I wonder, if Twilight and pals are S.Rare+ (6 stars)

@Tythen  
I think enough already support the Three-Letter, Two-Digits.
 
You can have more fun with 2D anyway.

@LanceOmikron  
She is good, though it’s best just to call her Rise because of respect.  
But for something “realistic”, how about AKB48?

@Roy-of-Asturia  
Indeed, idols are quite a big deal. Personally, I’m a fan of Risette:
 

@BrokenEagle98  
In case we are not biased, the bulk of the animation is done in the Philippines, along with LPS, then is later distrubuted to the Canucks there to finish their tasks.
 
 
@Hippodrome  
Idol singers are still serious business in Japan.

@Dig Dug  
@Roy-of-Asturia  
Oh boy…
 
The monies I would straight-down lose if that sort of acquirement/collab really happened. Bad enough I support 765 Pro with a great portion of my funds.

Alia Braze.
 
It is expected from a subscriber living close to the Far East just a flight away.
 
 
@Dig Dug  
If Bandai can get their hands on MLP, by which unfortunately bushiroad is the current licensee.  
And TakaraTomy already have their own idol singer anime franchise.

Or maybe it’s an alternate character interpretation where she likes to do high-temperature soldering.

@TheAntiCat  
It’s developed by America (Hasbro Studios), and animated by Canada (DHX Media), so I would consider it made by both.

@James Rye  
oh god what an idea

Idolmaster girl Aria Blaze - dayum! <3

@LanceOmikron  
Ah, okays. It was just weird to me that the rest was spelled correctly.

@TheAntiCat
 

@LanceOmikron  
“that cool pony show that the americans are making.”
 

@The Twelfth Doctor Whoof  
Personally, I kinda find the L/R switch to be delightfully quaint in cases like this. It’s hard to explain why.

Oh Japan. The R/L barrier rears its unfortunate head again.
 
Shame, since other than that, this drawing is as perfect as the other ones.

@Smudge_Proof  
Well, think of it this way:
 
You’re an artist living in Japan. You had english classes back in high school, and your grades were decent, but you’re not anywhere close to being fluent. Though you have had a bit more exposure to it than usual by way of watching fansubs of that cool pony show that the americans are making. You even thought that second human movie was pretty cool, especially the villainesses. What was that one with the purple hair called? Oh yeah, she was アリア ブレイズ (A-ri-a Bu-rei-zu).
 
So, you decide to make some art of them. And then, you decide to go a bit further and make mock-up trading cards, with english text (because english text is cool). But… even if english text is cool, it’s still not easy to parse those weird symbols. You’re still used to Hiragana and Katakana. Bu-rei-zu… you guess that the ‘rei’ syllable is spelled ‘RA’. After all, your cursory research showed that ‘rei” and ‘ra’ (with a long ‘A’) are pronounced the same way, so you guess that’s right, or at least close enough.

@LanceOmikron  
I know that. But that spelling won’t even show up on google search for this character, so what I am interested in is how does one happen to misspell it like that?

Well I wouldn’t really consider it a fail, with the r and l barrier in Japanese and all…

@Smudge_Proof  
Well, it’s really quite simple: Based on the fact that this comes from Pixiv, I think it’s a safe bet that the artist is Japanese.

How do you happen to type the name in a Japanese pronunciation? o..O
