>>336564Did you see this recent card? It has the colored stripes in order and everything, it's getting harder for me to defend him from the troonism. Which is a shame because that's not how he started as, he was just a gay guy through Basic! Era. I really like him as a character beyond this so it's very repulsive that there can't be a character who doesn't play into male gender roles without people shoving him into the female box (so much for hating a binary). Arashi's VA also insists "he is not like a sister, he IS a sister".

>>343135Yeah the fandom is full of genderspecials, wich is not surprising considering how most of the enstars cast looks/acts like lol
I don't go out of my way to interact with the online fandom other than following fan translators and fan artists on twitter, sometimes I post fan art of my own. I am lucky enough to have few irl enstars friends who aren't gendies, I find that fans that tend to engage with the jp/cn sides of the fandom tend not to be.
>>336638Twitter enstarries are so hypervigilant when it comes to arashi, it's so obvious and performative. There is utterly no room for other interpretations of his character other than being trans, like I see fan translators who don't use she/her get harassed and people throw shitfits over people not changing arashi's pronouns in old fics where they may have used he/him.
I don't know that much about arashi but I wonder when the attitudes of fans became like this?
tbh it's refreshing to see other enstarries who don't buy into this gender crap here haha
I find it annoying when people unironically project their genderspecial views onto the characters, it feels super reductive when they do it to characters like Shu, because god forbid a flamboyant gay man that enjoys sewing and collects dolls exist without changing his body or his identity.
I love that he can unapologetically express himself even though he was bullied for his unconventional hobbies as a child, he breaks gender roles and there is no shame or hesitation in what he does in pursuit of his artistic vision.
iirc he did feel distress with his body and voice during puberty, but more like he was upset that he'd no longer fit his ideal of beauty which is doll-like androgyny and youthful purity(my man is not right in the head so he finds comfort in dolls and aesthetics but that's what makes him so fascinating to me)
I like to think of him as a character who struggled in his youth and his time at yumenosaki but is currently flourishing and is less mentally ill
To me it doesn't make sense for him to go backwards and embrace gender stereotypes by trooning out.
No. 343187
>>343135>>343150>the fandom is insanely gendie and kinda hyperwokeit sucks because it's the only bishounen franchise that is semi big in the anglosphere. Other bishounen franchises have bad art or are also targeted towards males (like sports manga) or impossible to find any english translations for.
Enstars is so unapologetically pandering towards otaku women. Men get a gazillion waifu animes and games a year and they have dedicated translation communities. I wish western female otakus weren't embarrassed to admit that they like 2D guys. Enstars is the only not-ugly bishounen franchise that has a dedicated english community but they have a stick up in their ass and use it to virtuesignal.
15 years ago western female otakus had no problem with shipping themselves with 2d guys or shipping 2d guys with each other, but you are not allowed to do that anymore because it's
problematic even though that's the entire point of enstars.
It must be a psyop that told women that they aren't allowed to like cute 2d boys. I doubt that these women actually find gendie headcanons attractive but they would rather get browniepoints from internet strangers than they would indulge in powerfantasies.
Sometimes I envy men they have so much media made for their tastes and they don't police each other

No. 343555
>>343551I believe you can only get him through the scout event until they add his card to the memorial shop in a year. Since you're new you'll probably be able to get him quick though. When you unlock infinite lives just start grinding those, they sometimes give dia tickets as a reward and you can also use coins you get from clearing the lives to buy dia tickets in the infinite live shop.
You could also save up your dia and straight up buy a pull. A 10-card pull is 3500 dia, there's quite a few ways to get dia so I don't think you'll have a problem racking them up. Check your achievements every now and then to claim some dia, you can get a shit ton if you haven't checked on it in a couple days.

Does anyone else get late 00's/early 10's vibes from Knights' music? I don't know if it's the instrumentals or what but something about it just reminds me of songs from that era.
Also started reading the old stories on the wayback machine and man does some of this shit have me cackling, why isn't the official translations for this game more fun? I stopped actually reading the story only a few eps in cause of how fucking boring it was listening to either Eichi or Aira babble on about shit.

