The movie continues to air in more theaters every few weeks and has hit over 1 billion yen in revenue during its first 100+ cinemas opening weekend. Several stores have announced they will release figures/figurines of the CPK cast in the near future.Several dozen doujins have been released on melonbooks and similar sites already.Half a dozen magazines have released new interviews with the cast and directors. There have also been new English translated interviews added to the official site.https://www.cho-kaguyahime.com/news/detail.html?id=923The game app from the movie that drives Kaguya insane has relaunched on the official app store.
Maybe it's finally time to talk about the climax battle of the movie. It's been long enough for it to settle in I believe.So something that might slip past a lot of people even on repeated viewings is this: The Lunarians are actually following the rules of KASSEN.Yes, these super OP aliens are following the rules of the game in Tsukuyomi. Whether they do it out of some sense of politeness and reverence to Yachiyo or because the programming in that area just compels them to, there are several things indicating they do.1. This screen with the three crescen moons. It mirrors the three peaches that symbolize a player's lives in KASSEN. The Lunarians each get three lives just like the human players.2. The main Lunarian summons 6 special champions the same amount as on Iroha's side of the battlefield. 3. The leader also summons an army of the lantern warriors which are fodder in the same way as the KASSEN samurai are, who actually are shown drawing bows to fight for shot in the battle. So they basically provided their own fodder army.
The first round ends with 3 of the Lunarians being defeated and respawning. One Iroha's side only Mami and Roka got defeated. In response to being on the losing side, the Lunarians power up their weird fishdog thing, which could be viewed as cheating, which kinda justifies the Black onyX trio activing their own cheats to even the playing field.Notably, Rai gets defeated, which causes Noi to be distracted by his brother's loss and then getting sniped himself. After this both Noi and Rai get defeated one more time and so do Roka and Mami, which makes the score heavily in favor of the Lunarians who don't seem to lose anyone.
Iroha who sees that they are losing is trying to get back to Kaguya on the castle to save her, which is specifically breaking the rules of the game as she is leaving the battlefield. Thus the Lunarians completely wall her off and basically take the game.It was a hopeless battle for sure, but the fact that the Lunarians adhered to Yachiyo's rules actually gave an illusion of a victory path. If they had just been better they could have won the "match" and perhaps the Lunarians would have actually retreated. It's hard to say, considering they did power up their champions unfairly.The Lunarians in general are displayed as two-faced, on one hand employing underhanded tactics like brainwashing and breaking the rules, while also politely announcing Kaguya's return date ahead of time and participating in the performance for the final goodbye concer, even allowing Kaguya to finish her song and letting her say goodbye properly.
For other analyses, let's look at the music videos posted before the movie's release one more time.In the Dreaming Island MV the lyrics clearly point to this being by a Kaguya who transitions to Yachiyo, which this shot clearly shows off. It's Kaguya's spaceship being connected to all the wires and the MV shows her wrapped in a curtain that is connected to lots of energy lines.
The original Starry Seas MV entirely takes place in an aquarium, the same way Yachiyo's soul is trapped in the ship inside the aquarium.The MV also shows a view of Earth similar to how Kaguya looked through the "window" to view humanity from the moon.It also has fireworks at one point that represent her memory of the fireworks festival with Iroha.
Comic strip during the Mount Fuji climb in the Ray MV----Iroha: "I'm surprised you can climb this high." (I guess that's the body I created...)Kaguya: "Hm?"Kaguya: "Shall I carry you? Kaguya's still got a lot more left in her."Iroha: "Nah. What if your body overheats? We can't be that careless."Kaguya: "Hmph. I wanted to show off a little." (Iroha is such a worrywart...)Kaguya: "But!"
I wondered why either Kaguya or Yachiyo didn't order the Lunarians to stop, as she certainly had the authority to do so. I then realized doing so would have broken the cycle.>on the KASSEN battleI for one don't think the Lunarians cheated. Maybe they were simply better. They treated the first round as an eco round, probing the capabilities of the opponents, luring Black onyX and Iroha's trio into a false sense of security.Then the Lunarians pulled all the stops, and they gained too much momentum too quickly for the humans to adapt, and kept it in the third round. Happens often in RL sports, e- and otherwise.>>4541438This is a kickass wallpaper, by the way.
>>4541440Kaguya: "Thanks for coming all the way here with me! I could never have done it without you."Kaguya: "So what do you want to eat today when we get home?"Iroha: "I would love a full course of ita rice."Kaguya: "Understood <3 You really don't get enough exercize, do you? Let's play outside together more from now on."Iroha: "Yeah, yeah."
>>4541441>sickass wallpaperHonestly, all the artworks used in the MVs are wallpaper tier.
>>4541432Also worth noting about the first round is that all of the Lunarians who get defeated are destroyed by Iroha and Mikado, which is why the Lunarians send their powered up dragon thing after those two specifically.It's really neat how you can see Iroha and her brother doing a cross-slash combo if you watche their combination move frame by frame, with Iroha blast ahead, so her bro can throw her twin blade back to her, which pierces the second Lunarian.
>>4541448Iroha and Mikado are also the only ones who never lose a life. I was kinda disappointed how little Iroha actually does on her own in the fight, with the back half just being her destroying the generic lanterns while advancing back to the castle. But if you just look at the score, she actually killed 2 out of 3 enemy warriors.Honestly, these siblings are too high spec. Could have gone pro if she didn't need to revolutionize robotics for her wife. If she had gotten a cheat mode like the trio, she may even have been able to defeat the wall of enemies blocking kaguya.
We can now add Yuzuna Sumisaki to the list of yuri artists who watched the movie and made art for it. Sumisaki is the creator of Seito Kaichou to Banken.
https://x.com/kiel_adairalt/status/2035929712158240841I couldn't upload it because it's above 4MB. It's a version of the Romeo music video by Honeyworks with Iroha as the two Romeos lol
>>4541441>I for one don't think the Lunarians cheatedI just don't see how basically switching out one of your players for a higher powered one mid game isn't cheating. If they had done it in response to Black onyX using cheats it would have made them look less frivolous imo.
Kaguya: "Hiyah! Toh! Terya!"Iroha: "Kaguya, don't you think it's too hard to play the game when you're this close?"Kaguya: "Ehh? But I don't want to be separated from Iroha. Can't I stay?"Iroha: (That's totally unfair...) "It's not that you can't, but-"Kaguya: "There's an opening!"Iroha: "It's totally unfair after aallll!!"Kaguya: "Easyha~"Iroha: "Shut up!"
>>4541431The lunarian leader also reads the rules of this mode of KASSEN prior to this on their console and summons the 6 and including themselves as the king, equals 7, matching Kaguya + Iroha, Roka, Mami, Mikado, Noi, Rai.
>>4541435The way I see it, when Yachiyo first showed up and plinking away the lunarians during the concert, they probably realized that she was Kaguya's future self, hence the reverent apology and retreat, presumably to figure out the implication of this discovery and decide what to do.I think they then realize that Kaguya was fated to return to the moon, and set out again into the past, so they just decide to give Kaguya a month's reprieve and let her enjoy her last moments on earth, this also humouring her by participating in the KASSEN match. Also I don't think they necessarily cheated by 'transforming' their champions - it could arguably be a second alternate form or something - we didn't see the same 'hacking' stuff like we did with black onyx when they cheated.Regardless of whether they cheated before black onyx cheated, black onyx cheating also meant anything goes already by that time, so they decided to clone their champions by the end to win - probably didn't matter terribly much as long as Kaguya goes back with them as was fated.
>>4541478>switching out one of your players for a higher powered one mid gameWas that what happened? It can be explained by the other player always having been present in the game stacking buffs on itself.

>>4541553I'm always confused by the fact that so many artists give IroKagu a height gap. Why do they not understand that the first Kaguya body shown in the epilogue is clearly not the final one? The revival concert shows us directly that they are the same height, as does the Ray MV: Iroha gives her a body that is slightly more grown up.
