星屑☆Shall we dance?

I don't know why it didn't click that they recreated the sprites for the visuals. I'd been so focused on finding the other visuals that I missed the obvious. I was a little reserved about the new cast, but the longer I look, the more I see it. Curious to find out their acting skills.

please wear sunscreen!!! I've seen "fuck the beauty industrial complex" posts about complicated skincare regimens and am 100% with them except sometimes they mention sunscreen and no. no. absolutely not. sunscreen is a wonderful supportive friend who wants to keep you safe, and you should let her do it. throw out all your other cosmetics and skincare products if you want, but keep your sunscreen. and if you're not wearing sunscreen, start wearing it!!!! this is not about terror of aging, this is not about every tiny imperfection our fucked-up culture has made you feel insecure about, this is about protecting yourself from skin cancer. wear the damn sunscreen.

You know I was trying to work out what seemed so different about the new visuals (aside from all the new faces, and everyone being so damn baby) and this put it into perspective for me: these are the most bright, saturated visuals we've had in a loooong while.

They're compensating for depicting one of the darkest periods the Shinsengumi went through in their history. ☺️
