Kirafan gave new life, interactions and voices to a lot characters from series that have ended, and ones that have never been animated like Harumination and Kuro. It's a genuine shame that it's basically ending 1 month short of it's 5th anniversary.

Nearly 5 years in service is barely a bad run for an anime crossover gacha game, if you ask me. But yeah, I don't even remember it even done a lot in the first months when it was launched, and I am honestly surprised it survived for that long.

Also, OG SideM closure ain't surprising, considering they announced the EoS of OG Deremasu recently in the favor of the new games. Seems like Bamco really want people to switch over.

At least Kirafan got an offline version update before shutting down.
