New thread Yana where is novel 3YanaYana pls
Talk in last thread about events being referenced in the main story and dear god what I wouldn't give for Rollo to be canon.
>>557796782Same. He's the only one from the Halloween boys I feel goes well with the main story and on par with the main cast. Glorimas itself felt like main story material.Twst can make bank if they write the guy back in please Yana please
>>557796782>>557797494Pen pals with Malleus. By which I mean, Malleus is sending him snail mail every week. Which Rollo burns in his little fireplace without ever reading. While suffering the eternal torment of knowing that Malleus is never going to know his letters aren't being read unless he tells him, but acknowledging the receipt of said letters would compromise his vow to ignore said lizard. An ironic tragedy repeating with the delivery of the mail every Thursday. The mail being always just the one letter because who else would be sending snail mail in a world with smartphones except Malleus Draconia.
>>557801736And it’s delivered by the student council assistant to the council room so everyone knows. They all think Rollo and Malmal are BFFs and Rollo can’t tell them he’s not reading them and is just destroying them without looking like an ass so he doesn’t say anything. And now all of NBC praises him for putting differences aside and improving interscholastic relations. And brag to friends they made at the social who go to other schools that their president is bosom buddies with Malleus Draconia. And the guys at NRC hear about it because social media. And it gets back to Malleus because Cater. “Word on the street is that you’re pen pals with Rollo Flamme.” And Malleus is so smug and proud.And Rollo hates his life.
>>557788048
>>557812061It makes me feel better than JP is also baffled by the lack of new novel. If they were silent on it I'd think that maybe they knew something we didn't, or the novels just weren't that popular or something, but every once and I while I see JPsisters encouraging each other to read them and joking about the next one and it's like "I fucken knew it, the novels are peak."
Tako is coming. Lion is coming. pspsps. I don't know sound you'd make to coax an octopus towards you. Bubble sounds I guess.
>>557822353Saying glub glub will help.
>>557822353MY WIFE IS SO GORGEOUS
>>557822353Duo with Silver? Cool! And Try using moray eels to capture him.
>>557822353He has extra MILF vibes in this card. Looks more Bayonetta and Jeanne's son than ever
>>557824794>Looks more Bayonetta and Jeanne's son than everCannot unsee it now
>>557824523>>557827779The siblings are going to hang out!

The shadows, one of the shadows is a hyena? A reference to Ruggie!? LeoRug canon!
>>557856449I see 3 hyenas tho
>>557867439Rug, Gie and Bucchi
>Post about fandom flanderization is forbidden and immediatly removed>But the sub getting flooded by shitty OOC fan content and topics everyday is a-ok!Twst reddit is a joke
>>557871604>Reddit
>>557871604*OC
>>557871604If we could delete posts in here too bitching about bitches instead of the game, I bet a lot of us would do it.
>>557871703>Implying it's the first time that place was brought up here
>>557871604> flooded by shitty OOC fan content I hate the OCslop too but I have no idea how to ask the mods to limit it. What would a rule like that even look like? "Only two OC posts allowed per day, first come first served"?That said, I'd rather see ugly drawings of Miss Mary Suington III than have to see meangirls shit. OCs can at least pretend to be tangentially Twst related, "this fandom sucks" posts are just circlejerks of butthurt people who lost arguments on Twitter.
>>557875429I've seen Reddit threads where some posts are only allowed on specific days of the week, like weekends or Tuesdays and Thursdays, something like that.
>>557876729That'd be cool. Elementary Schooler Thursday: keep your self-indulgent crowing to one day a week. But they'd have to phrase it as "this way everyone gets to see all of your wonderful OCs at the same time, same place, for easy access!!" cause saying "we are all tired of this cringey shit, children are to stay inside this playpen" would not go over well.
You could always go back and create your own twst sub-reddit with rules about no ocs (explained more tactfully of course). Be the change you want to see, as they say.
>>557814563> the novels are peak.Not the english ones. I tried to send a Karen-style email to VIZ via their customer support form asking what went wrong with the book 2 novel's translation but their system is broken and kept sending back errors. That's certainly one way to handle customer complaints, I guess.
>>557884720Last thread or so ago, there was an industryanon who said that those people don't have anyone to hold them accountable. A problem has to be big enough to get the JPHQ's attention, because localization has no oversight. Localizers are just doing what they want because their clients don't understand English, so they'll never know.But sending a complaint via the Twst JP contact form seems tone deaf. They're both technically Square Enix but I doubt those two departments ever interact.
26 hours until lion comes home whether he wants to or not.
I wonder if there is some overworked animator out there drawing Leona's overblot as we speak to try and meet some deadline that none of us know about for the second season of the anime. Who are you, unnamed korean animator. Are you using AI. Will Book 2 continue to be cursed and awful. Tell us the secret recipe.
>>557871604How many more times are we going to have to suffer your insane addiction to Reddit? Be a mentally ill retard who can't stop arguing with underaged kids on the internet as much as you want but stop wafting your shit over to the rest of us who actually have self control.>>557872797Seriously. It's extra funny when they LARP at being JP readers. As if somebody who actually knew JP and hated the EN fanbase that much couldn't just spend time on JP social media instead.
>>557906776> just spend time on JP social media instead.I think twt did something to their algorithm cause I blocked just a dozen english language posts and now I'm not seeing any anymore, zero, it is amazing.
>>557908303I have a VPN with my country always set to JP and this has worked for me for years.>>557875429A weekly megathread for OCs would probably tie up the issue neatly? I haven't used Reddit since COVID, but that used to be the go-to for any single type of posting that flooded a subreddit.> "this fandom sucks" posts are just circlejerks of butthurt people who lost arguments on TwitterAnd then those people apparently come here to post about it when they lose arguments on Reddit... It never ends, does it. I wouldn't go as far as >>557906776 , but I do wish these people would do something to help themselves.
>>557909703I found the thread >>557871604 is pining for and it’s one of the most passive aggressive things I’ve ever seen, people complaining about being blocked, complaining about complaining, complaining that no one understands (character) like they do. I’m betting shitter is their home base and they’re trying to drag other platforms down to their level.On a more interesting note, did anyone notice Yana saying she’s in charge of the OB cards? She was talking about how fairy bro-bot and lion man coming out together is an amusing coincidence because she was in charge of both those SSRs. I hope there is making-of art at that exhibition that’s coming next month.
>>557910631> exhibitionOoo I do hope there will be some decent merch. I remember at the last pop-up store, JPsisters were right pissed off that they kept running out of stock in the mornings, leaving nothing for the later groups.
>>557910631Sad... I can tell from typing style, too, that they're the same anons getting really catty with other anons at random. They're always the issue wherever they go.Also, neat. That explains why they're so peak. After all these years, FG Ortho is still my top pick for the most gorgeous groovy in the game.If we do get more making-of art, hope somebody sneaks some pics.
>>557913129Clawing for more concept art. I want to wallpaper my room in Yana's early design drafts.
>>557913129>>557910631Looking at the website it's gonna be mainly Beanfest, Fairy Gala 1, Wish Upon a Star, Vargas Camp and the first and second Halloweens, so only the stuff from when Yana was doing everything.I bet the Halloween section is going to be insane. Bring me the boys in corsets. Bring them.
Once again all praise to the 30AP limit. Gonna have all my boys max-friends at this rate.
I like how he wears different pair of glasses with each new outfit.
>>557928685I love my megane men.
>>557788048Announcement next month along with the announcement of the Pomefiore manga.
>>557956258I dig this artstyle
>>557962913
>>557963469
>>557928685I saw that one in the wild and sis was like “how many glasses does he own wtf” and I didn’t want to go in there and “actshually” a JPsis in English or broken Japanese so I shut up and eventually another JPsis told her that Azul only owns one pair of glasses as confirmed during Halloween, the others aren’t his and just come with the outfits. Always well served by keeping my mouth shut.
Does anyone here have OCs though? I trust /twst/ has better taste when it comes to OCs
>>557975735Thinking some people have "better taste" in imaginary friends than others? That is some mental-asylum-level shit.
>>557977435That's the whole point in being a yume
>>557978707>being a yume>mental-asylum-level shitWhatever makes them happy, I guess. But if someone honestly comes in here like "Actually, yes! The voices in my head are objectively superior to those of anyone else," they probably have more issues than just schizophrenic elitism.
I will never get over how they foreshadowed Idia's mom hacking into his computer as early as the union jacket birthday series. I want to quit my job and comb through all of Twst content released in the first two/three years and see what else was hinted at, full time.
>>557975735You mean this type of OC or OC for yume? Because they suck.
>>557982189It was so interesting to me that they didn't try to hide or downplay or dismiss the parents. They could have, easily. It's a fantasy world, they can do whatever they want. There would have been a few people saying "But where are the parents!?" just to stir drama, but if the parents were relevant to the story then they'd be there. If they weren't it would be because they were irrelevant, that's all. And they actually incorporated them. This is a pretty boy gacha, I would never have guessed that someone's mom and dad would have such a major role in the main story. Truly fascinating decision.
It’s so funny that there are so many azulfags on this board what a weird coincidence.
>>557994637I already forgot the popularity poll results. I do remember that Vil was higher than I'd expected, and no one liked Deuce or Jack.
Octanerds and lionjocks rejoice, new cards in 1.5 hours.
>>558000140Vil has consistently been the most popular one here according to all the polls. I wonder how much his popularity has risen in JP compared to a couple years ago? I remember hearing it was hard finding new fanart sometimes back then.
>>558005580>Extended maintenance by an hourDamnit
>>558005580Extended maintenance. A bunch of grumpy cat sisters in the responses of the tweet like “thank you for the hard work, no worries, please take your time……give me the lion.”
Kitty came on on pull 42 I am blessed. I have wanted prince Leona on my homescreen for one million years. Dethroning sleepytime Leona.
>>558007415Yeah I remember hearing that he's not so popular in JP, which is why his popularity here is so interesting. I know EN's more obnoxious people praise him for the trans rep that he isn't, but it's nice to see he's got fans amongst us degenerates here as well. He's not my favorite but he is an objectively great character and I love that for him.
This must feel like Christmas for that one leorid sis
Why is this octopus so damn erotic
>>558017445Making things unsettling in a sexual way is Yana’s whole brand and she channeled aaall of it into the fish mafia
It would kind of be worth it to roll for sheeportho just to be able to do this
>>558024258If I had more uncaps, I could have them wandering my guest room.
Got my boy and pumped him full of every possible item so now everything but guest room leveling is maxed out and I won't be able to watch him in lessons. Damn.
>>558017445In the vignette, Silver was so kind and innocent! And Azul seemed so pleased with Silver, with him manipulating him and using him, and loving all the sincere compliments from Silver that are in his "promotional" video, right? Good thing was Silver, the best boy, I don't think Azul would have been so happy if it had been another character.
>>558072184There is something so uncanny valley about this comment but I can't put my figure on exactly what. It reads like it was written by a Stepford wife.
>>558085908I will never get over the fact that they gave him a freaking straight jacket. I love this game.
TL is flooded in twst and olympics and I just realized there is no like, crossover. No one drawing Azul in a figure skating leotard. No one drawing rook at a shooting range. No one drawing Floyd snowboarding. Not complaining of course, the complete divide between gacha-otaku and sports fans is just kind of cute.
>>558103558That one american figure skater name dropped her fav anime in an interview. If she'd added "oh also I play this game twisted wonderland," dear god, imagine the influx.
>>558082137Leona's final line in his abyss thing, he says something about having a pride all of his own one day, and I am really interested by what that means. It could be anything from a dramatic renouncing of his princehood and starting his life over again somewhere else, or something as tiny as adopting Ruggie as his found family. Does he actually WANT a family redo? Or maybe it wasn't about family at all, it was just about surrounding himself with friends and living his best life. I need a "ten years later" LeoRug update basically. It is a need.
Mangadex is purging again, I wonder if they're trying to pull a crunchyroll and go legit.
Only 253 days until Halloween. What One Piece seiyuu are they going to be poaching for a beautiful but emotionally constipated man this time.
>>558114436I think they are.
>>558114436>>558122239They posted an announcement that they're getting rid of "problematic" content, I swear to god I saw a screenshot of a deleted tweet where they told people to "goon to lolis somewhere else."
Yanafied Madame Mim when?
>>558123613Yeah and someone brought up the Konosuba Megumi spin-off being tagged as loli, showing hypocrisy that they won't get rid of the popular titles that have similar content. At this point, we can't trust even fansites anymore in this day of age. We just gotta buy manga/doujinshi and keep shit to ourselves. Use AI to translate everything for us.
>>558124083I've been telling everyone who will listen that they gotta buy original-language stuff. Starting with that absolutely cursed Book 2 novel.
For the love of god I have once again forgotten to invite Azul to the goddam guest room I am a terrible host
Feels good to have your birthday a couple of days before your oshi's
>>557975735No, I've been in many fandoms yet never ever gave a fuck about OCs unless, in TWST's case, they're twisted versions of a canon disney character like this one >>558053883 or if you count it, personal interpretations of characters that have been mentioned and teased in the canon material but don't have an official design yet like the main cast's family members or some RSA students.
So heartwarming
>a ‘nation-founding face’ and a ‘nation-toppling face.’”
>>558153678Been enjoying the increase in Crowley fanart recently. Suspicious bird man.
So excited for the anni coming up but they could seriously just post a png of a cupcake on the loading screen and do nothing else and I'd still be thrilled, happy birthday Twst.
>>558171893I keep thinking about the chances of Anni releasing a new animated video showcasing the various RSA characters! And maybe more announcements about the second season of the anime, new mangas, and the OB Riddle Card.
>>558171893I hope they will re-run all of the OBs, I need to have them all.
>>558177348Please tell me why you are interested in rsa characters I would like to learn
>>558177506Seems unlikely, unfortunately. Since Riddle will probably not be appearing within the next 20 days, so soon after Leona.Or maybe they do a 6-of-7 rerun with everyone except Riddle?
>>558171893Blazing Jewel card releases...!? But dumping 22 of them on us at once would be insane. They could spread that content out over years.
>>558178578I still can't believe those weren't this year's birthday series. So many people complaining in advance about how much they were going to hate them and then they just never showed up.
>>558184782Blazing jewel is the new set to replace the club cards, trust
>>558187246Or maybe Master Chef? I'd take either one. I love love love those designs.>>558184782>So many people complainingAh, memories. When people don't have enough problems in their lives they will literally make things up to make themselves unhappy.
>>558187954Ashamed to admit I was afraid too, platinum jacket was a precedent and it just seemed like what any other gacha would do. Very pleased that twst seems to know what not to do though, which still surprises me. I think I just have the lowest expectations ever after years of playing other gachas
>>558189134Twst is my first/only gacha, so that probably explains my confusion at all the gloom and doom. Even if the birthday series was Blazing Jewel, there was no way it would've been worse than Platinum Jacket, that entire year of Disney jacking itself off using Yana's hands.
>>558189827I hadn't really thought about it but the birthday series all have almost zero mouse influence, I think? There are some movie callbacks in the first series but those are all tied into the characters' backstories/families. Union was about little brothers and deserted islands, Bloom was about school classes and hobbies, Loungewear was about makeup, Bonbon is about Sage's Island. I think it was really only Platinum that got all up in everybody's faces about THIS IS A DISNEY PROPERTY. And was objectively the worst one.
>>558171893What are the odds they will add special banners like last year (dorm specific showcases with past limited SSRs and SRs would be nice) instead of re-running dorm uniform SSRs for the xth time?
>>558150789I dare to say they have enough material to make their own series
>>558201365I'd watch it. The shenanigans that would abound.
>>558197307What are the odds they'll give me puppy ortho for being a loyal consumer zombie.But yeah something to replace or at least something to add onto the usual dorm showcases would be pretty neat. I wonder why they rerun those all the time.
