Not going to comment on anything other than this, but wanted to point out for at least this specifically it heavily depends on the engine moreso than it just "being ai". Depending on how it works under the hood, individual singing skill might not matter *that* much.

At least we saw from the digest movie that the new kinpri currently in theaters has at least one (1) speaking line for Naru,,,

That's fair!! Just wanted to make sure you knew of it fhsjfhs

Wait I understand they are not quite the same thing due to mostly different cast but just need to make sure are you aware of King of Prism

Is there no way to change the language without changing my non-unicode locale? Its Japanese for me, and language settings just have "Default" with no way to change it

iirc, on the tv rips/version after the first time it's replaced by children who submitted their videos or something like that? I know prichan s2 did that same thing for a while

I will be able to afford it eventually, but since the waiting list is several months minimum, it would be nice to be able to enter said waiting list sooner rather than later/in several months, as I dont have nearly enough in savings right now...

Pretty Rhythm: Lovely, Pop, Cool, Sexy, Feminine, Ethnic, Star
PriPara: Lovely, Pop, Cool, Premium (game only), Celebrity, Natural
PriChan: same as PriPara
PriMagi & AiPri: No more idol types

it is impossible to reinterpret it as a different kind of love- because it was already established as romantic love, essentially making it so there is only one possible deduction left that the viewer can make by eliminating all other options

I would argue it is more unambiguous than some of the times the Pretty Series has used Daisuki or even Aishiteru before. Himari's misunderstanding is key- by having her think she was in love with Himari's brother, she got a confirmation it was romantic love, so when she realizes it was Rei all along
