The illuminated city is twinkling and it is long past my curfew but
A little more, just a little more, tonight the mood stretches out before me

Sweet anons and a new season, my night couldn't be any more perfect
And rather than the punishment and tomorrow's excuse, I want to dance to the sound of my favorite /ai/- Idle Activities

Keep on looking at me, my mommy doesn't know about my idle mode
Being "cute" isn't enough, if you're not greedy too

Of course, I'm not talking about myself. But the majority of people here don't actually have even the basic knowledge of the language, like they can't even read kana or understand basic structures. Sometimes it's laziness, but sometimes it's due to a lack of motivation, and if many /ai/dles decided to learn together I think it would motivate them enough!

Well at least with the spoken side of things, all I'd really need to do is increase my knowledge of words a bit and I'd be good at least with little girl shows. As it is I can follow along with the Aikatsu livestreams without too much issue, although that's only understanding every 2nd word or sentence here and there.

I'd personally prefer though to get a grasp on the language as a whole. Right from the start with memorising the Hiragana tables and all that stuff.

>>139286913
Having taken college classes and becoming somewhat fluent, the first thing you do is never force yourself to learn the alphabet without context. Once you have a basic understanding of words and grammar do you learn kana, and it's easier because you now have context for what each word means. It's also more fun to be able to read and immediately understand what you're seeing. You guys, like me, already have plenty of vocabulary just from anime; it's the grammar that's most important from here on in.

Well done, anon.

And with that, the second coloring project is done. There was more digital coloring than I would have liked, but it feels like this one was a little bit more higher quality than the last. We also had backgrounds on every square!

As requested, here's a link to the full size file. More than half of the images had to be stretched to reach the size of the original squares so the quality went down a bit. https://mega.nz/#!LlwRzLDZ!ZF_UvtH5mYUfHYSVRA9qj74oHabvZLkDLeb9A9D4kq0

>Indeed, it feels so natural now, I just hope S2 doesn't turn out to be the highest point of PP.
When I said PP isn't even trying that wasn't a compliment sadly.
I meant how the franchise is "winning" against Aikatsu while it has the laziest and wasted potentialest anime I saw in a long while. It's probably mainly thanks to the arcade game.

PPs2 is good but could have been infinitly better if not for the staff always taking shortcuts and the easiest route to write the characters.

Aikatsu s1 is definitely better than PP, s2 included. Can't speak about the other seasons of Aikatsu though, didn't see them.

I'm kind of sad about all the anons here who can't watch PP s2 because of lack of subs and talk about it like a great anime, because you'll get a huge reality check if it ever gets subbed.
Unless you don't care about dozens of plotholes and plot idiocy. And I don't mean the characters of PP being idiots, beacuse I know some people enjoy that. I mean the bad kind of idiocy.

It's no big deal, if you want to participate, please do so! I don't mind a few digital coloring squares, and ultimately I would rather everyone have fun together and if digital coloring is the only way that you can join in, it's perfectly fine.

The digital coloring in this one is great, the only reason I say try to do it physically so we don't get squares like this. I don't want to reject squares, but at the same time I don't want to put something that took one anon 4 minutes next to one another anon spent 4 hours on.

As someone who watched all of Pripara so far and understands it, I don't think it's being overrated but it feels like that because Aikatsu S3 and S4 were really really stale while Pripara saw a huge increase in quality from S1 to S2. It's like when you expect nothing and suddenly you get a pretty good result. And it's not that >>139291243 is wrong about plotholes and stupidity, but I don't think those were a problem to the overall enjoyment of anyone who knew what to expect. Every single little girl anime has undeveloped plotlines and stupid plot decisions. Aikatsu S1/S2 had less of it, sure, but the appeal of Pripara was never how seriously it took its plot.

Fuck, I think that was kind of redundant but I don't know how to elaborate better.

I've also understood and watched it but I still don't think it's anywhere near as good as people are making it out to be. People are making it sound like S2 was the best thing since sliced bread. The first half was still boring and even once it picked up, although it got a lot better it never reached this pinnacle of being the greatest thing ever people are making it out to be. It definitely improved and is definitely good, but nowhere near as amazing as people are making it out to be.

Also I think S2 will probably be the high point, this is PP after all. We're in for another year of catchphrases: the anime: the experience after this.

