Persona Sketches by Kazuma Kaneko

Long post today. I recently picked up Megami Ibunroku Persona Club, a fan book that includes 12 of Kaneko’s rough sketches for the game’s original Persona designs. Here’s scans of them that I did over a couple of days, they were printed tiny so these were the best that I could get (there are also textless versions in the link).

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1waKTLvlDJb3DJAHWOUSgYVUEyXYiBiUO?usp=share_link

I’ll provide translated commentary too... translated by me, so it might not be that great. I’ll give my own input underneath as well, but I won’t be translating the handwriting on the art. It’s hard to read, for one, and it just outlines basic features and colours, likely for sprite artists to use as reference.

‘Vesta, the goddess of hearths in Roman mythology. The shape of her hat is somewhat reminiscent of a jester's, and her lack of legs is a distinguishing characteristic. Her entire body is covered in leather’.

Vesta also reappears in P2 EP, and is Yukino Mayuzumi's initial Persona in both games. You can also spot Vesta behind some text in the Persona Original Soundtrack booklet here.

‘Gozu-Tennō, deity of the Gion Shrine in Kyoto. According to some legends, he his sometimes equated with Susanō. The horns extending from his mask and intertwining with each-other are quite impactful’.

The cape is meant to be coloured red... definitely inspired by Spawn. Also in the Persona Original Soundtrack booklet, here.

‘Aizen-Myōō, the love deity of Esoteric Buddhism. She can transform sentient beings' lustful desires and troubles into spiritual enlightenment. Buddhist statues often depict Aizen-Myōō with the face of a scary-looking man, but the female image used here is perhaps the most human-like’.

Kei Nanjo's initial Persona in P1. Also in P2 EP, with a couple of additions to her design. Aside from her heels and long, black coverings, it’s essentially P1′s design replicated underneath.

“Lakshmi, the goddess of beauty in Hindu mythology. The protruding back of the head looks a bit like an alien. The rubber material used in these designs comes from Kaneko-san's favourite clothes”.

Not in P2 IS, but she does reappear as a sprite in P2 EP, with different colours. The head was definitely inspired by the Xenomorph from Alien.

“Kali, the goddess of war in Hindu mythology. The protruding design of her breasts is quite striking, but their bellow-like shapes are less noticeable in-game”.

Also seen controlling Maki in the 'Dolls' artwork.

“Shiva, the god of destruction in Hindu mythology. Both Shiva and Kali had different rough designs than the versions shown on page 4”.

The art on page 4 is just the finalised art of Shiva and Kali. The designs are the same as they are in the sketches, I think they just meant the art is different.

“Garuda, the bird god of Hindu mythology. The cape, pose and mask are reminiscent of old-fashioned anime”.

The anime in question seems to be ‘Science Ninja Team Gatchaman’ from 1972. Thanks to @RustyVanBurace on Twitter for pointing this out. Notice the G on their belts, which I suppose stands for Gatchaman (I haven’t watched it). Garuda also has the G on his stomach, but in this case, I guess it just stands for Garuda, lol.

“Vishnu, the main deity and god of creation in Hindu mythology. He has appeared in commercials and other media, so you might recognise his face, but few people actually identify him as Vishnu”.

Here’s a link to the commercials in question. He probably has the most art of any Persona in the game, which might be why the only text in the art is his name. There might have already been public material that the sprite artists could have used for reference, or maybe this art was done earlier on, and Kaneko didn’t think about outlining colours just yet.

"Durga, an incarnation of Kali. Her hat-like mask and the design of her clothes, which seem to be made of a rubber material, make for one of the most daring outfits in the series”.

Yukino Mayuzumi's ultimate persona in both P1 and P2 IS. If anything, it got even more daring in IS, with robo-hands cupping her boobies and being used as high heels.

"Shōmen-Kongō is prominent god in the Kōshin cult. Kōshin-tō monuments can often be found along roadsides. He is the initial persona of the protagonist, who you will see many times during awakening scenes. He has somewhat of a Tokusatsu design".