>>4541531Oh, I never really realized that they basically mirrored even kaguya like that. I guess this KASSEN mode is kinda like capture the flag, excpet it's a leader figure.>>4541537>>4541541>we didn't see them hackingWell their hacks would be more sophisticated than some gamer guys on Earth. The way the fishdog transformed with those red and purple hues looked very unnatural to me. But sure, technically we don't understand how they work. Maybe this thing always had the ability to to transform. Doesn't seem right to have a playing piece the size of a boss demon though.The fact that they clearly know about the Bamboo Cutter tale, as they tried to brainwash Kaguya with it, also means they knew that they should "win" this fight by fate decreed, so that's probably why they weren't that worried about the methods.
>>4541704This feels like a very complicated insult towards Kaguya.
>>4541770I fucking hate this retarded spam bot that always posts futashit because it is too stupid to understand what the pic is actually showing. Kill yourself.
>>4541774It's based on a pic of female rabbits humping each other, stop being such a spaz.
>>4541776There is zero proof for that. And you are posting a bunch of art that was already posted last thread again. Stop it already.
>>4541777https://x.com/g1o2a3w4p5/status/2034301379804840046
>>4541778I'm not saying this doesn't happen in real life, I'm saying there is no proof that's what the artist is doing.
>>4541782Read the tweet
>>4541785I literally did. That's why I said I'm not doubting the real life fact. But the artist just draws futa.Also fucking retard, if you are just gonna spam all of danbooru anyway, might as well just post a single link at the start of the thread to the site, because yolu contribute nothing.
>>4541790Why do you hate danbooru so much anonette? chill
>>4541790>the artist just draws futa.He doesn't. Seems to me like you're obsessed with futa and see it everywhere.
>>4541794Anyone can go to danbooru or pixiv to see the art there. The reason posts from Xitter have more value is because you can genuinely miss art from there, because it doesn't all get catalogued on image aggregator sites. Also this danbooru bot has no sense, so he just keeps reposting art, because he blindly reposts absolutely anything from danboour, with zero quality control. It's lazy. Other anons translate comic strips or comment on the art or try to start discussions, but this guy just spams art with zero purpose.It's the same shit in every thread. If you see a wall of 50 pics spammed, it kills off discussion because nobody wants to scroll through that. It's not that bad in image dump threads, but this is clearly a discussion thread still.
>>4541798Tbh if this is the same one who posts danbooru art all over the board then i doubt he watched/read all the series in question. So yeah he probably cant discuss them. But its not like we got a limit to how many threads we can make so its not that bad.
>>4541553This is seriously so good. If all the doujins are gonna be this high quality we are eating good.I think it's genuinely funny how Yachiyo's complex goes both ways. She thinks Iroha can only love Kaguya, so she felt unworthy when Iroha lost her kaguya and thought Iroha wouldn't want her anymore. But in this doujin she also feels like Iroha is not sexually attracted to Kaguya in the same way as she is to Yachiyo. And as Yachiyo she has an easier time seducing Iroha.
>>4541774This isn't the first time you've brought up futa with no reason or proof.>>4532794It just makes you look like som weirdo reverse troll.
>>4541805You must be a newfag if you never saw the bot post futa art in other threads before. They got deleted many times for a reason.
>>4541790I think that anon linked the tweet wrong. https://x.com/amic_yu/status/2035612601644933160 You can see the artist posted it in response to the tweet that female-female humping occurs in rabbits. And that artist doesn't draw any futa.
>>4541798>Anyone can go to danbooru or pixiv to see the art there.What do you think is the point of an imageboard like 4chan? It's way more convenient to get pics from here than from other sites.>it kills off discussion because nobody wants to scroll through thatThis just reads like you projecting.>It's not that bad in image dump threads, but this is clearly a discussion thread still.There is no such thing as "image dump" threads or "discussion" threads, that's an arbitrary distinction you made up. If you really hate seeing images so much, you can always turn on Worke Tyme, it's there for a reason.
>>4541837Completely and utterly missed the point. Guess that's what happens when you cherrypick sentences.
Don't do it Iroha! Becoming a magical princess to fight Lunarians isn't what it's cracked up to be.
>>4541806Because anyone who posts images from the largest anime image site is the same person? Again, this just seems like a weird personal obsession of yours that you're projecting on everyone else.If futa is really being posted, you should be able to point to a few examples, but your earlier showing makes it more likely that it's just delusions on your part.
>>4541841How the fuck do I posted examples of deleted posts, dumbass? Stop derailing this fucking thread on purpose because you feel called out already. I told you to fuck off spambot and that's it.
>>4541838What's the point then? It just seems like a bunch of whataboutisms. "This thread has this, so it can't have that as well."You sound like a larval form of ACK.
>>4541845There are archives, you retard.
Gotta say I prefer seeing reposts to this one moron throwing a tantrum.
Hope a spinoff has Iroha becoming an astronaut instead of going into robotics. She goes to the Moon and gets Kaguya out.
>>4541870Again, Kaguya clearly doesn't reside on the physical moon. Whatever that digital space is clearly exists in some kind of pocket dimension. So just flying to the moon won't actually do anything. She would also need to become a quantum physicist who can somehow turn data into matter.
>>4541840This artist really loves the rainbow telephone pole.Here he turned it into a gacha. Super strong fridge carrying mover is a total SSR.
>>4541884And here he recreated the tale of the pond where you the maiden asks you whether you dropped a golden or silver version into the pond. Of course Iroha doesn't want any of these telephone poles...
>>4541885She choose gold to sell it lmao
>>4541870>>4541883Iroha flies to the moon, finds a router on a random rock and plugs into lunarian VR.
>>4541906Moneeeey
Kaguya would have been better as a show, not a movie. It's a great movie, but once a movie ends, there's nothing to talk about it other than picking it apart scene by scene.It doesn't carry the same punch of watching and discussing a series as it airs week after week.
I remember seeing a tereriri x roka fic in jp, does anyone have the link for it?
>>4541999It has more going on than 99% of 12 episode anime. Also you can still read the Light Novel and the Guidebook. We even got stuff out of the music videos.
>>4542008...what? Like, the number 2 streamer high spec elf Tetete??
>>4542012yes
Tomorrow. I'm not expecting anything more than another video with remixed scenes like the Reply MV but we'll see.
>>4542014They are throwing Roka at any girl now, aren't they? Then again we know so little about Tetete that you can write her as your personal OC.
>>4542036...it literall says it's gonna be a new PV. You know a short promotional video for the movie in cinemas. Tbh they already peaked on that with the yuri PV.
>>4542048If they're promoting it like this it's most likely going to be something bigger than the usual 15-second promo.
>>4542050I doubt it. But the fact that they are doing another one certainly implies the cinema run is going to be extended way further.
>>4541427Let's talk about the Guidebook some more. It is full of extremely interesting details that we kinda glossed over before it was fully translated. Now that we got a competent TL I think it's actually extremely useful and a lot better than most public interviews.This first thing isn't really that important, but I love the clearcut line on Kaguya's summary>Meeting Iroha helped her begin to understand complex human emotions, learn to resist or accept unjust fates, and realize the precious value of loveNo beating around the bush, just like Kaguya's feelings in the movie.
>Natsuyoshi: The only principle she truly follow is "loving Iroha"Holy shit.
I love how Nagase calls her "Natsuyoshi-san" while Natsuyoshi calls her "Anna-chan". This really feels like the IroKagu dynamic in a way. And their chemistry was so good they barely needed any voice direction.Also I find it fascinating that they didn't know Yachiyo's identity during the audition. So they could form their characters without foreknowledge.Very happy about the segment where they just talk about what to pay attention to during a rewatch. Everyone knows this is a movie that needs to be watched several times. I think Natsuyoshi is refering to that part where Yachiyo talks about the twists of fate ahead and how she hopes they will still reach the climax of the story?
