We probably don't need regular threads, but the movie is still pretty new and as long as the manga and Light Novel are still being translated we got something to discuss at least.
In other new:

Apparently the movie will get one week limited time cinema release in Japan.

Saniro will have 4 Kaguya themed concerts in VR chat.

A special notebook with illustrations by the staff will be sold for a limited time. It's themed like the movie's epilogue scrapbook.

I think it's a really cool detail that dog girl Otako has actually been a Kaguya/Iro-P fan since the very beginning. She was there during their very first event and she is getting ultra hyped when Iro-P takes off her fox costume and even more hyped in the ray MV when Iroha actually does a dance choreography on stream.
Not to mention crying on kaguya's graduation concert.

Hahaha, you thought we had exhausted all details? Not by a longshot!
Yachiyo's eyes actuallly look like Mount Fuji in several shots in the movie. If you know the tale of the Bamboo Cutter, you know the reference.

>Iroha's comment about Kaguya's marriage proposal not being legal is made in 2030, it's possible that it is legal by 2040.
Very optimistic to believe Japs will legalize gay marriage in 14 years, but it is science-FICTION after all.

If only that booklet wasn't going to be some impossible to get in-store-only item that ends up selling out everywhere anyway.

The acrylic character stands are at least edited full body poses but almost all of the other merch is just lazy screengrabs so far. That image was only half of the purikura-style scene and they had other much better screengrabs they could have taken during the montage that would have made for a better option. I'm convinced that the companies they hire to make these types of generic merch don't really know what people want to see because they always do stuff like this.

Just a shot of tsukuyomi, it isn't unexpected that it would have flying moon themed trains as a mode of transport. I haven't heard anything that connects it as an easter egg to some part of the story.

>it isn't unexpected that it would have flying moon themed trains as a mode of transport
Didn't seem like that was a thing in what we saw of the city at least. They had fish themed blimps tho. Though maybe if you log in you take the space train to Tsukuyomi, but nah login brings you to the torii gate.

Most merch for all series is definitely super lazy
I dont like merch without a use in general. Gimme a book or the OST at high quality or a blu-ray disc, but I dont know why I should buy pins or acrylic stands or nendroids or whatever. It's just garbage that's gonna pile up (kinda like kaguya's stuff in Iroha's appartment)

If they didn't make it a theater exclusive I wouldn't feel so compelled to scan every page and post it. Already in a cold sweat over the bidding wars I'm going to engage in to get one.

Yeah someone's gonna do it. It's absolutely unreasonable to gate content behind something like this. It's not like they don't know the scans will be up day 1, but they have to pretend to care.

Can someone give me a link to the manga raws (or is it available on bookwalker?) and tell me where to get a high quality movie rip or torrent so I can add them to the paste? I don't personally need them but it's something people could find useful.

Even after checking it out I still don't really get it. Seems to be a glorified timer/to-do-list app with music?
But there is a pet/companion feature and they didnt make InuDOGE or Fushi options. They are just plushs you can collect. Are they stupid?

>>4525315
Seems the app got a Miku collab just before this, so apparently Gogh can pull some strings. It's also highly rated which surprises me. So the flow from Miku to CPK is kinda natural. Especially because Iroha is the exact type who would use this kind of app...

From the looks of it, it's a "study with me" game? Seems like you make an avatar and a room to have someone to study with. Similar to those vlogs and study lofi music videos you see on YouTube. I guess if you need help being productive for the next 10 years in trying to build an android body for your wife, this can help?

The 1st vol of the manga isn't out until the 10th, someone will certainly post them when they are up. LN and guidebook are the ones that came out last week.
>>4525320
Minakata Sunao, Takashima Hiromi, Ononaka Akihiro, Yukiko, Sometime, probably a bunch of others that haven't posted about it yet. I probably missed a few obvious ones and I've been looking at it for almost two weeks now and I know I remember a few others had posted but I can't remember who they were. You can bet money that most yuri authors will watch this soon if they haven't already.
>>4525325
It is extremely obvious once you see it. Look at the bottom of her eye and there is a sloped mountain with a white flat top. Then go look up a picture of mt fuji. Sadly fanartists are missing that detail too often and it stands out so much once you know it is supposed to be there.

I just finished MTLing the novel and there’s this part that feels unsettling to me. Is she implying that her father was suicidal / depressed?I wonder what this world looked like to you, Father.
I don't know anything about him. We only spent a few years together, and in my memories, he's always smiling, always putting his heart into helping someone. He never once showed me an angry, sad, or pained expression.
Sometimes I think. For my father, who was too kind, this world must not have been a very pleasant place.
My father died in an accident. But that was just the way the dice had fallen, and in reality… I’d thought about things like that before, but now, no one would ever know the truth. Perhaps my mother knew everything. But whatever she was carrying, she would take it to her grave.
What were you feeling? Why did you go somewhere no one’s words could reach you, leaving Mother and me behind?

They really don't hide how gay this is, picking those lines for the trailer.

Mental illness ia absolutely not alwaya hereditary. That's just a couple of very specific mental illnesses and only at a certain probability.
We know why Iroha was suicidal. She was pushed to her mental limit by her circumstances.

They publish free chapters of almost every manga to their web reader to draw in readers. Looks like 2 and 3 will be pulled down in 2 weeks. It is not guaranteed that 4 and on will be given free chapter period for their release but it isn't impossible.

Wow the only one of that whole list I saw was Sometime.
Also for those who don't recognize mangaka by name like us authists:
>Minakata Sunao = Roll Over and Die
>Takashima Hiromi = Kase-san series
>Ononaka Akihiro = MahoAko (aka trash)
>Yukiko = A Room For Two (Futaribeya)
>Sometime = Hero-san and Former General-san
>Mikami Teren = WataNare

It is literally real life gacha. You buy 1 lottery ticket and get 1 random item. They weight the prizes so the cheap junk makes up the majority of tiers and then the top A tier will be really nice and unique with a near unwinnable % chance. They haven't shown what the prizes are yet so we need to wait a few more days for the sale to start. Imagine you pay for 20 tickets at 770 yen each and get 18 stickers, keychains, can badges, or other junk of mami and mikado, with your best 2 prizes being duplicate stickers of Iroha by herself. Then some otherl ucky person will win an A tier prize buying only 1 ticket which is probably a beautiful newly drawn illustration of Kaguya and Iroha together with in a fancy nice picture frame. Just made up examples of what these end up looking like since they all are managed by the same companies.

That is actually a nice understated design and not terrible value for 2200 yen. I would have considered it if they put the design on a mug instead of a shot glass since I'm not an alcoholic that would be using a shot glass every day.
>>4525474
Sometimes the prizes aren't terrible but generally it is impossible to get the one you are aiming for unless you buy an unreasonable number of tickets. No surprise that they make the A tier prize close to or under 5% win rate and just happen to make the tickets conveniently have the same shipping cost if you buy up to 20 of them (1/.005 = 20). The only upside is most of the time these events don't use unique art so it is easy to avoid.
