I don't remember the exact numbers but previous boxes sold very few.
I got lucky and found a seeder on the first episode of DMF so I was able to watch it. While the new protagonists seem nice and I loved seeing MARs and Callings three years later, I have some mixed feelings about the sheer necessity of keeping it in the same continuity since I thought Aurora Dream wrapped up perfectly. I'll avoid passing judgment until I can watch the whole thingin a million years after the last cour gets subbed and someone creates a batchthough.
>>143924756
Not surprising, BD boxes rarely sell that well, except for very popular series. The Kinpri hype will probably help RL sell more than the AD or DMF, but expecting anything near 8k is unrealistic.
>>143924759
That might've been me, though I'm not sure my upload speed is that fast.
I found the episodes on my hard drive so I'll seed them all if you want, although it might be slow like I mentioned last thread.

This looks fun.
Chara design looks nice and isn't massively pandering, no stuff like cleavage cutouts. Their clothes are really cute. The show's concept seems nice too.If there was boys i'd be even better.
I honestly think this is how the idol industry could evolve too. If there's a VR system like that there's definitely tons of weaboos around the world who'll use it.and it'll be horrible

The coloring books came in today, but the mail person didn't make any effort to try to find someone to sign for it.

Are you even sure they knocked the door? what if they got the adress wrong or didn't see any lights on your windows and assumed no one was at your house.

No problem, honest mistake. We can wait. Thank you for everything you do.
>>143930449
What the hell is with mailmen these days, they don't bother coming to the door, they just leave a notice in the mailbox. I haven't had anything delivered to my house in two years, I had to go to the post office to get my stuff.
>>143931109
I got a failed delivery post card in the mail telling me I can pick it up Monday at 9am so the address wasn't wrong, and my vehicle is in the driveway with the blinds open in the house. I'm pretty sure they were just trying to quickly finish their job and get home. According to the tracking, the attempt to deliver it was 5 minutes after the PO closes.
>>143930449
Oh well
Ill be sure to check /ai/ on monday so I can clean those scans then
>>143931276
Same here. Though I do get stuff delivered from time to time. Around 1/3 chance.
Sorry in advance if some of you know mail people, but a lot of them are lazy bums who don't do their job properly.
They say it's because my suburb is "dangerous" and they're scared of staying too long, but in the rare case I read discussions in my original language, I also found people complaining about it, despite living in towns popular for being "safe".

Sales for the previous boxes were pretty atrocious for normal sales numbers, but for kids shows they were better than all the stuff that doesn't even rank I guess. It wasn't Aikatsu numbers (and Aikatsu sells pretty badly compared to normal more popular late night stuff).
>>143924847
Yeah, RL will sell more than the other ones did (I think they only sold like ~800 copies for AD and like ~250 for DMF off the top of my head).
You're still looking at maybe ~2k though if we're lucky, it's probably not going to go over that and might end up selling <1k.

I want to marry Aira so much.
Dear /ai/:
I, like many of you, suffer from problems. My problems don't involve any of your implausible ones, but mine are worth voicing to you in hope of getting some advice. Anyways, I began to watch Aikatsu about four years ago, and as I dove deeper and deeper into the series, the more and more I fapped to lewds of it. I continued to do so until the last episode. Then I watched the series again...and again... and again... I found myself checking out Ichigo every on-screen moment she had. I began to stop going to my regular sites just to look at lewds of one person: Ichigo. I eventually had 1000s of pictures and some doujins of Ichigo. I began to spend what others called absurd amounts of money on merchandise, and my apartment is coated with Ichigo everywhere. I've shut myself off from family and friends and felt an urge to just snuggle with my Ichigo dolls. Ichigo is all I need. She probably wouldn't like the way my family is or how my friends behave. I'm in love with Ichigo. I keep praying that she'll come to see me one day and decide to live with me. I have nothing left to live for but Ichigo. I know she can hear me, so I always talk to her telling her to come and visit me so our union can take place. So this is where you guys come into the picture. You're an all-purpose advice board. You definitely must know a way to help Ichigo break free from behind her glass prison. Please help! She's my perfect girl, and she's longing for me as much as I long for her.

I know she probably meant in a "become an S4 like Yozora" kind of way, but Yume and Rola were a lot more specific about it.
>>143940987
Don't use that word.
No, Koharu specifically wants to be praised by and become more like Yozora. Yume is similar to her in how she admires Hime, but Laura hasn't shown a similar affinity. These are all ways of reaching the top as an idol.

