We havent analyzed the ray MV nearly enough imo. There is still a lot more stuff to mine.Like this moment that shows Roka crying in happiness for IroKagu during the concert.
Also can we talk about this character creation screen? It's easy to miss, because it is only around so shortly, but this is full of easter eggs.1. Under the ear option there is baby Kaguya's bunny ear ribbon.2. The fact that the system knows what Kaguya is wearing irl feels like some kind of privacy infringement. What the hell Yachiyo?3. Among the outfits you can choose from is literally just Iroha's school uniform. Yachiyo isnt even subtle!4. Also for some goddessforsaken reason she added a grade schooler uniform?? I am starting to think that age gap kink is real.5. There are so many cosplay fetish outfits in here... yet everyone in the movie almost exclusively wears some form of altered traditional Japanese outfit. Like there is nobody going around in a nurse outfit or a cheerleader outfit or freaking blue work overalls. Yachiyo is just horny on main.
The hell happened to the other thread?
>>4530770There was some massive pruning going on. Reminds me of that time around New Years when dozens of threads got deletes. I tried to recreate the thread as best as possible.
Oh right, the Fushi post.I guess people were generally aware, but the type of seaslug Fushi is modeled after is called a "sea bunny". Kinda like the Flapjack octopus, I'm surprised the Japanese script worked with English wordplay there. Or maybe the Japense word for sea bunny is pretty much the same? They just look like bunnies after all.I don't need to explain why the bunny/ocean theme is perfect.
Iroha's mom accepting Kaguya is definitely in character. Strong daughters and all that.
>>4530776
>>4530770The game thread got deleted at the same time, so I guess the anon who made both shitposted a bit too hard and got IP-wiped.
>>4530763I'm surprised Starry Seas is the most popular karaoke song. Or is that because it is slow and easy to sing?
>>4530763>Two CPK focused doujin events were announced. Summer is going to be filled with Kaguya doujins.The one on 5/24 had 30 spots for circles open and they were all quickly filled out, I think the one on 6/21 is bigger but I don't know by how much. Either way, there's going to be a lot of them.
>>4530801I've already seen some doujins locked behind a paywall on pixiv. Some artists are fast. I'm sure we will have a lot before we even reach summer.
Iroha will never win.
>>4530766>she added a grade schooler uniformLegendary grandma move
>>4530975>>4530977>>4530980>>4530981I hate this retarded spambot so much. Stop reposting 200 old images every thread. There is no point in making new ones when all the images are just goddamn reposts because you are too stupid to do anything but copy paste danbooru's library.
>>4530775Those slugs are actually hella toxic. Maybe that's why Fushi is always so spiteful.
>>4530764Supportive Roka is the best. She is always tearing up when Iroha is happy.Hope she has a girlfriend aftet the timeskip. Doubt the LN elaborates on that.
>>4530800Most of the CPK covers recommended to me on youtube are Starry Seas too. There are some ray covers too, but that's about it. I only saw one EX Otogibanashi cover yet.
Not just Nijisanji, but now even Hololive Vtubers are doing watchalongs. I guess this movie was kinda tailor made for Vtubers. It's on topic and because it was streaming only first, that makes it easy to convince people to do watchalongs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0SjxU_Kn3A&t=245s
eroha is weak to anal
Which dynamic do you like more? KaguIro, Iroyachi, Tsukuyomi sex or real world touching? I personally like 8000 year old Yachiyo in a Kaguyabot body being topped by Iroha, because it's funny to me that so many centuries of yearning end up with oba-san being a bottom
>>4531044Are you just trying to say the first retarded thing that comes to your mind without any brain activity?>>4531046>Tsukuyomi sexThat isnt a thing. They dont have the tech.Anyway, it's kinda hard to pick a dynamic. I kinda find YachiIro the most interesting because of all the layersy but ultimately what we got in the end was probably the best. Yachiyo in Kaguya'a body, both deep and excitable, with a matured Iroha who is more in touch with her own feelings.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2025149187248324613>Regarding the theatrical screenings that started yesterday, in light of the response this time, we are proceeding with discussions with various parties to provide more opportunities.
>>4531051Japs are treating the cinema wars like they are actually suitors fighting for Kaguya.Meanwhile the rest of the world aint getting any cinema airings.
>>4531051You forgot to mention that they also uploaded the limited illustrations given out af cinemas to their website for free.
>>4531053Chink scalper bros...
Classic.
>>4531057In my language, "having horns" means you're being cheated on. Good luck, Roka.
>>4529820I don't know if I agree, but to a degree it sort of depends on how the Lunarians view time, which is not something they ever explicitly address. The implication to me is that Kaguya/Yachiyo never seem to be worried in the slightest about time travel causing a paradox, that she knows that no matter what she does she won't (or can't) change the flow of history such that Iroha won't exist or behave any differently than she remembers. From that perspective, she knows that no matter what she does, if she just manages to stay alive for 8,000 years, she can still reunite with Iroha. She didn't know she would become Yachiyo, but once she did figure it out, she never seems to worry that she needs to act a certain way to ensure her younger self will act in the same way she remembers herself acting. It's a pretty fatalistic view of time travel, but it seems the most consistent with how she acts. And from that view, that's why I was saying she might be feeling lost, she's finally seeing further along in the timeline, and she doesn't know what happens next.
>>4531060Her believing a time loop exists at all or that she will be able to meet Iroha again are 100% dependent on her knowing ahe will be Yachiyo.There is a reason she had to be cheered up and strengthened by all the people she met across history. She would habe despaired otherwise because she had no certainty about meeting Iroha again.
>>4531059What language is that?
>>4531057Oh its the lesbian hand sign...
This is what peak lesbian performance looks like. You may not like it, but it's true.
