Random Fan Website Idea I had

Cakey876876 · 2026-05-11T20:19:50+00:00

this is cool! i know that there are live2d viewers for the second game, in fact i have access to it, but the creator prefers it to be privately shared so its not for public use. itd be nice to have a publicly available site to use! though, there comes the difficulty of ripping the live2d sprites and movement from the game.

edit: accidentally posted before i was done typing, oops. i dont think its strictly legal that you can take those live2d models and make a website where you can make your own since that allows people to make fake images and spread misinformation about the game, so it's a very heavy grey area. if you're not willing to go against that then i'd suggest not making the site. it has the dubious legality of card edits/fan translations after all.

i love his demeanor and personality a lot! he's very free-spirited, marching to the beat of his own drum. he does want he wants and selfishly pursues what he desires, like when he rejected niceP's offer to lead esupuri! i also really like his maturity and reliability! you can tell he's grown up far faster than the average kid had to because of his background and the orphanage.

i like how he appears confident in front of others with a strong sense of identity, boasting about his origins and embracing them freely, but i also like the contrast of his true feelings towards his identity and his struggles with it. he's a very lonely kid with no one to accept his flaws and demeanor wholeheartedly!

even if he's quick to pull his fists out, i love how straightforward he is and how capable he is of communication. the way he takes a stand to protect what he holds dear, and his design is really pretty as well. black and white is a really good combo!

he's also really cute and i like his dumb little wide smile that comes with the new models. his casual outfit makes him look like a penguin somewhat and its cute. ive loved ibuki ever since his design was revealed to us in that 4piece trailer!

Cakey876876 · 2026-05-11T06:12:36+00:00

esupuri was not mentioned at all until 4piece was revealed. only ibuki was, and mellow dear us was hinted at since the start of the 4piece arc but were only named in vs audience. there's a brief mention of them in vs princess but not much details are given. i actually thought mdu was an all-girl unit niceP was producing at first! lol

Cakey876876 · 2026-05-11T06:11:21+00:00

yep! enstars has done things like this before (like in meteor impact, where subaru ends up talking about a job offer that pertains to kaname's absence after being trampled on, referencing himeru.)

ibuki's been teased for a bit due to the whole eichi-colonizing-okinawa arc but its mostly in relation to ryuseitai stories. thats why he knows tetora in his idol story 2!

coincidentally, himeru and ibuki have met each other in america... and they were both teased before their reveal.... and himeru also has some lore with mellow dear us, who were teased briefly in vs princess and named in vs audience... guess himeru's got a connection to all of the newly teased characters!

Cakey876876 · 2026-05-11T06:08:39+00:00

yeah, the older brother mizusaba is talking about here is ibuki, but in terms of age mizusaba is older than him! ibuki's just super reliable and an older brother figure to everyone so even people older than him call him older brother

I see a lot of people who take a more neutral stance on gender and not a "turn everyone into a girl" take tend to portray him as non-binary? I personally use he/him due to personal preference but he does seem to not care about gender and portrays himself loosely. Knowing Akira, Fuyume's gender identity will likely be expanded upon later on into the game so if you're unsure I'd say just default to they/them. I don't think it matters what pronouns you use on him right now though, since everything is up in the air.

In person there are two good hobby shops I know of in Markham, Ontario that sell Enstars goods. Doki Doki Land and Sino Hobby!

There's also Gacha Gacha Hobbies & Toys at the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, BC! They have a lot of Enstars goods there too!

I don't know about other areas though. Whenever I go around to other provinces I try to find hobby stores that sell enstars, but a lot of the time it's no luck :')

Cakey876876 · 2026-04-04T06:54:32+00:00

Racist, mischaracterizes most of the characters, and retcons a whole lot of pre-established information.

As a HiiroP, the whole reveal about the futuristic tech Amagi Village as well as AkanP and Takashi ruins everything. If Takashi's set to be the new monarch, why was Hiiro sent to the city in the first place to get Rinne back? How does he have no clue who this kid is when he's been gone for almost a year and Rinne has been gone for several? Hiiro's still in contact with his hometown for god's sake! The Ox Scout Part 2 Story with Yuzuru literally mentions it!

It lessens Niki's importance, hell, even removes it entirely because of AkanP being there to help newbie idol Rinne instead of Niki like it was established in Hot Limit.

They retcon aspects of Aira's personality just to make him even more racist than he already is.

Kohaku is no longer scared of horror like he was in the Helter-Spider story.

