is love live the star wars and idolm@ster the star trek of the idol anime? discuss.
love live is babbys first idol anime. all flashy and bombastic. meanwhile idolm@ster is more of the thinking man's take on the idol life.

Or in other words; yes.
>>156583171
It's not even flashy or bombastic, it uses bad looking CGI to make the dancing scenes, iM@S uses real animation and is a thousand times more bombastic, as they are actual idols performing in stadiums in front of thousands of people, and not these pleb "school idols".
I personally prefer Love Live over idolm@ster but I can agree with this one.
Idolm@ster is a better idol anime, but I found it a little boring, while Love Live is more energetic, since Love Live is about school idols, and im@s is about professionals. Love Live has that tipical school slice of life feeling, but with music, and idols. imo
tl;dr: yes
the cg got better with sunshine and even had a pretty good fully animated dance scene (although that was for the rival group) the fully animated dancing scenes in iM@S were such a tease and didn't last long enough.

When will this meme die?
>>156583894
when it stops printing money. besides it's been around forever. predates memes and your underage ass.
Umi Sonoda is the idol of the thinking man!

the drama had a bigger impact in iM@S. Chihaya tabloids had more of a holy shit factor than Honkers slap.

Idolmaster was quite thin in the concert and dancing departments. Concerts only happened in a few episodes and were often only short and stretched with crowd and scenery stills.
LL had a steady story progession.
While Idolmaster's episodic nature was quite the uneven experience. For a Chihaya arc you also got the incredible bad Hibike and Makoto episodes.

Both are the best idols in their franchises.
>>156583115
Pretty much. On a side note: Is Wake Up Girls any good? I'm thinking of watching it.I'm going to AX in LA and my friends and I want to go to the Idol concert and WUG is the only show I haven't watched.
>>156584547
It's okay.
BD version also fixed many of the uneven and rushed tv parts.

>Makoto
>bad
hold the fuck up. that makoto date episode was one of the greatest things ever.
To me, the more SOL stuff compared to drama shit the better. Hence, I like LLbesides Sunshinemore than Idolmaster

That would be Cantonese Nico

765 had a progression. you saw them be literal who's performing in the sticks to big time top idols.
>>156584728
We only saw how they were supposed to be super popular suddenly.

do iM@S bros feel the same way about CG? among the LL fanbase there is a pretty hard line drawn between μ's and aqours (probably just friendly banter). i like both.
I like them all.
I tried Idolm@ster. I like the songs better than LL, but not so much for the characters. There aren't really any characters I disliked that much in LL (including Sunshine). I just couldn't make it past a few episodes of Im@s without getting bored.
Is Idolmaster KR the Roque One counterpart?
>>156585017I'm a big im@s fan and openly dislike CG. Seems most im@s fans have accepted the them though.
>>156584804
pretty sure the formation of Ryūgū Komachi brought the attention to 765. then they won the sports festival thing too.
>>156585128
is it a prequel and do all of them die in the end?
>LL
>im@s
I suggest try watching an idol anime that isn't just character selling.
>>156585448
is this some sort of dark horse battlestar galactica contender?
>>156586184
More like Andromeda after they didn't care about anything anymore.
