Humans dressed as a bear, a llama, and a piece of candy

We didn’t translate their names in the release, but I don’t think we needed to…

If we translated character names…

Ichigo = Strawberry Starcastle
Aoi = Hollyhock Mistarrow
Ran = Orchid Purpleblow
Otome = Maiden Nest-on-River
Yurika = Lily Wisterhall
Sakura = Cherrybloom Northroads
Kaede = Maple Firstshoal
Mizuki = Fairmoon Spiritfront

Also, the New Year’s bento they talk about has a Wikipedia page (so maybe we should’ve just had it as osechi).

Loli twintail Ichigo looking sad because her cake is almost gone

This is what Christmas with insufficient cake looks like.

Christmas! With real Christmas cakes! Like, actual cakes!

(For those of you who don’t know, “Christmas cake” is a term used to describe women over the age of 25 who want to marry, but cannot find a suitor. The logic is that no one wants a woman after her 25th, no matter how pretty she is, much like how no one wants a Christmas cake after the 25th, no matter how pretty it is.)

Aikatsu! 1-50 Batch + Extras!

Yes, finally, one cour after the epic finale of Aikatsu season 1, we bring you the updated batch! For the most part this was a one man effort, and I went over every single episode again, fixing timing, adding signs, updating consistency, and just making it better in general. This is the best you’re going to get [spoiler]until the BDs come out and we get someone to retime everything[/spoiler]. The effects are most pronounced near the beginning since we sucked, it helps that furzi stuck the missing aphorism segments onto the first seven episodes, and Etoce did a great help at the end since I’m incompetent with xdelta. As a bonus, I took various notes as I rewatched everything which you can find below the break.

Happy Winter Solstice, and help seed if you can (since it’s literally just me).

There's only a slightly hint of ethnic stereotyping in this episode (pic not related).

There’s only a slightly hint of ethnic stereotyping in this episode (pic not related).

Sora means sky.

We spent way more time than we should have had to picking words for Sora’s sounds.

Seira, Kii, and Sora are Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan. Mm, printer colors.

In order of what I associate with Bohemia:

1) Generic region in central Europe.
2) What people call the Czech Republic when they want to annoy people who insist on calling it Czechia (which is an okay name, really).
3) Roman-Gallic interactions that led to Bohemia getting its name.
4) Rhapsody.
99) Bohemianism.

This was in the first episode. What, you missed it?

This was in the first episode. What, you missed it?

This episode is for the people who have actually been paying attention to the plot. In fact, it prompted me to write a new rant which will shortly be above this post. Oh yeah, and Hiroomi said “You’re planning to kill him, aren’t you?” and not “You must kill him.” Sorry about that.
