Welcome to Miichannel!
Hello PriFriends, what would you do if some strange side character you have never spoken to suddenly confessed that your brother is her soulmate?

Good ainon.

Why is Suburu such a faggot? Did OtoP dress him up like a girl when they were younger?

>>283130912
There's nothing wrong with being a boy and liking kyoot things.

>>283130923
The lipstick is a bit much, you have to admit.

Why did they have to be straight...

>>283131015
The tea lady has the big gay though, that's the reason why she never appears in any of OTR's vignettes in KinPri.

Pirate Subaru is too GAR for how autistic he is.

Otobe stepping in and confirming the reasoning behind not using premium rare dresses. Probably a good call, considering some of the badmouthing that was brewing.

>>283130511
i don't even need the original text to know who tweeted this

>>283131256
This is clearly one of OtoP’s delusions, like the whole Prince RP.

>>283131351
The tweet was deleted. What did it say?

>>283139495
Otobe confirmed the fan theory that the Pripara girls didn't wear any of Aikatsu's premium rare coords because the designers only entrust them to a select few idles was true.

>>283139495
Confirming a tweet from another user that the reason that they didn't use Premium Rare dresses from Aikatsu was that because in the show designers have to approve the idle that wears them first.

It was in response to some really stupid riffraffing between some idiots over the circumstances behind not using Premium Rare dresses in the movie, one of the ones that went viral framed it as a CG team bias towards not using Aikatsu dresses so it was most likely a direct response to that speculation.

It’s cold, I need this spicy lady to heat things up.

After watching the shorts, Ajimi as Taroman fits her perfectly.

When you watch Prichan correctly.

>>283143933
I had a similar reaction to the surrealist art of Taroman as to all the art references in Pripara, namely being that I clearly lack the prerequisite art history knowledge necessary. Still a fun watch.

OtoP can unleash her full power as a fashionable witch during Halloween.

>>283157878
im surprised she’s wearing the ghost outfit in the episode instead of something fashionable
or stealing tamaki’s succubus outfit

>>283157878
Subaru is in danger…

>>283157918
Maybe OtoP doesn't have the same critical weakness to lame frumpy outfits as the passing-through fashionable ancestors.

>>283157936
Subaru would be in danger if she was wearing the cute PriNeko onesie, but he'll be fine around a mere witch outfit.

When she thought "That looks fun", Ring Hime becomes a stuffed animal and goes to Paradise Academy. Ring Hime, in the form of a PriCorn, goes around the Halloween Party enjoying the exchange of sweets and ghost costumes. While that is happening, she notices Juria and Elle, who are organizing the event, are fighting....

>>283172065
>next season
the elite doesn't seem as confident in aipri getting a third season as ainon. recently I've seen a lot of people suggesting that it won't.
When did S2 get announced last year?

>>283172370
>When did S2 get announced last year?
The teaser was released at Crossing Live or Winter Live (I forget) followed by the full announcement event in February.

>>283172370
Uncle Tomy already talked about a third season back when they announced S2 if things kept well.
Given sales numbers seem to be as strong as ever, I don't see a reason for there not to be a S3.

>>283172790
>Given sales numbers seem to be as strong as ever, I don't see a reason for there not to be a S3.
This. They already have everything in place for the arcade and strong business results to this day.
Even if S3 flops the risk they would be taking is low compared to launching another project that might perform worse.

>>283172790
>a third season
For the record, he didn't explicitly say S3, he just said he's looking forward to announcing something at the same time next year. That said, AiPri S2's sales are up from last year (IIRC T-Arts' IR said they're up ~175% from last year) so I doubt they want to turn off the money printer this early. Fujisaki vaguely alluded to it being a 3 year show last year when he posted something to the effect of "2 more years huh..." so I think OLM is still onboard.

>>283174285
Wako is too afraid to act her age.

