Biboo raided into Kronii and it's been basically a non-stop stream of low level schizo rants.

Edit: I'm pretty sure Kronii set up a conspiracy corkboard in Kaela's house. Edit2: The guberment stole part of her brain, corkboard confirmed.

She came this close to ranting about Elon, but stopped herself before saying his name.

While I'm here, @Abomination said his favorite on the album was the 1st song. It's called Hoshi Akari. I talked about it a bit when I rambled about her live but it's a remix/arrange of Starlight, the song she released for her 4th anniversary 2 years ago. Starlight is a song dedicated to 2nd gen and their journey together. When she sang it for her 5th anniversary last year, she realized that Starlight was really about her inner, ideal version of 2nd gen. She talked about this after Aqua's graduation, but basically she wanted 2nd Gen to be united and do stuff like original songs, streams and eventually concerts together. Starlight was about that desire to go on together.

So with Hoshi Akari, Subaru and the director knew that it wasn't an "answer" to Starlight, but wanted it to be about Subaru's resolution and drive to push onward. She didn't say this directly, but more specifically imo, it was to push past that sadness of Aqua and 2nd gen leaving her behind. The theme for Hoshi Akari and her 6th anniversary live in general is reaching a conclusion and then starting over again so she can keep going. It was the "Resolution Song" Subaru reached after everything that happened last year. This song, Hoshikakeru Sora e and the other songs she chose were all done to reach the conclusion of "Keep moving forward." It was also her 2025 new years resolution which is why it all hit like an emotional nuke during her live.

Somehow I rambled again but yeah duck love. She put so much heart into her album and her live

Can confirm. Still my favorite song on the album, and as I figured, I've been listening to it on repeat a lot all week. Such a great song. But I've also been listening to the whole album in full over and over too. The whole album really is just a ton of fun and just radiates Subaru's energy. Nice to hear that, not only are they great sounding songs, but there's a lot of meaning behind them for her. Just makes the whole thing even better.

Really happy for Subaru for not only reaching such a milestone with this album, but with flawless execution and great, well deserved praise.

Oh god.

I guess they are doing the sets in order then? That's gonna generate some bitching for sure.
The custom dice look cool though.

I imagine since the JP game had a head start they're kind of in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation with localising it. They either have to skip stuff, release everything in order and piss off international players who're having to wait longer, or do the thing Pokémon does where the EN sets are awkward mish-mashes of multiple JP sets.

I just collect cards rather than actively play TCGs for the most part so I'm content just to buy packs and enjoy the pretty card art as and when they're available, but having a different meta in different countries probably isn't ideal, even for games that are more of a novelty.

I don't think the EN side is ever gonna see much comp play, simply because of how much smaller and more niche it is.

Japan could possibly but that's to be seen if it does survive the two year phase.

The sheer profitability of this does however indicate that Cover will keep making cards until the day they go out of business though.

They'd probably have more luck finding a competitive scene if they let it build up a bit then put out an online client, I feel like card games in general are more niche these days, but letting people see the girls playing against each other on stream then play games against their online friends could be a good gateway into it, they have a huge marketing opportunity with streams being their bread and butter that most other non-mainstream TCGs don't.

Hmmm, at least it's just JP I suppose:

Wait there's 35k stadium seating for a simulation of a baseball game run by anime girls?

Yes, the press release says the games will be shown on the huge displays either side of the field.
I'm guessing a more detailed idea on what the spectator experience will be like is going to be revealed in the upcoming streams by Saku and Fubuki.

Not going to watch the collab, Nijisanji is gay for gays by gays

Proctor would make a good member

Ina talks about her original songs having interconnected lore before the release of Temari.


Post-release, Ina talks about past Ina making too many ideas for the MV of Temari that had to be scrapped.

[Aquatic Novellite]

The aliens will be anime girls, too.

 

[Phantasm]

If the aliens can't understand the concept of cute anime waifus maybe the aliens should fuck back off to whatever rock they crawled in from

Godamn Kaela, Negzana is already dead. You got to stop. At this rate, he might actually lose the will to live.
