Fast board today?

I wonder if they changed up how the manga releases so as not to go through another Oda incident. Scarabia feels like it's taking forever but since the release schedule was irregular from the start we can't tell if deadlines are being missed or if this is all a part of the intended scheduling.

I'd agree with your top two but I have to give honourable mention to since club for the third spot. Nerd club has no right to look that cool

Also I'm kinda sad we didn't get the hearts --> octa progression that the proto house reveal implied. Riddle going to Adeuce's rescue after book one would have been amazing, could have had some fun shenanigans sneaking into the museum with Cater's mes and messing with the vault with Trey's unique magic.

Riddle could be distracting Azul because no way would he expect Riddle stick up my ass Rose hearts to stoop to such subterfuge for the duo who punched him in the face kek

Only thing is I can't see any of them pushing tako to overblot. Maybe Adeuce+grim gets a little too gung ho in their rush to destroy their own contract and end up setting the whole pile ablaze?

New thread, apparently.
Yana.
Novel 3 Yana.
Yana pls.

>>566257056
>>566253209
Perhaps Novel 3 hasn't been released yet because Yana plans to make two different versions of Novel 3! One featuring the Hearts and the other featuring Savanaclaw! Maybe she already has the alternate script ready for the Octa Arc, and then they'll announce the regular Novel 3 and an IF version of Novel 3, and then we'll have twice as many illustrations for the Octa Book!

And honestly, I can imagine Riddle burning Azul's contracts, especially since I think Riddle is one of the boys most connected to fire magic? Although Leona and Ruggie burning and provoking Azul is great.

The malleyumes seem awfully quiet after 7.5 but I might have just finally blocked them all.

>>566325276
They legit hold hands to function and I have convinced myself this was lowkey foreshadowed in BJ where they hold hands during the Diasong but both versions of the recording are zoomed in on seb/silver so you can only tell if you squint at the zoomed out bluray version, I wouldn't have caught it at all if I hadn't been looking for it after reading a JPsis' rundown of the show. Cannot believe they cut that.

>>566325276
>>566330072
Also the part in the cafeteria where they overlap and ignore each other, despite interacting with everybody else. That might keep those types quiet for a bit.

Oh my god all the 7.5 talk reminds me, when Malleus volunteers to supervise the investigation? He uses the word 監督, the same word in 監督生, which EN is translated into "prefect."
Malleus is now prefecting the prefect.

>>566341350
He's been chilling at Ramshackle longer, too. Malleus was the real prefect the entire time.

>>566341350
And he needs lilia like the prefect needs grim.
Malleus has been the prefect the entire time.
It is literal self-shipping.

Bump

This month's kind of a snoozefest, but my wallet appreciates the break after Vil and Epel.

What's your most wanted card you either skipped or didn't have enough funds to obtain? And what card did you regret rolling for?

>>566325276
Malleus is saying things to Lilia every shipper wants their ship to say to each other and every yume wants their yume to say to them I find this hilarious. Mallelili sisters must be having a crazy feast over there

>>566361506
There's that voice line mal has about "time flows differently when I'm with you" and it sounds like generic otome bait but I found a vil card with a voice line where he says EXACTLY the same thing. It would be so funny if this whole time people thought "omg malleus loves yuu so much that time itself distorts for him" and it turns out that, no, actually, there is legitimately something weird about the inter-dimensional traveler and the passage of time and the characters have been saying it to our faces since day one because toboso yana loves doing that shit. Twin theory all over again.

>>566363614
>time flows differently
I know this Malleus line and, to be honest, it's never made sense to me coming from him. Malleus' entire thing is that he struggles to comprehend how fast time passes. He has that one line about the prefect and then 12 lines about how he is always losing track of time in all situations, even when the prefect is not around.
Vil, though, that is pure otome pandering. Or maybe foreshadowing about time travel or something, fuel for that theory.

>>566363614
>Twin theory all over again.
Crowley's gonna be Raverne's twin or something and I will die laughing. Yana has exactly one schtick, it has carried Kuroshi for 20 years, and she's not about to change it now. Love that.