Just saw someone casually reference SIlver's brother and keep wondering who it could possibly be. Malleus? Sebek? Deuce? A small creature that Lilia found outside?
>>558215983And I just found somebody wanting this info I got but when I went to their profile to message them I saw "proship dni," so, nevermind.Also the thought of lilia finding like, a wombat and being like "Silver this is your new sibling" is somehow hilarious. Mostly cause you know Silver would have one shot of looking mildly alarmed and then be like "can those hands hold a sword, or?"
>To those who are avoiding Twisted Wonderland because they think it's an otome game. First off, Twisted Wonderland feels a lot like a high-quality TRPG. If you like TRPGs, or games like Hoshiumusubi, I really, really recommend giving it a try. The main story is just that good.It's interesting that the JP side is having this issue too. They needed to call it "Disney's Twisted Wonderland: Not an Otome."
>>558220307>Don't worry it's not an otome>It's actually goodkek
>>558223408TWST is definitely one of the more successful joseimukes in current modern times. Every other one is trying to ride off that similar success. Look at the recent cleaning product one that has been announced. RIP Rider Kamens too.
I always found crazy that people call Diasomnia a family on twitter when it's just>Monarch>Slave Cuck>Slave #2, son of the original slave>Grandson of another slave training to become another slaveDo you think they even get paid for this?
>>558187246true if big
>>558187954I'm getting nostalgic for when character songs were more popular. Imagine if with each Blazing Jewel card release they would release a mini CD that had a solo character song for those who just liked the boy, and a duet that included the duo buddy. This would bethe "look, we did an idol set finally," for the game.
>>558245965If they do this they might need to be careful about not overdoing it or making it the main content for the year, because like how people don't like otome there are those who hate idol shit too. There were already complaints popping up about how people who don't like the idol genre felt left out of 5th anniversary, only mitigated by there being at least an in-game rhythmic event
>>558210358>I wonder why they rerun those all the time.See, I understand why they were doing it during the game's earlier years but there are enough limited SR+ cards by now, they should make it a bit easier to obtain them instead of just holding an annual event. Getting dorm uniform SSRs isn't that exciting anymore (especially if you're an old player), you can basically get Hearts/Savanaclaw for free when creating a new account for fuck's sake, there's no point in doing special anniversary banners only for these anymore.
>>558247783>those who hate idol shitThat's me, and I'm still struggling with Blazing Jewel, but in a good way somehow? I really don't like idol shit. I don't understand the appeal and it all looks the same. Real-life or video game stuff, it's just not interesting and I can't force myself to care. But BJ was different and I can't figure out why. And it's not like I 100% loved all the BJ songs/performances or anything, but the fact I loved any at ALL is weird to me. I enjoyed the little in-game event about rehearsals. I liked the music videos, despite being a combination of idolshit and didneyslop, two things I really dislike. And I loved the virtual show. And I can't figure out why. Twst is always working some weird magic to keep me invested in his disney cashgrab as it is, and they took a gamble with extending that to yet another genre I do not care for, and made me care for it hard. Really weird.So my knee-jerk reaction is to condemn Twst going in the idol direction, but I would've vetoed BJ entirely, and they proved me wrong with that. Maybe they'll do it again. Weird.
>>558272752I've looked into the woman who is in charge of Twst's music and it seems she wasn't exactly a huge deal before Twst, wasn't exactly getting a ton of work, if you catch my drift. But she is doing banger after banger with Twst and I don't know if she finally found her calling or if it's once again Yana being a goddamn goddess or what. We know that Yana is giving input and having changes made to the music, you add a sprinkle of Yana to anything and it turns into gold, apparently. Except Skate-Leading Stars perhaps, but she wasn't calling the shots, no responsibility there.
Sometimes I think about that interview Sugiyama Noriaki gave when the anime came out about how he used to voice creatures in foreign cartoons but he usually voices attractive men in anime, so voicing Grim has been nostalgic.Grim getting a human form would be inSANE.
>>558289705Some think it would be endgame after saving Grim. Cause you know, monster beast, gets saved by power of friendship/love, becomes human. Being human now means he can continue NRC without Player.
>>558289950>can continue NRC without Player.Is him being human going to make him any easier to control? Or is the only thing keeping him from being sorted into a dorm and becoming a housewarden's problem the fact that he's a catdemon thing? Gonna end up in Pomefiore and Vil is going to be like "god fucking damn it."
>>558289705ikemen catboy trust
>>558279103Yana's passion and love for her work is infectious. Crazy stroke of luck and genius that twst landed in her hands, wasn't it said before that twst was originally going to be something more akin to an idol raising game and Yana's ideas were so good they just handed it to her to handle instead? Best decision ever. Original idea would've died as fast as Star Smash, how's Mirrorverse doing now I wonder
>>558305786I dunno about the idol thing, what I've seen is that she thought she was just being asked to apply to be put in charge of character design and ended up being given the whole project instead, but she's Japanese and a Disneyfag, so there is no way she's gonna say "Disney asked me to submit my portfolio to potentially become the character designer and then changed their mind after hearing my ideas," even though that's probably what happened, so in her interview it's phrased like "I thought I was going to be the character designer only, I will not say anything about how it is that I came to that conclusion, silly me."
>>558082137Fics of overblot Leona ravishing dream Ruggie fucking when?
>>558311349oh my god new fetish unlocked
>>558314531He's also realizing that the benevolent prince he idolizes so much is actually a violent self-pitying villain.So it's like a double rape.
>>558316861Would dream-Riddle idolize him like real-Riddle does, though? I can imagine dream-Riddle and overblot-Leona hate-fucking and it is delish. "shut the fuck up" - "no you shut the fuck up" and shagging.
Someone remind me in 12 hours to do special lessons with azul because I keep forgetting
>>558289705I was watching a clip with grim in it the other day and my speakers bugged out or something so everyone was sounding a little off, and I swear I could hear the ikemen in him. That little bastard has the voice of Naruto's Sasuke, Bleach's Ishida and Black Butler's Will. It would be so funny if they hired Sugiyama with his background of "creatures and sassy men" to be the voice of a character that starts out a creature and then turns into a sassy man. It's Twst, I'd believe it.
All the anni talk has me wondering if we will legit get a blaze jewel banner this year. I haven’t spent money on this app in years but it might finally be time, they all look so damn good in that series.
Happy birthday Tako-chan!
I love my stinky octo.
I'm waiting for the Blu-ray release of Blazing Jewel, because the video will have much better quality, camera work, and angles than the Disney Plus version, right?
>>558365610There was an ad a little while back that had waaay better quality than the streaming version yeah, and they said there will be options for different camera angles, iirc.
jpsisters are on another level...
>>558379917And excellent taste. I wonder how she navigates that room when she wants to add a poster or something.
>>558365610Holy shit I forgot about that for a second doesn’t that come out on the 18th? Yessssss just going to have it playing on loop for the first month, I am dying from blazing Jewel deficiency.Also if subtitle-anon want to do the other intermissions that’d be super neat but no pressure.
>>558394571That's the plan! I've always wanted to do TwstFes too, but it's just so long my motivation crashes. With 1/3rd of Blazing Jewel already subtitled, I'm hoping I'll be able to do the rest of the show once it comes out without my brain melting.
>>558317848>"shut the fuck up" - "no you shut the fuck up" and shagging.And Real!Ruggie off to the side recording it for a paid livestream, tech stuff overseen by Dream!Ruggie. The argument over who gets what percentage of profits will be legendary.
>>558408134One of the points I liked about the dreams is how Ruggie and Deuce suddenly became good students but it wasn't because they actually got any smarter. It was a prison of their own minds, so they couldn't make themselves know more than they did, like an author trying to write a character who is smarter than themselves. Ruggie says straight out that the didn't suddenly become a model student, it's just that all the test questions were things he already knew. They didn't change, their environments just adapted to suit their limitations.In retrospect it makes sense but I still find it so interesting. They didn't wake up and go back to being dumb, they themselves didn't change at all, all Malleus does is make little terrariums of the mind without touching the person themselves. What a neat concept.
>>558411604>an author trying to write a character who is smarter than themselvesMy dumb ass trying to write Leona fic.
>>558417190Reminds me of the time the members of JPsis discord I’m in all decided to play Among Us in character as Twst guys. Absolutely zero of us chose our oshi, everyone chose someone oshi-adjacent in some unspoken fandom rule, it was so funny. I like to think I’m decent at writing for Ruggie but I only get compliments on AO3 for my portrayal of the autistic lizard.
>>558247783Yana loves playing with genre but man do people get up in arms about it. The sports-anime-style arc in Black Butler was hilarious, and then she pivoted right into an idol arc? Funniest shit in the world, but there are people out there it pissed right off. No one lets Yana be funny. Charlatans.Actually now that I think about it did Twst do the same thing backwards, from idol to shounen sports story with the interscholastic games coming up?
>>558426591>shounen sports storyNot with these assholes kekThat'd basically just be Jack's dream again
I remembered that Ortho's mom built him that body in book 7 and had the thought of "hey so that was kind of like his mother giving birth to him in the most literal way she could given their situation" but then I realized that that goes both ways and would loop around to Idia having given birth to his own dead brother, so that was certainly a thought to have. I hope I looked like I was concentrating at work because I was not, was thinking of an anime-disney-boy and his mother both giving birth to the same dead child.
>>558479250cute!
Twst is top 3 joseimuke in the nothing-month of feb, so that's good, but how the fuck is ensemble stars making almost three times the profit, that art is so shit.
>>558497978And the boys on it are just plain and soulless cardboards.
>>558497978>>558503446Are any of the songs in Ensemble Stars any good?
>>558497978>nothing-month of feb>lion OBShaaame
>>558497978>>558503446>>558503562That's something I've been wondering myself as well a while ago. Twst seems to have a bigger presence online nowadays, many fans are dissatisfied with Enstars's current state (EN fans at least), I agree that the character designs aren't good and they arr rook the same but with different hairstyles/colors ( however let's say this one is purely subjective and this is a common issue with gachas anyway ) yet it's still outselling Twst? Is it because Enstars music is legit good or is their japanese fanbase that dedicated and loyal?
>>558510821Theorising here but probably the latter. Enstars is an idol game and it's 10 years old? I've seen people do really crazy spending in idol culture, loyalty is part of the game and whatever we think about it now can't negate the huge following it has gathered over those years because of the bigger mainstream appeal. They have way more things to pull than twst too. Adding on my personal experience, twst feels very f2p friendly. I've seen a JP post once admitting to never spending money on it since they've been doing just fine pulling for their oshi f2p but the story was so good they decided to start paying monthly as appreciation kek
>>558513397I've never touched ENstars cause it looks shit but I agree. I bet after a certain point it just becomes a part of your everyday life. You pay ENstars like you pay your gas or electric bill. It's not a good or bad, it's just...what you do. Like a subscription.>paying monthly as appreciation kekI've done that too. Don't particularly NEED anything and would be perfectly fine not spending money, but throwing occasional cash their way is the closest I'll ever come to being able to send bank transfers straight to Yana and Ozawa, so that's what I do. Having ggwp out there for free on YouTube is a crime, I would pay for that no question.
>>558517053>for free on YouTubeI hope Bjewel's recording sells really well, would love to encourage more of that stuff, doing a real world/in-game overlap was nuts.
Just saw a live-action-moana ad. I wonder if they're gonna give us a moana event. Give another 1/3rd of the cast beach outfits. I'm thinking: Cater, Leona, Ruggie, Jade, Malleus, Jamil
>>558525679Twstfes was 2023, yeah? And BJ in 2025? I wonder if they're gonna keep up with every-other-year live events.
>>558532614Does enstars do stuff like that? Is there anyone on this board who can tell us anything about enstars. Or are we all cursed with good taste.
>>558529805I admit I keep thinking that if Fairy Gala can get a remix, then because of Lilo & Stitch 2, the chances of them doing a Lost in the Book with Stitch remix are high! Maybe they didn't think about it when the first live-action movie was released, but with the success of the film, and I bet Yana liked the movie, when the sequel was released, they might release an "If" version of the Stitch event, with maybe other experiments, like Angel? But then, which characters would be in a new version of the Stitch event? Silver, Sebek, Leona, Ruggie, Idia, Ortho, and Jade?
Does anyone remember if any interesting info came out of last year's Anime Japan Twst stage?The hosts for this year are Tamaru and Furuta.
>>558502124Cute
Anon we appreciate the thread bumps but I swear to god if you hit the image limit when we still have 500 posts to go in this thread
Are any of the OB cards even good? I've been using the same teams for the past few joint exams because I'm too lazy to rethink buddy bonuses.
>>558629561Now that you mention it the joint exam thing coming up in an hour will be a great time to test that out. I've been loving OB Azul and Leona but I might just like watching the little attack animations. Mental breakdowns in chibi form. Love the hyenas.
>>558629561Idia is very OP Malleus' cosmic boost makes him very useful in cosmic examsAzul is a health regen beastJamil and Leona are pretty strong attackers tooAnd I heard that Vil is so-and-so but I don't have him to give my opinion
>>558633139Oh man I forgot about OBMal, I use him all the time but I also have basically no other cosmic cards.
Maintenance extension, odd. I wonder if they're pre-loading for the anniversary.
Getting my butt kicked in the cosmic battle as we speak god damn.
Twst has me wondering if I only started complimenting things as "absolutely beautiful" after Book 5 or if I've always said it as a part of just speaking english but I didn't notice how much I say it until after Book 5.
I wonder if there is already someone who has made it to S6. I just got to S2 and it's the highest I've ever gotten.
>>558656758I got S2 as well but my flora and cosmic teams suck ass so I don't think I can do better than that.
>>558544821I don't know the answer of your question, but I've seen jpsisters speculating that:>The introduction of Prince Rielle and Twst Jasmine as we do know that 2C will compete together>Anime-related news (but why would Azul and Kalim's seiyuus be the hosts since Savanaclaw is the next book to get adapted)>A new Lost in the Book event featuring Kalim and Azul as SSRs this spring (I personally think this one is the most likely to happen)
>>558664960Huh??Wrong thread homosuck anon
>>558665331Sorry, meant to post this. Would Azul's teeth be like bone teeth? Or is it like small beaks in a mouth since octopusii don't really have teeth?
>>558665863Kek, is this the artist's thinly veiled fetish or something?
>>558593214Jamil always seems to get lots of "copying the Disney counterpart" type art.
Hm…
Amazing update lets us choose and set supports for each exam. No more praying your whale friend changes to what you need.
I think it's slightly cute how Azul's seiyuu has his birthday a couple of days after his character.
>>558662731People who try to connect the hosts to the content are so cute. I bet all my madol that Furuta isn't there for a Kalim-relevant reveal, he is there because he's cheap. The guy barely works, probably had the most open schedule and the lowest rate, that's all. Tamaru is a little busier so I could imagine a connection to Azul in some way I guess, if someone decided it had to be him and his schedule allowed it.
>>558702387This is a baseless and bitchy thing of me to say so I can't ever say it on main but you know how furuta never smiles in photos? I think he hates his nose. He practically ruined the presser for the first twst exhibit cause Hanae was there doing a proper job and he just stood there staring like a dead fish. It is so hard to find a photo of him smiling, but he is super expressive and energetic in live events, and I think it's cause smiling makes his nose look big and he's self conscious about it. I couldn't believe they let him promote the exhibition like this, all the photos are just like this, what were they thinking?
>>558702387One thing that his jp va and dubber have in common: struggle to get people to pay attention to them kekhis dubber posted to fucking reddit introducing himself. that's how you know you're a bottom-of-the-barrel dubber.
Keep trying to figure out why ENsisters keep talking about these but I'm not sure I get the attraction. They're just more trinkets? Maybe I'm missing something. Twst going to impressive lengths to invent merch that can't be sent overseas.
