That’s a cute foot fetish you got there, would you mind keeping it 25796323689432 feet away from me?
i think they just need to hug after all that

ough….. i heart it
honestly i had only listened to firedance and smile*symphony before watching to avoid spoiling most of the songs for myself, but i almost cried once
the gunjou sanka cover… the journey and NEO references, the DISAPPEARANCE OF HATSUNE MIKU i died
honestly the movie songs hit so so much harder knowing the context and lyric translations behind them because yeah firedance is a fire song but it’s also about combatting burnout and not giving up
also the negativity demon and positivity angel lyrics definitely made me like smile*symphony more im not lying.
the movie was also really really pretty in the animation, there were so many fucking details, from the cd cases in the store (i clocked stardust medley lmao) to what was playing (especially when ichika was showing miku a few songs-pretty sure one of them being ghost night tokyo? correct me if im wrong) aLSO ALSO MY FAVORITE ANIMATION DETAIL was when all the groups were in broken miku’s sekai and their outlines changed to their unit colors (wxs and mmj had their colors muddled for visibility but it’s okay) and the kinda glitchy silhouettes when focusing on one unit because they had touched the fragments from their own sekais and couldn’t see each other (did wish for more cross-unit interaction but it can’t be helped)?!?!!? i genuinely love all the thought and care put into even the tiniest bits of animation
every single character seeing broken miku interaction got me (toya’s bread… tsukasa scream… mafuyu stare…)
the one scene where it’s vbs first meeting broken miku and Ken comes out and they’re just all hiding toya’s phone looking like the end of a 3dmv
went there with a few irls (@/kiwimeep i know you’re there) and we definitely didn’t look at eachother when our favs were onscreen because i honestly always was smiling whenever there was a wondershow scene (send the pitchforks) and almost laughed multiple times at tsukasa dialogue (he yelled at LEAST 3 times during the movie and got fucking decimated by robonene in that one scene where the units were sent back to the real world through the window’s in broken miku’s sekai)
also pretty sure this takes place before 3rd anni because it’s mostly old designs (but like mainly mmj and n25 because the other units had like unique outfits for most of the film?) also tsukasa jetpack wing things in the beginning and the miku on robonene spin where she ends up swaying after finishing it…
finally after miku had like gotten her message out and the sekai was restored and everyone went to see her i kinda thought she was dying because she was saying like “i suppose this is our goodbye” and it kept cutting to the skylight so i might’ve been misreading some shit…
tldr i FUCKING love the pjsk movie because you can clearly see all the effort and love put into it
Do you know who prevs icon is?
spoilers for movie under cut
the best part of the movie was when everyone was pushed out the broken windows sekai and tsukasa held onto the edges of the wxs window, yelled "NOT ME!", and was immediately pushed through by force via being slammed in the stomach by robonene. best part of the movie everyone laughed. he was almost exclusively comic relief and i respect it
i got a comment on my Doki Doki ♪ Harmony Live2D Models asking how they’re made and thought i should try and explain my process!
note: i loosely followed @ribbon-sweet’s explanation here! xe explains it really well imo and her shuffle au is very cool and has much much more sustenance for the fans go FOLLOW HER!!! /nf
↓↓↓ this was the speedpaint for all of the ddh models if you want a visual, be warned it’s got a ton of backtracking and flashes/sudden appearances.
Here’s a kind-of step-by-step but not really of my process/notes!
For at least unit outfits (for swaps or shuffles), I’d definitely recommend making / editing 3D models from in game first! Unless you’d like to draw the outfit by hand, be my guest, but it looks good even with slapping and editing it onto the live2d. Saves a lot of time and potential hand cramps lmao
On the topic of 3D Models, the poses they make in the dress up menu sometimes makes them hard to select and edit (eyeing honami…), so if that happens to you, I’d recommend putting the outfit on Mafuyu and giving her short hair to select and copy/paste from as she has a simple, front facing pose with little arm posing.
I source my models from sekai.best, as you can pose and change expressions easily, and they just added a toggle to turn off the looking-around type animation applied! Swimsuit and Sports models are my bases because they usually have short/no sleeves and are less bulky than other costumes, but you might have to cut in the legs (i took from Nene’s school outfit in this case,) for sports models.
Don’t be afraid to Frankenstein parts together! I stole jackets from other models for Nene and Minori’s casual outfits (the images aren’t properly uploading right now sighhh) and they turned out fine! I’ll probably be doing this in the future too.
Add whatever edits you want! I don’t do very much, but other editors definitely do more to their models (the most I probably did was give minoririn freckles and doing the bang thing on Nene, i think?) For programs, I use procreate because I’m used to it, but I’m pretty sure anything works! I know people use ibispaint, at least.
More of a personal thing, but I also used an extra layer to cover up the expression to make adding different expressions easier in the future.
Have fun and don’t stress out on making them at maximum efficiency! All of these took me about 4 hours over the course of multiple days. There’s no rush.
This is also a personal thing, but background noise helps because this is a long, tedious process most of the time. Whatever you like, but long videos can have you switch around less. (I made some of these edits with Shayy’s “Undertale Genocide but Every Enemy is Sans” vod, and i didn’t even finish it before falling asleep!)
this probably sounds really jumbled but i hope this helps !!!
(since you asked to be tagged for this, here you go! @ballmuncher3)