Was this originally supposed to be a TV series? I liked it, but it would really have benefitted from more downtime and setup episodes. Even with its ridiculous runtime for a movie, it still barely had time to breathe and was constantly introducing new concepts. If so, I'm glad it worked out better than Black Fox; I guess try to hit all of your full plot's main beats even at the cost of pacing is a better idea than turning your introduction arc into a full movie.I wonder if the original pitch would have finally done an actual Appletree Yard "Secret Good Kaguya-hime Final Episode" thing like every fandom with a disappointing finale imagines but which never actually happens. The actual fakeout we got was cute, but if it had been an actual episode ending presented as the real finale, I think people would have physically exploded.
>>4542091No. Yamashita always wanted to make a movie. They did have way too many ideas and a way too long script, but it was never intended as a anime series. Also I disagree about the fakeout. The whole point is that it's hokey and not believable. I mean the silly Kaguya face with the peace sign in the sky is clearly a parody of old anime where this was done for characters who left a show, but it just looks silly in what appears to be a serious scene. And the Netflix credits fakeout is obviously not supposed to really get someone considering you can literally see there are 30 minutes left. In the cinema it may be a little more effective because it doesn't have the silly Black onyX 3rd Live concert message on screen.Point is, the credits thing is supposed to be a quick shock factor gag, not an actual bait cliffhanger.
>>4542090That foreshadowing by Yachiyo after they won the Yachiyo Cup waa the most unsubtle thing in the whole movie, so its hardly a detail people would miss on their swcond viewing. Unlike, let's say, the fox hand gesture she does for one second in Starry Seas.
I watched It yesterday. A good movie for sure, and I love the fact they went "screw this, we're going to make our happy ending."Also it was fun hearing a Vocaloid song in 2026.
I like how even most POV fanart make it clear it's either Iroha or Kaguya.
>>4542036https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v28kUayNnY>90s version of that 100% IroKagu theater PVNice.
>>4542048Apologize.
>>4542293You can never completely escape hetshitters and waifufags, eapecially on popular media, but CPK has an astoundingly low amount of hetshit art or porn going on. It's one of the cleanest yuri fandoms right now. And that's despite the fact that a lot of normies try to pretend it isnt yuri.
>>4542305I dunno. I think the 15 second yuri PV got the same thing across while spoiling less. But I also can't deny that the "Iroha" call rush and the montage of their special gay handshake really got me.I cannot fathom anyone watching this PV and not immediately understanding it's a yuri movie at least.
>>4542317It's meant as a celebration for people who watched it. I love that they snuck in Yachiyo's "Iroha" alongside Kaguya's.
>>4542313Cool, but no one asked.
>>4542319Most people agree its for both rewatchers and new people though. >>4542320Do you have brain damage? I just elaborated on the same sentiment. It's nice that all of it is yuri.
>>4542313>>And that's despite the fact that a lot of normies try to pretend it isnt yuri.That's what happens with anything even remotely yuri-like in general; people use the excuse of misinterpretation or paranoia just to deny the obvious. And it's not like it's new; even back in Sailor Moon or .hack, the hetfag stupidity was already a thing. That's what happens when yuri becomes popular. The best argument is an entire movie that says the opposite.
>>4542291Going beyond the fairy tale ending really is the core strength of this movie. A lot of these anime original movies just love shoving hardship and misery down your face to seem deep. People who think dark or bittersweet endings are somehow more emotionally resonant have been in control of scripts too long. CPK really gets that even if your leads suffer and not everything goes right, it's always worth trying to get a happy ending. I think especially with how thinga are right now people need that kind of uplifting message.
>>4542354
>>4542327>>Going beyond the fairy tale ending really is the core strength of this movie.Not only to go beyond the fairy tale, but also to remove that nonsense of yuri taking the short end of the stick in these situations, with a "tragic romance" as an excuse and as you said "dark or bittersweet endings" (you can see that silly tendency with the Kobayashi series and that they both necessarily cannot be together... but the other non-yuri couples do not have that problem for some reason)>>I think especially with how thinga are right now people need that kind of uplifting message.One thing that works in the ending's favor is that it's not a miracle or a cheap excuse; Iroha achieved it through effort and determination. She earned her happy ending, overcoming a tragedy that would have defeated anyone else... she ended up with two girlfriends for the price of one.
>>4542372
>>4542379
I may have missed something, but why did Kaguya think Yachiyo was somewhere in the past available to help her?
>>4542364It's Yachiyo who suffered and perservered for 8000 years, so the ending is even more earned than just Iroha studying robotic for 10 years. >she ended up with 2 girlfriends for the price of 1If you really think about it, it's the wxact opposite. She got one girlfriend for the price of 2. She will never date the young Kaguya or the original Yachiyo. It will always be this mix of both.
>>4542381Yachiyo said she is 8000 years old. So Kaguya is coping that she will be around to locate and save her. She actually believes that ancient AI backstory.
>>4542383Is it lesbian or masturbation?
>>4542389Ah, right. maybe it wasn't that irrational, since Earth doesn't seem to have other AIs that advanced. Maybe Kaguya thought she was a fellow extraterrestrial?
Chainsawman finale meme from a reddit artist.
>>4542520I love how this literally makes no sense if you don't know anything about Chainswman. Like this just doesn't work at all in CPK. Honestly makes it funnier.
>>4542526Even in the context of Chainsaw Man, this scene made no sense at all. Shit was fucked.
Kaguya having given up on meeting Iroha again before she became Yachiyo really hurts so much. It reminds me of those lines in Ex-Otogibanashi and Remember.In Ex-Otogibanashi Yachiyo says she went through imaginary conversations with Iroha over and over in here head, imagining how she would respond to things. This delusion was her only solace for centuries, till she wrote down every possible conversation she could imagine. The sheer yearning and pain of those lyrics make me tear up every time...Meanwhile Remember is a much more accepting song. This was written as her Yachiyo persona, already having met Iroha again as a child. Trying to be there for her and give her strength. So when the lyrics mention the old dusty notebook being put to rest, it is literally a response to Ex-Otogibanashi's imaginary conversation being written down while Kaguya kept crying. She can put the imaginary exchanges away now, because now she can engage with the real Iroha again, who she is fully devoted to. She can finally look back at her hardship as a temporary pain, the rain of yesterday. Now she can skip through those puddles and keep going and she wants Iroha to do the same.Also as an side, I can never get used to how Yachiyo's socks are just painted on.
>>4542546Oh I somehow posted the untranslated page...
Rrrrrrap battol!!
GorgeoussssssssThis is a phone wallpaper... if it wasnt overized.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2037499888963817543RiP CPK fanbase
>>4542721This is a total nothingburger. The entire stupid legalese word salad can be summed up as "dont break the law, dont infringe on copyright, dont make money off our brand directly, unless it's very clear it's not related to the official distributor and doesnt just steal primary content (e.g. the movie, novel, manga)"
>>4542724Doujin creators are forbidden from selling them online, it is a big deal for them and basically prevents us from ever getting them.
>>4542739You can always upload them for free. Though I am certain many will ignore such a stupid "rule" anyway. There is literally nothing they will do about doujins, just like they always haven't before.
>>4542740>for freeLol. The Japanese are some of the biggest bootlickers when it comes to following rules
>>4542784The rules literally say distributing content for free is fine. Also especially in otaku circles the Japs constantly go against the rules and do their own thing. Japs are also incredibly disinterested in copyright. They literally sold fanworks of Marvel properties in stores until the Murican company put its boot down with serious legal force. All the bootlickers in the comments aren't actual creators. Just randos who want to look compliant, but will without hesitation buy or get fanworks and articles behind the scenes. That's the twofaced nature of Jap society.
She recharges via lesbian sex. Iroha trily is a genius scientist!
Ok we have to settle this. What are they gonna wear at their wedding? Is Iroha gonna wear a dress a or a suit? Are they wearing Japanese wedding outfits? Is Iroha gonna wear the male hakama or a kimono?
>>4542546>Also as an side, I can never get used to how Yachiyo's socks are just painted onAn interesting detail is that Kaguya also has painted on socks (sort of) during the goodbye concert. Maybe this goes along with her wanting to be more like Yachiyo as she said before?
>>4542817nice jeans
>>4542721Looks like Netflix rearing it's ugly head and they were compelled to put this out to me.