>>558728387Proxies gonna be getting instructions to break them open and dump out the black stuff, bet.
EN is dropping Idia's OB and Vil's OB together. I'm not a "death flag" kind of person but I would love to start spreading the rumor that EN is gonna EoS and they're squeezing the fandom for all they got first. They deserve it.
>>558740325It is quite odd. I have been saying forever that EN seems desperate for cash. That isn't to say that JP doesn't want our money. It is a gacha, it is a literal money-making machine. But a third rerun of Glorious Masquerade? EN-exclusive clubwear reruns? And then they ran through the events and main story so fast that they caught up. We'd all been assuming that was their aim but apparently not, because now they're rerunning Ridunzel less than a year after the first run because they just don't have any other content to use. They went too fast. There was never a plan. What did they think was going to happen?
>>558740325Imo they're doing this either because the EN profits are bad or the anime has brought a new wave of fans and they're trying to milk them dry. Crazy ass schedule either way, two OBs and a fan-favorite event card whose initial run was approx. 4 months ago? JP server would never.
>Birthday Jacket from free 10 roll>Cozy Clothes from 10 gem right afterAzul hot period, crazy luck. Also damn, this is THE Azul card for me, no glasses and bed sex hair.>>558740325
>>558747349>What did they think was going to happen?It's like EN is living every month as though it might be their last. "We might get shut down in February, but we know we're here through January, so quick, boardgame Idia rerun and OB Malleus out together." Then 30 days later, "We might get shut down in March, but we know we're here through February, so quick, OB Vil and Idia together than that rapunzel thing, this could be our only chance to rerun it." That's how they've been working for four years now. No wonder the localization sucks if they're working on 200% speed to try and beat a clock that might end everything at any time.
Sitting here minding my own business and suddenly remember Miyamoto's line reading in the first episode of the anime. Just him going まったく!but so perfectly in character, I love that grandpa.
Abema anni announcement let's gooo it's literally the entire first year class, they were able to get fucking aoi "god himself" showta for their little gacha livestream, twst is so cool.
Hey oldfags were ENers even more annoying before EN server because they didn't actually know what was going on and would make stuff up, or were they less annoying because the lack of English content acted like gatekeeping against the more obnoxious people? I'm wondering how hard I should be wishing for EN to EOS.
>>558764574EN fandom was less obnoxious before because it was much less numerous and a lot of people in there knew japanese. Gatekeeping definitely was a big factor on why it didn't suck as much.
>>558764574It's too late to gatekeep EN by eos the game server at this point, considering the anime, manga, and novels. Did you forget a good chunk of them don't even play the game? People will "translate" the jp server anyway if it comes to it. Still blows my mind we had people actually claiming the novels were the superior way to experience twst of all things.
>>558759818I think they're going to reveal more news about Book 8, right?
Where are the rumors of a glorimas movie coming from, there's a bunch of jp theories about it did I miss something
>>558784559I've also seen some people saying this and I'm confused. What could be the origin of these rumors? And is it possible to make a good movie out of this story?
>>558774554The novels are the superior way to experience twst. If you can read Japanese. Cause the english ones are pure shtit.
>>558809015No different from the game, then. Every time I switch from my en account to my jp account it's like "oh, right, this is actually good."
Call me strange but I really couldn't fathom caring enough to actively desire EN's shutdown. It's absolutely not up to snuff on quality but it also has literally zero bearing or effects on JP's side; it's existence can be ignored entirely without consequence.>But the EN fans are annoying!So? Block them and move on, you aren't forced to interact with them, it's not like they wouldn't be annoying cretins without being interested in twst anyway. You're not losing cool points from being into twst because they're also into twst, it's a disney anime boy gacha game, people who would think you're uncool for enjoying the same things as them already think you're uncool for enjoying it.
>>558818240>it's not like they wouldn't be annoying cretins without being interested in twstIt's amazing how many people don't get this. I've seen hate again fujoshi for the same thing and it's like, sure. Some of those people are annoying as hell and should probably be institutionalized. But not because they're fujoshi. The gay porn is not the problem, those people would be annoying as hell even without the porn. Some people are fundamentally fucked up, but that is not the porn's fault, or Twst's fault, or Disney's fault or whatever. They're just annoying people on a molecular level and should be ignored.But I do understand not wanting those kinds of people in your circle. If I could excommunicate every annoying person from my immediate area, I would. And if EN shutting down will assist with that, there's no harm in hoping EN shuts down. It's not like people saying "I do or do not want EN to EOS" is going to affect anything at the end of the day anyway, who cares.
>>558818240The people who complain the most about EN players here are as mentally ill as the people they hate. If you can read JP, there's no reason to be wasting your time pissing yourself off hanging around the subreddit or whatever unless there's something psychologically wrong with you.>>558510821Enstars had enduring popularity because it fairly competently covered a lot of ground with little competition in the joseimuke market for a long time. Most of the properties that have come to inherit its popularity with female audiences only cover specific corners of what it provided, like twst with its well-written ensemble cast of highly-driven assholes or hypmic as a musically executed narrative project.Sure, there were other male idol games like i7 and idolmas sideM, but the... I don't know how else to put it, strangeness? Of the characters and writing in enstars for an idol property allowed it to pull in fans who wouldn't have typically been interested in idol media. i7 has brother drama, and enstars has HiMERU, who speaks exclusively in third person while impersonating his estranged dead brother in order to exact misguided revenge on another idol, whose main character gimmick is that he's devoutly Christian. When the sequel game came out, they had to come up with reasons why all of the newly introduced boys had never been seen in the first run, and one of the character explanations was that Mayoi was there the whole time, but he was just living inside the walls of the school. It took place in modern day, but more often than not felt completely divorced from reality for reasons independent of the idol setting. It's up to you whether any of that is good, but you're really not going to find it anywhere but enstars.It's been going on a long time, though, and poor decisions on the part of the developer, hand in hand with the writer obviously getting tired of working on the IP, have turned it into a pale shadow of its former self.
Thinking about that one enstars concert where two Rei oshis got into a fist fight in front of Midorikawa Hikaru.Which twst boy is most likely to have this happen between his fans?
>>558824090Described like that and enstars actually sounds kind of interesting but I will never be able to get over how awful the art is.
>>558825474Midorikawa has got the worst luck with fans, the poor guy.I can imagine any yume doing that in general, though. Those people are nuts.
I love the OB chibis turning up in the guest rooms and floating around like evil spectres. Vargas was a jumpscare though.
>>558824090God, remembering all of the insane shit they were up to in enstars is so. It really is all about perspective, isn't it. Vil's whole deal with Neige was kind of extreme in the context of Book 5 but when you compare it to enstars it's like... Oh yeah, you hate this other performer so badly you want him dead. Get in line. At least he didn't drive a bunch of people to suicide in pursuit of creating the best idol group like Eichi kek.I feel like the most interesting thing to me is that enstars is the only joseimuke i can think of that pulled in a decent number of male fans? Ig since it had actual rhythm gameplay as a pull, but i saw a lot of male fanartists back in the day.>>558827536I prefer twst's art too bc the costuming is way more intentionally designed and yana's distinctive art style really matches the setting.I still like enstars' art, though. I guess games like mhyk coming out and poorly apeing enstars's art direction made me appreciate it more.
>>558832876The face of true evil kek. Twst is ostensibly about villains but i think in terms of misdeeds eichi puts most of them on suicide watch(Spoilered for off topic, sorry guys, will return to twst talk immediately)
>>558833565Yeah this is the kind of art I'm talking about. It's so generic. That face looks like it was doodled in a teenage girl's notebook after reading her first "how to draw manga" book.
>>558833857Honestly the fact that these guys were so genuinely insane while all of the card art was generic glitzy idol shit was kinda peak but I get it not being everybody's taste. I'm 90% sure the main writer for enstars is actually mentally ill. Not for the outlandish backstory stuff but because of shit like linkrel: https://uquiz.com/quiz/InKnrS/who-said-it-classical-russian-literature-or-ensemble-stars >>558833565Fr though the way ibara has everybody living off of idol scrip by 2nd is like Azul's wet dream lmfao
>>558835660I'm not a fan of edgy for edgy type of stories, something dark doesn't necessarily make it good, looking at what anons are saying here it's probably not my cup of tea if the art didn't already turn me away. Twst feels more purposeful. Having Yana be so passionate about the ip is a huge plus. Once upon a time long ago though I applauded games like enstars and tkrb for at least giving joseimuke more attention and mainstream acclaim but now seeing them get away with poor quality and shoveling idol shit just doesn't sit well with me. It's like they know they can get away with the bare minimum and they do too.
>>558838809If your game is going to be the top-selling IP, earning three-times as much as the next best-seller, no matter what you do? Yeah, you're gonna go onto autopilot sooner or later. I don't think Yana even has an autopilot, a mangaka out here telling a professional musician how to make music, and she is goddamn right. Damn. Maybe it's a shakespeare situation and she's actually like eight people in a trenchcoat.
>>558838809>edgy for edgy typeNot really? That's just what these series tend to sound like when fans are casually talking about them, I've seen the same occur with twst many times in the wild as well.Same as you're not going to get into a full play-by-play of how Lilia's backstory reveals the depths of what he's survived to become the playful but beloved figure he is to the Diasomnia group in a random convo, it's not like a couple of fans mentioning things off topic are going to give you a full rundown of the slowburn friendship development over the years through which Kanata has unlearned the dehumanization of his youth to achieve personhood.Enstars can be criticized for what it's become in the past couple years, largely due to some poor writing decisions, but a big part of why those writing decisions have been so poorly received is because the development up to that point had been treasured by fans. Your criticisms as somebody who doesn't actually seem familiar with the series are somewhat premature and uninformed.
>>558839516I used to worry a lot about Yana burning out eventually as she's only human at the end of the day, but one one of her hidden strengths is definitely that she's good at delegation and utilizes her studio to its fullest while still maintaining creative control. It's the same sort of "soft" skill that has kept other prolific multiproject creators like Kinoko Nasu in the business for so many years.My biggest fear on the creator side is just that twst will eventually overstay its welcome, which I've seen happen before with other IPs. I know we all like to say here that we're fine with the status quo forever as long as we get to keep seeing our boys, but the financial reality is that titles like twst need regular injections of shiny new things to keep earning momentum going and henceforth stay afloat. This is where enstars stumbled in recent years imo. It continues to outsellf twst because the scope of its audience vastly eclipsed twst's to begin with, but it lost a lot of audience due to the addition of new cast in a manner that unpopularly upset existing dynamics. It's a difficult line to walk, and they successfully pulled off something similar at large scale in 2020 with 2nd, but failed spectacularly with the latest attempt.
>>558841590Yeah I'm worried about where they're going, too. A thing about stories like this is they have to end. People who play Twst aren't the 12 year old boys stuck on one piece and dragonball. I am the first person on the front line defending book 7 from people who bitch about it being too long, but even I know that things can't go on indefinitely and that is actually part of the appeal, the fact that there is a ticking clock and the school year in-game is actually moving forward, with characters getting older and everything. There is like one, maybe two months left in the NRC school year by this point. I do not believe for a moment that they are going to move the 3rd years into internships to continue this timeline. I do not believe there is going to be a new year of first-years. This game is its characters, and the characters are only popular because of their dynamics. Aging everyone into the next school year would be throwing away 6 years of dynamics, 6 years of the reason why people play Twst. It's just not going to happen. Period.So wtf are they going to do then? We don't know and thank god for that because the ideas I've seen people suggest are always crap. The only choice is to trust Yana and not worry about stuff we can't influence or change. Presumably, they have a plan. They've been seeing the rise and fall of the same gacha that we have and will not be blindly making the same mistakes. Gotta tell myself I am only allowed to worry about the future of a disney anime boy gambling simulator once the mouse starts paying me to do so and not a minute sooner.
>>558809015>Fraction of the amount of Yana artwork>No Voice Acting & no 2D Live Model animations>No Vignettes>No Event/Birthday outfits, stories, and charactersGoing with a resounding "No" to that claim. The Twst cast truly shines thanks to all that the mobage format can offer. The novels can be neat for world building or alternate ways of doing certain things but that's more of an added bonus on top of what is already established by the game. The novels also have to waste screentime on arguably one of the worst Yuus out there. I'd only rank Yuuka lower. Recommending the novel over the game is like recommending the anime over the VN for F/SN.
>>558843648I totally agree.This is the inherent tragedy of live-service story-driven games, I guess... I've been playing mobage for well over a decade now (been around since a few years before FGO first showed the world that mobage could be a serious storytelling format) and I've never seen one make a graceful exit. The business model demands you keep going until you're no longer profitable, and you either die young and beautiful having failed to reach a paying audience, or live to see yourself become a soulless shell of what you once were. I hate to say it, but it's almost better for something good to die prematurely than it is for it to rot to that extent.Like all mediums, things are always changing, though, so maybe a new way of closing things out will be found in the coming years. Best thing we can do is as you say, trusting the process and relishing the good times while they're here.
>>558844179Disparaging the novel for a lack of voice acting and animation is hilarious and also retarded. And it's not better than the entire IP, it is the objectively better retelling of the main story.
>>558844453I keep trying to think of an option and I just can't. Maybe they will just legit end the thing before it gets too shit, who knows, "Thanks for playing Disney's Twisted Wonderland." It would be sad but it would be graceful, which is not something Disney is known for being. I also lowkey wonder if part of getting Yana onboard was the promise of a deadline. Like, a set ending, so that she can go back to Kuroshi.
>>558838809Sorry that we gave you a poor impression, but I don't want to imply that enstars is just gonzo for the sake of being crazy. It's successful because the writer successfully maneuvres under the bright and larger-than-life idol veneer to ask serious questions about what it means to be broken and incomplete human beings navigating a cut throat society. All of these characters come from diverse and sometimes tragic backgrounds into odd solidarities with one another that may not portray a normal ideal relationship, but mutually provides what they need to heal and strive for whatever their better tomorrow looks like. Enstars is infamous for having a very intense and often mentally ill fanbase and it's absolutely exhausting to exist in, but I think it's because the topics the series tackles resonate with a lot of people who are lost and hurting.The head writer has been working on this sprawling IP for over a decade now (enstars was preceded by a girl idol game in the same universe that EOS'd early) and has understandably lost steam– I empathize with a creator who's given their best with no hand in choosing when their child gets to see its exit. I appreciate the work that's been done, and saying that he's mentally ill wasn't meant to denigrate the overall quality of the writing– I think personal struggles with existence can be turned into good art that saves people. It's the unfortunate reality that there isn't a suitable replacement to properly pick up the mantle and keep enstars going in a good direction, and that it's not allowed to die. We should be so lucky if the same doesn't happen to twst one day, as others have discussed.
>>558841337>>558846309Oh damn anons I wasn't expecting these and will fully admit fault like anon said that I am uninformed since I don't play it. I also poorly worded what very specific and possibly nitpicky part of my tastes that stops me from getting into enstars. Hope we good here, didn't mean it as criticism.>>558844179Ch7 is a huge problem to adapt due to how much it uses the mobage format. There's just no replicating seeing Idia's special skill is summoning and then watching it come full circle summoning everyone to battle in a gacha pull. Laughed really hard
>>558847947I'll admit that that moment wouldn't be the same in novel format but also the novels are never going to get to book 7 anyway so the point is moot. I can confidently say we're never getting a 4th one, and at this rate we might not even be getting a third. But the first and second ones were way, way better than the main story of the game. Especially Leona's.>Yuuya bitchingYeah it figures that americans don't like protagonists like that. It's the same reason why ENers all have dragon empresses from venus as their OCs and JPers have normal school girls. Cultural differences.
