The official Roka birthday art (pic rel) by the Director broke the fandom's mind for a bit there. Iroha is a sinful lesbian seducer.The fundraiser stretch goal exceeded 1680% and the management announced there will be a whole new voice drama made in celebration!The box office exceeded 1.8 billion yen and is still climbing.Movie screenings have added new incentives for people to go, like pre-movie chit-chats between the characters that change every week. The Reply MV also got shown after the movie for one week only. Several doujins have been scanned and uploaded to both Dynasty-scans and e-hentai. Check 'em out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IVwpa00GggThis is a fake interview of Kaguya right before the graduation concert. It adds a lot to the context of that part of the movie.
Soo... more movie details... uhh.How about this? I never really got why Iroha had a stronger reaction to seeing the dirty dishes than the money that was used for the food. But then I realized... Iroha would not own all this kitchen equipment, considering she hardly ever cooks for herself.So that means kaguya bought a bunch of kitchen wares on top of all the expensive food. It's a mystery how Iroha's account didnt go into debt.
Kaguya usually wears red nail polish, but during her graduation concert she wore purple after putting on the several layered kimono... this is the same color Yachiyo wears. Basically at that point her path was already determined.
This pose Kaguya does is actually a very popular internet meme in Japan. It's based on a safety mascot, Ganba Cat. This has been used as the "Yosh!" meme for a while which is an enthusiastic call to action.
ANOTHER flower fact? Of course!So you see, as if the bellflowers they wear werent gay enough symbolism, sunflowers, like the ones they have on their yukatas, also have special meaning, especially in numbers.Both of them have three sunflowers each (two in front, one on the back). Three sunflowers represent a confession of love. Six sunflowers represent romantic obssession.So each of them have 3 and together they got 6. It's absolutely insane how romantically charged every single choice about the fireworks date is.
Yeah but all that irrelevant stuff aside, do you know what this scene represents?1. Kaguya likes to touch pussy2. Kaguya wants to own pussy3. It foreshadows how she will get some pussy later4. It predicts that eventually she will get an artificial body that will have one added by her scientist wife for herTruly, the most brilliant movie of all time.
I cant post pics, because they are guys, but some Jap fans pointed out how all of the Sakayori family's lovers tend to have droopy eyes. Kaguya, Noi and Iroha's dad all have them. Is having a type hereditary? lol
Lovely movie that leaves me wanting more. I don't think it lends itself to a sequel, though. Maybe an epilogue OVA or something would be good. It could flesh out the events of the MV a bit; it doesn't need to answer all the ontological questions, but it would be nice to have a little more clarity on which ones are worth asking. The rest of the time could be filled with scenes of domestic fluffy pancakes. On second thought, maybe it's time for the slice of life genre to have its moment on the big screen. Give us two hours of Iroha and Kaguya just enjoying each other's company as they go about their lives.
>>4547760There is that voice drama they announced and it if has anywhere near the level of care put into it that the movie has, then it will surely gives us lots of new information.>SoL movie sequelI dunno, I would certainly watch it, but I doubt this is ever gonna be a thing. The closest to that might be the Yuru Yuri Oomuro-ke movie that released last year. It didn't really have some goal or big plot, as expected of Yuru Yuri and it was still decently successful.Personally I think a 20 minute OVA would be much better suited to deliver SoL content. It could still have details about the 10 year time skip or the Mount Fuji climb.
>>4547716so thats what that cat is from. I always sew it with a phone in japanese fanart
>>4547718Really weird how irokagu never got a cat pet this really felt like foreshadowing
Waow
Admit it, a gyaru spin-off of these two in high school would rock!
Oh damn, this is really smart. This is Kaguya watching the Artemis 2 go around the moon. CPK takes place 4 years later, so it's entirely possible that this is what gave Kaguya the idea to go to Earth eventually.I also love how the artist uses the same exact eye shot as Iroha watching Kaguya's ship fly by.
>>4547842I unironically think you can do almost any kind of AU with the CPK cast. They are just that well defined and flexible at the same time. And this is an interesting way to integrate the Kaguya myth in all kinds of scenarios.I've especially been getting into Role Swap AUs lately, because human Kaguya meeting any kind of non-human Iroha really makes the dynamics of the story quite fresh.
I love this chart
>>4547929Ahhhhhhhhh so adorable!!!
>>4547711Any recommended fanfics? I read the ones in the OP, but those are all really short and early stuff.
>>4547840You will never convince me Kaguya wasn't constantly and successfully begging Iroha for sex.
>>4547932Well it is Yachiyo, so she might be a bit more modest and shy. Unless you meant pre-timeskip. In which case I don't think they were really there yet. If they had gotten another month in their newlywed life it might have gotten that far though. If iroha wasn't depressed about Kaguya clearly leaving soon they could have been more lovey-dovey.
>>4547916>I unironically think you can do almost any kind of AU with the CPK castI for one would read an AU where Iroha is an overstressed JK, Kaguya is a princess from the Moon and Yachiyo is a time displaced Kaguya.
>>4547939I guess you were trying to be funny, but there isn't much meat on that joke, because it entirely relies on just ignoring what AU means.
>>4547940The joke is that in the AU in question, the Moon Kingdom would be an actual, physical, globally recognized polity. Kaguya would be the princess (crown-princess or otherwise) of this place and would fall in love with Iroha. Yachiyo, as mentioned, would be a time displaced Kaguya, and her sole purpose (as Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto) would be to create the Moon Kingdom so that it would eventually produce Kaguya to fall in love with Iroha.Iroha would still be an overstressed JK, but instead of "oh shit I got myself a wife" it'd be "oh shit I got myself involved in interplanetary affairs AND a wife"
>>4547933Oh, it was just friendship sex.
>>4547842Maybe if it was something like that.
>>4548006...did you edit that? Also no, Iroha is supposed to be a gyaru too, so no ugly glasses.