>>4542957I highly doubt it, at least in regards to most of these "rules" (again, most of them are not enforcable at all). The parts about copyright and not stealing the movie's footage, yes. Those work within Netflix's modus operandi. But they are not known to give a shit about fanworks. There were no ceases and desists sent to Arcane porn artists or people making dolls or accesories of the characters on Etsy. Netflix has too many different series to give a shit.And again, the worst thing in that entire word salad is apparently that they discourage selling doujins online in a public fashion. Which they cannot enforce in the first place.
>>4542840Everyone should wear a wedding dress
IT'S ART
I love every second of kaguya streaming like a maniac while Iroha tries to study in the back.
>>4542975
>>4542976The dangers of webcam streams lol
>>4541436I just noticed that the curtain around Kaguya are covered in IroKagu panels. She is literally wrapping herself in memories of her time with Iroha...
>>4542840Y'know, Mikado gets to have a ring, so I feel like same-sex marriage might actually be a thing in the CPK universe. But the reason IroKagu might not get married is complicated.In the first place, Kaguya has no birth certificate, family registry or ID. She isn't even from Earth. Secondly, as far as pretty much any government agency would be concerned, kaguya is an android. She isnt human and we don't want to get into the issues of android rights here.So basically, I believe they will never officially be married. They might hold a private ceremony and exchange rings, but maybe they don't need those either. They don't have anything to prove to anyone. They are also rich, successful and famous, so there is not much that a marriage could actually give them in terms of financial and status advantages.
>>4543007>In the first place, Kaguya has no birth certificate, family registry or ID. She isn't even from Earth.Nothing a bit of hacking a few databases can't fix. It sure is good that Yachiyo is an AI.
>>4543007>>4543095Kaguya is shown to have a normal life in the epilogue and take part in heavily televised concerts, she can't be off the grid without an ID. And I like to think she and Iroha will get married to make good on their proposal at the Yachiyo Cup concert.
>>4543096How will Iroha handle the mean jokes about her being a pedorobofucker?
The English dub was decent. Bold move to do the songs in English, even if they were certainly the weakest part of the dub. Still made me cry on the rewatch though.
>>4543129No lolibot, no valid opinion.
>>4543095Yachiyo is not an AI.
>>4543129The final version of Kaguyabot is adult and the same height as Iroha.
>>4543134I also watched it and while I think they missed hard on Yachiyo's casting, the overall voice work was decent, I agree. They didn't even dub half the songs anyway, only those directly sung on screen by the characters. The songs were really bad, because they refused to 1. Get someone to write actual good song lyrics (I dont even care about accuracy at this point, just make them actually sound like a real song goddammit)2. They clearly didn't hire professional singers (just do the usual movie thing of changing to a real singer for the songs ffs)As for the script, I have pointed this out in the very first thread, it's actually really badly translated. They often say the opposite of what is said in the Japanese or entirely miss the point. Many moments dont land the same way, because they don't get it. I just dont get who thr script writer for the translation was or what they were thinking.Example:Japanese - Iroha: "I want to be with Kaguya"English - Iroha "I want Kaguya back"These literally are not the same in any way. Phrasing, meaning, intention, context. The English dub just completely misses the point of the entire scene and this is a super essential moment too. Iroha acknowledges Yachiyo as Kaguya in this scene and says she wants to be together with her. It's basically a confession of love and validating Yachiyo's true identity.The English version just makes it seem like Iroha is still hung up on how she lost the "real" Kaguya and makes it look like the whole Kaguyabot thing is just a way for her to turn Yachiyo back into Kaguya later.
>>4543186(continued)On the upside, the dub also makes a few things more explicit. Obviously in English the words "I love you" are way more unambigously romantic. They could have used "I really like you" or something to make it sound more platonic, but they didn't. Also in the final scene here Kaguya says "Who knows, maybe we will split up after this?" jokingly in Japanese, the English dub uses "Maybe we will break up later?" which is a much clearer relationship term.So while the EN dub misses the mark many times, it is also very clear about this being a romance movie.
>>4543096>I like to think she and Iroha will get married to make good on their proposal at the Yachiyo Cup concertThat's true, they did set it up like that. But I also feel like you don't need a legal cerificate to basically get the essence of what being a married couple is like. I can totally see them do a "wedding stream" for maximum spectacle though.
Honestly, I find it quite interesting that Kaguya is as much a real life streamer as a Vtuber. Especially because at the very end of the movie, Iroha and her hold a real life concert. That means everyone knows who Iroha is too. It can't take awfully long for people to find out that Iroha Sakayori is a relatively famous scientist shortly after. Whether they want to or not, they are now public faces and celebrities and will have people scrutinize their lives. All the downsides of fame etc.But I think thematically this was supposed to show Iroha's growth. She went from not wanting anyone to know who she was in Tsukuyomi so she could enjoy it as her safe haven where nobody has expectation for her, to eventually becoming the producer of the most popular rising star streamer, then having her avatar revealed and participating in concerts, get her relation to the top gaming streamer revealed, becoming the administrator's personal producer and then finally revealing her real life self to the public and becoming sort of an idol in her own right, even if briefly....also I didn't really consider this, but Iroha revealing her true identity probably means she indirectly doxxed Asahi too, because they revealed they are siblings lol
>>4541430Revenge of the Rohas
>>4543197Mami didn't immediately recognize Asahi, Rai and Noi at the end despite being their biggest fan and had to put it together through Iroha calling Asahi her brother, I guess they don't take part in in-person esport events and managed to keep their real faces hidden. It helps that Asahi and Noi don't look exactly like their avatars unlike Iroha and Kaguya.
>>4543291I feel like Mami could absolutely have found out what Iroha's bro looks like, considering she is best friends with his sister. The fact that they never met offline before is almost a statistical anomaly. This implies that she was never THAT kind of obssessive yumejoshi. I guarantee that the internet will immediately dig up everything on the Sakayori family they can the moment Iroha revealed herself at that concert.Hell, the fact that Kaguya has no tracable past is probably way more attention grabbing in itself. She is basically a ghost outside of her streaming activities. It's really interesting to think about from a modern internet perspective.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNW162hQhZ0I dont think there will ever be a professional recreation of KASSEN, but fans are doing some fun interpretations already.
>rule about not reusing any footage that hasn't been posted by the official sources>official Chou Kaguyahime channel has released a combined 85% of the entire movies footage in music videos and clips by nowNot really the limitation it appeared to be art first. I have a feeling that if given the chance they would upload the entire thing to youtube at this point lol
Hayami was a first choice no-audition pick. Honestly, I can see why. Her voice is obviously what the character was made with in mind.>ryo (supercell) is a total music autist who draws voice vibration diagrams on the flyNo other way for a masterpiece like Ex-Otogibanashi to come into existence. Genius musicians are all a bit autistic.>when Iroha and Kaguya teased each other Yachiyo had to cover for them in the live showsI wonder what scene she is talking about. Wasn't it Yachiyo who teased both Iroha and Kaguya?
>Hayami about kaguya: "Although she appears innocent and carefree on the outside, there are moments when you can see a serious look in her eyes. I really like that contrast."She really gets it!>Hayami about Iroha: "At the same time there are many scenes that will make the viewer feel a sharp pain in their chest, because she is still just a 17 year old girl."No, she REALLY gets it.>What is the relationship between Iroha and Kaguya?>"Kaguya's feelings when she says 'Iroha, I love you' and Iroha's sligthtly awkward way of receiving those feelings are portrayed wonderfully.">"Even after becoming Yachiyo that feeling of 'love' still remains the same and never changes. I also used that point as a guideline in my voice performance."Out of every possible example she picks the romantic confession scene and says she based her entire vocal performance around that feeling. Is she actually Yachiyo???
https://x.com/spoon_B/status/2027000618850914746/ Was this interview already scanned? (Heads up that there are male characters in the tweet pic)
>>4543333And now the creator in the pinned comment has already said he won't release it because of the guidelines, which is definitely the chilling effect at play here. These guidelines are going to kill fan engagement on anything much more than doujinshi and fan art.>先程公開された公式の二次創作ガイドラインに則り公開予定を取り消しさせていただきます応援して頂いている皆様にはご迷惑をおかけしますこと本当に申し訳ございません。>In accordance with the official derivative work guidelines that were just released, I will be canceling the planned release. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to everyone who has been supporting me. (youtube MTL)Fuck these guidelines and rip potential franchise building.
