Previous thread >>4462353

Time for another Heaven Burns Thread, where we get drunk on Ohshima events!

While EN has caught up all the way to the Isuzu event, JP has actually launched its Minori event now. The Powerpro Baseball Collab has come and gone and was actually a substantial upgrade to prior collabs.

EN will get the second Angel Beats collab soon, the only yuri leaning one, so that's a good thing to look forward to. Meanwhile JP has gone without an announcement for the new story chapter for a while, so with it being the end of the year we must be approaching a release date.

In adjacent news, HBR officially launched its stage play, which covers content up to chapter 2 of the main story. It was apparently quite the succees and well received by fans!

Incidentally the EN xitter is finally releasing official translations of the 4komas!

>>4492004 (OP)
Note: I have added the megalink for the game assets to the OP, as well as the mega folder with the two official ASMR audio albums.
If this is news to anyone, WFS released official ASMR for Isuzu and Risa, but to quell all upset, this is yuri friendly content as the character interact with a unnamed seraph member (female). It's actually very character focused stuff that isn't just coomerbait surprisingly.

I just HAVE to repost Ichiko's incestuous gay breakdown from the current Minori event again. I still can't believe that's real.

>>4490181
In regards to the event itself, I actually have some musing myself. There is this whole part that I'm not quite sure how to make sense of. The backstory of how the parents met and eloped is one thing, but they make a big deal about how the mother's side of the family disagreed with that marriage and how they took back the mom's corpse to bury in their graveyard in Hakone. But this actually means the Ohshima sextuplets had living relatives who were also fairly well off (hence why their mom was so sheltered and controlled). This would mean that somehow the Child Protective services did not try to move the sisters to those family members for some reason. Even if the family rejects daughters of a marriage they didn't approve of, it seems extremely spiteful and hard to justify. This really makes the already comically poor and vague living situation of the Ohshimas post parents deaths even more confusing.

Apparently there will be an announcement for main story soon

>HBR officially launched its stage play
The one they did recently was the last performance and they streamed it, so I was able to see it. it was really fun.

>>4492024
Well well, what timing! I really need that new chapter soon.
>they streamed it, so I was able to see it. it was really fun.
I am not too interested in stage plays myself, because it all looks like bad cosplay and is so condensed, but Japan adores this art form for some reason, so good for those who enjoyed it.

The stage play will be released on BluRay next year, but for anyone who missed it, the stream has many reups on bilibili already.

>>4492035
Most people don't use billibilli. It's honestly a terribly designed platform. I also wouldn't even know how to download videos from it to avoid having to use said platform more than necessary.

>>4492038
Yeah I don't like it either. Maybe some anon here knows how to get stuff in 1080p from there for archival purposes.

Wonder how they did the Karen-chan/Karerin switch

>>4492024
>announcement will happen in 11th day of the 13th month
Damn!

>>4492024
>Also new unison style
>And special story event
Any guesses on what the special unison and its tie-in event will be?

>>4492076
>unison
Byakko-Sumomo
>event
Miya cucking simulator set between 5.2 and 5.3

>>4492064
You can stop it with the date jokes already. Your European order is not reflecting the rest of the world.

>>4492076
If the unison is related to the "special story event" our options are pretty limited. The real question is what they mean by that. Is it a story tie-in? That would make sense if the story chapter will happen soon. The stor tie-in with Karerin is something we have been waiting for since 5.2 dropped.
But they alreay blew their Karen unison months ago. So if it was really story-related... you would assume is KareTsuka. But I have given up on figuring out WFS logic.

>>4492053
I haven't watched it, but I assume she just takes off the hood.

So the new SiL song Miss Moon Light is pretty unique. I love the chill and energetic contrast. It's also really cool to have lines from all the 31A VAs in here instead of just Xai and Konomi. It really gives it that jazzy feel where anybody can just contribute.

Something that stands out to me about the live 2D animation is that they clearly used animation tech to make the sprites more dynamic. We got actual lip movements for the singing and everyone feel more alive, both in expressions and movement. I think they already did that in the Vritika event, but it feels even more pronounced here.
Alongside changing the location to an open air concert and having those colored cut-ins of the characters, they really managed to get some new appeal out of the live show, even 30+ iterations into the game. Really cool.

Here's the full version btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1xDQMEaBdo

>>4492145
They have a pretty arbitrary definition for a special story event, for example Miya event was one. So it could be pretty much anyone who can get an event right now.

>>4492230
Right. They call any event written by Maeda a special story event. So it could indeed be anything...