>>566361506
Mallelili sisters are probably delighted but I doubt the yumes have even acknowledged it. If something that goes against their headcanon happens in the story, they just double up their fantasies so that they always win. "Oh, Malleus is only at ease when physically touching Lilia? That's nothing, Malleus loves my OC so much that whenever she is not within eyesight he becomes overwhelmed by an uncontrollable rage and summons deadly snowstorms until she kisses him. My OC is the only who can truly calm Malleus down, Lilia's got nothin on my OC :)"
Canon is less important to yumes than the voices in their head. Once I figured that out, fandom discourse made a lot more sense.

I'm so curious why and how did en get so deep into the belief Lilia is Malleus's father. I've even seen some ener tell their friend that they will stop shipping Mallelili once they read ch7 while on JP that pretty much had the opposite effect, more people are into Mallelili now.

>>566372096
EN's got a lot of "you're not allowed to think that, you're only allowed to think the correct thing to think, which is coincidentally identical to my personal opinion." It's had the odd result of new people coming in like "Am I allowed to yume Azul?" and "Would I get in trouble if I wrote LeoRug fanfic?," like fan-students needing permission from their fan-teachers to use the fandom bathroom. The analogy went a weird place, but you get it.

Still forever salty I necromanced my JP account like a week after his rerun ended.

He'll probably be back around in X years when good fairy finally drops in book 8...right?

>>566370812
There's no way Lilia hasn't taken advantage of his little boy looks to get young puss/dick in all those centuries. I love when fanfic has the balls to portray him like a playful creep

>>566374610
It's like how many people hate JamiKalim, but it's the ship with the most English-language fanfics featuring the characters? Like how can they ignore LeoRuggie? I've seen several lists and polls about ships, and they ignore LeoRuggie, acting like this ship doesn't exist, and yet, even in fanfics, there are many fanfics about this pairing? Even though X likes to mention and include various different ships with Ruggie in polls, it's funny that LeoRuggie still has many more English-language fanfics than all the other Ruggie ships, but they ignore this when talking about ships about Ruggie. Which makes me wonder what this means.

>>566378402
>Which makes me wonder what this means
There's nothing to wonder about really. It's like pastors preaching against sin to the congregation and then logging on to grindr in private. They will scream anti-LeoRug rhetoric until their throats bleed to feel superior and self righteous, then switch tabs to their 200+ bookmarks of LionHyena porn. It's okay when they do it because they're logical and mature, they will not personally be corrupted by unbalanced power dynamics. No one else in fandom can handle it, though, everyone else are brainless children who need to be guided down the path of righteousness.

>>566369906
>Lilia's got nothin on my OC :)
I have seen people who unironically post things like this (“Those boys underestimate her but my OC can kick all their asses!!” etc.) and I think I figured out why it’s so odd to me: it kind of sounds like they consider themselves to be in competition with Yana. “She thinks she’s come up with something good here but, oh boy, wait till her OCs get a taste of mine! They won’t know what hit ‘em once they meet my OC!” And it’s…weird. Like girl, Yana created this world, the minute you adopted her concepts instead of coming up with your own, you lost. Relax.

>>566360776

I've seen someone commeting
>twst fans read the lore challenge impossible
under a post that was shaming a Malelili fan... literally the pot calling the kettle black.

>>566392015
Saw some of these posts and it physically pained me to see en call it 'demoted to friend', the significance of Malleus calling Lilia his friend, the only time he uses the word ever, is completely lost on them. The entire point is that he was so lonely and Lilia was the first ever to notice that, not even his grandma and all the guards, and kept him company.

>>566404010
Call me biased or whatever but knowing her taste, I have a feeling that Yana ships them and it's not just fujobaiting

>>566411405
I agree, I think it's one of her favorite ships. I think you can tell which ships Yana likes from how the characters interact in the story. For example, I think she likes Ace/Deuce, as well as Jamil/Azul, and I also think she likes Jmail/Kalim. I think she likes Trey/Riddle, and sometimes I think Yana prefers Jade/Riddle to Riddle with Floyd. It's just my impression, but does Yana make Riddle interact more and work more as a duo with Jade than with Floyd? Even though Floyd/Riddle seems more popular? And Rook/Vil, they definitely seem canon and act like a couple. Which ships and couples do you think she likes?

