pjsk's first ai generated broadcast!!! can you believe it?❤️😍
okay no i'm genuinely mad. "world crown events!" how about you insert a crown down your ass, kondou😭
genuinely imagine making a focus on mixed sekais and then doing nothing with that because your creatively bankrupt. LMAO. thank goodness i've been playing this stupid ass game less and less.
also no l/n duet and giving akitouya another duet when ankoha is still behind is a choice lol
AI GENERATED LMFAOOOO😭😭😭sekai volume album 4 tho! mafuyu skip Again is funny
world crown events.. whatever bro. god i hope they somehow don't kill mixed events again but like. knowing them... lol.
cant even be mad atp i think ive accepted anhane are perma behind and anhane/akitoya are just contractually obliged to get 1 duet every year now. disappointing but expected now
(specs anon)
yeah ngl trying to reduce key moments from the stories into 20 chapters was always going to be. a Choice (especially since they refuse to consider some mixed events that i'd argue are very "key" stories as such). 1/4 main story is kinda ??? like yeah them taking a part makes sense but also like. it's always the past and never the future with these events LMAO. but hey free crystals! (?)
(also i've seen some tweets saying wl2 wasn't mentioned at all which. lol. lmao, even. "wl2 is filler" accusations are always vindicated atp that it's not even funny)
honestly tho, this makes me wonder more what vs's memories event is even going to be about the most. 😭😭😭 i hope they allude to luka1 at least, i'd argue that's a pretty important event for them!!! but like. all miku focuses are kinda samey and WLs are fine ig? but like. lol. wonder how they'll do 20 chapters for them
also just noticed this from the alts but they removed the "woah" from before the last chorus in step for a crescent which ??? why lol, maybe they found it too awkward for the game size since it's kinda cut down from the actual song where it's a high note kinda? idk😭
i do think the thing with "key" story markers is basically. Does this information come up in an actual unit event? in which case no, so even when stuff like Mizuki NY has some significant backstory... none of that EVER gets mentioned in a future niigo event, so it's not a key story to read
yeah wl events are entirely unmentioned, i do imagine they will be mentioned in the VS one though. i suspect that one will likely condense the journey of the sekais connecting. bc every vs event is kindof literally all about that too lol
the most egregious cut is probably the akito stuff though. genuinely baffling they entirely cut out all of FAWO and overcome one's limits and also don't even mention like any of his character stuff in the unity/rekindle recaps.
the problem with this is that like every single (key story) event should have had a one chapter recap, condensing it into 20 just makes No Sense because they skip whole events and a good few that don't ignore important context. bout's only purpose in this is the ch1-2 taiga thing. it ignores the other chunk of the event where an worries about being abandoned by kohane. walk is also entirely skipped when like.. the least they should have done is go "oh yeah toya mentored under souma" because otherwise who the fuck is souma?
(specs anon)
oh also event broadcast jumpscare LMAO. hon'izumi and yoshioka lock shizuku7 which. did anybody doubt that one lol.
no tanabe is actually funny though. mafuyu7 is obviously happening because it'd be weirder if it didn't but like. LMAO. nakashima is probably for l/n memories and sumi well. she's a common filler guest for these no? so that checks out.
no important info besides connect lives and in-game updates too, it seems, which again makes sense. we just had anni after all.
no niigo AT ALL but yeah i guess they just couldn't book someone. shizuku... unsurprising. nakashima is also sometimes a filler guest too but yeah l/n memories check out. jienaaa!!!
connect lives and ingame updates is bread and butter af lol. as for the older question about covers (i couldn't think of anything and figured i'd just wait until announcement). i think it makes a lot of sense of leoni, but betting on duets at this point feels borderline like a lost cause HAHA. even if they really need it...
as for the other, i think vbs is a decent bet. they'll be busy in december and only have 1 cover for next album no? so good enough. no betting on 3DMV
(specs anon; leaks)
only character at the bottom of alts was airi. none of these characters are out of place for alts though and i think all these alts are fine (i do think an sounds a bit out of breath though… i do like the alt but i did remember noticing it in the sekai version).
honestly? i'm more baffled at the lack of miku alt. she's at the bottom in counts and hasn't had one since may which is kinda bewildering considering she's literally hatsune miku™ lol. saki is also in a similar situation too i think.
not much else to comment for this event's batch… honami's bday cards is nice ig? i'm assuming the event story is literally just scenes from previous events too so like. lol.