Better known as Seimen-Kongō. The name means 'Blue-Faced Vajra-Yakṣa'. I know next to little about any Kōshin stuff, so don’t trust my translation for this one particularly. Sometimes he’s depicted with three monkeys, as seen below. The monkeys are the origin of the phrase “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”, which is why one has a mask over their eyes, another has a mask over their mouth, and the last one has... headphones, lol. Shōmen-Kongō has a tail in the art below, but not in the rough art.

On the Tokusatsu note from that last sentence - I don’t know enough about Tokusatsu to guess what it’s from, but the face, including the lack of mouth, looks like a mask in particular. The yellow lines going down his body also look like something from Ultraman.

"Urvashi is a prominent Apsara (celestial nymph) in Hindu mythology. Her design strongly expresses the dancing aspect of the Apsaras”.

Cool design, but she’s not all that notable in-game. She’s meant to be the ‘main’ Apsara, so it’s surprising that the only other game she appeared in was Majin Tensei II.

"Hanuman, the heroic god of Hindu mythology and the original form of Qitian Dasheng. The only motif remaining from the monkey figure is his tail. The shape of his head is quite familiar...”

Last one! AKA Sun Wukong, Seiten Taisei, Son Gokū, etc., you know the drill. The shape of his head is quite familiar indeed, since it comes from Ultraman. Ultraseven, in particular. Also notice the similar plated design on the neck and shoulders. Thank you AtmaFlare for finding this dude (or on Twitter, @atmaflare).

^ Is this Kaneko’s magnum opus?

Hi cutie! So I love Krishna but I don’t understand why ISKCON treats women like they’re inferior. That seems pretty uncharacteristic of Krishna tbh. I’ve noticed you like to give long replies and I am super excited for that!

Heeeey omg someone actually likes my long answers 😭 thank you!!

I think it isn’t even just ISKCON that goes against everything Krishna canonically stands for, it’s Hinduism in general (and by that I mean brahminism and all the sexist, misogynistic , patriarchal, casteist hindutva ideals upheld in that practice).

I think it’s the phenomenon of organized religion and its branches always treating some group as inferior, usually falling into the tried and tested gender based discrimination habit, and it’s annoying because as much as ISKCON seems to praise Radha (I’m not very familiar with what they do but I know they made up a Radha Jayanti so at least they pretend to like her? Either way she’s literally some OC from texts that are pretty recent compared to the Mahabharat/Harivamsa) it’s all performative, just like Durga in general is hyped up and said to be stronger than Vishnu and Shiva combined but hindu society treats that as a free pass to oppress non-males everywhere.

Like, we all know the dude that took such a drastic step as wiping out an entire clan because they enabled the abuse of one woman (and managing not to kill off her husbands so she wouldn’t lose her family I guess) would never stand for even being worshipped in the first place given how prone he was to giving people the chance to make their own choices and only guiding them however he thought necessary, let alone for the group that purportedly worships him to discriminate at ALL, not just based on gender. ISKCON also has a horrifying ongoing record of child abuse through priests and a lot of fraud in the name of religion so I’d say it belongs in hell. Bet if Krishna were here he’d have made sure of that himself lol.

I hope this wasn’t too long and if it was I’m sorry 😭

#ramble ramble ramble #seriously though asks like this make my day #thank you sweet anon

i just need to get this into words

to take the Gods at face value is to take all humans at their ego and face value!

i woke up this morning thinking heavily about Apollo, , then realizing i had a lot on my mind about the old Gods. i want to share here in case anyone finds this post somewhere deep in the digital archives at any time in the future..

i have dove deeply into hellenistic polytheism, as i have dove into so many other paths of faith and spiritual truth on my journey into the heart. i came across a couple strings of posts that were discussing why traditional greek religion may have disappeared.. and a thread poster said this:

“ Noone really believes that the 12 Gods live on top of Mt Olympus or that Poseidon lives underwater but they try to keep the tradition going. It's like saying "no god really exists, why should I follow the Orthodox tradition (weddings, baptisms and all that)?I always wondered why the ancient Greeks who believed it more seriously didn't just visit the top of Mount Olympus? “

ever since i read this paragraph it has sat with me in profound ways. mostly because there seems to be a multi-level misunderstanding of God energy and Intellect.. . ...

this might be a long read but if youd like to join me..

i both am HERMES when i am lost and i am also calling on him!

i both am ARES when i am angry and i am also calling on him!