>>566411405
With the amount of content they're getting lately? Wouldn't be surprised. And we'll probably see more in book 8. Just hoping en will be calmer by then. I wonder if Lilia will call Malleus his friend too he hasn't said that right? it took that long for Lilia to call Silver his son kek

>>566396202
And it was even foreshadowed at the beginning of Book 7, Lilia telling the prefect like "Malleus needs a friend." He had never considered himself a candidate for the role, just like he'd never considered that Silver wouldn't go out into the human world one day and leave him behind. It is the entire point.

>>566415343

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but feels like there is a big overlap of people who are desperately trying to push the father and son Malleus/Lilia dynamic and the people who yume with Malleus or Lilia. I wonder if some part of it is driven by feeling threatened

>>566465216
Typical yume behavior, their whole thing is “I reject your reality and substitute my own.” If canon conflicts with their selfship then the canon itself must be wrong.

>>566466239
I just wish they wouldn't present their headcanon as the objective truth that everyone else needs to adhere to. But that's basically the problem with modern-day EN fan spaces in a nutshell.

Bump

>>566471001
Isn't there a meme like that
"I can't do this because of my religion." That's fine.
"You can't do this because of my religion." That's where we have a problem.
No one has to ship Mallelili or LeoRug or whatever by law. If someone wants to make up rules in their head and then force themselves to abide by those rules, then more power to them. But the minute they start telling other people to abide by the rules in their head? That's where we have a problem.
Fanfreaks and religiousfreaks have way, way too much overlap.

>>566478949
Wasn't there like a huge conversation on here a while back comparing the recent rise in puriteenism to religion? Witchhunts ("I heard that person is proship"), hypocrisy ("If you yume Floyd you're a pedophile because he is underage, but Lilia is fine"), conformity ("If you don't unfollow that proshipper there will be consequences"), constant self-righteousness and preaching, etc.? It's like they were all raised in cults, and without being told what to think they'll lose their minds, so they're applying those same principles to a goddamn Toboso Yana IP, which hilarious. It's like trying to set up a vegan corner in a butcher shop.

I thought we were celebrating the English release of Book 7.5, where Malleus and Lilia practically became canon?

Now I admit I'm thinking about the future of Book 8 or 9, a scene where Malleus tells Lilia that he'll stay by his side forever, protecting and caring for him forever (especially if it's after some revelation about Ravenne and Malleus wanted to comfort him), but then Lilia would joke about whether Malleus was proposing to him, that he should at least wait until he graduates to do so. I think that could be a touching and funny scene, and how would the fandom react to such a scene?

I am not a yume so I gotta ask what are the conditions for that? Just who on the cast you want to fuck?

>>566574926
Turning fandom jargon into layman's terms is interesting.
I yume Malleus - in my head, Malleus and I have sex.
I am non-sharing - I don't want anyone having sex with Malleus in their head but me
I am a yume - I regularly fantasize about having sex with people

The insinuation in 7.5 that Maleficia immediately knew what was going on with Malleus' magic and that he would need Lilia in order to magically function long before STYX figured it out for themselves is driving me nuts. Why did she know that. What does she know. What exactly happened when Malleus was born and does she know what it was and why did she let the senate treat her only child's only child's savior like that, damn, are they a constitutional monarchy where the royals can do fuck all like Japan's emperor or what.

>>566582236
I would not be particularly surprised if it were to be suddenly revealed that Maleficia has no political influence, but it would be very odd if the entire country were being ruled by three ghosts.

>>566582236
>>566586243
Nah there has been too much info about Malleus being trained up to rule a country, he definitely gets a say in what goes down. Makes me wonder though why they don't tell the senate to just fuck off, what's the worst that could happen? They're dead.

>>566591535
Well they seem capable of blessing and/or cursing infant dragons princes, so they're probably not the sorts of ghosts you want to make mad at you. If they disapprove of something and go rogue, how could they even be stopped? If they assemble their own army to take down Maledicia, for example, it's not like they can be captured or killed. Immortal and incorporeal, immune to any consequences? Not the kind of people you want standing against you. They sure did fuck all against the humans, though, I guess.

