Relationship with Noemi Daimon: They both tend to take care of everyone. And being older than her, Kaisei tries his best to be the older brother Noemi has never had. Moreover, he simps for Togo, even if, at first, he hasn't liked him very much.
Relationship with Kuranosuke Kiba: Kaisei doesn't trust Kuranosuke enough. Also, he has guilty pleasure in making fun of him by trying to intimidate the architect.
Relationship with the youngest Kiba: During his sports days, there were rumors that Shirayuki, Kaisei, and Kiba were dating. After Shirayuki and Kaisei ended their sports career, Kaisei became closer to Kiba. Now they are best friends.

Also, the trio loves her endlessly but is still afraid of her rage.

Kuranosuke's younger brother
Name: Waiting for the official name from Voltage
Marital status: Dating Kana

Weight: 80 kg/176 lb
Ethnicity: Japanese
Nationality: Japanese
One sentence description: The funny friend who is unexpectedly reliable.
Relationship with Sua Hasunuma: Kiba wasn't aware of Sua's past crush on him. However, they are pretty close now.
Relationship with Shirayuki Kiba: Kiba considers Shirayuki his sister and close friend. They spend a lot of time together. And he can't stop teasing Kuranosuke that Shirayuki is way out of his league.
Relationship with Noemi Daimon: At first, Kiba saw Noemi only as a PR project to become more famous as a dancer and entertainer. However, he understood Noemi better, and they got close. Kiba is one of the few people outside Noemi's family, Sua, and Shirayuki, who knows what's Noemi's true character.
Relationship with Togo Daimon: Kiba and Daimon haven't interacted, but Kiba is afraid of him because he hurt Noemi a few times during their training. However, Kiba thinks no man is better for Noemi than Daimon. He also likes him more than his brother and teases Kuranosuke with this.
Relationship with Kaisei: They are bros. Kaisei even lets the youngest Kiba use his cafe as a filming spot for his MyuTube videos. And Kiba never forgets to advertise the place for his friend. Kuranosuke finds it strange how these two different people connect so well.
Relationship with Kana: The youngest Kiba had a crush on Kana from school. However, he didn't have enough courage to ask her out. Only after they met again, his crush finally turned into reality.
Shiori
Name: Shiori
Marital status: Dating Inomata
Age: 32 (However, still waiting for the official date from Voltage)
One sentence description: Too precious and unlucky for this world.
Relationship with Sua Hasunuma: Shiori and Sua are childhood friends. But they fought after Sua debuted, and Sua's haters spread rumors about them dating. However, she regrets it and wants to befriend her again.
Relationship with Shirayuki Kiba: Shirayuki and Shiori know each other because Shiori was Ansetsu's girlfriend and first love. Shiori cared a lot for Shirayuki when she was together with her brother. She even learned sign language for her. Moreover, Shiori was one of the few people with whom Shirayuki was verbally talking. When she found out that Shirayuki was the one to save her from the accident and hurt herself, she felt very guilty.
Relationship with Noemi Daimon: Noemi doesn't have a past with Shiori, unlike Shirayuki or Sua. However, she is one of the few people to know that Shiori was the one whom Shirayuki saved. It's unlike Noemi's personality, but she hates Shiori for being careless and putting Shirayuki in danger. Shiori is the only person with whom Noemi is openly hostile.
Riyuki Shikichi
Name: Riyuki Shikichi (敷地璃雪, Shikichi Riyuki)
Age: 15
Date of birth: July 29
Place of birth: Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan
Height: 166 cm/5'5 ft
Weight: 68 kg/115 lbs
Ethnicity: Japanese
Nationality: Japanese
One sentence description: The cheeky sister who causes more problems than anyone could have thought.
Relationship with Shirayuki Kiba: Due to her parents' influence, Riyuki didn't like Shirayuki. After she got older, she understood that her parents had made a mistake and reached out to Shirayuki. She even ran away from home to meet her sister. Now, Riyuki visits her more often than her parents want and thinks about moving in with the Kiba family.
Relationship with Kuranosuke: Unexpectedly, they are on pretty good terms. Riyuki doesn't like his rules and has told Kuranosuke this a few times. However, Kuranosuke finds her entertaining and lets her do whatever she wants. The real reason is that he cares a lot for her, due to Riyuki being so important to Shirayuki. He is the one who has told her about the possibility of moving in with them after she finishes middle school.
