#monogatari audio drama

[precisemuseum]

Can I ask a quick question? What is the puyo puyo drama cd three cinderellas about? I can't understand japanese and i'm very curious.

Basically, the Madou Monogatari characters are putting on a play for the story Cinderella...for some reason.

Arle is playing the stepmother and she's trying to keep everyone on task, but Draco, Witch, and Rulue mess it up since they all want to play Cinderella, but two of them were supposed to play her evil stepsisters. They also are all really bad at the things Cinderella is supposed to be good at like cooking, cleaning, and gardening. Rulue creates a dish that is somehow alive, Draco burns everything up to 'clean' it, and Witch creates a living plant monster...

Schezo is playing the "fairy godmother" of the story, he's just called a magician so it's not actually a gendered role for the record. He's mostly annoyed about having to play a goody two shoes role and is just as confused as Arle is about there being three Cinderellas. Satan shows up briefly and Arle thought he was playing the prince, but Suketoudara is the one actually playing the prince. Once they get to the ball, all of the Cinderellas turn him down and beat him up.

This summary is really condensed and maybe missed some details, but we probably won't be able to get to subtitled audio drama releases for a while. I hope this helps you understand the story!

Before Kusuriya no Hitorigoto anime will be out this October. I just want to share my thoughts about how much I like it and I hope others will be interested in it too.

If you're a long time follower of my blog, you'll know this. My favorite Shoujo anime of all time is Saiunkoku Monogatari. As in I love revisting the story even if its already an old anime or not perfect adaption. I always try to find a story similar to it. I think Kusuriya no Hitorigoto is the closest so far to that. Both of them are popular during their era. I just love it when the heroine have her own principles and can stand on her own. Kou Shuurei and Maomao are like that. The male main characters partnered with them, Shi Ryuuki and Jinshi are kinda love driven but they have their own agenda while remaining interesting characters. They tend to be annoying sometimes so you must see them as characters not your husband candidate to enjoy them. You will see the pair solving different cases together.

Saiunkoku ending might not be for everyone but I still like it. I think Kusuriya no Hitorigoto will ended up like that too. Where everyone's opinions about the pair are divided. Some will want Maomao to be an AroAce representative and some ship her with Jinshi.

A. Some hated Shuurei for taking a long time to accept Ryuuki as her romantic partner

B. Some hated Ryuuki after Shuurei died because they assume he force himself to her to get married and Shuurei have a very strong AroAce career woman energy who don't need a man in her life

C. Some hated the author for making a sad ending where the main pair died. Ryuuki for illness and Shuurei because of childbirth.

But my take about it is. For me, it all make sense. Since day 1, Shuurei's concern will always be Ryuuki as the emperor. So for her to get married and continue to support the emperor Ryuuki as his consort is obviously her wish. Yes, you can get married without being super in love. Its not like she didn't accomplish anything. She accomplished so many things as the official. It just finally arrived to the time where she's satisfied with it and decided to marry Ryuuki. She didn't married because she realized one day she's madly in love with Ryuuki or Ryuuki forced himself to her but because of her goal. She want Ryuuki to continue serving the people as the emperor. If getting married with him will fulfill his duties, why not? She treasure Ryuuki in neither in romantic or platonic sense but in deep sense so even if she's not madly in love with him. She still treasure Ryuuki as her husband. I know this because I listened to the audio drama about Shuurei saying her goodbye to crying Ryuuki and she said she enjoyed being together with Ryuuki as couple even if its short time. In the end, Ryuuki found himself understanding his duties because of the people who support him. He want to continue to be the emperor not only for her but for his supporters who sincerely help and trusted him in his reign. Because he's the emperor, he developed deep platonic relationship with his advisor and general. When I read that extra story, I'm like "Shuurei must be smiling in afterlife because of Ryuuki's character development because he's no longer the emperor for her but for his people." I guess their relationship is very close to Wangquan Baye and Dongfang Huaizhou in Huyao Xiao Hongniang. Where they obviously like each other but not madly in love enough then got married in bad taste who share same goals to make their child a human weapon. They enjoyed being the husband and wife tho. Huaizhou also died of childbirth but stated her pregnancy days with him is the happiest moment of her life. Another thing to consider is Shuurei's love for her deceased mother. Her death at childbirth is a parallel to how her mom sacrificed her life to let her child live.

So what I'm saying is I ship Maomao and Jinshi. I just hope people will not take it seriously because shipping characters for me is a healthy fandom activity where you discuss headcanon and what if situation. I have strong imagination and surrounded by artist friends with wild take so I can't help it. Shipping will only become bad when you harass real people. Even if the pair will not ended up together or they are not the ideal couple everyone wanted, I will continue to ship them and no one can stop me because shipping to me is just a harmless activity. Most of my ships are not even canon so please understand its not like I'm forcing them to kiss. I just enjoy their dynamic and little crumbs of cuteness. I literally ship Suzume and Souta in Suzume no Tojimari just because I believe not every ship need to be sexual. I just imagined them solving cases together and being a Power pair. They can just be cute and that's fine. Being angsty and unhinged pair like Vanitas and Jeanne in Vanitas no Carte is also fine. You can tell that I don't really enjoy a heavy romance story because most of my ship is from plot-driven story lol So before someone assume oh all I think of is romance. That's wrong. I can't even watch a romance anime lately but I love shipping tho.

is there any chance that you're planning to translate the yohaji drama cds or know anyone that is? i would really like to know whats going on in those drama cds 🙏🙏 and to hear hatanaka's voice, too T_T

hmmm i might give it a try! (we'll see in a couple of weeks if i actually have)

ideally i want to edit it into a nice video (like those monogatari audio commentary videos on youtube)

[eway]

Ok first of all, I would like to say, after remembering Tetris 2, what people have said about Puzzle Pop, the books, and two audio dramas (Ecolo and the dog, and Arle loosing her powers), I think that Yoshiko (I think that's her name) should have writing involvement.