>>283174285
After ainon pointed out that it was possible that Wako was wearing her AiPri outfit in the real world, I have the mental image of her having an entire closet filled with wacky cosplay outfits that she can’t remember why she owns.

>>283173624
i still can't believe yuko gave her bigger breasts

my cosplay arrived..

>>283175283
Yuko is a woman of culture. It was also drawn by the prop designer who is also a woman of culture.

>>283175381
i thought you already had one

>>283175283
Really? You can’t believe that Yuko, of all people, would do that? C’mon.

Gay jealousy is much more frightening for girls than for boys.

>>283175801
They're just good friends.

>>283175465
yes,i have three now

Why does my sidle wife speak like a retard

>>283176151
...because she is one.

>>283176151
Just because she ends her sentences with -PAN doesn't mean she's a retard

Okay, maybe she indeed is one.

This is also a subtle gay portrayal disguised as friendship...although not as blatant as Komachi and Rei.

>dumb
>eats a lot
Damn, so she's basically a straight and prettier version of Himari.

It seems that Tamaki is pro-gay.

...perhaps not that straight either.
>can we have AiPri goods at our store?
I just hope they don't purchase any Chii merch...
Worst mistake they could make.

>instantly falls in love just from him picking something up for her
It's just a matter of time before she finds another boy to obsess over for little to no reason and the netorilu cycle against Nagisa repeats.

>>283176709

i like that himari chimed in when (the lack of) food was involved

>>283176631
She wants others to have what she couldn't.

I'm glad to get Ichika-chan's episode after so much painful wait.
It was a fun episode. Funny how we first had business partners becoming good friends, and now we have good friends who want to become business partners.
Now I just wish I could show up in her crystal ball too...

Koizumi Yakumo was abandoned by his parents at a young age and raised by his great-aunt, but the fact that this wasn't the case for the Hoshikawa siblings may have been a conscious decision made during the production.
The problem is that although both Yakumo and Mitsuki have good relationships with their parents, they have not been able to come out to each other as gay.

>>283177032
I believe in you, ainon. There will be many more unfortunate situations for Nagisa in the future.

Mii's Gaydar is Accurate

it's funny how yakumo actually knew she fell for him the second he handed her that crystal ball
he is fully aware of his effect on the ladies

>>283177139
>Koizumi Yakumo
Rare Kwaidan appreciator, sasuga ainon.

It is said that Mii is homosexual, but she might also be gay.

>>283177364
big if true

>>283177298
Not surprising, dude probably gets a love letter in his locker every week. Makes you wonder what his deal is.

>>283177272
Mii keeps tabs on potential threats until she can make sure they're not interested in Himari.

>>283177473
my theory is that he just wants to read his books but has been cursed with extreme handsomeness
either that or he has a supernatural aura that attracts ghosts and women (supernatural beings)

>>283177842
>Chii’s oneechan was actually looking for Yakumo
Strange theory but who knows, weird things happen in the warm and kind world.

Ricky Martin is apparently fed up with women still hitting on him even after coming out as gay...

>>283178022
perhaps when he said that a cute ghost may appear by your side he was speaking by personal experience, and thought this happens to everyone

>>283178076
>obake will come next to you
He was actually displaying his meta knowledge about Rice Rinne.

>>283178719
Wako was actually permabanned from the game and Ring Hime is an obvious ban-evasion alt.
It seems the admins have noticed but decided not to ban her again for now, instead they just limited her account from taking part in competitive tournaments.

>>283179103
That's probably something along the lines that they want to depict, but it's so hard to go with that interpretation due to her seemingly being an older authority figure.

This is an unfair duo when it comes to popularity.

Angels create the future

Were any ainons planning on subbing KinDra? desu I could probably sub it but I would be working on it at a verrrrrrrry slow pace, I don't have much free time these days.

>>283180560
Just do it. There wouldn't be much to sub unless you're planning on adding the song karaoke, the hardest part would be the announcer during Alec's song but the rest wouldn't be much work.

