally, it cannot be fullscreened (due to "portrait" aspect ratios"). The artwork, though good isn't more unique than someone's gallery (dumped inside a game). The lewd artwork features plenty of nudity, provided you downloaded the (free) adult patch.

Unfortunately, if you have the adult patch installed, you are no longer able to access the "non-adult" versions of the puzzles.

There's a lot love in the game, but love doesn't necessarily translate to fun. I didn't find the game to be very engaging, even on "Challenge" mode, nor was I impressed by the gallery's interface. But the artwork is good, and this game makes an honest attempt to stand out from all of those generic puzzle games.

If pretending to be an artist appeals to you, I'd give this game a looksy.

Same as the previous installment but with more options. This time neither the achievements or the game collector badge count. The trading cards are missing too. In case you liked the previous game, you will probably like this one as well since the concept remains the same but you can do more things.

Awesome game, much improved from the first one.
Danya is voiced and animated, she cheers you up while completing levels. The art is very good as well.

Anime Artist 2: Lovely Danya is a connect-the-dot/memory/colouring adult content game.

WARNING: The game deleted all my progress after finishing each stages once with 3 golden stars! AVOID! Also this game uses 50% CPU and 95% CPU on the main menu! 90 Celsius CPU while idle!

The gameplay looks promising but it's just... boring. The pencil drawing part is solved my simply holding left click and moving your mouse over the entire screen. The colouring part is however, even worse! The colours are so inaccurate, almost all brown is black or purple, etc. In one of the pictures her dress is black/purple and the correct color is white! This game makes it even worse by limiting your amount of paint available in challenge mode: so if you have a hard time figuring what color they meant for you to put there (on top of considering that they're mostly inaccurate) well you run out of paint and can't do anything yet the level goes on! That was so confusing at first...

The music is generic and the sound effects are very basic. There is zero story. You have to complete every difficulties to unlock all the dresses or you can simply get 'Extra Help' on the menu and have nothing to do. How great!

Overall, EXTERMELY BUGGY AND DELETES PROGRESS, unpolished, somewhat short, inaccurate colours and generic art. Not recommended from me.

TL;DR version: Good game. Buy it. Give it a go. And get the previous version if you haven't.

Long version: Anime Artist 2 - Lovely Danya has a lot of charm, from the soundtrack to the little snippets of speech the titular character has to say. Players of Anime Artist will find this game very familiar, but also somewhat mechanically different, as the drawing phase is now a join-the-dots puzzle. Colouring mode is the same (currently), where the user picks a colour and paints it into an area they hope is the right one. The time limit is generous enough to make the game fun without excess frustration.

The DLCs aren't prohibitively expensive (a trend that will hopefully continue). The More The Better adds new images. If you're happy leaving it there, and don't want a lot of (tasteful..?) nudity and sexuality in your charming artist game, that's all you need for now. There are no 'guest artist' packs available as of writing this review, so you're all done.

If, however, you DO want to see a bit more flesh, AA2:LD has you (un)covered.

With the 18+ pack, AA2:LD becomes considerably more adult-oriented. The 'Hot Mode' in this version is somewhat different from the prior game, being a simple reward system in which you get to erase the base image, revealing the 18+ variant underneath. 'Ultra Lewd' pretty much explains itself; this is where the game gets unabashedly sexual. If you like that, enjoy it! If you don't like it, don't get those DLCs.

I enjoyed the game (obviously, thus the positive review). However, I do have a couple of notes to make.

Firstly, both myself and some others encountered a few issues playing the Challenge mode. The developers, to their credit, have been very quick jumping on those bugs and squashing them, which is commendable.

Secondly, it's very playable, but not particularly re-playable. Once you've unlocked the whole game, revealed everything in the Gallery, bought all the outfits, found the secret pictures etc, you're pretty much finished. You might reload the game to look at the pictures, but that's it. You can reset your progress, certainly, but that's about it.

I'm not sure how the developers would best address that. More DLCs and/or free images, certainly, but too many DLCs will glut the game somewhat. Perhaps unlocking more complex artist tools on subsequent replays? Unlockable tutorials to help the player actually learn to draw anime characters? Unlockable lore on the characters portrayed in the art? Perhaps a playable 'story mode,' which runs like a visual novel following Danya's journey to become an anime artist, with vignettes and story choices between painting levels?

Thirdly, the pictures presented are named, but they don't have several pictures of the one character in a row, as in the first game. As a result the playing experience feels somewhat more random and a touch less cohesive.

Finally, given that there are unlockable outfits, I'd have liked to see those outfit (and hairstyle) choices reflected not only in-level, but on Danya in the main menu and the level selection as well. She's right there, and it would be a delightful touch. Maybe that's just me, though.

Nonetheless, Anime Artist 2: Lovely Danya is a delightful game and you should buy it.

i bought this for boobs & trading cards !

Has a total of 5 trading cards.

You try and recreate an anime picture by penciling and coloring it in. Decent enough.

Green haired baddie spends her time drawing girls being horny, sounds like a good time to me. Anime Artist 2 is the second entry in the series and really imo is about on par with the first. Pretty good artwork and the game play is fine but nothing special. If you've played the first you know what your in for if not check out my review for Anime Artist here.
