Everyone's watching the new Love Live episode.
Post daddy
>>148677145
They're too young to be fathers.
The High Jokers at least.
>>148675314
In other words, terrible
>>148677145
dads can be silly too
>>148677145
Man, that super-speed thread before last really tired everyone out, huh?
>>148677145
Risa please.
>>148674009
Ex-Aid will unite Hikaru and Sana
>>148678024
>>148678096
>Ex-Aid
That looks really stupid.
>>148676749
Sorry, Chie, I'm watching the EVO 2016 stream.
>>148678694
It looks like something from the mid-90s.
>>148678747
I'm watching the EVO Catherine
>>148678950
Good choice
>>148678753
I think the mid-90 had more dignity than that.
>>148678694
The fact that it looks stupid ensures that the show will be good.
Inversely, see: Kiva
>>148679009
I'm not much into toku expect the Power Rangers series I watched as a kid.
Happy M Day.
>>148678950

>>148680412
Any one except Minami. She's mine.
>>148680806
Take her somewhere nice first.
>>148680948
She's poor though
>>148680948
That's a weird bowl shape.
>>148680970
....
>>148680948
Take her to Nice?
>>148680686
Yes, Yuriko! Date Masamune!
>>148681204
>>148681180
Leave us alone, weirdo.
>>148680883
Anya's mine.
I want to take Yayoi tobehind the 7/11
>>148681836
Man I'd never have sex in dirty places.
>>148682131
Missin' out.
>>148682131
It's the thrill of doing it in public.
>>148682393
I dunno.
>>148682526
Maybe in a clean public place.
>>148682131
I mean, she's poor, I'm not going to waste money on her
>>148682654
Like what?
The produce section?
>>148682654
>Maybe in a clean public place.
my favorite's idol classroom?
>>148681836
>not fucking Yayoi in the dressing room of an expensive fashion shop
You have an irony deficiency.
>>148682654
Like the airport?
>>148682774
What this anon said >>148682798
>>148682913
That's good too.
Getting your intermingling love juices flowing all over the desks and floor sounds nice.
>>148683063
We'd have to clean up after though.
You know thinking about it the bedroom is probably the best place.
>/@/ thinks they know what it's like to fuck in public places
>>148682798
during class
>>148683176
If you're friends with the janitor that won't be a problem.
>>148683281
>/@/ thinks they know what it's like to fuck
>>148683346
Not every friend takes it well to find out that you're a pedophile
>>148683356
>/@/ thinks
>>148683469
>/@/
>>148683356
C'mon there's got to be at most...2 people.
>>148683571
you're inflating the numbers very hard there
There's like half a non virgin in here
>>148683696
Let's round it off to one. One person has experience here.
>>148683802
Makes sense, because /@/ is one person.
>>148683886
Correct. We are all the voices and personality in one person's head.
>having a sex drive
>>148683886
But that means /@/ has 1/200 experience.
>>148683989
You're not me, I am you
>>148684002
>having sex
>>148684002
I kinda just do it to do it, anon.
>>148684161
Fucking normies.
>>148684141
You are not him, nor am I you, but you are them.
>>148683356
I don't think so, I know so.
>>148684002
Iori's pretty cute
Too bad she's a bitch
>>148684340
Shut up Mio
>>148684265
Syoko has sex with her friends.
>>148684431
As a futa.
>>148683989
>>148684141
>>148684304
Deepest lore
>>148684431
In front of me.
>>148684367
She's not a bitch.
Just tsun.
This is my wife.
>>148684569
Clasic tsuns are high level bitches
i wonder what it'd be like if someone decided to post some cute sachiko content
>>148684702
>3D wife
Damn normies.
>>148684569
Well, then I'll un-bitch-ify her
>>148684773
Good thing it won't happen
>>148684708
Sounds like you aren't man enough to handle her
>>148684702