>>283180560
I don't recall anyone putting any real commitment towards it, either here or in other spaces. You'd be fine doing it as a slow pace thing, if you're interested in doing so.

Bad TL 1/
>Were you aware of each other?
>Ohba: To unravel the story, I suppose we must begin with the Pretty Rhythm era... There was a boom in arcade games for girls that began with 'Oshare Majo Love and Berry' (Love Berry) nd when 'Love Berry' ended its service, the movement died down for a time. After that, it was said that JS fashion boom swept through the girls and that girls stopped coming to the toy section. Instead of progressing from toys to makeup as a hobby, they went straight into fashion, didn't they? Therefore, we aimed to turn the sales floor into a theatrical atmosphere to encourage the girl to return there. That was Pretty Rhythm. The Pretty Series initially began not with cards, but with costumes emerging from gemstones (Prism Stones). "Aikatsu!" came out...
>Harada: When Pretty Rhythm went into full operation, I went to the stores to see it. Amazing! This part of the cabinet actually rotates! At the time, Bandai was primarily focused on developing Data Carddass titles aimed at boys, such as Dragon Ball, but it was also a period when the company was seriously considering venturing into titles for girls. Originally, Data Carddass followed in the footsteps of Carddass, so its perspective was fundamentally focused on the card business. How chan we make collecting cards enjoyable and ensure the game is played with pleasure? To properly challenge the target of the girls' market, we recognised that an original world capable of showcasing the inherent fun of playing with the Data Carddass cards was essential. As a result, we launched a project including an anime. That was Aikatsu!.

Interview with Ohba-P (Tomy Arts Producer) and Harada-P (Bandai Namco Producer)

>>283181358

Bad TL 2/
>Ohba: We were aiming to showcase the gimmicks using Prism Stones, an idea that was expanded upon from the concept of our toys. When we were conducting sales, it was extremely difficult to persuade customers and clients because at the time, games aimed at girls were considered to be a thing of the past. As a result, that's how the distinctive qualities of the Prism Stone toy came into their own.
>Harada: Pretty Rhythm, which had been adapted across into a media mix project and was taking on many challenges, was something I had been keeping my attention on.
>Ohba: You were mindful of each new expansion's launch date, weren't you? There's that question of whether to bring forward or postpone the operational date. If brought forward, we could gain a head start, but...
>Harada: Sometimes it can be advantageous to act after the fact, can't it? Children do like new things afterall.
>Ohba: Prism Stones were released every three months for production reasons, but watching Aikatsu! made me wonder if every two months might actually be the correct way? However, if you want to tie it in with the anime's peak popularity, three months might be preferable.
>What else did you take into account the game's content and design?
>Ohba: I know I keep talking about Pretty Rhythm, but it was the height of the so-called JS (elementary school girls) boom, so the fashion was consciously based on real clothes of the time and we even collaborated with kids' fashion brands. AKB48 became popular, sparking an idol boom that reached even among children. Pretty Rhythm had also collaborated with AKB48, but then Aikatsu! came along. Aikatsu! featured idols as the characters.

