You'll never know, because we don't really know either.

I remember that being mostly Moekki's fault insistence, somewhat aided and abetted by A22, though I'm to blame for the specific argyle pattern and colors (If you have to eat poison, be sure to lick the plate clean, and all that).

I prefer to believe that it contains the KS OST.

Is Shizune's Act 2 opening called Three Stars because of the love triangle between her, Hisao and Misha?

Hopefully not like the box in Se7en.

Although considering it's Kenji, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

Perhaps it's a quantum box Kenji uses to converge the disparate time-lines of Yamaku Academy; resulting in a reality-altering paradox that threatens to cause a complete collapse of the space-time continuum and combine all of human history and achievement into a single, monochrome, unassuming square where it shall remain for all eternity.

I can't help thinking there's a subtle innuendo there.

Is it just me or is Rin's face animated a lot more/better to compensate for a lack of arms to express herself? I keep rewinding scenes to watch her expressions change. They seem more complicated and expressive than the others somehow. Maybe it's in the eyes. Probably the eyes. Ignore this part. Or don't. Up to you.

Also, Draco Malfoy's head is in the box. Harry Potter got fed up with him, murdered him, and had to haul ass and hide at Yamaku to avoid a life in Azkaban. (Can you tell I enjoyed that series?)

Which brings up a point: Is Kenji supposed to remind everyone and their grandma of Harry Potter, or is that coincidence? His scarf even has the red and gold! :lol:

Better, as in compared to the other KS character sprites? It's just credit to kamifish's ability if you feel that Rin's visual expressive range is particularly good. Every writer-artist pair did the planning for the sprite sets between themselves, so there was no intention to make Rin's expressions stand out quality-wise compared to other sprites. Of course it could be that me and kamifish approached the expressive range differently than the others or just happened to have a couple of good ideas, but I can't actually know that.

I think the one thing that makes Rin seem so much more expressive than the other sprites is that she's the only one who has two sprites that look both at Hisao and at the other person who is talking. The conversation between the Nurse and Hisao in the hallway after he meets Rin for the first time is a perfect example of this.
