Happy with the staff content this year but am I the only one who is disappointed with the PV we got? It's basically a slideshow of art we've already seen, major downgrade from the year 1 PV that had literally all the events. There was a drop in quality of the anniversary PVs over the years and it really shows this year. Sorry if you find this too negative I don't mean to hate I just wish Twst would do better for it's ANNIVERSARY.
[For everyone's reference, here are the anniversary PVs in order of release: 2021 / 2022 / 2023 / 2024]
Tumblr media
Mmm, now that you mention it, I noticed this trend with the Halloween PVs 🤔 For year 1, there was a video that showed all members of the NRC casy, even those that did not receive cards at that time. There were then several short variants of the PV released for year 2/Endless Halloween Night (part 1 / part 2 / part 3 / part 4). Altogether, they feature all of the characters, including the students from year 1 but heavily shadowed and with glowing eyes to indicate ghostly possession. Even Glorious Masquerade features all of the students that get new cards for the event plus Rollo, although there are notably more still shots here. The Stage in Playful Land CM, by comparison, is significantly shorter and only shows us the three SSRs (Ace, Ortho, and Kalim) as well as the two new characters (Fellow and Gidel).
As this anon has said, the anniversary PVs have changed a lot over time too. The first one was the most animated and integrated several event outfits. The second one was also animated a fair amount, but you can tell corners were cut in some places where they transition to photographs/still images. This alone works thematically given that the player is a photographer, but you can still catch dips in quality when it comes to the art style. I remember finding Deuce running and the Kalim + Silver flying scene odd, as well as Jade and Trein's faces strange in general. Then the third PV rolls around and it only features the third years; the animation also seems to be much more sluggish (although this could be a stylistic choice; not sure). A friend actually recently pointed out to me that Lilia's pose looks like he was pulled straight from other assets; his artwork in the animation is almost the exact same as his smiling expression in the game. This year's is the most different (+ most static) and, like year 3's PV, only provides "new" content for a select few characters (the dorm leaders). They also reuse pre-existing illustrations already found in the game that don't seem to be picked for any particular reason (like, there are random Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles groovies in there). This direction, I'm guessing, is less costly and more efficient than making an entirely original animation, which is what was done in previous years. (Not that Disney or Aniplex is hurting for money to fund this, lol) Would I have preferred another PV in the style of year 1's? Yeah, for sure. I want to see other events and their outfits animated! Was what we got this year bad? Not necessarily; I think the production and editing was very technically impressive, but I'm still sad we didn't get anything substantially "new" to chew on (as someone who isn't a fan of most third years or the dorm leaders). Maybe it's just something we perceive as a deficit only because year 1 set the bar so high. It is what it is; whoever was in charge of the anniversary PV was probably doing the best they could with whatever budget they were given 😔 Let's hope that next year's will be a return to form, or that at least the money/effort is being redirected to other bigger projects (maybe the anime?).

All this yelling about whether anime!Yuu should be male or female is kinda grating on my nerves, especially since the answer is obvious. Anime!Yuu should be a shrimp plushie
I know that sounds like a joke but I'm serious. I was pleasantly surprised when the Obey Me anime decided to depict MC as a sheep plushie. MC in both games is supposed to be the player's self insert, and thus is gender neutral and does not have a set appearance.
Now, if Yuu were to have a set gender, already that alienates the players who do not identify with said gender. And beyond that, portraying Yuu as a human in the anime will give them a set appearance (which will likely be pale skin and dark hair), which will also make anyone that doesn't look similar feel left out. If this were to happen, save for a specific group of players, the magic of inserting yourself in the game/anime is broken
The Obey Me anime avoids that by portraying MC as a little plushie that, though it doesn't look like any human, is a recognizable symbol of the player; it's the default icon on your student profile. We still recognize it as ourselves and no one feels as if they're left out.
Not everyone is a male or a female and some people are neither. Not everyone has pale skin or dark hair. Not everyone is a certain height in comparison to other characters. But everyone is indeed Shrimpy