>>283181370

Bad TL 3/
>Harada: With original characters, including their world-building, I researched all sorts of things precisely because we had so much freedom. After all, we must differentiate ourselves in order to get people to like Aikatsu!.
>Ohba: At that time Takara Tomy Arts was fighting a lonely battle alone, but the market expanded somewhat when Aikatsu! entered the fray.
>Harada: Had I not been working on the anime, I might well have ended up fighting with the children in the shops. I believe it was beneficial that both titles, each integrated with the anime, continued to attract new children.
>Be honest, have you ever found that it wasn't all fun & games?
>Ohba: To say 'no' would be a lie (laughs). It was a battle for space, you see.
>Harada: Well, yes (laughs). However, as a result, having the Aikatsu! and PriPara cabinets side by side increased the children's choices so if there was a queue for PriPara, they might play Aikatsu' instead that day... and vice versa. So there was a synergistic effect.
>Ohba: When I asked my children which they preferred, Aikatsu! or PriPara, they once replied, "Do I have to only like one or the other?" The children were playing with both of them. They didn't even realize that they were by different companies. After all, both PriPara and Aikatsu! were broadcast as anime on the same channel, TV Tokyo.
>Harada: Children who were playing Aikatsu! would join in with their friends if they were playing PriPara, wouldn't they? Of course, I suppose there were some single-minded children too (laugh).
>Were you two in contact with each other during the broadcast and operational period?
>Ohba: We occasionally bump into each other at events like Ciao Fest, and I spoke to them when we were so close that not speaking would have felt unnatural. When Prism Stone Harajuku opened, Harada also brought some wine along for us. You certainly are stylsih like that, aren't you? (laugh)

>>283181382

Bad TL 4/
>Harada: I spent a long time at Bandai working in production roles for video games and other such products. The gaming industry tends to get on rather well with other companies, you see.
>Ohba: Of course, I certainly don't discuss things I shouldn't with him, but we didn't lie to each other either. The day before the announcement at Ciao Fest, we had agreed over a meal about we how would make the announcement.
>Harada: Because it was the day before, you see. Even if I knew the content of the announcement, there's nothing I could do about it.
>Have you continued to work hard together, competing with each other?
>Harada: That's right. It's truly wonderful that we've been able to continue doing this for so long. It is thanks to the support of our fans and the anime teams. Come to think of it, even back then, Ohba used to say to me, "hey shall we make a double feature together?" I remember thinking, "What on earth is he talking about!?" (laughs).
>Ohba: After doing manga and anime, I thought the next step would be a film, wouldn't it? But since making a film seems rather daunting, I thought it might be better to do a double feature, like how the old 'Manga Matsuri' used to do (TL Note: think he's talking about Toei's Manga Matsuri where they'd premier toku films). If we do it under Ciao's banner, it might just work. It was just idle chit chat at the time, wasn't it? It wasn't the right moment for that sort of thing.
>Was it considered that unthinkable within the industry?
>Harada: Nowadays, it's commonplace for different titles to collaborate in mobile games, so I don't think it's an impossible scenario. It was quite rare back then though.

>>283181403

Bad TL 5/END
>Ohba: When the proposal for this collaboration came in, it was a time when I was feeling quite emotional, having just completed the virtual musical for Kiratto PriChan's 5th anniversary and the PriPara 10th anniversary exhibition. Just when I'd let my guard down a bit, Yoda (Tatsunoko Production's producer Ken Yoda) got in touch with me. I wanted to do it, but I thought someone higher up might make a calm judgement and say no. But nobody said anything (laugh).
>Harada: I think the fact that the Dream Collaboration Festival (a collaboration between Aikatsu! and Pretty Series) had taken place beforehand was a significant factor.
>Were both of you involved in the theatrical anime?
>Ohba: During the planning stage, we were consulted on who to feature and who to have sing. We considered various patterns, matching up the number of people in each group and thinking about the different combinations.
>Harada: Ultimately, we must satisfy our fans. There was absolutely no desire to only feature Aikatsu! or the opposite.
>Ohba: I prioritised getting them hooked above all else. As mentioned earlier, I believe the fact that the children were playing on both sides was our biggest significant factor.
>Harada: Aikatsu! works precisely because it accepts things with an open mind, saying "That's Aikatsu too, isn't it?"
>Ohba: It's perfectly fine for everyone to be different. "Everyone's a friend, everyone's an idol" so for PriPara, the Aikatsu! girls are friends and idols too.
>Harada: What lay at the core of them resonates deeply.
>Ohba: The children who had been playing together in the same place are now gathering once more at the theatre. Perhaps the person sitting next to you in the theatre might have been the one you played alongside as a child. I believe it was a miraculous encounter for us.