I see you Nee-san!
Wew 2.5d sweaty idols are almost just as good.
>>148684912
No, I'm not.
I'm aBoy
>>148684702
She's so attractive. So 31. Wow, consider me Megumi Happy!
>>148684968
>2.5d
Asians aren't 2.5D, you racist shitlord
>>148684783
If anything people who talk about 3D idols/VAs like that are even less acceptable than those that are strictly into 2D. They're the ones that get blamed when someone brings a knife to a fan event and stuff.
Then again real normies probably don't even differentiate.
>>148685045
Would you be Rio's?
>tfw you get carried away and roll 5 times even though you're supposed to be saving jewels
I just want to get Mayu.
>>148685256
wow
>>148685196
Keep trying. She's all that's left. If you don't get her, the only option is suicide.
You know this to be true. Roll for your life.
>>148685256
What is that ugly thing
>>148685256
What a cutie.
>>148685368
Well, here I go again
>>148679174
A general rule of thumb is that the worse the suit looks, the better the show will be and vice versa. There are exceptions to this rule, but it's usually accurate. Ex-Aid looks even more retarded than Fourze, and Fourze was the best Heisei Rider show to date, so everyone's got high hopes for Ex-Aid.
>>148685256
Sachi I belong to you, you belong to us.
>>148685196
>He doesn't have every Mayu card
>>148685540
But Den-O was the best Heisei.
>>148685196
Mayu can get a limited SSR
Why are you rolling for her normal SSR, just wait till she gets one and you might get the normal one as opposed to neither
>>148685368
>>148685478
Just rolled again and I only got her R card. I got two okay cute SSRs from my rolls but it wasn't enough. Looks like I'm back to saving up jewels again.
>>148685478
on your own
Goin' down the only road you've ever known
>>148685196
Why would you even roll for non-limited SSRs?
>>148685649
Neo-Heisei, then.
As far as I'm concerned, it's a tie between W and Fourze.
>>148685660
I couldn't resist. Mayu's been on my mind and I needed her.
>>148685698
By a single thread.
I'm getting tempted to roll on cool day for a shot at Asuka, Kanade, or Fumi.
>>148685835
Anybody else spend his SSR ticket in an idol only to get her (multiple times) in later rolls?
>>148685256
Arisu's getting a second SSR, right?
>>148686068
Me with Sae.
Fuck Sae.
>>148686050
I'm really tempted to roll for Asuka, but I only have 5k jewels. It's probably best for to save for her limited later at some point, especially since scouting tickets may come back at some point.
But I can't stand not having her SSR.
>>148686380
Unlikely
>>148686457
Every day you don't roll for her is another day without her.
Roll.
>>148686457
Hang in there anon, your time will come but that time is not now
>>148686380
Probably yes, unfortunately. One day you'll be rolling for a good idol but then you'll get Tachibana.
>>148686627
You won't tempt me, Chihiro.
I hope.
>>148686457
Roll like crazy, today is the day.
>>148686380
It's gonna be hard.
>>148684702
It's a shame they went with Frozen Word instead of After School Party Time for the medley.
> I'm usually the eldest, but Miyu-san is there this time
Kaede just takes it for granted that she'll end up in the top 5 now, doesn't she.
>>148686740
How can you say you love her if you won't even roll for her?
>>148687192
She'll most definitely win next year, despite tons of Mio shilling
I work at Namco so I know
>>148687192
well if the legion of walletP's are gonna keep paying to keep her there
>16 hiromis
>2 hajimes
>>148687451
What are you complaining about?
>>148687526
I like complaining.
>>148687593
dumb chieposter
>>148687656
I knew it.
>>148687656
SAVE YAYO