[TWST] Anime appearance visual
Looking at this temporary key visual for the upcoming anime, I’ve noticed that their appearances has been toned down a bit.
Tumblr media
What I meant by ‘toned down’ is they have less-complicated details. You may think that some of fans will get 50/50 opinions towards this change.
I personally think that the reason is to ease the animators when working on them. This reminds me of Nanami Yachiyo from Magia Record’s bead-like accessory for her head wear is replaced with fabric.
To the animation studio who will animate this, please release the key animations (genga) (especially the fight scenes (sakuga) if any) and the character settei (character reference sheet). I BEG YOU.
Example of genga:
Tumblr media
I just hope that the animation won’t be half-assed :) since this is a Disney anime, I bet it will be dubbed into various languages (my opinion)
I have the feeling that the anime will change and add enormous details in the BluRay version with more epilepsy warning--ahem, I mean, brighter. TV version will probably dim the light to protect the viewers from being blinded by their magic //slapped//. Well duh, it’s A MAGIC-CENTRIC SCHOOL, anything else to say?
I took Magia Record as a reference:
Tumblr media
See the lighting? The dark one is the TV version, while the lighter one is probably the thing in BluRay.
I’m not an animator myself, so excuse me if I said something wrong :”) however, I’m just a person who’s interested in the process

>>>Twisted Wonderland Glorious Masquerade event was 😩🤌❣️✨ Inspired by Esmeralda’s colors from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Grim’s outfit, here is my take on Yuu’s Masquerade look.

The best way to do twst anime:
The anime is shot from Mc's point of view and they are mute/never have time to say anything because someone is always talking over them.
( This is a joke, except it's not. )

I hate doing this kind of thing, but here goes. I’m just getting annoyed that this is constantly happening now.
Seeing the tag get filled up with the female mc vs male mc discourse is getting really annoying. I get people want a female mc for the anime, but to say that “there are more story possibilities with a female mc than male mc” comes across as alienating and excluding. It just rubs me the wrong way. Story plots can be done with male or female mc. It wouldn’t be much different aside from the MC’s appearance. Having one gender doesn’t make it so that there are more or less story ideas. It would be the same either way with minor tweaks to it.
And the “The people against having a female mc for twst have a cult mindset.” thing also feels wrong. It kind of feels like people are being villainized for liking the idea of having a male mc. You may think that by praising and promoting the idea of female mc is great, but being so pushy about it can turn people away from the idea. For some people, having something constantly pushed in their faces makes them less inclined to support it. You can promote the idea of having a female mc without putting down the idea of having a male mc.
As many people have suggested, why can’t we just have MC be represented by a shrimp plushie? It would solve this whole gender debate since plushies are plushies and don’t have a set gender. Plus many people already represent mc with a shrimp. MC of the game is gender neutral, so the plushie could be a good representation of MC. It would be kind of cute.

Ha! All the people who said Female mc for TWST wouldn't work are wrong! So glad the manga decided to make Yuu female for Savanaclaw chapter!
Hope she stays as the Yuu from now on.
If she doesn't, I hope the Yuu from now on will be female.
This means we have a high chance for female mc for the anime too!
Yuuka is way better than Yuuken anyways. I'd rather have her more. She fits in a lot more than he does.
Yuuka is best MC!