>>283181418
>Aikatsu! works precisely because it accepts things with an open mind, saying "That's Aikatsu too, isn't it?"

Lulutto Lily pilot

New magical girl idol show from Pierrot and Bandai Namco. Main characters are an elementary school girl and her older junior high sister.

>>283186247
Protagonist, Nonoyama Kaze
CV: Tachibana Mei
A bright and innocent elementary school student. When something fun comes up, she acts on it immediately. She feels a distance in her heart from her older sister, Nagare

>>283186270
◆Nonoyama Nagarw
CV: Nao Oshika
A serious and quiet middle schooler, though a bit of a space cadet. She has a reserved personality and feels envious of her more outgoing younger sister.

>>283186247
>sisters
cute
I'm watching

>>283186270
>>283186288
The furigana says Fuu and Rui, not Kaze and Nagare

The plot summary on the official site actually sounds great.
>Nonoyama Fuu is an innocent elementary school student who can't wait for summer vacation.
>Nonoyama Rui is a modest but hardworking middle school student.
>They used to be close sisters, but
they've started to drift apart...
>Rui used to love singing, but after being hospitalized she became shy and reserved. Fuu is outgoing and happy and is always the center of attention.
>Rui has become jealous of her active little sister always does what she wants, but Fuu is feeling lonely because she can tell that her older sister is keeping her distance from her.
>One day, Fuu encounters a mysterious spaceship and is granted magical powers. At the same time, Rui meets a different alien and also gains wonderful magical powers. They use their powers transform into the adult forms they've always dreamed of.
>However, there are 2 rules. First, they will only have magic power for a year. Second, they can't tell anyone about their magic, not even to each other.
>The two, unaware of each other's secrets, become active as idols!

>>283186463
>they can't be a team
sisters should get along :[

>>283186463
Now we'll have two little girl main characters who are forever scathed from their hospitalization and isolation from society...
>transform into adults
Cute that they are keeping the essence of Pierrot mahou shoujo. It's been a while since the last one with this motif. The girls look cute, at least in little girl form (not very convinced of Rui's idol form though, Fuu's is cute).

She's a bit too sexy.

>>283186649
>>283186640
>your lil princesses dream of growing up to become gyaru idol sluts

>>283186640
is this an appropriate outfit for an elementary schooler???

I hadn't realized how this type of one-off, not-a-parody not-subversive real-deal bona-fide magical girl shows, pretty much completely vanished after Madoka. Like, it seems obvious in hindsight but I never realized how quick it was. Like, Lilpri came out just the year prior. But afterwards, nothing. Twin Angel maybe?

>>283186937
Madoka had little to nothing to do with it, it was mainly the ever increasing market domination of precure that was to blame, most companies thought there was no point in even trying to compete. But the success of PriOche has demonstrated that it still is possible to make money on these shows.

>>283186937
The theory was that Precure was able to fully cement itself as THE magical girl show, and nobody else was really able to compete.
Then in recent years the variety of long-running little girl shows began to dwindle in general as well, to the point where there was basically only Precure for a time.
Something has changed though, because between last year and this year we seem to be getting many little girls shows once more, with Precure, AiPri, Princession and now Lulutto Lily all to be airing simultaneously. And there is speculation about a new Minky Momo project as well.
Not sure of the cause for this sudden explosion of new shows after years of drought.

>>283186149
cute how they swap their hair colors when transforming, implying they look up to each other

>Mii’s bio says she can play the piano
>is wearing a piano cord here
>is not playing the piano
Alright then. Himari being the conductor also seems like a horrible idea if you wanted an actual functioning music group. Old hag with bells is funny, and the Nanauras are rockin that Alice Pepper on Chino style really well.