>>345306The official localization for !! Is painfully still and dry to me too, which is a shame considering how fun the story conceots and characters are. It's especially palpable coming in fromg TWST being my other main mobage, as TWST has a great localization barring some minor warts but I find Enstars to have much more engaging gameplay.
I also just really don't like some of the creative choices made with this localization compared to the ! era fan localizations… Like Hiyori's tic loses a lot in the official IMO.
I've experienced way worse in mobage localizations before, so I'm still grateful for what we have, but man.

Hey nonnies, what's your opinion on a console enstars game? I'd think it would be like idolm@ster and possibly the project diva games. I know this would never happen cause gacha whales are more profitable, but the idea popped up in my mind and thought it was interesting enough to share.

>>347435Sorry nona I got confused lol
>>347371Incoming sperg: I figured the game would be like a more open idolm@ster (shocking I know). Probably produce a whole unit of your choice and raise their stats to perform well in live shows. Not entirely sure how I'd want lives to work but I was thinking having dreamfes be the big events to prepare for. I'd like it to be free roam and be able to run around with your idols and talk to people, I was thinking of the PC having relationship stats with the boys and interacting with them and becoming friends with them would let you date them. Also get close to them via skinship kek (thought of the petting minigame from fates and thought it would be funny).
I'd also want to focus on idol activities other than just lives, like fan meetups, photoshoots (obligatory photo mode), and dramas. I'd imagine these would all have their own minigames and your idol/unit's stats would apply to all idol activities in different ways. Oh yeah, you can also collect and put stupid accessories on the boys for shits and giggles.
Honestly not too sure how I'd like relationships to work cause I feel like doing something like persona social links would be a bit boring, I think it would be funny to piss off a boy you don't like and become an enemy of his lmao. Also don't know what stats they'd have and how that would affect idol activities since Idk what you'd do for some of them. I'd like to hear any ideas nonnies have, this could be fun.

Rinne is such a good character honestly I love everything about his back story to how he handles being an idol now, I think he also has the most interesting dynamics with a variety of characters.

at first I was drawn to them just for their design (that specific combo of red and blue they have is my absolute fave) but their story and dynamic with each other and many of the characters is so good.
It's heavily implied they're ainu, but not explicitly confirmed, right? more reason to like them, I've been fascinated with the culture for a long time. the representation is what it is, but still..

>>378374You don't have to roll for the multiplier cards if you don't want to (I always skip unless its my best boys), but expect to spend some diamonds on more live shows in order to get the event card. I play JP but I assume EN has the same goal with 3.5m as the event card right? So just divide that by the length of the event (8 days in JP) and then aim for that certain amount of points each day. IIRC I used to spend around 900ish diamonds total by the end of the event whenever I skipped the multiplier cards, assuming you don't leave your BP capped all-day. If there's a 100 whistle campaign you can subtract 200 diamonds from that. It sounds like a lot but you could dump 900 diamonds on the banner (20 rolls) and get absolutely nothing besides some 3* boosters.
If you have a new account it'll probably be even cheaper than that since you'll be constantly levelling up

If this collab comes to EN, I'm screwed. I wasn't really a big fan of the outfits for the first Link Click collab nor do I really focus on producing Koga or Mika, so it didn't matter too much to me. I don't know why, but I wasn't expecting Tatsumi to even get a limited card, or at least one for a big collab like this. Maybe I'm just underestimating his popularity since I know there are other TatsumiPs in here. But I just know I'm going to be irresponsible in some way if he does come, nonas… I like everything about the card and outfit this time, not to mention it's my kamioshi!
Also, sorry if this has already been discussed and shouldn't again, but what is it about Enstars that sets off non-Enstarrie nonas? I was looking through the loved media thread, and as soon as someone mentioned Enstars, so many other nonas started infighting about it. Like why? As someone who's played other idol rhythm games like Bandori/Love Live/Project Sekai/Utapri, there really isn't too much of a difference in gameplay for these kinds of mobages. And the 3D models do look better in Enstars than in most of the other games mentioned. People love to cite sameface syndrome, but once again, a lot of these other games in the anime style have the exact same problem. I really just don't understand why a nona can't even mention liking this game or the boys in it without another being rude about it and derailing unrelated threads. Sorry for the autistic rant.

