tasteful rhythm choice, decent visual design, p groovy movement-wise. not bad !! i dont think that i can rly criticize much here at the scope of the map itself
beyond that, the one thing i will say is i think most edm is usually really hard to express feeling with in maps (and that this map like a lot of others struggles with that). its not a fault of the genre or map(per)s necessarily and more with the emotional experiences that edm tends to prioritize: conviviality, exhilaration, immersion (being "lost in" and "letting go"), and spontaneity.
these are things that mostly end up being a natural part of Experiencing Osu as a whole (regardless of the song!) due to the game's inherent choreographic nature. at least to me, osu is very dopamine-inducing already from the feeling of movin your arms and hands within space in time to the beat of the music.
the thing about it is that the contexts edm was built around come at the cost of expressivity allotted to the mapper. being designed for mass gatherings and with the intent on being as *accessibly* danceable as possible (i.e. perhaps at the cost of a wider range of dynamics, rhythmic qualities, and sound palettes), it takes a lot of effort to convey that Vibe effectively when osu is a much more individualized and almost directly-communicative setting?
i know all of the above probably comes across as very pretentious and wordy, but ive been trying to articulate some form of this idea for a while to explain why maps of this kind don't *do* something for me like other maps--i think its genuinely a matter of song choice limiting possibilities that would be more evocative of a wider range of emotional experience. thats just me tho ^^
visual style of heroine diff reminds me of midge so its goated i think
fuuuuuuck this is fun
song-carried a better mapper would have done something so much better w it

has a lot of merits to it but its so trolled in some sections that it hurts the map in the long run

kami no kotoba if it was good
02:59:701 (3) - felt that in my soul
weekly random mapset omdb (Big Mapping) has decided to evaluate collectively
moments of clarity just absolutely eviscerated by hard inting
i think this style of map is just ruined for me atp
so fuckin expressive love this 1
its alright
nice
at least angelic 2 the core is bad enough to be funny this shit just blows
there literally is no other good way to map this highly overproduced pop punk song
this map is nuts regardless soooo so overlooked
best old map usage of svs ever???
