i was just internet literate enough at the right time to use msn before microsoft forced it into skype, very fond memories mostly of sparkly emoticons
my parents never monitored my internet usage and i remember being online at 4 or so and by 6 i had my own laptop so i was just doomed to be an internet spastic from an early age. i used my first chan when i was 8 but i only went on 4chan when i was 12 or something because i heard it was scary
i can't tell if it's a better or worse experience than ipad kids

The final secret buzzlume: ice cream. Or Himari got hungry while drawing that, which seems far more likely.

Actually wait, does the ice cream there represent the Aimu?

Mii'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.
>>
>>282867674
I 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?
>>
>>282867737
She was confident her win was secured after the events of S1.
>>
>>282867737
Momentary 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).

>>282868458
>>as a star aipri she feels she needs to be more proactive in being a senpai

I 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.
>>
>>282868542
yeah 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.

Eh, 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.

All 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.

Very 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.

Now 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.

Her 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.

Chii likes ramen, 'pastel purple' is her color.

And 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

You'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.

Interview 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.
>>
>>282885820

Bad 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.
>>
>>282885844
Bad 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.
>>
>>282885866

Bad 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.
>>
>>282885892
Thanks 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.

Mii 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).

I need to collect more Pretty Series tapestries. The art on some of them are nice, but I only have a cyalume coord Garuru one.

I'm surprised that Mia had beta designs in IT given that she's based on an existing character.

i have quite a few but unfortunately not enough space, i rotate some of them when it's convenient (i switched out a s2 sion for police laala and birthday garuru for mia, etc) would post a picture but my rooms a mess and also i have before i think
beta stuff is fascinating, i guess they were experimenting before deciding to basically keep the old designs (applying to prichan too) if anyone asks i did not buy a magazine because it had a tiny section on sion(and the rest of solami dressing) that isn't in the books it was like £3 lol, there were scans but the quality was ass where i found them
i love seeing beta/etc stuff for every series especially when the changes are super dramatic. sions character looped around

Writer 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.
>>
>>282906114

Bad 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.
>>
>>282906143

Bad 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.
>>
>>282906216

Bad 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).
>>
>>282906251

Bad 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).

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 cuteeeee

I 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.
>>
>>282912022
It 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.

Eh, 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.

Hi!

More MTL spoilers
When 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!!!!!
