A cavalcade of news!The movie is receiving a nationwide cinema release in Japan after its supposedly limited extended release for the two prior weeks. The movie just keeps expanding its reach due to popularity. It starts airing all over the country on the 13th of March. Special illustrations will be handed out at screenings (pic rel).There are now 4 seperate CPK only focused doujin events that will happen from May all the way to November. The first digital doujins are already being released as we speak. Expect a flood of peak soon.The official channel has released music videos for the full versions of Ex-Otogibanashi and Reply, which are highly edited with movie footage and on-screen lyrics. They are very reminiscent of old-school yuri AMVs, except actually professional!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owEBHHZg38shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiSE1n_X4qUIncidentally the official epilgoue MV version of Ray has hit 9+ million views (and is rapidly closing in on 10) and is also being shown in cinemas after every screening of the movie.The Hatsune Miku version of the CPK Melt remix on ryo's channel is already above 20 million.The CPK official was hosting several VR concerts in VRchat on the Sanrio live stage which were all very successful (it's Kaguya performing the HoneyWorks song) and they did a crowdfunding campaing with merch to create a Tsukuyomi themed world in VRchat. The funding exceeded 1000% within a week.
This movie has gotten more art in under 2 months than even most popular mainstream anime get in a year. It's literally hundreds every single day (thousands in the first few weeks).
Did you really think after 3 threads worth of analyses and pixel hunting we found every single detail in this movie?Hahahah ahahahhahahNo.Look at the flowers in Iroha's and Kaguya's hair during the summer festival. These are bellflowers. Their meaning in the flower language is "Gratitude and Romance".Different colors have different connotations, but the core theme is gratitude and romance. The absolute genius of that choice should be obvious.They are both incredibly grateful for each other's existence as they saved each other. And I dont have to explain the romantic feelings of course. These animators arent being subtle about their gayness most of the time, but its nice when they are ALSO subtle on top of being unsubtle. It's like a feedback loop!
Sticking with the flower theme, what the hell do you think the daisies from the final shot of the Ray MV represent?In the language of flowers, daisies symbolize "new beginnings and rebirth, in addition to love, cheerfulness, beauty, purity, innocence, hope, fun, and affection. They’re also commonly given to new mothers as a symbol of childbirth and motherhood."Literally above love for each other (duh)rebirth (aka Kaguya becoming human again)and motherhood (they both have mommy complexes about each other that are too insane to even get into)
The most emotionally hard hitting scene of the movie seems pretty gayforward, but what if I said there was a point to even the location?Iroha and Yachiyo are sitting upon the ocean's surface without sinking. The entire movie, all of Yachiyo's theming was around being inside the ocean. During Starry Seas she makes the water rise. She is always ocean themed and being represented by deep sea creatures. It's implied in her songs and with her name that Yachiyo is literally drowning in 8000 years worth of tears that turned into an entire ocean. The ocean represents her sorrow and long journey. This is why in the Ray MV Tsukuyomi (god of moon and seas) is turned into Amaterasu (goddess of the sun).Why does this matter here? Because for the first time Yachiyo is above the ocean surface. It's because she is with Iroha that she finally no longer sinking. And Iroha's determination turns the world from night/dusk to the light of day in the end.
When Roka and Mami talk about going to the beach again next year, the movie does an intentional close up shot to a melancholy looking Yachiyo. It's so subtle I literally never paid attention to it.
THIS FUCKINGTRAIN...is not random. No, I am serious. This freaking stupid train is the most insane and deep reference in the whole goddamn movie!!!!Miyazawa Kenji. An incredibly famous Japanese author of children's stories. He wrote (and never finished before his death) a book called "Night on the Galactic Railroad". In it a boy and his best friend travel the stars on a galactic train.It's a story about self-sacrifice and attaining happiness against all odds. The book was never finished, but it was released and reworked nontheless. Some versions are bleaker, while others are more hopeful. It's an old tale that was adapted over and over again with different ideas and values... just like the Bamboo Cutter tale.I don't think I need to say more. It's clear what the point of the train is now, no?
During the beach themed concert, the trio are all wearing these long sleeves that have different colors and themes. Yachiyo's looks like a fish of course and has actual holographic fish swim through it, being the only fully transparent one (representing her holographic nature).Also the three (unlike back up dancers Roka and Mami) are wearing these puffed seethrough skirts which are shaped like jellyfish.
SPEAKING OF JELLYFISHDid you know that the jellyfish(es) Yachiyo combines with to multiply in her concert are actually known as the "immortal jellyfish"? These things can literally live forever. SUBTLE
To those who are not aware, these scenes in the ray MV are direct references to the original music video by Bump of CHICKEN, the original creators of the song. In which they perform around some weird electical pillar. In which for some reason Hatsune Miku appears, who the main singer than does the high give with.As if Yachiyo being Hatsune Miku wasnt obvious enough in the main movie.
You may be asking "Anon, what the fuck is wrong with you?"I can't answer that.Anyway, even I am reaching on this one, but it's just too much of a coincidence and I have stopped believing in those because of this goddamn movie!In the vital and important 1 second bubble bath scene, Kaguya creates a bubble castle... which look very similar to the TANOSHII KINGDOM image she creates later at the summer festival (which gets again referenced in one of the photos of Kaguya's comeback concert post time-skip).Also the bubble "clothes" on her look extrmemely similar to the fluffy pajamas she wears in the [Yes] pillow scene during the epilogue MV. I dont care if there is no point in foreshadowing these things!
Also I remember you guy from 3 threads ago who said that this movie theater scene takes place after the timeskip! You somehow failed to notice that Kaguya is wearing her moon hairpin in it, which proves that it's actually pre-time-skip. So it seems Iroha and Kaguya actually casually hung out with Yachiyo before their big collab concert.
>>4536680Is it true all 3 are in their loli forms here?
>>4536692Kaguya and Iroha have no "loli forms". And no, they are all normal size. Do your eyes not work?
>>4536656>>4536657Reminder that the whole Light Novel has been fully translated to English by DNCyun.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bS2QVdUY2Fafm_CYCuNIt4UsfohLlUZXRead it!
What did she mean by this
>>4536657>nationwide cinema release in JapanQuestion. How does the fake credits thing work in the cinema? Did they actually bother to make it look like cinema credits instead of Netflix credits?
>>4536373>It was different at the end in the last one so hopefully someone translates it.fuuuuck, really??? I had to do stuff that day so I couldn't be there but now I'm sad.
>>4536698Yes but I don't know exactly how because I haven't seen pictures, just people mentioning they changed the gag.
>>4536702 mehttps://youtu.be/2mN6wAJlgGw I do believe that this shows the different ending. No subs though
>>4536703Honestly, that on top of adding the ray MV really shows some high level of care that you just dont get from most movies.
I just read some Jap's comment on a video review of the movie that went something like this:"I am going to be honest, I hate yuri. I even detest it. It's because my ex-girlfriend once cheated on me with another woman. But I still loved Chou Kaguyahime! Why? Because it's love. Love! Gender has nothing to do with it, it's just such a pure love."Dude was cucked by lesbians and still saw the light of yuri because of this movie. This is impressive.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2030911977900658688The movie made the nationwide top 10 for all three weekends it had a limited release. From this weekend on it will be nationwide itself so it will definitely go up.
>>4536708Just imagine that... a movie that only ran in like 30 cinemas somehow made it into the Top 10 repeatedly. I can't tell if this says more about how dead cinema is in Japan or how strong CPK is.
Oh no. They found out about the lesbian sex slave!..oh sorry, they are just checking up on the kidnapped baby.
Oh wow, I never noticed that before those fake credits, Iroha actually returned to her old one-room appartment and the telephone pole Kaguya was born from... finally this scene makes way more sense.
>>4536658I feel the amount is comparable only to Sulemio, and that had the big advantage of being a weekly anime that remained relevant for nine months.
So Analysis Anon, did you connect the shot of Kaguya sitting alone on the rock at the start of the 8000 years montage to the Danish statue of the Little Mermaid? The pose isn't the same, but they're both non-human beings who left their world and fell in love with a human they saved and turn into "spirits" who'll have to wait a long time to become human.
https://x.com/keihaku0817/status/2030931338145275934The day of Kaguya's "birth" i.e. human incarnation is July 5th, her "death" i.e. losing her body and returning to the moon is September 12th. The time inbetween is 1,680 hours.
>>4536724You FOOL! This is a Japanese tale, so obviously that is preposterous. Instead Yachiyo is actually clearly based around Otohime from the tale of Umashiro Taro. She is an undersea princess who entertains a human who did a good deed (saving a turtle). After what seems like days of entertainment he returns to the surface only to find out that centuries have passed. He is depressed and open the gift box given to hum by Otohime despite her warning him not to do that. It instantly ages him up to an old man, because she sealed his old age in the box.Let's get this out of the way, Iroha is Urashima Taro. But in a subversion of the fairy tale, Iroha chooses to open the "box" willingly and instead of her own old age, it contains all the memories of 8000 years, which should probably break any regular human's mind. But Iroha doesn't give a shit about what fairy tales think should happen. Happy Endings all the way.As for what Iroha's good deed was that deserved her undying attention and "entertainment" by Otohima/Yachiyo? Saving baby Kaguya and "raising" her at no benefit of her own.
>>4536726IMPOSSIBLE! Nobody, absolutely nobody could have possiby caluclated this beforehand! Also you dont know what time she exactly spawned in the telephone pole or when the exact time is she was taken back, so it probably is at least a couple of hours off.
>>4536735Are you sure that this is the kind of all movies is one you can make such careless remarks about? We actually got extremely accurate time stamps for both right before Kaguya's arrival and Kaguya's goodbye.It's 22:34 around the time Iroha sees the "meteor". Taking into account the time it took her to get to her appartment afterwards, we could say that she most likely opened the door to the telephone pole around 22:40.The payment Kaguya sent to Iroha before she left arrived at 22:49, but Kaguya was alreafy gone by then, so it was probably automated or delayed. If we consider how long Iroha and the rest stood around after Kaguya disappeared and how long it took Iroha to log out and stumble around in a stupod, she may very well have disappearer exactly at 22:40.This is not the kind of movie you can claim does anything by accident.