#PuchiLivesMatter
>>148687353
Mio event that gives tickets and Mio gacha confirmed for being during the next elections. And by elections I mean all of them until she becomes the CG.
>>148687193
By sulking to myself about not having her.
Limited Chieri sucks. I like her but she's not pink and doesn't match with the rest of my cute SSRs
>>148688094
Her outfit is quite ugly too.
>not rolling every day
Fine, @non. Time for thehardway
>>148687880
Sulking has never got a man his favorite idol's SSR. Roll.
>>148687683
he is a faker
>>148687451
>5 Hajimes
>2 Hiromis
>>148688219
You've heard of Hard Tachibana
Now get ready forHard /@/non
>>148688249
Shut up jobber.
They really need to work with this guy. He's so stiff it's almost distracting.
>>148688171
I actually like it more than her regular SSR. It just doesn't match with the team so I have to leave her out.
>>148688219
But I do already roll everyday Chihiro!
Sometimes twice a day!
>>148688358
lewd!
So next (new) SSR is either Sanae or Yuko yeah!
>>148688652
Yumi is more likely than Yuko.
>>148688652
It will be Ayame.
>>148688358
he's got the next live to figure things out. 2nd times a charm.not counting chokaigi because fuck ups seem to happen often over there
>>148688258
RNG at work.
>>148688751
How so?
>>148688970
Because she's in passion jewelries 3.
>>148689036
Oh nice.
>>148685387
>>148689372
>>148689372
Sachiko you get deep kisses
>>148689431
I made that Sachiko!
>>148689724
I'm gonna make her too. Make her love.
>>148689372
I want to commit crimes with Sachiko like fraud, espionage, and perjury!
damn. sachiko really is the cutest.
Sachiko being bullied!
>>148686457
I was super fucking disappointed when I rolled three 10-rolls when it was Asuka's rate-up gacha and didn't get her, but I was glad that her SSR just wasn't limited. So I bought enough for four 10-rolls during the first Cool SSR rate-up gacha hoping to get Asuka, or really any Cool SSR that I didn't have, and I got her on the 4th roll; I flipped the fuck out so much, someone nearby had to ask if I was okay.
Be strong, believe. And spend for a girl that's worth it. Or go and kill a Goddess if your rolls don't go your way. Whichever method works best for you.
>>148689828
Those are crimes that will get you both in jail.
>>148690076
Cute even when being bullied!
>>148690206
Yes, and?
>>148690202
>And spend for a girl that's worth it
>Nino
anon...
>>148690202
I suppose I'm off to go kill Izanami again, then.
>>148688351
there is nothing wrong with jobbing to your (l@li) idol
>>148690674
Idol Izanami when?
>>148690896
Marie was cuter.
And Marie was shit.
That's why Izanami hated her guts.
>>148690896
> Tan
> School swimsuit
> Those jelly things
> The cheek blushes
Is that supposed to be an Akio Watanabe-style Izanami?
>>148692341
I believe in humanity.
>>148690624
Her name is Asuka; and my name is Producer.
>>148692341
P-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>>148692341
Make me into one of those too, Miku.
>>148692713
Do you have what it takes?
>>148692813
We'll have to find out.
>>148692813
>no Walther PPK
>>148692341
I remember when those two hated each other.
>>148692986
It was one sided.
Prostitute idols are ok.
>>148693937
And should be encouraged.
>>148693937
15 years old.
>>148694081
17 years old.
Are these really acceptable ages?
>>148694215
Well it's the best age for middle-aged man. That's kind of how the business works.
>>148694215
I don't know about Slutzuki, but Yukiho is most certainly an educated prostitute
Chihiro appreciation post.
>>148695706
It looks more like a Karen appreciation thread to me.
Happy anniversary to SideM.