i only listened to anhane so far and i liked them, very happy with the song choice too but also i'm an anchan glazer so like. airi also makes sense with the mmj memories thing too. but... yeah. miku... where the hell is she?
saki needs to come back too!!
yeah the event story is legitimately just scenes from (most) events and even main story for 1/4 of it lol. never escaping main story!
its llikeee.. i wouldn't say it's terrible, but i'd probably not recommend it. kinda ignores a lot of the emotional weight/arcs within events. also it makes a few very bizarre skips of entire events (find a way out isn't even mentioned at all!!! nor is overcome one's limits, the event where vbs SIGNS WITH A RECORD LABEL?) and gives some focus to certain plots i. really wouldn't say need the screentime
honami's bday card is cute :)
(specs anon; leaks)
so no skips then! that's fine tbh. liked the comm, and alts check out, too (surprised at shiho tenbin tho even if she did need the alt. was expecting either sympathy or a cover but lol. really liked all the alts! i remember really liking rin in the song and was looking forward to her alt. it didn't disappoint! really happy with all these alts but. saki not getting an alt though, ouch…)
anyways haven't read the event but seems they're actually acknowledging the elephant which i'm glad for. at the same time i think it was extremely obvious they were going to do so LMAO.
also, i liked the idiotic transaction cover! i found the fact meiko's solo lines are mostly the isolated ones(? is that the correct term i forgot lol) to be an interesting choice though (in a positive way!). also this will sound weird but i was honestly expecting a key change, so i'm surprised it seems they're singing it at the og one LOL.
not much to say otherwise lol besides. "oh those memories events are next. nothing to spec LOL" …god characters are about to reach horrible 4* gaps aren't they. honestly after the lim spam? deserved #tbh
thank god no skips honestly leoni needs something after the last 5 billion skips HAHA. next event shihosaki rateup may as well be soft confirmed now though. good to know. alts are also solid but yeah, tenbin shiho wasn't on my radar at all. not complaining... i do hope we get sympathy soon i'll be genuinely disappointed if they somehow skip that of all songs. cant even fathom a why.
IT WAS A BANGER STORY!! LEO/NEED FINALLY WON!! everything ppl have been ASKING FOR and executed well!! thank goodddd. unc still got it they say
i liked idiot transaction too! not much to say, unfamiliar with the original but thought the cover and song were good.
lmao i hadnt even thought of that. Oops. infinite gaps forever
(specs anon)
yeah that lineup checks out (not sure what to think of both shsk probably raising event shop cap at the same time though). also finally an actually ominous event description, l/n please do something i beg you😭😭😭
also ngl i. am at a loss for mafuyu7 now. n25 does need a uscorer but the only option would be… len??? which god no. maybe it's 3 ocs instead? something like kanamizumafu.
that or they do an ena6 and give miku a comm while giving idk luka or rin pu instead?😭 either way, i'm expecting n25 miku comm now, i think.
(did you mean to send two that send roughly the same thing HAHA)
yeah lineup checks out too. shihosaki both raising is probably fine but both gotta be PU next time LOL. shiho kick would make enough sense too though but also if leoni gets yet another kick so god help me. it's a bit much. also, looks like we're surely actually doing stuff now!! leoni's final arc begins ... hopefully this is a banger hona dont disappoint after the last few 😭😭
i've been thinking kanamizumafu for a little bit, it feels fairly likely to me. kanade is maybe the most "eh?" option but i think she still works .. enough, really. i guess the alternative proposed could happen? i'm not betting on len at all though that guy's dead af he's got too many cards total iirc. just doesn't need it. niigo miku commi works well enough
sidenote: i was getting so peeved by the late tweet since i was barely awake and really wanted them to just post it so i could go to bed😭i was about to give up on them before they posted it LOL.
(specs anon; leaks)
heyy! it's been a while haha. i don't think i ever asked you what you thought about the rest of the covers, so i'd like to ask you now!
personally: demon lord was fine i think. i saw a lot of hate towards the len tuning and i kinda get why but weirdly enough i actually liked his high notes at the beginning??? i honestly found him a bit worse on some of his later solo lines. in general i just feel the song isn't really my style though. still, i thought the cover was fine.
ultimate senpai was good imo. i saw some people complaining it wasn't tsukasa focused and. i kinda get it tbh? still, i think the cover was good, miku's tuning was fine too and everything.
hydrangea was weird to me. i did like it, but i found lukas few solo lines to be genuinely bad💀 which is weird because her shared lines in the chorus were fine imo. why did they make her sound so high pitched like omg. besides that my other issue os that this game size is genuinely bad imo😭😭 idk why but something about it just feels genuinely awkward and it bothers me.