Relationship with Konan: They met a few times when Shirayuki, Noemi, and Sua were still living together. It's safe to say that they are best friends. However, Riyuki is a tsundere and won't ever acknowledge in front of Konan that he is important to her.
Konan Maki

Age: 16
Date of birth: November 25
Place of birth: Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Japan
Height: 175 cm/5'9 ft
Weight: 65 kg/143 lbs
Ethnicity: Japanese
Nationality: Japanese
One sentence description: If Togo Daimon had a child, they would be less like him than Konan.
Relationship with Noemi Daimon: Konan loves Noemi and is ready to do everything for her. He is one of the few people with whom Noemi can take out her mask and be the silent and calm person she is.
Relationship with Togo Daimon: Daimon is the only person Konan teases. The boy knows that Togo is a good person. Don't forget that he convinced Noemi to marry Togo. Yet, Konan can't let him have Noemi so easily and wants to make sure that Togo gives her what she deserves.
Relationship with Riyuki Shikichi: Konan has a little crush on Riyuki and gets even shier when he is near her. However, his therapy dog is the calmest when these two are together.
Relationship with Kuranosuke Kiba: Kuranosuke likes Konan more than he likes Noemi. The boy even had a few sleepovers at Kibas' with and without Riyuki. They have a lot in common, being the put-together members of their family. Only because of Konan Kuranosuke's opinion about Noemi got better.

Original Title: DesperaDrops (デスペラドロップス)
Release Date: November 30, 2023
Developer & Publisher: Red Entertainment Corporation / D3 Publisher
Genre: Romantic Thriller ADV
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Language: Japanese
On Sunday, at Aniplex Online Fest 2023, Aniplex revealed a new teaser trailer for Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: -Walpurgisnacht Rising- (Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica: Walpurgis no Kaiten).
The trailer revealed that the anime film, which continues the Puella Magi Madoka Magica main timeline after the events of the 2013 film Rebellion, will debut theatrically in Japan in Winter 2024.
Aniplex also revealed a new key visual for the film and announced that director Yukihiro Miyamoto, who directed the original 2011 television anime series, its two film adaptation, Rebellion, and spin-off Magia Record is returning for Walpurgisnacht: Rising at SHAFT.
He is joined by the previously revealed staff, including the original creators Magica Quartet, chief director Akiyuki Simbou, writer Gen Urobuchi (Nitroplus), and character designer Aokiume. Additional returning staff includes character animation designer Junichiro Taniguchi, who served as Chief Animation Director on previous projects, parallel world designer Gekidan InuCurry (Doroinu), who created the iconic, unique looks of the Witches Labyrinths, and composer Yuki Kajiura.
All of the original Japanese main voice cast from the series and Rebellion are set to reprise their roles:
Aoi Yuki as Madoka Kaname
Chiwa Saito as Homura Akemi
Kaori Mizuhashi as Mami Tomoe
Eri Kitamura as Sayaka Miki
Ai Nonaka as Kyouko Sakura
Kana Asumi as Nagisa Momoe
Emiri Kato as Kyubey
The anime was originally announced back in 2021, but in 2019 at Anime Expo, Homura's voice actress, Chiwa Saito, foreshadowed the sequel, saying that "the actual series has not ended yet" and that she was looking forward to everyone seeing Devil Homura, a reference to the ending of Rebellion, again.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica aired in 2011 to critical and audience acclaim. It became a cultural phenomenon and spawned two movie adaptations, Beginnings and Eternal, the sequel film Rebellion, and multiple manga and video game spin-offs. It is credited with popularizing mixing dark, postmodern tropes with the magical girl genre.
so with new seasons comes new OPs but i'm really curious what's going to happen with Off and Monster seasons. there's some real chances for bangers, but there's also some ??? spots that i have no idea what will happen with. because the arcs are:
Sodachi Fiasco (which will be Marina Inoue/Sodachi's third OP)
Suruga Bonehead (Miyuki Sawashiro/Suruga's third OP
Mayoi Snake (Emiri Kato/Mayoi's fourth OP, but it's not really a Mayoi arc so i'm not sure)
Yotsugi Body (Saori Hayami/Yotsugi's second OP)
Yotsugi Shadow (see the Mayoi Snake thing)
Ougi Light (Kaori Mizuhashi/Ougi's second OP)
Ougi Fright (see the Mayoi Snake thing)
Shinobu Suicide (another Shinobu OP)
Nadeko Around (Kana Hanazawa/Nadeko's fourth OP)
there's a lot of characters getting their second or third OP here! for a lot of characters, they have one or two iconic songs for them, so it'll be interesting to see that repertoire expanded. there's a lot of uncertain spaces, tho, and i'm excited to see how those are handled
there's also the case of the secondary arcs in Monster Season, where it's named as such because of thematic reasons while the character in question never appears. they could give them two OPs for the arc, or do something weird. not sure
also, i wonder if, when we get an Ougi OP, how that's going to be played, since the previous two were definitely girl Ougi, but this new OP wouldn't be. if nothing else, it would be a great opportunity for Mizuhashi to stretch her range
also this is an upward limit of 21 different OPs, and even if they take liberties on some of the questionable ones, it's still over a dozen new OPs. that's a lot to look forward!
