Beloved comrades.

Kagerou Project fandom history / KageDaze Recap - #1 Wannyanpuu’s Fan Designs x Outer Science Parallels and etc.

subjects in order of appearances (from left to right): [Jin’s Hibiya initially debuted Sept. 30, 2011, in Kagerou Days.] [some songs were already made/debuted before this.] [Hiyori did not yet have an official design.] [Wannyanpuu’s short haired Hiyori design came first, and was fanmade by them for the KageDaze fan pv.] [* Jin (series creator) then asks Wannyanpuu to join his team.]

a) Wannyanpuu's Hibiya - December 17, 2011 [KageDaze fan pv] b) Jin's Hibiya - Children Record / "Opening Song" for Kagepro [2012] c+d) Wannyanpuu’s short-haired Hiyori fanarts by Wannyanpuu e) Wannyanpuu's short haired bob haircut Hiyori, just around and before “Shirori” appears at the end of Wannyanpuu’s pv. f) Shiro Hiyori = ‘Shirori’ is a fandom name ("Shiro" = 'white') [meaning the white/shadowy hue she has as a ‘Kagerou’ / ‘Heat Haze’] g) Wannyanpuu’s Hibiya+Hiyori as good friends (fanart by Wannyanpuu) h) Jin’s Hibiya+Hiyori as childhood friends [Outer Science pv, towards end] i) Wannyanpuu's Hibiya just before "Kageoru[!Hibiya]" waves "[bye]" [after Hiyori dies by truck, and Hibiya fades to black] j) Jin's Hibiya just before "Saeru" (in the form of Kuro!Konoha) waves "[bye]" [Outer Science, debuted Aug. 31st 2013] [as Hibiya dies by truck/Saeru]

Kagerou(s) and Hibi+Hiyo being friends outside of pv/post-pv:

[^ art by Wannyanpuu, the group/OT4?]

(it was a supposed happy ending post-pv verse, but .... ?) [art by Shidu/Sidu] [* note: Shidu (later Sidu) not much later then created/designed Konoha (+Kuro!Konoha?)]

[^“Kagerou”!Hibiya, waving��“bye”] (from the fan pv)

 (”Saeru” having taken the form of Konoha [Outer Science])

(previously in Children Record/Lost Time Memory known as Kuro!Konoha or simply a “dark!Konoha” by the fandom, [including Japanese fandom, so not just english fandom] before that, then became “Saeru” as we know him now (”Clearing Eyes”) * plot-wise in LTM though he is essentially “Saeru”, we just didn’t know for sure * back then, anyway... also note this is Music Route Lost Time Memory * not novels route, not manga route, not Mekakucity Actors anime route) (also note: the framing and placement of Hibiya’s hand reaching out, above.)

(... yeah)

(Wannyanpuu’s alternative designs for their fan pv/fanmade Hibiya and Hiyori.)

(* these are around from pre-Konoha no Sekai Jijou.) (* note the “14″ and “15″′s) (* also, a long haired Wannyanpuu Hiyori near right.) (* also note the dates of these sketches in regards to debut dates.)

Wannyanpuu went on to design Mary and not much later, Momo. Wannyanpuu also went on to create the pvs/music videos for “Imagination Forest” / “Fantasy Forest” [feb. 03, 2012], “Konoha no Sekai Jijou” / “Konoha’s State of the World” [with Sidu], “Kisaragi Attention” [may 27, 2012], and “Otsukimi Recital” [july 02, 2013, some time later on].

