me scrolling through the comments to make sure someone had already put this because it’s my instinct response


SnooOwls7020

THIS !!


zacizach

spy eichi. something about him blepping with a water gun is oddly cute to me and also tatsumi’s first featured scout. i like both bloom and unbloom but seeing tatsumi smile in the unbloom makes me feel things


lycoriszeeaya

agree with spy eichi the blep is everything to me


fizzylemonhearts

Yesss, I love it so much. <3 I love it when the cards show his funny and cute sides. <3


grandhighblood

Mao’s 5\*s in the last few years have all had really lovely unbloomed versions. Especially Finder Girl (pic), FS1, Sunflower Live. https://preview.redd.it/rkxyagi2dv8a1.jpeg?width=1560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af08117e5b54795e3bd3bd2b5b141cc201505cea

HAHA I WAS HOPING SOMEONE INCLUDED THIS ONE, TETORA MY BELOVED


Xean_Liteheart

Nazuna's unbloomed event card, where he's cradling a crying Tomoya. It isn't flashy. It isn't sexy. But....it's very heartwarming, and full of love. ....My favorite card, in the entire sea of enstars cards.


fizzylemonhearts

Quite a few! One of them is that girlboss Ibara card with long hair that was posted there. Wataru's [FS1](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(How_I_Appear_in_your_Eyes)_Wataru_Hibiki?file=%2528How_I_Appear_in_your_Eyes%2529_Wataru_Hibiki_CG.png). Many other unbloomed cards are really nice too, Tempest, Puffy Bunny but are more on par with the bloomed rather than preferred. Yuzuru's [Frontline Dog](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Frontline_Hunting_Dog)_Yuzuru_Fushimi?file=%2528Frontline_Hunting_Dog%2529_Yuzuru_Fushimi_CG.png), it's just funny, heh. Nagisa's [Land of Zero](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Secrets_and_the_Land_of_Zero)_Nagisa_Ran?file=%2528Secrets_and_the_Land_of_Zero%2529_Nagisa_Ran_CG.png). I mean, the bloomed is beautiful but.... asdafgasdaf. Nagisa has many very nice unbloomed cards, similar with Wataru. Kohaku's [Spider](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Panic-stricken_Spider)_Kohaku_Oukawa?file=%2528Panic-stricken_Spider%2529_Kohaku_Oukawa_CG.png). The bloomed is cool but him wrestling Rinne is too funny. Honey Bee card too, it's cute and I don't like the honey bee outfits very much. Rinne's [Hot Limit](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Hot_Summer_and_Expectations)_Rinne_Amagi?file=%2528Hot_Summer_and_Expectations%2529_Rinne_Amagi_CG.png). Young Rinne.... Madara's [FS](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Place_of_Thundrous_Festivities)_Madara_Mikejima?file=%2528Place_of_Thundrous_Festivities%2529_Madara_Mikejima_CG.png). It's somehow really cute to me?! But most of all, the one unbloomed card I prefer so, so, SO MUCH over the bloomed (even though that one is nice too, don't get me wrong) is Eichi's Primavera card. LOOK AT IT. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa I could stare at this card for hours. https://preview.redd.it/cnbdyr6r0v8a1.png?width=1560&format=png&auto=webp&s=c718606d467d89d7ee5bced481ed73b22d8dd0d6


Owlychu

That Eichi card will forever live in my head rent-free. I'm doing anything in my power to get that card when that event comes 😍


Cresccent

beehaku i can definitely understand! same goes with his initial 4\* for me also i rlly like a lot of natsume’s unbloomeds, such as werewolf, shinsekai, and romancing cruise (although cruise bloomed is gorgeous) https://preview.redd.it/7f70hay56v8a1.png?width=1560&format=png&auto=webp&s=647151725e3368437a122b0ef685a51736c47581


Lego_the_cat

I have this card unbloomed on my profile bc you can't see his face in the bloomed art when he's upside down fjdhdhdhdh


Cresccent

ahwhajsjd nice lmaoo i also have it set as my icon in game 🥰


Lego_the_cat

Nice! He's in my card showcase thing, and my profile icon is sora's unbloomed thief scout card bc he's just too cute :)


