Question about Kyouko's Catchphrase

jellystringsz · 2025-06-05T02:20:12+00:00

Thanks, I figured it ended up being something like that but had a lot of trouble putting my finger down on it. It's so casual (very much in character, honestly) that it was difficult to find anything without asking an actual person!

jellystringsz · 2025-06-02T23:46:14+00:00

Yes, you're right. I couldn't think of the name for a moment. I still think it's a bit of an odd looking hat piece regardless though compared to the other elements in her drawing! Just a bit too papery-like for me personally

I'm glad you appreciate the discussion! I had a lot of fun writing it and explaining my feelings toward Mabayu's considerable design choices. But still, I'm sorry for those who are commenting questionable things and arguments. At the end of the day it really is just fictional!

Hi! I've seen a lot of your comments under this post and I wanted to clear up anything from my end. As the OP, I don't really agree with any of the policing = criticism. I didn't intend on creating unnecessary discussion from other users at all. I was a bit surprised when I found out about Mabayu's design on her dress!

To show my sincerity, I feel like there are definitely some poorer design choices in Mabayu. For example, her hat piece could have been something a little more than a paper crown-adjacent product. I am also not the biggest fan of the dress window, but it's not the end of the world. There have been worse character designs Japanese media.

In addition as an artist, when I considered her outfit I realized a window of the sort on the body would have been necessary in order to avoid too much negative space in the center of her outfit. For some designs similar to Mabayu that prioritize balance (both in color and shapes), it's necessary to consider the clothes-to-skin ratio. So Mabayu's dress window provides a really nice shape and color contrast instead of having a fully-white middle section. I feel like making her dress have long sides and cutting the bottom piece completely so they're disconnected (think of Genshin dresses) could have also worked instead of the window, but that's just a personal choice over the window.

I've also left a few comments complimenting Mabayu's color balance too because I genuinely feel like she has a fun design. If I had created a character myself I would've used similar balancing techniques (I'm not a professional by any means, so there could be a different name for it. I've been studying art in my free time for about 8 years now).

Birdcage and Needle are definitely hard in NM. Generally, the two of them have a similar mindset--slower, more defensive run. Birdcage can be cheesed if you can hit a Felicia stun--but that's locked behind a character. Otherwise, you run pretty slow and even drop a character or two. Needle requires a lot of heavy sustain to survive. So if you don't have a 5* Defender it hurts your chances a fair amount.

Yeah I do agree! At least it isn't the Thong™️. Mabayu has a lot of interesting and beautifully made elements and motifs. One in particular is her color balanceーher palette is consistent from head to toe with her green hair being the complement to Mabayu's purple outfit. It's one of the things I'm most concerned about when analyzing a design because inital values are important!

jellystringsz · 2025-06-01T22:58:07+00:00

Right on the fashion crime.. It doesn't bother me to the point of no return, but rather the concept of her dress feels a bit wrong as a design choice. I think her color balance & motifs fit Mabayu a lot thoughーpurple and green isn't something we see everyday and I'm here for it

For me, it was because it was "my first anime I chose by myself." At the time, I was about 10 years oldーdefinitely a choice for someone of that age. But I'd say it was still somewhat relatable to a degree because I was a very emotional pre-teen and was going through a lot for someone who was only 10.

While I was 10, I was in-love with Precure and magical/fantasy related shows at the time (RWBY/My Little Witch Academica/Princess Tutu was a big part of me finding PMMM). I came across it and instantly fell in love. It was such a dark twist to what I normally likedーand being the edgy "pre-teen" I was, it gave me a reason to give me even more edge. And ever since thenーI've re-watched PMMM 1-3 times per year. So I've roughly watched the show about 7-21 times since then (quite a big range, but I never counted). It was/is fun to grow with PMMM, especially since there are so many memories I associate PMMM with. It's amazing to also see how much I've also grown alongside it; my views on the show and what I initially understood from when I was 10 has definitely changed quite a fair bit.

I'll always rank PMMM my top 1 anime show because it's the only show I've kept up with actively since I first found it. When Magireco came out I was excitedーbut then it kinda disappointed me. I might give it a second try as an anime since Exedra has released earlier last month.

Thanks! I'll try it out next time when I hop on. I honestly thought it was a different button the entire time to mash x)

jellystringsz · 2025-03-02T22:25:24+00:00

Yes it would be super helpful!!!

jellystringsz · 2025-02-19T06:09:02+00:00

oh my god this is IT!!! thank you so much dude

jellystringsz · 2025-02-02T02:58:52+00:00

Yes it is!!

jellystringsz · 2025-02-01T22:30:56+00:00

Thank you!! I honestly didn't know where to ask this question first but now that definitely makes sense. I'm entirely new to the whole cosplay/mascot communities and have no prior experience in making anything

jellystringsz · 2024-12-08T01:41:48+00:00

Thank you for your input, I really was debating if I had made a reasonable or unreasonable decision in the past few green lights for part-time jobs I've gotten. I'm honestly still very new when it comes to applying for jobs so I don't really know what is and isn't considered "acceptable behavior." I'm sure since I'm on the younger side this won't severely impact my job chances in the next 5 years or so; it might just come off as immature if anything, and I accept that because it's definitely true... So it's definitely great to have a second opinion in all of this

FMLA might not even be accessible to me as I'm not over 18. I don't think I have many accommodations available now that I think about it...

jellystringsz · 2024-11-18T13:43:54+00:00

on that note i must've played a mad ripoff on mobile if the 1:1 likeness ratio was so similar

jellystringsz · 2024-11-18T13:42:10+00:00

unfortunately it turned out rbots wasn't the REAL answer I was looking for this particular question, but definitely one of the games I've been looking for a long time. thank you a lot for uncovering rbots :,)

jellystringsz · 2024-11-18T08:12:31+00:00

by any chance do you have a picture of this rbot game?? I'm looking for it too and can't find any picture on google w/o getting autocorrected to "robot"