.........

when Christians say the word “God” to you, do you picture an old white-skinned man sailing around the clouds, casting down judgement like a distant parental figure?

when i say the word “Apollo” to you, do you picture a handsome olive-skinned man riding around the heavens in his fire chariot to raise and lower the sun?

what do you picture if i breathed the word “Ares” into the air in front of me, or what about “Goddess Durga”?

imagine if you were approached on the street by someone who told you “buddhists say that the buddha is everywhere. go lift that boulder and surely hell be under it like he said!” it is the exact same thing as implying the 12 sit on the mount literally, or that christ can be found in israel..

in fact, one of the temptations of Christ by the Devil was appealing to an easy but dangerous intellectual weakness/understanding of God, and he said this to Christ: “

“If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.”

(if you dont follow christianity allow me to briefly explain: the Devil was telling Christ that if he was truly the son of God, that when God said to Jesus that hed never cast his foot against stone and be harmed, that surely that meant that if Christ flung himself off the hillside that angels would charge in to not let him hit the ground)

this same nightmare of an intellectual take on spiritual BLESSINGS and WORKS sets MASSIVE traps for the young explorers or depressed believers looking for proof - the mind would have you look LITERALLY at faiths where there exists almost nothing but METAPHYSICALLY

i am really deeply confused when people look on at God though an intellectual understanding of “God” so much so that it confines the expansiveness and endless awareness into a mortal form with a name that they believe the Gods would have had to use in order to meddle with our affairs

to the point to where their visual dynamics, name, and sexy gritty stories become like golden calves that stand between us and a Truthful understanding of their Blessed Essence - that whether or not they once had skin like me doesnt even matter - what matters is the same thing that matters in humans - the SOUL and God Essence within all of us . to take the Gods in an EGOIC/face value is to take your fellow friend and human at an egoic and face value... ..

any fucking way im so worked up! but please let me keep going!

if you read the odyssey closely, you can see that the ancient greek people were very faithful and looked to God to be the cause of everything!! when odysseus is stuck on his island, everyone around him is referencing “Posideons wrath” for the stormy seas and how Zeus must have been upset with Posideon, otherwise he would have already freed odysseus..

you can almost directly see this does not literally mean “morpheus is fighting neo” and that zeus and posideon are about to get into it..!!

this means that when the ancient faithful believers looked at the storming sea and thought: gods.. what an angry spirit in those waves. the oceans storming seas and spirit have cost us so many lives. if god were listening to us then surely he would have saved our missing and fallen brothers by now!” which is ironically almost exactly what the conversation between the gods is like in the opening of the odyssey...

posideon IS the storming SEA! hermes IS the lost traveler and the faithfully guided! ares IS the WAR and PROTECTION! the gods do not grow EGO and become characters that perform acts. they ARE the acts being performed.

i both am hermes when i am lost and i am also calling on him!

i both am ARES when i am angry and i am also calling on him!

i both am HESTIA when i am protecting my home and i am also calling on her!

because God is NOT literal! God is within me and you and every single thing mundane or not.. there is nothing that hermes isnt, or that Goddess Durga isnt!

i do not EGOICALLY think “look at me im hermes!” i think “i am hermes.. and so is that wind, and so is that turtle, and so is that bird, and so is that letter i need to send to my family..”

----

SEEING signs of God like Hawks, Storming Seas, a warm oven, Seeing the MAGIC of basic and beautiful life and understanding the God flow behind it ---> deciding to depict them visually

modernly, its nearly backwards.. we look on like this:

visual depiction --> trying to open ourselves into seeing the magic of the every day.. which leaves us feeling so CLOSED and like we are trying to call OUT to someone when all we need to do is call IN!!

Truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing my friend.. the gods did not leave. they did not “GO” anywhere - where are they going to go? where does someone who exists in EVERYTHING... GO?

if you think the gods can leave, or die, or just vanish then you think of the gods egoically. they are always there.. waiting.. for the day the curtain is peeled back for us.. ... for the day we meet them in our hearsts

Bruh . .. lol ......... im losing it. if youre reading this.. thank you. from the bottom of my hermes, christ, buddha, great virgin mary heart..

i kiss u!

my cheeks are red apollo is here im fucking lit lets go !??

if you made it here please tell me. youre the new greek champion !

#remember #i kinda lost it and started channeling but.. once again i cant write this physically!!!#thebook

The Legendary Durga

Chapter 1.1

Patriarca Family Mansion

I took a few deep breaths as I continue to stare at the wooden door right in front of me. When I finally found my courage, I nervously moved my hand to knock at the door.

A room filled with old books. In the middle is a wooden desk, with papers waiting to be signed. In front of me is Guissep Patriarca. A man with power and wealth, respected and feared by people of the underworld, also known as the Godfather.

As expected, just standing in front of him takes a lot of courage. The aura he gives off is no ordinary, just like the demon lord itself. His intimidating presence can make a lion shiver and cower before him.

I walked with my head high and as soon as I sat down, I immediately told him what I wanted to say. The expression on my face, blank as possible.

The demon asked me why, as if ready to kill me. Of course, he doesn’t want for me to leave, after all, I’m the one to inherit the family business. That why I answered him nonchalantly and shrugged as I looked at his piercing eyes. It feels like the gaze of a beast.

He smirked as if he knew what it is that bears in my mind like he could read through my lies. He smiles, widely, ready to take my soul.

The wrinkles that show his age and wisdom, tells me that he is indeed a man that cannot be fooled easily. With his presence alone, he could kill. Is that even possible? Yes, it is. I’ve seen people shake to their death just being close to him. But I’m not one of the people who would back down with mere intimidation.

That ain’t enough.

I lifted my chin, looked at him square in the eyes. Just as one of the Patriarca Family code, never ever back down!

He raised his brows at me.

I was caught off guard but didn’t show it to him. I gulped as the lump on my throat makes me unable to speak. I smiled.

Of course, who am I trying to fool? He knows what’s up.

I stood up and smiled brightly. Telling him I’m not weak.

I said sarcastically, as I look at him faking amused. Then clapped my hands to piss him off.

His face fell to a frown and a visible aggravation is on his face, making him look like a volcano about to erupt. I felt my whole body about to cower, but luckily I successfully held it back.

I added defiantly.

He replies as if to mock me. My face turned sour, I clenched my fist as I bit my lower lip. Is he really saying this to me? He, of all people, should know my reason. Why I don’t want to be inside this hell-hole he made.

I shouted I couldn’t believe he really said that to me. I couldn’t control my anger and took it all out. I felt my whole body tremble from furious.

He looked at me, outraged by my sudden burst of attitude. Of course, he always hated it whenever I acted without manners or class. Grandfather taught me to never curse and to always act like a proper human being, but it's just a part of me. Especially with my mind blank and blood boiling.

I got terrified of his glare, but I didn’t look away. I glared at him just as he does to me, I mustn’t back down or it means defeat.

I was surprised that he just easily accepted it, but at the same time deligted and wary. Why would he suddenly change his mind? Did I say something that would make him accept it?

Looking back, I didn’t.

REDDISH!!!!