Roka winner bad end
>>4543393This wasn't gonna be a real game. And literally nobody could have stopped the dev from continuing. If he could be stopped be something like that, then he didn't actually care that much.
>>4543501Yachiyo really standing there like a jealous ghost lol
>>4543393If you go a bit further down the comments, he says that releasing a game based on another IP on Epic (game store) is not allowed, which is what he apparently tried to do. So I think this was gonna be cancelled either way.
>>4543385I don't think anybody scanned this one yet. But we got more than enough Yamashita interviews on these topics. Having the Black onyX cast interviewed doesn't seem awfully interesting, especially the stupid White Day question.
>>4543257
This artist hid the full doujin behind their patreon unfortunately.
They could definitely have used the costume to do a kiss like this.
>>4543534It was her idea. Somewhere along the line, she got addicted to suffering.
>>4543551And she asked Iroha to set up a camera so she can watch?
>>4543580Are you serious dumbass? >>4542840
https://x.com/Ali2E_TOYS/status/2038509721704173662More scales. Yachiyo's is similar to the Kotobukiya one but Kaguya's will wear the graduation live outfit rather than her regular Tsukuyomi one.
>>4543624I always prefered that authentic Kaguyahime outfit. It's really iconic, even if it loses all of the rabbit theme.
>>4543552On a nice chair next to the bed, yes.
I don't know which interviews these are from, but I've read some neat tidbits from Jap sites.1. The movie had to cut down a lot of content, because the script was way too long, so a lot of the more romance focused partts were ultimately cut short (the novel is more explicit because of that)2. Kaguya's voice in the shorts/messages on the real life youtube channel is a lot deeper and more casual than in the movie. Apparently she is intentionally speaking in a more girly way around Iroha? lol3. Kaguya's birthday is July 5th, but the day she crashed into the telephone pole was July 11th. That's 7 days. 7 x 24 = 168. Somehow even the time she took to get to Earth is Iroha.
>>4543640>2. Kaguya's voice in the shorts/messages on the real life youtube channel is a lot deeper and more casual than in the movie. Apparently she is intentionally speaking in a more girly way around Iroha? lolThat's intentional to mimic real Vtubers
>>4543664How? Usually it's the other way around. Vtubers put on fake performance voices on stream.
>>4541430So are any if those doujins getting uploaded somewhere?
>>4543664https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1774517162080606.mp4
>>4543664i only learned about this move because her dance came up in my "Vtubers dance." videos on YouTube
>>4543889>>4543890Releasing that dance animation for people to repost and imitate was certainly a smart PR move. I've even seen some pretty good cosplayers do it.It's even funnier, because there is a scene in the movie where the exact same thing happens and people start doing Kaguya's dances as shorts for clicks.
>>4543716They'll be uploaded on ehentaiI bought a couple but they haven't arrived yet but when it does it'll be on ehentai https://e-hentai.org/g/3861020/59f93ead7a/https://e-hentai.org/g/3862200/c9d24f652b/I uploaded these myself
>>4543716https://e-hentai.org/g/3858381/f281b6110e/And there's this if nobody mentioned it already
>>4543914Honest reaction: pic related.Just watch it.
>>4543917there's three character designs so people gonna draw them, if you miss out on the yuri of the decade because of fanart of all things it's your lossfeel free to look for another site with 'proper' yuriota like you instead
>>4543917If someone drew fanart of you fucking your mom, does that mean your mom is appealing to you?
I call this piece 'anonsbane'.
>>4543917While they are the same person anyway, fans want both for max yuri and max happiness. So you get threesomes as the norm because leaving out either Kaguya or Yachiyo is too cruel.Anyway three girls are better than two. I do not see NTR or cheating here, just three lesbians that actually love each other. There is no cheating, because that would be Iroha + Roka.
>>4543916>>4543918Pathetic samefag desperate for attention.
>>4543909These are pretty funny. Good choice. Of course Iroha would switch to becoming a genius biologist to finish iPS cell research and have babies with Kaguya.But why'd you only tag Iroha on the second doujin?>>4543910Melody has already been posted. They uploaded it to Dynasty.
>>4543939Don't indulge the schizo. He is clearly brain damaged and has some kind of weird anti-poly obssession (which doesn't even apply to CPK in the first place).
>she didn't notice the hundreds of scratch marks on her back and wants to go outside like thisTypical Iroha move
>>4543976I didnt know this, but apparently there is a meme about moms/grandmas grabbing omelettes like that and flipping them despite it being super hot. Housewife superpowers or whatever. Of course Iroha would have that skill too.
>>4544006>fangsIt's always really weird to me that Kaguya's avatar got fangs even though she is supposed to be a rabbit. And Iroha's doesn't...
>>4544007This could make for a fantastic phone wallpaper.
>>4544008Symbolism for Kaguya biting in bed and Iroha being gentle, some artists depict them like that.
>>4544008She's a digital office lady. I'm sure she knows what the fangs mean, but I can't believe she'd care about biological accuracy in her avatar.
Does Iroha really need some indie boyband investing in her world-changing prosthetics project when her girlfriend basically created and owns Fortnite?
>>4544070I thought she needed their expertise, not their funding.
>>4544070Why spend her girlfriend's money when she can spend her brother's?
>>4544070Yachiyo's such a sweetheart she probably runs it as a non-profit.
>>4544076I could swear Iroha said some of Kaguya's avatar customizations were paywalled. Also, Tsukuyomi does seem to have sponsors
>>4544070I think that's a misunderstanding. The main android research was clearly funded, but Iroha is trying to actually make a nigh human body for her girlfriend. Most companies wouldnt invest into a bunch of superfluous functions like smell and taste for what essentially would just be working machines. Kaguya being a spaient soul transfered into the bot is an exceptional case.>>4544078That was never mentioned in the movie. I highly doubt Yachyio would lock any customisation behind microtransaction, considering she literally made this workd for her broke girlfriend. It is true that sponsors are a thing, but I think those are just for the e-sports part. Running a server of this scale would also be very expensive so she's clearly not making much profit.
>>4544093>Most companies wouldnt invest into a bunch of superfluous functions like smell and taste for what essentially would just be working machinesIsn't that the opposite of what her project would be good for? She's not working on AI, that's the part they already have. It's about mind-machine interfaces for the hardware, hence the scene with Mami being a test subject, and that's a medical breakthrough, not automation. Prosthetics able to replace or augment senses are far from superfluous.
>>4544095Her project was to make a functioning android, not prosthetics. That Mami scene was about figuring out how brainwaves affect movement and recreating it for an android body.But Iroha's ultimate goal isnt to make a mass producable android, but to give an alteady sentient soul a nigh-human body to inhabit. So she is developing tons of incredibly superfluous features, like digestion, all 5 senses, sweating etc. This wouldn't be useful for someone investing into android projects, even in the sexbot industry, because nobody made an AI that could actually use these features properly.I agree that this project indirectly also lends itself to proesthetics and human augmentation, but looking at the end result, that is clearly not what Iroha went for when her lab is literally all about creating a fully functioning body that can interface with things.So again, funding probably dried up when she tried to implement and research features that simply have no practical use for a company that goes into robotics.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2038904418276725188What kind of underhanded gacha level tactics are they using for cinemas these days? They keep adding unique pre-movie character voice sets in cinemas viewings, but they change them up every week, so you would have to go several times to hear them all. Lat week it was Kaguya alone. This week it's Kaguya and Iroha together.That's not even mentioning the illustrations they hand out at the cinemas.This pre-movie skit seems pretty interesting though. This casual sounding Kaguya with shy Iro-P on stream together....