>>4536736Speaking of that phone screen, has anyone translated the social media feed of Yachiyo's account there? Also why is her username "Nihohe"? YCY is obviously Yachiyo, but I dont get the first part.
Lady and the Fox.
>>4536739https://100poets.com/2024/09/24/the-iroha-poem/
>>4536753This is sheer and utter insanity. Every single frame has 100 layers of meaning?! Absolutely everything involving Yachiyo somehow ends up spelling out Iroha again??
>>4536753Are you saying in this universe Yaccho is the one who created the poem?
>>4536762I recognize the Kannazuki no Miko homage every time. It's so iconic.
Honestly, I don't think the role swap AU is such a bad idea. Iroha definitely has the capacity to be a taciturn secretive Lunarian who is slowly being pried open by the cheerful normal human girl Kaguya. And people have correctly assessed that a Iroha version of Yachiyo with a mysterious kitsune admin design would be incredible.
>>4536769She is still a producer, the same way Yachiyo was still a songstress. Going for just 1000 years seems a little weird, but then again, I feel like the only reason they made Yachiyo 8000 years old was for the name pun. It would have made way more sense if she was 800 years old when the Kaguya legend was actually written.
>>4536698>>4536703They just fullscreened the minimized credits on the top left of the netflix fakeout for the movie version.
>>4536769There is kind of the fundamental issue that this wouldn't really fit the Kaguya myth anymore though, which the movie really revolves around.
This is my first order of kaguya doujinshi (and some other yuri). Hopefully the first of many.
>>4536773Fine, brainstorming time.-Kaguya is still the princess from the moon, but she landed on Earth without memories and was raised by normal humans (probably grandpa and grandma like in the original tale) for 17 years, like a proper girl-Kaguya has a extremely important code inside her that is necessary for the Lunarians purposes, so they need to get her back-Iroha is a Lunarian actually tasked with sniffing her out so they can take her back-Iroha gets completely and utterly infatuated with Kaguya and realizes that the freedom here on Earth is what she should have instead of going to the moon to become a cog in the machine-When the Lunarians come for Kaguya, Iroha tries to protect her, but it's hopeless, so she takes Kaguya's royal seal (the code) for herself and time travels to lure the Lunarians away-Iroha sacrifices herself to keep watch over the seal of royalty that would designate Kaguya as the target for 1000 years-Eventually she incorporates the sacred code into creating Tsukuyomi. She intended to gift the source code of Tsukuyomi to the Lunarians from the start, but couldn't afford to create a time paradox, so she waited until her past version set off on her time travel-The Lunarians will take Tsukuyomi, which also means taking Iroha who has become fused with its code-Kaguya uses her natural gifts as the moon princess to create an android body for Iroha to upload into before Tsukuyomi is absorbedI dunno, I came up with this on the fly, so it's full of holes. Ultimately this does take away from the whole "Kaguya has to return to the moon" thing, but rather than the happy ending being that she stays, it's saving the one who made that possible in the first place.
>>4536779It would lend the whole thing a bit more gravity if there was some kitsune related character whose fairy tale you can project onto Iroha of course. But I'm not well versed with mythology enough to figure that part out.
>>4536775Sheesh. Where can you get these, melonbooks? They usually dont take any payment methods I have available, so I can't really do much with that.
>>4536785Have you tried Rakuten pay
>>4536785Yeah it is melon. You can get an amex as the easy way to buy from them but like anon said I heard rakuten pay works with visa now although I never tried it.
>>4536790I have no idea how that works.>>4536791I don't have those stupid American credit cards. Neither Visa nor Mastercard. That's kinda the point. These days most online shops only accept those credit cards or Japanese payment methods I also have no access to. Things were easier when I could just use Paypal...
Would someone buy Animedia this month?https://x.com/iid_animedia/status/2030918603076522264
>>4536793In that case I think you can just use a proxy that lets you pay them with a bank account. I think they may not like r18 items but most of them are all ages so far.
>>4536795I didn't buy the last one because someone posted the pages with the kaguya stuff on it and it is only a couple pages in the magazine anyway. Probably will see pictures of the new interview pages pop up somewhere soon.
>>4536795>the voice actresses will talk about the relationship between Iroha and KaguyaI think you shouldn't expect anything from this. PR is always muzzling the cast to keep things as vague as possible. They will just say some generic stuff about how they are supporting each other and be done with it. The thing about Kaguya falling in love during the gurgling scene might be the most explicit this kind of interview ever got.I think both Natsuyoshi and Nagase are plenty aware that their characters are lovers, but they will probably never openly talk about that part in any official print media/magazines.
>>4536695>Iroha's mother giving shit to the underage daughter she doesn't even support I hope Iroha's apology was just for college money
>>4536802The general idea is that her mom thinks she is too soft and won't last in this scenario. She is totally willing to support her if she stays with her, but Iroha wants to be independant and to do that her mother, who is an insane superwoman who has carried her entire family on her back since she was a high schooler like Iroha, sees this as an all or nothing deal. Become strong enough to do it all on your own or do as mother says.
From Comptiq February issue -Next, I'd like to ask about the characters you both play. What kind of people are Kaguya and Iroha?Natsuyoshi: Kaguya is quite free-spirited, or rather, she's a girl who stands out for how she influences those around her with her innocent cheerfulness. On the other hand, she has an atmosphere that makes you think she's mature and at times enlightened, so I find that gap interesting. She's classified as a "mysterious person from the moon" or an "alien," but she's also a good cook and has a somewhat down-to-earth side, so when I was playing her, I didn't feel too much pressure and approached her as just a "interesting girl." As she meets and befriends Iroha, she comes to understand human emotions and starts to show consideration for Iroha, which allows Kaguya's heart to grow significantly. So, I think you can enjoy the character's gradation from the Kaguya at the beginning to the Kaguya at the end of the story.-Are there any parts of her that you see in yourself?Natsuyoshi: I also have a personality where I can't really put on a front. During photoshoots, even if they tell me to "pose cutely!" I can't help but joke around and go "Yay!" (laughs). I feel a sense of kinship with that "slightly weird girl" aspect of her.On the other hand, when talking with Iroha, there's this part where she says "But..." and kind of admonishes Iroha or steps back to view things objectively - that's something I can relate to as an adult.
>>4536805Nagase: The common ground between Iroha and me is how we both tend to read people's faces or worrying about their opinions, to the point where we suppress the sparkle and excitement we once held dear. Lately, I've started to feel that there are surprisingly a lot of people who think the same way. I also get really bothered by what people say to me, and sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't show the feelings and wishes that are important to me on the outside. But even though Iroha has that side to her, I think it's wonderful how she's determined to live life with a positive outlook. That's why the moments where her slightly negative thoughts peek through feel so heart-wrenching. But then Kaguya appears before her, and that sparkle she felt as a child comes back. So as we reach the later parts, she becomes increasingly reluctant to part with Kaguya...-In that respect, Kaguya is better at calmly accepting reality and taking action, isn't she?Nagase: Exactly. Kaguya is someone who knows how to draw a line. Iroha, on the other hand, is the type to get very attached. I'm the same way, so I feel a connection with her on that point as well.
>>4536805>>4536806It's so funny to me that the boisterous and nearly untamable Kaguya ends up having a much more reasonable side to her than the total mess who only keep up appearances that is Iroha. Kaguya can tell what things are actually important, because she doesnt lie to herself. But her desires are so boundless that she will still overstep lines.Iroha is always trying to follow the model her mother set for her and is really intent on pursuing her goals while pleasing everyone outwardly, but she can't actually hold up this lifestyle and once Kaguya frees her from those chains she becomes incredibly greedy and unstoppable in a more honest way than before.
>>4536695It's interesting that in the novel, 10 years later, Kaguyabot is the first body, while in the movie is definetly not the first and it's ready for a live perfomances. Seems like the novel author was a little more realistic with the time it would need to make a robo waifu, while the movie went fairytale because there are not enough years in human lifetime to waste not enjoying your wife
This exchange has confused to many people and caused so many misunderstandings.... but I think this banter is quite obvious once you understand the context.Kaguya is saying it's been a while and Iroha teasingly says "Like 8000 years?", because it's Yachiyo inside the Kaguya body. It's been 8000 years since she last performed as Kaguya.Meanwhile Yachiyo says it's been just last week for her, because the Yachiyo persona probably held a concert just last week.It's not about how they are two separate people right now, but rather about what persona does what. Both of them are Yachiyo, it's just that Yachiyo hasn't been specifically Kaguya for that long.
>>4536810Completely unrelated, but I really like that Yaccho is weating shorts under the skirt. It's something that was mentioned before, but the movie goes out of its way to sexualize the girls as little as possible. Even though Yachiyo can probably just turn everything under her skirt dark because she is just a hologram, they display how practical her clothes are. No pantyshots, no stupid sexy outfits. The performance outfits are somewhat gaudy, but never horny. It's so refreshing. Kaguya and Iroha in private always wear really lax clothes and short pants. Even when Kaguya just seemingly wears Iroha's shirt, it never unnaturally accentuates her chest or anything. Just like real loose clothes would mostly hide your curves.The most fetishy thing that any girl in the movie wears is maybe Kaguya's crescent moon cut-out in her Tsukuyomi outfit and it's so subtle most people don't even notice it. Or maybe it's Roka exposing her midriff? But that seems more stylish than sexy.Okay, there is Otaku whose giant bouncy cleavage is a bit much, but she is a performer who is clearly doing it on purpose.
>>4536695Who is DNCyun?
>>4536811
>>4536810It's not the exchange that confuses people, it's the Yachiyo situation in general, since Kaguya isn't a virtual being anymore, so it's not clear whether she's still somehow simultaneously operating Yachiyo herself, or if it's just an autonomous AI now, or whatever else.The lack of clarity on details is one of the few weak points of the movie.
