Ah. Well, then. So with Comiket day 2 starting, the EGS crew have announced something they've been working on for a little while now. More information will be revealed in the year to come. But in 2025... prepare to re-open the item shop. x.com/Recettear_EGS/… #RecettearHD

Okay, I imagine many others are commenting similarly, but aside from everything else, this whole statement is one of the most outrageous things I've ever seen a company post, and I've been following JP biz in particular for about a quarter-century now.

【Notice: Termination of Selen Tatsuki’s Contract with ANYCOLOR】 We hereby announce that we have had to make the difficult decision to terminate our contract with the NIJISANJI EN Liver ‘Selen Tatsuki’ effective immediately, due to repeated breaches of contract and misleading

Oh god dammit, I *need* to get back to work, AND I want to another followup long-thread, but Anycolor just keeps dropping bazingas that I can't help but marvel at. So, an hour or two ago, they dropped this wonder on their Investor Relations page:

So. There is a genuine development on this. Previously, it was thought that maxing out a character in Diablo Immortal would take $50k-100k, depending on gacha luck, as you can experience here. It has now come to light: you need to multiply that by 6.

So if you want to experience just how bad the Diablo Immortal gacha is for yourself, guess what, there's now a way to experience that hell: dimi777.github.io/diablo-rift-si…

okay but: I think people who don't have at least decent experience with how 3D modeling works in games can quite appreciate how *completely mental* this is. Artists dream of getting to do this, much less make it WORK this well.

Firstly: yes, that's a full A2 PDF for a header and exactly two sentences. Secondly, and more importantly: no, they did not release a similar statement on the departures of Yugo Asuma, Zaion LanZa, Mysta Rias, Nina Kosaka, and *Pomu Rainpuff*, arguably the face of the EN branch.

This document is *appalling*. It's farcial. In isolation, I would think it some kind of parody shit-post, if it hadn't been posted to Nijisanji's official English account at close of business hours JST and left up, flapping in the wind, for fourteen hours straight as of posting.

So this is already a very obvious attempt at damage control. Anycolor is aware of some of the negative reaction to Selen's firing and is trying to get ahead of the bad press. Which, of course, this has the opposite effect of doing.

The *best* part is the original post cropping the image just above the point where you'd see she's holding a bamboo flute.

First of all, the thing so obvious it got Twitter Noted: second full paragraph of page 2 leads with "we made the video private". Two sentences later, they call Selen's statements of "management made the video private" misleading.

Anycolor is, in this statement, openly admitting to attempting to harass Selen into putting out a statement saying she was wrong and they were right *WHILE SELEN WAS IN THE HOSPITAL*. Even after all this time, I'm not quite sure how it goes for JP celebrities in such a situation,

As a public relations post, this statement makes mistakes I would expect undergraduate PR students to be able to catch & correct. Mistakes I expect of a socially-awkward sole proprietor streamer. That this came from what is ostensibly a publicly-traded 株式会社 is mind blowing.

(I suspect that one of the "emergency contacts" was with the hospital proper, and they were "unable to come to an agreement" because the hospital staff kept roughly telling Anycolor to fuck off and not harass their patient.)

but in the US & Canada in particular, it is seen as absurdly inappropriate for employers to contact hospitalized employees for any reason save *very* basic health updates, *ESPECIALLY* in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Hospitals also respect and even enforce that privacy.