>>4544231She Kaguyaho'd her all night long...
>>4544188You're describing prosthetics and saying "but that's not prosthetics". Iroha is creating a full-body prosthetic.
Turing Love may be the most insanely perfect sontg choice I have ever seen.
>>4544234That's not what a prosthetic is... it is also not gonna work for anyone but Kaguya.
Whoa Iroha's and her mother's VAs both had their birthday on March 31st? What a weird coincidence.
A high quality AMV in current year?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Sd2yEWB_EIt's more likely than you'd think.
>>4544188>[Iroha] is developing tons of incredibly superfluous features, like digestion, all 5 senses, sweating etc. This wouldn't be useful for someone investing into android projects, even in the sexbot industry, because nobody made an AI that could actually use these features properly.Unless you're making a whole new body for the 'brain works, body doesn't' people, like Stephen Hawking.
>>4544289That is incredibly niche though. I suppose a rich disabled billionaire might invest in that, but clearly that didn't happen. Letting her millionaire brother and his fag squad bankroll the final research also made her less beholden to anyone's scrutinizing I suppose.
https://x.com/ruru_Ilusto_12/status/2039299109161664834Can't post the pages here, because they contain a man. But the concept was really interesting to me. An assassin tries to snipe Iroha, because she is a really important figure in robotics and science now, but Kaguya protects her and takes out the assassin wthout Iroha even finding out about it. Yachiyo has seen enough wars and assassinations to predict this kind of shit by now.
There is so much April Fool's art about Kaguya faking that she is gone again and Iroha getting PTSD, so I choose to instead post this cute one about Kaguya thinking she has to tell the biggest lie (that she hates Iroha) and immediately breaking down because she cant bear it lol
>>4544288That was pretty good, thanks for linking
>>4544338https://x.com/theatreduflamme/status/2039289892543603159Here's another wholesome one
>>4544346Cute
>>4544215Someone made a comic strip making fun of the fact that Iroha's greeting "Iroppi~" doesn't have an actual greeting in it lol
>>4544504
>>4544468I had been thinking I wanted to see some Yandere Yachiyo content, but now I think I'd like to see some Yandere Iroha stuff too...
>>4544215Speaking of the cinema gacha, they are now also airing the Reply MV at random periods inside the movie theater. Apparently it switches between the ray MV and this. I don't even get that part... the Ray MV is literally the epilogue, so it should always air imo.But seeing the Reply MV on the big screen is probably amazing too...
>>4541427So we got music videos for every single song on the official channel except the CPK Melt cover.The only version out there is the Miku cover of it on ryo (supercell)'s own channel.Melt is like the objectively most romance focused song in the soundtrack... so can we maybe hope that they are gonna release the Natsuyoshi version with another MV as the final cherry on top? It doesn't have to use movie footage like the other, just a slideshow of still image art would be fine too if it showed Kaguya and Iroha.
>>4544557I'd expect it in June. They can still cycle it in in theaters by then.
I really like the scene where Kaguya hangs out with Japanese great men and women. Yeah, one of the most famous Japanese poems is now about lesbians. You know who'd have supported their relationship? That's right, Natsume Sōseki. Yuri must claim all.
>>4544583>I am a sea bunny
>>4544583The implication that Kaguya's lesbian romance inspired Kenji Miyazawa's works is also pretty fun.
>>4544580June? Any particular reason? I would expect it a bit sooner. The hype wave isnt gonna last that much longer.
>>4544601IroKagu June brides
>>4544603Melt MV + wedding outfits reveal would quite literally break Japan.
>>4544692
>>4544694
>>4544692>>4544695These are so crazy OOC that I can't really enjoy them. It kinda ignores both of their strong minds and turns them into sobbing children.I think you can do this kind of gag/short, but it would have to be more subtle.
>>4544076It seems like she owns her own payment processor, I don't know if you even *can* do that without making a few billion for yourself as pocket change just by accident.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IVwpa00Ggg>Kaguya interview>the first thing she says is: "IRO-P! I LOVE YOU!"Shameless
>>4544718She is sending a message. On all channels, on all frequencies, at all times.
>>4544718This is an interview that takes place between the collab concert and the graduation concert, so Kaguya already knows she is going back to the moon. So lines like asking Yachiyo to take care of Iroha are like a brick to the face....
>>4544722She also calls IroP Iroha at one point, but I guess she's already widely doxxed by that point since her real name slipped during the Kassen match.
>>4544723People already cheered for Iroha by her real name during the collab concert lol
Man a break-up between these two would be super awkward, considering Kaguya is entirely dependent on Iroha to maintain her body.
>>4544722That's the context for this expression she makes in the ray music video while Iroha is still salivating at Yachiyo.
>>4544734I wonder. This doesn't feel like a time where Iroha would act so carefree and droll over Yachiyo. She was clearly very anxious and Kaguya focused during those last few days before the graduation concert.
>>4544737It's also worth wondering if Kaguya was caught completely by surprise when the lunarians showed up at the Yachiyo Cup concert or if she was always aware her time was limited.
>>4544288Not my favorite song choice, but damn is the editing slick on this one!
>>4544233The sequel!
>>4544740Safe to say they Kaguyaho'd each other all night long again.This artist sure loves that reaction panel.
>>4544738She absolutely did know from the start they would come to take her back. She already told Iroha repeatedly that they could come to take her home any day. Like right before the big KASSEN match she said they could come to take her and Iroha was making that very badly worded quip about hoping they would come to take her home...

This is the most powerful top moment I have ever seen from Kaguya in fanart!
Someone's interpretation of what Iroha's KASSEN outfit would be like after the timeskip.
Lmao they actually did ithttps://x.com/i/status/2040444282918539483
>>4545069>Srtudio ChromatoWait wait wait wait wait!!That's the actual studio who made the movie!W-H-A-TThey actually drew this insanely obviously gay as fuck art for a NON-CANON yuri side-pairing?! How based can any one studio be....
>>4545069Let's all calm down. There is a third glass, so this is probably a birthday party at Iroha's home for Roka (it's her birthday in japanese time right now) with Mami right on the other side of the table. Although this looks very suggestive regardless, I think it's supposed to be more of a wholesome thing. With our knowledge from the guidebook it's really hard not to put a romantic spin on it though.That being said, if even what is supposed to be a friendship art is this yuri, then what the heck will they do for Iroha's or Kaguya's birthdays?
There is gonna be soooo much IroRoka art spawning from this.
>>4545069Oh Roka, you were supposed to get her drunk.
>>4545069That it's post-timeskip makes it even more delicious.
>>4545069https://x.com/yama_ic/status/2040474967226409011>drawn by Yamashita himselfNow you know the director's preferred ship.
>>4545093lmaoCould you actually imagine though? The director who actively participated in writing the strongest yuri couple in years is secretly supporting the Yaya? He autistically described for minutes how Kaguya fell in love while Iroha gargled water, but in truth he wanted Iroha to gargle Roka's juices. Was he the one who inserted that Guidebook line for us to figure out the ship?
>>4545069Also a callback, by the way.
>>4545093I'm begging him to make his next movie yuri too, he has a gift for it.Also lmao Roka is never getting over Eroha.
>>4545116This would be such a scumbag by Iroha after Kaguya's waited thousands of years for her that I can't help loving it a little.
I've noticed a lot of artist draw Kaguya going out while wearing the black t-shirt outfit even though the movie shows she likes to put on a bunch of different cute outfits when going out.
>>4545124It's insane, right? This could only make sense as a drunk fling, because Iroha is touch starved, but even then it's silly.Or this is a Roka wins AU.
>>4545129The truth is that nthe black shirt is easy to draw. That's pretty much it. Same reason so many people draw Yachiyo in the black shirt even though she wore it for like 5 minutes in the whole movie. Compared to her actual outfits it's just the easier method.Kaguya clearly is super fashion aware, especially because she if friends with Roka. The amount of outfits and looks boht Kaguya and Iroha go through across the movie is prettty nuts desu. This is not really normal, usually anime tries to stick to one or two iconic looks, but the masin trio has like 12 different looks each.