"Iroha, your face is beautiful. Since the first time I saw you, I have fallen in love"
>>4531132Pasta
I died at the last panel lol
>>4531136Leave it to Italians to make a bunch of weird metaphors for cheating I guess.
>>4531139It's funny, because Kaguya never really gets jealous when people praise or like Iro-P. She seems prous about her girlfriend being popular. She is only jealous if Iroha gives her attention to someone else.
The official Youtube channel is hinting at something happening on Sunday.
>>4531164https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/202517869215084964513:30 so in around 9 hours.
>>4531168Also apparently it lines up with the time of one of the movie theater staff greetings so some people think it's where they will announce an extension of the theatrical run.
>>4531170What's a movie theater staff greeting? Do they really do that in Japan...?
>>4531172There are a couple screenings a day in a specific theater in Tokyo (just on the weekend I think) where the VAs of the three main girls and the director have a short talk after the movie. It's not a common occurrence.
>>4531174I see. The special event kind. Welp, hope they talk about how this movie is a love story just to mess with the retarded PR suits who always try to stay neutral.
https://www.cho-kaguyahime.com/news/detail.html?id=806
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANTThey are selling merch to crowdfund a Tsukuyomi world in VRchat where you can interact with Kaguya and make your own events.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlgzklEEcFkIt's already over 174% funded btw.
>>4531354I definetly want the clear files, those desings are way too cute
Here are the staff greetings at the cinema. Mostly the main girls talking about each other's performances. If I got it right they added Yachiyo's tears to the EX-Otogibanashi scene because of Hayami'a performance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbIBeuMUnCkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y66GwnpAiw
This is a reall minor detail, so nobody picked up on it I think. Iroha's aircon is always unplugged even in the heat of summer, because it eats too much electricity and would increase her bill. Kaguya even mentions that the air in the cafe was cool, so she asks if they can do this as Iroha's appartment too.What's sweet is that even though the aircon is unplugged in the whole Yachiyo Cup montage, it is suddenly on when Iroha falls sick and Kaguya takes care of her. Kaguya bore the heat so she wouldnt bother Iroha, but she immediately turned it on to cool her fever down.
So something that's kinda odd is this one thing the movie DOESNT ever reference again. Iroha makes a quick excuse that Kaguya is her cousin (ita as if they knew all the gay cousin memes from Sailor Moon). But never once in the entire movie does this supposed relation come up again.Not only do Roka and Mami not bring it up when Iroha reveals who Kaguya truly is, they clearly set IroKagu up for that romantic summer festival date. Unless they are incest shippers, this kinda implies they didnt buy Iroha's excuse whataoever. Eveb though Mami believed the Tsukiji part. So that means Iroha was so obviously gay for Kaguya and vice versa that they were entirely seethrough.
>>4531393I think it's just as likely they didn't mind even if they bought Iroha and Kaguya being cousins.
I see I'm not the only one who thought there was no way Iroha could keep her cool right away at the summer live outfits.
>>4531394I want to say that the incest shipper option is too unhinged even for this movie... But Roka and Mami are pretty much ride or die when it comes to Iroha. So probably true.
>>4531395She is always horny for Yachiyo, so she could probably handle that. But I bet she dies of embarrassment when she has to put it on herseld and learn dance choreography.
>>4531396There's nothing wrong with homosexual incest, two girls can't have kids (*)(*) until Iroha invents a way later.
>>4531438Shareholder here, I'm starting to think the director might be getting a bit off track in her research.
Oh, very nice.
>>4531402The money she'll make from selling lifelike robot bodies will pay for IPS cell research. There's probably still some DNA left on some skin cells left behind in Kaguya's spaceship.
I love Kaguya so much that I ship Iroha exclusively with her and just kind of ignore Yachiyo and now I feel like I'm missing out on half the fandom. I think I need a rewatch.
>>4531466It is the same person so you are just biased against her hair style. A rewatch is always the answer though. I'm waiting for more days off so I can have enough time to watch it multiple times in a row myself.
>>4531391Sometimes I dont know who is more insane, the studio who made this level of detail or the audience who will analyse a freaking aircon across the movie...
>>4531448Massive repeated testing of the hardware and software is a core facet of robotics, dear shareholder.
>>4531466That's like saying "I ship Stacy from 10 years ago with her girlfriend so much that I ignore present day Stacy's relationship with her girlfriend."PS: Have you watched the canon ray MV on youtube yet?
>>4531466Kaguyabot is literally Yachiyo onee-sama, you sound like the the Miraculous fandom shipping their made up love square
I wonder who would really be the one to make the first move
>>4531449>tears ipad like paperIroha really is superhuman!
>>4531497The "every frame" chants aint for nothing. Not a wasted second in the whole movie.
>>4531636I was just thinking about the very first frame of the movie earlier today because the first time I watched it I felt like I immediately knew this was going to be something special. Just looking back at it now and it opens up with two separate ripples meeting over the moon. I think it is very likely even that moment was made with intent. I see Iroha and Kaguya together everywhere I look.
https://soreosu.com/projects/cpk-tsukuyomi>A project to reconstruct the virtual space Tsukuyomi depicted in the work as a “VR world you can experience” alongside fans is now underway. Once the Tsukuyomi stage is complete, we'll host online events featuring 3D Kaguya!Looks like the success of the last show made them open crowdfunding for a Tsukuyomi recreation in VRChat. The prices are just too much for me to get some of the special merch they made unfortunately.
>>4531639Honestly, not even a stretch.
>>4531643Anon... we already posted about that. >>4531354
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2025767570897285327As expected, the theatrical release has been extended both in time and amount of theaters. Some of the new theaters have been announced but the full amount and how much longer the run will last aren't known yet. Also they'll start including the Ray music video at the end.

