Aaa there’s so many!! Westfes is definitely my fav out of them all, I cried SO many times from the shymurr scene in the night casino to when shyjames looked like he was about to cry learning the shard voluntarily returned to Murr because shylocks bar was more important to him than his research, moritika’s “you are already a splendid western wizard” when miss witch said she wanted to be a wonderful wizard, and the way moritika and taitomurr’s expressions light up when Antonio remembers rustica and acknowledges Murr for being the Real Murr hart. I cried so often in that first 1.5h or so I was like aw yea this is what mhst is all about LMAO. The actors are so so good at conveying things without words through facial expression and body language, it’s definitely something I reconsidered the importance of in daily conversation with others.

I personally enjoyed the backstage for fes2 more than fes1 despite stage wise preferring the opposite. Haven’t watched fes1 backstage in months though so my memory is foggy of it but it felt like fes2 had more shots of the rehearsals and there’s a noticeable Amt of movement that I find gets lost in the stage because of all the accessories they’re wearing 😭😭 I think they probably knew much earlier that yumeto might not be returning (had a major relapse in health right after fes2 ended) which is why they were able to include quite a lot of shots yumeto was in compared to fes1 where taito didn’t particularly get more scenes </3

Tarou and Ayukawa getting in a heated argument over which type of Calpis drink was better and trying to drag kamikei into it was a fun silly episode all three of them talked about on their respective FCs😭 Back in July when kamikei was a guest on one of Ayukawa’s variety programs they talked about it again and he said they were scaring yumetsuka back then😭😭The North group don’t usually hang out backstage so I thought it was nice they were Getting Along😂

Iwkny personally talking about how he spent a lot of time backstage with judai and kamikei (and you can hear them talking in 2 of his FC videos taken during the run lol) but the backstage documentary having a lot of shots of him with haruchan and wagoshin was such a surprise!! I adored when he’d imitate wagoshin’s way of talking and when he’d sit up properly when he noticed he was being recorded😭😭😭

Idk if it’s just me but I felt like fes2 had more backstage scenes with the side characters than fes1 did. Tbf rento is a baby and daigo and shogo especially were playing with him a lot and raitas best friend haruchan is in here but I wish we saw more of miss witch and okasan😭😭😭

All in all I think the personal relationships the actors have with each other bring so much more depth to their portrayal of their characters bc they genuinely care about each other a lot. So much love goes into the work and it’s felt deeply from the audience

I have a kenjasona for yume activities and general wizard interaction delusions (arts and crafts session with the Flores brothers and Riquet would be the dream) but not any ocs that are wizards or were always from the wizard world </3

Story building is not my strong suit so there isn’t much lore to My wizard world story and oc that differs from how I normally am but it does take place ~2 summers ago when I started getting reinvested in mhyk and hadn’t finished reading ms1 so while I knew somewhat what would happen towards the climax and end from spoilers I didn’t know the full details on how Akira and the wizards managed to prevent the artificial calamity from fully succeeding and that would be a character development moment (that I haven’t properly planned out yet </3).

The main differences personality wise is that miokenja is a more open to saying what’s on her mind and a bit (?) more selfish because there’s a lot of things I think about but won’t say outloud irl or even on public SNS in case it could cause trouble but in a world where no one knows me it wouldn’t hurt to start over more honest to myself :”)
One thing that doesn’t translate well is that since I read mhyk mainly through the game itself most of my delusions are in jp and miokenja uses ojou kotoba (kinda like what the witch that appeared in the west in ms1.5 spoke like) solely because I thought it would be funny but the irony in that is that I’m not good at formal jp let alone OVERLY formal jp so that leads to funny situations where some wizards can tell I do not normally speak Like That but go with it because it’s funny, others who can’t tell and think there is nobility lore from the sage’s world that she is trying to hide for some reason (please I am just a broke uni student. No, an electric toothbrush is not something only royalty have the means to obtain, yes if you came to my world I would buy you one etc etc)

I don’t share a lot about my kenjasona because I am shy and there’s not a lot of deep character building compared to other OCs I’ve seen since she’s really just suppose to be me and I take forever to draw the ideas out but I’m happy to answer any questions about her. Thank you for asking!

THEYRE CUTE!!! Out of all the wizards standard fits theirs is the closest to what I wear casually (minus the cape obviously lol) so I like their fashion a lot LMAO. I do like snow a little better because his hairstyle is cuter to me and easier to draw so I doodle him quite often but I think white’s voice in game is more soothing to listen to. I am not very good at explaining things so if you were hoping for a deep analysis from my perspective I cannot provide that but the moment I started caring deeply for them was the part of the first stage where Akira apologizes profusely for failing to summon the new wizards and said to him ‘we have nothing but gratitude to you who believed in us and did your best for our sakes. But this time, wont you believe in yourself?” (paraphrased). It’s not in the game story but it’s one of my favourite scenes in the whole stage that made me appreciate mhyk and want to see how it was played in the og (bitter it wasn’t from the og story, I think it would have been nice for akira to have failed the first time when he wasn’t too serious about the whole sage job but took it more seriously here. Also the parallel with the hand holding scene in the library during another time akira was feeling very lost would have been so impactful, esp now that he knows and cares about them a little more :”)
