I've been clapping like a seal at every cutscene for the entire 40-hour current playtime but I can't tell how much of that is actually peak writing or how much of it is the sheer relief I feel that I'm playing a Hashino RPG that isn't Persona for the first time in nearly two decades. There's a...

I can't even begin to describe how necessary this was. Holy fuck. Individually the current three all pretty solid, but they have negative chemistry together in collabs. Remia was actively annoyed in the Apex collab the other day and only Arya has made any attempt to practice the FPS games Jira...

Resurrected myself from the dead just to say that the amount of tweets I saw yesterday accusing Cover of mismanagement over her decision to graduate is disgusting. At first I assumed it was just raw emotion, but I've seen back and forths today about burgeoning Chinese investment and trying to...

I think Doki puts it best: no one wins here. I also think she puts it best in that everyone deserves our sympathy and level-headedness. Elira has spent the last ten days being perceived as some kind of ringleader for a suicide attempt and unable to defend herself; meanwhile she's alone in a...

Postponing the event was a necessary decision. They were all in Japan between September and December last year. The streaming drought and disruption was absolutely dire but most fans sucked it up because they knew they were working toward something. Whatever that 'something' is needs to be...

I've been off twitter because it's a cesspool but regardless of whether the screenshots are fake or not, the very notion will likely cause others to have the idea of making shit up. I'm just putting it out there that I am not so scorched earth as to condone forgeries to stick it to Niji and I...

Definitely not back as I'm going on a big road trip and thankfully I enjoy other forms of media to keep me occupied, but I wanted to stick my neck out and show that I'm not quietly eating shit and thanking Tazumi for it. This is totally unacceptable. There will likely be a big announcement(s)...

At the start of the New Year, the official account promised us 'magical experiences' in 2024 and yet in only six weeks there have been two graduations, a termination, and a veritable Pandora's Box of witch hunting and allegations that they and they alone are responsible for opening. It's simply...

Felt like it would be cowardly of me to not be here during all this so I'll just say a quick piece: Total NijiEN management death. Or perhaps 'Total permanent absence of NijiEN management activities due to unforeseen circumstances' would be preferable for them. They had everything they...

I make up for lost time.

Anyway, for those who missed it: here's a Hiroshima-level cuteness bomb.

Granted they're just prototypes and the end product may very well make compromises on materials, but these figures look fantastic. I'm not expecting Kotobukiya-grade PVC statues but I'd be happy with Banpresto First-Prize or Pop-Up Parade quality. If Anycolor can show they can produce these...

I mean that's surely his choice to make. If he wants to present himself as 'just a guy who talks about things' that doesn't exonerate him from being responsible with his platform. Tomorrow there will be an Apex event designed to bring together Holo and Niji fans and members of all backgrounds...

Maybe quite naïve of her given that 'black company' has always been a meme and it obfuscates from the more nuanced criticisms people have of the company, but ultimately she's right: If you can't trust their word, what are you trying to achieve? Her insistence that she can get by for half a year...