>>4536817The translator.
>>4536834It's very clear that it's the former and there is no indication of anything else.Also I have seen plenty of people who qere specifically more confused because of the exchange.
>>4536659I always thought these were lilies.Though either way it still has a romantic connotation.
any news about plushies?
>>4536843Not as of now.
>>4536840>It's very clear that it's the formerSo her robot body has wi-fi and she can operate thorugh it without any physical input? That's as fair an assumption as any, so much for becoming a normal human though.It's also odd she takes a Yachiyo around on a phone when she's alone with Iroha doing non-streaming stuff, guess she might like the roleplay.>people who qere specifically more confused because of the exchangeWell, I have no doubt there's lots of retards to be found within a mainstream audience, but that's kinda beside the point.
>>4536853Yachiyo stays on during sex.
>>4536783There's the Tale of Tamamizu, its about a fox that falls in love with a high ranking girl and transforms into a human girl to become her attendant and stay close to her. Then they start getting along really well until various stuff happens and the fox decides to go away and leaves a love poem for the girl to read, and they never meet again. Even has a sad ending like the original Kaguya-hime tale. https://rmda.kulib.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/item/rb00013653/explanation/otogi_01
I kinda don't get it, like was there a scene that explains how Kaguya ended up in the robot body? Or a scene where she actually came back?
Yuri science, I ain't gotta explain shit
Turns out you can get Animedia and Animage for free if you subscribe to kindle unlimited. The animage one is interview with the 3 VAs and the director, haven't checked it yet but it looks like it worth more than Animedia.
>>4536928It's certainly worth it.
—What were your thoughts when you read the scenario for this work?Natsuyoshi: I received some incredibly thick materials with settings and other information in addition to the script, and there were many parts I didn't understand just by reading it once. But to put it simply, it's a love story between Kaguya, Iroha, and Yachiyo. Once I thought of it that way, I could understand it smoothly, but even so, when I watched the main story again, there were many times I had realizations like, "What about Yachiyo's line at that time?" It's a work that's worth theorizing about, so it makes me want to see everyone's reactions and theories.Nagase: During the voice recording sessions, Director Yamashita made a chronological chart and would explain, "This is where we are recording from now." Thanks to that, we were able to record without getting confused. Also, Director Yamashita always said that "fate cannot be changed" was also a theme of the work. At first, I thought those were cruel words, but as I read the scenario, Kaguya's positive feeling of "even if a fate of parting awaits, I'll make it a happy ending" came through. I think that single-mindedness is what makes the work so interesting.
—What is your impression of Kaguya and Iroha's relationship?Natsuyoshi: At first, Kaguya was always pushing Iroha around, like spending her money without permission, but it was impressive how she gradually started to show concern for Iroha as the story progressed. Kaguya had her own philosophy of wanting everyone to be happy. But I think there's no doubt she came to think that way because she was with Iroha. That's why they were both tearing up while watching the fireworks festival. They have a bond that can't be described with just the word "friendship."Nagase: I think at first, Iroha had this slightly conceited idea that "I can do anything." Through her encounter with Kaguya, she became a proper, life-sized girl. I think they're indispensable to each other, mutually influencing one another. Personally, I found it memorable when Kaguya told Iroha "I want to marry you," and Iroha replied, "If you'll split the living expenses." I thought, "Iroha is surprisingly easy" (laughs).Natsuyoshi: I feel like for Kaguya, rather than romantic feelings... she fell for Iroha as a person, which is why she said "I want to marry you." It was an interesting line that also seemed to link to the original 'Tale of the Bamboo Cutter'Nagase: For Iroha, too, I think she was happy to have Kaguya, who would praise her so directly and tell her she liked her. But she was too embarrassed to say it back directly, so the words "if you'll split the living expenses" came out. This is what's so cute about Iroha.
—Please tell us your impression of Yachiyo as well!Natsuyoshi: Her aura is just incredible, no matter what. From her very first live scene, there's this convincing power that says, "This is a top Streamer." Combined with Saori Hayami's wonderful acting and singing voice, I think she's a truly captivating character.Nagase: Ms. Hayami's acting has this incredible sense of inclusiveness. When you see her interactions with Kaguya, you think, "That enveloping kindness when she's with Iroha is a performance only Ms. Hayami could deliver." Also, Yachiyo has a habit of saying, "It's okay," but when I rewatch the series, I wonder if it was imbued with the nuance of "it will definitely be a happy ending." The affection she sometimes shows for Iroha in that way makes my heart skip a beat.Natsuyoshi: I love the exchange between Kaguya and Yachiyo before Kaguya's graduation live. At that moment, Kaguya's feelings for Iroha and for humanity itself overflow, and she mutters, "If I were Yachiyo, I wonder if I could have captivated her more." In response, Yachiyo cheerfully replies, "Only you could have done it, Kaguya," which is just so wonderful. It was such a moving scene that even now, just talking about it, I feel like I'm about to cry.Nagase: For me, the line that left the biggest impression was in the final act, when Yachiyo reveals the truth to Iroha: "The sparkling Princess Kaguya is an old lady now." It's sad, but Ms. Hayami perfectly portrayed Yachiyo trying her best to be cheerful. If someone said a line like that with that tone of voice, anyone would cry. It was just that amazing of a performance.
>>4536806More gargling propaganda.
>>4536754Do you want to hear something more interesting? I read on Xitter that Princess Kaguya is based on Konohana no Sakuyahime, the goddess of volcanoes, specifically Mount Fuji. She has an older sister named Iwanagahime, the goddess of immortality. Their father sent them both to be married to Ninigi-no-Mikoto (the grandson of Amaterasu). He married Konohana-no-Sakuya-hime but rejected Iwanagahime because she's ugly. Because of this rejection, Iwanagahime cursed him, the emperors, and all human beings to live ephemeral lives.
>>4536941> At that moment, Kaguya's feelings for Iroha and for humanity itself overflow, and she mutters, "If I were Yachiyo, I wonder if I could have captivated her more.This is interesting cause it’s meant to be a pair with Iroha’s scene in the novel, I assumed this is exclusively about Iroha due to the novel but humanity is still included here in the object.
>>4536934>But to put it simply, it's a love story between Kaguya, Iroha, and Yachiyo.Wow, that's shockingly and refreshingly frank for an official interview. What went right?
>>4536949It’s 愛の物語 not ラブストーリー, which allows for non-romantic read easily for those insisting it’s not gay.
>>4536949It's a seiyuu interview, i'm not sure why but seiyuu have no issues talking about the gay of the characters they portray. I remember Nana Mizuki in a bonus material of A's saying she voiced Fate in a way that was obvious she was blushing because she liked Nanoha and that was ancient as hell, it's probably still around YouTube too.It's producers that are a bunch of pleasing cowards, remember the censored SuleMio interview too.
>>4536863Yachiyo gets transfered into the android body. I dont know why you needed a scene to make the connection....
>>4536948I dont think she means all of humanity, but rather the concept of being human. Those feelings and freedom that she adores. She doesnt really need ro captivate the masses more, she wants Iroha specifically and taste that human spirit more. Yachiyo is the kind of presence who clearly can do whatever she wants and ger Iroha's love easily too.
>>4536936Finally someone drew the miko pose.
>>4536936>>4537007Are you retarded? >>4536762
>>4536859Uh... so Japanese mythology actually had doomed yuri all along??
>>4536668I watched that old adaptation of the Cosmic Railway. This unlocked some core memory. I remember it being quite sad, but also full of wonder. It makes me glad that CPK referenced it. Heck it probably wants to tell us that even that story can have a happy ending.
>>4536657What the hell is wrong with Kaguya's legs? They are way too long. This is supposed to be professional art!
https://www.cho-kaguyahime.com/news/detail.html?id=923New interview, this time with the author of the novel adaptationIn English
>>4537031>Libers
>>4537058I saw chinks complain that the previous interview with the mangaka felt machine-translated from Japanese, it may be the case in English too.
>>4537031This interview is a lot better than most I have read. They still somehow don't talk about how much more explicit the romantic feelings are in the novel, what a shame. But it still gave good insight.>Yamashita: I think Cosmic Princess Kaguya! contains quite a lot of shoujo-manga-like sensibilities, so that’s probably where we resonated. Actually, a lot of the staff on this project are women—the original creator and the scenario writer are both women. This explains so much. The original scenario was written by a woman. That puts the way the romance is handled into a different perspective. No offense to Yamashita, it seems he was very passionate about conveying ALL the aspects of the setting, including Iroha's and Kaguya's love for each other. But I doubt he is the one who came up with it being yuri. He did mention that a male protag was considered once, but they didn't feel like that was a good approach. So maybe that was the scenario writer's input. Just speculation.It's also interesting that they do seem self-aware that the movie was a bit lacking on dealing with Iroha's mother drama properly. That's why the novel explicitely expanded on that.They also mention the Yachiyo/Iroha scene before the final battle that mirrors Kaguya/Yachiyo's exchange, which I think is one of the best additions to the novel. It's good to see that the writers are self-aware of what the novel really adds. >there are very few scenes where Iroha talks with people other than Kaguya—like Roka and Mami. To portray Iroha’s personality, I do think scenes like that would have been better. But if we were going to include them, they would have had to be in the first half. However, even after cutting a lot, the runtime was still long. Anime is really hard (laughs).I can't imagine how much was left on the cutting room foor... I want to see the complete 4 hours version of this movie!
>>4537059It's actually very natural outside of that one weird spelling of Livers, so I don't think so. But the image quality is absolute garbage. Why could they not get a less pixelated cover art on their own website?!
>>4537061I understand them wanting the focus to be squarely on Iroha and Kaguya for the movie. An extended cut with more scenes between Iroha and her friends and Iroha and her mom would be a nice bonus, but I don't think the movie as-is is weaker for not including them. Its emotional core is laser-focused as a result.