>>4531731Holy fuck that is elaborate!! I know it's superimposed over an existing anime scene, but even then this is mad impressive. Roka x Mamayori shippers of all people are going this hard....Which yuri anime is this from though?
>>4531716Netflix must be getting some of the proceeds. But with how popular the movie is, this should still be a huge success.
>>4531718>>4531725I love these two comic strips back to back, because they are the same concept, but the dynamics completely reversed. Shows the fandom has wildly different idea who would be the top in this relationship. Very good for fan work variety.
>>4531739I like the older Iroha > Yachiyo > Kaguya > Iroha interpretation but yeah.
>>4531740It's so good because all interpretations have some support. What held Iroha back was her tsundere nature, which she dropped as an adult, so you expect her to be more emotionally expressive. Even so, Iroha is still touch starved and has no experience with love outside of Kaguya and there is no way she isnt still weak to her wife's charm.Yachiyo clearly has gotten more demure with age, but at the same time Yachiyo is ambitious and very extra, so she can really do both roles.Young Kaguya was super direct about her feelings and basically never embarrassed, so I dont quite get the shy bottom interpretation at all...High school Iroha is a total serving top type tho.
If Iroha became an astronaut instead of a roboticist.
>>4531750I don't think the Lunarians live on the physical moon, so this isn't gonna work. Cute though.Honestly if you wanted a solution where Kaguya never travels back in time, just use the bracelet to tell her about the asteroid. But that will cause paradoxes.
>>4531743>Young Kaguya was super direct about her feelings and basically never embarrassed, so I dont quite get the shy bottom interpretation at all...Honestly agreed. It's weird how so many artists put her into the shy or easily embarrassed role. I don't think she has shown a single bit of shame or hesitation on her feelings once in the whole movie. She was conflicted about prying into Iroha's family situation and she felt bad for pushing her to the point of collapse, so kaguya is definitely capable of self-reflection and nuance, but she just never shows any embarrassment at all. I mean, she literally made a song about loving herself and not giving a damn about what anyone expects from her.
So I'm thinking of actually getting JP merch for the first time. Speaking as mainly a yuri fan, what are the worthwhile (available) official merch atm? I know the LN is a given and as soon as Iroha gets announced, I'll probably get the 1/7 scale figures of all three girls. I'll definitely getting the rough sketch acrylic and clear file from >>4530421, is there anything else I'm missing? Kind of disappointing most of the merch doesn't include the three/two together
>>4531902Besides the ones you already plan on, the only things I liked are a few acrylic panels from some stores that used the official promo art or the individual character acrylic standees, but none of that is even easily available until May. There is a lot of lazy screenshot merch items where it has them together but I don't know how appealing that is because you could just print it at a photo shop and frame it just as easily. For unique merch announcements I think we need to wait for more new events to generate new official art to use for the merch.
>>4531902There is the merch they just released to fund the VR world. >>4531354
I sometimes think about what would have happened if Kaguya didnt grow into a 10 year old within 3 days... there is no way Iroha could have taken care of a baby beyond her long weekend. She cant go to school and work while looking after her. She would 100% have had to either give her up to the police/orphanage or go back to her mother to raise her. So the few people I saw who were disappointed this wasn't a story about a girl raising a child really didn't think this through.
>>4531957> Roka helps her raise her> it's a found family movie now> Lunarians take the baby back to the moon> Iroha makes IPS real, has a new baby with Roja> Roka wins
>>4531991What, they take turns skipping school to take care of her? Someone needs to make money too and Iroha can barely survive with her part time job. I guess Roka is a pretty popular beauty influencer, but I doubt she rakes in the big cash before she becomes a full time model.
Preserve it forever...
This was for cat day
She literally cant say no
I'm honestly shocked that the official youtube channel still has no video for the Happy Synthesizer cover.
>>4532035They did upload the scene it plays in with IroKagu's newlywed life in the new apartment. No clean version or a dedicated MV though.
>>4532036I mean it's technically more crazy that there is no version of Reply, but that song is already pretty front and center. Out of all the other songs only Happy Synth doesn't get any acknowledgement, which I just found odd.
>>4532038Reply is definitely getting a special MV, Remember has one and it's too important a song to just get ignored.
>>4531856It's just fun to imagine that Kaguya would be caught off-guard if Iroha suddenly acted forward.
>>4532050That's less embarrassment and more horniness/inftuation to the max. I really liked how in the manga she squeals in delight here when Iroha protects her from the suitors. That's kinda how I see Kaguya reacting to a proactive Iroha. Being super happy and giddy about it.
You cannot escape the yuri office lady AU.You will dread it, run from it, but it arrives all the same.Embrace it before it consumes you.
>>4532053Is this Yachiyo Kaguya's older sister?
>>4532054Time traveling Kaguya who got a super duper make-over. She just wanted to have an age gap workplace romance with Iroha that badly.
https://x.com/amamura_m/status/2026207390279012358The doujin event on May 24th was originally announced with 30 slots available but was adjusted to include 54 circles.
>>4530762So can we collect some interesting fanfic ideas? I think we already got a few.1. "First timeline"Some people think there should have been a first timeline without Yachiyo before the loop started. It would be interesting to see someone imagine up how that first timeline would have played out. No Yachiyo, no Tsukuyomi and thus no "Remember" etc. Iroha would have been much worse off here and without a VR world, the Lunarians would come after Kaguya differently, right? There is a lot going on here, but we already know the conclusion.2. "Idol AU"Ok, so based on some fanart, an AU where Yachiyo is an idol and Iroha becomes her producer/secret lover is a popular idea. But let me add some spice to it. This is STILL Kaguya who ran away from the moon, but this time landed a bit earlier in time (hence the age gap) and she had to reconstruct her body in a way that makes her look like Yachiyo right oft the bat. This is a story more about how Iroha who is a big Yachiyo fan goes behind the scenes, finds out she is an alien, becomes her emotional support and starts dating her. Will the Lunarians come for Kaguya again or will things work out differently?3. "Office AU"It's tired, it's boring, it's been done a million times. But I want to see how anybody can justify Kaguya ending up in an office job. The sheer mental gymnastics would be magnificent.4. "Wedding"A fanfic on how Kaguya and Iroha get married, either by changing Japan's laws or going overseas. Can probably give the fujos some minimal fanservice with a Mikado/Noi side-plot. 5. "Roka wins"An AU where Kaguya never appeared and Roka has to save Iroha from self-destructing. This one would be more grounded than any other.
