>>282857559You know, it's that cute appeal looking directly at the viewer.I don't know why it looks out of place in a show like AiPri, not that I'm complaining.
>>282857693Maybe it's because for once they're looking at us as a people instead of the inner depths ofour soul. No wonder I want to be violented by them now.

>>282866324Mii's brief stint as a NAKAYOSHI harem MC at the start of the season feels really funny in retrospect now that she's back to barely caring about non-Himari characters.
>>282867674I still don't get why she did that when she got extremely mad at Himari for doing it with Tsumugi in S1.Did she get less possessive, or is it because it was Tsumugi specifically?
>>282867737She was confident her win was secured after the events of S1.
>>282867737Momentary weakness for a sexy gyaru, that's why Elle found Mii to be such a relatable senpai.But in all seriousness, neither option seems quite right still, given that her possessiveness is still a reoccurring character trait. Honestly, I'm still not really sold on any particular interpretation of the early S2 Mii behavior, it seems to me that it was somewhat OOC. I'd lean towards it being for more meta reasons, as both a way to establish the existence of the "secret charm" for new viewers, and to show Mii doing expected MC type things for new viewers to get acquainted with (before showing her weird side 10 episodes later and afterwards start leaning more heavily into that characterization once again).
>>282868179>as a star aipri she feels she needs to be more proactive in being a senpai >goes out of her way to connect to her kouhai >ties in to her arc of feeling uncomfortable with the perceived expectations she placed on herself that’s what i think
>>282868458>>as a star aipri she feels she needs to be more proactive in being a senpai >>goes out of her way to connect to her kouhaiI like this as it ties into the fact Juria and Elle are a mirror of Himari and Mitsuki, basically it was Mii way of encouraging the next generation's retard.
>>282868542yeah that’s a good point too. we know that the comparison is intended so having Mii show her secret charm to her kouhais is really cute.
>>282868458Eh, I'm not sure that's portrayed super well in show but that at least fits from a characterization perspective. Really, I'm fine with a little roughness with how Mii was handled in the JurieL arc since everything else with Juria/Elle was pure gold in it.
>>282868760i immediately assumed that Mitsuki has a knife there
>>282868868
Another failed scheme by the big red dork to win over Mii.

>>282879868Cool rockcatpoyo.
Hello ainons, I hope you are doing well. The scanning of the AiPri artbook is finished; I have the images and they look good. I will dump most of it here, except the least interesting pages, the images will be compressed to fit below the 4MB file size limit, but I'll upload the original full size images to ehentai later. The first page is a zoomed out version of the cover illustration.
>>282880054Let's start chapter 1 by looking at our cute depressed retard and her girlfriend
>>282880054Ohh, super cool that it's done already. Preemptive thank you!
>>282880083Uhhhh it says that her favorite food is salmon sushi I think, and her color is officially called 'milky pink'. Also notice the signature with the cute Mugi; I like how the 'Ri' in the signature extends to form a hearth.
>>282880142All of her coords and clothes through S1. I wonder why they choose to make the bunny pajamas design have the biggest image of them all... and I realize I am retarded like her because I've just noticed that there has always been a bunny theme going on with Himari: 2 coords + Pijamas + PriUsa as her plushie. There's also something very appealing about her AiPri verse form in sports clothes.
>>282880142>her favorite food is salmon sushiThat’s correct.
>>282880173Ohami Tellmi Welcomi! So she likes curry rice and her color is named 'milky blue'. I find it cool they chose to have her signature written in english, it is a simple yet elegant signature.
>>282880201kek they chose to spotlight Mii's cat outfit>>282880105No problem, ainons smile is worth it>>282880181I would have thought it was the big burger based on the anime, but you never know
>>282880234Very fitting that an AI would not have a bloodtype, yet she likes banana, and her color is, of course, 'milky yellow'. And don't miss how the 'Tsu' in her signature is a petal of the flower, clever. Too many kanji on the phrase on the right so idk what it says.
>>282880259A missed opportunity to include her many clothes from the fashionable witches episode, though at least there's the tracksuit she used when she hated fashion.
>>282880234It’s mentioned offhand in S1 & S2, plus it was listed in her original character bio from before the show aired.
>>282880259>yet she likes bananathe perfect fruit...
>>282880284Now the red dork, she likes pudding I think? And her color is 'ruby red'. Also, is that her full name on the signature? That gives it a very professional air, fitting for the leader of Quartet Star, and it seems a butterfly is the symbol for Sakura, given it is on her signature, her hair, an on her aimu.
>>282880306Not many clothes, but the evil dark dork is here. Also notice that the absence of halloween clothes is because she was locked up in her goon cave that entire episode lmao.