>>4537062I think they degraded its size by purpose.You can reach into original image easily by editing url.https://www.news.cho-kaguyahime.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/%E3%83%8E%E3%83%99%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA%E6%9B%B8%E5%BD%B1.jpg
>>4537065I'm not saying the movie is worse off for it, I just want more. Even as just a bonus OVA with SoL scenes.I think Iroha's junior at work is really cute and there would be about 5000 more harem artworks by now if she had appeared in the movie properly. She is so clearly down bad for Iroha.
>>4537061>I can't imagine how much was left on the cutting room foor... I want to see the complete 4 hours version of this movie!You probably know this already, but I'll just clarify that there isn't a complete longer version of this film. Animation is expensive, so animators generally try to lock down all the scenes before they're fully animated. If these scenes made it out of the script phase, they'd probably be just storyboards.
>>4537078I think they totally do have some scenes they at the very least went through the key animation with that were cut. Yamashita keeps mentioning how they had to cut stuff last minute to reduce the runtime and they were struggling to think what stuff was actually absolutely necessary and what stuff could be cut, even if they didnt want to. Clearly they already put some of the leftovers into the Ray MV.But yeah I am not saying there is just 2 hours of actual extra animation around. I'm saying I want the full 4 hour version of the original storyboard.
>>4537031Kinda sad that they didnt bring up the inner monologue of Iroha to her dead father about how much she loves Kaguya. If anything I think that is the most memorable addition. Though the way the final conversation with Yachiyo went in the novel was also a standout, totally agreed.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2031203405549502551How many official management teams actually go out of their way to convert half their major release movie into high quality gifs for free use while their movie is still running in theaters?I don't care about all the management deification culture otakus have in Japan, but I have to admit, CPK PR has been on a goddamn roll for 2 months straight.40+ new gifs from the movie for anyone who wants them.
>Remember MV released 12/26.>Reply MV released 3/10.>70 days x 24 =1680 hours.
>>4537093And where are you getting the 24 from...?
>>4537094Did you finish grade school?
>>4536657https://x.com/GLFes/status/2031257935222038610/photo/1Worth mentioning that this Kaguya doujin event is specificall yuri only, which suits us best. It's part of GLfest (Girls' Love)I mean 90% of works are always gonna be yuri anyway, but there are the occasional fujos who focus on Mikado and Noi or on something completely romance unrelated, so it's cool to narrow it down even more.
>>4537098Are you a moron? Nothing in the post indicates a 24. Where are you getting the 24 from? While we are at it, Dec 26 - March 3rd is not 70 days...
>>4537104*March 10th
>>4537093The Reply MV came out on 3/5...
>>4536712Kinda nuts how they never checked up on that concerning af call.
>>4537108I did the math using 3/5 but mistakenly posted today's date, 3/10. If you include 12/26 and 3/5 it's 70 days. >>453710424 hours in a day.
>>4536676After that post about the AC in Iroha's room, nothing surprises me anymore.

>>4537203
>>4537061Do we know the original creator and writer names? I looked it up but didn't find anyone with those titles. I'd be interested in seeing their other work or at least following their future endevours since they clearly proved their are capable of something special.
>>4537277I have no idea who they are. But you should be aware that this is a collaborative effort and we dont really know who pushed for what aspects of the story. I mean yeah, Yamashita is a battle animation fag so you can expect that most of the Kassen stuff was his idea, but he insisted on how much he wanted to do a female protag/shoujo like story and I dont doubt him. Similarly animators, song writers and editors have a huge influence on how the movie is shaped. Not to mention all the improv and on the fly additions.
>>4537169We farmed most of the relevant stuff anyway and it's a lot easier to OCR the guidebook, but this is still very nice. Gotta add it to the OP's paste.
>>4537201Nani the fuck?!
>>4537277Only two screen play writers listed is the director and this woman:https://anidb.net/creator/56055
I'm going to need one of the hundreds of upcoming doujins to depict their wedding taking place in the real world and Tsukuyomi at the same time.
>>4537304We never saw the Tsukuyomi part of the "simultaneous concert" at the end, so I am kinda wondering how it works. Are there holograms of Iroha and Kaguya in Tsukuyomi alongside Yachiyo? Because they would need to close their eyes to actually interact in VR. In that case it has to be a projection.
>>4537307We do see the simultaneous concert in the Ray MV, though in that case 90% of what we see is the Tsukuyomi portion.
>>4537308No we don't. The summer live concer has nothing to do with the comeback concert.
>>4537309Watch the MV again. There's a glimpse of the real world part of the concert. The stage is even set like the stage in Bump of Chicken's original music video for Ray.
>>4537310Uh no... this is a scene from the comeback concert that happened at the end of the movie. That's the Ray music video they are referencing.The Tsukuyomi swimsuit concerrt thing is coompletely unrelated to this. They don't remotely do the same moves, nor do they have the same positions. Roka and Mami aren't even here. Also Iroha is playing the guitar, which she isnt in the summer concert.Like on every level it's obvious these are not related. And my entire point was that we never see the simultaneous Tsukuyomi concert during the comeback concert.
An energy drink brand is now gonna release CPK themed ones... we are like half a step away from pancake brands collabing with this anime.https://x.com/zone_energy_jp/status/2031671472003989651
>>4537286Never seen selfcest before?
>>4537203>>4537204I find it funny how many artists keep giving Kaguyabot and adult Iroha some heigh gap, even though both the final scene of the movie and the Ray MV clearly showed that they are the same height, because Iroha gave Kaguya and adult body.
Never leave.
Lemme know if I pegged this rightIroha: Lesbian. No inhibitions about her sexuality, but also doesn't care about romance (too busy being a girlfailure). Rejects guys politely. Has zero gaydar, so she never noticed Roka's feelings. Is tsundere, but not enough to actually reject a marriage proposal from her crush.Kaguya: Lesbian. Overtly anti-het when she encounters it. Is fine hanging out with guys or male fans, but also gets off on her girlfriend beating up males. Completely resistant and actively appalled by pick-up tactics used by ikemen like Black OnyX.Yachiyo: Mellowed out with age and supports everyone's happiness and romance, regardless of sexuality. Still a lesbian with a singular focus on Iroha though. Generally disinterested in sexual stuff unless it's Iroha.Roka: Lesbian. High level gaydar and social skills, but insecure about pursuing relationships. Can objectively tell if a guy is popular, but only in an academic sense. Uses her fashion and make-up hobby/job to get to enjoy dressing up and prettying up cute girls. Has no inhibitions with skinship.Mami: Bi? Seems to find Iroha attractive and has this "I would date both siblings" bislut energy. Ultimately settled for the easy boring hetshitter path though. Black OnyX: Gaylords. But allies who will in fact spend all the money they duped out of clueless yumejoshi het girls to support a lesbian creating a futuristic android body for her girlfriend. They get a pass.
>>4537414I choose to believe Akira/Asahi's yumebait act was genuine at first but he was gradually broken down by Noi's max-level twink shenanigans because it's more fun.
>>4537414Depending on how seriously you take Noi's comments about wanting an avatar android body too, they might be trans.
>>4537421The avatar is male too and it's not like there's a rule against having an avatar of the opposite gender since we know one of the top ten streamers is a guy using a female avatar.
>>4537421Still just a gay guy as far as /u/ is concerned.
>>4537414>has zero gaydarIt's even more obvious if you consider that she seemed to be genuinely surprised when Kaguya confessed to her. Like she didnt pick up the 1 billion hints up to that concert. Roka at leaet was hiding it. Kaguya was giving zero mixed signals.At least post confession she is clearly treating Kaguya more like a girlfriend and openly shows affection, even if her worry about their parting overshadows it. That goes along with the part about her not being insecure about her sexuality I guess.
>>4537459>That goes along with the part about her not being insecure about her sexuality I guess.Her reaction to Kaguya's marriage proposal also heavily implies this. She's taken aback by the confession but then immediately rolls with the proposal.
>>4537460Honestly so refreshing. At around halfway through the movie they are already emotionally aligned to the point where transitioning into dating ia completely natural for them. IroKagu's relationship challenges are basically all external.
I'm fully convinced that if the lunarians hadn't come to mess things up at the concert then the fireworks date would have pushed their relationship to them starting to officially date. Iroha giving that tsundere "not fully clear yes" response to Kaguya's proposal would have left things still bit too out in the open. Then the fireworks date would have given them the needed romantic mood to have the heart to heart to finally take the step to make it official.On the topic of the fireworks date. The scene where Roka and Mami tell Iroha about the fireworks. After asking Iroha where Kaguya was and Iroha telling them she was busy with the fish the novel adds these couple lines of them going "then now it the perfect timing" before showing the flyer. Implying they wanted to give the flyer to iroha without Kaguya knowing. To me that subtly changes the reading of what they are saying from the more neutral "hey you and Kaguya should go to see this together" to them more forwardly telling Iroha "take this and go ask Kagugya on a date". The novel also adds lines of Iroha thinking about how Roka and Mami are the type to finish their summer homework early. Showing that Iroha knows they were lying to give her an excuse to go alone with Kaguya.
>>4537501I feel like that whole RokaMami wingwoman situation came across pretty clear in the movie too, but it's nice of the novel to make it even more blatant.
>>4536842Lillies might have been too on the nose desu. Also lillies have less romantic connotations and are more about purity and beauty.
>>4536662That's seriously ... so beautiful. Thank you. I didnt think this scene could get any more tearjerkingly powerful, but here we are. It's the scene that every yuri anime will have to compete with for the next decade.
>>4537369It anything it seems Yachiyo is now smaller than both.
>>4537551Once again, getting this far off proportions is seriously dumb.
>>4537369That's just for when they're out in public. The teen body is for private moments.
IroP OverLimit cheat
>>4537615Several artists jumped on the idea of Iroha also using cheats in the final battle like that.
>>4537619
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnb_BVChIawLive performance of the 3D live on the official channel.