>>566636170
Hey they have to do something in order to make the rerun worth to read again

>>566615592
Things were rough before Yuuna because Yuuka has objectively sucked since day one but if you said it then they had the ammo of "Oh, how convenient, there is ONE female character and you coincidentally hate her but it's not because she's female? Sure. Keep telling yourself that, fucking misogynist."
But then came Yuuna. Finally we can point to Yuuna like "There, a female character worth our time, not a deuce-lookalike, girl-power cardboard cutout with no personality."
And no. I have never seen anyone complaining about Yuuna. I don't actually give a shit if someone dislikes Yuuna, but I've never seen it. She is best Yuu overall, in my opinion, but I've never liked Yuuken from the start. Maybe Yuuna -> Yuuta -> Yuuken ->>>>>>>>>>>>>Game Yuu, who literally has no name, backstory or point at all. Yuuka need not apply.

>>566661854
Agreed, Yuuna is such a nothing burger, bland in ever way possible. I can't even call her a character as the only thing that sets her apart from game Yuu is the fact that she has a design. Yuuken is kinda dull too but his straight man reactions can be funny sometimes and he's lowkey hot. Yuuna and Yuuta are the only Yuus I give a shit about because they feel less like self-inserts and more like actual proper characters. Also, Yuuta and Azul's moments were kino, best Yuu/OB relationship dynamic.

>>566661854
Maybe because nobody gives a shit about her, couldn’t care less about her”character”

>>566669498
I legit saw someone defending her by saying they have heard she is a "gentle, quiet character." I asked if they had read the manga. They said no.
I legit saw someone saying that Yuuka is a trans icon because she binds her chest and hides the fact that she is a girl and tries not to draw attention to herself.
I pointed out that all three of those are not only incorrect, but Yuuka is seen doing the exact opposite of all three of them, wearing a sports bra openly around the house and getting up in people's faces. Their response was, "Well I identify with Yuuka a lot and I wear a chest binder and if it were me I would hide I was a girl and not draw attention to myself."
In their head they had rewritten over what little character Yuuka has with their own, completely opposite personality, projected it onto the character, and then defended the character as if protecting themselves. That is how little characterization Yuuka has.
But if their goal was to make her a self-insert then they succeeded phenomenally, apparently. She is so boring that readers are mistaking her for their own, equally boring selves.

>>566669409
I am excited for Yuuta animated. I hope they get someone from Kansai to voice him. I have a drama cd by a Kanto guy doing a Kansai accent and it’s not bad of course but there is just something about the real Kansai dialect.

I hope they introduce a qol update that lets you filter out your fully leveled cards cause trying to hunt down my high-level-but-not-maxed-level cards for tsum lessons is taking even more time than the lesson grinding itself.

>>566678984
My first thought was "doesn't matter if it's a Wakayama seiyuu if the dialogue was written by a guy in Tokyo. That is like a guy in New York writing dialogue for a character from Texas. Doesn't matter who says it, it's gonna sound off." But then I remembered that interview that the director gave saying that they consulted with the seiyuu during recordings because the seiyuu got their instructions from Yana, so they know what Yana wanted for game performances and they can apply that to the anime. But then I remembered an interview with someone, I think KobaTatsu, where he said that the animation was basically complete by the time they were called in to record. So I guess the things that seiyuu can change are like, tone? Probably pretty limited. I doubt they're going to go over budget and over schedule because Kobayashi Chiaki thinks "Deuce probably wouldn't say that."
So yeah. They'd need a kansai-native on the writing staff, or at least hire someone to give a pass over the final script or something. And cause it's Twst, they might just do it.

Good so far, hopefully the bottom half of the outfit isn't too weird. Excited for Silver's groovy.

This series is funny because everyone looks amazing so my favorite cards are just in order of my favorite boys.

What kind of Comedy would Vil act in? Would he even do comedies or would he take himself too seriously to accept a clownish role?

He has been really funny himself honestly. Might be a natural in slapstick comedy if I'm considering how funny he was shouting in pain with Malleus when they were getting that massage in his bonbon story
