The last battle of Senshinkan was pretty cool but the game would have benefited from a longer epilogue.
Overall my favorite part of Senshinkan was the narration, vivid and ever moving, going from omniscient narrator to one of the actor back and forth again, the narration is even more refined than DI and KKK in my opinion.
Though dialogues-wise it's one or two level below them, mostly because it goes for a more normal experience compared to the theatrical presentation of Dies.
But I guess it's also due to the fact that the characters aren't as full of themselves and feel more human which go with the theme I guess, well of course there is still Shinno and Dan that basically steal the spotlight everytime they appear, Amakasu is great too but he should seriously have had more screentime.

For the other characters I think Yoshiya is kind of a failed opportunity, I liked him a lot in the common route but he pretty much get no action if the first 3 routes and while he gets a lot of cool scenes in the last by the end I still couldn't "feel" him, same for his various romantic options, it clearly feel hamfisted and the game would have been the same with going on the friendship options everytime, same for Narutaki and the "triangle" around him, the heroines are all cool in their own way though some also felt like missed opportunity (Ayumi) or simply didn't have a story as powerful as I'd have wanted (Mizuki), Rinko ended up being the coolest even if her entire conflict kind of felt forced (though it fits the theme of the game and isn't dragged on so I'm giving it a pass)

In the end the only character arc among the protagonists I really cared about was Harumitsu, him getting his time to shine in both Rinko and Mizuki's routes was immensely satisfying.
