It goes without saying I'm hopelessly dependent on the horse object.

wow yeah, that newest artem ssr was definitely a return to form. it really felt like an older artem card, and it also averted like. several of the pitfalls of the newer cards.

artem wasn't just tossed a new skill, the first card art was mc's imagination. even the reality of the story just had artem as a random awkward customer.

there was an actual story with plot points that built on top of each other. one that actually made sense to the characters, their pasts (attending the same uni), and their personalities.

additionally, the "reveal" from the story ties into their older theme of the red string of fate. fate kept drawing them together, but it was up to them to act on it.

artem was in character! i cannot express this enough!! he's obviously comfortable in their relationship, but not at the cost of his characterization. he's still artem. a relationship wouldn't warp him into someone entirely different. i don't know why year three fumbled this concept so bad, but i'm thrilled to see it fixed in year four.

rosa had personality!! she joked around, reacted to plot points like a normal person, and was the catalyst for the majority of the plot.

they had cute interactions! they teased each other! artem is fascinated by rosa's nail polish and SUCKS at applying it for her at first! i didn't feel like i was reading a phone book with this card, and honestly? a major improvement over the previous ssrs.

no shoehorned fanservice! they just told a story from start to finish without having to fall back on the most abrupt, awkward, and convoluted fanservice.

i wouldn't even rank this card in my top five artem cards, but holy shit the experience of reading a classic feeling artem ssr is UNREAL. it makes me so excited for the upcoming ssrs i haven't managed to find a translation for.

see. spangle showed immense restraint when tetras literally ate his fins. he didn't go after them accept like one of them. blue mystery snail is fine. ivory snail is fine. cories are fine. fuck this yellow elderly snail though.
