The box office has cleared the 2.5 billion mark in Japan's cinemas now.The blue-ray release was announced.... and the pre-orders were immediately sold out. They promised to make more.The blue-ray will have a bunch of features, like a voice drama post timeskip by IroKaguYachi, a duet version of Reply with Kaguya and Iroha and more concept art. Apparently it will also include some cut movie scene involving Iroha, making the movie even longer.Kaguya's voice actress was on a VTuber radio show with Hoshimachi Suisei, doing in character interviews and conversation. It's post time-skip Kaguya and she receives a letter from Iroha where they are lovey-dovey with each other. When asked what Kaguya loves about Iroha her answer was an infatuated "Everything".https://files.catbox.moe/fqy8uk.m4aIroha's birthday was revealed to be May 11th and she got a bunch of birthday art, including official illustrations by the studio.The Virtual World Tsukuyomi fundraiser reached 4000%, then was reopened for a bit because lots of orders didnt get through and now its at 5000%.The Ray MV now plays after the movie on Netflix too.Kaguya and Yachiyo's VAs appeared on The First Take together.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laOwIwY_dWgNatsuyoshi and Hayami sing World is Mine live.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DXqEa-7-WgNatsuyoshi and Hayami sing Ray live.
Movie... trivia.... uhhhh.........Right.So there are lots of parallels going on in the movie and the Ray MV too. Like this jumping animation is clearly intentionally mirrored.
This wrist hold being reversed as the movie goes on is pretty emotional.
In the Ray MV you can see Roka approach the depressed Iroha, which might be the first time these two interacted. And later there is a shot of someone handing Iroha a snack in the classroom, which I assume is Mami.It's nice how they subtly flash back to how their friendships started.
So here is an excerpt of chapter 2 of the novel:---No matter how I think about it, I probably have to report this to the police.For the first time in my life, I dialed 110 on my smartphone and pressed the call icon.While listening to the ringing tone, I rehearsed what to say.I have to be extremely careful.If I say even one thing wrong, they might think I kidnapped her. Let’s practice. “There’s been an incident…”…No good.“A baby appeared… from a seven-colored glowing utility pole…”That sounds ridiculous.“There was a baby crying so I brought her home…”…Yeah I’d definitely get arrested. I’m completely lost. How am I supposed to explain something I don’t even understand myself?“This is Tachikawa Police Station. Is it an incident or an accident?” “Ah! It’s okay! Everything is… fine now! Sorry! Thank you very much!” In the end, I called the police just to tell them “everything is fine” and hung up.The most suspicious phone call ever.…I’m sorry, officer.---The movie didnt really convey this, but the whole part where Iroha madly rambles about finding a baby was just her practicing. The only thing she said to the cops is that everything is fine. Which explains why they didnt come to check it out.
>>4559215I added a new section to the paste with Promotional and Miscalenneous material which includes stuff like the radio show, the First Take MVs and the cast pre-screening introduction.
>>4559221Fuck off noveltard. The novel adds stuff but this is a case of you speaking from your ass to overrate it and bitch about the movieThe movie conveyed it fine. I never questioned why the police didn't come or even think Iroha actually told them any of the explanations she was thinking. I knew it was her going through ideas and realizing how bad it sounds from the cops' perspective, realizing no way she could explain the sudden appearance of Kaguya that the cops would believe and not make Iroha look suspicious
>>4559213Wow, Natsuyoshi really is a natural at this. She could easily be a real Vtuber and make it big.
>>4559229Sure buddy. Your perfect little mind made a good guess and now you feel very smart. Good for you.Now when we return to reality, this was just a fun fact, because normal people would not jump to that conclusion, because the movie gave no indication that the call was still connecting or when it actually connected.
>>4559216Honestly impressive how this much stuff is still happening 4 months after the movie debut. It's just not slowing down.
Gorgeous
>>4559255I think Suisei just likes the musical aspect of the movie.
Does anyone know if dvds are going to have a English sub? And what is best place to buy thanks.
>>4559269>DVDsThey only announced Blue-rays.>EnglishNot on the Japanese release. Wait for an international release.>best place to buyAmazon... eventually.
>>4559274I'm surprised they did not sub themselves like ryza games.
>>4559283There would be no point. They sell out even in just Japan as is. Usually the english tracks get added during the East Asia release at the earliest.
>>4559216>5000%Might as well go for 8000% at this point.
>>4559266Why do people keep label this as vtuber film it has similarities but its a vr world just cause they use a digital identity does make it a vtuber.