I just loved every single character interaction in S2. Hibiki dealing with everyone was such a treat, from the "rivalry" with Mirei, to adapting to Mikan's gluttony, and then Dorothy making fun of the Maho-chan nickname. Aromagedon's interaction with Garuru, Faruru and Hibiki's relationship, Ajimi and Hibiki's backstory, Sophy and Shion inside Celepara, Meganii's fall and rise in Chikapara. Not to mention the humor was top notch, the performances were always at least pretty good, and Aromagedon is the best duo to ever grace any idol anime.

>>139292661
It's nothing to do with the lead in, it's just plain good. Hibiki as a righteous antagonist and the back and forth game of idols on the two sides of genius vs effort turns over the usually well defined lines drawn between protagonist and antagonist, especially since who's on which side keeps on changing. Fuwari and Ajimi were used to great effect in this plot, and Mirei's failure and despair followed by her subsequent rise to the top were well developed and satisfying. Plus, the entire plot has underlying themes of the real argument created between PR and PP supporters, and has just enough meta without it being overbearing or too subtle. The performance fights themselves were alright, but PriPara shines in the offstage and training scenes. Plus, sidles get their fair share of screentime and lines, even with the large number of them. Everyone with a gobi ever was off torturing Hibiki in the elevator last episode, and all voiced.
>>
>>139292359
I don't want to sound arrogant but I knew exactly what to expect when getting into PP. Especially since we're talking about s2 here, and s1 already showed us how no plot no development catchphrases only things can get.
>Every single little girl anime has undeveloped plotlines and stupid plot decisions,
I disagree, and I think it's the reason why a lot of people watch japanese kids oriented cartoons but not other cartoons from other countries, as they generally have more plotholes and a "we don't care because it's for kids" attitude. We even already had that discussion once here with some anons talking about how Winx Club's plot dwindled across it's seasons.

But even assuming this is true and taking it into account, in my opinion, PP s2 in multiple occasions crossed the point where I'm sure even a little girl coud tell something was wrong.

I don't think it's the greatest thing ever or even close it. My apologies if my praising for it made it sound like that. In fact, I don't think it's better than Aikatsu S1 or Rainbow Live.

But I do think it's the more entertaining /ai/ show right now, and also that many anons are missing a really entertaining story by not getting subs. Moreover, the fact that it improved so much and so consistently tells me that the staff learned their lesson and that gives me hopes for S3.

Japanese kids oriented cartoons definitely have less plotholes and do care more about their plots than other countries' cartoons, but it's incorrect to say there's no dwindling or random dropping of plotlines. Some Precure seasons, for instance, suffer a lot from it (HappinessCharge comes to mind, but if you have watched it I'm sure we can agree HaCha was way worse than the average Precure season. Maybe a better example is Aikatsu forgetting about the existence of its own characters).

This is an intrinsic trait of little girl anime because of the way they are planned. Most episodes have to feel 'standalone' in a way so that kids who don't watch every week and parents who sometimes watch it with them also feel entertained and not completely lost. While in Japan they try to keep more continuity than other countries' animation, that's still something present in these anime and it's why some plotlines never go further.

>PP s2 in multiple occasions crossed the point where I'm sure even a little girl coud tell something was wrong.
I don't disagree. But I don't think there was anything wrong with that as long as it kept being entertaining, which it did. Pripara is a humongous success with little girls and I think that just proves the point.

Again, I'm not saying Pripara S2 was perfect or even an amazing masterpiece of an anime. It was just so much better than every other currently airing series and showed so much improvement over S1 that the praise for it sounded a little exaggerated. I'm glad most of us who watched it enjoyed it and I'm really hoping they can keep it up next season.
>>
>>139293497
>Aikatsu forgetting about the existence of its own characters
Among other words people use to describe all the anime we love, perhaps one of the most incorrectly used after "irrelevant" is plot hole. There's an important difference between a plot hole, meaning an event that due to its absence or not being explained properly, which is critical to the story making sense, and a loose or dangling plot thread, which simply means a point that was brought up as important but later determined not to be. Four special appeals used to be legendary, but was never said to be the only way to make it to top idol status. Dream Academy once rivaled Starlight, but decided to go independent and not rely on their competition and cooperation. Things continue moving behind the scenes and are sometimes shown in other places like the OP, say like the DreAca world tour, but there isn't any time to show it directly, and that's totally fine.