Okay!

It is so. I should know.

Treats for Mocho.

She'll get fat.

Is there an idol into dreamcatchers? Maybe the hippie one.
> Suddenly Ten-chan in Qualidea Code
Wasn't expecting that.
>>148697538
>Maybe the hippie one.
Doubtful.
>>148697760
Yup, and I believe it's the only anime she's in this season and she's a minor character.
>>148695928
kissing for you. and mocho.
>>148698102
Aoi is cute so it's okay.
>>148698312
What the fuck
>>148698423
It's a parody of the Kekkai Sensen ending
The sizes of the characters seem off though
>>148698423
Marmalade and sugar song.
>>148698471
Ranran looks about eight years old, height-wise.
>>148698557
Well, she's also an eight year old brain wise, so it makes sense
>>148698557
My eight years old.
>>148698519
I don't like Marmalade.
>>148698617
Rude.
Fuck yes Kai.
>>148698774
Gonna splash on those.
All those angel-kuns.
>>148698774
Fuck yeah Flaming Jumping Jalapenos.The name of their unit always escapes me. I'm sure it has the word "Jump" in it. But that's about all I can remember.

>>148701276
The Japanese meme is "del" so.
>>148701232
OFA had a good amount of cute moments and if I recall correctly one of the content patches added more of those moments for free, so I wouldn't be too worried about PS in that regard.
>>148700832
Makes me think ofMuromi-san.
you can still apologize

I really do like Hinako quite a bit. I'm happy to have gotten her SSR.
>>148704406
She probably gets good use of those tissues
>>148704526
I know what you mean hehe.
>>148704526

Eve has gotten a few cards outside the Christmas season before.

As much as people will shit down my throat for saying this, Cinderella girls is the easiest way into the franchise. As much as I would love recommend SP, from experience, a lot of people get turned off by the mechanics, it's kind of an old game.

Everyone gets an assigned idol by someone in the thread and that is your idol waifu from here on whether you like it or not.
You leave your assigned idol, you leave the Im@s community.
This is your assigned idol from here on, starting as soon as you reveal the image.
>>148709250
Easiest way is watching lives, gain an interest for some songs and characters, then go from there to their games.
>>148709250
If they can't get through SP they don't deserve to get into the franchise
>>148709391
That burger belongs to me
>>148709391
Would you be surprised if I told you I already have a waifu, and she is indeed from im@s?
>>148709250
>Cinderella girls is the easiest way into the franchise
This is a good one, he'll regret trying to get into im@s and we'll have less shitposters.
>>148709517
You're not allowed to call her your waifu until you've gotten into the series.
>>148709517
Alright, who is it then
>>148709524
He's right though, CG has an easy game to get into and has a lot of translated material.
>>148709517
>having a waifu you know nothing about
I bet it's Rin
>>148709427
Well, with this attitude, I'm glad nobody here bitches about Love Live being more popular, nobody caring about iM@S, and not getting English ports. Because lowest common denominator is just plebe taste and all.
>>148709712
This post makes no sense
>>148708854
watch W, OOOs and Fourze, then watch the Megamax movie, they are related
starting with the current or last season is good
avoid Decade, Wizard or Kiba until you get how KR works
>>148709812
Hikaru go away.
He's talking about idols.
>>148709637But I have devoured all of CG content.I just never went beyond CG.
>>148709517
That was outside the Im@s community.
If you want in, then >>148709391 is your idol now.
You have to take your assigned idol to post here or the mod will ban you from the thread.
Even the mod has an assigned idol (pic related).
Although he wasn't happy, he plays by the rules like everyone else.
You have to as well or you will be reported.
>>148709705
SS is probably one of the easier games to get into, not CG.
I wouldn't really consider CG to be one of the easier games to get into