Thank you for reading, what do you think? Actually, this is a book that I wrote in wattpad, I just wanted to try putting it in sim 4 story. I’ve always wanted to do it, and since I have so much extra time in my hands. Why not? Lol.

kasautii zindagii kay 25.09.18 lb

don’t expect these regularly. pehli ep dekh rahi hoon toh kar rahi hoon. first impressions and all. will be watching this show veryyyyy sporadically.

also, i went and watched the first ep of the original before this to revive memories and do an accurate comparison.

lmaoooooo i’d forgotten and kinda missed ekta’s predilection to start every show with SUCHHHHHHH gratuitous shots of bhagwan.

show kolkata mein based hai toh mumbai ka siddhivinayak mandir kyun dikha rahe ho?

but also some durga maa shots and the bengali ululation to reassure us ki haan haan, kolkata mein hi hai.

lol just look at the sizeeeeeeee of that “middle class” house.

watching an ekta show after agessssss and discovering all the little balaji quirks are still intact is a trip and a half.

waah re, exaaact same aarti as the original they’re using. nice.

oh i realllllly appreciate the little captions telling us the name of each character. coz this show has tooo fucking many. and i could never keep track of them in the original.

idhar already attempt to establish anurag as hero. ki dekho dad takkkkk is late to aarti, but bhai apna has already started.

MAN THESE FAMILIES ARE TOO BIG. HOW MANY DAMN KIDS YOU PPL BE HAVING??????????????

oh ho ho shekhar has a cuteeeeeeeee smile.

mohini ji toh abhi bhi 2002 paro waale hangover mein hain.

i really love this actress (shubhavi chouksey) tho. she plays balance of bitchhhhh and weepy bits quite well.

also lol i still remember her “mihirrrrrrrjiiiiiiii” from kyunki.

really relate with her being 1000% done with her husband. excuse me sir, aap bhi late hi aayein hain. you get no moral superiority points.

this chick is still asleep????????

there’s no fucking way you ppl (prerna, and whoever this jogging chick is) can get ready in time before aarti ends.

oh no. jogger girl does notttttttttttttt look good. waaaaaaaaayyyy too OTT. like not in a fun way like mohini or komolika. in a fire your stylist way.

oh it’s nivedita.

wtfffffffffffff is anupam wearing my god. it’s like one of those silver rescue blankets but in florescent orange. jesus.

anupam still a dgaf cartoon here also. cool.

tapur’s just rolling innnnnnnnn. also lol at her passive aggressive snark smile.

MY GOD THIS AARTI IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. IT’S CLOCKED IN AT OVER 6 MINUTES ALREADY. MATLAB BHAGWAAN KO AUR BHI KAAM HAI MY DUDES, POORE DIN TUMHARI IS AARTI MEIN HI BAITHE RAHEIN KYA??????

also what kinda fucking upper body strength does anurag have to keep going like this????? need no arm workout for the rest of the week.

um prerna, wearing paayal jhumka and all that is not the priority rn. JUST GET YOUR ASS DOWN THERE SO THIS NEVER-ENDING AARTI CAN FINISHHHHHH.

poooore suit se zyaada kapda iske dupatte mein lagta hai.

yeah these two are just toooooooo bland looking for my taste.

blah blah blah waqt issues.

ok so these guys don’t even have to do any work in writing the show. literallly just taking alllllllllll the dialogues from the original, huh.

anurag is a real stick in the mud, taking the ladoo back from his dad. asshole.

yeah i can already tell shubhavi is gonna act circles around the rest of this cast. multiple times.

this show is just maaaaaaade for the negative characters to shine, over the boring goody-goodies.

ok i’d forgotten how irritating erica’s voice is. she sounds like she’s perpetually phlegmy.

CHEATER PRERNAAAAAAAAAAA. original mein phool apne aap gira tha. chal jhooti. koi khaas dosti nahi hai teri bappa ke saath.

weird how they didn’t bother covering up erica’s cross tattoo. prerna sharma would never have a tattoo.

props to daddy sharma for being progressive papa and not seeing beti as bhoj.

blah blah blah humaari beti kitniiiiii pyaaari hai nonsense.

pft moloy and his dumbassery.

lmao “classes. business management.” who talks like this? who says the name of their degree/major when their mom asks where they’re going?