>>4537622This has the extra scene at the end where she says "let's meet next time" so I guess they're either talking about the tsukuyomi VR thing they're making or that they're going to do more VRChat concerts.
>>4537637I'd like for them to record a different song performance at least. Having the same song every time is kinda boring. Kaguya has like 6 great songs just by herself already. If they add Yachiyo you got basically the whole soundtrack.
>>4537637It is about the VR event, they linked it on the official twitter: https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2032072031358124468
I'm sorry anons... I don't think I can survive school girl InuDOGE and Fushi. I must rest... and contemplate this new world.
>>4537657Oh my fucking god.I just realized how this parallels Kaguya/Yachiyo. The same person, changed from gold to silver. InuDOGE/Fushi went through the same change as its master.
>>4537312Actually Iroha is playing her keytar in the swimsuit concert. She throws it away to join the dancing when the chorus hits. That's why that is also when we get the reaction cam of Otakou shouting "IroP is dancing!!!"
>>4537789Yeah, they start in the same poses as the real world >>4537310
>>4537791Completely different distance.
>>4536938>Natsuyoshi: I feel like for Kaguya, rather than romantic feelings... she fell for Iroha as a person, which is why she said "I want to marry you.">s-she meant a non-romantic marriage!The denial is strong with this VA, guess it's true there's many nips who're still iffy about that kind of thing.
>>4537841She already talked about that moment in a previous interview. When Kaguya sees Iroha gargling, which she later flashes back to when she thinks to how she fell in love with Iroha at first sight, the instructions for her acting were that Kaguya was admiring Iroha's beauty as a human being, which she wasn't used to as an alien. I take it she means that's the trigger of Kaguya's feelings as opposed to commonly understood romantic feelings which aren't known to her at that point. Note that she calls it a love story earlier in the same interview.
>>4537842>Note that she calls it a love story恋 or 愛?
>>4537842>I take it she means that's the trigger of Kaguya's feelings as opposed to commonly understood romantic feelings which aren't known to her at that point.not buying this excuse, by the time she proposed she'd been on earth a while, and we specifically see her commenting the romantic ending to a movie, she 100% got the gist of romance by then, she's not an actual newborn, she's actually really clever despite her attitude claiming the marriage proposal wasn't backed by romantic feelings is nothing but disingenuous, she sounds like the anons on /a/ claiming SuleMio had a platonic wedding
>>4537844Neither, nothing she says refers unambiguously to romantic feelings, except when she denies them.
>>4537869You are reading someone'a translation of a interview though. Dont take it as 100% accurate.
>>4537844>>4537875
>>4537959I see a pattern now. This piece of shit actually rewrites the file name and shrunk it when his image spam gets blocked because the other anon already posted the same image >>4537874This walking garbage can literally reposts shit on purpose.
The official channel has been posting a bunch of art by famous mangaka who support the movie. This is one by Masashi Kishimoto, aka the guy who made Naruto. I think the fact that his work took so much inspiration from the Bamboo Cutter tale towards the end makes it a pretty good fit.
>>4538022They're reposts, they originally posted them when the movie came out on Netflix. They might post new ones eventually though.
>>4538023I see. Nontheless something that hasn't been brought up or posted here before.This one's by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsawman. This one makes more sense to me, because Yamashita worked on Chainsawman, so there is a connection. I have no idea how Kishimoto is involved with this.
Then you got this abomination by Gege Akutami, the guy from Jujutsu Kaisen. Even the Japs are making fun of the fact that he can't draw girls.Also Yamashita worked on JJK openings, so there is the connection.
I'm not posting the pic by Sosuke Touka, because it's a boy. But he is the author behind "Ranking of KIngs" which apparently Yamashita also did something for...
Every single MV on the official channel has surpassed 1 million views by now (Ex-Otogibanashi and Reply did it in like a week). All except Dreaming Island.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiovwU3mJNEThis song is way too underrated? I think it's impressive as this is basically a transitional song between Kaguya and Yachiyo and shows off Natsuyoshi's insane range. It's also a song by yuigot who made Remember.
>>4536656So here is something U've been wondering about... What does the EX in EX-Otogibanashi stand for? No really, think about it. Even in the context of the lyrics it's ambiguous.Is it EX- as in "former"? This could make sense. Yachiyo wrote it and she is basically formerly part of the Kaguya myth, but is now something else. She is literally not Kaguya anymore for all intents and purposes. Yachiyo keeps calling this whole story and time loop an insescapable fairy tale. But she is not really part of it anymore. More of a spectator. On the other hand all she knows is said fairy tale that repeats around her and that she does participate in. So at the point of the concert, she is not an EX-fairy tale. She is still part of one.Could the EX then stand for EXCEED? Japanese media has always used EX in that way for games and a lot of anime too. Exceed may not be grammatically fitting if you use it this way - "Exceed-Fairy Tale" sounds really stupid to an English speaker - but that's just a language barrier thing. If we ignore that and focus on the meaning then "exceeding the fairy tale" is pretty appropiate in its own way. They are goin beyond the fairy tale, that is the whole purpose of the movie. Get the happy ending beyond the tragic mythological ending. But this brings with it an even worse version of the prior issue. Yachiyo seems to be stuck with resigning to fate, so why would she title her song about her suffering and long wait for Iroha as exceeding fate? I think the point is that this song is one about longing and desires. She wants Iroha to realize who she is, she wants to be free of the grief and she wants to go beyond the conclusion she already knows.Thoughts?
>>4538022Wansn't the director part of the Naruto anime team? Maybe he actually knows Kishimoto and he wanted to support him
>>4538022I find it funny that Kaguya looks acceptable, but Iroha looks great.>>4538026I don't know if this is style or simple mediocrity.>>4538032>>Even the Japs are making fun of the fact that he can't draw girls.This is already incomprehensible to me. The guy has women in his series that I wouldn't call ugly, even if I only know the anime. The drawing feels saturated in many aspects, as if he tried to do more than necessary and the result is terrible.The irony in the end is that, let's be honest, Kaguya will have a better old age than those series, since it doesn't have silly controversy added to the work and is itself the pure product of what will be talked about for the rest of eternity.
>>4538160>Kaguya looks acceptable, but Iroha looks greatHe gave Kaguya the "blind eyes" similar to the Kaguya/Hyuga in the Naruto manga, which I think is at least a cute detail.
>>4538130Shingoyama directed OPs for the anime adaptations fo all mangaka that did collab art (Naruto, JJK, CSM):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BylkQHFemTwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwaRztMaoY0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFlDRhvM4L0
>>4538184Please dont post that Shounen trash here. It's one thing to talk about this as trivia for the movie, but this is really out of the scope of what you are allowed to post here.
>>4538102I just naturally assumed it was ex as in former. Never really even questioned it but you got a point. I wonder what the intention was
>>4538160According to the commentals it's well known that Akutami lets his assistants or other people draw all the cute girls in his manga. He seems fully aware of his limitations. I'm surprised he didnt just draw Mikado or another dude.
so what are we doing nowdoujins? fanfic?
just watched it, was expecting some light /u/ teasing, what I did not expect was a full-blown confirmed /u/ 2-hour long high budget movie by netflix. what did we do to deserve this?
>>45383778000 years of suffering a lack of good yuri anime adaptations. Karma has finally turned around.PS: Watch the epilogue music video in the OP please. Story isnt over.

>>4538022Instead of ninja hand signs he should have drawn them make the gay handshake.
>>4538102How about EXtreme? Yaccho was around in the 90s after all lol
>>4538102It is 100% the EX used in nerd shit to make something look special like a super attack or an extra thing on top of the ordinary thing.
>>4538475Skater girl Yachiyo just wants to tell Iroha how tubular she is...
>>4538512So... like a super fairy tale?
>>4538513Wow, this artist really messed up on Iroha's feet.
>>4538512Yeah, it's definitely Extra and refers to going beyond the original fairytale.
>>4538526I think calling it "Exceed" is more appropiate from the otaku perspective and carries the meaning better than "extra" (which has more of a "bonus" connotation), but otherwise I agree.
>>4538534It's just the common japanese usage so there is no real difference in its connotation whether extending EX into a real word or not since it isn't going to have an identical meaning to the english word. Extra, exceed, special, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, whatever. Same idea.
>>4538102Extremist, after some political views Yachiyo picked up in the 1930s that made her want to create a fantasy world that looks like Japan before the foreigners came.
>>4538524Tsukuyoki rendering problems, please understand.
>>4538579...the fireworks scene happened in the real world.
>>4538569Ah yes, medieval Japan. Where they had flying boats and arenas with giant otter statues the size of mountains. Not to mention all the Western comforts like spas and appliances.
>>4536657>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiSE1n_X4qUThat Reply MV is just so so so so good! It has so many extremely smart editing choices in it and really shows off the romance between Iroha and Kaguya in its most crystallized form.I especially love two parts. 3:00 "Tell me your true feelings and I will make them come true"They show Kaguya's "I love you" scene from before she disappears!! The second half of Reply are lyrics written by Iroha, so everything here are her feelings. The MV creator is literally telling us that Kaguya's love is reciprocated. Iroha will make her love come trueeee!3:30 "Always surrounded by all the ordinary things I love" This lyric is just symbolized by a hundred images of Kaguya flashing across the screen.... it's so amazing. This is literally just a confessiona nd shows the depth of Iroha's love even more than the song itself ever could.I'm legit crying about this MV. I've watched the movie a lot and I have to admit, I kinda took Kaguya for granted after a while. Yachiyo's suffering and nobility really draw me in and I find her relationship with Iroha so beautifully complex that our original feisty, cute and energetic Kaguya... somehow got a little lost along the tway. This MV reminded me of how much I truly love IroKagu and why it's so good. I really really love the dynamic between Kaguya and Iroha more than anything else in the movie.And the fact that the most innocent and cheerful existence in the world like her has to suffer through all the worst and dirtiest parts of human history until she loses her positivity and unbreakable confidence is heartwrenching.I'm already tearing up again....This is the greatest yuri story ever animated. The deep longing despite being so unabashedly in love in hands reach. The joy and understanding despite seeming always at odds. I love it all.