Reviving the thread to ask why is there a bunch of fanart of anzu? And specifically JUST anzu, not yume shit. I'd understand it if she had an actually interesting design like some otome protags, but she isn't, she's just the basic self-insert so I don't get it.
Also does anyone else feel like a basic bitch for mainly liking trickstar

How did nonnies choose who to produce? I’m a newbie and I’m currently reading the unit story thingies but I find all of them charming in some way.

>>441400You just kinda latch onto whatever boy you like the most. Honestly just go with whoever has the hottest boys or personalities you like, it's not like you're forced to pick only one.
Anyway, do nonnies have any clue how to rip the 3D models? It seems everything EXCEPT those have been ripped from the game and it's driving me crazy that I can't figure out where they're stored. Can't ask for help in many places either, cause these types of games always get a community with a stick up their asses going "b-but happyele TOS!!, muh IP theft!!" Shit reminds me of the vocaloid community in some aspects. I know someone must have ripped them somehow because I saw what was definitely the in-game models being used for fucking foot fetish art of all things. If any nonnas have ideas (or even the models, but probs unlikely) I'd love to know.

>>413837>did they finally retcon him being a trannyThey must've done because the game hasn't used a female pronoun for him since I've started playing. It actually makes the trans-truthers look even more like actual schizos to me, like how last week I saw one twitter user comment "give Naru her pronouns back" under the official engstars account kek. These people don't even seem to acknowledge that Japan sees him as a man, nor are they aware that he has ranked in a male character poll before.

>>441690So rude! he's so cute to me with his messy hair and big glasses. He reminds me of my waifu Hanekawa. I always wondered why he's so disliked? i know i am biased because he's my fav, but other characters like Sora and Ibara are way more easily to hate in my opinion.

>>441853I personally dislike everything about him from his design, to his role in the story, to his singing voice, etc. I actually love the other two members in Switch so he's extra grating kek. I'm not sure why others dislike him but for me it was an instant distaste and only got worse as I read the stories.
>Sora and IbaraI love them both kek, maybe our taste are complete opposites.

>>441897Still need to read more story but…
>MitsuruTried finding art of him on pixiv just to use as a picrel but he has so few fans that his tag is all just AIslop shota/barashota porn.
>TomoyaHe is so forgettable kek but I'm about to max level a 5 star I have of him in the upcoming Christmas event to contribute to a member buff so he's on my radar this week.
>IbaraHe is annoying to me because he is mean (kek) but I also have a maxed out 5 star of him that I'm about to use in the event so he's about to become my new favourite.
I really love Nazunyan, and Shinonon is growing on me too since he's poor unlike all the other richkids so he stands out automatically, and also I have a fully uncapped 5 star of him so how bad can he be, really?
I actually used to hate Akehoshi for being too genki and one dimensional so I was hatereading his wiki page for more fuel but then saw these in his trivia page
>He likes to nickname other students, but he doesn't like being called by any nicknames.>He is touchy-feely, but he doesn't seem to really like physical interaction from others.As soon as I read those I was like "what the hell lol?" It contrasted with his genki personality so much that it gave him depth
I'm assuming because his dad died so he doesn't like getting too close? the writers should have emphasised these traits more for drama.
I'll report back my updated hatelist after I read more. Surprisingly Aoba grew on me after learning Shu hates him because he helped sabotage/humiliate Valkyrie during past-fine era, and then Aoba grew more during the Blend cafe shuffle unit event where Aoba had this sort of flippant reaction of "Ah, yeah, Shu still really doesn't like me does he? Ahaa~" it amused me how much he was like
it can't be helped.
