going off other franchises with cards this is probably the time to sell unless youre going to hold them for a very long time
demand is gonna crater once the show ends and people switch over to caring about new characters/cards
but in 10 years when the nostalgia wave hits theyll go for a bunch

It isn't actually because all of HimiPri's cards are playable in Onegai. Primagi's cards saw a huge spike in price once people realized they were compatible with AiPri. Elites are making fun of people saying they're retiring from AiPri and selling their collection cause they've known what a bad idea that is since the transition from RL to Pripara.

The concept alone is pretty interesting, granting wishes to people in town implies the existence of both mob characters and actually a non-school setting, both of which were things Himitsu didn't bother with. That alone is quite the departure just as a matter of setting.

Obviously can't know for certain, but my guess is that the characters are going to be more straightforward this time since the personalities being weird were part of the "secret" theme of Himitsu.

>>286455602
While I agree that it fits Himitsu's theme perfectly more than what Onegai has shown so far, Ichikawa said he gives the characters those traits because of his experience writing with comedy anime so I wouldn't expect the Onegai to be too much different.
>Ichikawa: Sakura was the cool student council president when she first appeared (laughs) Maybe it's because of my background in gag anime, but as I create the stories I find myself wanting to show a side of the characters that is difficult for the average person to understand. I thought it would be more endearing to show that Tamaki had that gag-like side to her.
>Ichikawa: Originally, the "loves cute things" trait was given to us from the game settings, and when I thought about "what would be consedered cute within this world?" I figured it would be stuffed animals. From there we started having him talk to the stuffed animals by himself and use them to talk to other people. Personally, I didn't want to a story where everyone who appears is this "flawless amazing person". It feels like everyone having something a little off about them unique to the character has become what makes AiPri what it is. When we find the character's "funny charmpoint" (TL note: some kind of slang), that element that make us laugh and find them amusing, it becomes easier for us to bring them to life. The moment Subaru first spoke as if he was the stuffed animal, I thought "so you're one of those types too. That's great! That's great!" so he turned out like that (laughs).

There was no point to Ring Hime and Wako-sensei being the same person
There was no point to Wako/Ring and Mii having met in the past
There was no point to Mii being the protagonist of season 2
There was no point to any of the new idles introduced in season 2.

>There was no point to Ring Hime and Wako-sensei being the same person
Even if it was extremely obvious, the ring-wako mystery kinda needs to be there for the whole himitsu aspect of the show since it allows for there to be 2 overarching plot lines; the Sarashina plotline, which results in events like Vivi becoming an aipri, and the overarching plotline of Ring's identity, which allows her to bond with Tsumugi
>There was no point to Wako/Ring and Mii having met in the past
Tying those two together was more of a way to amplify Mitsuki's character arc than Rings. (Wako is really just a walking plot device, so no need to worry about her.) A big part of Mii's character arc is her living up to other people's expectations of her, so giving her connections to what is essentially the Lebron James of Aipri only weighs her down even further, which allows her to be a more interesting character
>>
>>286458217
>There was no point to Mii being the protagonist of season 2
I mean sure, I GUESS, but I feel like the protagonist swap actually works really well since the overarching theme of AiPri is how feelings are conveyed between individuals (this is pretty much what the buzzlume change is after all), and we pretty much gotten a good grasp of how Himari deals with that in season one, so flipping the coin and getting to see Mitsuki's point of view on things feels like the next logical step
>There was no point to any of the new idles introduced in season 2.
This is just straight up wrong. I feel like all of the new idles (especially Vivi, Ring, and Subaru) have simple but great relationship dynamics that only amplify the story's main themes. They all do great with their granted screentime, and honestly, if we just stuck to the main cast from Season one, things would have started to get stale because they can only do the same relationship drama between the pre-existing characters so much before you feel like you're just watching the same thing over and over again. Also, this show is just one big tournament arc, and introducing brand new characters is pretty much one of the main things tournament arcs do.Most of the beloved tournament arcs in shonen anime are beloved due to the new characters they bring in that stick with the audience (The Varia in Hitman Reborn, Tenshinhan in the 22nd world tournament, Gaara, Lee, and Neji during the chunin exams, and so on)
>>
>>286457898
>There was no point to Ring Hime and Wako-sensei being the same person
It's a mirror of Mii's story: when Mii was young she wanted to be an AiPri that makes everyone happy which is the same conclusion Ring reaches when she was younger after performing the 5 buzzlume changes. Meanwhile circumstances forced both characters to go travel and find a new dream to pursue, with Wako it's a literal identity crisis after losing her memories but for Mii it's also an identity crisis since she realizes how dependent on Himari she is. It's important to show another character going through similar things that Mii is going through even if Wako/Rings' is more extreme.
>There was no point to Wako/Ring and Mii having met in the past
It explained why Mii wanted to become an AiPri which is a core part of her promise to Himari. Himari and Mii's promise to each other has been the central plot point since S1 episode 1. Additionally it setup the means through which they'd bring Ring back which was a big part of S2's mystery plot.
>There was no point to Mii being the protagonist of season 2
Himari's story was pretty much done by the end of S1 and S2's story of the two gaining independence from each other while staying such close friends is very much worth telling and realistically could have only been initiated by Mii. Mii's history with Wako/Ring and how that ties into Mii's study abroad plan makes her the perfect candidate to center the story around.
>There was no point to any of the new idles introduced in season 2.
Every single character including the sidles were introduced as the means to explore the different aspects of Himari and Mii's relationship, the writer even confirmed this about Love JuriaL and Jumping Rocket's arcs. You could complain the season is too HimaMitsu focused, but it is that way by design.

I want himari mitsuki tsumugi and Ring to have sex together. Middleway, Tsumugi will attack Mitsuki out of nowhere. They're going to awkwardly kiss until Mii realizes Tsumugi is better than she thought and gives in to pleasure, while Ring sees everything while fingering herself with the help of Himari saying motivational stuff in her ear.

It already brushed up against that point a few times, imo. I still found pic related to be a very enjoyable episode, for example, but it's a clear case of retreading the same exact drama but in silly outfits.

>Himari's story was pretty much done by the end of S1
On the contrary, I think S2 continues Himari's story in a really engaging and interesting way. Like, the Nagisa imouto episode that forces Himari to reflect upon her old S1 fixation with winning and then to move on upon realizing that it isn't important to her anymore is a natural progression from her S1 story that is extremely satisfying from a character development standpoint. Then, as the season moves on, you get more of a focus on Himari suppressing her growing grief and anxiety over Mii leaving until those buried emotions blow up in her face in AiPri, which is a plotline that is extremely reminiscent of Chii's arc in S1, once again reinforcing the mirrored Himari/Chii parallel running throughout the first season.