>>148709404
I started with SP and the 2011 anime and have no intention to watch a single live since I don't care about the VAs beyond their roles as characters. I don't understand why anyone would want to get into 2D idols just to watch people that aren't those characters sing on stage when they could just have 3D idols and skip the middle part.
>>148709959
I meant Desesute. I just over generalized it by saying CG because I honestly think CG is good for entry level people interested in im@s
>>148709250
With Basic Moon Knowledge, any of the Mobile Games are actually easiest to get into.
If you can import shit, then the Console games would do.
>>148709524
Nice meme, but in all seriousness, CG is indeed the easiest way to get into the franchise at this point.
I already mentioned that the mobile games are the easiest entry into the franchise (assuming you can into moon) but even if you can't, the interface of these games is simple enough. More than that, Deresute is really easy to get into. Not to mention that among all the im@s franchises, CG has the largest amount of material and idols so that a beginner is free to get into the gist of things at their own pace.
If not, then the console games are okay too, assuming that they have a way of playing them.
>>148709959
It's easy to get into CG, ML and Side-M as a beginner and casual. If you're just playing for the cute girls and faggots, it's a breeze.
You're in for a bender if you want to get into the competitive level and higher meta of playing these games though.

You're severely underestimating the meme potential when it comes to new people getting into this series, which is especially important to an almost entirely untranslated franchise. The amount of OG material that is understandable and accessible on the Western internet is far greater than the majority of any of the newer stuff.
Just look at the /v/ threads if you want to see some real newfags and they don't even know ML exists and barely acknowledge SideM outside of Ryo and maybe Saki. CG gets some attention from the anime but I can guarantee you that puchis are just as if not more popular from that anime alone. The few people I've met in real life who knew the series too didn't know a thing beyond the original 13 either.
>>148711313

To the average casual who isn't going to go out of their way to find translated material in a pastebin on a 4chan /vg/ general (or god forbid, danbooru translations), yes, I would be sure of that.
>>148709404
Easiest way is to read H-Doujin. Once you fap enough to some of the characters, you move on to the respective game and the saccharine music doesn't make you want to barf quite as much. You also find more characters you'd like to find doujins or art for, only to find out that to everyone else, they're literal whos and have only one or two pieces of sub-par art on pixiv.
...but in the end, anything Idolmaster is still something you don't publicly discuss.

At this point, CG is the part of the franchise that is newbie friendly ans easiest to get into for both nips and EOPs.
>>148712201
Since a distinction does exist between the two, which makes for the more accessible/better starting point in your opinion?
Or more simply put
Anime before SP or SP before Anime?

>>148713231
Sorry, I should have quoted. I'm talking about the guy >>148711313 saying that 765 is the easiest to get into. It isn't, as much he'd or others may like to believe it is. CG / SS is far more accessible with more translated material and guides and shit like that. If you think you can get by the same way with the same level of comprehension with the imported 765 games, you definitely haven't played them.
Fug, 7500 star jews spent and no SSR.
I think I might have torefundto get Sanae when she comes out, however ironic it may be.

How many times you can do it varies from what I've heard, but the first one you do is always automatically accepted.
>>148710153
>With Basic Moon Knowledge, any of the Mobile Games are actually easiest to get into.
I'm not sure if you're saying this just because you assumed the other poster was from a different /vg/ thread so you had to pick an iM@S video game specifically, but I strongly disagree with this statement.
There's a reason why so many animeonlyfags for both 765 and CG exist.
>>148714372
>>148714705
Google generally doesn't care much about it. Refunds maybe rejected, but you won't get into any real trouble most of the time.
I still don't recommend it unless you're really fucking desperate, though.
>>148714167
Hm?
>>148714872
I'm going to do it at least once. I'm just not sure what idol to do it for. I was originally saving my first refund for my waifu's SSR, but I already got her with no problems using free gems.

What are they looking at?
>>148721975
CinFes = Higher Chance to Get High Rarity Cards due to increased Drop Rates.
Box = Higher Chance to get a specific card you want due to the pool being fixed to a set type.
If you want a specific card, a better bet would be box. But if you're clamoring for SSR in general, wait for CinFes.
To CinFes benefit, they also offer limited cards that are stronger than non-limited ones.