>>283189647
i guess that outfit is closer to what someone her age should be wearing

>>283186369
It's interesting too in that this sort of age gap between sister protagonists is rare in /ai/ anime.
They usually make them twins, like in Fushigiboshi no Futagohime or Miracle Girls, so it's an interesting idea. I think their plan is to make the show relatable both to elementary and middle schoolers.
Big hopes for this one.

>>283186149
>>283186247
>>283186463
Looks cute and the production values are above-average for the currently airing little girl shows. The dynamic of the sisters sounds like it could have some heavy moments to it which is how I like my kid's shows.
Hoping it doesn't get boring after 1 cour like Mewkledreamy.

>They can't tell each other they have magic
Holy shit they're doing more justice to "himitsu" than aipri lmao

>>283191094
Mii can be a little scary sometimes, but I still like her.

>>283186640

>And there is speculation about a new Minky Momo project as well
wait what

shhh Dark Chii-chan had a hard day writing emails and needs some rest.

>>283191398
WAKE UP

>>283191317
They made a bunch of social media accounts for the franchise earlier this year and started making a lot of merch, pop up shops, collab cafes, etc. Lots of speculation since it came out of the blue.

Imo, I think it now might make more sense as Pierrot drumming up franchise interest in advance of Lulutto Lily rather then setting up a Minky Momo reboot. Just my guess, though.

OtoP is immune to the fashionable witches' weakness.

>>283186149
Oh, one more pretty big link:
>Series Composition: Yuuko Kakihara (series composition for Aikatsu Stars, Aikatsu Friends, and Jewelpet Sunshine)

>>283191317
They literally turn older when they use their magic. Or do you mean their JC/JS forms too?

>>283192601
Aikatsu Stars/Friends was coming to mind in terms of artstyle.

Close enough, welcome back Aikatsu.

you can stop now rolafag

>>283193011
??
Is "Aikatsu Stars" your pavlovian bell or something?

>>283192994
Seems like an exceptional reach. The character designs don’t look similar at all and it seems extremely silly to expect it to be anything remotely close to either of those Aikatsu just because of a writer overlap. Doubly so, since the obvious inspiration for style and tone is the older Pierrot shows.

>>283186640
>>283186649
My question is how much of a throwback this show is intended to be and how hard they're committing. I think a good measure is whether they do a romance/crush side plot with an older guy who doesn't know their real identities. I don't think stuff like that is allowed anymore, but it used to be very common.

>>283192349
>immune to traditional fashion weaknesses
>can use fashionable magic outside of AiPri
The world is lucky that OtoP has a single minded focus on pampering her otouto and protecting him from scary frogs, she could've been a dastardly villain otherwise.

>>283193165
It's more of the colors than the artstyle I guess.
Also the thing with the writer varies, some writers have a huge range and will adapt to each franchise, others will leave their fingerprints all over it.
The show might be using the structure of a pierrot show, but it could be closer to Aikatsu in other details like in character interactions or the episodic lessons.

>>283193274
Pfft, just look at the difference between Stars, Friends, and Sunshine. Even saying that you could find some writing consistency between those three is a bad joke. Hell, trying to find writing consistency just in Stars by itself is a futile exercise.

>>283193399
I will concede that this writer seems more like the type to follow closely what the producer wants, but we do have plenty of examples of writers which are iconic for their recurring elements and "vibe".

>>283193484
Sure, completely agree with that. Of course, we don't how it'll pan out until it airs, but I personally don't think expecting anything remotely close to Aikatsu is a particularly reasonable outlook to have.

And hey, with how well the movie is doing, I have more hope now of an actual Aikatsu revival than I have had in a long time. Chin up, ainon.

Hanitan sex noises.

>>283193629
Now that is infinitely more appealing than the usual!

>>283192994
Seems about as Aikatsu as Idol Precure is. That one at least had turning a spoon into a microphone and Twitter being Kirakiratter.