>>282880334She likes shortcake it seems, and her color is 'royal blue'
>>282880306>highlights the Non! coord
>>282880353Her clothes and coords. It is not immediately apparent in the scans, but in the irl book it is instantly obvious that the image of her halloween outfit is a smaller image magnified beyond 100%, just zoom in and look at the outline and compare it to the outline of the other big outfit images from the other characters and you will see what I'm talking about. As I said, it truly is instantly obvious when seeing it in person, so keep it in mind if you are planning to buy the book.
>>282880373lmao at her signature, instead of her name, it literally says 'thank you for your patronage' greedy green always has her eyes on the sale. And what the hell is her favorite food? uuuhh some kind of gummies and those octopus balls (i forgto the name) the student council cooks every now and then? Dunno, I'm lost on this one. And her color is 'Fresh green'
>>282880390Gaze upon the many forms of greed. Her witch outfit is simlarly magnified beyond 100% like with Tamaki.
>>282880413The Bear likes hamburguer, and her color is 'vivid orange', I wonder why the color names for Quartet Star are more imaginative than for secret friends
>>282880390Gummies and takoyaki. Definitely a combo of all time. >picture of the 100% LOVE sceneThis pleases Rinrin.
>>282880429The witch outfit, again, is magnified beyond 100%.
>>282880449Chii likes ramen, 'pastel purple' is her color. I had to stare at her signature for a while to realize that it says 'No 1' at the top, and then the rest kind of just looks like some crappy squiggles... kind of fitting for Chii to completely screw up while trying to say she is number one. Notice that all of her coords are also included in this page: literally just one lmao I had not noticed how coord neglected she was in S1.
>>282880463Her clothes and her much cooler dark counterpart
>>282880480The content of this one is just too evil so I'm going to spoil it, look at it under your own risk
>>282880463Hey, give her some credit, that music note face in her signature is adorable!
>>282880498The VILLIANS of AiPri.
>>282880498The judges. Also, those aimu and fairies on the left... does it say that they are also judges in the game?
>>282880498>tubers, evil witches, and mermaidMeganee all on one pageYeesh, that is the villain page
>>282880498
>>282880512Huh, so the gardener's name was already revealed before that episode like a week a go, though I have no idea if his description reveals something important.>>282880501Yeah that's a very cute detail at least
>>282880512Correct, they're some of the judges you can get.
>>282880538It's time to pick your sidle wife ainon!

>>282880585Chii's dead sister. And who wants to bet that the frog will still be relevant to the story and wasn't just a red herring in the mystery of Tsumugi's identity?
>>282880605Cute secret friends
>>282880585>It seems that Himari is the only one to inherit the retard geneReminder that Hinata was the singular person in the entire cast to not know that Himari was the AiPri Himari, he's just as dumb as his retarded sister.
>>282880633Uhh lots of text
>>282880656And quartet star
>>282880567Everyone's favorite smelly chronic masturbator!
>>282880672Let us know if it says something interesting
>>282880656Describes the formation of Secret Friends and the two different old people groups. Interestingly enough, Director says he has a song written for Trio the Roller: Nowadays Roller Boogie Woogie.

>>282880885
>>282880905
>>282880923I like the tiny sketch of Himari making a fool of herself in the first episode
>>282880943
>>282880943>Because the AiPriVerse is a scifi space, I wanted to create a space to act as a counterpoint to that, so the school is rich in nature and has lots of trees.
>>282880968>>282880896>Mitsuki's S2 song being aquatic themedwait what? you mean the woah woah woah woah happy happy song?
>>282880988
>>282881006They included sakura's gooncave lmao
>>282880988Yeah, Wow x4! The beach visuals perfectly fit summer, and apparently Mii as well.
>>282881021The uplcose designs of the AiPri braces, and a very cute and tiny Himari sketch on the bottom
>>282881021Someone sure worked hard to make it look like the room of an authentic idol fan
>>282881038
>>282881021>Director was a little hesitant to create such a setting
>>282881021>used director-san's work desk with all is idol memorabilia on it as a reference for making Sakura's roomThe director is ainon.
>>282881065Look at all the cute Himari sketches here.>>282881034huh I'll have to watch the debut of that song again to check, I always associated it with a space rather than an aquatic theme because she sung it it when she achieved space buzzlume
>>282881100
>>282881123Here's a tiny Himari enjoying a cake.
>>282881141While not her favorite food, the dork still loves takoyaki
>>282881123>the tiny moons on Sakura's penlights
>>282881173Allright ainon, it is time to buy one of the green's products. Choose wisely
>>282881201I can only think of the silly biribiri Bear noises from the Switch game.
>>282881201>capable of intercontinental aquatic travelGotta go with the Samba.
>>282881201Mii's ruined drawing from her childhood
>>282881237Uhhhh is it just me or does Sarashina literally look like a yugioh villain here? lmao
>>282881237>when Mitsuki sees Himari's smile, both then and now, all her anger disappearsBetter go hide these drawings, freakin psycho Mii.