>>558838809Dunking on irl idolshit i get but fixating this hard on a mobage being idolshit over and over is weird. We play twisted wonderland, people constantly make fun of it for being anime boy disneyshit. We should know better than anybody else not to judge something for superficial reasons
>>558847947We're cool, I was half speaking up just because I was worried I'd misrepresented enstars when talking with that other anon. A lot of things that draw me to twst's writing in the present are things that drew me to enstars's writing in its heyday, so I'd hate for people here to think it's just full of shallow edge. I appreciate that we can have peaceful discussions in this thread.Hope you have a good day/night, anon.
>>558841590>the addition of new cast in a manner that unpopularly upset existing dynamicsUgh, yeah. For those who aren't in the know, this is referring to the sudden addition of a new character who had never been alluded to or mentioned before to the unit Akatsuki. Akatsuki is one of the idol units of the original enstars game, so this was a trio that had an established dynamic developed over the course of a decade of content suddenly being upset with the addition of a new member.I bring this up because this is my concern whenever fans mention injecting the series with new life by bringing in the 4th years or introducing a fresh wave of 1st years.The enstars 2020 revamp was successful because new characters were able to be introduced as their own units with their own dynamics. In a crude approximation of twst's vocabulary, this would be like introducing new dorms. Enstars' 2025 drama, in comparison, would be like introducing a new character to Pomefiore with little to no consideration of Pomefiore's existing dynamics or aesthetics.It's not like I have the professional background of Yana and co., so maybe they can think of a way to introduce new staple cast members that isn't disruptive. But I have a very hard time seeing it going well, as twst's interpretation of a school setting is more rigid than enstars's is.
>>558849985>an established dynamic developed over the course of a decade of content suddenly being upset with the addition of a new member.This is exactly what I'm afraid of for Twst, and exactly what the en children I see talking about, and exactly why I am so baffled by those who don't seem to think anything is wrong with it. It is so beyond comprehension to me that someone would come up with the generic idea of "what if we added a new year!?" and think they are god's gift to originality and creative genius when no, no, no, that sounds just so terrible, it would ruin everything. It is like talking to a space alien.
>>558850441I could see it going well with the 4th years coming back to campus as new core cast if twst had consistently hinted at these characters existing in any tangible capacity beyond just "4th years exist". But despite twst being a well plotted-out series that's gone in for the long haul with a lot of its developments, we just haven't seen any inkling of that. So I find it unlikely that it will happen, and if it does happen in the current environement, I'm going to think it's a result of producerside cash grabbing.My ideal would be for them to find a nice closing point on twst, shut it down gracefully, and put out a legacy version with all of the content available in one package like what Mega Man X Dive did. And then maybe a new project set in the same universe can be rolled out with a different theme focus than villains, giving space to continue expanding the world and leaving opportunity for the original twst's characters to make cameos. It's not favorable, but I'd even accept them bringing on a new artist/writer for this project and just having Yana in to write cameo events where the old characters appear, because a new project would be divorced enough from the original twst for me to not care. I guess because I've just seen too many good story mobage die ugly deaths after having their canon disfigured by attempts to strangle just a bit more life out of them.Sorry for all the downer talk guys. I do kind of feel like I'm talking about grandma dying while she's still healthy and happy in the room with us, kek, I'll drop it after this.
>>558851556Yeah I can see them dropping Yana and bringing in another creative, or more likely multiple new creatives. They've kind of been doing that since day one, yeah? The anthologies, the art galleries, the manga, all these published books of people who aren't yana and have no connection to Twst being brought in to write for it. Just like Yana gets called onto projects like touken ranbu to contribute, maybe they'll start calling calling in other people. It's in line with precedent, but personally if Yana is out then I am out, too. It would be a clean graduation point for old fans, and I doubt I'd be the only one, and I doubt the game is ignorant to that. There's that hollywood reporter interview out there with disney execs who said straight out that they wanted yana for this project because 1) she's a huge disneyfag but also 2) she comes with her own, built-in fanbase. That's one of the things they bought when they hired her, and I could see them losing it if they lose her.
>>558852667Yeah, that's why I think they'd have to have a clean cut ending the current twst as we know it with Yana's stated consent even if they want to start a new project with a different creative spearheading. It'd have to be a new cast even if it's in the Twisted Wonderland universe, too, for me to be okay with it. There are plenty of other artists and writers who have huge followings they could bring on.Honestly people here tend to talk like Yana is unique in her creative output and the diversity of projects she's gotten onto between twst and Kuroshitsuji, but she's only singular in that she's a female artist catering to a female fanbase that's done this. I'm not saying this to lower her regard– rather, I'd like to see new female-catered female creatives step up and follow suit if and when the day comes that Yana feels like she's done here and the stars align.>>558226492Moving beyond the scope of twst again but it still pisses me off that they pulled Yuya Takahashi for Ride Kamens when IMO he's produced the most vapid entries to Kamen Rider in the past decade. The latter 2010s when Ex-Aid yaoi reigned supreme were so bleak. There are plenty of other writers who have a better handle on what makes the female KR fanbase tick. If we could have gotten even a fraction of Junko's humor and sincerity with a side of her gleeful sadism (during Gavv last year I actually saw men complaining that it seemed like male ryona was her thinly concealed fetish), Ride Kamens could have had better wings. But the designs alone told me that that project had grossly misinterpreted what female fans would have wanted out of a Kamen Rider joseimuke. Like, do they think we don't have eyes??? What were those dogshit suits they tried to pass of on us??? But I digress.Every day I'm so thankful that twst JP exists as a relatively competent and enjoyable joseimuke despite being under Disney. So many other IPs that could have gold on their hands have zero idea what fans want.
>>558854243>dogshit suitsHad to google "ride kamens" to follow what is going on and huh. Those are some looks.
>>558854737The designs they gave Ride Kamens felt condescending and out of touch. The majority of Kamen Rider fanart comes from female artists who show a great appreciation for the main series' suits in their careful rendering, and here Ride Kamens is acting like women can't get into Kamen Rider unless they explicitly show them at all times that these ugly, pale imitations have anime boys in there. Embarrassing failure to trust both your fanbase and the power of your own IP.This is why it's so important to give creative freedom to somebody who is an actual fan with an understanding of what your target fanbase wants. Yana is so skillful that I've been compelled to go back and watch Disney movies I haven't thought about in decades. That's potency.
If they don't rerun Savanaclaw Rook on JP I'm going to do something drastic
>>558855496>compelled to go back and watch Disney moviesTwst hasn't been subtle about how that is one of the purposes of the whole game, to keep Disney movies relevant in the culture and people re-watching them and buying Disney shit because of it, like the world's longest and most plot-driven commercial. And I am right there with you, I am annoyed by how effective it is, as one of the hypocrites who adores twst but dislikes Disney. How dare they. But then Yana comes in like "And that oogie boogie thing, that was a fun time, right? Anyway, here is this ancient fae who escaped from prison" and it's like god fucking damn it Yana you are correct, and now I want to rewatch Nightmare Before Christmas.
>>558856519I genuinely couldn't care less about Disney but I'll (totally legally, prommies) rewatch all of these movies to better understand Yana's vision lol
>>558857519I signed up for disney+ to rip the twst anime and canceled after the final episode with "will register again for season 2." Which at this rate will be in 2029 I suppose.
>>558860112There's no way the second season is gonna have anything near the hype of season one. I wonder how they intend to handle it. Gonna have a real-size cardboard cutout of Yuuka with Leona, Jack and Ruggie in Ikebukuro station? Doubt.
>>558854737There is something uniquely depressing about seeing the characters of a cancelled project, like abandoned kittens or something. Even if they're just the product of a cash grab, they're still someone's babies.
On twst radio they were talking about the Anime Japan stage appearance and the anni ABEMA at the same time. And Ichikawa said, specifically, that it was the Anime Japan stage that is going to have some unbelievably big news. Wtf could it be.He also said he's seen the groovy for Sebek's birthday card. It's kind of hilarious that the seiyuu are seeing those in advance.
>>558868267Most likely a new trailer and release date for the second season, right? Or do you think that wouldn't be considered unbelievably big news? And if it's at the Anime Japan stage and not ABEMA, it probably isn't about the game, right? Do you think there's a chance the rumors about the Glorimas movie are true?
>>558868510>the Glorimas movieI found ground zero for this rumor and it's just someone talking about the costumes. The other tweets are just people talking about if it were possible, based on that original tweet, what they would like in such a case. Probably another example of AI translation sucking and/or someone who fancies themselves a JP->EN translator actually understanding nothing at all and making stuff up as a result.
>>558868267Ichikawa is such a cute patootie. And he is an excellent MC, poor Ban gets nervous and only ever repeats "that's true" over and over again but you can tell Ichikawa actually plays the game, knows the story and has opinions on the characters. He and Midorikawa are a gift.
>>558869382I know a lot of things is en fault but I saw jp tweets only, search up グロマス and you'll see a bunch of confused jp tweets too unless maybe en misinformation somehow spread to jp? Which is a possibility too. I even saw that one kh and twst youtuber talk about it.
>>558855831do it anyways!
>>558874349Samefag digging deeper. Noticed some of the tweets are talking about playful too. I wonder if the theory came from Azul and Kalim's va going to animejapan, along with twst radio saying it's gonna be something big. Azul for glorimas and Kalim for playful. 6th anni image on the banner looks like a movie watching sleepover party (projection on the wall, popcorn and pizza on the table). So, a movie. If I remember correctly last year the ob cards were revealed at animejapan and people on JP guessed right about it because Leona, Riddle and Azul's vas were there, the order was just wrong as it started with Malleus instead kek 3dlive was announced there too wasn't it?
>>558795937Cute.
>>558876559I thought the 6th anni looked like a pillow cause we’re gonna get sleepwear Grim
>>558915380So next year will be host club Grim? Kind of genius to use the birthday series as the base for his cards.
>>558876559Playfulland sucked as an event but I bet it would rock as a movie.
>>558870282Of the first-year seiyuu Kobayashi and Aoi might be the best emcees/hosts/talents/whatever.Ishiya might be pretty good too but he got railroaded in that radio episode with diasomnia, having to act like a host to the amazing combo of Shimazaki, Midorikawa and Kato. Two legendary senpai and an ikemen haiyuu, he stood no chance.Also haven't really seen enough of Tsuchiya to judge. His tour with Aiba for the exhibition promotion was cute, so he might be pretty good. Loves talking about his damn dog.But Ban and Yamashita are so awkward on camera. They try and you want to root for them but oof.
17 day countdown to anni, I bet cozy wear Grim is gonna be super cute. Also I saw people complaining that Blazing Jewel hasn't arrived on EN yet? I guess some people never realized it was an anniversary thing.
>>558951757He'd be cute in the anime style. I wish we could get four-legged Grim in the game somehow, he is stupidly cute in kitty mode.
>>558951757Imagine the groovy if it is a sleepover party theme. Grim with all the boys in their sleepwear.
>>558957707Stuffing 22 people and a phantomcat into one frame would be a big ask. Maybe the Ramshackle ghosts only? Or they restart the count and go with just the first years again, this time with Ortho?
>>558936256
>>558960725>>558957707I thought Groovy would be a sleepover, but only with the first-year boys, but this time Ortho was there with them.
If glomas and playland get a movie I wonder if we'll get a two-parter for nbc too or if copyright would be too much of a nightmare. Also the first half of that movie would basically just be preparing for a party.
>>558976702I don't know, but has The Nightmare Before Christmas ever appeared in a Disney television special? Only in games, comics, and books? It never appeared in the House of Mouse, right? But it wasn't 2D.
Do you think this will ever happen to Leona? https://youtu.be/HrMRmEeCfJM?feature=shared
>>558874420Okay! *runs into oncoming traffic*=＼(^_^)/
>>558855831This but for OBs
>>558996263I like this song and this movie, but why would Leona be exiled? Or are you talking about being expelled from college or from his country? He tries to kill his father so he can marry Ruggie?
>>559015459I did once see someone make the leap of "I don't like Leona because he wants to be king but in order to be king his dad and brother and an innocent child have to die which means he WANTS all of them to DIE and that is EVIL and if you like Leona you are probably also evil deep down because how could anyone--" and then I stopped reading and blocked them.
>>559010609Also real. I need OB Jamil like I need water.
Gump
So what do we know for march right now. Sebebe birthday, anniversary, blazing jewel on bluray, Anime Japan, Scarabia in English, is that everything? Feels like October up in here, so much going on.
>>559052117also ABEMA
>>559055869Ichikawa hyping up anime japan over abema is fascinating to me, he was more excited about that than the anniversary.
So if not movies I wonder what else it might be. When Did Glomasu come out, 2022? I guess 4 years isn't an impossible timeline for an animated OVA...it's believable.Might also just be songs or something. Oh my god, Rollo song.
>>559069182RSA characters debut/their VAs surprise guests?
>>559069709>>558177348Are these both you or are there somehow two anons on here who can't get over RSA? Is this an EN thing, because I never see it in JP spaces.
>>559070958>Is this an EN thing, because I never see it in JP spacesYou're talking shit or didn't check out enough places. RSA related information being this unmissable animejapan news has been proposed by the japanese fandom as well (seen it on two different discussion boards as well as being speculated by a couple of twst info-related twitter accounts). I prefer a Lost in the Book event announcement but I think that's slightly less likely to happen than the RSA thing.
hooooly shit, a new school page with new characters was just opened on the official page
>>559070958>>559072265And kek, lo and behold, the official twitter page just posted this https://x.com/twst_jp/status/2028395275140890636
>>559072301Quick how many sigils were on that ugly-ass cup, were there seven
>>559072301RSA or another school getting a bigger feature was always an obvious and large possibility, the person here who refused to believe it and said so everytime it came up as a topic was just really aggressive about it to compensate for their lack of logic lol.Like, what was realistically going to be the alternative once we got through book 7 and twst needed shiny new moneymakers? New NRC students? It's been talked about at length recently here why that wouldn't be advisable.
>>559072635Yep seven, three of them belonging to Alice, Snow White and Meg.
>>559072685So what are they gonna do, I wonder, then. Restart the school year from RSA's perspective? We get to see Chenya like "think I'm gonna go be a gremlin now cause Riddle's gone bonkers"? Gonna see people watching Malleus kick everyone's ass at spelldrive? Gossip about a new Mostro Lounge location opening up on NRC's campus? For Book 4, uh...no idea how that would relate to RSA, that was all pretty contained. And Book 5 follows Neige of course, Book 6 is people going to their knitting glasses while casually talking about the robots that invaded NRC and took most their housewardens away?
>>559070958So which do you think would be worse, RSA or a girls school kek
>>559072301Please make rsa alice cute and have a complicated relationship with riddlePlease just show us rielle already
>>559073079I am fascinated by how hard EN players latched onto the Rielle spelling when that's not how it's pronounced. They say Rielé, and that was how it was originally written even on En before they went back in and localized it. People love saying Fellow and Kifaji but for some reason they allied with aniplex USA for Rielé. Curious how the fandom does that kind of pick and choose.
>>559073045RSA sounds boring but, yeah, a girls school would be 1,000 times worse. At least that's never going to happen.
>>559072962...now I kind of want this to happen. Mostly because it will send the "book 7 was too long" crowd into a new wave of hissy fits.
>>559073079>Please make rsa alice cute and have a complicated relationship with riddleWouldn't that require some pretty intense retconning? Like I trust in Yana, I'm sure it'll be fine. But for anyone to have any significant relationship with those guys would be something like "Oh right, I didn't mention this once in the past six years but I actually have a complicated relationship with this character that you've never heard of before, as required by the narrative."