Is there a list of all the im@s reading material so far? Like all official mangas for all the franchises so I can know what to look for. I would like to gather all the content for me to read once I gain that ability.
>>148722563
They should get used to it. It's only natural

Never got why people said Idolm@ster is hard to get into. If you don't care about the video games the songs are easy to acquire.
>>148737000
The songs aren't really the best way to get into it since they are generally pretty bad unless you like the idol singing them a lot.
It's far easier to get into the characters first via anime or games.
>>148737000
Pretty late there, but you won't know much about the characters with just the songs, so you're missing out the on some of the best parts that way.
>>148737158
Marchen Debut is the greatest song ever made
>>148737000
The songs are a problem because most im@s songs are tied to the character singing it.
If you don't have any knowledge of the characters, much of the impact and meaning of the song is lost and the listener can never fully appreciate them.
I'm Aggressively Heterosexual for this particular idol.
>>148737318
The reason I said "generally" is because gems like Marchen Debut are enjoyable by anyone and everyone so you're not wrong.
>>148737448
Is this sarcasm?
>>148737158
Anecdotally speaking, I got into iM@S from the 2011 anime adaption and loved the music from it; the characters were fun, yes, but I was glad to have picked up an anime that centers a large part about music and actually heavily features it, instead of shoving it aside for other dumb anime cliche stuff. Not everything is going to be good, of course, but one doesn't have to like everything either, because there's still a lot to like.
iM@S to me is primarily a music-based franchise and then the characters themselves are the second most important thing. A new CM or SM release is the most exciting thing for a CGfag like myself to look forward to anymore. Hell, listening to the LTP albums is what finally got me into seriously looking at ML, and made me really like some characters I suspected I might like.
>>148668836
Man, I want to kiss KoroAzu too.
>>148737448
But I don't really enjoy Marchen Debut. It is not my kind of song.
>>148737819
>iM@S to me is primarily a music-based franchise and then the characters themselves are the second most important thing.
This. I got into iM@S a few years back ONLY because I saw Chiaki perform Tonari ni... live and I fell in love with the song. Before that I just ignored the franchise because I thought all songs would be all that squeeky Jpop stuff or annoying hyperactive dance music.
>>148737819
Being a big CGfag myself, the only ML things I go for are music and lives, because they're pretty good.
I really can't agree with the idea that iM@S songs are "generally bad".
>>148737819
>iM@S to me is primarily a music-based franchise and then the characters themselves are the second most important thing.
And that's the problem looking at it the way you do.
Idolshit is primarily character based, their songs are secondary to the people themselves. While there are some songs that hold their own, they're not really that common in the iM@S franchise but that's okay since most 3D idol groups have just a handful of really good songs out of the many in their discography.
While some people like you enjoy the music more, that doesn't mean that's how it's supposed to work. It's still fine to enjoy it in your own way though.
>>148738250
>And that's the problem looking at it the way you do.
How is that a problem?
>>148738463
It wasn't meant in an accusatory way.
>>148737447
Gonna make Konomin my woman.