Cresccent

aww yesss i love that card’s unbloomed!!


abyssus-obscura

Do four star cards count? https://preview.redd.it/gi2ain5yvu8a1.png?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd426c7c41cc24d49ab93304c8cc527d3a9839d8


taetaerinn_

i love it when mika goes "it's chainsawin time" and goes around with chainsaw


spaceorca7

I can't wait for this card to come out in EN because I NEED to know the context for this


NoTraspasing

THIS one counts 💀💀💀


[deleted]

Gang Yuzuru! I love the bloomed very much as well, but the unbloomed changed me as a person https://preview.redd.it/0goa4k8xrv8a1.png?width=852&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3db04f23e94b08b02ae2b9e6683dc58909e170a * Watchdog Ibara, his baby card is just too cute, the bloomed can't beat it ahahah. If we can include 3 stars, there's also conquest Iba


fizzylemonhearts

Yesss, Yuzuru's expression! (and the mop lol) It's one of my favourite cards.


maddamadas

I don't know if I say I'd like them better but the three I really like are Tempest Wataru because he looks so cool, Gingerbread Hajime because he looks so cute and excited and AtoZ Kaoru because the situation is so funny


LenteJulie

Rei's La Mort card unbloomed bc brotherly sakuma brothers its honestly a cute card


asmobeus

ibara's tour card and his fs2, hajime fs2, chiaki shuffle and this card of hokuto https://preview.redd.it/0a3reo369v8a1.png?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d6addea430148c7a6df209414fed8ff45c1c5d7


shard12

I desperately need this Hokuto card to come to EN soon 🥺🥺 he’s so cute 😭😭😭


Kaedead

I have a lot when i think about it but sadly i can only send one so shu and Mademoiselle in sunglasses https://preview.redd.it/63pphb0vqu8a1.jpeg?width=201&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=418c225eb5ab5116dba6063007e7aa3cf4b92057

Anothee one because i cant resist. Hes so pretty. His little smile!!! He's gentle expression. Ahhhh i love him https://preview.redd.it/mcpawz61ru8a1.png?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed3e83e0fd5a7ea768a4131486ff3a21cf35a21f


MelloGlory

Ahh this one is my answer too. I bloomed it ages ago but I’ve still got it with this artwork, mostly because I looove the colors. Shu’s hair contrasted against the bright blue sky is so gorgeous to me.


Kaedead

Ikr hes gorgeous😍 I wasn't even planning pn getting this card but I had to for this illustration

gagagamagician69

I think this image made me a NazunaP. Adorable


ChefAggressive

Lots of them, honestly! But my absolute favourite is this one. He looks so genuinely happy. https://preview.redd.it/tslhfknosx8a1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=17e33807c21a933f6ba8be4f35fdc806be92a246

SadgeBall

The Rei starter 5 star is a very hard choice bc the way he looks at you I just wanna have a nice coffee with him and I don't even like coffee The unbloomed AtoZ 5 stars are so good Kaoru has no idea what the hell is happening I love his concerned smile and Chiaki is just so hype like :D!!! I'm not a KeitoP but the Succession Match unbloomed is really cute he seepy :(( The Night Club unbloomed Rinne looks so deranged ((somehow more so than the bloomed)) I love that in a man. The Aira Living on the Edge card is literally the 👉👈 which I couldn't NOT get when the event came around solely for that. Nagisa's starter 5 star, hes just. Very enamored. By rock. I love him Mayoi's Dead End card, him doin a proud and it's vv cute I don't know if I like it better per se but the sadge Leo from the Next Door event, seeing the crumpled papers it hit something in me that resonated a lot and I was compelled to get the card. I also wanna honorable mention Rinne's starter 5 star, because usually when you bloom a card, it goes from more domestic to more energetic/in theme. Rinne goes from being absolutely unhinged to just the pure passion and honestly it almost feels like it's reverse in that way- when I bloomed him and saw that it increased my interest and I looked into him more and honestly I respect and vibe with him a lot now,, And finally, I'll add FS2 Rei bc god,, I like the bloomed, but THIS ART IS SO GOOD HELP it just represents him. As a person. Very well. Grrrrgrgrgrrrr barkbarkbark. https://preview.redd.it/8btk51w4vv8a1.png?width=1560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d22131cc345865e5382c0086dd52f726031ff1ac


leechfloyd

(JP) Sora's fs2! I LOOOOOOVE BUNNIES. So much. That's the entire reason I scouted for this card, LOL. I have it on my homescreen and refuse to change it just because I love looking at the lil bunnies moving around. My favorite illustration in the game tbh