>>559072962>Me when I was born yesterday and the only thing I've ever read is twst
>>559072962Why would we have to shift focus completely to RSA like that though when they can just develop NRC dynamics with the RSA students, they're going to be interacting in the competition extensively anyway. Is there a reason why whenever RSA is brought up there's this assumption that they will become the main? Does this happen a lot with other mobages or something, new characters get introduced and the previous ones get sidelined? Genuine question, I don't play much mobages. But I am shounenfag and new characters are introduced every arc and still follow the original main characters
>>559074507I dom't see why it would requirw retconning, people can meet new people and develop new relationships. Same with >>559072962 's odd assumption that RSA characters getting more screentime and likely cards as a result of being in the main story would require rewinding the clock. Time moves forward.It'll probably be the same formula we see constantly in twst's events and main story. Our boys get divided up into certain groups that'll have reason to interact with certain RSA guys. The story moves group by group. We get a card for each one. Money for twst.
>>559075923It literally doesn't happen that way in other mobages, the only reason anons keep thinking it'll happen here is because they paradoxically have peas sized imaginations with self-confidence higher than the moon kek.
>>557777601Wtf is this gay shit on my vg board??
>>559076020Well I mean, just based on >>559073079 asking for an Alice cutie with a complicated relationship with Riddle. There is no foundation for something like that. Not arguing that it shouldn't or can't happen now, going forward, but a pre-existing complicated relationship is impossible, especially for Riddle. Maybe I misunderstood their verb tenses and they mean "will form a complicated relationship with Riddle moving forward after meeting for the first time"?I want to see man-Meg, personally. She is the only one of the ladies who was allowed to be overtly sexual. The guy had better be on par with Leona Kingscholar himself.
>>559074507>>559076171I don't mind if it happened in the past, if Alice is the child of Riddle's mom rival mom or if they met for the first time in the tournament but I want them to interact
>>559076171NTA but the tense is ambiguous and context would imply a future relationship.>>559075923It happens in Love Live, where they've fully shifted the main cast a couple times now, but I can't think of any other story mobage that does this. It's not the norm and I don't know why it's being assumed here when the main story has already blatantly set up for RSA screentime.
>>559072301>mfw validated that the "rsa will never happen" schizo is a schizo
>>559076651My favorite reaction thus far has been "wait they're replacing the main cast with new characters?"Yes. They are throwing out 6 years of lore, character development and gameplay to replace everything as we know it.It takes all kinds.
>>559070958I'm never going to get over this being posted just moments before the new school page drop kek wtf. Life is comedy.
>>559076834Both schizo and bummed. Kinda sucks they decided to go that route. But it's yana I'm sure it will be fine or whatever.
>>559077257Reminds me of that time anon posted "We are never getting overblot cards, you need to just give up" right before the OB Malleus reveal. That was like a day or so apart though, so the timing wasn't as perfect.
>>559077313It'll be fine. We've hardly seen the RSA boys and can't really know what it'll be like, most of the pushback against the idea here seems to be based on anons' imaginations. Yana and co. usually write a wild ride. Even if it ends up being mid, we know from Books 5-6 that they have the ability to bounce back and make the best of it.Let this be a lesson learned to anons not to go around aggroing people over the writing on the wall, though.
>>559077536If we aren't allowed to complain about stuff that hasn't happened yet this thread is gonna be even harder to bump, that's basically our national past time.
>>559077640I actually think this thread would be more active if some of you weren't going around being massive douches over people being excited at the likely probability of things like RSA screentime. It's one thing to disagree and another to constantly try to drown out whatever facts you don't like to hear with emotional whining.Being such a stick in the mud while covering your ears to the obvious is what we all constantly complain about ENers doing, and yet...
>>559076171If they pair up the princess guys with the housewardens 1:1 for interaction I actually do need to see Idia trapped in close proximity with a bitter manwhore.
>>559078115>bitter manwhoreBring me the bitter manwhoreYanaYanapls
>>559078115>1:1That's going to be difficult to do with characters like Leona and Malleus we already have a Simba and Aurora/Prince Philip figures. Don't know what they can do with Leona but I guess the 3 fairies might be possible? Any dorm wishes for you anons here?
>>559078517Not going to happen but I want to see a Tweedle Dee and Dum to foil Jade and Floyd lol.
>>559078517>Jasmine = another sexy (long-haired!?!?) brown boyPlease please please
>>559078517Wouldn't Leona just be Nala, just like Meg is on there instead of Hercules?
>>559078517I also assumed Nala for Leona since it's the princess cup. No idea what they'll do for Mal, though. I feel like we would have heard about it if there were other fae from Briar Valley attending human schools, especially on the same island.I do want to learn more about fae from other regions, though. Baur not being from Briar Valley has me intrigued. Maybe they can do something with Mulan and bring in Red Dragon lore.
Leechsisters...
Introducing new RSA boys for main story banners is fine but if they start giving them event cards later and reduce the chances of me getting new event cards of my oshi I'll riot.I'll pull for Neige to make Rook happy but I draw the line there.
>>559079186Azul is gonna have as many boyfriends as Trey at this rate>>559079095>No idea what they'll do for MalEnter: Swing. Hello my fellow kids etc.
>>559079295Kek can you imagine Swing squeezed into that preppy uniform.
>>559072301>RSAI want canon confirmation that Chenya and Neige are fucking.
>>559078517Mulan for Savanaclaw and Frozen for Diasomnia maybe?
>>559079186RSA's debut will surely damage the popularity of some fan-favorite pairings lol
If we spend more time with RSA they have to show us Mrs. T. For me. All of Yana's older female designs for twst so far have been so peak.Still praying daily that we see Riddle's mom eventually so that I can psychosexually project my mommy issues on her.
>>5590791864P. Azul has up to 10 arms so this is really nothing to him.
Alicebros... we're back.
>>559080097Tentacling three guys simultaneously while reading an economics magazine, that's my tako
He's gonna ruin so many Azul pairings...
>>559080441He should get weirdly obsessed with Jamil and cuck both Kalim and Azul.
>>559079295>SwingThe multiple fanart of him being scared shitless of Malleus made me want to see them interact so bad
>>559078517I would love to see Rielle and a character based on Alice, but I would also love to see characters based on the three good fairies (even more so if they had a relationship with Silver and his parents), a young boy based on Flounder, the Kalim's cousin, a Himbo based on Hercules, another based on Megara, and a third based on Pegasus (a boy horse with wings?).And of course a teacher based on the Fairy Godmother. And also a teacher based on the Beast and another teacher/librarians based on Belle
Silver is never getting a SSR again...
>>559082132Trade- off for main story screentime I suppose. Kinda curious just how much focus Silver will get in this arc. He's on the team but he already got so much content in book 7.
>>559082729If I have to guess who's going to get the most screentime, I'd say Malleus (his turn to shine plus he's been the poster child/hyped since the very beginning) > Grim and Crowley > 1st years > OBs > Diasomnia, Rook and Kalim > others
>>559082132Why do you think that?
Naughty boys
>>559091276NTA but I've seen a handful of people already worrying about the imbalance of character content from now on because they believe RSA are gonna be part of the main cast now. I'm sure each one of them will get book 8 exclusive cards but I don't think they will be relevant outside of that? At most they will have some small cameos here and there like Chenya/Neige did in Glomas and the Seven Dwarves in Epel's Hometown event.
>>559092464Yes, sometimes people worry as if they were going to become the main characters, which I don't understand. I think they'll be the rivals in the inter-school competition, or do people really think all the boys would just face off against and lose to faceless Mobs characters?
>>559072301>RSA soon >finally get Kalim's cousin Jasmine (male) for more incest shipbait Kino incoming
>>559105090>Jamil hitting on twst Jasmine
>>559105979>Jamil thinks twst Jasmine is sexo but Jasmine fucking hates him and thinks he's creepy Yana better make this their dynamic or else she's a hack
>>559107571Imagine an incestuous love triangle between Kalim > Jamil > twst Jasmine > Kalim
>>559105090>>559105979>>559113678Am I the only one hoping that Jamil’s childhood friend shows up? Twink Iago finally real? He’s one of the few characters that have actually been confirmed to actually exist pre-this announcement, and Iago technically turned into a good guy in a later movie
>best design in the game>wastedmfw
Do you have any voice actors you'd like to see as one of the RSA students? I wonder what the chances are of Futaba's twin brother voicing one of the RSA boys, maybe a character from Jasmine's dorm?
>>559122920They've worked together before so you absolutely know that he tried out for Twst too and just didn't make the cut. Is my theory anyway.He can voice twink Iago.
>>559124391>He can voice twink Iago.But anon, Furuta already voices twink Iago!
>>559129340If we get a legit twink Iago I bet that tumblr poster is going to be just inundated with comments of "LOOK. THEY MADE IAGO INTO A TWINK. JUST LIKE YOU SAID. LOOOOOK"
Rereading Azul's pajama card he is such a goddamn nerd I love him
I love this artist's Jade so much... such a brat...
>>559072301So ya'll remember that yana-interview where she said there were originally 15 dorms? I wonder if RSA and NRC were originally one school divided by villains and heroes and they ended up breaking them up
Wouldn’t be more interesting if the new RSA boys interact with other characters that are not their counterparts, like if we have twst!Alice interact with Leona or twst!Meg interact with Vil and so on.
>>559149550I want Twst-meg to hang out with Ruggie. Bitter manwhore meets happy manwhore.
>>559145502Source? That's insane, can you imagine. 15. LOL
>>559159641It's in the magical archives book so I can't link a tweet or anything. This translation isn't mine but I've read the original interview and this is fine: “We originally planned to create between ten and fifteen different dormitories. We also had a rough design for the motif of another, separate work, but it was put in storage when we decided on the current seven dormitories. It was originally not going to be a school for mages, but an academy that teaches villains how to do evil things. That idea was rejected because it got very problematic."
>>559162625>another, separate work>that announcement a few months ago of a new game by an otome companyNo way
>>559162625>It was originally not going to be a school for mages, but an academy that teaches villains how to do evil things. That idea was rejected because it got very problematic.This is cracking me uppp oh shit, I'm running late for Crewel's 3rd period puppy skinning class.
>>559169203Full honesty, when I first heard that this game was a school for disney villains, that is exactly what I thought it was. I didn't know magic was involved, I thought the Heartslabyul guys were being trained to become card soldiers, that kind of thing.
Twst got three different spots on a "who's your favorite inhuman character" ranking.#3 Malleus#5 Floyd#7 Lilia
>>559178056Based JP
>>559178056Seems like Tsunotarou (and Diasomnia in general) is finally popular in Japan too, nice.
>>559167684If prince erick exists in RSA as a male student and we have twst Ariel…how their relationship is gonna be
>>559183893they be fuckin
>>559159552Choices for dia feels kinda anticlimactic. Really hoping it's Frozen and Elsa for them
>>559184463JPsisters in hyperdrive trying to get their predictions out before this weekend.

>>559185958Has it? Che'nya has been confirmed, but not neccesarily an Alice dorm.It'd probsbly be pretty awkward considering that apart from riddle the other 4 have traits of the "heroes".
>>559185958I think the anon meant that they believe the symbols on The Princess Glow cup represent the dorm of the RSA. Which I think makes sense, since the cup is an important trophy of the RSA! And it has jewels and symbols that represent Alice, Snow White, and Megara.
>>559192651>It'd probsbly be pretty awkward considering that apart from riddle the other 4 have traits of the "heroes".Yeah but these traits are kind of vague and easy to miss aside from Ace's I guess. Now I'm curious whether he'll get along with twst Alice, imagine if they bond by making fun of Riddle.

>book 7 took as long as books 1-6 combined see you in 2030 after we've explored all 7 of the new RSA guys
>>559208549>all 7>implying they won't be more than that
>>559235417Bump-anon ran out of fanart and is just posting in-game screenshots now apparently.
If you think they're going to reveal new characters, the new RSA boys, will there be more or less 20 characters? Especially if there are seven dormitories.
>>559244881Doubling the cast seems like it would be a huge undertaking. They'd basically be launching a new game: Twst Part II, Hero's Journey.Not impossible, but awful heavy. I wonder if we'll be getting just one character for each dorm instead to not drown us in new characters. Or maybe they'll be trickled in over time or something.
>>559235417DAAAAMN look at those sexy collarbones!! Even the forest creatures are checking out this super hottie!
It's not going to be 7 new characters it's just going to be the 7 dwarves (all will get their own banners). You heard it here first, trust me.
>>559246046I wonder if they hired a new voice actor to replace the lady who voiced Snick, since she died in 2022. That is two dead seiyuu and one retired for twst's cast, a dwarf and kifaji dead, cheka retired.
>>559246538Is that normal for a gacha game cast? I guess six years is a while.
>>559235417I wouldn't mind bumping with him all night long, if you know what I mean
>>559254773I'm not sure. Aren't seiyuu retiring/dying kind of big news? And Twst doesn't even have that large of a cast compared to things like Ensemble Stars.Actually, will Twst and EnStars have a similarly sized cast if RSA does end up doubling the main character list?
>>559260605I don't have exact numbers but I want to say no? Enstars has so many boys that back when I played there was a character birthday basically every week or more.
>>559261993That sounds exhausting. I’ve heard that other gacha have basically constantly running events with overlapping banners from people who say that Twst’s system is a breath of fresh air and a lot less pressure. Twst is all I know but the more I hear about other gacha the more I’m glad I’m with Twst. If every week is treated as important, then no week is. Is Twst unique in that almost all the guys are likable, or are people on ENstars oshi-ing 60-something characters?
>>559264052Twst is a breath of fresh air, but unfortunately players like us are actually in the minority. I've seen a lot of good games get dropped because players are dissatisfied with what they perceive as a lack of content despite constantly running events. Twst in particular has an unusually slow content pace, which works for me and I think many other busy adults, but isn't going to cut it for a lot of mobage players.I would say twst is able to be described the way you've described it because it maintains a tighter cast and has decent writing. I wouldn't say it's unique for these elements, it's just the style of mobage it is.Enstars is honestly middle of the ground– it again has decent writing while juggling a slightly larger core cast of characters. Most people have their singular oshi or the unit that they oshi and enjoy reading the story, the same way we do for twst's characters and their dorms. It's good for people who like reading, you don't actually have to play much unless you're fanatical about your oshi and want to go all out grinding his events to show your support. It's honestly kind of cute, I've seen hardcore unit fans who coordinate ranking in scored events to put up a heartfelt combined message through their player handles in the top scorer lists.The size of enstars's cast is actually not that large compared to the more mainstream variety of mobage in which every new banner is a new character. I honestly don't know why people allow this to be the norm as it results in most characters being narratively relevant for a few weeks maximum before shuffling off into oblivion. But again, the vast majority of mobage players are more interested in a constant stream of stimulation and novelty, so it is what it is.
>>559265743>every new banner is a new character.Woah, I had no idea. Definitely don't want anything to do with that. How much depth can a character possibly have when new ones are being cranked out with every new banner? >a constant stream of stimulation and noveltyI saw someone complaining the other day about Twst not being dubbed into their language because they don't want to have to read and will lose focus. The amazingly gentle and polite people who responded pointed out that Twst is broken up into sections that last an average of 2 to 3 minutes, maybe 5 minutes for the longer ones. The OP responded that they didn't want to do all that reading so, without a localized dub, they're not interested.I think you're right, and that's the kind of person that latches onto the generic mobage system: constant stimulation, the smallest possible bites of information, no depth, just constant flashing lights and squeaky voices. No thoughts, tapping through dialogue at lightning speed to get the next happy-chemical rush of a new shade of flashing light.And that is not what Twst is. Thank god.
>>559267265>How much depth can a character possibly haveNot much, but I do think those are gameplay focused though. The point of those are less story and more building team comps to get high numbers, clear missions and get rewards. The depth is in the gameplay, while twst's is in story. I heard that it can be fun, like how there are groups on twst too that love to get really high scores on the tests or fuck around with funny teams in the map battles. But ya I'm the same and think that's exhausting, having to pull to keep up with meta all the time, in my personal experience there's often a really sharp difficulty spike in those games eventually that just kills my motivation to continue as well, but I can keep up with twst just fine and love that it doesn't take up much of my time with a guarantee of something to read every month.