>>4538752>3:30 "Always surrounded by all the ordinary things I love" I just realized that this is in response to Kaguya singing the same lyircs in the first half at ... and in that moment they actually drew a heart next to Iroha's image on screen!!They are so goddamn in loooooove!Kaguya's version actually does have all the things she loves on screen. Dancing, singing, being praised, eating good food and streaming. But Iroha is in the center and the biggest of all with a heart next to her.This makes Iroha's response where all the things she loves are JUST Kaguya even MORE potent.Cyyyyyiiiiinggggg
>>4538752Also also also!Kaguya's lyrics are all in the digitized cutesy font, but Iroha's are all in the serious and heavy movie font. GAHAAAH
>>4538756AHHHHHHWhen I paid attention to the fonts, I realized that at the very end of Iroha's half of the song, Kaguya's font appears again for the lines"Hey, let's have more funLet's have more encoures"It's a reply within the reply because their feelings align!!Kaguya is singing this song, so the full version of the song can only be sung after the 10 year timeskip when they get their happy ending. So it makes sense that the final lines are by both of them! The existence of this full version of the song is proof itself that there has to be a happy ending!!!
>>4538752The care they put into everything outside the movie is just wonderful to see. I want to spend all my days just watching the movie and MVs forever.
>>4538752I've seen some Japs note that this song is like old Heian era poetry. Apparently there was a style of reply poem back then that two lovers would keep exchanging, adding and responding to each other's verses.
>>4538605>real world>she doesn't know
>>4538752God. This post just made me realize that we will never see young Kaguya again. That this invincible and cheerful version of her is gone forever. Yachiyo has traces of her old self left, but that era is forever gone. Why does this hurt so much all of a sudden?
>>4538840Yachiyo quickly regained her old self immediately after gaining access to Kaguyabot, though.
>>4538841Not true. That is just a superficial impression. You can tell from the Ray MV that this is not really the case. The way Kaguya speaks now, with that gentle voice and those soft eyes. They are intentionally dranw different from how she used to look pre-timeskip. The same goes for all the other shots of her in the MV.She is still energetic, but so is Yachiyo anyway. This overlap can give the illusion of the old Kaguya, but that's just not the same. The pain weathered through 8000 years cannot just disappear.I honestly respect their choice. That single line at the start of the MV where they made Natsuyoshi imitate Hayami's style of speech really conveyed everything at once.
>>4538818>Kaguya digs too deep and discovers the real world is a simulation>CIA man mindwipes her
>>4538843The excited jump she makes before looking at the camera gives me hope that with time, she will become a little bit more selfish and recover bit of her old self by being truly happy with Iroha
>>4538843>The pain weathered through 8000 years cannot just disappear.I don't think it was that bad. It looks like she mostly just hung out with celebrities.
>>4538864Read the light novel then and despair.Or maybe read the actual lyrics of the Ex-Otogibanashi's full version, which includes the line "I wanted to die" without any euphimism. Kaguya nearly went mad after thousands of years. She saw endless wars, people killing, cheating and betraying each other. She even gave up on the idea of ever meeting Iroha again all the way until the internet age where she realized she would become Yachiyo.Yachiyo's heart was permanently scarred across those 8000 years. This is why she created Tsukuyomi. A world without pain where people can just create and enjoy themselves. That's why she is giving advice and counseling to her audience and even 1 on 1 chats. Kaguya became Yachiyo so she could heal people's hearts in response to the hell she went through.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2032652954872815971The movie OST is on Spotify now... and they are teasing some sort of special Kaguya voice set you can only get there?
It starts out so cute
>>4538890But Kaguya can't help humble bragging
>>4538891Everything changed when Yaccho attacked
>>4538893In this world of ours it's top or be topped!
https://x.com/Tia0o0/status/2033121026817859767Someone fandubbed an entire scene for that Yachiyo counseling young Iroha frame from the ray MV.... This fandom is next level.
>>4538895I wish I could have a voice like that, it would make my life so much easier. Even a tranny has a softer voice than me.
>>4538900Asking for a voice like Saori Hayami is like asking for the jackpot numbers. You are setting the bar pretty high.This vocal imitator has actually been doing voice imitations of almost all of Hayami's character roles over the last few years. She's done a pretty good Shinobu from Demon Slayer yuri(ish) song cover before too.
>>4538894Do thousand-year-old boobs still sag?
>>4538902She is well over 8000 years old and obviously Iroha made her with perfect perky boobs. Before that she was digital so she never needed to worry about it either.
In every other fandom art of this caliber would be exceptional, but here we get this on the regular!
Uh... I think the girl on the right is from Edgerunners? The moon theme fits. Tho I doubt IroKagu ever wanna get that close to the moon.Sesbian Lex soda tho
>>4538908Iroha is just going to visit her in-laws.
>>4538914I think all the art of the Lunarians being like an actual family dealing with their rambunctious youngest daughter is pretty funny.
>>4538918
>watches trailer>retarded ikemen makes a big scene about wanting to marry Kaguya>ignore this dumb yuribait movie>getting bombared with people talking about this clearly stupid bait movie for over a month>finally watch it due to peer pressure>ikemen turns out to be a fag who lures out his estranged sister for a family talk by hitting on her girlfriend to mess with her>somehow turns out to be a good male supporting character in a yuri movie>the movie actually delivers on the yuri for realFuck that trailer. Almost made me miss this peak.
>>4538921That's why you can only make a real judgment by looking at the thing itself in the first place and never reading internet blogs; that's important too.
>>4538921That was the intended effect, his avatar name is Mikado i.e. Kaguya's love interest the emperor in the original fairy tale. Iroha being the real emperor stand-in and Kaguya's love interest was a surprise. Note that they stopped hiding it in the trailer they made for the theatrical release a couple weeks after it came out on Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoiZqk1rIuY
>>4538921At least you understood the point of Mikado's role. Many don't even get that he was after Iroha and genuinely think he has a crush on Kaguya instead, even after he explicitely says he never cared about marrying her. Like most things in this movie, there is a very well paved set up that you notice on a second viewing. When Kaguya yells at Yachiyo that she will win the Cup Mikado sees Iroha with her -> he becomes a Kaguya fan by watching her streams (indicated by him owning a Kaguya plush in his room and by the guidebook saying he likes her unruly and free nature as a streamer) -> he sees the Kassen tournament for Kaguya's hand in marriage and realizes Iroha is ultra protective of Kaguya and will actually come out to fight for her -> makes the plan to lure Iroha out by pretending to challenge Kaguya for marriage -> instead forces Iroha to out herself and tries to reconnect with her through the game ->intentionally makes a "I will give you whatever you want if you win" bet to give an option for a follow upAs far as his character is concerned he is very well set up to not interfere with the yuri whatsoever. Even without the novel adding the fact that he is gay and dating Noi.>>4538953It's funny how the very first teaser on the PR channel is actually completely omitting the entire real world segment of the movie. It only shows Tsukuyomi, which would make the fact that this isn't a fantasy world a surprise (to people who don't read synopsis on movies they watch).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE1y01q6wzQCan anyone hear this? I'm not musically inclined. Apparently the xylophone in the chorus at 2:12 spells out IROHA SUKI in Morse code.
>>4539135I've seen that claim and I honestly think it's farfetched. Most people can't hear it and then the original poster also claims Iroha's finger tapping is involved, which then just really doesn't have anything to do with the song and seems like a total leap.
Iroha would be too good as an assassin. Kaguya would distract the targets just by existing I guess.
Pwetty
Kaguya: "A 10k fuju donation. [I love Iro-P more than anything in the world] it says"Iroha: "Uhm... thanks..."Kaguya: "Nobody likes Iroha more than me though."Chat: No I like her moreIroha: "Don't compete."Kaguya: "Then let's make it a contest about who can say the most thing they like about Iroha!"Kaguya: "It's my turn! She puts her heart and soul into everything!"Iroha: "What are you doing all of a sudden!?"[A bunch of back and forth about Iroha's good points that get increasingly more personal]Iroha: "I-isn't this enough already?"[It continued for another hour]
>>4539155And Roka can be the hardworking fellow Lycoris who lusts after Iroha but is too much of a coward to say anything. It almost fits too well.
Iroha: "Hey Yachiyo, today a boy from my class confessed to me. How do I turn him down?"Yachiyo: (mostly cut off) [Iroha, you are really amazing to everyone in your class, no wonder you are popular--- want to reject?]Iroha: "Of course I want to turn him down..."Iroha: "Because... Yachiyo is the one I like. If I would date anyone, Yachiyo would be better..."(KYUN) Iroha: "...Yachiyo?" (There's not response...)[Apologies, due to unforeseen technical issues there will be a unscheduled maintance.]Iroha: "Eh? The app is down... Maintenance?"Iroha: "Yachiyo? What should I do??"[She turned him down at a later date]
Yachiyo: "Chu~"Iroha: "...I'm really hopeless."Yachiyo: "What's wrong? Did you not like it?"Iroha: "That's not what I meant. Yachiyo is always the one taking the lead."Yachiyo: "I am older than you. If anything you are too serious, you should rely more on Yaccho."Iroha: "Even so I... want Yachiyo to rely on me too."Iroha: "I may not be reliable yet, but I will do my best from now on. Could you wait just a little longer?"Yachiyo: ~kyun~ "Nnnn!" (WHAT A CUTIE!)