English(and many other langs) sub sucks at many aspect so i want them to fix it if they are gonna put sub.
>>4559544Because half the cast are people who do shortform videos using their digital avatars.
>>4559550That does not make it vtuber though.
>>4559544>>4559553Are you stupid? Stop gettung hung up ob the damn term. Vtubers are also often called Liver, so especially in Nijisanji and outside Youtube. The movie also uses the term Liver. They are steamers who use L2D or 3D avatars. They are fucking Vtubers, it's the same thing.
>>4559546No. The English sub on Netflix is actually just extemely good. You probably picked the English subtitles for the English dub. The dub and sub are conpletely different.
>>4559559Your fucking stupid its not so that would mean sao also vtuber kys
>>4559570This must be braindead bait or something. Probably didn't even watch the movie. It's so obvious you have no idea they are streamers.
>>4559572How are people so fucking retarded yes for streamers no for vtubers as everyone on vr has a avatar just cause you use a digital identity does not make you a vtuber.
>>4559573VR on that level doesn't exist IRL. So the closest equivalent to the streaming with live 2D avatars Kaguya and Yachiyo are seen doing sometimes is indeed Vtubers. Not my problem if you hate Vtubers and hate the fact your favorite movie is assoicated with them. Cope and seethe
>>4559574Still retarded anon whatever helps sleep at night I guess.
>>4559573They literally do L2D streams all the time in the movie. They also use 3D models for some streams like Vtubers do. Kaguya also is a hybrid streamer who does live cam stuff sometimes. You are so focused on the VR aspect, when that isnt even the majority of their content. They are literally called Livers which is a Japanese term for Vtubers. It's not the same term as just a general streamer.Tsukuyomi is a platform, like Youtube. You can literally see the streaming/video platform several time in the movie. There is a reason why everyone from the staff, to the voice actresses, to the Japanese fans calls it a Vtuber influenced movie.
>>4559577Not op A lot of people label anything with anime avatars and virtual performances as “VTuber,” so both of you gtfo
>>4559578i'm not any of those anons and i can't stand vtubers like any sane person, but you chose a pretty weird hill to die oneven if by some technicality the characters were to not be labeled as 'vtubers', they still do exatly the same kind of shit when streaming, it makes no differenceit's a good movie with a bad minor theme in it, big deal, vtuber-adjacent stuff is just being shoe-horned everywhere for easy money nowadays, it's the new idolshit fad
>>4559630There is literally nothing wrong with Vtubers. They are just streamers with anime models. Get over yourselves autists...
>>4559634>There is literally nothing wrong with Vtubers. They are just streamersbut that is what's wrong with them, buncha randos rambling about retarded shit at an even more retarded audience while begging for monetization support, i tried to sit through that shit several times but there's just no value whatsoever, it's not interesting, not funny, not cute, nothing but a waste of time
>>4559637Hating the very concept of streaming as a job is pathetic.
>>4559639>Hating the very concepti'm hating that it makes me feel like gauging my fucking eyes and ears out the whole time, anoni don't even have high standards or anything, but holy shit i don't know how they could conjure up something so cringe-inducing i'd rather watch idols instead, at least some of them have talent despite being glorified fetish material
>>4559640Case in point.
>>4559641i rest my case
Manipulating the game avatar to suit her kink. Truly devilish administrator!
The second KnM reference art I've seen already.
Not all reactions on movie commentary will be the same...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoaMMaeTpowAnother clip from the radio show.I can't believe I have to point this out in an official promotion, but Natsuyoshi got it wrong.>Because this was the first song Iroha wrote for me it's specialExcept... it isn't. Iroha didn't write that song for Kaguya. It was one of her old songs she composed as a kid. Like all the songs Kaguya sings until Reply. I guess she might have cleaned and touched some parts of these old songs, but she most definitely did not write it for Kaguya. And as Natsuyoshi says herself, Kaguya wrote the lyrics, so it wasn't that either.I suppose you can't expect her to remember all the details. But that means I know the movie better than Kaguya's own actress at this point. What am I doing with my life?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLMcomIU7swOh the final part just came out.>"That's love right?">What is Iroha to you? "Everything"Really not beating around the bush on this one.
>>4559841I love that Kaguya is still so direct even when completely embarrassed. I hope there will be occasions to see her 10 (+8000) years later self get embarrassed in the presence of Iroha's herself as well.
I wonder was there any kind of background hint about an asteroid coming close to Earth in the next 80 years or something? It feels like the kind of foreshadowing they would absolutely put into the movie, but I haven't found anything about it yet.