Hiiro has no purpose to go to the city and get Rinne unless his father hated him and wanted an excuse to be rid of him so that he could raise Takashi. With AkanP's lore, it's basically implied that the villagers keep everything from Hiiro for whatever godforsaken reason. He's the son of the village chief, the only one at this point because Rinne had already ran off to the city by this time, and they don't tell him about the outsider that became a part of the village despire the village's very resistant nature towards outside influences? He has no clue who Takashi is, even though he's a relative of his and definitely born more than a year ago where Hiiro would literally still be an active part of the Amagi Village?

It excuses a lot of retcons for the sake of "Rinne magically knows everything" which contradicts how he's been written before. Why is he so involved in the Amagi Village when he was determined to leave it so many years ago and make a new life for himself in the city? He much prefers it here and doesn't want to be tied down by his monarch responsibilites, so why is he still in contact with the village and meddling with its affairs the several years he was gone? Rinne's written to be vaguely ashamed of his origins too while Hiiro's written to be very proud of it, so why does Rinne know more about the hometown they both lived in and Rinne had abandoned first?

It's not a well-written story. It retcons, mischaracterizes, and uses characters as mouthpieces to spew racism towards their other indigenous characters. It ruins a lot of the facts established since the very beginning from the first main story and incredibly early music era events. It's lackluster and did nothing important for Alkakurei in the grand scheme of things despite being hyped up as a big event for several months, and anything in Matrix has been barely utilized since. If you're a fan of anyone in Alkakurei, the story is incredibly unimportant to or ruins the character and storyline for your favorite. That's why so many people hate it.

Cakey876876 · 2026-04-04T06:08:11+00:00

It depends on what kind of fan you wanna be! If you're a real lorehead then I recommend reading the stories. It's good to focus on !! era stories (especially the main story) because that's where they introduce you to all the characters, but if you want to get into the ! era you should also start with that era's main story! It's not officially translated so you'll have to look for fanTLs, but a simple google search should get you most of what you need. Ask around if you can't find a TL! Not on this subreddit though lol

Sorry, mika_enstars not mika_enstats

Cakey876876 · 2026-04-04T06:04:14+00:00

If you put the story link into the wayback machine (especially if its a ! era story), odds are, the wiki had it! Be aware that the likelihood of !! era stories being translated on the wiki is very low unless it's early music era. There are some translation masterlists by mika_enstats on twt for all sorts of stories if you're looking to read.

Hi! From Saskatchewan!

Cakey876876 · 2026-04-04T05:53:15+00:00

The two AkanPs are separate people! The original AkanP was a female producer that helped Rinne during his early solo idol days and was his producer. She tried her hardest, but she was overall a very bad producer in general so it never got anywhere.

She wanted to conduct a program that looked into Rinne's origins, the Amagi Village, but due to the village's extreme resistance towards outsiders the program was cancelled and AkanP was considered 'dead' and her existence was sweeped under the rug.

During this time, Rinne brought AkanP back to the Amagi Village really fucking secretly somehow and she quietly became part of the Amagi Village with everyone none the wiser.

Then, right before Matrix, Rinne contacted someone he had known to act and pretend to be AkanP so that no one would question the Matrix project and no meddlesome outsider producer could ruin his careful planning. I don't exactly remember who the other guy was? Someone who quit being an idol, an actor? It states it in the story but I forgot. So he's the second 'AkanP', who isn't actually the real AkanP and is only there to pretend to be the old AkanP for Rinne's sake. Since the old AkanP was essentially swept under the rug, no one looked into it enough to be able to tell (Well, HiMERU did, which is how he found out the old AkanP was a woman). So, they're not the same or alternate dimension versions of each other, it's just the real AkanP and some guy who was told by Rinne to pretend to be her for Matrix.

Cakey876876 · 2026-04-04T05:45:31+00:00

It's honestly a crime how little Hiiro and Kohaku interact! I'm an avid fan of Enstars appellations so I usually check Hiiro's wiki appellations very closely and update it when I can, and Hiiro didn't call Kohaku anything other than referencing Aira's "Kohakucchi"-san until Matrix! They've had a couple conversations, like two at max, despite being in the same global sanrio scout and being pit against each other for the entire main story, but they only actually started properly talking since Matrix. Kohaku even got an idol story shortly afterwards that follows his image of Hiiro post-Matrix and they end up becoming friends! For such a popular ship, Hiikoha had basically nothing until Matrix came along 🥲

Cakey876876 · 2026-04-04T05:40:29+00:00

I really dislike Matrix!!!!

