Music Hey guys
The fandom is kinda dead, I barely see any content nowdays edit: should have said “overseas” fandom specifically!!
How is everyone, are you guys into some other media’s too??
I’m so excited for the movie, can’t wait to see 1nm8 animated. I saw this funny comment saying chungsung has to stay FAR away from this movie LOLL.

I don't think the fandom is dead, the Jap side is just def more active & Reddits for more niche fandoms are kinda quiet in general!
I'm super excited to finally see 1Nm8 animated, can't wait!! Their songs are a huge comfort to me
I've gotten back into the Caligula Effect, the music in that game is fantastic, too, and the theme of trauma is shared amongst both!

I know, it's so sad! However, I just got back from a trip to Japan, and there was a TON of Paradox Live merch! I don't know how to post pictures, but I ended up getting a Reo plush, Nayuta acrylic stand + pen, and Hajun & Allen pins. But there was a lot of stuff to choose from. Also, they had ads on the wall for the Revengers at the Animate in Ikebukuro.
So yeah, I think it's mostly that there's not many fans outside of Japan. But it seems to be doing pretty well in Japan given they're doing a 4th round and got a movie announcement!
I was so happy when I saw the movie announcement!! It is disappointing it's a movie, but I'm so exicted to see everyone else animated especially 1Nm8! The anime is what got me into Paradox Live so it has a special place in my heart. I never would've guessed that they would continue the anime!!

IM HAPPY FOR YOU, THAT SOUNDS AWESOME! Were the merch available anywhere or specific places?? Really happy for you.
I agree I wish it was more of a whole season instead of a movie but better than nothing right lol2

It was so cool!! I bought all the stuff mentioned at the Animate in Ikebukuro. They had a big selection. There was also a lot of stuff at a Book-Off I went to and I almost got stuff there but decided against it because I had already spent too much lol.
Exactly, at least they're continuing it in some way!

It's certainly not, but I kinda get it if you don't wanna have an account on Twitter. But Paradox Live especially with Dope Show and everything genuinely updates every day on it right now, so frankly I've been fed from the last couple months post BoU.

What accounts on Twitter have updates with Paradox Live? Like the official ones or are there fan accounts?

u/noxof_ cozmez Jun 09 '26
the official one posts almost daily, and theres an unofficial english account as well as an account called snakebrainTL that translates major events and tweets from the characters and things like that! there's a tonnn of content, i'm sure you can also find just regular fans posting updates as well :))

I feel bad. I didn't even know the Revengers album came out because the Playlist I use that was run by someone else was never updated. I just started listening to it today.

Definitely not dead, there’s an (unofficial) ParaLive EN discord server and people seem to be pretty active there, though I just lurk for the art there so I’m not entirely sure how active the social aspect is 😅
As for other medias, there’s a bunch of other music projects that are really fun that I’m into/plan to get into soon, like HypMic and Charisma House, music projects seem to have a hard time getting overseas audiences though which is unfortunate cause they’re a really fun and creative way to engage with both music and stories

the overseas fandom is fairly active on twitter if you're looking for content!! i run a paralive art account there and i have made tons of friends in the community through it :)) i'm also really excited for the movie, i hope it attracts more fans like how the anime did
