#Princession Orchestra

[spectralreplica]

It's the (past couple) year(s) of the magical girl!!!!! So happy that we've gotten so many new magical girl properties that aren't just remakes, Madoka-likes, and Precure (DISCLAIMER: I love most of those too!!! I just crave variety...)

Just me talking about these series under the cut:

I LOVE Magilumiere's framing of magical girls as a profession including the nitty gritty details of job searching and corporate events. I buy all the manga volumes as they come out and can't wait for season 2! (Manga spoilers: the OG Magilumi uniform is cute, but I LOVE the V2!!!)

Acro Trip is very endearing and the VAs give 110% even though the actual animation is a little limited... I'd love season 2, but I very much doubt it'll happen... I'll probably pick up the untranslated manga since it's only 5 vols.

Magical Girl Dandelion is SO PRETTY!!!! Love the dynamic of Tanpopo and Shade, esp. since I think the author confirmed it will NOT be romantic? Always interested to see more non-romance-centric shojo. The horror vibe is fun! Love when mg stuff can get a little dark without going full edgelord and losing the soul of the original concept of the genre... Waiting to see if there'll be a physical release since it's about at a volume's length now.

Princession Orchestra looks cool so far, although I have no idea what kind of tone they'll shoot for. There's kids toys, so maybe more Precure than Symphogear, but who knows? I was wondering how the unique shading style of the promo art would be translated to the actual show, and it turns out the answer is..... it's not!!! The actual designs (still very sharp imo!) are just kind of a normal anime style.

And finally, Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want to be a Magical Girl by @kianamaiart! The concept of using magical girlhood to look at burnout and the pressure to keep at something due to "talent" is interesting to me. Maybe a little bit of a Shattered Starlight vibe?? Anyway. The artstyle is REALLY cute, and even just from what's been posted so far I love the character dynamics! Looking forward to the pilot and whatever may come after!

The Princession Orchestra stream was earlier and there was quite a bit of info given (and with it, the official site got an overhaul)

First off, it will start airing in April on Sunday mornings

A new trailer was shown, which reveals the antagonist group and plays the opening theme

Nabiyu's voice actor was revealed to be Hiro Shimono

The enemy group, Band Snatch (name based on "bandersnatch") was shown

(I am making up spellings for now, if they show official ones later, I will correct them)

Callisto (CV: Chiaki Kobayashi)

Guita (CV: Shouya Chiba)

Bas (CV: Junya Enoki)

Drun (CV: Shunsuke Takeuchi)

Guita, Bas, and Drun's names are taken from guitar, bass, and drum. I guess Callisto's name could be taken from the guitar? Edit: Okay yeah, his name is more likely taken from "vocalist" (ボーカリスト)

The opening theme is titled "Zettai Utahime Sengen!" and is performed by Orcheria (a group made up of the three Princesses). The lyrics and composition are by Noriyasu Agematsu and it is arranged by Daisuke Kikuta. It says distribution starts January 17 at midnight

And finally toys:

Jewel Bells for the three Princesses, Princess costumes, Millefi Charm Shot, Nabiyu pouch, and plushes of the characters

You know what I find funny now that we have the official trademark for the next Precure season? There are going to be 3 music themed anime targeted towards little girls airing in Japan in 2025: Himitsu no Aipri season 2, Princession Orchestra, and now You and Idol Precure. There’s about to be a lot of competition in 2025.

[mahou-furbies]

Ah Princession Orchestra has character profiles on the website! Let's see...

...ohhh

Oh no!!!

"Theme colour: yellow"

You will be a green mahou in my heart Nagase...

i was like "lol why is one of the villains from Princession Orchestra literally just Raifort's goth brother" and as it turns out the answer is "because Mari Shimazaki is doing the character designs"

[magicalgirlypop]

so many idol magical girl shows coming out next year. you and idol precure, princession orchestra, maebashi witches.. 2025 is gonna be full of banger music

[gustaboy72]

Typically when magical girl works start with a trio, they mostly use CMY color models or something close to that (see: most precure trio seasons, flowering heart, balala ocean magic, angel's friends, lolirock, madoka even has homura as the K!)

Princession Orchestra uses the RGB model instead, which I haven't seen any other works (that i'm aware of) do.