>>282881263Evil PriUsa>>282881235Oh you played that one? I should try emulating it with ryujinx one of these days
>>282881293>Priusa-hime ate the poisonous carrots. She collapsed on the floor and never got up again. The seven Aimu all cried. And yeah, it's perfectly emulatable! It's really cool seeing the song performances in such high definition with no bitrate issues. It never got any DLC though sadly, so you're stuck with stuff like the half version of Gira Gira Star and Chii can't do buzzlumes.
>>282881293
>>282881354The art of the stinky gremlin
>>282881373The dork and the scary one welcome you to chapter 3
>>282881354Tsumugi's frog prince will come one day
>>282881396We have already seen proto-Himari and proto-Mitsuki, but what about the alternate uniforms? I wish we had gotten the one at the very bottom with the black skirt, the contrast looks very good.>>282881349>Chii can't do buzzlumeskek but wasn't she able to buzzlume in the arcade game long before her anime buzzlume debut? strange they wouldn't also let her do it in the switch game
>>282881354>Candy>Chocolate>PuddingI still choose to believe it's a Chompy Cuties reference.
>>282881427Which alternate Mugi do you prefer? some hairstyles make her look so mature. And alternate colors for her princess form too, she could have been a green, how does that make you feel?
>>282881141>the director inserted the gigaburger to see how much freedom he'd have while working on AiPrithe LORE of the burg
>>282881449Chii could have been a cute tomboy instead
>>282881449>Mugi VERDEExplains why ainon likes Mugi so much. I definitely like our actual Mugi with the straight hair the best.
>>282881469Alternate quartet star and colors for the dork. Alternate Airi looks strangely alluring
>>282881452>hmm yes they let me put a gigaburger in the show>time to create a warm kind story about menhera dykes No idea how that logic checks out, but hey.
>>282881493That alternate Tamaki kinda looks like proto-Mii, no wonder they changed them both
>>282881510I kinda super dig short haired Tamaki there.
>>282881510Height comparison time! Some threads ago there was discussion about heights in AiPri not being as disparate as in PriPara. Here is the proof I guess.
>>282881529More heights. Yuma is shorter than Hiiro lol>>282881497Hey, if they allow him to include such an un-japanese food they might just allow it all
>>282881554Character design sheets now. Pouting Himari is so cute.
>>282881578The many faces of retardation
>>282881602The chibis too
>>282881578>Pouting Himari is so cute.Mii said
>>282881619Is that the Hi Mi Tsu pose in the middle at the bottom?
>>282881642Child Mii is so cute, I can see why Wanko couldn't control herself
>>282881657kind of unusual to see Mugi with an expression other than a blank face
>>282881602>they were asked to make Himari have cute expressions since "the Directors come up with old man ideas"(?)>the slime drawings were a rough sketch but they were approved as it. it's scary to think that anything he drew could be approved, so it really made him start paying attention
>>282881677I was typing the captcha on the comment field lmao dumping pages for over an hour is starting to get to me
>>282881707
>>282881728
>>282881740>it's scary to think that anything he drew could be approved, so it really made him start paying attentionlol that seems to be a common occurrence on the anime industry, it was the same case for the ugly-cute mascot from heartcatch precure
>>282881762Chii may have no coords like the rest, but at least she does get chibis unlike them. Also, what's that SD thing that many of these character design sheet pages talk about?
>>282881791
>>282881762Coupe was like that? Hilarious, I can totally see that. Also look at that absolutely adorable grumpy bear face, I love it so much.>>282881791SD = super deformed = chibi
>>282881813
>>282881791Super Deformed, another name for chibis. The character designer mention in their interview that only Himari and Chii have unique chibi design and all the others are based on them.
>>282881831
>>282881854Look at these alternate designs: Hiiro looks so mature in all of them, it makes me wish that she had more presence in the anime like Non in PriPara.
>>282881869I love this one: the image board with a bunch of elaborate illustrations of Himari. Look at that Mugi imitating her pose, if only her expresion could change like that in the anime.
>>282881890More storyboards
>>282881919
>>282881890>Mugi-chan was initially going to be lively and activeActually really interesting, that's a pretty big difference
>>282881944
>>282881919Wait, the storyboards for the buzzlumes were done by Hishida?
>>282881967
>>282881984
>>282881978Yes, Him, Otobe, and other Pretty Series regular staff were heavily involved in S1. You can find their names all over the episode credits.
>>282881999Look at these cute business partners. The last chapter is pretty short so we are almost done.
>>282882001I never realized he specifically made the buzzlume sequence, that's super cool.
>>282882016
>>282881890I want literally all of this page translated.
>>282882036
>>282882021Absolutely, the episode credits for him just say storyboards or CG direction so it's neat to learn what specifically it was.

>>282882092Nebagibaraba!
>>282882092
>>282882108There's an episode guide with important events marked, like the various grand prix, and character and team debuts, it could be useful if you want to rewatch something in specific.