The script writer said this:
>Magical girls have always been a source of dreams.
>I spent a long time working on this project with the director and staff, remembering the excitement I felt watching Creamy Mami as a child.
>I hope to be able to convey to the next generation the many emotions I received from Mami's anime, which is at times gentle and kind, at times soft and cute, at other times chaotic and fun, and at other times a little sad.

So are we going to adopt this show or the resident old men yelling at clouds that hate change will shoo it away?

go back to being retarded in the precure thread

>>283193862
Really not trying to be subtle at all about whatever grudge you’re nursing, eh?

>>283191934
>Imo, I think it now might make more sense as Pierrot drumming up franchise interest in advance of Lulutto Lily rather then setting up a Minky Momo reboot
The Minky Momo IP doesn't belong to Pierrot though, it belongs to Ashi Productions.
I even went to their website to check if they were bought by Pierrot but that doesn't seem to be the case, it's not even listed as one of their major business partners.

>>283193956
I liked how old /ai/ was fun and ever-changing, but now it's stale and refuses to add new little girl shows when it clearly would help.

>>283194146
I hate rolafag so no I'm not him.
But old /ai/ had this vibe of being the Shounen Jump of little girl anime, every year we had new stuff like Farilu, Pripara, Aikatsu, Cocotama, etc. /ai/ was the "non-Precure little girl thread", not the "Aikatsu and Pretty" thread.

>>283194008
That's very interesting, I didn't know that. Do you know off-hand how the other shows (Creamy Mami, Fancy Lala, etc) fall in terms of IP ownership?

From my perspective, I just think those others are not discussed in there because there wasn't much to discuss to begin with. Or that of not enough ainons are watching newer stuff to care.
For instance, I still believe Prioke should've belonged in here, since it's the official intent and the way the episodes are built to fit in with each other. But somehow the schizo ainon was correct and the show is really shit.
I should really finish another Jewelpet.

>>283194251
don't think anyone shooed Princession away, it simply got its own threads. The main audience seems to be the symphogear crowd anyway.
besides we discuss punirunes here as well

>>283194596
Saying that it's shit is very rude ainon! It actually got a lot better, you know.
It's not bad. But it really seems like the people making it would've rather made another Symphogear.

>>283194583
Those are all Pierrot.
Minky Momo was never part of the Pierrot mahou shoujo, so you might be confusing with that.
It definitely inspired them (and had a short collab with Creamy Mami), but it was made by Ashi Production from the start.

>>283194784
Thanks cute and helpful ainon, I definitely was getting that confused, it was totally grouped right there with the others in my mind.

I still love how this was actually real.

>>283194596
>I should really finish another Jewelpet.
Which one did you see already?

>>283194683
It's shit. I'm being complacent because I kind of understand the kind of problems they're facing and that the new opening is really cool. But they need to solve their main cast or figuring out why they aren't working properly because the 2 only episodes are completely unrelated to them (One of them was the fucking >boys).
That said, I want to do standing missionary with Minamo.
>>283194953
Finished Sunshine and Happiness.
I'm pretty much at half of Twinkle, and a bit bellow that in Lady and Magical Change.

Kawaii suicidal english Ninja.

>>283194654
>it simply got its own threads
Yeah, that's basically it.
I also think not a lot of ainons are watching and liking it enough anyway, it barely gets mentioned despite airing right before AiPri, while Puniru would get many mentions despite having its own thread.

>>283195137
Puniru taps into a Pripara kind of appeal, but it also has more lolicons and CGDCTfags watching in general (aka even tourists that don't typically watch kid's shows).

>>283195036
Meh, I'd say that shit is too harsh. The fights are often good, the treatment of the side characters is fantastic and miles better than most other similar shows in the last five years and the music is very good. I'd say that the plot is maybe the weakest point, but it's not unreasonably bad.
It's not fantastic by any means, but it's enjoyable in different ways from other airing little girl shows. Still, I am not too fond of these discussions over quality, given that my favorite /ai/ show is almost universally panned here...