Bigger new version of fanart uploaded a few days ago.
>>4532087Fireworks festival ten years later.
>>4532087>>4532088Gorgeous...
>>4532072Any AU without Yachiyo would be one where Iroha doesnt actually go to Tokyo though. Because the ray MV heavily implied Iroha only moved because she got a push by Yachiyo. So the original timeline idea would mean Kaguya ends up at the Sakayori family home and Iroha would have to hide her from her mom. And in the idol thingy, Iroha wouldnt move to Tokyo unless she does it to meet her idol?
>>4532072>But I want to see how anybody can justify Kaguya ending up in an office jobShe literally ran from being a wage slave on the moon! Being an OL is her default state. Mayhaps in the fic she could be from a black company (a Jap term for companies that violate labor laws) and got transfered to Iroha's company. There she immediately falls in love with her and tries to drag her out of the office life, while cell manager Yachiyo is trying to incorporate them into her big scheme to make the company into something better.>>4532099Would be really interesting to have Iroha deal with her mom and Kaguya at the same time!
>>4532072>>4532072Iroha is a studio musician for a record company, playing music she hates just to pay the bills. Kaguya managed to join a rival moon themed idol company, but ended up as only an office drone and is bored out of her skull. Kaguya is out drinking and passes out against the telephone pole outside of Iroha's run down apartment. Iroha brings her inside to get her off the street. Kaguya finds Iroha's old keyboard and gives Easyha the puppy dog eyes until she starts playing. Iroha sings along, and they both rediscover their love of music. Kaguya sends in an immediate resignation from her company, not actually following procedure, dies her hair and changes her makeup, and becomes the underground indie idol Yachiyo, while Iroha becomes her producer and musician. But can they make it big before Kaguya's old company's legal team finds them out and sues them into oblivion over contract violation?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owEBHHZg38sThe official channel has finally uploaded a full version of Ex-Otogibanashi.
>>4532168I like how you recontextualized their first meeting and some of the plot points of the movie. I just don't see why Iroha would have a crappy appartment with a decent paying job though.
>>4532179I mean, low end studio musician jobs don't pay that much, especially if you have to live in Tokyo to get the jobs. A quick google suggests 5 million yen a year pretax is a standard entry level studio musician job, and even a studio apartment in central Tokyo could be as much as a third of that in rent. Combined with her general frugality, it doesn't seem that unrealistic to me.
>>4532182Then one would have to wonder how she got into this situation. No Yachiyo -> No decision to move to Tokyo alone -> finishing school in her hometown without trying to prove herself -> depressed, Iroha finally starts to do music again -> thinks she can only make it as a musician in Tokyo -> ends up at an entry level studio musician job because she didn't study music at university as it was a spontaneous choice -> bad pay -> rundown one-room appartmentThere is a chain of logic here, but do you gotta work for it!
>>4531957>>4531991>>4532005Would you trust this goober with a baby?
>>4532185This girl raises LESBIANS
>>4532184I might put it more like thisNo Yachiyo > still decides to move to Tokyo when she can't put up with her mom any more, but more out of spite than out of hope > finishes school and tries to go to Tokyo U as a lawyer > horribly burns out > has to scramble to figure out a living because she's still to spiteful to go back home > moves to a run down apartment to save money, bites the bullet out and sells out as a starting studio musician > story begins
>>4532072I want to read about Kaguya streaming her reactions to bad ends in yuri media.
>>4532071https://x.com/amamura_m/status/2026318095670009915They've announced a second event on September 22nd. This is now the third Kaguya doujin event overall.
>>4532198At least this one's done with some distance so artists have some time to properly prepare and digest.
>>4532190I wonder if she would really burn out enough to completely waste her university stage, but the only reason she went into law was to please her mother anyway. So if she is just running away out of spite she probably wouldn't even go for that course.
>>4532196If that one scene where she live reactd to that movie is correct she already crashes out at the mere existence of het endings lol
>>45322018,000 years witnessing mostly straight people but once she's back she gets into a relationship with another girl, her brother-in-law is married to a guy, there's another lesbian in her friend group and only one token straight girl. Much better.
>>4532202I want to believe that Kaguya encouraged every single lesbian she met across history to go for her true love, society be damned. That aside though, I wonder if Kaguya was just inherently a lesbian, despite Lunarians probably not working like that (they do have sexual dimorphism, but they are more like data, so probably don't need anything sexual to procreate), if she has an innate disgust for hetshit and falls in love with the first human girl she meets. I also feel like her reaction to Black OnyX entrance was utter revulsion, which can't be a coincidence.
They are actually selling the Yachiyo stand diorama thingy?!
I really like the official scrapbook art. Glad the management decided to upload it for free. I would feel bad for whoever got the physical version at the cinema and had to cut it up for scans otherwise.
>>4532203It's Iroha's fault she's gay, I'm sure nobody in the moon had half the things she likes about her. Even here Iroha is top tier, one look at the internet and i'm sure she found out about all the disgusting Otaku, annoying cryptobross and the dudes who want tradwives. Then she went on a 8000 year journey where women were historically having the worst fucking time in almost every culture and a lot places killed the gays too. I refuse to believe she learned all that and ever considered anyone else other than Iroha, I don't care how pretty the Japanese think their Heian era was or how honorable samurai were or how fancy the red district was. The past mostly sucked for women. She was Lunarian gay and just confirmed it on earth
>>4532212>dudes who want tradwivesKaguya was influenced by this and it worked.
