Some new CG art!

Folks on discord are saying that the Kyoko one at the end made an appearance in her 2022 event. That’s very interesting! I think it’d be pretty neat if events got updates like this when they’re rerun.

A Share of Friendship

Obtainability: Limited to the “Valentines Message” event gacha. 

Single Effect: Defense Up [15%] & Damage Cut [10%] & Attack Down (Self) [20%]

MLB Effect: Defense Up [22.5%] & Damage Cut [15%] & Attack Down (Self) [20%]

Effect Definitions:

Defense Up increases the target’s base defense stats. Defense Up is generally worse than Damage Cut.

Damage Cut reduces the damage from incoming attacks onto the equipped character, and its effects are calculated after buffs/debuffs are considered. Damage Cut is generally better than Defense Up.

Attack Down is a Debuff that will decrease the target’s base attack.

TLDR: “A Share of Friendship” is useful for S3-tier gameplay in Ranked Mirrors. It’s possible that memoria like this might become more important in the future, so if you care about Ranked, keep this one. If you don’t, use it as Enhancement Fodder.

Review: “A Share of Friendship” is similar to another memoria in the game:

(4*) “Slowly But Steadily” Attack Down (Self) [25%] & Defense Up [30%] & Damage Cut [25%]

The differences being that “A Share of Friendship” is a three-star memoria and “Slowly But Steadily is a four-star one. Because of their similarities, this memoria will be largely copy+pasted. Blame the game for reusing effects, not me for being lazy.

You might be looking at “A Share of Friendship” and wondering who the hell this memoria could possibly be useful to. You wouldn’t be alone. It’s certainly not useful for the average player.

However, there is a place where this memoria might shine... Ranked Mirrors. Particularly after the March 2023 changes, where longer battles don’t penalize the player.

This means that it was in a player’s best interest to keep a battle going until they reached the ideal number of Doppels, a Charge bonus of 20+, and several connects. The problem with this is that you also don’t want to murder your opponent while doing this, and preferably you also want to survive if your opponent uses Magia/Doppels themselves.

The solution? Equip memoria like this, which give you high defensive capability while cutting down your offensives.

If you’re wondering, the answer is yes: Ranked Mirrors is insane.

The average player isn’t going to care about this though. Unless you’re aiming for S3 to be the top of the top, don’t feel like you need to bust this one out.

It’s possible that this memoria (and memoria like it) could be more important in the future, so for now put this in the Memoria Vault Jail. However, if you really don’t care about Ranked whatsoever and are content to use solo Charge or solo Blast to get your placements, you can treat this one as Enhancement Fodder.

If you choose to use this for Ranked, you’ll want to use Over-Limiters on it to make sure it’s Max-Awakened, especially given its three-star status.

Opus Colors Episode 1 Review: Perception Art Seems Cool

Here’s the review to one of the three animes I am watching this season. My first impressions? I feel like I have to see more to truly understand the story, but it’s not bad so far.

From what I’m seeing, the anime is about Perception art, which is basically AR/VR type art. There is a school dedicated to it, which is where our three main protagonists attend.

I think Perception art is a cool concept in general. The way you can make stuff via AR/VR makes me wonder if it’ll be a thing in the future. However, my gripe is that the animation for the Perception art stuff can be a bit…weird? Like there are floating eggs at times but there are other instances of flowers and a wolf. Though, the little story with the masked boy was super cool and the best usage of perception art so far. If the anime keeps giving that sort of animation, I think this would be okay.

The first protagonist Kazuya Yamanashi is a Perception artist due to his parents’ influence. He stays in touch with his childhood friend Jun, but is distanced from the other one, Takise, who is two years older than him.

The school they attend is divided into two sections, Artists and Graders. Both sides are heavily hostile towards each other and it makes no sense to me. If you’re going to work together in the art industry, wouldn’t it be best to work together? I think that the school is going to be united by the end. Kazuya and Jun are Artists while Takise is a Grader, by the way.

There are a lot of characters that I can’t really keep track of. Hopefully, pairing them together will help me understand who they all are because a large cast from the get go is going to get messy if not done properly. The most jarring thing about the character designs is that all the characters HAVE THE EXACT SAME FACE! Just tweaking the eyes and changing the hair style won’t conceal these eyes of mine. I can see that they all suffer from same face syndrome. Gosh, am I going to be able to remember all these characters?

The voice cast is superb; it’s pretty much the reason why I wanted to watch and review this anime. Even if this anime turns out bad, I will enjoy it for the cast. For now, I can hear Yuma Uchida, Natsuki Hanae (though, he was a bit hard to decipher since his range for cute teen boys varies depending on the appearance), Ryota Ohsaka, Nobuhiko Okamoto and Daisuke Ono so far. I have to hear the others later on to see who they are voiced by. 

The music so far seems generic. Though, the song used in the perception art portion was good. Other than that, the regular BGM are just there—not memorable at all.

For now, I’m probably going to write shorter reviews for this anime because there’s not much I can talk about since I don’t know anything right now. All I know is that the reason Kazuya and Takise had a falling out was due to an accident that caused Kazuya’s parents’ death. Yikes. There’s going to be angst in this anime? I’m never prepared for sudden angst.

BUCK-TICK ヒズミ (Hizumi) - English translation & romaji

"Distortion"

What do I live for?

It won’t go well, this makeup

It’s a tough weekend, isn’t it

My mom’s dreams?

I violated them

I tear off my chest

Lullaby, the blood won’t sto…p

Lap at the mouth of the wound

We’re distorting, this town, me and you

The twilight swing sways

Everyone distorted

is living mysteriously

Look, a window light

My dad’s dreams?

I killed them too

Sunday, with a pattern of rain

Lullaby, goodbye, farewe…ll

Chop it all u…p

We’re distorting, this town, me and you

The traffic light changes to red

Grandpa, grandma

Let us join hands

Don’t bother!

Please leave us alone

Dad, Mom, don’t forget, okay?

I love you so so much

If it’s got to be this way...

I want to become gentle

The next train will go… mad*

*[T/N]　the kanji Sakurai uses in the lyrics is 狂う、”go mad”, even though in the song it sounds like 来る, “to come”, which makes sense in the context of "the next train coming"

+ it has been confirmed by Sakurai that the lyrics depict experiences of a "man with a woman's soul" who wishes to live as feminine (whether it's an euphemism for a transgender woman or a gnc man isn't entirely clear to me, i think it could be both). either way, it seems to express frustration at being unable to get rid of your masculinity completely - x