>>282882132
>>282882108>Gira Gira Star was one of the first songs created early on, since it was decided that Chii would be the trigger of the end of the storyThat was talked about in an interview before, but cool to see it reiterated
>>282882132>Mii vs. Mugi is specifically listed as an important event on par with stuff like the formation of Quartet Dorks or Chii buzzlumeThat's so funny man
>>282882153And that's it for the book. It also came with this AiPri card but umm isn't it kinda shit? lmao, it is just the book cover with some sparkling circles over it, are all AiPri cards like this? If they are, jap little girls have it rough, I expected it to be more elaborate like rare yugioh cards, for example the eyes, jewelry, and buzzlume effects could be printed with a shinier material so that there is some cool contrast and highligths, but no, they just splattered those circles over it and called it a day, idk if there are higher quality AiPri cards like that, but you'd expect the card that comes with the artbook to be of the highest quality. Still, it is a nice extra to have
>>282882307It's a common, foiling and other effects are for the rares.
YUME HA MIRU MONO JYANAI KANAERU MONO DAYO
>>282882307You're looking for something more like the signature or rare cards, they have the fancy contrast you're looking for. Generally, the event cards aren't the super high quality ones (maybe to dissuade scalping?) but you're right that it seems a bit weird to do it like that.Again, thanks for the scans and dump ainon! You rock.

When are they going to use this?>>282882719I would say that was the best answer easily but his redemption came after he left being an antagonist. I will have to go with Kintarou.
>>282883086>When are they going to use this?When the depressed retard kills Ring-hime
>>282883086That's definitely the face of a retard who just saw both Mii and Mugi leave her for Ring-hime.
>>282883118>>282883120
>>282883222ainons have similar thoughts about the direction of the warm and kind story
>>282881890I can totally see Tatsunoko looking at this and thinking "We can try to animate it", and the entire quality exploding lol.That said, this concept is so annoyingly adorable I'm not daydreaming Himari moving around like this casually.
The artbook is up: https://e-hentai.org/g/3575763/daf9df9426/ I messed up at first and uploaded it with MASSIVE file sizes compared to any other artbook and with annoying file names, so I converted the images to webp, renamed them, and updated the gallery; don't worry, there is no difference in quality between the original scans and the ehentai uploads. Let's hope the mods don't revert it for some reason.

https://mantan-web.jp/article/20251008dog00m200065000c.htmlInterview with the Aikatsu x Pripara director. Bad TL 1/>Director Okawa has worked on Aikatsu Stars!, Aikatsu Friends!, Aikatsu on Parade!, Aikatsu Planet!, and Kiratto PriChan>Okawa: I enter the anime industry around the time of the first generation of Aikatsu!. I wasn't involved with the show at the time, but I loved watching it. I'd been watching Pretty Series since around Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live, which came before PriPara, and I've been a fan ever since. However, since it was over ten years ago, I had naturally forgotten some details about the shows, so I rewatched them. >Aikatsu! × PriPara"is an anime that makes you understand how much it was produced by staff who were fans themselves. It touches on all the right notes for the fans. The unique charms of both shows has condensed into a theatrical film. What do you think is the attraction to each show?>Okawa: Aikatsu! is its positivity and dedication. Everyone genuinely aspires to be an idol, works hard, and encounters practical problems, yet they keep moving forward without getting discouraged. Watching it, that's what stuck with me. Where the appeal of Aikatsu! is the characters' strength of unity, then the appeal of PriPara is their strength of individuality. PriPara encourages everyone to express their individuality to become the person they want to be, and the story moves forward naturally while they share their opinions without stifling one another's uniqueness. Looking back on it now, it seems to depict diversity.>Aikatsu! was produced by Bandai Namco Pictures, while PriPara was produced by Tatsunoko Productions. Although they share the common theme of idol anime, the character designs differ depending on the production company. However, for some reason, Aikatsu! x PriPara coexist without any sense of incongruity.
>>282885820Bad TL 2/>Okawa: I felt strongly that the character designs should evoke nostalgia from that era, so I didn't want to change them. We are using the original settings material as they were at the time. I realised it might actually work quite well when I laid them side by side. The proportions, such as their face size, differ slightly, and they are not strictly defined by settings so they were adjusted according to the scene. We asked Masumi Otsuka from Aikatsu! to handle the color design, and we made the colors of PriPara match to those of Aikatsu!. I thought PriPara had a more vivid impression and that the two were completely different, but when I put them side by side, there's no sense of incongruity. So it was just minor fine tuned adjustments. It's rather strange, isn't it?>Despite being produced by different companies, there's a strange sense of unity, as if they somehow resonated with each other without realising it.>Okawa: The Akari Generation from Aikatsu! naturally accepts the individuality of PriPara in some respects, you see. The Scriptwriter Rikei Tsuchiya mentioned that having the characters from Aikatsu! helped make everything come together nicely. If we had only used the PriPara characters, I don't think we could have created a natural flow where they all unite within this timeframe. Rather than suppressing the personalities of both shows' characters and blending them together, PriPara's advance the story as they normally would. The scripting was very smooth, and I found it rather surprised while working on it myself. It's built on the perfect balance. While the approaches of Aikatsu! and PriPara may differ, they share the desire to entertain everyone through live performances one and the same. Since they both point in the same direction, that's where they're able to brought together as one.