and while we're at (pun intended) it, the high difficulty comm "at" was honestly really nice. gives me some weird ethereal/space vibes. also 2:35 game size! high difficulty songs seem to love stealing are the long game sizes from other songs LMAO.
anyways as for cover campaign ranking… i think all of them are honestly on the same level. can't really say i preferred one over the other, probably because i never had a lot of attachment to most of these songs lol. they definitely have grown on me though, both the covers and the original versions.
anyways, time to wait for idiotic transaction (which i am also looking forward to! seems like a fun song to cover imo)
i liked demon lord! cover was enjoyable for me. the 3dmv was so anhane which i really liked HAHA. not a lotttt for me to say otherwise. just a super respectable one i liked
ultimate senpai was like. fine. idk. Just Kinda Fine. could have been worse, could have been better. i definitely didn't like it as much as i would have wanted though lol
hydrangea is kinda just there, it didn't evoke a lot of emotion within me, yeah. luka's solo lines weren't great and it doesn't stick out much aside of being "just there". very neutral
as for at, i'm not normally a fan of boss songs musically (i actually really don't like any of the remixes that were announced during the championship besides rad dogs 💀i feel bad being so negative today oops) but this song is pretty good actually. intense but super fun. love the piano
ranking... abnormality dancin girl (COMMON LEO/NEED W) > demon lord > hydrangea > lemon melon cookie (i just really don't like the song) > ultimate senpai
i think the campaign just didn't land suuper much for me? it's like objectively fine just not much i feel crazy about
hona7 lineup in under 24 hours too!!! kinda crazy to think we're in the ending stretches of the story soon tho so leoni's gotta be dropping a lot esp with the extreme blatant foreshadowing last event
(specs anon)
hi again! details from event check out (rui finally got his cool healer LOL. also ichika 3* was cool… is this the first set where all cards are from the same attribute omg) and i liked both of the covers that leaked (i was so surprised by adg having rin but i think she worked pretty well. l/n was very good too. and mmj lemon melon cookie was nice too)
on a more negative note, i'm a bit disappointed by some of the untraineds and by miku's bfes😭 the untraineds is honestly just how off it looks that there's no background people on a literal convention though so it's mostly nitpicking. miku's bfes, though… i kinda get what they were going for and it's not like i wanted the card to be hyper detailed or anything but. why do they keep zooming in these cards so much lol😭
also the popularity polls… ngl i have. a lot of thoughts. some positive and some negative (why did tsukasa6 make it into top cards again…). this is kinda hypocritical of my part, but i'm rolling my eyes at some toxic solo ena oshis in the quotes going "how dare you call yourself an ena fan and choosing ena5 as your favorite event", but am also baffled at an in tw and cn servers having toyamix1 as an fans' fav event because ???😭
i think it's different though: ena is the focus of ena5 despite mizuki being relevant because well, their arc regarding the secret is very involved with each other. an is a minor character at touyamix1 and a 2* at that, how did that win there at all LMAO😭 still feel a bit hypocritical though.
and like. i kinda get it that ena has a pretty good arc but like. ena fans are the ones that voted??? lol😭 the survey literally asked who was your favorite LMAO. toxic solo oshis gotta toxic solo oshi ig
regardless… hopefully, sekai seeing mixed events being at the top in surveys makes them get the hint people want mixed events back lol. also imagine subtitling your game "world link" wtf💀
LATE i checked this before you sent me it and then fell asleep right when i checked again LOL. umm i don't think it is but i can't immediately recall any others. unfortunately... smooth brained. abnormality dancin' girl was good. they definitely did rin differently here than usual but i'm not a vocaloid person so idk what exactly LOL but it sounds better.
lemon melon cookie is because it leaked earlier actually, because the korean server specifically is doing a simultaneous release LOL. i dont think the song is for me at all though unfortunately
yeah miku bfes is kinda ... there's just not much going on. honestly i think i'd respect it more if it was like, sortof framed in the same way as wxs wl1? think that'd make a nice card with this style. idk its just empty. im more just kinda sad the untrained for the event are like. cameoless or something. like sure airiena match but especially in the context of the story. rui, kohane, and ichika just feel ... there. it's surprising but we actually are not even doing an ensemble event ?!?! it's literally just these 5 + miku (who... probably they could have snuck in as a 2* lol like last year but i guess we're not doing that?)
the popularity polls... so many thoughts too. japan really does have a big recency bias going on LOL. everyone who voted an to have toyamix needs to go IDGAF. stub your foot every day. im glad wtwg got its dues though (deserved) lol. nene... why the fuck is close game offline still there. HAHA.
ena5 stuff is very diff though, like you said. i think the thing is mizuki literally doesn't appear until the last like 3 chapters and her entire thing is that she herself is stuck in her ways. it's ena's actions, thoughts, feelings, earnestness that are the only reason Anything happens in that event. it's still very decisively an ena event, it's just ... not one about art like her other focuses are about LOL. a lot of toxic ena solo oshis are also lowkey just transphobes trying to have a point so.
