>>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..