The cover art for THE IDOLM@STER SideM 49 ELEMENTS -15 彩 album has been released and the album is set to be released on the 27th of September 2023. It will feature a new unit song as well as new solo songs sung by each member.

❤ Backstory: Kato Akira é o irmão gêmeo mais velho de Kato Kana. Ele possui um forte complexo de irmão por sua querida “Imouto” e, por causa disso, acaba tendo impulsos obsessivos, sendo um deles o de colecionar fotos de sua irmã e observá-las antes antes de ir para a aula como forma de trazer boa sorte. Entretanto, ele sabe que a “sociedade não entenderia seus sentimentos puros” e, por isso, esconde esse lado, procurando ter uma vida social e escolar normal. Portanto, tornou-se um aluno prestigiado, sendo respeitado e conhecido por todos como “príncipe”, devido sua personalidade carismática e gentil.
Mas essa fachada de “bom moço” esconde uma imensa insanidade que transborda principalmente quando há “pequenos obstáculos” entre ele e sua querida imouto-chan.
❤ Backstory: Kato Akira is the older twin brother of Kato Kana. He has a strong brother complex for his dear "Imouto" and because of this, he ends up having obsessive impulses, one of which is collecting photos of his sister and observing them before going to school as a way of bringing good luck. However, he knows that "society would not understand his pure feelings" and therefore hides this side, trying to have a normal social and school life. Therefore, he has become a prestigious student, respected and known by all as "prince" due to his charismatic and kind personality.
But this "good boy" facade hides immense insanity that overflows mainly when there are "small obstacles" between him and his dear imouto-chan.

Sugimoto Jiro (dad) (alive)
Core headcanons -
Hidden talent: Good with the cello, guitar, and ukulele
Favorite food: Coconut cream cake
What motivates them: Feeling responsible for the guild and the team, wanting to please Matsumoto, his internal feelings of right and wrong which are questionable sometimes,
Treasured possession: The guitar he bought for himself when he was still in highschool
Deepest secret: Matsumoto asks him to kill members from other guilds if he worries they’re gaining too much power, and Reiji is too scared of him to say no
Best/Worst thing to happen to them: Learning the guitar/Literally his entire hunter career save for the special S rank team he made
Random memories: Studying german, french, chinese, russian, and korean throughout college and annoying the shit out of his roommates when he’d stay up all night, riding his bike without hands down a hill one night and getting fucked up, stealing some money from the register to add to his paycheck so he could buy himself a guitar, getting a crush on the orchestra teacher when he was in middle school, sneaking off to the club in his emo phase and sticking out like a sore thumb but having the best day of his life as he got all sorts of drunk and high,
Things they’ve done/like to do: Get up early and practice the guitar as his coffee is made, doing covers of the songs the team will listen to whenever they have to drive somewhere, visiting his old neighborhood, ride his bike at night, visit the music and instrument store near his neighborhood,
Nervous habit: Fiddling with his hair, chewing the inside of his cheek/lip,
Things they’re afraid of: Heights,
Things they want to accomplish: Getting Ryuji to open up about the red gate, training Ippei and Minoru to be better assassins, figure out where Ryuji stays when not at the dorms, figure out how to play chop suey on the piano or if it's even possible,
Additional headcanons -
He's terrible at baking since he doesn't follow the instructions
He really likes opals
Extremely emotional about a lot of things, but due to his position and job, he bottles it up inside - he's prone to bouts of irrationality because of this, but its rare and contained
He has a tattoo underneath his left ear of a Molotov cocktail - it was an impulse decision when he was younger, and he regrets it horribly. It's mostly hidden when his hair is down
Matsumoto has asked him to... take care of other guild members sometimes. Since he's an assassin and all. No one else in the guild knows, and Reiji would like to keep it that way
He wonders if he should’ve pursued his dream of being a singer rather than settling for hunter

Q1: How does the lack of available space in the library impact your ability to focus and complete your academic work efficiently?