............ which parent in this day and age would resist their kid going to fucking college????? lol get real. a business family like this would push their kid to get an mba for fucking sure.

ok his voice is just as, if not even more, annoying than erica’s.

i won’t be surprised if mohini spits in moloy’s chai every now and then. he’s kinda asking for it.

bhaaaaaaaaaari cgi on college building. achcha hai, anyway script likhne mein paise ki bachat hui hai, toh ispe hi kharch kardo.

prerna’s friend is a horndog.

lol “JERSEY mein dikhta hai” as if it’s something great. kabhi aarti ke time jao uske ghar pe. tab shirtless hota hai.

ok this is creeeeeepy as fuck how all the girls are peeping into the boys’ locker room. just think how it’d look if it was reversed.

pehchaan waala hai toh why is she looking at him like it’s the first time??? yaa pehli baar “jersey mein” dekha hai?

jeeeeee bhar ke taadne ke baad, bol rahi hai “mujhse nahi hoga” lol, ok.

prerna’s friend has acquired another suitably horndog companion.

oh greatttttttttttttttt, casual homophobic statement. first of many, no doubt.

why is this chick getting SOOOOOOOO hyper about prerna/anurag talking? calm thy tits, madam.

OH GOD THEY’RE EVEN RECREATING THIS NONSENSE SCENE FROM THE ORIGINAL, WHERE THIS RANDOM DUDE PREDICTS THE CONVERSATION. IT’S SOOOOOOOOO DATED AND LAME AS A STORY-TELLING DEVICE. CRINGE!MAXXXX

wow, bothhhhh their annoying voices together is truly mind-numbingly grating.

ALSO MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST BORING CONVERSATION EVER.

prerna has the same oh god kahan phas gaye face that i have rn watching this.

ouff random expository dialogue on aane waala toofaaan.

this random bystander needs to shut up with his commentary and predictions. mostly coz he’s so wrong.

annoying horndog’s name is saloni. and she’s being annoying some more, this time towards prerna.

my god who the fuck is like ‘omg don’t tell me you DIDN’T fuck him’ to a total random stranger, in the very first convo they have with them??????? saloni needs to learn how to interact with ppl in polite society.

prerna like sorry, i don’t like rational men. lol good luck with that. it should reallllllly serve you well in life.

AND NOW SALONI’S LIKE CAN YOU FIND OUT IF ANURAG’S STRAIGHT?????? OMFG THIS CHICK IS REALLY ASKING FOR A JHAPPAD.

AND PRERNA’S LIKE OK I’LL TRY. JFC.

seems like papa sharma has seen band baaja baarat too many times, ki anushka ki “vyaapaar aur pyaar” waali baat kuch zyaada hi dil pe le li.

15 lakh ka loan for what exactly?

ouff khudddaari dialogue. itniiiiiiii khuddaari hai toh loan bhi mat liya karo?

yeah mohini is srslyyyyyy just taking all her styling inspiration straight from 2002 devdas.

moloy is getting on my last damn nerve.

the dubbing of this show is really bad. at some points the mouths are just moving completeeeeeeely outta sync with the sound.

i really like prerna’s mom.

yes yes we got it, sabse bada pandaal yahi hai. you have convinced us.

i don’t get ppl who live in india and have zero patience for random things like roadblocks. like.... this is just how life IS here????? stop being a dick. itni jaldi hai, toh fucking get out and walk the 3 extra steps.

ouff prerna and her manic pixie-ness. i’m so tired of this HAR WAQT PHUDAKTI MACHALTI type heroines, who are unable to keep the ~~~excitement of lifeeeeeeeee~~~~ inside themselves and are constantly squirming.

lol the way mohini’s face instantly changed on having to interact with middle class person.

lmaooooooooo i’ve read a lot about erica and her weird way of saying “auntyji” and i finally get it.