>>4545139Yachiyo gets drawn in the black shirt so much because she looks absurdly sexy.
>>4545142...sure. Then her KASSEN outfit would have the same amount of attention, but it doesn't. If anything casual shirt Yachiyo is just a big gap effect thing, not sexy. It also makes her look the most like Kaguya in a sense, though I much prefer "Reveal" Yachiyo with the straight Kaguya hair, but still wearing her usual outfit.
Speaking of the many outfits and looks of the main trio. Here is the final piece of this art series>>4541430>>4543257
>>4545154Kaguya's most underrated outfit might actually be her swimsuit design. It's pretty obvious why Iroha was powerless to resist this. This is ultra cute, but hardly anyone ever draws it. Just shows you how stacked this movie was with good designs.
>>4545184As and addendum, I just realized that during their OCEAN visit, Kaguya wears twintails for the only time in the movie... This movie is just too smart.
I take a short nap and sudenly my entire timeline if filled with IroRoka...
>>4545138I kinda like this comic which has Yachiyo sending Iroha to go drinking with Roka. She obviously doesn't want anything to happen between them but I think she feels obligated to give Iroha the chance.https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/chou
>>4545197There is certainly some very strong theming with the lack of physicality between Iroha and Yachiyo during those 10 long years. Yachiyo understanding that Iroha needs to physically destress is also relfecting on the fact that in high school Iroha used to exclusvely use Tsukuyomi and gaming as an escape.
>>4545147On top of looking sexy and the gap effect of wearing just a casual shirt, there's the gf power levels of wearing Iroha's shirt whenever she pleases...
What in tarnation is that? Peanut soda?!
"Yachiyo... please come find me..."
>>4545281But she actually does!
>>4545072I'm sure it's very wholesome for Iroha! for Roka... well...
just done watching I'm in tears from this kino killyourselves
>>4545300Time to watch the canon Epilogue to the movie and cry some more!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=356MRZ6P5h0
>>4545300We're living through the / golden era / prime / of yuri right now. Years from now newer fans will look back at this as "le og and le classic yuri." The quality and quantity keep going up and it's kind of wild to think about where it'll be in the future. I wish I could jump ahead just to see what the next wave of great yuri looks like.
>>4545303thx anon I'm crying again
>>4545303Speaking of the Ray MV, I freaking love the watercolor slides in the first half. Just look at the precious loving expression on Kaguya's face when she took care of Iroha!>>4545307Your journey to total tear duct destruction has only just begun if you are willing. Aside from rewatching the movie, which is highly recommended to see it from a completely new perspective, the official channel has lots of other music video for the movie aside from the Epilogue. Watching those with the lyrics will surely break you some more. Especially Ex-Otogibanashi's middle part which wasn't in the movie... or the Reply music video being even gayer than it already was.
Japan is calling Iroha an evil lesbian seducer slut
>>4545340It's really funny.
>>4545340Where is the lie?
When will be Mio-chan's turn? Complete the harem! You know you want to do it Yamashita!
>>4545390Mio-chan is still stuck at her cafe job
>>4545392Even 10 years later?! What, did she become the cafe owner? Her entire budget would be used up to buy new plates and to compensate customers then.
What does the button do?
>>4545382Iroha: "Roka"Roka: "Hm?"Iroha: "Close your eyes"Roka: "? Okay..."(smooch)Roka: (!?) Eh...?Mami: "Darn it Iroha, are you drunk~?"Kaguya: "Not fair! Do it with Kaguya too!"
>>4545297Hopefully she is too drunk to remember how she was teased by this lesbian succubus.
Iroha: "What happened back at the Yachiyo Cup was quite something, huh~?"Mami: "Geez, don't bring that up again..."Iroha: "I'm sorry, it was just so funny."Iroha: "After all have you ever seen someone faint like in a gag manga? I totally understand, it was because of the fanservice of your favorite. But isn't collapsing like that a bit over the top?"Yachiyo: "Iroha. Tonight... I can't hold back."Iroha: (bathump!)Yachiyo: "How adorable~"Mami: "Look who's talking! Aren't you showing quite the funny reaction yourself??"
This one is basically reframing it like Kaguya consciously hit the meteor with her ship to divert its path from hitting Tachikawa, where Iroha lives.
This last recorded message stuff always breaks me..
>>4545410
Kaguya...
>>4541427https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2040761379884298399The actual canon choreography of the Ray music video performed by real dancers is actually insane. So many interesting moves we didn't even get to see.
>>4545069>meanwhile Mami and Yaccho on the cuck chair
>>4544995
>>4545457My favorite interpretation of the scene is that the party happened sometime before Kaguya got her android body, Mami was also there as hinted by the third glass on the table but went home earlier, Yachiyo went into sleep mode and logged off and Roka eventually fell asleep drunk on Iroha's lap with the image being set at dawn.The rest is just my imagination going wild but I like to think that if both were drunk and things had started taking a spicy turn, they would've stopped once Iroha rolled up/took off her sleeve and they noticed Kaguya's bracelet. You can see she's wearing it under her clothes from the shadow.
Genius lesbillionaire succubus
>>4545477I haven't seen too many polls, but it seems somehow Iroha is the most popular among social media lesbians. Not Kaguya, not even Yachiyo (tho she is in second place), Iroha is somehow the one that most have the hots for.
>>4545470Mostly agree with the set up, though I think Iroha doesn't have any lewd intentions for Roka at all. She probably just messing around, but doesn't know Roka had feelings for her in the past, so she doesn't understand what she is doing to her.
I love this gif
>>4545502No matter where you stop, every frame is perfect.
>>4545470I think the Jellyfish plushie was the very first prototype of the bodies.
I don't understand. Is Iroha banging both kaguya and yachiyo? But yachiyo is kaguya. I thought at the end of the movie when iroha created the kaguya body it was so yachiyo could go inside it or something, but no? Who the hell is inside that kaguya body at the end lol? I'm so confused
>>4545563We should just put up a summary post at the start of each thread at this point...In essence Yachiyo is inside the Kaguyabot. She can make copies of herself, which has been explored several times across the movie, so the Tsukuyomi version is just a clone. Hope that helps.
>>4545564But why did kaguya say it's been 8k years since she last performed but 1 week for yachiyo? If yachiyo is in kaguyabot it wouldn't make sense for her to say that no?
>>4545564There's a lot that doesn't really fit with, though. Iroha says that it's been 8000 years since Kaguya last performed, but Yachiyo says that it's only been a week for her, which implies that that Kaguya doesn't have any experience of being Yachiyo. There'd also be no need to do things like take Yachiyo with them up the mountain.My best guess is that when Kaguya realized she had to become Yachiyo, Fushi made some kind of backup of her memories at that point, but if only that version of her gets the body, I don't see how that can be remotely fair for the one that becomes Yachiyo.
>>4545571nope. kaguya soul was still in space. time in space and time on earth pass differently. that's why for kaguya only 1 week had passed
>>4545570Yachiyo hasnt held a concert as Kaguya for 8000+ years. Yachiyo hold concerts regularly, so it was just a week since "Yachiyo" performed.I knew that some people were confused by that line. Take that anon who claimed everybody would get it!
>>4545571That entire first paragaph makes no sense. First see the explanation here >>4545582 Now, if Kaguya's experiences are 8000 years long, then naturally she is Yachiyo... As for the phone and taking Yachiyo around, there could be many reasons. Like needing to be connected to Tsukuyomi to keep up the Yachiyo clone now that Kaguya's soul left the ship. Or them trying to treat the Yachiyo clone as her own person for some reason. Either way, the base premise doesn't change. Yachiyo is inside the Kaguyabot. She has all her memories.
>>4545582Oh that makes a lot of sense. Thanks anon!
>>4545444The MV was obviously a great complementary piece to the story but I was disappointed that we only got to see a tiny bit of the actual concert and the choreography. Shame this is not animated but I'll have to let my imagination do the work.
The next morning...
