┊┊┊┊ ➶ ❁۪ ｡˚ ✧＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚·͙*̩̩͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩̥͙　✩　*̩̩̥͙˚̩̥̩̥*̩̩͙‧͙˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊➶ ❁۪ ｡˚ ✧┊┊┊┊ lo

Number 10: "typical anime girl fanservice"

look at him.

Number 9: "eepy"

someone please put a blanket on him :(

Number 8: "unhealthy worklife balance"

he needs water, this is too much not-red-bull.

Number 7: "beverage"

this is also one of my favourite Kuro cards so bonus but yay beverage

Number 6: "why are so many of your favourites from Enstars! era? HAJIMEYO DEATH GAME"

The backstory here is that i really like crossroads and it doesn't make me cry. (i am giving away the amount of time i've been stuck in this stupid franchise lmfao)

OKAY GUYS PUT ON YOUR SERIOUS GLASSES, IT'S TIME FOR THE TOP 5

NUMERO 5: "yes this is my PC's lockscreen"

my mum said he looks polite, i agree.

NUMBERRR 4: "yes it's the bloomed version of the previous card"

fun fact i missed this event on engstars because of assignments and then legit cried and now i've been saving all memorial shop coins for when it comes out because it's one of my favourite Keito cards help

Y'know what they say about the top 3 right? no? me neither

NUM.3: "yes this is a very new card"

the fact it's called "firm dominant" is the funniest thing they could have ever done. The bloomed version is hot too but y'all c'mon observe the man, he's so skibidi rizzler here.

NUMBER 2: "LOOK AT HIM"

When this card came out i legit went UWU out loud, didn't even know that was physically possible but the animation is so cuteeeeeee, also yes I am saving for it on engstars lol

OMG NUMBER 1!!!!: "obvious choice"

Unsullied Flower of Heart, it's so pretty, the outfit, the name symbolism, the him, the ughhhhh so pretty. I love the unbloomed version as well, but this one is supreme. anyways.

that concludes my epic, epic list of epicness.

UPDATE ON THE RECENT SITUATION!!

Please Check Reblogs for Updates!!

Updates below the cut!

Ok, there is currently a whole petition up right now and I strongly urge everyone to sign it IMMEDIATELY! I will link the post here.

(See ENG Translated post here: https://x.com/bluepokkie/status/1875886629518557315?s=46&t=NeslrSMPJwN2KlU4F3An5A )

There is also an ongoing boycott as you are likely already aware of, this means:

No playing the game.

No spending money on the game.

No liking their videos and/or posts.

No buying merchandise from their shops.

Players will need to start unfollowing @/enstars_music and @/ensemble_stars as a whole as well as review bombing them via the AppStore, YouTube, and on Twitter!!

IF THEY BLOCK YOU GET SCREENSHOTS!

Are there any tags fans should be using to help spread the word?

Yes! Here’s the tags below:

#Only_three_in_Akatsuki

#freeibuki

#freeibukifromracism

#Akatsuki3

#Akatsuki

What can players do to spread awareness and get the message out to a wider audience?

We will need to start tagging and sharing posts of proof, petitions, and other information to sources like @/IGN @/GameRant @/AnimeNewsNet and more to get the point across that the fans are not playing, we are DONE.

I will ask that you start tagging content creators who specifically post about the latest anime drama or content!! I don’t care if you tag HeroHei, I know he’s not the best at times but if it works it works. Plus we could use all the coverage we can get.

If YOU have a platform, PLEASE try and make a video or something about this, make it known to a wider audience and get this out there! I don’t care if you put bloody fliers up at your school or university but let’s try everything we can!

Where can we go to find others who support our cause so we can talk and not feel alone?

If you want to join a place where others feel your frustration then please feel free to join my server. We are welcoming all who need a place to stay during this time!

Link is here: https://discord.gg/44WHZfUXH8

Do you have any helpful links for us?

Certainly! I have a few here of accounts to follow and retweet information from!

Will Enstars shut down if we keep this up?

No, I HIGHLY doubt they will close the doors on their biggest cash cow because of this uproar. If anything they will push more banners, events, and collabs to try and gain more attention and money. HoYo never closed their doors with what happened with Sumeru and Natlan, if anything they just kept going and kept bringing in the bank. I feel like the situation will be the same with this. No need to start panicking and saying “oh my gosh the game is legit closing its doors right now!” and making players panic.

I ask that people PLEASE do NOT harass the VAs or people who genuinely adore the characters. Bullying people will get us and our cause NO WHERE if you start hurting people. I understand your frustration, truly, I am just as frustrated. But let us try and unite as a fandom to help this situation come to an end.

AKATSUKI Drama - Not So Happy Elements

For those currently in the dark of what has been happening then I will try my best to explain what is happening….

The unit AKATSUKI, which consists of the members Kanzaki Souma, Hasumi Keito, and Kiryu Kuro…. Now it seems they gained a fourth member, Ibuki Taki… the introduction of the unit, that praises itself on its traditional Japanese image, has taken in an indigenous boy who was originally from Okinawa.

Why is this problematic?

Historically speaking the Japanese were brutal to the people of Okinawa, specifically the Ryukyuan people. According to history, the Okinawans, formerly known as the Ryukyuans, existed as the Ryukyu Kingdom since the 13th century until Meiji Japan forcefully annexed the island nation. Under the Japanese colonial rule and assimilation policy, the Ryukyuans lost their own culture, language, land, and political institutions. Emphasis on the word “forcefully”….

Ok, now explain why else this is problematic?

Certainly! This is an act of “japanizing” the character of Ibuki Taki by making this whole event and story an act of cultural insensitiveness and an utterly offensive move by Happy Elements as not only a company but the moves made by the game’s developers and creators.

How can we bring light to this situation? Is there anything players can do?

Other than sharing this message here on Discord with others along with the links provided we can do a boycott of the game itself.

THIS MEANS NO SPENDING AND/OR PLAYING THE GAME WHATSOEVER FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME!!

No money and/or lack of players can damage them, now while I understand that many of us are Enstars fans and adore our idols let’s try and think of the bigger picture… tackling a situation that is highly offensive and needs to be stopped.

What else can be done?

If you want to go the extra mile, while I don’t expect anyone to do so, petitions can be made… this situation needs to be made known widespread. If you have the guts to do so, send this to gaming news outlets and let it be known. Spread the word, gain attention. Do something. While I don’t expect this, I hope somehow this topic reaches more people…

How has this already affected Happy Elements?

Fans from Japan and globally have expressed hatred for this recent event and have review bombed the tweets on Twitter (X). Any and all posts made by Ensemble Stars JP have been given hate posts, same is happening to some posts on the EN page. Ensemble Stars is receiving a massive amount of backlash for their actions and it is quite entertaining to see.

What are some helpful links?

The Voice Actors

The voice actors have ZERO say in what happens to their characters, it’s is far beyond their power to say they want their character to have an entirely different story than what was given originally. With the upcoming stream featuring the AKATSUKI cast I ask that NO ONE harasses the voice actors as they are innocent in this mess.

Ibuki… my boi, we will save you, sweetie!

Ibuki, blink twice if you are in danger! Oh! HE DID! FOLKS, HE IS IN DANGER!!

I ask that people PLEASE share this post and reblog it!!

happy new year (it doesn't look like a new year card but i can say that it is)

for mythos enstars zine

[genlirema]

In light of the recent Akatsuki story remember that none of the seiyuus/voice actors nor the characters are at fault. Also remember to take some time off from the game and/or leave it entirely if it becomes too stressful for you, and voice your concerns to Happy Elements via email if you can. Here’s a helpful guide to do so.