Do Lunarians, beside Kaguya, even have physical bodies?
>>4532222The novel said their ship analyzes the environment of the planet it lands on and grants them optimized bodies.
>>4532072Coffee Shop AU
>>4532072>3. "Office AU"There's an ongoing slow-burn office AUhttps://archiveofourown.org/works/78874046/chapters/206864551
>>4532215>thinks enjoying cooking as a hobby and wanting her wife to eat healthy makes her a tradwife>equates Iroha to dudesPathetic.
>>4532239Which makes sense, as their actual digital bodies seem to be wildly inhuman. But kaguya has been portrayed as entirely human looking even before she ever went to Earth. I assume it's just for convenience, but technically she should have looked like one of those masked freaks.
>>4532242If there is one singular setting more tired than the office AU... you somehow found it. If we actually address it for CPK!, it's insipid and would not at all add anything to this cast. Coffee making is at best tangentially related to Kaguya's love for Earth food, but it wouldn't make for a fulfilling pastime for her. Iroha even less.If they have to make a food place, I think they would go for something with music shows and a variety of food. So a classy club maybe (turned into a wild idol-like haven quickly).
>>4532253I dont actually wanna read it, but please tell me how they justify Kaguya going into OL hell. Do they just pretend it's normal for her?
>>4532284What about trying to open a successful ihop restaurant in japan even though the previous attempts by other people have failed.
>>4532295It should stay failed.
Now what, seriouslySequel doesnt make sense. All other official media will just be the same story retold in a different format.Spin off? Like the GWitch manga?
>>4532315Finish releasing the remaining MVs, make some shiny VR world for people to go visit, make collab merch with every mom and pop diner and pachinko they can find, then move on to another project. It doens't need more story.
>>4532315Distant sequel, Iroha and Kaguya and Yachiyo start their own entertainment company and keep pseudo adopting girls that are crushed by either parental or corporate pressure, and it follows a group of girls trying to live up to their legacy of banging music and banging each other.Or alterntaively, they have a kid via a mixture of human and lunarian technology, kid gets sent to boarding school on the moon to learn to control their weird lunarian powers, and promptly start attracting their harem of gay lunarian school girls.
>>4532315It's over.
>>4532315I won't settle for anything other than a 100 chapter slice of life manga about living together and playing in the VR world.
>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7b37pEjNuAw>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kDDtKqfBYFY>https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/cosmic-princess-kaguya-3d-print>https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/yachiyo-runami-3d-modelThese are really nice for fdm prints. Painting the face and eyes would be a challenge but I'm considering trying it anyway.
>>4532315In the sequel Iroha's achievements with androids and sensation make it possible that people can pilot big robots as if they're wearing a second skin by using a Lunarian mineral. This greatly hurts the pilot tho and it becomes illegal, people who still desings this technology are called witches. At some point Kaguya makes some genetically modified vegetables or something, like tomatoes
>>4532315Bedroom (real and virtual) spinoff OVAs.
>>4532205It's a Kamidana, a mini Shinto altar of that you pray to. We've seen this in YuYuYu where everyone in class prays facing the Shinju in a Kamidana on the classroom wall.We saw Iroha praying to it before leaving for school at the start of the movie, treating Yachiyo like a Shinto god.
>>4532315I want a novel from Yachiyo POV.
Whoa
>>4532315>>4532344The story is done, but I still want a kiss. I dont care if its a OVA or a spin-off manga. Its successful enough that they can freaking risk having an actual kiss in something not all the movie audience will see anyway.
>>4532429Something that people dont really think of enough when the topic of good animation comes up is expressiveness of characters in none action scenarios. Most anime just try to barely move from the keyframe and just move the mouth a little so they look "good". But CPK! really shows the absolute genous of fluid animation in conversations, expressions and body language. Iroha, Kaguya and Yachiyo have a thousand different faces in this movie. You can literally see the thoughts and enotions shift when Kaguya realizes Iroha is happy about having her music skills praised and decides to double down on pulling her into something that she clearly enjoys.Or that scen during the fireworks when Iroha admits she still loves her mother despite wanting to hate her. The shift as Kaguya tears up, but tries to hide it with a smile is so good.
Stop spamming already poates images you worthleaa bot.
>>4532466>poates>worthleaaThe flesh is so weak.
>>4532470Dealing with this shitty spambot every thread makes me lose braincells. Just ban him already.
>>4532464Doujin cover?
>>4532405This is a good one. Do it you cowards.
>>4532452
>>4532546I honestly think it’s pretty dumb to crowdfund a VRChat Tsukuyomi that people will only use for a month tops. We need more actual story content, drama cd, novel, whatever.
>>4532574Farming out more content that strays further from the emotional core of the movie and gets shopped around to random artists isn't very enticing. The VR world isn't even going to be an expensive thing to create anyway since eople are making intricate VR worlds for free already on their own. They could make some more content that took place during the movie without an issue but it isn't really that important to see more elaborate scenes from the montage like Kaguya streaming like her cooking for iroha or whatever else we already saw. It strays to the point of excess if they just make random crap like ASMR drama CDs where Kaguya is flirting with Iroha.
I thought the flow of fanart would've dried up a week ago but no, it's as strong as ever. Thousands upon thousands.
>>4532566>when you love your teenage motherwife so much your eyes turn into fried eggskino
>>4532647I said it before and I'll keep saying it, a series with the waifu (or meme) of the month is not the same as a series (yuri) with a real fan base.
