Misato Training Plan, an Evangelion porn game developed by PeroPero Candy. Released January 4, 2008. Download on DLSite for $13.00. For PC Windows. Full Japanese voice acting. Censored genitals. Available in English and Japanese.
Misato has to drive out to the train station and pick up a young boy named Shinji Ikari. He’ll be living with her, eating, sleeping, and bathing under the same roof. If you never thought the plot of Evangelion was perfect for a porno, you’re thinking it now.

STORY
There are eight chapters in total. As the final game in the “Evangelion Training Plan” series, this title has the most content. Every chapter has a wide variety of choices that change outfits, sex partners, and the sexual intercourse entirely!
Misato is portrayed as a mega-perv in this game. Hardcore Eva fans will probably be upset since it simplifies so much of her character. The second she gets Shinji home she tries to have sex with him.
This game has a lot of strange scenes like when Misato makes Shinji wear a girl’s uniform and gropes him. In another scene she makes Shinji jack off onto her food! Nympho Misato is nice, but it doesn’t feel like the actual character would do this.
There are three endings in total. In one ending Misato is pregnant with Shinji’s child. I was both astonished and confused since this is the first and only impregnation scene in the entire “Training Plan” series. As the final game in the series, I was left wanting more. I wish all three games could be combined into one cohesive narrative. The other characters are severely neglected in this title.
GAMEPLAY
Misato Training Plan is a visual novel created in a game engine unique to this developer. Please reference the game manual that comes with your download for information about the options-menu and other functions.
The three endings don’t complement the episodic format of the game. As you play, each plot event feels separate and disconnected from the rest. One choice involves what Misato will be wearing. It seems downright silly for decisions like these to decide whether or not she gets pregnant. Choices feel inconsequential so it’s an unwanted surprise when you realize you’ve locked yourself into an ending.
GRAPHICS
As the longest game in the series, the flaws are more jarring. All images fade in and out slowly in a tedious manner. Rather than letting you click ahead to skip the transition animation, this game forces you to watch tons of image fades. It honestly felt like 10% of game time was spent on things that could be cut.
The artwork varies dramatically. Sometimes Misato resembles how she appeared in the original show. Other times her face is rounded and her cheeks are huge, making her seem like a different person entirely. This is not remedied in the 3D remake of the game.
While the other Training Plan games had 15 CGs each, this one has 26. This is in large part due to outfit variations and bonus scenarios at the end of the game. The lack of evolution in artworks, such as changes in character expressions, leaves this game feeling incomplete.
VOICE ACTING AND SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)
Misato Training Plan has full voice acting for all characters, including Shinji. As the third installment in the series, the voice acting has improved greatly. There’s a clear effort to mimic the performances in the anime.
Sound effects are limited to inaccurate sex noises. The same audio track is used whether the sex is vaginal or anal even though the anal sex is done without lube. This makes butt sex sound wet and moist as if it’s vaginal. The lack of variety is immersion breaking.
MUSIC
The soundtrack in this game is carried over from the previous titles. Due to the better vocal performance of the cast, music is more forgivable. Unfortunately, none of the tracks fit the atmosphere and tone of the original Evangelion show. Rather than a befitting melancholic atmospheric, the music feels more like from a typical visual novel soundtrack.
HENTAI
Misato Training Plan has 26 CGs total. Surprisingly, the best CGs have absolutely nothing to do with Misato. While previous titles have the EVA girls become total whores, this game focuses primarily on Misato and Shinji. She never fucks Kaji or Toji – what a wasted opportunity.
The most memorable scene in the game involves Shinji getting a health lesson on the female body. He must choose one pussy to inspect. Will it be Rei, Asuka, or Hikari? Whoever you choose will have fully voiced dialogue, including when Shinji fucks and creampies her.
After completing the game, the player can enjoy bonus scenarios with Tsunade from Naruto or ChiChi from Dragon Ball. However, each scenario only has 1 CG and drags on for too long. It feels like a cheap way to please anime fans.
The lack of animations is disappointing. Even with so many POV scenarios, the developer chose the safe route.
CONCLUDING WORDS
Misato Training Plan is the final game in the Evangelion Training Plan Series. With numerous sex scenes and enjoyable voice acting, the game is a truly porn adventure. The downside being that there isn’t much story or gameplay to speak of.
Recommended to, you guessed it, hardcore Evangelion fans. Download Misato Training Plan.
