Wataru: yellow lily, meaning "liveliness", but also "lies" and "uncertainty"

YOU HAVE ALL 5 OF THEM ONSCREEN, THEN SHU AND KANATA TURN BLACK
THE NEXT SHOT IS JUST WATARU REI AND NATSUME LEFT
REI AND NATSUME TURN BLACK AND DISAPPEAR TOO
DO *NOT* TELL ME THIS IS SYMBOLISING THE EXECUTIONS. I WILL EAT GLASS
Origin ★ Altered Sings of the Starry Sky
Scout! The Eccentric 'fine's
The Five Eccentrics will be forming the temporary unit "Altered" (orutaado), and ex-fine will be "fine-O".
La Mort emcee talk for Happy New Ensemble:
Rei: "Happy new year, my dear Ritsu. Your oniichan is so very happy to be able to celebrate the new year with you like this... ♪"
Ritsu: "Hello, security? Can you hear me? There's a suspicious person on stage, please deal with him."
Roommate voice lines: Natsume and Leo
Natsume: Fufu, with a knight and a magician... If only we had a demon king, this room could be turned into a fairy tale.

do you guys know wataru is singlehandedly the reason we can't use the same character more than once in our teams?
I think it was something like this hair has too many bones in the 3D model so if you had a team of 5 watarus the game wouldn't be able to handle it

紅月の絆
Shu: rose (the colour isn't shown, but perhaps red), meaning "passion" and "beauty"
Kanata: magnolia liliflora, meaning "a love for nature" and "a noble heart"
Y'all the explanation for "ES turning into a zombieland" is that the Tenshouin zaibatsu was developing a supplement, an unknown microorganism got mixed into it and people who consume it lose their sanity + can spread this "diseased" state by biting others
It's Really Zombies
I love ensemble stars but I really want to know how they justified spending 4 months of development time and whatever it cost to get seiyuu to record voice lines (and possibly dancers for the motion capture) of all charas for ALL those exercises for an app that earns them nothing
anyway I'm reading a bit of the 4gamer article and at the time of the interview Akira was still writing the SS final
and he says he's become totally nocturnal.
"Please write in the article, "Sensei was wordless the entire time" "He looks like he's dying even now""
is he ok
Ensemble Training mini guide
I obviously can't make a guide for every exercise, but here's some of the options so that you can adjust your training regiment accordingly.

Today, my son obtained leg strength such that he will definitely catch up to you even if you were to run away, and arm strength such that he will never let go once he catches you. I can no longer stop my son or the developers. I am sorry."

I normally wouldn't do this, but you've all seen how crazily excited I've been for element over the last few months, and this isn't a normal project for me, so...

Message from the Enstars Developer Team (NOT direct TL)

Shinobu was apparently a dark horse candidate that gave Tori quite a tough time 👀