>>4531057>>4531059>>4531132>>4531140"Cuckold horns" is a widespread concept in European cultures. It's old enough that it's mentioned in Shakespeare.
>>4532583>drama CDs where Kaguya is flirting with IrohaThat's what I want though.I cut the ASMR part because it makes no sense ane you are dumb for trying to shove it in there.
>>4532647A new wave of people are watching it because of the cinema release and word of mouth keeps spreading. The more famous artists draw art for it, the more people get interested. And at the low cost of 5 bucks for a Netflix sub, the movie is super easy to recommend and spread.
>>4532481If you hate looking at yuri pics so much, you should consider a different board.
>>4532762Garbage bait. There is no point in reposting the same images over and over. The retard bot just posts anything on danbooru no matter if other anons posted the exact same pic from xitter two posts above it already. It also posts futashit. Brainless spam has no justitication. Bots are also against 4chan's rules. Now no more excuses.
>>4532072>Iroha works in a company, excellent at her job but a pushover super tired all the time> Yachiyo is her supervisor, Iroha admires her blah blah, senpai stuff> They go to visit a client> Kaguya is the client> Falls in love at first sight, makes it her mission to make Iroha leave that company and come to her> Yachiyo doesn't want to lose her either>It's love triangle fanficBonus points if the writer has the balls to choose one winner and either Yachiyo or Kaguya don't get their Iroha
lmao
>>4532823Kaguya's shitty artistic skills are one of her best parts. Also she can barely write properly lol
>>4532797I really dont like any concepts where Yachiyo isnt some version of Kaguya. I feel like that kills basically everything about Yachiyo.
>>4532850
>>4532848What's with the freaking condoms? Is there some kind of viral gag about lesbians pulling out the finger condoms when they want to get rough?
>>4532859Wrong series anon...
>>4532944
>>4532873Oh, woops!
>>4532944>>4532945I always did wonder about the extreme focus on pancakes by the end of the movie, when omurice was clearly indicated as the big thing at the start of the movie. Pancakes were only used for one gag where kaguya found Iroha's flou & water pancakes disgusting. It's not like there was any positive connotation with it.There is a running theme of them NOT getting to eat real pancakes together, but that makes the whole "I wish I could eat pancakes with you again" line all the more odd.
>>4532285It's going with Yachiyo as CEO, so probably the same justification as Yachiyo being the administrator of Tsukuyomi.
>>4532989I meant Kaguya Kaguya, not Yachiyo Kaguya. Or do you mean the fanfic only has Yachiyo in it?
>>4532976Even if it tasted bad, it was still Iroha's home cooking for Kaguya.
>>4532992Kaguya's only appeared in flashbacks, and Yachiyo is the CEO. It's unclear what the situation is there, but it seems Kaguya's already become Yachiyo.Unfortunately probably no OL Kaguya shenanigans in this one.
>>4533019...confusing. Well the only thing I wanted to see is how someone can possibly justify putting kaguya into an office job. Seems some mysteries will never be solved.
https://x.com/neynein_24/status/2026887427181392291Hella cute. She lured her in with the money too, very smart Yaccho!
"Did you drop this golden Kaguya in the pond or did you drop this silver Kaguya in the pond?"
>>4532976She also stole Iroha's pancakes at the shop and after making the bad flour pancakes Iroha wanted to get the mix to make good ones for her when Kaguya jumped on her at the store. Anyway this pic makes me cry.
>>4533098
>>4533100
>>4533101
>>4533102
>>4533103Too cute...
>>4533103That is an incredibly beautiful way to explain yachiyo's enduring smile.
3d printed a tiny fushi. Just needs a little paint. There is a print for yachiyo's flapjack octopus as a keychain that I want to do next.
>>4533085I already included those things as "not eating pancakes together". Kaguya stealing Iroha's pancakes (and Roka's) solely exists so she actually knows what pancakes really taste like for the lines to make any sense. But they never ate them together and it was never significant.All the times they didnt eat together has a sort of significance as a promise to look forward to, but ultimately its framed like Kaguya misses eating tasty pancakes with Iroha, which just... didnt happen.
>>4533124Artistically skilled people... I'm so jealous.
>>4533098I also read this one on xitter, but didn't have the time to post it yet. It's really incredible. Some people understand the characters so well that they can make content that enhances the canon content, which is hard to do with a movie that is already so good.
>>4530763These Gogh mofos are really doing a great job.
Iroha: "Why is there suddenly taste?"
>>4530762I feel like such an idiot for not noticing this before, but Iroha's eyes are almost always dull and lifeless fro the first half of the movie. But towards the end they gain life and a shine, once she actually feels genuinely happy and like she has a purpose in life.The only other time Iroha's eyes had a little bit of a shine like that in the first half was during her and Kaguya's cohabitation segment before the big Yachiyo concert.

>>4533213Which for those who don't know, is the author of "Can't Defy The Lonely Girl".
>>4533216A title that may as well be stamped onto CPK lol
>>4533219Her current manga is about girls making music too so of course she'd be obsessed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdriLKvfX4EThe cast talk thing before the movie screening, this time official and better filmed.
Is the official channel alright...? They uploaded the first 5 minutes and 40 seconds of the movie for absolutely no reason. They also randomly uploaded most of the fireworks scene. This is advanced marketing, huh.
https://x.com/vocaloid_mas/status/2027231874465337805Another exclusive doujin event. If I'm not mistaken, there are now events announced for 5/24, 6/7, 6/21 and 9/22.
>>4533251At this point we may as well have doujin events all year.
Interview with the director and manga artist about the manga adaptation (in english)https://www.cho-kaguyahime.com/news/detail.html?id=880
>>4533582Lots of bad words used in there.
>>4533585No kidding. All the interviews have been disappointing but this was one of the least enjoyable. Makes me wonder if someone else was the driving force behind the story since the director never talks about it in interviews.