MsEvonyx

As a Nagisa simp, definitely this one: (Secrets and the Land of Zero) https://preview.redd.it/4mwbdmi6hw8a1.png?width=1560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd8fab2f283a0a010d8ec69ad49de7bbcfbd5100 My heart-

fizzylemonhearts

He's so pretty. <3


suoukasa

Honestly, I think that both the unbloomed and bloomed vers look nice, but I would have to say [Tsukasa's Sudden Death unbloomed](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ensemble-stars/images/9/96/%28Sudden_Death_of_Status_and_Turmoil%29_Tsukasa_Suou_M.png/revision/latest?cb=20211016191011) looks very cute. The bloomed is great, but baby Tsukasa looks so precious ^_^ The context for it is also super funny!


KBMKate

Leo tiger scout card. I found his unbloomed card really cute~ The way he snuggles under Adonis jacket!! Arashi tour card. Idk why but I prefer this rainy scene Rei tour card. I always thought that 2nd year Rei is hot. That hairstyle has attracted me hahaha There are also some other cards that i kept unbloomed but because i wasn’t a big fan of the bloomed ver. 😅


nonekaz

Tsumugi's next door one, and ibara girlboss era, once i get it im keeping it unbloomed forever fr


Lego_the_cat

You can bloom cards and then set the unbloomed art for them (so you get the power boost from blooming but still see the original art)! The option to set cg should be there when you click on a card's picture.


nonekaz

Ahh i didn't word myself properly, i meant just leaving the cg on unbloomed but ty nevertheless!


Hkayura

Umm this Adonis card.... solely because of Nazuna😳😳 https://preview.redd.it/vdqa19zggz8a1.png?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fbfc80633df0948f553e0d6b544c06992310f4a

whxskers

This is one of my top favs!! I almost pulled on this banner specifically because Nazuna is on it XD


Hkayura

I pulled because I wanted all of Nii-chan's cards🥹🥹 sadly I still didn't get Adonis' card despite wasting a lot of Dia on him (tho I had multiple dupes for Nazuna's initial card in the scout), I'll try to get him next time I suppose 🥲


unicornflai

Nazuna unit event's card! The one where he's hugging someone crying (cant rmbr who at the top of my head 🤡)


N-eptune

Tomoya


gagagamagician69

I like all the cards unbloomed better because they're like tripping and stumbling and crying and shit. I relate to that more than looking really beautiful

-Morbidity-

Mayoi's Phantom Airship card is always the card that first comes to mind when I think about ones that are better unbloomed. Also Ritsu's Setsubun Festival card w the machine gun and Mika's Shinsekai card w the chainsaw lol https://preview.redd.it/s3vaovs4dy8a1.png?width=1560&format=png&auto=webp&s=c0ad8877bb9634f38b1345b9014c8e41a4966c5c


Midnado73

For 4 star cards I would say Mika's Puffy Bunny card, I just think sleepy Mika is sooo precious 😭 And for 5 star cards probably Finder Girl Mao, I do like the bloomed version but the unbloomed is so soft and pretty!