>>559264052>>559265743I have a couple irls who play the big gachas who are more patient, story types. I can't imagine being someone genuinely trying to follow the lore when the genre demands huge updates every quarter or less.Twst is just a vn with some gameplay segments, so understandably its a completely different approach, but man, I'll be so mad to get attached to a setting and then everything is mostly forgotten to make way for the next big thing. >>559182985I miss rollo so bad...Ill give up all of RSA just to see him one more time
>>559268296Not necessarily. FGO and Arknights are both big name mobage that have at varying points been considered some of the best that story-driven mobage has to offer, and they're both games that follow the "every new banner is a new character" model. The story is as big a pull as the gameplay.They do a pretty good job with their systems, but for somebody like me who likes to commit fully to a singular oshi, it doesn't work. I'd rather collect every Rook card than fall in love with somebody new every few months and then pray they're popular enough to get a summer skin.Different strokes for different folks, but it really is tragic when a game under that model has genuinely good writing and you fall in love with an unpopular character who never sees the light of day again. Arknights at least compensates to a degree by being a very well designed game in which your favorites stay relevant to the gameplay as long as you have the brains for it, which is rewarding in its own way.
>>559269942>fall in love with an unpopular character who never sees the light of day againI've been the victim of this multiple times not limited to mobage, the story could be good in general but my oshi is stuck in the content void it hurts so bad. I'm happy that I haven't felt that here in twst yet, and hopefully these new RSA characters will be good complements to NRC instead of overshadowing them. It's funny to think there will be a new wave of players who started for the RSA boys but they have to go through 6 years of story to see them besides Chenya, Neige and the dwarves of course
>>559271392>started for the RSA boysOh god. I get the feeling that there are a few of those types lurking. I saw someone the other day who said they don't like Azul because he is greedy. Someone else saying that none of the overblotters were justified. The usual bitching of "Wait, you guys actually like these characters? But how can anyone like them they're not lawful good I don't understand??" and I have a feeling a focus on the Good Boys of RSA are going to embolden the ones like that (looking at you, kalimsisters and jacksisters).Or not, maybe this is bitchy doomsaying. Either way will continue to block on sight but I do hope the game keeps its focus on the assholes we know and love.
>>559269065>Ill give up all of RSA just to see him one more timeSameAlso, you guys know how we've had two fake-out title cards now? Once when Malleus KOed us all and again when Idia broke the 4th wall? Twst could do the funniest thing by pulling that trick a third time and faking us out with a reset of the school year from RSA's perspective. While NRC's assembly is burning down from a demon cat they are all holding hands and singing songs or whatever, exploding blue flames in the distance.
Looking at last year's Anime Japan they had TWO stages for Twst, one about the game with Hanae, fucken Umehara, Tamaru, Kato and Ito of all people, then for the anime they had Hanae again, Yamashita, Kobayashi (chiaki), Sugiyama and Miyamoto for the anime. I can't believe they dragged Umehara up there but anyway.Compare that to this year, one stage, just for the game, just Tamaru and Furuta. And it's being hyped as a huge thing? Huh.
>>559272414Jack is one of the least popular twsts... Also I doubt anyone would play a game about villains if they only cared about heroes. There's probably also some villains categorised into RSA, anyway.
>>559280584Yeah going back to that one disney exec interview the whole deal with Twst launching was to take money from fujos who love the disney villains. Switching gears would mean changing their own target market. It's not gonna happen, we'll be fine.
>>559280286Samefag, double-checked and last year's stage was the announcement of Malleus' OB card and the dorm songs re: Blazing Jewel.
>>559283807We got the new characters/dorms teaser this early in the week, I'm thinking it's likely going to be the big topic for the coming abema besides anni? Or are they nuts enough to keep us in suspense until anijapan
>>559284460I wonder if they're gonna do both. You know how anijapan dropped the dorm songs but not the character songs or blazing jewel, just suddenly "hey dorm songs now they are on youtube that is all we have to say"? Maybe this will be something like that. We'll get RSA dorm announcements for abema and then character reveals for anijapan or something like that.
>>559277037I thought they could make an alternate opening video! The game's opening, but this time showing the RSA and changing the song lyrics.
>>559288080Nah, no need to take it that far.
Man the glomas movie rumors sure dropped dead didn't they
>>559284460I even thought they might just announce the dorms, names, symbols, and meanings, and a teaser of the new characters, showing only their silhouettes, and only at the end of the month would they show the characters, their appearances, and everything else.
>>559235417>So hot that Idia was openly lusting for him
>>559297867Beautiful, wonderful, precious, treasured
>>559307586>>559310893Is Lilia aware of how lewd his son can be?
>>559313549Lilia knows he's pretty, but probably not
>>558177623>Please tell me why you are interested in rsa characters I would like to learn
>>559290223That's a shame. A Glorious Masquerade movie would have been amazing.
>>559352594Dare to dream. Novel 3. Anthology 3. Pom manga. Glomas OVA. What am I forgetting I thought there was one more.
>>559365148Port Fest: What If. Put Jamil in a crop top you cowards. I will also accept Cater.
>>559372565I was gonna say Princess of the Tower Leona, but that would be really similar to his Fairy Gala outfit...I wonder if everyone is going to get fairy/princess adjacent outfits sooner or later. It is a need.
>>559372565Could that kinda technically count as a hometown event if you squint a little so we can somehow justify a bonus character like Yasamina Silk Vil? I don't even care what the in-game reasoning is. "Crewel tried making this for Jack and fucked up the sizing so now it fits somebody else."I just really liked Port Fest.
I need anni... I want to pull... I want to pull...............>>559372565I saw great fanart on Pixiv a while back of Jamil wearing Najima's cropped sweatshirt for wearing around the house but I can't find it. I really need to bookmark more consistently.
This game used to be so kind to me and now every time I want a new card I have to fucking go until I hit pity for it
>>559384652Legit curious: what keeps gacha games from figuring out who our oshi are through rolling patterns and rigging the system to push us to pity for the guys we want most?
>>559389891>Legit curious: what keeps gacha games from figuring out who our oshi are through rolling patterns and rigging the system to push us to pity for the guys we want most?The Law
>>559393951Good art
>>559432501Saw this one in the wild. It's funny cause if you don't know twist you'll probably think they're making fun of old BL art styles or something but it's like no, the ridiculousness is the point
>>559409190I cannot wait for new brown boy. Yana's brown boy designs are always too peak.Unrelated but when Agni died in Kuroshitsuji I was so bummed about it that I dropped the series out of grief for like 2 years kek
>>559439813That's nuts, I always saw that character as annoyingly 2 dimensional, both him and Sohma. They're gorgeous but maybe underutilized? So little depth and relevance when compared to the rest of the cast.Pretty sure I read in an artbook or tweet or something that it was actually Sohma who was supposed to die and she changed her mind. I wonder if that would've been better.
I think I'm going crazy. For union battles or whatever they're called. Didn't it used to be that whatever you set your spells to once would remain set the same for that round? I don't even know how to explain it.Okay like this:Leaf Battle: Set Fairy Gala Leona to leaf/flameWater Battle: Set him to leaf/waterFire Battle: Set him to water/flameThen tomorrow I come back and I have to reset before every battle again. Water Battle Leona needs to be set back to leaf/water, even though I set him to leaf/water the day before.In my memory that is how it was originally but then it was fixed in an update so it remembered spell settings per battle from one day to the next. I remember being really grateful that I could just go through all of them on auto instead of having to reset everybody's spells from one round to the next. But now I have to reset from one round to the next again and I'm wondering if that brief period of "game system remembering the settings" was something I imagined and it never actually happened.
>>559079186>>559080441>>559080690>>558662731>>559073079>>559073251>>559183893Do you think there's a chance Rielle could be black? I've seen some people who want him to be black because of the live-action Little Mermaid movie, and they'd be upset if Rielle were white. Even Yana based some things on the live-action movies, right? For example, Diasomnia.
>>559440218I was a teenager when this happened so I can't really recall if they were as you say. I just know I liked Agni but didn't have much interest in Sohma so it was sad for me that Agni was the one that died.Speaking off of vague recollections again, but when I picked up twst, I did feel that Kalim and Jamil were something of a more nuanced take on Sohma and Agni? Except Kalim suffers from the same elements that left me uninterested in Sohma while Jamil got more interesting (I mean, he's a different character altogether who simply shares the same role, but you get my gist).>>559440960Not sure, because I get my best score in each exam one at a time before moving on to trying for the next, and then after that just do the easiest battle on auto on repeat every day. Is there a reason you're cycling through different battles every day still this far in?
>>559440218>That's nuts, I always saw that character as annoyingly 2 dimensional, both him and Sohma. They're gorgeous but maybe underutilized? So little depth and relevance when compared to the rest of the cast.Tbh you could say this about any Kuro character that isn't Ciel, Sebastian and MAYBE Undertaker and I say this as someone who loves this series and is been into it for 16 years.
>>559446478>Do you think there's a chance Rielle could be black?Ew, no, I know Yana is able to create atttractive black boys but still hard pass.>I've seen some people who want him to be black because of the live-action Little Mermaid movie, and they'd be upset if Rielle were white.Who cares about retarded EN foids >Even Yana based some things on the live-action movies, right? For example, Diasomnia.The difference is that Maleficent was better received by both the general public and fans of the original animated movie while the Live Action Little Mermaid movie was a flop and no one ever asked for or wanted a blackwashed Ariel aside from a tiny irrelevant vocal minority (tumblrtards). The point is, I don't think the audience that actually matters aka the jpn fandom would be happy with a black Rielle.
>>559446959>Is there a reason you're cycling through different battles every day still this far in?Oh god am I playing wrong? Since there are 10 turns and 5 rounds, every day I play two turns per round. I thought that was normal.
>>559448434I dunno, I really enjoyed the stories of the servants, learning why they're there and how they came to be there. Amazing amount of backstory individualized for each of them, compared to Sohma who was like "I wanted this lady back and she told me to fuck off so now I'm here" and Agni who was like "I am a reformed yankee."In an annoying hypocritical gesture from myself I love Lau and Ranmao, whom we know maybe the least about, now, after the servants' stories. Maybe I just don't like the "sunshine" characters. I'd take the unknown chinese opium traders over Sohma and Agni fluff any day.
>>559454721I think I'm very confused as to what you're doing.>>559450164They won't care as long as he's well designed. They generally care less about this stuff unless Japanese culture is being misrepresented, and even then it needs to be outright offensive.>>559446478Personally, I hope not as I don't like red hair with dark skin.
>>559456429>I think I'm very confused as to what you're doing.I'm playing each round twice every day.
>>559446478I trust Yana, if she can make a black guy with red hair hot then more power to her. It would be cool to get a black guy who doesn't get his objectively perfect character design nerfed by the americans.The absolute shit that was the Maleficent movie came out before Twst did, so it was there to use as a basis, while real-people mermaid movie was not. But maybe it's been long enough for Yana to decide to use it in Twst, who knows. Or maybe Disney wants to pretend it didn't happen. They do that.
>>559457673>nerfed by the americans.My favorite response from a JPsis on that was "I'm glad Japan has freedom of expression"
What the cute
>>559456615Is there any particular reason for that? Don't you get the same rewards just running through the easiest one for you to clear 10 times?
>>559466706I just thought that that’s what you’re supposed to do, so that’s what I do. Sometimes the score goes up and I have no idea why. I am not a meta player I am just pushing buttons and going yay. I got S3 that way somehow. Thank Crowley for dorm Leona.
>>559464532Very cute. I hope the corks are removable.
Exhibition photos are coming out and there’s one of the Halloween section that looks like it has early concept art on a table like last time
>>559466921If you're having frustration with the spells changing, it might suit you better to just do a bunch of runs of a single test until you hit ~22k (give or take, you yourself would know best which tests you can expect better scores in to compensate for your weak tests), and then move on to the next one. That way you'll still be cumulatively meeting your potential (SSS) without having to juggle spells.Sorry that I'm not able to confirm whether spells have always shifted around like this or not. I'm curious now, too.
>>559464532Shaking the bottle hard and long to tumble finish Riddle into a smooth river stone.
>>559476074Early Halloween costumes, maybe. I think I see dilapidated robes of some kind.
Very important:Massive bitch full of naked contempt Jamil VS smiling from the heart with undisguised joy of the moment Jamil, who do you guys love more!?
>>559484602Bitch Jamil
>>559484649On a board where getting an answer to a question can take hours when you're not ignored completely I enjoy that "bitch Jamil" took 30 seconds
>>559484649The people have spoken! Bitch Jamil it is!! *Jamil of pure and true levity disintegrates into a fine mist*>>559486226I said it was important!Unrelated but I would like if RSA Jasmine was kind of aggressively with Jamil and wanted to take him from Kalim for himself. And Jamil doesn't want either of their asses Let's fight over Jamil while he silently (because RSA Jasmine also comes from a family of prestige far above Jamil's own) kills us with his mind
>>559487671Kalim has that cousin who has a thing for tigers, and he is related to royalty without actually being a royal himself.If that "royal family" connection and that "tiger cousin" connection are the same person, we could ball them up with your "possessive twink jasmine" connection and give Jamil a literal prince trying to seduce him away from Kalim.But no one can have his heart, which belongs to twink Iago. I think I accidentally just wrote an outline to a BL.
This is the first time I ever saw a Grim outside of the 100th pity roll.
Bump
I've been thinking about what an Amnesia AU would be like and I'm curious, which guy do you think is most likely to lock up and imprison the person he loves in a cage? Rook? Jade? Or someone else?
>>559512463Rook prefers observing the targets of his affection in their natural and unrestrained state so I don't think he'd actually lock them up. Stalk and occassionally terrorize if we lean into yan traits? Yes, but not lock up. Jade more likely, but I think he'd get bored with the limited range of reactions that could be had in imprisonment as well.I could see yan Azul locking up the target of his affections in a fit of possessiveness, a la his contracts as a manifestation of control and insecurity. Yan Mal is another option for this, given that he literally imprisoned everybody in dream dimensions in book 7– he'd do it out of a misguided desire to protect, regardless of how you feel on the matter.
Sometimes I wonder if the people who make fan art of the RSA boys exaggerate the similarities to Disney characters? Some of the boys in the game don't look that much like Disney characters, for example Riddle, Vil, Rook, and others.
>>559525434I think it’s gonna be hilarious if they end up mirrored versions of their 元ネタ so the Ariel guy actually has black hair like Vanessa or something
>>559548683Hello??? In MY home??? I'm not running a love hotel, these hussies need to find an abandoned shed somewhere.
Who here is excited for the 6th anniversary?
8 hours to abema
5 hours to abema
>>559570053>>559582114I can't believe we didn't fall off the board after 3 hours of no activity, must be a slow day.4 hours remain.
>>5595856624 hours left for everyone to do their prayer circles, manifesting or whatever for anni, RSA andbtheir vas if they are being shown today, which there is not much talk about even though it feels like there are a couple of anons here who follow seiyuu and stage actors
>>559586225Kobayashi Chiaki got so close to being voted seiyuu of the year on that anime corner website. The guy went from being a newbie starting out with Twst to being famous with the overseas weeb crowd. And he's still with Twst. I hope he gets something at the Seiyuu Awards, someone give that man a cookie he works so damn hard, he was tied for first place in a "seiyuu who appeared in the most BL CDs" ranking in 2025, too.I hope Disney is paying him properly for these promotions, none of this "we contracted with you as an amateur at amateur rates and that is what you're locked into no matter how famous you get" shit that they pull with their live-action movie actors.
>>559586225JPsisters have been posting fan castings of the RSA guys all week. If they do not finally hire Eguchi Takuya for something I swear to god.