>>4533582So much talking about the different mediums and adding stuff in the manga and I didn't see any of that at all, manga was bland as fuck.
>>4533582It is pretty eye-roll inducing that the first thing he brings up is how he likes the action and Black OnyX, but then you have to remember he is trying to glaze Yoneda Taro here, so he has to bring up what that mangaka is "good" at, which is allegedly action and portraying emotional bonds.Saying this story isn't "overtly" romantic or sexual, is clearly refering to the typical male centered way of those words. He even brings up what I praised before, the lack of sexualization of the girls, both in design and how they are treated by the camera. This isn't horny waifubait for het incels, which is good.Does this interview focus way too much on Mikado and boring nonsense? Yeah. But it's supposed to not spoil any plot points, so they are being super vague.I find the justification for the chin lift page acceptable enough though. They are literally refering to a technique hosts use in media to lure in girls. Mikado is a "idol" for yumefags. I don't find his behaviour there out of character either. It conveys a lot in one page. Problem is that it puts way too much empasize on the fake romantic pursuit dynamic, instead of it just being that superficial excuse it really is to lure out Iroha.But the manga still kept Iroha slashing at the idiot for getting close to her girl, so it's all the same.>>4533588It's been said before, but in interviews Japs will avoid saying anything at all by all costs. They have to be vague to offend nobody. They have to praise each other even if there is nothing to praise. It's all kinda worthless.>>4533605Yeah the stuff about adding so much manga original content and how you cant adapt the medium directly is pretty funny when there are barely any additions at all and everything is like 99% sped up recap of the movie. You can probably count the amount of things that were actually changed on one hand.
>>4533622>You can probably count the amount of things that were actually changed on one hand.And you could argue that is actually missing content since the songs aren't there and the manga didn't even try to convey the meaning of the songs through some other way. Not even a thought or dialogue.
>>4533624I guess it's assumed you will listen to the songs yourself afterwards. Would be very hard to convey the meaning of the songs with dialogue without just smashing Yachiyo against Iroha's face shouting "I AM KAGUYA I LOVE YOU I MISSED YOU" 10 times in a row. The songs are cleverly used, because they are a "general" medium that isn't technically addressing anyone directly, so the characters don't realize what they are actually about. It could just be a general sad ballad or love song like any other. What it truly conveys is only clear to the audience.But it would be pretty bad to just have song lyrics float over the pages for like... half a chapter.
>>4533625Addendum: I could see visual ways to show off certain things, but they would have to be very extreme. Like during Yachiyo's performance, the manga could have heavily focused on Yachiyo interacting and singling out Iroha specifically in the performance. This would convey that they song is for her and that Yachiyo is clearly intimately connected to Iroha. But this would kinda just add a more extreme version of what is already in the scene, Yachiyo thanking Iroha for always coming to listen to her by name. You would sacrifice subtlety for a more direct and literal conveyance of the song that is not supposed to be direct.
>>4533582They really tried their best to sanitize the movie. I mean not just this but the drama with Iroha's mother as well.The novel is just completely different.That said the movie's success confirmed it did hit the maximum amount of audience it could, so you can't say they were in the wrong either. Nips are fine if the gay stuff are in the novel and not in the movie.
>>4533628The movie is not sanitized at all and the gay stuff is also in the movie. The movie is the original source material, dumbo. Naturally the novel expands on many things with the original setting and script in mind that the movie simply couldn't convey concisely or that had to be cut for scene fluidity.It's very clear you didn't actually pay attention (or are intentionally baiting) when you claim the gay stuff not being in it.
>>4533629You can depict gay stuff and yet still sanitize it. They couldn't scrub Kaguya and Yachiyo's part because it is the axis their entire characters are built upon, but Iroha's feelings are pretty hit or miss. Just read Japanese overall opinions on the movie and it's obvious.On the other hand, no one who has read the novel has come out and said it's not yuri. Everyone who read the novel, non yuri fags or even anti yuri fags all realize it was a romantic story all along.
>>4533631>Just read Japanese overall opinions on the movie and it's obviousThat's complete bullshit. Not only is it near universally acclaimed, the entire otaku scene which it heavily caters to basically agrees its a yuri work. So it's not been scrubbed of any gay stuff and it conveys what it needs to.Obviously as usual novelizations simply dig more into every aspect of a work, as they should. This is why there are people who swear some Star Wars movies are great, because the novel conveyed the themes more intelligently and impactfully. But the difference here is that the movie already did its job very well and the supplementary material is just that: supplementary. Not better or overshadowing. Nobody who is anti-yuri would read the novel ya numpty. They barely paid attention to the movie and tried to just deny what it is about, so obviously they aren't going to engage with it any further beyond that initial viewing (if they even did watch it). Also there will always be people who will be either too oblivious to lesbian romance or too brainwashed by heteronormativity of their culture to ever see or accept romance between two girls even if it right in front of them.The novel just enhances what is already there in the movie. It's not the movie's business that many people are media illiterate or will project their preconceived notions on it.
>>4533631Iroha not asking her dad in her mind if the way she feels about Kaguya is the same he felt about mom isn't sanitizing anything, we get the same result non-verbally when Iroha recalls her mom telling her she couldn't understand how she was feeling at her dad's funeral and then gives Kaguya that pained look when Kaguya says she's going away, meaning that yes, Iroha understands her mom's feelings now. Same for her expression of love at the end, 一緒にいたい is unambiguously romantic for the Japanese.