When the twisted wonderland anime comes out what are the things you hope they do better then what they could do in the game?
Tumblr media
To quickly clarify a few things (so new readers and anyone stumbling across this post doesn't get the wrong idea): firstly, we do not yet have any confirmation on what the Twisted Wonderland anime will be about. Secondly, I have previously expressed that I would prefer the TWST anime to be random slice of life rather than another main story adaptation. If we assume that the anime will be another adaptation of the main story, I don't think the anime staff has a ton of liberty in the alterations they can make to the source material. Book 2 is widely known to be the greatest example of Bad Writing in TWST, and it cannot exactly be swept under the rug since it's in the main story. I doubt anyone would be allowed to make massive rewrites to the script or to the series of events; the biggest changes we get are slightly compacted scenes in the manga and the light novel. For example:
Skipping lines that appear in the game. (Ex: in the Book of Heartslabyul, Ace does not joke about sharing a room with Yuuken.)
Combining scenes to save on time. (Ex: In the light novel, Yuuya and Deuce meet Leona for the first time not in the Botanical Garden, which is the case in the game. Instead, the mob student that broke the eggs meant for Ace's apology chestnut tart is a Savanaclaw kid that Leona shows up to reprimand.)
Adding slight details to fill in logical gaps. (Ex: Yuuya in the light novel is granted a NRC uniform by Crowley; the uniform is described to us, the readers. Yuu getting a uniform is never mentioned in the game.)
Continuing from the last point, new details can also serve to flesh out character motivations, backstories, and lore. (Ex: the Heartslabyul light novel informs us that Riddle faces social repercussions for his OB and almost got expelled from school; the Savanaclaw light novel sheds new light on Leona's motivations, and the same can be said of Riddle.)
So basically, the story (again, if the anime does end up following the plot of the main story) would be the same. What would make the anime different from the manga, game, and light novel is largely the medium in which it is presented. I have talked about this at length in a number of older posts, but here is one example of how the manga, uses visual storytelling (as it is primarily a visual medium). A manga chapter is usually limited in length due to it being physically printed and shared in a magazine alongside other manga; there is therefore a constraint on how long-winded it can be, and its limited pages must be used effectively. We need to think about the strengths and the weaknesses of each individual medium and how those strengths and weaknesses affect how it might slightly change how TWST I presented.
An anime is able to incorporate animation with sound in a 20ish minute time slot to tell a tale. It gets the same benefits of the game, but far more freedom of movement. There is, however, also a time constraint to be considered. One complaint TWST often gets is that despite half of its core gameplay (I'm not going to count reading as gameplay) being rhythm games, the music the game has is NOT memorable. While the anime most likely won't have a ton of original songs, I hope that it can at least creatively incorporate some of TWST's scores as background tracks to fun scenes and make them more enjoyable that way. The anime will also be able to... well, be animated!! We won't get just a static screen where a maximum of three characters are crammed onto the screen at once staring back at you. It's okay to have in the game to save on time and budget, but you have to admit it does get boring to look at after a while. But with an anime production, we can get exciting lighting and camera angles that result in cool animation! I hope that this will really help the TWST characters' stories come to life on the screen ^^ One scene in particular that I hope the anime will adapt well is the VDC/SDC performances of RSA and NRC. The game tells us that RSA's performance is clumsy and amateurish, but it still managed to capture people's hearts. The game also tells us that NRC was not able to perform at their maximum capacity because they were already physically worn down from dealing with OB Vil. I want to see these descriptions actually be realized on screen (the Rhythmic/Twistune alone isn't enough), as it could help us better judge and have an enhanced understanding of the situation. I know a lot of fans who, to this very day, still feel that NRC was cheated of the win and shouldn't have lost to such a lackluster performance from RSA, so I'm hoping that a fully animated version might give us more perspective.

I don't think having mc be a shrimp plushie would work. It wouldn't be representative of anyone. Just answer the question: what do you think of a female mc?
All hail shrimp plushie mc.

This a kinda a rant about my opinions about the twisted wonderland anime that is suppose to be happening, if you don’t want to read that then you can skip this post
𝑴𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔
In my fully honest opinion when I first heard twst was getting a anime I was so excited but the more I got to thinking the more I realized i should keep my expectations low. 
I used to watch a lot of anime when I was younger and when I would watch anime that were based off of video games it was not the best, the plot was always rushed or they got the characters wrong or it felt awkward cause of how the og game was set up. This is what I fear with the twst anime, as the main story of twst is extremely long and reportedly the anime is going to have 12 episodes, I can’t see them doing the main storyline any justice with only 12 episodes.
Maybe chapter 1-4 they can go over in a few episodes but once you get to chapter 5-6 it would be too long.
My hope is that they don’t do the main story line and instead we see the daily lives of the students in each dorm as that would make more sense as to not rush anything.
You all might be wondering why I am talking about this now, it just because later today twst is suppose to be presenting at anime japan and a lot of people think its gonna be about the anime that was talked about in 2021.
Anyway this is my short ramble, I promise I am working on cater and silvers character studies they should be out before the start of April (if school doesn’t hit me hard 😅) Anyway if you have any questions or want to ask me something my ask me anything box is open, but also feel free to comment as well.