I wonder how much info about RSA are we getting today. I don't think they will reveal that much considering this stream is mainly about the anniv event and there's also the other one that's been hyped a lot and it will take place at the end of this month. At most, I think they will reveal just the dormitories names today.
Autistic nitpick but while I don't want a girls school to actually appear in twst (I think that would be a poor decision by most metrics), I do want them to at least allude to the existence of one. It feels incongruous to how much the worldbuilding caters towards gender egalitarianism for the sake of fanservice to a female audience that all of the leading schools seem to be all-boys schools.
>>559591909>It feels incongruous to how much the worldbuilding caters towards gender egalitarianism for the sake of fanservice to a female audience that all of the leading schools seem to be all-boys schools.It's not that fucking deep, oh my god. It’s a game for women about a boys’ academy so the cast is all boys. That’s the entire explanation. Two schools being single-sex doesn’t magically contradict “gender egalitarian worldbuilding,” you’re just projecting an argument onto a premise that was never meant to carry it.
>>559592215Give it up. It's a "but what about me"-er. They can't enjoy anything as simple as a gambling simulator without making everything about themselves and get tushy troubled when the narrative doesn't allow for it.
Five minutes lets goooheading into this like "lives are gonna change" it'd be really funny if it was all a nothingburger build up to anijapan
>>559596971>it'd be really funny if it was all a nothingburger build up to anijapanI'm 80% sure that's going to happen lol
Anything relevant yet?

RSA boys
>>559600569So will the pom prince be Neige or someone else entirely?
Damn what awful timing for 4chan to go down kekThe new dorm names are retarded which is exactly what I love to see. And I'm very excited for shota Alice.
>>559601696That must be Neige judging from those spikes in his hair
>>559604123The hair looks similar, but I thought they said there were seven new characters? Or did they not mention that?
Give me the shota alice N-O-W. He better be as dumb as rocks too. Tan lines? Even better, he's british so 2 seconds in the sun he's dark as coal.
>>559600569Cast them
>>559612221They are seven new characters. ENers claiming neige are a fascinating example of how they can misunderstand the simplest information.
>>559614183I would love for Alice Boy to be voiced by Ayumu Murase.
>>559617765That seems Neige to me, regardless of “new” characters being introduced.
>>559619346It's this fandom's national pastime to enjoy being wrong, so you're right at home.
>>559604123>>559612221>>559617765>>559619346>>559620357I'm seeing alot of jpsisters agreeing it's neige, which is unfortunate. A new guy would've been more interesting.
>>559620357EN can go fuck themselves, but I have seen nips agreeing this is Neige wearing Prince Charming stuff. So there’s no need to bring Enners here since they are busy expecting the new boys are actually girls and already complaining about Rielle’s skin color.
>>559620956>Rielle’s skin color.I've seen the worlds most obnoxious people writing essays exposing how they don't understand the target market for a joseimuke and have apparently never seen yana drawing men before, leading to self-indulgent "but wimmin" bullshit, but I haven't seen people bitching about race yet. I don't actually care either way but I am in favor of whatever pisses off people like that, so yay white twink riel.
>>559621490It’s because that’s the darkest skin tone they can go (Rielles) and now they have targeted Diasonmia’s counterparts and believe he has locks and borderline coal tier skin tone. I don’t even know why they keep playing this. They are cancer.
>>559621886"Why do you keep playing this" is my reaction to most stuff I see from that end but they get really mad when you say it out loud for some reason. "Oh so I'm not allowed to complain about anything ever??" nah man no one said that, it's just the fact that the very basis of this game seems to piss you off and there is a 100% effective solution to improving your every day of deleting the app.Oh who are we kidding, the loudest people aren't the ones actually playing it, they are taking all their info from twitter headcanons.Anyway, I am super stoked about manwhore Meg, that is exactly what I'd been hoping for. I want to say "I hope he's hot" but it's Yana, there is no alternative.
>>559622282I hope he interacts with Idia as soon he shows up.
>>559623003If he's got a "I am so fed up with this bullshit" vibe he would be very similar to Leona. I wonder if he and Leona would get along in contrast to how Leona and Idia absolutely do not.
>>559600569>Savanaclaw counterpart has heelsHe will have a catfight with Vil over Leona
Who the fuck is he based off? Can’t be Nala since she should be around Chekas age (or since this is Yanas lane, it’s male Nala and let’s pair him with Cheka), but this is driving me crazy.
>>559624843Love the concept of RSA guys being just as obsessed with Leona as Pomefiore. There was a birthday present chart thing going around last month and apparently each member of Pom has given Leona two birthday presents. Only seven of twenty people have given him anything at all, but somehow that includes the entirety of Pomefiore. Twice. I love Pom's obsession with Leona, it is so funny.
>>559625683>Can’t be Nala since she should be around Chekas ageThe only "should" is whatever Yana says it is. If she decided to age up Twink!Nala then Twink!Nala will be aged up. How hard is it to understand that the creator of the characters can do whatever she wants with the characters? Thats not literally Nala, it's just someone based on her. Or have we forgotten that Epel is literally based on a fucking apple that could't have been more than a few weeks old.
>>559626027I’m not complaining though, I would him to be twink Nala.
>>559626253Good news for us nalafags, this Jpsis found tweets from Yana from 2018 and 2019 gushing about how cool Nala is. I bet it's from when she saw the stage production of lion king.
Guys I keep seeing people saying that Riele bullied Azul when they were kids but that literally never happened, right? Like it's never been said/shown anywhere in the game or manga that prince riele had anything to do with Azul's issues? It sounds like people making shit up but I've seen it so often in the past few hours that it's making me question my own sanity.
>>559627110Don’t give me hope, it bet it will be some rando
>>559627346Huh? I haven't seen this take at all, not even from the Usual Suspects. I don't think Azul and Rielle have that much of a deep past together, I think they were just classmates at most and Rielle wasn't probably even aware that Azul was getting bullied.
>>559626027>a few weeks old.>Excuse me I saw that you yume Epel, but I am assuming you are older than a month old, in which case this is a severe age gap and that is very problematic, I'm going to have to ask that you remove all your yume art and actually any art of Epel with any of your OCs that are not infants because you are promoting pedophilic content.Me when I message antis with "proship dni" in their bios
>>559628376Literally just had another thing come up on my dash, someone guessing the movies and saying "And that's Rielle, the one that bullied Azul in elementary school." People be saying it like it's common knowledge so I thought I'd missed some lore or something, but I guess it's just people making shit up again.
>>559592215>>559592296You guys are so sensitive about your ENer strawman kek>>559625683Twst has always played kinda loose and wild with source material so there's no reason Nala couldn't be an adult>>559619346Agreed. Honestly still hoping Yana throws us some curveball that makes him suddenly interesting to people like me who couldn't care less about him... Most of the "boring" NRC guys like Kalim still have close characters like Jamil to balance them out, hard to imagine Neige staying flat even if it is RSA we're talking about.
>>559625683I saw some people talking about a theory that this character could be Zira. What do you think of this idea? After all, not all NRC students are the villains, it makes sense to have at least one villain in RSA, right? And if it's Zira, he could have an obsession with Leona, an unrequited feeling for Leona.
>>559632053I don't know anything about Disney's little straight-to-VHS money grabs projects but sure why not.
>>559632514I feel like characters pulled from the straight to VHS projects are too much of a reach for anything but fan OCs (in my head it'd be like fanfiction of fanfiction) kek but who knows
>>559633015There's Najma, who people say is based on Jafar's twin sister(?) from one of the off-the-rails sequels, and people say that Leona's hometown event is based on some random tv show I've never heard of, but since this is Yana I wouldn't put it past her doing deep dives into things that no one actually cares about just for the sake of being self referential, she loves that kind of thing.
>>559634392Huh, the more you know, I guess.
>>559627346Sorry but the mental image of Rielle bullying Azul’s fatness is hilarious.
Imagine the meltdown leona yumes will have if it's revealed that the new furry is actually Zira... Your boy will get barbed sis
I wonder how this'll work out. Seeing as we've already got Che'nya, Neige and the dwarfs, we're probably getting a bunch of dormmates here as well. I can't see them designing 20+ characters and personalities just to dump them after one arc lol. Even 8 is alot. That's more than every event character over 5 years.
>>559638903>probably getting a bunch of dormmatesI wouldn't be so sure. It wouldn't surprise me if we get just the 7 in the announcement and the rest is anonymous student sprites.
>>559634392Yes, the game has some references to the series and concepts from The Lion Guard.
>>559638093Had to look up "zira" and that movie's whole plot sounds like tier-1 ridiculous retconning. But if it means another Leona fanboy then I am here for it.
>>559639918Lion King 2 is pretty good, I recommend. Also it's canon in the Lion King lore too.I recommend it, pretty good movie, Zira is an amazing villain.
>>559639918Maybe I've gotten a skewed perception of things, but I've always thought of that movie as one of the most prominent of the Disney spinoffs. Never personally watched it, but it's very popular; Zira's son Kovu in particular has always been very popular among female Disney fans. If any of the spinoffs were to lend significant material to TWST, that one would be my first guess to the pick.
>>559641159Nah.
>>559638093Why would they care in the slightest? Ruggie has been attached at the hip since the game released to Leona. He's practically his housewife.
>>559642187It's a good movie>>559642286Zira canonically had sex with Scar, who knows? Yumes can be pretty weird from time to time
>>559642286>practically his housewife.Haha I saw you talking about this on tumblrAnyhoo, I'm gonna go back to mourning my Glomas OVA that never was.
>>559642626Did she though? The plot summary I read said that Scar had no blood-related descendents so he just chose someone to be his heir and that someone was Zira's kid.Also, again, nah. A great part of being an adult is having better things to do than watch B-movie-level cartoons.
>>559639510I think the one that's making me think there might be more is the one based on the 3 fairies. They are a set, it'll be kinda odd if they just did one fairy, unless he's an amalgamation of all 3 which might be cool actually
>>559638093>Your boy will get barbed siswouldn't it be the other way around, he'd be giving his barbs to not!zira. Not!zira getting one-night stand'd by leona and yearning for him...
>>559642994Yeah I can't really see Leona being willing to take it from an RSA guy. Might do him a favor and throw him a pity fuck during the interscholastic games.
>>559642748She canonically did, Nuka and Vitani are his kids. The thing is that they were considered "fucked up", while Kovu is considered to be "perfect" in Zira's eyes. I don't understand lion eugenics but this is the tl;dr>>559642994Do you really believe Leona does the topping? I can see him being a top but it might be too much work for him.>"Leona-senpai, are you a top or a bottom? Dom or sub?">"I just wanna cum, do whatever you want. I don't care as long as it feels good." >"Sure! I won't disappoint you!"At least that's how I see it.
>>559643269You gotta read better fanfics mate, the ones I read all have Leona being some kind of sex god, getting VIl off twice before Vil realizes what happened and gets annoyed that they're unequal and then trying to even their stats. Ruggie climaxing so hard he faints before Leona has had a chance to get off. Cater fucked into forgetting what Trey's name is and waking up the next day like "oh shit am I the only one who got off."
Rereading Glorious Masquerade and I love how the drama will sometimes come to a halt so that the boys can be bitches to each other for no reason. Truly our Twisted Wonderland.
>>559643269>Do you really believe Leona does the topping? I can see him being a top but it might be too much work for him.I don't really see him having sex at all, but if he did he'd probably be a service top. He seems like the type of guy who'd be too prideful to be a bottom
>>559638093I'm seeing a spike in people saying it might be Beauty and the Beast, but that tail is definitely lion, to me. Ignoring the people saying pumbaa because that sounds real dumb.
>>559643269>>559644380Leona's whole thing is letting people think he's a lazy ass and not correcting them and then secreting protecting/helping them behind the scenes.This reminds me of the anon who was saying he shouldn't be a prince because it clashing with his "couldn't care less" vibe. That is the whole point, he actually cares a ton and just doesn't want people to know it.
>>559644241My favorite part of this event is still Trein crying because the boys are such irredeemably massive bitches kek
>>559604123>>559612221>>559620956>>559621094Ok so maybe it is Neige. Not impossible, just kinda disappointing. Would rather it be Philip or whoever the prince in Snow White is or even the owl that Aurora dances with in that one scene. Anything but snowboy.
>>559643709I don't really read fanfics that the couple is both third years. I prefer third years with first years. Age gaps are hot. I am not a fujo by any means but reading fics about goody goody Deuce (or Epel, but I prefer Deuce. There was a french fanfic that I read some years ago that changed my mind about these two together) trying his best to impress Leona-senpai by fucking him is truly peak erotique. Even better if Deuce starts thinking "Yayyyy we are dating now >W<".>>559644380>He seems like the type of guy who'd be too prideful to be a bottomI have this thought but about Vil instead. He looks like he's the perfect bottom but I can't see him bottoming at all, feels way too OOC.>>559644450They're being delusional.
>>559644930>feels way too OOC.Agreed. There was one fic a while back that I was able to get through because they balanced "should be a bottom but would never bottom" by having him insist on riding and not letting anyone loom over him. I can kind of see that. "You are not fucking me. I am fucking me. With you."
>>559644930>I have this thought but about Vil instead. He looks like he's the perfect bottom but I can't see him bottoming at all, feels way too OOC.Considering they're highschool-age boys, I think a good chunk of the cast have the "obviously I should be the top" bravado that does not match their actual skill. Even some of the few who would choose to sub have strings attached to the act (like Azul and Jamil).>>559644576>Leona's whole thing is letting people think he's a lazy ass and not correcting them and then secreting protecting/helping them behind the scenes.He just doesn't feel like a sex-haver to me. But if he did have someone that desperate wants to fuck, why not utilize the "lazy" persona to make the other person do the work?
>>559647276>why not utilize the "lazy" persona to make the other person do the work?Well since this is all headcanons anyway, the reason I guess is just cause it's not as hot. Would rather imagine scenarios where Ruggie can't walk straight the next day cause he just had kinks fulfilled that he never knew he had.
>>559647276>He just doesn't feel like a sex-haver to me.My opinion is that Leona takes it lazily but I just don't see him having sex with anybody younger than him, I guess the brother issues make me think he gets off on making older men do the work in bed.The way you've phrased your take is funny enough that I'm reconsidering, though.
Tbh I think every member of savanaclaw is built for x mob but people here seem to hate x mob so I'll sit down.
>>559647905>>559647756I can't imagine Leona with older men or mob, I much prefer him with Ruggie.
Not gonna lie, those silhouettes alone are even gayer than Rook/Vil/Azul/Idia combined. Jesus.
>>559647756> brother issues...okay you might be on to something here.Maybe that's why the only bottom-Leona doujin I can accept are Malleo. Only willing to take it from a crown prince.
>>559647905>Ruggieeasily agree>Jackhe's too much of the vanilla good boy to do mob stuff willingly, he'd have to be blackmailed into doing it>Leonasame as Jack (besides the vanilla bit), though I could see him doing it as a crash out moment similar to celebrities getting into hardcore drugs after the lion king 2 discussion it'd be interesting to see him forced into a fem!mob, where they try to get themselves knocked up to use the kids against his familyFor me, octavinelle is the "built for x mob dorm", the twins are unhinged and azul would be a whore for profit>>559648520It doesn't help that Azul's coat makes his silhouette a fucking brick
>>559649698>>559648520
>>559653118The more things change, the more they stay the same...
>>559654803You know, before the livestream I did see something guessing that twst-alice might be alois to balance riddle being Ciel. At the moment it looks like they could be right.
>>559657854I can't wait to see how Rook reacts to all of this in-person witnessing of Neige. I hope he has fun! I hope they touch and at first Rook seems totally unfazed but then the boys realize he's been frozen completely still from shock and joy. This or he autistically spergs at Neige the same way he did to Vil and we get to see Neige's reaction. Oh, the possibilities are endless...