>>282885844Bad TL 3/>It may be a miracle collaboration, but it also appears as though the puzzle pieces have been fitted together beautifully. Though there are many characters, each one has their own moment to shine.>Okawa: Handling this many characters within this timeframe is inherently difficult, and I did feel apprehensive before writing the storyboards. Once I actually started writing, I could picture the characters' lines and actions, and I thought, "this is going to work!". While I was rewatching the anime and sketching storyboards, the ideas I wanted to include kept piling up, so I just squeezed them in wherever I could find space. After considering the balance of each character, we ended up with more large-scale scenes, which unfortunately increased the animation workload...>When it comes to Aikatsu! and PriPara, the live scenes are also a major highlight. Otobe of Tatsunoko Production, known for Pretty Series, serves as CG director.>Okawa: We entrusted the CG work to them, but at the time, we received models and motion data from the original team responsible for the CG in Aikatsu!, and so Tatsunoko Production made adjustments to them. Regarding the character models, adjustments have been made to each model to ensure that characters from both works blend seamlessly while on the same stage together. With so many characters, it's something quite amazing. The direction made use of the existing camera work for the established songs, though there are also changes. This was my first time working with Otobe-san, but he's truly remarkable. When I asked "wouldn't this be rather difficult?" he replied "No I think we can manage it." and they went ahead with it.
>>282885866Bad TL 4/END>The live scenes are said to have numerous surprises in store.>Okawa: Some live performances defy all expectations from the pre-release teasers. Nothing is simply reused. It's all new works.>The collaboration between Aikatsu! and PriPara is packed with surprises and excitement.>Okawa: Fans of each have their own feelings, and we aimed to create a work that would allow them to revisit their feelings from way back then and enjoy it. We also portray the audience as fans, and we hope you'll enjoy becoming one with the characters and enjoy the excitement of the live performances together. >Okawa: My sole aim is to bring joy to all of the fans. We hope you enjoy this heartfelt miracle collaboration.
>>282885892Thanks for the TL. Characterizing the difference between the two shows as Unity vs. Individuality is an interesting perspective to come from someone so involved with the creative side of things.
>>282885696Don't suggest the impossible!
>>282885696Actually, she should masturbate as much she can right now. Once she gets older, it won't feel the same anymore.

>>282887724It must get boring waiting around while everyone else is asleep (or would be asleep if they weren't a weirdo doggie that likes to walk through the woods at night). Can picture Moogs getting into all kinds of wacky shenanigans while she's waiting for everyone to wake up.
>>282888250Moogs also watches what good friends do every night
>>282888532Mii likely forcefully kidnaps Mugi and hands her off to Chii on those nights, making sure to tell Himari how totally excited Mugi was to go have a sleepover with Chii. Meanwhile, Chii grumbles about how often she has to babysit Moogs (her himitsu is that she really enjoys it and looks forward to it).

>>282895016I love when Mii’s errant side hair strand is portrayed like an ahoge. Super kawaii picture.
>>282895156Bunnies need wide hips to reproduce a lot ~pyon
>>282895202Mii's main dilemma is that it doesn't matter what she does, Himari is just genetically superior hidden down there.
>>282895202All those gigaburgs aren’t the most helpful food for maintaining a slim idle physique.
>>282895347Main dilemma? I reckon she thinks of it more as an investment paying off.
>>282895554More or less. In retrospect, I believe Mii is more attracted by Himari's cuteness than her womanly appearence per see.Himari though. I can just remember her saying Mii is fucking hot for half of S1 lol.
Mugi has this lap all for herself.
>>282895999snacks!
>>282895732Both are fair, Himari's usual is "Mitsuki-chan is so pretty!" while Mii's usual is "Himari-chan is so cute!"
dont open
>>282896071And Tsumugi-chan is both!
>>282896182You don’t get that much commenting on Mugi’s attractiveness, which is kind of strange considering she has a very stereotypical Japanese Beauty design. I guess Mii monopolizes all of that type of attention.
>>282896629well, little girls supposedly are crazy about her princess design
>>282896866Oh definitely, I meant more from an in-universe perspective. Both ainon and the little friends love Mugi!
>>282896925oh i seei think i remember himari and also classmates calling princess mugi pretty when performingalso a few "kawaii" at the fashionable witches episode i'm pretty sure
Kanon!
>>282897070Yeah she has some appreciation, like Chaimu's enthusiastic endorsement that Tsumugi is chamuchamu kawaii, but it's not a constant praise like Mii gets. Maybe if chamuchamu had a bigger presence in the show we'd get some more emphatic Mugi love!