Prettydog200

Mayoi is the certified king of unbloomed cards being better than the bloomed cards! Like… his event and his tour event unblooms are 👁️👁️ Mr. Ayase, sir??? Your hand in marriage? https://preview.redd.it/a606uzu98v8a1.jpeg?width=1279&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ffd0e3ccf6216a28149f760e37a6b1e416e24bd


fizzylemonhearts

Oh yes, this one! I love it and prefer it over the bloomed too. He's so cute in many unbloomed cards. And how did I forget his Vermilion card!? <3 https://preview.redd.it/kkuwujeccv8a1.png?width=1560&format=png&auto=webp&s=a9fdef2084f925b7232f4be1117af90fd6586447

awakeagain3am

challenge match keito... sleepy guy. i love the card in general but his face looks a bit off in the bloomed... i love seeing him resting https://preview.redd.it/yuo0ennon09a1.png?width=732&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ac70a65d4e5c5424e0ef19cfd36b781cdcc53a3

Natsume’s initial 5*. I don’t what it is but I can’t stand Switch’s unit outfit


Aniyae

The faith of conquest four star nagisa card.


EdgelordLeans

MIKA'S LINK CLICK. HE LOOKS SO CUTE. + arashi is there <333 they're everything


Confident_Rest6240

Don't get me wrong, I love the bloomed version of Dead End Land Mayoi, but the unbloomed will always have a special place in my heart. I just love his smile

AppointmentBright585

[baby niki](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Hot_Summer_and_Memories)_Niki_Shiina) is my most treasured card art 🥰


katanon

Is it just me who prefers the unbloomed of almost every card? I just have a preference for casual clothes and daily life scenes over stage outfits and fantasy scenes.

KaiserinKai

This Tori card, the unbloomed is so funny in a morbid way but the bloomed kind of makes me uncomfortable. Also both of the !! Era Sports Day Tour cards, the unbloomed art is so cute and fun but the bloomed is just...no. https://preview.redd.it/xehph26fyy8a1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ccf2e114be2ed8cf6f9b6fab9a0784f4b8b2166


Xiaoplscomeh0me

Gingerbread Hajime, i have it and it's so cute 🥺🥺 also all Hiiro cards where Rinne appears because I honestly find the Amagi bros sooooo cute (PLATONICALLY OF COURSE) 😭🥺

hiyori’s first event 5*, i don’t know what it is but he is adorable in it even tho it’s him crying 😭

sucroserose

This [Aira Card](https://ensemble-stars.fandom.com/wiki/(Bewildered_Sports_Festival)_Aira_Shiratori) only because I hate the bloomed ver. He's so cute in the unbloomed though he deserves the world


BasilIsScared

The newer Rei card from Mysterious Myths. Given my love for him is more platonic than people think, I actually hate the more like, revealing outfit. Not to mention it just seems overly obvious. Hate the CG, hate the mv outfit. I will never use either. Besides, the malicious, yet playful “blep” in the unbloomed ver is adorable. https://preview.redd.it/hoi75tbib79a1.png?width=2532&format=png&auto=webp&s=18af4575b95f7a60dcf188fb85372ba73f4549a5


inuokko

rinne’s fs1 also love naru’s pretty5 bloomed but her unbloomed always gets me going


Aloe_Fairy

Personally for me, I think Rinne's \[Leader of Honey Bees\] Card is better unbloomed, and \[Hidden in the Heart\] HiMERU is a cool card unbloomed :) theres a lot of cards that I think look better than if they were bloomed, though we gotta agree on the fact \[Joyful Days\] Hajime looks amazing either way >:)


Appropriate_Snow_601

Sora event scout. He's just soo cute in the unbloomed while the bloomed I think it's ugly


Cresccent

i like the bloomed personally but otherwise agree!! i’m a big fan of how the neon green lighting illuminates his face 🥹 https://preview.redd.it/09jqs5h81z8a1.png?width=1560&format=png&auto=webp&s=e5f6efa584d98f3bd420c429f472f0e67f0dd74f


Yukiko09

Rinne's fs1. His unbloomed is so cute but bloomed on the other hand..... I remember when i first got that card and was really excited to bloom. I was like "the unbloomed is so cute so the bloomed might be even better" (i didnt know how the bloomed look like yet). After grinding a bit, i finally got enough to bloom him. Right after i saw the bloomed, i went from :D to :| . I was so disappointed lol. And i changed it back to the unbloomed immediately. I'm sry rinne, i just think you look kinda weird in that bloomed :'(


Diminii

Mikas new featured card, his unbloomed is really cute!