Now onto your questions

Of course! I mean it's nessassary for the Madou Monogatari adaptations

I am unsure if I'll adapt the Tetris games. I'll probably replace the duology with an original story about the Puyo cast

Same as above

Again, same as above

Lots. Same with ScheArle and MagurIn (my trio of favorite Puyo ships)

Definitely!

Again, I don't know about Tetris 2. I know there won't be Ally X Rafisol though (I personally see Rafisol as AroAce)

Unsure about Tetris 2

Again, if we take real world things into account (like the need for celebrity voices) we'll also take the hassle of rights into account

BUT!

I have ideas for Chronicle

First, the prophecy of The Great Hero is reworded, so it could fit either Arle or Ally.

Next up! So The Dark Prince wants to do that "fake my kidnapping and let Arly rescue me" thing. Ecolo hears and the amnesia everyone gets about Ecolo means he doesn't remember Ecolo. Ecolo offers to help, and Dark Prince agrees, with Ecolo saying he'll "make a villain for this"

He goes to Ally's world, and uses the pendant while Ally is asleep, creating and then stabilizing Ecolo. He tells her she is supposed to be a villain. That seems right to her, her powers are destructive by nature. But she doesn't know what that means so Ecolo decides to teach her.

Cut to later, and Ecolo appears to The Dark Prince, reminds him of the plan, and things commence. Arle winds up in the world, Dark Prince is kidnapped, except it's not fake. Rafisol is fully intending to keep him there, because that's what Ecolo told her villains do. Ecolo is entertained (and also remembers DP trying to kill him during 7) and encourages this. Ecolo and Rafisol genuinely bond as they make evil plans and traps for Arle.

Arle manages to overcome them with the help of someone Rafisol doesn't know about - Ally.

Later, Ecolo laments that Rafisol won't remember him. He explains everything about that, and the events of 7. Rafisol is confused about how someone like Ecolo can gain a friend. Become good. But she instead decides, that instead of turning good, she'll double down. Ecolo says she should be evil, her powers are evil, so she is. And evil people, they get revenge. Lots of people hurt Ecolo (the guys in 7), so she'll get revenge for him! The Primp and Suzuran squad are brought to the world. And Rafisol announces that in a certain time frame, if Arle doesn't stop her, she'll use a combination of her own powers, Ecolo's powers, and the Dark Prince's powers to destroy The World Of Sorcery.

Arle and friends make it to the tower, but one by one are forced to stay behind until it's just the ARS trio and Ally. Again, Rafisol didn't take her into account.

The ARS trio is defeated in a battle, and Rafisol pulls a forced to watch (Arle can watch her friends die, then her world), and then reveals her intentions to do the same to Primp and her motive and Ecolo realizes things have gotten out of hand. Before she can do this, Ally steps up. The two fight in Puyo Battle, for the sake of two worlds

Ally manages to win, and Rafisol begins to fall. Ecolo fails to catch her due to being incoporial. Ally catches her. Rafisol is confused why Ally would save her. And Ally says she knows Rafisol has good in her, that she wants love. She even points out that her motive for destroying Primp and The World Of Sorcery is out of (platonic) love for Ecolo!

From there, she remembers what Ecolo told her about the events of 7, and realizes the lesson she SHOULD have learned. Ecolo apologizes for almost letting her destroy two worlds for his sake (with some encouragement from Ringo). Rafisol forgets Ecolo when he leaves, but in a post credit scene, he returns, and when she sees him, memories flood back and she smiles

Another thing about these potential movies is designs. I mean I briefly touched on it but still

Arle's outfit in the first film will be the outfit in Madou Monogatari I Honoo No Sotsuenji

So cute!

Camus and Lala retain their designs since they have no additional designs. Schezo...well he starts like this

But like Arle and the others gets some sort of Armor that I haven't designed

That's perfect to start with! About the Suzuran ARS trio, how will they look?

So the new campaign song Trois is about pirates?

The new Campaign song ‘Trois: Ken to Kizuna no Monogatari/Trois: A Tale of Swords and Bonds” is a part of the Shining Masterpiece Show Series. It’s not pirates, but the three musketeers themed. There have been two sets of Gekidan Shining /Theatre Shining in the past which are very similar to this. Each set has 3-4 songs with stronger themes than usual. Each comes with a long audio drama.

The sets are:1. Joker Trap, Masquerade Mirage, and Tenka Muteki no Shinobi Michi.2. Bloody Shadows, Polaris, Every Buddy, and Pirates of the Frontier. 3. Lost Alice, Trois, and Lycoris.

They’re some of my favourite Utapri songs so I really recommend you check them out. They’re amazing live too. The websites for the new three are linked above where you can listen to the song previews and see the beautiful official art.

So no, it’s not about pirates, but the three musketeers, but pirates of the frontier (feat. Otoya, Ranmaru, and Camus) was pirate themed!

For My Sisters, For Myself: Tsubasa Tiger

For My Sisters, For Myself: Tsubasa Tiger

Tsubasa Tiger could be seen as the first ending of Monogatari, the moment when one of its central figures finally graduates from their apparition’s pain. Of course, in Monogatari, there’s no “escaping” your troubles. Oshino frames the inevitability of psychic pain, and the ways that pain is linked to our fundamental identities, as “we can only save ourselves.” In her audio drama letter to Black…