Answer: Actually, as someone nga galisod pud when it comes to technology needed for our studies. Isa ko sa mga students nga ga go sa e-lib to do my work, so ang impact sa akoa is very lisod, specially if need nimo humanon imong activities then pag abot nimo dadto is puno and daghan ga huwat, so for it is really better to have this kani inyohang initiative which is kanang ma see bitaw daan sa students, makita nila bitaw nga naay vacant kay if ingana bitaw makita nako daan kung naa or wala at least wala ko naka adto dadto para lang e check ky if mo adto dadto tapos wala diay so murag nasayang lang akoang time nga gi anhi ug skwelahan or gi baklay padulong library instead bitaw nga gi adto nako sya sa compshop. Ang isa pa ka problem daana ky if maghulat wala pajud sure nga ikaw sunod ky wala baya silay numbering, so wala ka kabalo kung mag wait nalang baka or ikaw naba sunod.
Q2: Can you share a moment where the lack of space in the library affected your ability to complete an important task? How did that make you feel?
Answer: Actually frustrated and sad gamay ky I am not only doing academic work sa E-lib, also sa organizational work and then there are times nga walay available laptops sa office didto jud ko ga himo, so naay time nga needed na nako ang mga letters para sa amoang org. then naa pud koy mga requirments needed for my academics. Nag sayo jud ko ato around 9am, pag abot nako dadto ky puno na and daghan students ga hulat and ako ato na time ky gi sapot.
Q3: How would having more control over library space availability impact your peace of mind during study sessions?
Answer: Dako and good gyud and impact if ever nga kana naa jud control sa availability ky kato ma manage nako akong time, ma schedule nako kanus a ko mo adtong E-lib o library, and ma set nako nga kani na time mag book ko and then ana nga time ko mag go, so ma fix bitaw tanan nako schedule labi na nga busy pud kyo ko sa amoang org.
Frieren “They say books attributed to Flamme are never real. Only forgeries have been found until now. This is probably the best imitation I’ve ever seen so far, though. Not bad as a reward for defeating monsters.”
Frieren “There aren’t very many of us. I’ve only seen my own kind a handful of times. Elves may live a long time, but across the board, we lack romantic feelings and reproductive instincts. We’re quietly going extinct. The last time I met a fellow elf was more than 400 years ago. Perhaps we’re closer to the end than I thought.”
Tabibito “Kaiho-saiwa, sonohio kinen-shita-monode, machino chuo-hirobani aru Hinmeru-sama-tachino zo o kazari-tsuke, machi-zentaide seidaini iwau-nodesu.”
Traveler “That’s what the Liberation Festival commemorates. The statues of Mr.Himmel and his companions in the central plaza are decorated, and the entire town throws a grand celebration.”
Traveler “It’s been more than eighty years since the demons were defeated. That’s more than enough time for something to pass from human memory. But on this day, everyone remembers the party of heroes.”
ーーーーー
ヒンメル「うん。上出来だね。」
Hinmeru “Un. jo-deki dane.”
Himmel “Nice work.”
アイゼン「リテイク5回か…」
Aizen “Riteiku gokaika…”
Eisen “Five retakes, huh?”
ハイター「今回は早く終わりましたね…」
Haitā “Konkai wa hayaku owari-mashitane…”
Heiter “We finished sooner than usual this time.”
フリーレン「ヒンメルってよく像作ってもらっているよね。」
Furīren “Hinmerutte, yoku zo tsukutte moratte-iruyone.”
Traveler “Every year, we celebrate the great deeds accomplished by the party of heroes. Come to think of it, you look like the statue of Ms.Frieren from that very party.”
フリーレン「これ、百年後も続いているかな?」
Furīren “Kore, hyaku-nengo mo tsuzuite-irukana?”
Frieren “Will they still be doing this a hundred years from now?”
旅人「この町が続く限りは。」
Tabibito “Kono machiga tsuzuku-kagiriwa.”
Traveler “Yes, as long as this town still stands.”
フリーレン「千年後は?」
Furīren “Sen-nengowa?”
Frieren “How about a thousand?”
旅人「それはわかりませんな。」
Tabibito “Sorewa wakari-masenna.”
Traveler “Well, I don’t know."
ーーーーー
フリーレン「よし、行こうか。目指すは北の果てだ。」
Furīren “Yoshi, ikoka. Mezasuwa kitano hateda.”
