#first was gunjou sanka's 2dmv

[kawaiichibiart]

If I had a nickel for everytime Wonderlands x Showtime had their main story shown/referenced by an official video made by the JP server (2DMVs and other animations), I'd have three nickels.

Which isn't a lot, but it was funny that it happened twice, surprising but not surprising that it happened thrice (Gunjou Sanka 2DMV, Mr. Showtime's puppet show, and Journey to Bloom).

⊹ ࣪ ˖ day 13 - First Sight (In-game/Gunjou Sanka 2DMV)

Trying to scoop toukoha moments from the main story! It's kinda cute that Kohane was still worried about BAD DOG's relationship despite not knowing them well enough

JUMPIN' OVER!

Integral

Rekka (though the full lyrics aren't out yet)

Some technicalities that you can decide if they count or not:

needLe (the title is in english and not spoken, but the Japanese word for needle, 針 (hari), appears in the lyrics)

MORE! JUMP! MORE! (not spoken exactly but the words are repeatedly individually multiple times)

RAD DOGS (one line of the rap section is "Rad de Bad na Underdog")

Niccori^^Chousa-tai no Theme (the first lyric is the title minus the "team" part)

Metamo Re:born (both parts of the title do appear but not together)

Tokugawa Cup Noodle Kinshirei

Gekkou (one lyric is Tsuki no Hikari, which uses the kanji from the title and has the same meaning, only different is the pronounciation and the "no" particle)

Teratera (乗っかってら (nokkattera) appears in the lyrics multiple times. when the tera part of the word is sung, it is highlighted in the 2dmv. may or may not have the same meaning as the title, wadatakeaki is not clear about this lol)

Voices (again the Japanese word (声) appears in the lyrics but not the english one)

the WALL (Japanese word for wall (壁) is in the lyrics)

Watashi wa, Watashitachi wa (the first part of the title appears)

Hoshi o Tsunagu (it's there but not word for word. in the song it's past tense (hoshi o tsunaide. i count this as the title being present but if you like to be specific it doesn't count)

CRaZY (spelled out in english, but the official title has a kanji in place of the A which is not marked in the lyrics at any point)

Sekai o Terasu Tetrad (the tetrad is not present but the rest of the title is)

multiple other songs have like one word from the title appear but it's a lot and it's only one word so I just counted them as not referenced

Ya know, I can't help but wonder what else we'll see with the 4th anniversary for PRSK.

And I don't mean updates to the game or things like that.

I'm specifically talking about bonus content that we'd only be able to find on their official social media accounts.

Like, as of right now we have the countdown art. Which I love and adore.

We also have the movie, but I wouldn't count that as: 1. It was already announced so I don't see it as a 4th anniversary thing. And 2. It's coming next year by which the 4th anniversary would have already passed.

But iirc, Journey to Bloom came with the 3rd anniversary. And while I can't remember exactly when the first of the five episodes was released, I'm pretty sure it was roughly within the same time range as the 3rd anniversary (within the same month and into the next, if not between October and November).

With the second anniversary we got the 2DMVs for not only the 2nd anniversary song, Journey, but for the 1st anniversary song, Gunjou Sanka. And that's continued with NEO and I'm assuming the 4th anniversary song.

So I can't help but wonder if anything like that will happen with the 4th anniversary. Will we get any bonus content that comes specifically with the upcoming anniversary that: a. isn't related to the actual game (gachas, updates, etc.) or b. coming next year (which, as I mentioned earlier, I don't count).

Do you have a list of all the people who’ve done the animations for MVs? To my knowledge they’re mostly omu but I’m wondering who else there may be regularly producing MVs

I spent all day putting the credits for every MV into a spreadsheet. stats time

omu has done the motion graphics for the most 2DMVs, with a total of 43 as of posting. This includes 33 event songs that were originally released as a 2DMV (only missing Glory Steady Go!, Tricologe, Metamo Re:born, Parasol Cider, CRaZY, and Purpose), 3 other commissions (Keitai Renwa, Aoiro Enogu, and Hurray), 1 Virtual Singer MV (Just Be Friends), and 6 covers (Inochi ni Kirawarete iru., the Kanade alt vocal MV for that song, Viva Happy, Miracle Paint, Jishou Mushoku and Hello,world!)

It seems they're entirely reserved for event commissions nowadays

The second most frequent animator is OTOIRO, who has done the motion graphics on 18 2DMVs. Their first MV was Otome Kaibou, and some of their other MVs include TONDEMO-WONDERZ, Salamander, PaIII.SENSATION, and three of the 2022 April Fools MVS.

Interestingly every MV they've worked on has had a director and they're usually the animator on MVs with a bigger production team (aside from the traditionally animated ones like Gunjou Sanka and NEO which don't have motion graphics, and also Tokugawa Cup Noodle Kinshirei)

Next would be Lye, who has worked on 11 MVs. The first MV they worked on was Jackpot Sad Girl, but their other works include Traffic Jam, STAGE OF SEKAI, and Twilight Light.

There's multiple MVs made by motion graphics artists from a group called THINGS. One of these animators is Akito Nakayama, who has worked on 6 MVs, the 4th most out of anyone. Some of the MVs he worked on were Shoujorei, IDSMILE, and the April Fools Venom cover

Another member of THINGS has started working on MVs recently, and I've seen a lot of people say they're one of the best editors we've had. That would be NUL, who did the animations for Darling Dance, purpose, and DAYBREAK FRONTLINE

3 other members of THINGS have worked on MVs. Takumi Osera worked on the April Fools MV for Positive☆Dance Time and the vsinger MV for potato ni Natte iku, ZIIEK worked on Amanojaku, and Hano worked on Cutlery

Another editor that's popped up recently is Aoespring, who did the Villain and Fixer MVs. (on Fixer they're credited with (STUDIO KAIBA) which I'm assuming is a studio they belong to, not sure why it's only listed on one of their MVs though)

The only other editors to have done more than one MV are Ikumi (magic number, ray, Doctor=Funk Beat, Phony), Norainu (Glory Steady Go!, Cosmospice, Parasol Cider), Mizuki (Time Machine, Cinema, Chururira) and Guu (Warera Stain Busters!, CRaZY)

There are actually 10 MVs that don't credit an animator. These are Fragile (Bad Dogs cover), Hibana -Reloaded-, Happy Synthesizer (MMJ cover), Bocca della Verità, Sweet Magic (WxS cover), Roku-chou nen to Ichiya Monogatari, Chikyuu Saigo no Kokuhaku o, Positive☆Dance Time (WxS cover), Ren'ai Saiban, and Aishite Aishite Aishite. The last one does credit a text animator and compositor though so I guess one of them edited the rest of the video (the compositor probably would've done it)
