Well this wasn't too bad what did /m/ think of the best entry in the im@s franchise?
that's not puchim@s
Sequel based on SP (Project Fairy led by a Shuu Shirakawa clone) never. Even a fake movie trailer would do.
I honestly thought it was terrible after a certain point. Them OPs though.
>>13456476
That's too much oppai on that loli
Imber best boy
>>13456476
The shadow on her stomach is bit odd. What is casting it?
The problem was they basically pussyfooted and tried to have it two ways, and pleased no one. Mechafags were upset by the pointless Idolshit that pretty much vanished after a certain point. Idolfags were upset by the different character designs, personalities, VOICES, mecha, literally everything.
They should have gone all the way, full fucking Macross ripoff/Symphogear and had the idols actually be idols powering the robots with song.
>>13457458
>pointless Idolshit that pretty much vanished after a certain point
That's backwards though. There wasn't any idol stuff at first, then later in the series Haruka actually becomes an idol for a bit, but it's not even played as an important thing. All it really does is allow the opportunity for that scene where she finds recordings of her TV and radio appearances in Imber's database. Which was pretty cute.
I thought this was a pretty good "bishoujo mecha" show. I don't care about the Idolmaster franchise though, this is the only part of it that I've consumedaside from doujins.
>>13455443
>im@s franchise
I'm not sure what you mean by this.
Of course Xenoglossia is the best entry by default. What else is there?
Greatest love story ever told.
>>13457669
For an average person, they could go dive into the anime (2011 or CG). Puchim@s is good too since it can stand alone on its own.
For a /m/echa fan, definitely Xenoglossia. Also, iM@S has quite a number of covers of /m/ songs.

They also have songs that could easily be mistaken for an OP to an actual /m/ show.

The action's not great, and the stories a little silly but it is in fact Greatest Love Story Ever Told, I liked it.
>>13455443
BD fucking when?
I want to rewatch the greatest love story ever told in good quality.
>>13456476
It was terrible every time Ami was onscreen. Haruka is olev.
>>13458048
I always wondered, is Hiems female?
>>13459628
Blue/White > Pink/White >>> Pure White
Evil Imber a shit, Chihaya a worst taste in color
>>13459647
Batshit insane Chihaya was by far one of the highlights of the show though.
As someone who really likes Mecha and Idolm@ster I can't really bring myself to watch it because I know I won't enjoy it.
>>13459747
DO IT
>>13459754
Maybe if I can find it in something higher than fucking 240p.
>>13459632
It certainly has a more feminine silhouette than the others. Even has a reasonably recognizable facsimile of Godannar-style boobplate, if you can spot it.
Also the only one that comes packed with a spike launcher... which actually makes acute sense as both an asteroid-busting machine and a unit built specifically to take down the other Prometheus units, come to think of it.
>>13459747
Don't watch it then.
>>13457312
Hiems best girl
>>13459747
>Mecha
Have you watched any recent Sunrise Wild Rides like Valvrave or Cross Ange (even KitaEri's character are the same)?
>Idolm@ster
Xenoglossia songs are nice. Character designs are more of meme-tastic overhaul (Chihaya and Yukiho who are supposedly most conscious about their not-so-nice figures suddenly gets cow-tits) than anything. Different VA helps to keep your mind that this is actually a different thing than a direct incarnation like L4U OVA.
>I can't really bring myself to watch it because I know I won't enjoy it.
Just think of Xenoglossia as a one-time small gig by 765 Pro (which they didn't do again until Theatre is established) and Kuroi screwed them from the shadows like dubbing over their voices by other idols (one of the girls in the sports episode is voiced by a Xeno Futami) so as hinder their growth/popularity.

>>13460246
>>13461800
It's not that I forgot, I just chose Minami's rendition of Mitsuboshi with a great Walking Macross MAD (That New Gen joke!) to go with it.
I do agree that Minami's songs seems to be suited to /m/ shows.

>Mujin Gattai Kisaragi OVA when
Didn't they release like a novel or something about this?
Aside from Shippu Xabungle, Dunbine Tobu, Honoo no Sadame, Time for L-Gaim, Melos no Youni, and Yume Iro Chaser, what else Sunrise mecha anime songs were covered by the Idolmaster cast?
>>13462471
The Xenoglossia cast covered a bunch of sunrise songs
As for stuff that isn't sunrise, Chihaya has shangri-la, Rin has Soukyuu, IIRC Haruka, Hibiki and Miki covered Tip Taps Tips
There may be more without the idolm@ster label and in the radio shows
>>13462522
If you are good at reading Japanese, there's an ever growing list of cover songs. And there are quite a lot of /m/ song covers

The first link in >>13457855 has Arashi no Naka de Kagayaite, Believe, DREAMS and a couple of image songs from SEED.
>>13462537
Still waiting for Hikaru to get voiced and have a cover of a toku song preferably a duet like Ohayou!! Asagohan REM@STER-A.
A trio with Ranko and Fumika would be fine too.

Pity that there are some songs sung during the radio shows that doesn't get a CD release.
Well, there's mention and all but an i/m/@s thread without an actual Kisaragi video feels lacking.

>>13458630
Would it be a completely separate show like Xenoglossia or will it pull a Muv Luv and Honkers get's sent into a grim derp sci-fi settingwith tomino at the helm?
>The Xabungle cover
That was absolutely horrid.
>>13465657
Masaki Endo covering Binetsu SOS feels the same too. I guess it's because a male doing a cover of a song originally done by a female (or vice-versa) makes it sound weird.

Is it's head a cannon?
>>13469418
It's a pomp, Imber's a badboy.
>>13468887
I think it's just aesthetics.
IIRc, as asteroid breakers all the Modenkind models have are the punch guards/crush claws attached to their arms. I forgot what Nubilum has to fit its stock-standard hand manipulators, Epimethus just has really sharp claws and Hiems is the only one with ranged weaponry in the form of a KP launcher.

not only the instrumental is awfully generic, but the performer's voice is rather grating.
To think that it is in the same album as Yui Horie's Melos no You Ni.

Machico (VA for ML's Tsubasa) did covers for Invoke and Believe from Gundam SEED/Destiny as part of her cover albums.
>>13473421
>Chihaya did Shangri-La while Rin did Soukyuu
>Both Miki and Tsubasa did Believe
>Haruka did Sore ga, Ai Deshou
Any other Red idol did a cover of an /m/ song? No cheating with Ai doing Good Luck for You since that's not even a cover.