>>4539208
>>4539193>>4539200These two strips really show the exact reason I kinda prefer IroYachi right now. With Kaguya it seems Iroha is always just trying to bury her head, but with Yachiyo she feels like she is trying to grow. Of course that comparison is unfair, because Kaguya has a finish line after which her and Iroha cannot grow together any longer. By the time she is Yachiyo she is already basically a different person. And Iroha's growth can only happen alongside Yachiyo now.Is it wrong to wish that we could have seen a world where the sparkling Kaguya could have won Iroha's heart and actually stuck with her? Kaguya's and Iroha's growth up to the graduation concert was so gradual and good. But they are both forced to evolve so rapidly after that point (or I guess really slowly for Yachiyo all things considered, but it hits Iroha and the audience all in an instant).I just wanted to hear Iroha say "I love you" back once before that Kaguya left forever... I don't think kaguya was ever sure until the very end. And despite that uncertainty she clung to her love for Iroha for 8000 years anyway.
>>4539271At this point only a bunch of doujins and fanfics can help you, I rationalized that Even though Kaguya becomes Yachiyo, Yachiyo can become a little bit more like Kaguya and I'm sure a lot of doujins and fanfics, with time, will talk about that. But the hype is still very very young. I'm going through the same feelings, after prefering Yachiyo I'm back to liking Kaguya again, it's a cycle.
>>4539286I think this is an emptiness that no doujins can fix. Kaguya's interactions with Iroha are finite. There is only so much writers can add to those two precious months they spent together. Unless it's an AU where Kaguya stayed or where the plot is just different (that doesn't mean I like you office AU!) you simply can't go beyond this limitation. The future is Yachiyo's. The entire rest of their lives and all the unpredictable possibilities are her reward for her suffering.I guess it's like... in one of those yuri manga where the main characters get separated for 10 years for some arbitrary reason and they finally get back together. And you know in your mind these are the same people, but they have changed regardless. And it hurts to think how much time was wasted between them. They could have grown into these older selves together. ....I suppose Iroha did dive through all of Yachiyo's memories, so technically she was there with her. And Yachiyo was around for those 10 years where Iroha worked hard to give her a body. Maybe that's enough.I feel like Yachiyo right now. Just replaying that happiest moment of their lives over and over in my head and feeling wistful.
>>4539319My headcanon is that Kaguyabot is OG Kaguya, with her retarded brain and everything, and Yacchi just gets put on a usb stick or something. That's why I like post-canon fics where mature OL Iroha can be with her genki childlike girlfriend. I mean, if she wanted Yacchi, she could've made Yacchibot, but she recreated her teenage girlfriend.
>>4539333That headcanon is stupid and just wrong though. I can't dumb myself down to believe something like that.Also Iroha is not an OL.
>>4539333You could write a pretty decent barely hidden bimbofication fic using a scenario where the memories are too much for Yachiyo and she asks Iroha to delete her memories.
>>4539345Please keep your disgusting fetishes out of this work...
>>4539212I guess she can just get it from the source...
>>4538918>Lunarians being like an actual familyYeah except not cute. I think the brainwashing part made it very clear that this was intended to be an analogy for a conservative family being against their daughter's homosexuality and trying to do conversion on her. I know that the literal point was to overwrite her memory with the Bmboo Cutter tale so she would give up and go home like in the original story, but the fact that it focused on Kaguya refusing to be brainwashed into loving the Emperor instead of Iroha really hits differently.
https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2033830951911129302/photo/1A-anons... what is 1 billion yen in real money again?
>>45394166.3 million dollars.
>>4539416Around 5 million euros.
>>4539416To put this into perspective:Kimi no Nawa (Your Name), one of the most popular anime original movies of all time made 5 million dollars domestically. And it was airing in 311 cinemas over 3 months.CPK made more money than that within roughly 1 month. And 3 weeks of that were limited releases in like 25-50 cinemas and the last weekend was 100+ cinemas. And we are talking about a movie that has already been out for over a month on a popular streaming platform for a fraction of a movie ticket in which time a huge chunk of its potential audience already saw it.Of course inflation does play a part here, so maybe it's still less than Kimi no Nawa. But the cinema run isn't done yet. I think we can say it now... yuri completely defeated het for once.
>>4539432Are you sure about those numbers? Wikipedia says Your Name made 25 billion yen domestically.
>>4539434Kimi no Nawa was rereleased 3 times. So that's accumulated box office over 6 years. It's original run in 2017 only made 5 million dollars.Movie accounts/sites in Japan currently call CPK the most successful original anime movie box office, so I am pretty sure.
>>4539432>>4539434>>4539435None of these numbers are accurate wtf
This is the best thing I have seen yet.
>>4539442It's based on a popular song that is making the rounds lately called "Two Romeos" or something. The version I saw had two female singers doing the Romeo role too. One of them was the singer from Honeyworks at that.I do love Iroha in the dress with KaguYachi taking the more princely role. It's a nice reversal.
>>4539448Is it even a reversal? Iroha is usually dressing in a modest and feminine way in the real world. Her casual outfit is a dress a conservative mom would wear. Even her Tsukuyomi design has fishnets and a half skirt. Kaguya is more of a tomboy than Iroha desu. She is just also hyper cutesy. Yaccho is definitely peak feminine elegance though. A real diva.
>>4539516The fuck?
>>4539528People have been going crazy all day over how Yachiyo's early character design had collarbone piercings. You can also see it on the acrylic stand Iroha has in her room in the movie.
>>4539540Oh so that's what I saw on xitter... I think the Kaguya design is a lot more interesting though. Ear piercings, a choker and a flower mark on her cheek. That's real expressive. There is also that one really cute gyaru Kaguya design from the Guidebook.Yachiyo looking the same except for some weird collarbone piercing just seems random in comparison. This does remind me of what they said in the guidebook about how they originally wanted to have Yachiyo expose her shoulders, but then decided against it because she would be showing too much skin with her legs already being exposed.
>>4539550The design in question (center)
Roka and Rena (BR2)
>>4539554Only one of these two lesbians scored.But then her relationship got reset alongside the world, so I guess they will both be eternally suffering.
>>4539346But wouldn't it be nice? Deleting that much stuff is probably best done over time, so you could really show her becoming her old happy self again. Sure, she wouldn't be that good at giving life advice any more, and of course she'd forget all the conversations she had with those great thinkers, but so what? Can't people talk to their friends or therapists? Didn't those eggheads write that stuff down if it was important?Being happy is much better than being wise. Now it's time for Kaguya to be herself again. She's back to her old body that'll never change, with her old libido, only this time Iroha won't deny her. Maybe she'll pretend she accidentally deleted the ability to wear anything under that oversized shirt?
>>4539560Don't pretend you didn't get why I said that. Never say shit like bimbofication again.
>>4539556If you finish the game twice you get a bonus scene of Ao meeting the girl you chose to date in the new timeline and they recognize each other, it can even be Rena or Yuki if you feel like being a homewrecker. It's easy to imagine they also still have their memories and find each other again because powerful feelings and shit.
>>4539570No actually, if you pick Rena or Yuki it doesn't imply that she is dating them. Just that she has a strong bond with them. Their relationship is canon due to story, so it doesn't get affected by bond level. Basically Ao meets whoever has the strongest bond with her. Also I was being catty, of course the game implies those two will meet again. They say as much. It's easy to assume they will fall in love with each other again too, despite Yuki not being sick this time.
>>4539550The initial design has the piercings too. I guess they removed them to make the characters designs more family friendly.
>>4539589Fun design but definitely overstuffed.
>>4539589I mean, this is the shoulders out design that they said they didn't wanna do, so yeah.
>>4539461The main reversal is that in all the songs Kaguya is refered to as the princess. In World Is Mine that implicitly puts Iroha in the role of prince. Romeo isn't a prince of course, but serves a similar function in the song.
The amount of hearts on the dance video...168.4K... I-Ro-Ha Shi-KIroha SukiI love IrohaEVERYSINGLEFRAME
>>4539620AND that frame happens right when the song says its last RENAI (passionate love).
Tangled up
Cutting nails before a day off~
What kind of misery porn is this? From what I can tell this implies Iroha got severely injured during a break-in at her home or something. So I guess Yachiyo transfered her mind to Tsukuyomi? She says Kaguya was too late.Really strange comic strip.
Yuri mangaka Sometime has made yet another CPK short. This time about celebrating Kaguya's birthday.

They're adding 24 more theaters on April 3rd: https://x.com/Cho_KaguyaHime/status/2034464887460725111The evolution from "only on Netflix" to "in an ever expanding number of theaters for over a month" is wild.
>>4540032One day they will expand worldwide...
>>4540034Nobody in the west watched it on Netflix, they're not going to gamble on a theater release.
>>4540036This is complete nonsense. It was literally in the Top 7 most popular movies worldwide in its first week. And the international response on xitter also makes it obvious. Your Name had bi Netflix release and was also released internationally. This is literally no gamble, anime movies get aired in cinemas overseas all the time. It's very cost effective.
>>4540037>bi*no
>>4540032Japanese cinema works differently than most other coubtries'. A movie doesnt just run for 3 months. It can run for a whole year if it's popular.
>>4540095>forcing your partner's hand to fingerbang you while she sleepsThat's a new one.
Some idiot spammed a new thread without an OP and full of generic sample images. It was clearly made to snipe the real threads. Don't go to that thread. I will make a real one when this one reaches the image limit.

>>4540289I don't think you can fuel and android body with normal food. She can probably combust the stuff inside there somewhere, but it would probably not give her energy. That does bring into question Iroha's whole "make her human" thing, so she might have done some magic bio-robotics nonsense tho.

>>4540316
>>4540318
>>4540319Yachiyo really needs all the hugs...
>>4540317>English versionWoah. I did not expect that.
>>4540320Well she did spend 8000 years going through hell
>>4540303Kotobukiya already announced scale figures for Kaguya and Yachiyo a month or so ago.
>>4540324Yeah but they always take centuries.
Sakana!
Roka...
Fanart of that interpretation of Yachiyo guiding Kaguya through the power lines at the start.
>>4540350I find the idea odd, because to me it seems that all the colors came from the ship (the way it prepares for entry into the atmosphere later in the movie also shows off rainbow colors inside) and the rainbow telephone pole also implies that this is all Kaguya's energy.To me that yellow light was just a visual gag about how a part of Kaguya took a wrong turn and quickly reunited with the rest.