>>4533634Personally I think the funeral scene and it's signifcance are about the hardships of fate. Iroha's mother saying Iroha is too young to understand that some things are inevitable or impossible to change and thus lead to painful sudden outcomes you need to cope with.The scene is overlayed with Iroha almost telling Kaguya she wouldn't understand Iroha's feelings towards her mother and independence for the same reason. She stopped herself, because she isn't like her mother and doesn't want to treat Kaguya as someone too immature to understand hardship. And then it relates back to the fireworks scene, because Kaguya indeed always understood she would have to return to the moon, that fate was inevitably coming for her. Iroha acknowledges again that she understands Kaguya had been dealing with this all along and that she would never belittle her the way her mother did her.You are completely correct about the "want to be with you" part though. That has an exclusively romantic connotation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz71QwPjjPsI really liked this video's take and analysis of the romance in the movie.
>>4533635NTA but thank you for the explanation for a dumbass like me.
>>4533632>the entire otaku scene which it heavily caters to basically agrees its a yuri workNow that is just wrong. Opinions on this movie is divided in half in JP, both between if it's a masterpiece or if it sucks, and if the relationship betwen the mains are romantic or not.And yet, the movie fanbase and the amount of yuri fans it has is significant enough and zealous enough that we can be totally oblivious to all the other noises because the amount of fanworks and discussion the fans generate is that crazy.
>>4533654>Opinions on this movie is divided in half in JPThat's just not true. I don't know what shithole you're getting your take from, to say that it's doing average and people are so/so to it in total, same thing for the romance.
>>4533665>Opinions on the movie is divided but the fanbase is still big enough that it still has tons of fan content>Reee you must mean the movie is doing averageReading comprehension is definitely not your forte, anon.This movie being the biggest yuri anime in the last 2 decades bar Madoka or Lycoris and being giga successful doesn't mean people opinions on it can't be divided. The amount of audience who has watched it is just simply too large and the movie at this point has strayed further and further from the first group of targeted audience. There are also too many otaku now that even if it can capture a portion of them there will be shitloads of others with different takes.If you want to see real opinions among all who have watched it check the typical movie rating site in JP. The thing unusual with CPK is it has very few "casual fans" or "meh" watchers on the JP side, either you fall deep into the rabbit hole and become fervent fans who bought up everything or you hate it.
>>4533701>The amount of audience who has watched it is just simply too large and the movie at this point has strayed further and further from the first group of targeted audienceThat is not true, you have no point of basis to say this, the theater screenings have been limited and basically filled with people who've watched it already, and your goalpost moving isn't cute. You directly say "opinions on the movie have been divided by HALF in JP", which is just untrue and you deflect this with nonsense. What you said could only imply that there's been so many people who've watched it that from the entire amount of people who have watched it, half of them are haters. Learn what words mean before trying to do gotchas.
>>4533626I disagree, while I wouldn't want anything overboard because it would ruin the atmosphere, Art has been around for a long time, there are ways to draw to subtly get across different emotions This same board has the spitting distance meme and a lot of Yuri is about yearning. The manga could have done way better portraying Yachiyo in the beggining, so that's it's actually a story you enjoy more the second time just like the movie.
>>4533730The movie rating is 3.6 on eiga and 3.9 on filmark, anon. Everyone agrees Scarlet is piss and yet it's still at 2.9. So compared CPK with a lot of other anime movie releases recently and you will see CPK rating is only in the average range.Theatre screening is indeed limited and filled with fans but the movie has been in Netflix on 1 month and many people have watched it due to the initial good word of mouth and sns wave it has.People just really underestimate the amount of audience who have actually watched it.
>>4533747Those are normie movie sites who never give anime movies any good scores unless they are made by some specific darling director.
Yachiyo trying to go through the screen to touch iroha...
>>4534129
>>4534167Are you fucking retarded?`>>4533504
>>4534162What, Iroha also waited 8000 years to become a nine tailed fox?
vrchat concert in 28 minutes
>>4534237I mean it's the same one from two weeks ago, so it's not that exciting. Maybe they will do a Yachiyo one once the Tsukuyomi world is completed.
I hope they understand that they are gay now.
>>4534270I just noticed Fushi...>No Rie Kugimiya leaning on Hayami's shoulder
This is why the Yaccho body would have been superior.
Fake and gay! Kaguya can't draw that well.
I've always been wondering about this, but what the heck is Mami holding here? The first three times I thought it was a lollipop.
>>4534286Looks like a portable ventilator
>>4534289Huh. I guess that could be it. But if she feels so hot why is she wearing a LONG SLEEVED BLAZER?
>>4534263i still enjoy it.
They had to do the real lesbian finger pose at least once.
This is a very well-made and likable film, but these sexless anime romances just don't do it for me. By the end I was fully convinced she really did want a real body more for eating pancakes than fucking the girl she's been pining 8000 years for.
>>4534651Media illiteracy at its finest.
>>4534651If you mean this move doesn't have a literal sex scene, then sure. You are an idiot for expecting or wanting it, but you would be technically correct.But if you meant the movie does not show off sexual and physical attraction, I have to agree witn this anon >>4534679
Iroha has been teased endlessly in all these arts
>>4534726It's time to hit back!
>>4534685>But if you meant the movie does not show off sexual and physical attractionIt doesn't do it believably, at least. Kaguya and Iroha should have definitely at least have been shown thinking about having sex before Kaguya's graduation concert, if not having an implied sex scene.
>>4534816No. There is just no reason for that. They could have thought about it a million times, but just like we don't see them thinking about every other detail in their lives all the time, this isn't relevant to the plot or the development of the narrative. You have to be emotionally stunted or brain damaged to think that sex is all people can focus on when confronted with a painful or complicated situations. Iroha was busy working on the song for Kaguya and planning to fight off the Lunarians. Kaguya was busy preparing for her graduation concert and has never tried to impolse on Iroha's physical or emotional boundaries like that before anyway. She would only do something like that if Iroha was the one approaching her about it.Not sure why I'm even humoring your stupid statement. It's clear that this is not a priority for a fucking 12+ rated movie.