Frieren “Shall we go? We’re heading far to the north.”
シュタルク「そういえば、この旅の目的地ってまだ聞いてなかったな。どこなんだ?」
Shutaruku “Soieba kono tabino mokutekichitte mada kiite-nakattana. Doko nanda?”
Stark “Come to think of it, you haven’t told me your destination yet. Where are we going?”
Lügner “If you say so. There’s bloodlust in those calm, cold eyes. Even the townsfolk who hate us look upon me as a person, even as they tremble in fear. But you look at me as though I’m a wild beast.”
Frieren “She’s one of the Seven Sages of Destruction who served the Demon King. She lost most of her followers fighting against us. Last I heard, her whereabouts were unknown. Did something happen recently?”
Fern “Aura regained her power 28 years ago. Her forces have been embroiled in battle with this town for a long time, but they’ve become exhausted by the fruitless fighting, so they’re suing for peace.”
Soncho “Koredewa, mazokuto onaji dana. Betsuni, hito o kuwanaito ikite-ikenaitte wakeja naindaro? Tsugunau kikaio ataete-yattemo iija-naika.”
Village chief “Then we’d be no different from the demons. It’s not as though they have to eat humans to survive, right? Why don’t we give her the opportunity to atone?”
Demon kid “There it is again. Every day I felt your desire to kill me. I just want to live in peace. So I brought you a replacement for the daughter I ate.”
Furīren “Mata ‘okaasan’ ka. Mazokuwa mamonoto onajide kosodateno shukanga naku, umi-otosarete-kara ooku no jikan o tengai-kodokuni sugosu. Omae-tachiwa kodokuo atari-maeto suru seibutsude, kazokuto-iu gainen sura sonzai-shinai. Nanoni, nande ‘okaasan’ nante kotobao tsukauno?”
Frieren “‘Mom’ again? Like monsters, demons don’t raise their young. They spend most of their time after birth living in solitude. You’re solitary creatures by nature. You have no concept of family. So why do you use the word ‘mom’?”
魔族の子「…だって殺せなくなるでしょう… …まるで魔法のような素敵な言葉…」
Mazokuno ko “…Datte korosenaku-narudesho… …Marude mahono-yona sutekina kotoba…”
Demon kid “Because it stops you from killing us. A wonderful, magical word…”
Furīren “Yatsurani totteno ‘kotoba’wa, jinruio azamuku subeda. Dai-mahotsukai Furanmewa, kotobao hanasu mamono o ‘mazoku’ to teigi-zuketa. Sono sosenwa, emono o obiki-yoseru tameni monokage-kara ‘tasukete’ to kotobao hasshita mamono dayo.”
Frieren “For them, words are a means of deceiving humans. Flamme the Legendary Mage defined monsters capable of speech as demons. They’re descended from monsters who cried ‘help’ from the shadows to lure humans to them.”
Ryugunā “Jinruino gaiko-senjutsu daro. Soreyori, kini narunowa ano mahotsukaida. Ano kao, dokokade… Kotobano tsujinai mojuka. Jitsuni tekikakuna hyogenda. Kono machide, kanojo dakega warera mazokuno honshitsuo rikai shiteiru. Hito o kurau hoshokushaga hitono kotoba o hanasu riyu-nado, tada hitotsu.”
Lügner “A human diplomatic tactic. In any case, I’m curious about that mage. I know her face from somewhere. Wild beasts who can’t be communicated with, huh? That’s an accurate description. She’s the only one in this town who understands the true nature of us demons. There’s only one reason that predators who prey on humans would speak the human language.”
Frieren “They speak not to understand us but to deceive us. This town won’t be around much longer. I should take advantage of the confusion to escape.”
Granat “My son’s room. He was a good boy. He’d often boast about how he’d take over the family soon so I could take it easy. His Majesty gave him this sword when he fought in his presence.”
Granat “He died in battle against Aura ten years ago. All that came home to me was his sword. Lügner! I only invited you here to avenge my son. I’m going to kill all of you envoys here and now. Your peace means nothing to me!”
Lügner “Why don’t we put an end to this, Graf Granat? Or shall we continue to shed each other’s blood and cause even more grief? We’re capable of speech with each other. Please grant us the opportunity to settle this with discussion.”
Lügner “Graf Granat resents us, but he seems to be an empathetic man. If we win him over, we may be able to convince him to lower this town’s defensive barrier in the name of peace. Then Lady Aura’s forces will raze this town.”