>>4545613Reminds me of the fact that the World is Mine choreography actually includes Yachiyo imitating bunny ears with her hands during the part where she sings "Who do you think I am?" You can barely see it in the actual movie which is a shame, because that is just a triple slap to the face.
We need more adult dates for them
That pillow has inflamed the imagination of thousands.
Regardless of seduction and NTR scenarios, Roka is a good friend to both of them.
>>4545470I've seen people talk about the bracelet being hidden in the same way a wife hides her wedding ring when flirting with someone that isnt her spouse lol
I never thought about it, but yeah, Iroha and Fushi probably hang out a lot after the Yachiyo reveal. Fushi only ever kept its distance from Iroha and kaguya because it would cry otherwise, but now that they are back together, Fushi can finally be happy alongside them.
Why did they allow Iroha to make a jk sexbot?
>>4545870The JK version was just a prototype. She made an adult sexbot later.
They're making an audio drama for reaching 1680% funding.
>>4545875 YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesThis is exactly the kind of thing I wanted!! Now make them kiss and my life is fulfilled.
I just love all the song parodies fans make for this. Renai Saiban (Love Trial) really fits the current atmosphere.
>>4545866I think it'd be cute if Iroha made a robot dog for Fushi to use to interact irl. Unless Fushi prefers the slug body in the tank.
>>4545871She keeps the JK bots and under for private use, there's no way she trashed them.
>>4545880Why settle for animal bodies if Fushi is fully sapient?
>>4545884They could do that, though presumably Fushi could have a human avatar in Tsukuyomi too and yet chooses the slug avatar.
>>4545901Seems to me like Yachiyo is the one who created this version of Fushi in the virtual world so it was her choice. After all the actual real world Fushi wasn't any smarter than InuDOGE who clearly is barely a sentient program. The Fushi in Tsukuyomi is a mix of InuDOGE's code and Yachiyo's memories while Kaguya remote controlled the seaslug.
>>4545912Yeah Yachiyo created it, but I'm assuming Fushi could've asked Yachiyo to give it a human form in Tsukuyomi if it wanted one. I guess it doesn't need any particular type of avatar to get around in Tsukuyomi though, so it could still want a human shaped robot for real life.
>>4545916A talking dog would just be kind of creepy irl. Also this could be a way to have a "child" in the real world. After all InuDOGE was made from Kaguya's coding skill and Iroha's life force (money).
If people can write entire fanfics about Tetete the elf streamer, then I want a dedicated yuri fanfic about this random goat girl. Her design is actually soooo good!It's something to note in general, this movie has no faceless crowds. Every single crowd character is immaculately designed and actually properly reacting in the background scenes. Some of these designs are so good they could totally be part of the side-cast.
>>4545804Scenario where Yachiyo uses Tsukuyomi to get Roka an insanely high spec girlfriend so she stops being a threat.
>>4546031I doubt Yachiyo views Roka as a threat in any way. But there are Roka fanfics where she gets a girlfriend.
Based on the water color slides in the Ray MV.
I kinda love the yandere Yachiyo reactions to the IroRoka official art. It's like someone actually took a photo and Yaccho is now on the war path.
>>4546048The main threat would be her having a body. I realize we're in chaste anime romance land, but it's a pretty big ask to hope that a 17-year-old not have sex with anyone for at least a decade.
>>4546054Aside from the fact that some people just have a lower sex drive and can get by with masturbating... There are plenty of scenarios in which these two can have sexual experiences together, especially with their access to tech and VR. Like come on, is it even a stretch that Yachiyo can remote control a vibrator while they make out in Tsukuyomi?
>>4545875 I'm up for any new content for sure, but there is certainly a hierachy of what kind of scenario is best. If it's just a general group thing, then it's mid. If it involves Black onyX that makes it pretty disappointing. If it's a SoL scenario for IroKagu that would be really neat. If it's some kind of date or romantic scenario where they just happen to run into other characters, that would be really nice.Then there is the question of whether it will be pre or post time skip. I personally want more of their married life post epilogue. But looking at all the shorts they posted, I assume it will be pre time-skip. Maybe it will be a stream recreation. That way they can also integrate Yachiyo.
>>4546090People really can't get over that one low res Yachiyo loli in that one background shot lol
>>4546121Stalking the girls you ship? This really is Vtubing!
wife mode
Yaccho wont let her live it down.
>>4546172Ever
>>4541427Someone said that Iroha being a fox could be a reference to Tamamizu-no-Mae, the tale of a fox who fell in love with a princess and transformed into a human girl to get close to her. A work that in modern context is often interpreted as very yuri-leaning, although never quite getting there for various reasons. While mixing Tamamizu with the Kaguyahime myth is an interesting idea, I feel like this is a superficial reference at best. If you read the tale it doesn't have too much overlap.Still for anyone interested, here is a summary and analyses of Tamamizu's tale.https://japanvibeshub.com/a-fox-a-princess-and-a-secret-love-reading-tamamizu-monogatari/
>>4546054It's entirely possible she's performed something with the hypothetical test bodies before achieving the final product.
>>4546207Even making the first prototype probably took at least several years. After all the Kaguyabot that isn't even the final one was only made 10+ years after Iroha decides her new path in life. We know there was a Yachiyo type body before that, but it was probably not that long before this one.
>>4546055I really need a doujinshi of Yachiyo giving Iroha an asmr guided masturbation.
>>4546254maybe that will be the new voice drama they are making right now (completely delusional)
I love the increasingly insane fan canons about Yachiyo abusing her Tsukuyomi admin position to benefit Iroha:-She created the Fuju currency which you can use in real life as Fuju Pay specifically to benefit Iroha who is always broke (this is basically canon though)-She made certain Iroha would win the handshake event ticket on the day Kaguya comes to Tsukuyomi with her (this could not have been a coincidence)-Whenever a "tutorial" version of her appears, it's the real Yachiyo giving her much better advice than normal (this is why Iroha became near pro gamer level so quick)-She specifically created the counseling/consultation app for Iroha's sake and all of Iroha's private chats are answered by the real Yachiyo (this is also probably canon)-The only reason she made the Yachiyo Cup is to get Iroha into the limelight and let her have fun alongside Kaguya, giving them an incentive to grow close and work together-Whenever anybody would harrass Iroha in the game they mysteriously end up banned before she can actually be bothered-Whenever there is a promotional lottery or rewards program, for some odd reason Iroha keeps winning top prizes-Whenever there is a survey on how to improve Tsukuyomi, Iroha's suggestion are universally always implemented-For some reason there were promotional campaigns for discounts on Smart Contacts at very specific times only in the Tachikawa area
Thanks to whoever made that rentry in OP. Was very useful
>>4546292Artist calls this the Happy Bad Ending
>>4546319Kaguya makes good money as an entertainer! She's the one who got Iroha and herself the nice apartment!
>>4546323If she didn't have a sudden case of graduation, Kaguya could have financed Iroha's entire path in life.
>>4546260>all of Iroha's private chats are answered by the real Yachiyo (this is also probably canon)I assumed she did all the chats with everyone herself.
>>4546404Highly unlikely. I would assume even her cloning has a limit and this kind of app would be used by tens of thousands of people.

https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2041698941146951693Back up to 5th place from 10th after some new releases fell off.
>>4546546It's been out for 4+ months and is available easier and cheaper on Netflix. It really shouldn't be this high every week. Makes you wonder if there are just no good movies airing in Japan or if CPK is this resilient.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2041441140289990939The new pre-movie introduction skit is Iroha x Yachiyo this week. Iroha spilling her full legal name from freaking out is great. I need the full versions of these.

>>4546710Did you run out of pixels or something?
>>4546715Attempts to lighten heavy images aren't kind to tal images like that one.
>>4546718Then resize it instead of lowering its pixel count to 90s JRPG levels.
>>4546723DOES this story count as Poly relationship?Kaguya and Yachiyo are the same person but diffferent bodies and Iroha love bothLike Renako?
>>4546750No, in canon there is only one Kaguya at the end. One body. But fan artists love to pretend that Kaguya and Yachiyo are two different people.