>she's never fucked up before
Because she's never tried as hard as she had now. Fuck off, it makes her a better character.
>>
>>139292920
The hard work vs genius arc, while it already happened in other anime, was a great idea. It was horribly written though, hence why I keep saying wasted potential.

First off if they really wanted to blurry the lines between protagonist and antagonist like you say, they should have made Laala join the genius team.

Then there's how Mireille was the main character of the arc, and the one in direct opposition with Hibiki's ideals, but only actually got 2-3 episodes focused on her. And one wasn't really her episode but Garuru's.
Plus, one triggers of the hard work vs genius arc was how Mireille felt like she can't keep up with Sophie because she's a "genius". Except that was never brought up before and she had absolutely no problem keeping up with Sophie or Shion for 70 episodes. Mireille was in fact Shion's rival before they forgot about it. See episode 15.

Then there's everyone acting as if it's impossible to be friends and rivals at the same time. But we already discussed that, hence why I always say "everyone in PP is an idiot anyway".

Fuwari and Ajimi played a big role, but there's also a point when both got sent off, for no reason, for a few episodes. Even though they're the two characters with the biggest connection to Hibiki. It's similar to when Fuwari&Hibiki gets first introduced and Hibiki never ever interacts with any other character than Fuwari, the staff took the easy way out.

By making Ajimi Fuwari leave, Hibiki's plot resolution was stalled, and she was made to act like an idiot contradicting herself, with her dictatorship and the whole "no one besides a certain rank can perform". How are you supposed to have rivalry then? There's still the rivalry inside the genius team itself, but do you honestly think that's what Hibiki meant during her glorious speech in 73?

I was really excited about the meta PR vs PP thing, but that went nowhere, at least as of episode 84, haven't seen the climax yet as I said. It definitely wasn't a coincidence, as there was stuff like Hibiki skating in her performance, but I think they bit bigger than what they could chew and just abandoned the idea. In the first place, I don't even feel represented by Hibiki because I let go of PR and wasn't expecting PP to be similar, and I don't want it to turn into PR either. PP could be a better form of what it already is, regardless of whether it gets closer to PR or not.
>>139293497
I agree. I didn't mean that japanese cartoons are flawless either.
If I'm bothering pointing all what irked me about PP s2 it's because I loved it as well. Just like Hibiki I want to fix it.

It's not a bother at all. Your points are valid and I like listening to different opinions. Even though both of us love Pripara, we have different points of view on what's great about it and I think that's fascinating. We're kinda like Laala and Hibiki.

But I'm the Laala and I like it dumb and you're the Hibiki and you're analyzing it objectively to make it better.
>>
>>139294589
Yes, exactly, that's the entire point. In the last episode Hibiki shows she's just as much an idiot as everyone else. The show is telling you that it's not one or the other, it's not us or them, it's just everyone trying to enjoy themselves. But in the end, even when Hibiki got what she wanted in her world without friends, it was just lonely and boring. Hatred only breeds sadness. When Hibiki ultimately ended up looking for a friend in Fuwari, not a "princess" i.e. some perfect ideal girl/anime to put on a pedestal and worship, it was really saying that we, the viewers, just want to be understood and acknowledged. Some people were left feeling isolated and abandoned when Pretty Rhythm ended, without anywhere to let their frustrations but PriPara. They were left alone by the people who moved on and enjoyed both. We can argue over which is better or how to "fix" things to our own personal preference, but in the end we're all just the same bakas looking to make friends and have fun. Don't be so serious, it's just an anime.

Best case scenario:
>Roller is a proper co-protagonist/friendly rival with her own subplots and character development; she feels as important as Yume and the final episode of Stars is a satisfying Yume vs Roller audition

Wasted potential case scenario
>Roller is just another main-ish idle that gets occasional screentime but doesn't appear very much or get that much screentime

/ai/pocalypse scenario:
>Everything that happens in best case scenario EXCEPT there is also a love triangle subplot between bratty male idol, Yume and Roller. Bratty male idol likes Yume, Yume is tsundere for bratty male idol, Roller is deeply in love with bratty male idol and drops her spaghetti around him.

She shouldn't be. She's sexy type idle so she has to be spicy.

I mean that they will have constant matches through the show and improve each other through their rivalry. Then in the final whatever Cup at the end of the show it feels satisfying for the ending to be Yume against Roller. Do you even rivalry, anon?