LMFAO. the subtitle is killing me man i cant believe we're seriously called this. really funny especially with the negative attitude world link incites. now our whole year is soured ! (teasing)
(specs anon)
also ik you said you're kinda giving up on specs (fair enough LMAO), but i feel honami7 is kinda straightforward. since they're 100% raising the event shop cap atp, i'm guessing ichihona pu + a coinflip between meiko, len and shiho for 4*? saki is locked to a 3* i feel, but i can see shiho or meiko both being 2* (not len though, go away for now)
i wouldn't say "given up" entirely but yeah not my priority. i'll probably just only think about the next 2 events at any given point
honami, ichika 4* do seem most likely. especially with ichika shop on anni lol
i think with mafuyu7 lim it might be niigo meiko lim again? which would make me think 3oc leoni and miku shop (she makes a fine 2* option.. slightly less due to the recent vs event but not a bad one anyways i feel like)
then, niigo can be mafuyu, mizuki, meiko? kanaena both are ok shop
(specs anon)
after some thought, while i'm still not that big on these memories events at all, at least they seem to be this year's WL replacements? and since they only last from october to december and are much shorter, at least they'll be gone much sooner. better get rid of the bs from the get go instead of annoucing them at december's broadcast for no reason LMAO. also no limited spam (it seems the gachas will contain past lims though?), and the rewards seem a bit more generous, so there's that? idk the bar is in hell LMAO.
honami7 is like, fine (i like the producer choice!). it does mean that she's getting a 6th single jacket though, which is so…??? girl shiho only has one what the fuck😭 also honami's event shop count is beginning to bother me again as this kinda locks her out of that. maybe they'll put her in like, new year's event shop or something? or whenever they do next mixed event ig.
also, as a correction: only colorfes and bloomfes cards will get animated retroactively! and after that, it's every new set from december onwards i think. they mention they may be open to the possibility of animating past popular sets, but that they're not particularly intending to do so at the moment.
i honestly agree, though, still feels like a lot of budget and well. i expected the methods of animating them to be stingy asf. thankfully, i don't care about animated cards that much (they'll probably end up looking like d4dj's animations in the long run and. lol.)
returning to other news… every cover being full group was expected from the moment i saw they were 3dmvs. pleasantly surprised at an off campaign cover though! but a bit baffled at it being wxs and not mmj… also l/n truly ended this album with one duet. dude. what the fuck man😭 surprised they got abnormality dancin girl though (and also surprised rin is replacing flower and not meiko somehow). i think these covers will be interesting, at least.
yeah they occupy even LESS days. 3 event slots vs the previous 6. we cut them down in half from wl3. i can take that lol it's a lot better. good that the rewards are more generous, idk. kinda funny they had somewhat the original purpose wl1 had of being recap/setup
wait i didnt even think about that yet LOL. honami is never getting that shop. that's so fucking funny. "new year's event shop for honami"... where have i heard that spec before. (lol). sixth jacket is kinda unfortunate but they really dgaf so. not surprised honestly. at least mafuyu hakolim is like a given now.
okay so i was lowkey fed misinfo. i see pjsekai_eng's tweets now. kinda interesting... wonder what they might animate retroactively or like poll folks on. kinda wish they'd just go back and give old 4* costumes instead TBH. i also don't particularly care about animated cards either (especially with what we're looking to be seeing, this leaves me nothing to really care too much about). i think in general prsk has been pushing this little animated stuff recently, with the countdowns and ensekai's little story things and the random stuff on socmed. and honestly. i don't mean to be rude. the artists do a nice job with their work and it's cute stuff. but i definitely think this isn't the best use case of the budget LOL. a lot of these are like, you see it once then forget it entirely.
extra wxs cover is Odd but not complaining here HAHA. glad we're finally free. abnormality dancin girl is kinda funny since everyone ive seen in the last few years was sure it'd be niigo lmao but. No. duets continue to be in hell sad face.