>>283195036
>they need to solve their main cast
I find Ripple and Meteor (and Nacchi) really endearing personally, but considering how much of the show is just the girls bantering with each other I can understand bouncing off the show if the main girls don't click with you.

>>283195137
I can obviously speak for only my own posting habits, but I personally post and livewatch Princession in the dedicated thread. Ditto for Puniru (when it was airing).

>>283195263
Don't take my harsh words too seriously. They are relative to my mood. If you ever see me talking about Pokemon HZ though...
>>283195137
It's kinda rewarding at times. Like PriOke episode 25 plot being followed by Ring singing Future Princess right later in harmony. I think I said it before that AiPri feels better watching raw, but PriOke airing before kind of help to sustain the experience in AiPri more than the reverse. So I'm kinda enjoying it so far.
The problem is that I need to rewatch those subbed later because I'm streaming it to some friends. And the problems arise once I get to revise how badly executed everything is in there.

>>283195106
I would say that it's nice that they (somehow?) got a large wave of art inspired from the new movie, but they consistently get a ton anyways.

>>283195452
>If you ever see me talking about Pokemon HZ though
i lost the energy to keep watching it weekly like 40 episodes ago

>>283195036
The problem with princession is that it has only a single hack LN author writing the script every single episode. There's no reprieve from teatime because he has no experience writing for a visual medium and can't conceive of characters actually DOING things instead of just sitting around a table talking.

>>283195481
Yeah, in hindsight them getting a solo live wasn't undeserved with how popular they are.

>>283197874

I bet that she laughs at adult men who like PriPara

>>283198313
It's okay, ainon likes that kind of thing.

>>283198263
to be fair she’s completely right for doubting himari
no one else could figure out if himari was schizo or not until the end too everything around moogs was too crazy to believe

>>283198313
I think she's among the characters who are least likely to do that, especially given she says she's 660,012 years old. She'd probably say demons don't see age.

>>283197874
I'm serious about the S1 sidles deserving another episode, I think enough has changed that they could revisit them and have plenty of interesting new interactions.

This happened to joseimuke in general. Like very little shoujo was getting adapted (into anime rather than live action) for almost a decade until they realized they were completely missing a thirsty target audience. I'm still salty about some really good Nakayoshi/Ribon manga that fell into that time.

ainon was more shocked by Ichika actually being into a guy than by Nagisa feeling netorilu'd and wanting to become very good friends with her.
Such is AiPri.

saw non in my dream she was just kinda there as a minor character

>>283210067
Reona!

>Who!?
me

>>283210234
...was Sion the main character?

>>283210366
Probably Moogs (plushie ver)

>>283210383
no non was the only pretty character in there

>>283211008
Non is the cutest but other characters aren't ugly next to her or anything

>>283211008
Sorry, I thought you were poyoainon, but poyoainon would never call Sion ugly like that.

cease thjs word twisting nonsense..

ichika wants a dashing prince. ainon would fail to meet her standard.

>>283212083
Let's not act like she has standards, Melpan would settle for the next guy that is nice to her and come up with some strange justification for it afterwards.

>>283212120
Are you sure it had nothing to do with yakumo being a pretty boy genius from a rich family?

Nonsuke is just like ainon.

>>283212201
i'll come back once she's older and settling on a guy with a job

Little girls will see this and go absolutely insane.

>>283212272
Short?

Next thread will be kowaii.

>>283212272
But I don't think Laala is a slut...

>>283212764
my favorite time of the year

Since she sees everything that happens in the AiPriVerse, Mugi has likely seen many terrible acts of nakayoshi that defy understanding.

Mugi is watching you.

>>283213360
I wanna nakayoshi Subaru

>>283213421
We know, SubaStar.

>>283213592
slut

>>283213619
Rude and untrue, Reona is a pure and perfectly chaste maiden.

>>283213592
Imagine the nakayoshi...