.... why is she interrupting mohini’s conversation with her friends with her random tippani on anurag? unka beta hai, jo chaahe kahe; kissi ne tumse raaiii maangi?

damn, that was cold how she just abruptly walked away tho.

chandrika looks like SHE’s the one who came here in the back of a tempo, instead of prerna, who has not oneeeee hair outta place.

lol prerna’s mom is like hmph my daughter is soooo much better.

some more time waste on establishing just how big pandaal is.

pregnancy ki complications ki wajaah se mummy is STILL babying onuuuu, like 25 years later. waah bhai. jai ho aisi moms ki. inka bas chale toh umbilical cord kaate hi na.

nivideta waali actress’s hair and makeup is really doing nothing for her. esp. the hair. it’s making her forehead look bizarre. like i get she’s supp to be OTT, poonam was too in the original, but it suited her. this here is just not working.

some more casualllllll misogyny from moloy.

foreshadowing regarding prerna being anurag’s own personal toofaan.

mohini cannot stand a middle class girl even being within a 10 ft radius of precious baby boiiii. kahin uske exhalation par middle class waale co2 molecules na pad jaaye mere onuuuuuu pe!

they really need to put a flashing images warning on this show.

lmao tapur’s sheeeeeeer discomfort at being made to do aarti. #relatable

mohini’s not happpppppy ki prerna kahin se ghus aayi hai to do aarti. aadat daal lo AuNTyJiiiiiiiii. ab toh yeh har jagah ghusne waali hai.

ppl pray for peace of mind and this dumbass here is asking for a toofaan in her life. well i hope you’re ready, miss thang. coz this is going to be the last peaceful day of your godforsaken life. good luck.

thank god mohini didn’t see raja beta touching the hand of a mere commoner.

ANJALI IS STILL CAUGHT UP ON THIS BS.

AND OMG PRERNA ARE YOU SRSLY GONNA DO THIS???????

prerna, are you trying to find out if he’s straight, or signal to him ki you’re gay???? coz your opening line on how many cute girls there are here sounds like the latter.

.... i can’t believe she just asked him that. srsly. how the fuckkkkkkk is it any of your business?

god her verbal diarrhea. girl please stop.

yeah i really won’t be able to watch this show because her voice is just.... intolerable.

“haan mujhe ladke pasand hai. i like boys.”

pls. i wish. this would be an infinitely interesting show then. those would be some real kasautiiis. trying to navigate indian society in every way as a non-hetero.

“gooooood choice. baaaad luck.”

lol at least he has a sense of humour.

pffffffffffffffft.

i don’t like these nonsense gay jokes but this kinda felt like a befitting reply to her dumbass intrusive question.

mohini really rude af. but i also kinda admire her attitude of not dealing with ppl she doesn’t want to. i wish i had it.

LE YEH PHIR AA GAYI ISKE PAAS.

at least she’s apologizing.

WHAT IS WITH THESE TWO AND ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER. JFC. SO BORING.

some pretty heavyyyyyyyyyyy handed exposition re: mahishasura.

who dis character tho??????

ouff too much dramatics with the sharaab ki bottal phodna and pandit ki commentary and the chunari over those two. it’s alll TOO MUCH.

lo shahrukh bhi aa gaya gyaan dene.

MY GOD WHY IS HE AGING LIKE THIS JFC IT’S LIKE WITNESSING MY CHILDHOOD DECOMPOSE IN FRONT OF MY VERY EYES.

overall impression

production values and all are amazing, as expected. the two actresses playing the moms are the best. the fathers are that special desi dad brand of benevolently annoying. the leads have zeroooooooooooo personality and appeal for me though. they’re just too bland and boring (like, that ~*SPARK*~ shweta tiwari had???? sorely missing.) too early to tell about chemistry right now, but they both really need to work on their dialogue delivery, because my god, it’s truly the worst (esp. erica’s.) the only draw of this show for me personally is mohini and komolika’s bitchery, and that isn’t a good enough reason for me to watch it regularly and put up with the rest of these characters. like i’ve said before, maybe someone who hasn’t watched the original would enjoy this, but i’m mostly meh. i’ll keep up with updates and like, check in and watch an ep or two occasionally but overall, naaah.