"I don't need silly pieces of paper. I'll make my wish come true on my own."-Mahiru
wew lads, why is she so edgy?
>>143942195
Are you the same guy as Thursday? Explain in your own words why this is "edgy".
>>143942195
And Koharu and Laura thinks she's cool. Well what did I expect from middle schoolers anyway. They like edgy shit thinking it's cool.
>>143942148
>>143942245
She's being haughty. Honestly Yume was being nice to her and giving her a piece of paper. Instead of kindly declining she says "Dare?" like I don't give a fuck about anyone so who are you and how dare you talk to me.
Secondly, she is being all gloomy like she's misundestood and all that. I really hate characters like this.
And she really didn't need to make fun of Yume of friends and everyone writing papers by calling them silly just because she doesn't need them.
She wants to them she's so cool that's why she's on edge.
>>143942392
>"Dare?"
I would also refuse something from someone I have never seen before.
>she is being all gloomy like she's misundestood and all that.
Damn anon, is like you just watched that scene and closed the video, because it's like you didn't watched the episode at all.
>>143942486
Well I yes I just watched that scene and it triggered me. Her attitude is that of "I don't need anyone and no one understands me".
Yes you can ask someone "who are you" if you never met them before but sayind "dare?" sounds pretty rude.
>>143942274
I was too slow.
>>143942392
You misunderstood everything, good job. I swear, how do you even live when all you can see in others are your own projections of cynicism? Mahiru was speaking only for herself, not talking down on the others. And if you were actually paying attention you'd have noticed that Laura also didn't write a wish, she wrote her goal. In a school where the entire purpose is to work hard and achieve great things, you're better off spending even a minute more training.
>>143942625
There wasn't even a hint of "nobody understands me" in there.
>>143942274
>>143942625
>Her attitude is that of "I don't need anyone and no one understands me".
It sounds more like projecting from you than what Mahiru was actually saying, she was just saying she believes enough in her own skills that she doesn't want to wish for things because she will do them.
>Yes you can ask someone "who are you" if you never met them before but sayind "dare?" sounds pretty rude.
That's true, but nothing wrong with it.
>>143942692
>Laura also didn't write a wish, she wrote her goal
Now you're being just too literal to defend you precious Mahiru. Like having a wish and making it your goal isn't Aikatsu. Also Mahiru really could have come out nicer than this. Her tone is really haughty.
They're a diffrence in sayind "Oh but I don't believe in writing my wishes on paper because I will make them come true on my own" in a happy hopefull tone than saying "I dont need SILLY pieces of paper" with that gloomy shitty faced monotone of hers. The second line has pejorative adjectives while the first doesn't sound as arrogant.
Tip of understanding: Wording and tones matter.
>There wasn't even a hint of "nobody understands me" in there.
Oh please, like her character is so unique that you can't predict anything about how she is thinking.
Koharu > Mahiru.
>>143942984
If I knew a person like you would misunderstand so hard I would have just kept the line I originally had.

Subaru is only regularly interested in Yume, partly due to the coincidences that keep bringing them together. But it was the movie that got Nozomu aiming for her. When you put a boy and girl together in parts like that, and even have them marry, the time they spend together practicing can easily turn into something more. Yume still only cares about Hime-senpai though.

You should get over yourself and see that it's getting better every episode. And also read the credits more closely.
>>143944901
Improving yourself each day is nothing but one of the steps in order to attain victory because that alone won't give you the victory, at the end of the day, if you can't use your skills to crush your opponent then it's useless to try to soar to greater heights.

Also Lua deserved more years of stardom.
>>143944997
It may be getting better, but it is still two years behind what Aikatsu ended with.
>>143945172
I don't rely on other people to decide when and why I can be happy. Victory can be obtained with open hands far more often than it can be with clenched fists.
>>143945663
It's at best only better than very early Aikatsu, so more like three years behind at least.
What's the consensus on Stars 14 episodes in?
>>143945915
It's very much about where S2 Aikatsu was. Honestly the only thing still not up to par is the facial expressions, and that's the hardest part.
>>143945937
Better than Aikatsu in every aspect except the CG.
>>143945937
It's a lot better than my initial impressions of it, all the girls are great, and it's had some very Aikatsu episodes. That said, I'm worried about the direction it might be going on based on the end of 13.
>>143945915
Nah, it's ages better than all of S1 Aikatsu, especially as of this episode. Two year and a half behind at the very most.
>>143945937
Good watch/10. Feels like Aikatsu with a few differences in some aspects.
>>143945937
i'm still not fully on board but i do find myself enjoying it more than i did in the beginning

Good to know.
>>143945885
Who's talking about happiness? I crush my opponent because it's fun, and yeah, you're right, there are a ton of ways to attain victory, but this one is my favorite one.
>>143945937
I like it better than the original, but I can't call it better because the best part of Aikatsu's first season was in it's second half, so until the second half of Stars' first season ends I can't really make a final veredict.

Pretty much this.

If only two are participating, I'll have to ask them to sing two parts you know.
But come on nerds, you said you wanted an /ai/ sings, here's your chance to start your AI-KATSU.

Yeah but I didn't want to sing episode solo.

It's really good, enough similarities with Aikatsu that everything that made Aikatsu so good is still there, with enough differences to make it feel fresh. If I were to compare it to Aikatsu seasons I'd say its better than 2-4 but still has a long way to go to be as good as 1, though there's plenty of time left for that to change.

Have everyone sing everything, then you can cut out the lines you want. There's no reason to choose before you go.
>>143949464
what did you want to sing then?
>>143949138
this part always makes me hard
What are these?

The yurika one feels like I heard in atari game before
this one feels like the Alladin them song

So there I am catching up on new anime, and this character walks in speaking really quietly. I figure she'll just be voiced by someone I don't recognize. But then in a single line, 14 episodes worth of familiarity flow through my mind. I think fans of our very own bespectacled idol will enjoy this show.
>>143950056
so who is she?
>>143943402
like this?
>>143950137
yes!
I mightly love all of you, /ai/
>>143950056
Best girl right there, though I don't watch the show.