Does anyone have that picture of Mugi in Chii's outfit

>>282905881ZOOKS WATCH OUT
>>282902263Writer interview. The format's a mess so some questions might be out of place.Bad TL 1/>It seems that Mitsuki is the central character of the second year Ring arc. >Ichikawa: The dual protagonist system centered around Himari and Mitsuki remains unchanged, but from the start both directors told me "this season, we're going to put the spotlight more on Mitsuki." Since that was the case, I intiuitively felt that it would bring something fresh and new to the table. However compare to Himari, Mitsuki is the type to overthink things because she's more serious. So I didn't want the story to get too serious and I wanted it to continue the same fun atmosphere of the first year. The narration was handled by Himari in the first year but now Mitsuki is inchage for the second year. Her narration is given a diary-like feel, and I thought that her diary could serce as the hook that'd lead to the finale of the Ring arc.>In the Ring arc, Tsumugi appears as the stuffed animal named Mugi-chan and becomes more involved in Himari and her friends' school life. >Ichikawa: Thanks to this setting, it had more flexibility with what we could do, didn't it? It's also a really nice way for the characters to meet Tsumugi without having to go through the whole process of going into AiPriVerse. Being able to talk with your cute stuffed animal is like a dream come true, isn't it? >Tsumugi, now Mugi-chan, is surprisingly talkative (laughs).>Ichikawa: She sure does talk a lot now, right? (laughs) More importantly, she sometimes says things that are surprisingly poignant, and so Himari and the others learn from her. However, I carefully make sure she doesn't speak too fluently otherwise she'd lose her unique staccato way of speaking that makes Tsumugi who she is.>I'd like to ask about the new AiPris from the Ring arc. First is Juria who achieved the jewel buzzlume change but was still an amateur at performing.
>>282906114Bad TL 2/>Ichikawa: The buzzlume changes of the 2nd year are each centered around different themes that evoke feelings in your heart and the jewel buzzlume change is themed around heart fluttering excitement. When I first learned about the characters, Director Fujisaki told me the were like Himari and Mitsuki if they had met later in life. As a result, I focused on developing a unique story specific to Juria and Elle, one that Himari and Mitsuki didn't have. To put it simply, Mitsuki is like an older sister and Himari is like her younger one, whereas Juria and Elle are equals with different attitudes. >At first, Elle was very offput by Juria, but it turned out they were connected to each other before they were aware of each other's existence. >Ichikawa: In fact, Juria cherished the song Elle had written for her anonymously, and Juria was the model for the character in Elle's novel. It was like realizing later that they were both already in love with each other, in a way that makes sense to both their different perspectives. >Juria is clearly a very modern girl, but even though Elle is a bookworm, she's not old fashioned, right?>Ichikawa: That's right. Her style of writing novels is very modern, with posting them on popular online social media platforms. Despite being the complete opposites in personalities, they're two cutting edge people that click and get along well. I hope that's something that comes across as interesting.>Next, Otome and Subaru.>Ichikawa: The theme of their drama is about the two of them "leaving the nest". Subaru's growing independence from his big sister leads Oto-chan to acknowledge that her cute little brother has finally become a proper young man. Himari and Mitsuki also have older brothers, but they are more like good people to confide with, so Subaru and Otome are a different kind of older sister and brother who have a different set of real worries appropriate for their age.
>>282906143Bad TL 3/>They're siblings, yet they're also AiPri partners. This dynamic really comes through with their duo.>Ichikawa: Originally, Oto-chan was the producer, so there was a clear hierachy to their relationship, but then in another sense Subaru has surpassed his older sister. Oto-chan also wanted to try performing herself, which is what led them to ultimately forming a duo. After going through such a dramatic journey, the two sing Kokoro Astronauts. It's such an upbeat catchy tune that gives you the feeling of bouncing around in space, right? I feel like the way the older sister sings seperately putting her brother first reflects their new relationship. I feel like the song, while expressing the kindness of his sister, urges Subaru to live up to her expectations. >Subaru and Otome's names are derived from astronomy, and in episode 66 there's a scene where the two of them look up at the night sky when they were young.>Ichikawa: From the start, the two characters were designed to perform the space buzzlume change in the arcade game. The central theme of admiration served as the main axis, the idea being that they'd ride a rocket towards the starry sky they both admired. >The 3rd pair, Chii and Vivi, have a junior-senior and master-apprentice relationship, right? >Ichikawa: Since the Ring arc focuses on duos, after considering what other forms of duo relationships might be possible, this was what we came up with. After going through hell in the 1st year, Chii became the master. However, her student happens to be a genius. What kind of drama could unfold from that? The setting that Vivi adores Chii was established by the game, and the anime dives deeper into that aspect. Since their buzzlume change was also decided as the animal buzzlume change, I thought "well it's wildness right? So the theme should be confidence and being true to yourself" and fleshed it out from there.