>>559649698I feel like you're writing from an alternature universe where dubious consent isn't the standard of x mob fiction lolRuggie is built for financial coercion mob. Jack is built for barafag mindbreak mob. Leona is built for humiliation mob.
I keep staring at this I love these dorks
>>559657854>more Neige content soon Finally, i've waited so long for this
>>559669616What do you think his relationship with Chenya is like?
>>559642627I don't use tumblr...
>>559673295Oh damn in that case "Ruggie is basically Leona's housewife" is a thing that's going around today then
>>559674554Well, Ruggie was made to be his designated bottom so it's no real surprise.
>>559675257It's kinda true. Leona and Jack both have lots of shipping all around, but Ruggie is really contained to Savanaclaw. Unless you're a weirdo like me who likes to see him and Cater switch with each other but I acknowledge that I am in the minority.
10 days to blazejewel
>>559675612I'm curious, what did you mean by "Ruggie and Carter switch with each other"? It's not about some people thinking Carter is based on Cinderella, right?
>>559681112What? No. I mean I like fics where Ruggie and Cater take turns taking it up the ass.
>>559489709Just saw a jpsis make this exact same connection
>>559489709>>559682513I'm surprised people are actually making theories about this when it's been hinted at that twst Jasmine is Kalim's cousin since he's based on the sultan and RSA has always been teased to be relevant once the NRC dorms were done. It would strange if it wasn't Kalim's tiger loving cousin because of how specific the description was.
>>559654803His outfit will probably be similar to what Ciel usually wears, right? Do you think he'll be shorter than Riddle?
Are the tweels ballsy enough to harm the prince of their homeland out of jealousy/possessiveness? Why I am even asking, of course they are.
Shota Alice was expected of course but Rielle being a manlet is surprising, not that I mind.
>>559698269Forgot to attach this
If they don't say anything about the second season by the end of the month, does that mean the second season won't premiere this year?
Do you think there will be a countdown for RSA boy?
>>559696793Can't wait to see his relationship and interactions with the scarabia duo
>>559722473I'm curious about this too.
>>559726729I'm still over here with>>559487671>I would like if RSA Jasmine was kind of aggressively with Jamil and wanted to take him from Kalim for himself. And Jamil doesn't want either of their asses. Let's fight over Jamil while he silently (because RSA Jasmine also comes from a family of prestige far above Jamil's own) kills us with his mind.
>>559727994Is this going to be the second ever Azul ship (after azurido) where he tops?
>>559726729As an incestfag I should be into it but I don't think Kalim has the chops to make this fun. I guess is Jasman is really yan and possessive about it while Kalim remains ???? :D I could get behind it.>>559694325I genuinely think it'd be OOC for the twins to be possessive of Azul. They all do whatever they want.
Good cute boy
Why is it so funny to me that some people believe that the new cast has women just because they pose effeminately? Must be how they constantly contradict themselves with their shitty activism.
>>559750758Trey telling them "if you want to play a game with girls in it maybe you should play a game with girls in it?"They get reeeal mad. They have come to a chinese restaurant and they are going to bitch and bitch about the lack of italian cuisine until they die.
>>559751140>TreyOh my god I have started making typos as Twst character names, there is no coming back from this.
Suffering from best boy deficiency. I love Leona being a prince. People in his dorm like "Oh that? That is just a god damn fucking prince of a country in our bathroom. That is a prince there using that mirror. In our public shared sink space. Fucking just a. A damn prince. Literal prince. Stole my soap."
Which boy from greatest to least is the most cuddle in bed friendly?
>>559755092Number 1 is Floyd Eelington Leech and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Cause of the way visual novels are we haven't been able to see it in the game but looking at the manga I am convinced that he is basically attached to Jade or Azul constantly, just hanging off of them like a coat. It's just what he does. Grade A cuddler would snuggle.
>>559753813What, exactly, was the character designer for that PV using as a reference when they drew that powerpoint slide. Leona's hair has never looked like that in the 6 year history of the game.
>>559751140feels in character enough
>>559755092Sebek is probably surprisingly high up there with whoever he ends up dating.Least, idk. Maybe Vil? I don't think he'd be against cuddles with his partner but I have a hard time seeing him initiating.>>559756013Floyd is like a cat with his mood swings, he's all deredere and cuddly until he abruptly decides he's had enough and just gets up and leaves.
>>559757359Oh my god I love this thank you anon you have made my whole week
>>559758326>Floyd is like a catThat explains a whole lot about his popularity in internet polls. The internet knows cats, and that eel is a cat.
>>559750758kek the amount of retards i've seen claim twst Alice and Nala(?) might be women just because of the pose is some galaxy level cope, it's like they forgot how Yana draws men or that this is a joseimuke
>>559761596My favorite response to that discourse was"Have you all forgotten Book 5?"Immediately followed by"Have any of you downloaded the app?"
>>559761596I do wonder from the silhouettes if twst Alice is going to be the trap that proto-Epel was. We've got a lot of cutesy and feminine men but no outright traps.
>>559761730it's been a funny shitshow to watch and the amount of "w-well rsa was never directly stated to be an all boys school" makes me believe these idiots don't read or play the game, some of the biggest cope i've seen are unironically from lesbians saying that twst should have women in it...why even play a joseimuke if you want women?
>>559762007That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it, too.
>>559762086The justification of "but my sexual preference...!" is the most baffling to me. I don't care if you're into men or women or canadian moose, you won't be able to fuck these characters either why, so why should your love for vagina be something the creators of this game should be obligated to take into account?
>>559762352It all loops back>>559592296>It's a "but what about me"-er. They can't enjoy anything as simple as a gambling simulator without making everything about themselves and get tushy troubled when the narrative doesn't allow for it.
You know what is cute? FloAzu. Going through the stitch book story and they are a delight.
>>559758326Cuddles require sleeping anywhere but face up as that is what dermatologists say is the sleeping position that prevents the most wrinkles. Which is a shame cause I NEED to cuddle the Viru.
>>559763509I can't really any of pom being the cuddling type. Out of Savanaclaw maybe Ruggie, cause he's used to cuddling up to his grandma for warmth in winter. Maybe Jack because puppy? Leona because kitty? I can imagine Kalim being used to cuddling with younger siblings that might sneak into his room to sleep with him at night but who knows if they'd be allowed to do so or if he was kept strictly guarded at night to make sure no one went in to kill him as he slept.
>>559762007It’s interesting that they’ve never outright put anyone in a dress. I think rook’s nightwear and the kimono/yukata of the new years series are the closest we’ve ever gotten. I remember people crowing about it when nbc came out because it looked like viru was in a skirt but then it was revealed to just be wide legged pants.
Three-hour maintenance is go. See you on the other side jpsisters.Is this the year I get puppy play Ortho. Is it. Is it.
>>559760317We are something of cats ourselves. Twst JP is slowly introducing new cats to the colony. You can't just throw them in all at once or there will be friction. We need to be kept apart for a while but still be able to sniff around and evaluate the new members. Some silhouettes here, some cropped eyes there. Will the these new stray cats be accepted by the colony? Only time will tell.
>>559766365Doesn't look like dogtho is available this round
>>559770054I kind of want Playfulland Ace. But it's kind of just because he's so hot in that base art.
>>559762086Because most of them are only perfomative lesbians aka they might like women from an aesthetic point of view but they're still attracted to men.This breed is very common in fandoms.
>>559772257You'd think that Twst, with it's 50% cast of men that look like women, would appeal to them directly. But instead they put on a song and dance about being victims being denied anime girls, as if anime girls don't exist in literally every single fucking other IP out of Japan.
>>559772257Twst is actually being very generous by being willing to compromise and provide us with female family members. They could pull the old trick of "all men living in an all male world, this is never acknowledged or explained" like old school BL stuff used to do and it would still be an amazing game.
Guest room invite level increases now go up to 30, dear god. Just when I thought I was catching up.
>>559770271I have joined the ranks of "people who own Beans Floyd"
>>559768557I can't even imagine what a rejection of a new character would look like. Everyone collectively going "nah, not that one."
>crypt Kek
>>559779303The jpn text says basement so it's definitely the basement that we've heard so much about. A shame that it's basically just a replica of the same room in the snow white movie.I do enjoy the chain and...cuff? On the wall tho.
>>559764286Leona maybe a kot.But if you have a kot you know they are very toss and turn prone.I feel like he would be too much like that one scene in Bruce Almighty where Jim Carrey is comically tossing and turning.Now Floyd is unironically think might be the best or worst cuddler because of how much he likes to squeeze people.
Canon pairings announced via train station ads. LeoCay is now canon, I don't make the rules.Original jpsis' comment was like "what exactly is the mood over there with Vil and Jamil"
>>559783117They really love putting Malleus and Lilia together lately kek truly like an anon said it before, the longest slow burn ever
>>559783117So if Jade and Azul are together, who was Floyd paired with?
>>559783117JamiVil being canon is a really amusing concept. These two- despite overlapping in many stories and events- barely talk to or about each other and when they do it's usually a snide jab. Making them a canon ship would piss off pretty much everybody (except me, any ship's a good ship if it has Vil in it) and make nobody happy... Which would be extremely funny.
>>559783117Incest wins
>>559786861Vil and Jimin are both catty bitches (in slightly different ways) and whenever these two and Azul are together, they always give strong mean girls vibes. Shipping aside, this trio is so funny yet underrated, I want to see more of them.
>>559792983*JamilHoly fuck why did I write that name instead when I stopped being a kpopfag a long time ago
Finally put my almost 1 years-long savings to good use, got some awesome cards that were in my wishlist like Applepom Jamil, Rollo, Glomas Idia, Summer Floyd, Suitor Suit Ace, Sunset Savana Leona as well as managing to uncap Dawn Knight Silver twice within ten pulls. I didn't get any of the cards that I desire the most (Glomas Azul and Malleus, Crowley, Halloween Silver, Suitor Suit Idia) yet I somehow ended up fully uncapping Dorm Rook... he and the Hearts guy are always haunting my pulls for some reason.
>>559798678*guys
>>559792983Tapis Rouge or: that time Ace was bullied by three catty, bitchy and mean homosexuals
>>559800904The visuals of this event are just Ace and 3 divorced women to me lol
>>559800904I wonder who will be the extra one
>>559804447Previously hedged my bets on Epel but since Floyd got the rabbit fest SSR I'm not completely sure. Tapis is due a rerun pretty soon it's been 2 years since it was ran and I could see Silver getting it because it's been a long time since his last event SSR, which was halloween 2021.
Wehhhhh, I love the slumber party anni theme, I love twst...Super appreciate the new pin feature for alchemy dailies. Small things like this are what shows me that the devs really pay attention to how players interact with their game and that they're committed to our comfort.
>>559810732What if it’s Leona…Silver might get a new event on his own
>>559800904I think I remember Ace having a huge crush on Vil's dad, but I don't remember how Eric reacted to the boys.
>>559815705I'd only agree to Leona if he was wearing Vil's neck-plunge design but you know the bonus character is gonna be wearing one of the baggy beige looks. Would be such a waste on my lion.
>>559823257Maybe he wears a purple one…
>>559815705I'd say Rugbert but there is no way he's try it on even once when the alternative is reselling it as "never worn" for extra cash.
>>559829632Ruggie would be too busy trying steal Vil's underwear and sell it online. A shame these cards have no story
>>559836657Do you think Ruggie sells Leona's clothes? And that Leona doesn't care about most of the his things Ruggie sells?
>>559839269Ruggie has a line in his first birthday vignette where he says that Leona gives him hand-me-down stuff to sell. He'd probably sell the shirt off Leona's back. Leona puts up with so much shit I love their dynamic.
>>559810885That's just a little mark showing you who the last guy you studied with is, right? It's greyed out so makes it seem like it can turn pink like those usually do, but maybe not. Either way it's super helpful, whenever a new alchemy class round comes along I have to remember what I'd been doing a week ago.
>>559751140>Try telling them "if you want to play a game with girls in it maybe you should play a game with girls in it?"They will dodge the question and call you misogynist for not wanting the game to have girls, they do this every fucking time. If a game is all-girls they will not play it and if it has all-guys they will demand it add girls while also saying that their favorite guys are girls
This was such a waste of an event
>>559841993They think they’re rallying for equality but they’re actually going about it completely backwards. A gacha game with no women actually is a small step towards a shadow of equality for women’s media in the industry, because everything is so heavily skewed in favor of male players via piles of women characters. But they’re so used to the talking point of women being underrepresented in media that they apply that to just everything and hurt themselves in their confusion.
>>559842996At least the art is great, right? I love the art and cards of Riddle, Deuce, and Jack, they're so beautiful.
>>559841993I play blue archive and also twst. So this is just false. I don't think having a girl in the game who isn't a parent/sister/grandma/mob would be that disastrous. Better than the faggot in a literal dress on the left.Especially if she doesn't have a huge ass focus, just HAVING a singular girl isn't gonna be horrible.Having no girls at all is just absurd. BA is basically a fem twst taking from mythology instead and it's genuinely so fucking stupid they pretend men who aren't robots don't even exist. An all boys school wouldn't be that horrid but with fucking designs like that, you're genuinely retarded for people wanting them to be girls.I know mixed toilet gachas are shit but fuck off. One character and never again having the same level of focus isn't going to kill you
>>559854218Hey>>559757359Trey says "if you want to play a game with girls in it maybe you should play a game with girls in it?"It's not absurd. It is literally the genre. What is so absurd about it? I do not understand. We have 1000 games and stuff with boobs all over the place. Give us just this one oasis.If one character and never again isn't going to change anything, then why add them at all? Having no girls is not going to kill you.
Explained exactly why. God you Tumblr and twittard rejects who weren't here before EN are genuinely fucking retarded.
>>559856187I know, right? We keep explaining over and over to retards like >>559854218 and they still don't get it. THey can solve every problem they have with the game by deleting the app, but no, they'd. rather invent reasons to be angry.I long to have so little going on in my life that I am passionately opposed to a gacha game sticking to its target market instead of bending over to meet my own, personal whims and fancies.
>>559854218It would never stop at a singular girl and you know it. Don't act like there is just one, tiny little thing that an anime boy game could do to...I am not even sure what problem you are trying to solve. What is your issue?Anyway, pretending that there is one, tiny little thing that this game could do to solve world hunger or whatever problem you are projecting onto it is ridiculous. It would derail all the dynamics. The entire point to a joseimuke is that it is men, for women. Not women for women. Not co-ed for women. Men for women.If you don't like it then you are not supposed to, because that means your are not in the target audience for this project, and people who are not in the target audience do not get a say in how the game is made.Please do continue bitching though, it's nice to have the thread bumped.
Playing JP on my main account with all the QOL updates and then switching to my EN account feels like going back to the stone age. What do you mean there are only 10 AP.
I should've bought more of those bday gifts. Raising friendship from 20 to 30 takes a fuckton of stickers (about 485) which means I have to choose who I really want at level 120.
>>559859059I like how they're letting us earn them in solo studies. I'm assuming it's temporary, though.
>>559859834Until the 27th, but I'll take whatever I can get. There's also a bunch as rank up rewards for the anni event.
>>559859059I feel so ungrateful. It is awesome to be able to level up from 20 to 30 but I have every single card for my boy and I was just a few days away from maxing out the last one and being able to finally change up my guest room again since right now it's a mess of objects selected to get "excellent" when I invite him. I was so. Close. And now I get to start all over again with the same mess of a room as always. Grinding stickers, grinding stickers nonstop.
Those overblot phantom merch things are way bigger than I'd thought. I'd imagined like, bracelet charm size, and they're like christmas ornaments.
>>559783117You dropped this.That one TreyDeucesis is somewhere out there celebrating with a bunch of plushies I just know it.
>>559861276Looks like a mariachi.