Konoha was initially designed by Sidu as a girl. [note her fandom name is “Beta Konoha”] she was apparently changed to a boy Konoha because they thought Kagepro had too many girls at the time, so it was to balance out the cast. (* note Headphone Actor already existed before this, however!) (hi Actor...) Sidu since went on to create pvs/music videos for: - Konoha’s State of the World [March 30, 2012]

[*Hiyori’s now-official design debuts here.] [* Hibiya begins to sacrifice himself for Hiyori, while Konoha tries to save them / Hibiya particularly.] and...: - Toumei Answer [May 30, 2012] (*movie/art by Wannyanpuu) [* Ayano’s debut, with Shintaro’s design, pre-Mekakushi Trio info] [* from Mekakucity Days album] [in between, “- in a daze” (novel 1) releases the same day.] [* however, translations were lacking for quite a while, along with other novels.] - Children Record [July 31, 2012] (”Opening” for “Kagerou Project”) [in between, “A Headphone Actor” (novel 2) releases on Sept. 29, 2012] - Lost Time Memory [March 29, 2013] (* during this music video, Shintaro selflessly saves Saeru [as “Kuroha”]/Konoha [??] from suicide. Various routes happen here.) - Yobanashi Deceive [Feb. 17, 2013] [* Kano’s pv debuts] [by Sidu] [* he is one of the last main characters to get a pv in this time frame.] [* Fem!Kano as a design / personality also debuts here. (Yes, she is canon.)] then: - Ayano’s Theory of Happiness / Ayano no Koufuku Riron [April 22, 2013] [in between, “The Children Reason” (novel 3) releases on May 30, 2013] - Yuukei Yesterday [Aug. 04, 2013] [in between, “The Missing Children” (novel 4) releases Aug. 30, 2013] [* literally the very day before Outer Science, below.] [* Saeru takes over Konoha’s form for the first time here, killing Konoha.] - * Outer Science [Aug. 31, 2013] [Saeru takes over Konoha here] [* and then kills ... everyone. along with Hibiya. (above.)] (* please remember novel translations were very hard to come by during this entire time, and the english fandom had to rely on rather vague summaries.) now / present day, long after all that (and more novels, manga, MCA): - “Saeru” (Snake of Clearing Eyes) is FINALLY getting a backstory (?!) (BONUS:)

... KageHibi ? [official art by Wannyanpuu] (... among other psuedo-‘Kage+Hibi’ arts.) (... no comment on another certain Hibiya ship from this era.) ( I DON’T MAKE THE RULES )

[ask-uzume-and-chouza]

Hey there! Let's go with a simple question: How are you two doing today?

A simple question is good to start with.

[ask-uzume-and-chouza]

Congrats to you two for starting up a blog! I hope you'll try to work well and run it responsibly.

About Send Eras  

(Post version.)  

You can send asks to different points on the timeline.  Here’s a short description of the main ones.  (Asks that don’t include a specified era will be answered in whichever era the character muses are feeling fits at the moment, excluding au.)  

-

Early Days  

Uzume has recently been taken in by the Kuroha group.  Expect a quieter, more fearful Uzume, and people who have a lot to learn about each other.  

-

Kuroha Group  

The days of the Kuroha group before Minamo.  Mention more specified timeline points for a more specifically-timed answer.  

Tag used:  era: Kuroha group

-  

Late Kuroha Group  

The Kuroha group with Minamo.  Mention more specified timeline points for a more specifically-timed answer.

-  

Main  

The time period after joining up with Utsuho and through the rest of the main journey.  Mention specific arcs or timeline points for a more specifically-timed answer.  

Tag used:  era: main

-  

Post-Canon  

After the main journey of the manga has concluded.  

-  

Epilogue  

It’s very similar to and overlaps with the above, but also allows for enough time to have passed that Ageha may make appearances.  (Answers to asks directed to post-canon will not mention Ageha, but ones directed to epilogue may.)  

-  

AU  

High school au?  Modern au?  Other aus from the mangaka’s blog and/or faintwalker?  It’s not really intended to be the focus of this blog, but questions sent to characters from aus that fall under the above may be answered here.  AU-specific answers will only be given to asks directed to the au in question.  For aus created by other fans, please direct questions to them instead.  

-  

Answered asks will be tagged according to the era they are answering in.  The inclusion of anything in an ask to narrow down where on the timeline an answer is sought from is completely optional, so please don’t stress over it.  The goal is to have fun.

Questions about any of this?  Feel free to ask!