>>4540350I still think it's cute. But how would she have found the way in the first time before Yachiyo existed?
>>4540370There is no before because she was always going to have been will existeding.
>>4540306
>>4540386But then there would be a first Yachiyo that isnt Kaguya??
>>4540398A FOURTH ONE?!
>>4540403Yachiyo always existed, it's just a paradox or whatever you want to call it. Imagine someone gifts you a yuri manga, and then later you travel back in time and give their younger self that same exact manga, and that's how they eventually give it to your younger self when they get older. Where did the hell did the manga come from? It's always just been being passed between the two of you in a loop.Young Kaguya lands in 2030 on earth, meets Iroha and Yachiyo, goes to the moon, comes back to earth 8000 years in the past, time elapses, she witnesses the year 2030 again where she sees younger self come to earth and meet Iroha and her now old lady self, then go back to the moon and then accidentally travel 8000 years into the past, etc...
These threads have really made me lose faith in this place's intelligence upon seeing so many people failing to understand such a simple and well-known concept as time travel.
>>4540324I just looked at prices for their 1/7 figures and knowing that I'll definitely want three, sheesh>>4540303Hopefully there's more figure announcements in the future
>>4540422Of which there are 100 different theories which all contradict each other...

>>4540535>>4540541Yeah we already know about the L2D shorts. They've been around since before the movie launched.
>>4540496I don't check every single image in every thread.
>>4540494Of which this movie uses only one in a very clear and straightforward manner.
>>4540547You literally repost the same image if it is literally right above your spam wave. It's too late to use that excuse. Not to mention that all images were danbooru spam but that is the only one your altered so that you could post it which implies 4chan told you that you cant post the same image, so you intentionally changed it slightly to post it anyway. Just dont repost images in the same thread weirdo.
>>4540552No. You cant make a half-assed statement about "the simple concept of time travel" as if there was only one true factual version and then dodge like this.There are perfectly valid other time travel theories that could apply here just as well. You just decided for yourself that this is the one that makes the most sense to you, so it has to be true. Even if this is the creator's intention, that doesn't mean everyone needs to think the same way about time travel.
>>4540621>as if there was only one true factual versionAny decent time travel story sticks to one version.>There are perfectly valid other time travel theories that could apply here just as well.There aren't, as there is nothing in the story that supports them.>You just decided for yourself that this is the one that makes the most sense to you, so it has to be true.It's the only one that makes any sense to anyone who is even casually familiar with the concept of time travel, and who has watched more than one time travel movie besides this one.>Even if this is the creator's intention, that doesn't mean everyone needs to think the same way about time travel.It does, because when it comes to time travel, everyone needs to be on the same page.
>>4540627>sticks to one versionIrrelevant. The point is that you can't just pretend there is only one obvious version that everyone should automatically accept or project onto the movie.>I have zero imaginationThat is your problem. Don't make it everyone else's. There are absolutely several time travel theories that could apply to this movie.>blah blah if you know anything about time travelNo, the whole issue here is that you don't. You know one version and think that is the only one that could ever work.>everyone needs to be on the same pageAnd you clearly aren't, as you have zero education on the subjecrt, which becomes abundantly clear by your inane absolutism.
>>4540631The plot of the movie only makes sense according to one interpretation of time travel, which is made abundantly clear by the reveals. It's you who are overcomplicating things by thinking about other time travel models that don't fit.
>>4540639Except I can think of 3 different time travel theories that can apply to the scenario presented in the movie. The movie does not go out of its way to clarify the specifics, which leaves ample room for interpretation. Obviously I think the stable loop theory is the most sensible and I don't disagree with that. But your retarded attitude born from ignorance of time travel models pisses me off. People who interpret the presented evidence differently are not inherently wrong and your assumption is not in any way fact. Nobody is "stupid" for having a different interpretation to something that is very much left open ended.
There need to be more double Iroha on kaguya artworks to counter balance the infinite ones of Iroha getting sandwhiched by KaguYachi
Roka if she had no filter
Kaguya had to sit in that movie cover pose for hours. Poor thing.
>>4540651What three time travel theories apply to this?
every time i see a show about a happy girl who just wants others to be happy.i justi just want to go down on her
i wish that was meleft
>>4540676>>4540677Please contain your waifufaggotry...
>>4540398
>>4540681Yachiyo again?!
>>4540669Stable LoopParallel Timelines (multiverse)Self-correcting timelineYachiyo's claims are vague and unreliable, because she is imposing her view on how this works, even though she didn't even know she would be Yachiyo for most of her 8000 years. In every way the time travel that we see can apply to all three of these theories, with Yachiyo either implying them directly like the stable loop, or indirectly with the self-correcting timeline theory. The parallel timelines theory would not make it a perfect loop, but still provide the same outcomes in a subjective perspective like Yachiyo's.
Yes
>>4540690Just destroy my soul
>>4540691Again
>>4540690>>4540691>>4540692I always wondered why Yachiyo needs that sleep mode. What, is her soul recharging?
>>4540713Maybe she needs to defrag herself
>>4540726I guess that is what sleeping amounts to for normal people. I still feel like Yachiyo having mandatory sleep times is weird. Wouldnt that imply she is waiting till the absolute time limit every time?
>>4540795
I sort of remember this kind of TV show in clips, but I dont actually get the joke beyond Kaguya messing up.
>>4540798
The Roka wins universe is kind of cool.
>>4540800
>>4540938
>>4540800>>4540801Iroha really is the type who would buy every single magazine her model girlfriend appears in and catalogue them all.
>>4540713She's like your MacBook that can't charge faster than it consumes power under heavy load.
>>4540984whoops wrong order
>>4540713>>4540726>>4540788Well we have a working AI entertainer in Neuro-sama, and she does sleep although its a bit more work than simply defragging. Due to only having a finite amount of low latency SSDD space at any given time there is a whole separate AI that manages, tags and files the interactions the Neuro-sama LLM has with her guests and chat so she can recall things and have a human-like conversation with people. When the disk space starts to max out and the AI has to start moving stuff to longer latency storage like magnetic drives or cloud storage then Neuro starts to 'stroke out'. Repeating herself, speaking parts of the code out loud like 'bracket-location-close bracket', answering the wrong person with a time displaced comment, stuttering, that sort of stuff. Then she needs to 'sleep' for a few hours to allow the compiler AI to organize her memories. And then she is back to being human-like.
>>4541001First of all, not AI. Just a LLM. Secondly Yachiyo isn't an AI in the first place. That was a red herring, which I think should be obvious if you watched the movie. Even if we assume that she stores her thousands of years of memories in some form of data compilation medium on her spaceship, I don't think Lunarian tech is this behind. It would probably not require to defrag regularly. It's way more likely that connecting her disembodied soui to the servers is somehow time gated because of various reasons.Though once Kaguyabot becomes "fully human" there is the question of how she can keep those 8000 years worth of memory. There is definitely no SD card that can manage that volume of information. Unless it really is stored inside Kaguya's digital soul somehow.

They released a version on the android app store the same day the movie came out.
>>4540946That's the second self-cest art I've seen of these two. Very rare.
>>4541061Yeah this kind of game is ancient appstore slop. But whatever manages to gived Kaguya that kind of expression is worth a laugh at least.
>>4538894Against all odds, the conclusion(?) of the love triangle episode!
>>4541070Of course it ends in a threesome. It wasn't even in question, right?
It's like phone sex, but without a phone!...actually I bet webcam sex is a thing these days. I'm just oldfashioned.
Mommy issues: The Extended Cut
Kaguya no
>>4541075Kaguya this is assault!
This is just straight up Yaccho abuse...
Drunk Iroha art is its own subcategory by now. Can Kaguyabot even get drunk...?
>>4541083Kaguya: "I'd rather be taken back to the moon than witness this"
How'd they even fit in there?!
The novel version of this scene was pretty interesting, because Roka and Mami were actually really obvious about the fact that they were setting Iroha up for a date, because Iroha notes that they always finish their summer homework early.
>>4541114Iroha's thoughts are all about Kaguya too.
>>4541115So maximum seduction achieved
>>4541084Really? Mods literally do nothing about any of the millions of issues on this board, but the one time a pic with a crowd shot that contains males is posted is when someone finally thinks they should delete it? How about you delete that bot thread first?
>>4540797They are all supposed to write a part of the word to form the correct answer together. They were asked to name the famous location in question. Correct answer was "Irohazaka" (Iroha slope) but Kaugya messing up turned it to "Iroha zaKO" which translates to something like "Iroha is a loser".
>>4541125Don't be retarded, that picture has a naked muscular dude front and center
>>4541145...that is Fushi, a literal seaslug, with a humanoid body. Fushi doesnt even have a gender. And it's clearly implied to be a fusion of Yachiyo and Fushi at that.
>>4541143No wonder Iroha looks pissed off.
>>4541147A humanoid male body with an obvious bulge in the crotch. Stop acting retarded.
>>4541153It's literally a genderless body and there is no sexual organ or as you pointed out yourself, the lack of clothes would have made it quite obvious. You might not really understand how anatomy works if you think that Barbie/Ken anatomy is a representation of real bodies.
>>4541158Add Mio-chan from the novel to this and she can truly be quartered from every limb.
>>4541073My work laptop vibrates like a phone when there's a new notification, probably to get zoomers used to using an actual computer. She could probably put her laptop on her crotch and find a way to get the vibration motor to stay on to kinda simulate doin' it.
>>4541159>Mio-chanI don't think Iroha is into an incompetent girl.
Are there any phone wallpapers of this series? I checked /w/ but no luck
>>4541192Yeah but the other way around can still be true.
>>4541215Can't you just use any art as your phone background? I never understood why you need a specific file anymore. The flipphone days are over.
What if the Lunarian kidnapped and brainwashed Iroha to keep Kaguya in line? Freaky concept.
>>4541347Oh how the turn tables