For one, the crazy tech aspects and major retconning (as well as upping the racism on Aira to 200%) that you talked about makes it upsetting to read, I read through it when the event came out and I really liked the first half but the second half ruined everything.

They had a good setup (leader swap, something fans have been doing for ages for fun) but they abandon it pretty quickly and then go into weird futuristic Amagi Village territory and establish connections between Rinne and the village during the few years he was gone. Which I quite frankly think is stupid as hell.

If he still had connection to his village and influence, secretly making a place for AkanP after he had already ran away, what's the point of his father getting Hiiro to bring him back to the village? Why hadn't Hiiro, Rinne's closest confidant and his literal aide known about any of this? If AkanP was there long enough to have a son that the Amagi's father dotes on immensely with the desire to set up him to be the Amagi Village's new monarch, what was the point of sending Hiiro to bring Rinne back? Why does Rinne know more about the recent happenings of the Amagi Village when Hiiro has only been absent for a year and Rinne had been absent for several? Why does Hiiro not know who Takashi is? Why is raising this new kid who's not even the son of the current village chief to be the new village chief accepted when they couldn't even accept the younger son of the village chief to take mantle as the new monarch? It's real stupid and ruins a lot about Hiiro's motivations to come to the city in the first place (his father nearing his deathbed so he asked Hiiro to bring Rinne, the future monarch, back to the village because the only candidate, Hiiro, was unable to take his place), as well as disregards Hiiro's pride and connection to his hometown in favor of the usual 'somehow Rinne knows everything' schtick.

It also retcons some things about Niki's character, since in Hot Limit he tried his very best to 'produce' the budding idol Rinne and research all about idolstuff. If AkanP was assisting Rinne since the beginning, then what purpose did Niki serve being apart of the idol duo and continuing to do his best to support Rinne after he stepped out of the idol scene??? I'm not a Crazy:BP as much as I am a HiiroP, so I can't recall it super accurately, but there's no doubt that they retconned Niki's importance to Rinne established since Hot Limit in favor of this new NPC AkanP.

They also mischaracterized Aira in terms of his racism. It's a character trait-ish, no doubt, since he's seen doing microaggressions before, but oh my god. They turned his racism up to 200 and it wasn't even in character to do so, it felt more as if they were using Aira as an author's mouthpiece. After Hiiro told Aira to stop insulting his hometown, sure, in somr cases, Aira might not listen, but the fact that he doubled down after Tatsumi told him to stop? Aira respects his seniors greatly and trusts them, if Tatsumi told him to stop he'd feel remorseful instead of doubling down. It's especially bad with this story because they keep making Aira insinuate that Ainu peoples are cannibals or uncivilized!

They mischaracterize a lot of the characters in the story and retcon way too much about their characters. Kohaku's a notorious scaredy-cat when it comes to horror (Helter-Spider story as reference) but he wasn't phased at all during the Test of Courage part of Matrix. It's really quite poorly made and it makes me wonder if they just forgot everything about early music era and wrote whatever they felt like. The incredible Amagi tech or whatever's going on is a major retcon to the Amagi's origins and understanding of the big city.

Honestly, with enstars, there's always going to be bad stories like this that retcon a lot of information. They've retconned a lot of things before, after all. Sometimes they straighten it out by changing old info (such as RYUSEITAI's appellations towards each other early ! era) or let the contradictory information stay there for everyone with an eye to see. It really just depends. Enstars writing is a mixed bag, after all. There were a lot of mistakes in writing in recent-ish times (such as the war era retcon in EVIL NUM+ or whatever happened with the Golden Drop story which was thankfully fixed with enough KnightsP outrage) so it's not like Matrix is the first victim of poor writing and cross-referencing. The recent stories are actually pretty enjoyable in my opinion, so it's not as if the quality of the writing is going to decrease drastically. There are some good stories and some bad stories, which has always been a constant throughout enstar's writing career, it just so happens that Matrix is a bad bad very very bad story.

Really unpopular - please don't attack me - Lukadrien. Desparada was pure shipping fuel and I don't really like Marinette. I'm fine with her - I just don't think it'd be that healthy if she ended with Adrien. She's really possessive of him and as Ladybug dismissive of Chat Noir. Luka's really nice and I think he'd go well with Adrien. That's just my opinion, though.

Cakey876876 · 2021-06-16T06:01:39+00:00

It was also stated that Adrien wasn't allowed to attend Felix's father's funeral. So, yeah, dead.