>>282906180 Bad TL 4/>Like Himari, Vivi is a genius who successfully performed the buzzlume change on her first live. >Ichikawa: While discussing how to portray Vivi's genius with the directors, we decided that an homage to Himari's first live from S1 would be perfect. However we made Vivi hesitant to perform so she would have to be forced into it and then aimed for the impact of "a new genius like Himari has appeared!", it's a story crafted precisely to give the feeling of introducing a new protagonist. >Alongside the AiPri Contest, Mitsuki's issues surrounding studying abroad continue. The story also focuses on Himari's earnest devotion to Mitsuki, like with her birthday.>Ichikawa: Himari is also trying her best to be responsible in her own way. That said, I wanted to depict the growth of their relationship in the second year, and given the relationship between the two characters with how I want to portray them in the conclusion of the Ring arc, the intention is to show them gradually changing as they get closer to that point. >In Mitsuki's birthday episode, as she watches over the busy Himari, Mitsuki seems to have a the perspective of being like her mother. (TL note: post your CCA memes here)>Ichikawa: She was going to figure out about the surprise party for Mitsuki's birthday eventually, but there's no way Mitsuki wouldn't notice Himari's plan right? (laughs) However I decided to make it a story with a big twist at the end that'd move Mitsuki to tears. So I started wondering what might move Mitsuki.... and realized that right now their relationship feels almost like a parent and child. Komori Saji, who was in charge of writing this episode, came up with various ideas like a handmade photo album, and so we ended up doing the letter reading. "I didn't think you still had this surprise left" Mitsuki says with tears streaming down her face.
>>282906216Bad TL 5/>Ichikawa: After all, what truly moves a mother more than a heartfelt letter from her child? That dynamic between parental love and childish affection, how it will develop going forward is what makes this season worth watching. Additionally, regarding Tsumugi who makes contact with Ring Hime in episode 78. Please stay tuned to see how these two build their relationship from here.>The new key visual for the Ring arc (pictured) also captures a pair between Ring Hime and Princess form Tsumugi.>Ichikawa: It's like two top-tier players shining in gold while the two of us are struggling along in normal gear (laughs). Ring Hime and Tsumugi are a special pair after all. >Ichikawa: Curious about Ring Hime's existence, Tsumugi goes to meet her directly. She's like a little girl going up to someone and saying "let's play!" (laughs). I think Tsumugi is the only one who can interact with Ring Hime on equal terms like that. I wonder if there's something that draws them to each other, as both are special beings from the same world. >Ichikawa: The return of Quartet Star during summer vaction had no particular connection to the game itself. We all love Sakura and the rest so much that we were like "let's just make it so they come back for summer vaction!" (laughs). Since there are juniors in the AIPri clube too, they give off more of a teacher-like vibe, like seniors showing the way for the first years. Moreover, after undergoing rigorous training to buld strength, it's like "the legendary star AiPri are back!"...though they're coming back riding a samba across the sea (laughs).
>>282906251Bad TL 6/END>Ichikawa: vivi felt inferior because she didn't have an AiPri Bracelet. Even when Chii couldn't win, her refusal to give and keep performing moves Vivi because of her own lack of self-confidence. Meanwhile, Chii's confidence is shaken after seeing Vivi's first live. The two comic relief characters form a duo after experiencing a passionate drama. Ichikawa: Even after forming a duo, Juria and Elle still tend to get into arguments over trivial matters. In that sense, I think they're a more realistic depiction of middle schoolers than Himari and Mitsuki. However, the relationship between Juria, who neglects her summer homework, and Elle who scolds her but can't quite bring herself to be strict with her, is too similar to that of Himari and Mitsuki's isn't it? (laughs).
>>282906285Thanks for the TL! The writer interviews are always spicy. >Mii's diary is leading to the finale>Juria and Elle realizing that they were both already in love with each other>Nanauras are a "different kind" of sibling relationship>Vivi is a genius like Himari>Mitsuki was a woman who could have been like a mother to HimariLots of very silly lines.
>>282906143>It was like realizing later that they were both already in love with each othersuch good friends
>>282906703>>Vivi is a genius like Himarithe depressed retard and the depressed retardog are both geniuses...

so much otter love
>"Mitsuki, I love you, I have always loved you", said Wako>"Oh... I'm glad, Wako. B-But I don't really feel the same... I don't even know you..." said Mitsuki, nervous.>Wako felt dejected, but quickly replied "C-Can we be just friends then?">"Of course! I love making friends!" said Mitsuki with a smile. Wako then moved closer to Mitsuki and shoved her tongue down her throat for a kiss, which is a normal thing friends do.
>>282911574The canon version is Wako shoving a laced candy down her throat and then Mii passed out.
>>282911574The generational perpetuation of grooming is a sad affair to see.
Some early MTLd spoilers for the movie.Wait, they opened with "Start Dash Sensation"!? With Laala-chan!? They’re coming in swinging!!I went in with low expectations, thinking it’d just be like, two collab songs, a Music Award vibe, and a light story… BUT!! Every single stage was a collab!! What the heck!!!I only caught that Sumire-chan would appear in Blue Empress during "Chuchu Ballet" and that they'd be doing "Kono Uta Tomare Ihi", so I freaked out and avoided all spoilers after that. Which is why I was completely blown away when Aroma-chan showed up in Chuchu Ballet, and the moment Fuwari-chan joined up with Nono and Risa was so cute I almost cried.Hinaki-chan and Mirei-kun’s “Ma~ble” swimsuits… If you're used to Aikatsu, the amount of exposed skin was kinda shocking. PriPara is wild.We’d already seen Caramelisé Nina-chan in previews, but the dark horse Garuru was SO cuteeeeeI love Garuru.When Hibiki-kun said he sensed “the scent of genius” from Juri-chan, I was like “He’s got good taste~~~~~” watching from the sidelines with arms crossed.Then when they started singing “Jun Amore Ai” together, I lost it—UWAAAAAAAH!!!!!! Hibiki-kun… thanks for picking out a coord that fits Juri-chan so perfectly…Doroleo and NonoRisa-chan charged in shouting “ORA! SEXY MAX, Y’ALL!!” If you’re only familiar with PriPara, the back exposure on the Silky Love Devil coord probably shocked you.I laughed at SekiMageddon, then my eyes popped out at how cute their coords were. The Kansai team’s "The Idol" coord and Galala were just too cute—it broke me.When Madoka-chan and Rin-chan headed toward the stage, I was excited like “Who are they gonna team up with?” and then Debi & En started singing as a duo and I absolutely flipped. I didn't expect that!Having Tricolore perform Juri-chan’s solo song was amazing, Hibiki-kun is clearly super into Juri-chan.
>>282912022It was so nice seeing the Para group show up at Starlight Academy in their “official” appearances… and I was reminded once again that the Aikatsu crew are total physical elites.During the cliff climbing scene, the fact that they were actually wearing harnesses just made Akari-chan and the others seem even more insane—I couldn’t stop laughing.Please… please show us the stage of Kagawa Iroha-san and Yuu-chan…CHEEKY LITTLE SUCCUBUS MADOKA-CHAN!!!!!!!! GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once spoilers are allowed, I need to see a million fanarts of this.
The first updates for the Japanese box office are in. Aikatsu X Pripara is predicated to rank 2nd place which would be the highest debut for a shoujo anime in 9 years
>>282912022>Hibiki x JuriNow that's an unexpected combo.
>>282912058Man, I can't wait to see what it ends up at. I wasn't even thinking about how huge the turnout would be for it, makes complete sense that it's gonna be nuts!
>>282912022>the amount of exposed skin was kinda shockingSoccer moms aren’t gonna like that.
>>282912217Eh, it's not like it's targeted at kids, really. Both Aikatsu and Pripara haven't been on TV in so long that the little friends don't know them anymore, this is a KinPri thing where it's appealing to the people who grew up watching the show and are now older.
>when Nina starts singing
>>282912217The little girls who watched both of them are the moms now, ainon. Which reminds me, I'm seeing a lot of accounts that are AiPri fans that pretty much are mothers and their children. It feels like a warm and kind world when looking at this perspective.

More MTL spoilersWhen Mega-nii said, “I will install the song directly into your brain,” I’m sure everyone wanted to make a comment about it, but it got skipped due to time constraints… and I thought, wow, everyone in Aikatsu is so mature… (lol).The Aikatsu kids are all about pure, 100% honest dialogue, so every time Dorothy jumped in with her fast-talking antics, I was on edge. But thanks to her “idol aura” (intimidation?), the balance held, so I was relieved.Aroma-chan is great at stage production, but I never thought of her as an especially skilled dancer, so seeing her nail the Chuchu Ballet made me go, “Alright, I see you,” arms crossed in approval.Mikan-chan’s singing voice blended so well with Katsu that I honestly wanted her to sing like 5 more songs.The Sekimaggedon pairing was unexpected, but combining Nina-chan and Gaarara using the “monster” theme as a hook was just pure genius.When Juri-chan’s Latin blood gets fired up, she kind of stands out in Aikatsu (in a good way), but Hibiki-kun totally embraced it and matched her energy — absolute legend. Also, him being thrilled about her dropping the sentence-ending particles was hilarious.Also, Juri-chan being in such a good mood AND looking amazing? The animation was too good. I’m so happy.“Still not singing… still playing with Miyabi-chan…” and then finally Shion-kun busts out Chica×Chica — it was so hype. And that sexy red outfit? Super rare for Shion-chan and totally perfect.Even as a fan, I couldn’t defend the pineapple… Akari-chan’s conflicted expression was actually really good. Felt like I witnessed something meaningful.Non-kun might be too tailored to niche interests…?The end card with China NonSugar made me go “YEEEEES.” Please, I need to see them perform on stage in the sequel!!!!!