>>148738250
Good thing I'm not into idolshit; I like this franchise and it's only a coincidence that it deals with idols. Take "idol" away and put in generic titles, like entetainer, musician, singer, dancer, etc. and it wouldn't change anything with me.
Not everybody looks at iM@S the same way, because there is no correct way to look at it. A fucking business relations manager will look at the main console games differently than the rest of us.
>>148737260
>>148737420
The main selling point of Idolmaster is are the video games and the tie-in music. When it comes to the music, I don't need to know what x characters thinks or likes to listen to a single.
The main criteria I only care about is- does it sound good?
>>148737158
So what happens if you like the characters but don't like the music?
>>148738525
I didn't imply you meant that.
If anything, iM@S is primarily about the video games. But there are so many who don't play them. They're still fans of iM@S regardless.
I don't like irl idols.
>>148738250
You can't really tell anybody how it's supposed to work considering the massive catalog of music and massive amount of idol related content in the franchise. Cute girls doing cute things revolves around the premise of music and units in iM@S.
Half of any title is literally music and gameplay, while the other half is costumes and conversations with the characters themselves.
Stupid Amazon capping at 10.
>>148738595
That's the thing though. If you take away the "idol" then it's just a pop group singing songs with no personality of the members which completely takes away the point of it existing in the first place.
Like I said you're free to enjoy it however you want but it's meant to emulate real idolshit regardless of how you enjoy it.
>>148738650
>So what happens if you like the characters but don't like the music?
That's still an entirely fine way to enjoy the franchise but it still misses out on part of the entire package. Which again is fine but misses the point.
>>148738734
>If anything, iM@S is primarily about the video games.
It's a franchise about 2D idols that started as a video game series. You can simply not play the games and still be a fan. Or you can just play the games and still be a fan. It doesn't really matter in this context since that's only one medium to entry.
>>148738909
Gee anon I wonder why an Idol franchise has a lot of music! I'm not really sure what you're refuting in what I said.
>>148738186
I think the vast majority of them are okay. There's only a few really great sonfs.
>>148738909
I've seen people compare it to Train Simulator in the past.
>>148737819
It's a funny thing. I understand most people here got into Im@s from the 2011 anime but it never had the same effect on me. There were a handful of characters I liked but I found the anime to be dull outside of a few episodes. Then I downloaded one or two albums and while there were some songs I liked, most of it I found forgettable.
After that, my interest in Im@s died off and I largely forgot about it until the CG anime happened.
The funny thing is I mainly get into bands if I find a 'It' song, a song that I really like and while there was an It, It was not enough to hold my interest.
Although then again, Im@s isn't the only group I touched and forgot. I got into SPHERE but I haven't really bothered with keeping up with their songs. I was a fan of AjiKan after Naruto but I don't keep in touch with every single they release.
>>148737819
Anecdotally speaking. I'm not an /a/ guy. I've never frequented the board at all.
I got into this series from /v/ after watching speedruns of Im@s 2. I started importing the games because they looked like fun to play.
I don't find the anime side of this fun at all, it's not for me. I like the characters and the music but in the context of the games themselves.
For this reason I don't know the first thing about Million Live and won't do so until they have a game worth playing.
>>148738874
They're okay.
I accidentally stumbled on a mall live once when I was in Japan. Didn't really have anything better to do that time so I stayed for their entire performance. I can at least appreciate the effort and their energy. Songs aren't half bad too.
Can't really say I'll become a fan of them though.

>>148739059
>it's meant to emulate real idolshit
Except that it's extremely loose in that regard, and I use the word "extremely" in a very bold manner. It's closer to the actual idol industry than a school idol project, but it's nowhere near even being close to what it's really like, barely being an emulation while streamlining the entire process in an idealized universe, much akin if I'm playing a racing simulator but don't have to worry about intense mechanical part abrasion or blown-out tires. I'm not even an idolfag and could care less about that aspect of the Japanese entertainment industry, but even I know this much. It's supposed to be "fun", and easily accessible, but not so much into being an actual representation that the reality of it would scare fans away, or would otherwise be boring.
The songs still play a large part of this franchise, whether you think it isn't "supposed" to be the focus. A CD debut is one of the damn greatest things that could happen to an idol in this franchise when they have nothing yet to their name, and Namco Bandai places a large amount of attention and focus to the sales of CD releases and live concerts with the VAs. There are some pretty fucking normal people in this franchise that have become successful idols in such a character-driven franchise, which otherwise implies if you're not an idol than you don't have character anywhere else in the entertainment franchise.

Hi hi hello welcome to 2D.
>A CD debut is one of the damn greatest things that could happen to an idol in this franchise when they have nothing yet to their name
Even literal whos still have a personality even if it's barely there. Their CD debut is what helps them become more fully fleshed out in a way. And I never said the songs aren't a large part, I just said they're not the main part of it.
>There are some pretty fucking normal people in this franchise that have become successful idols in such a character-driven franchise, which otherwise implies if you're not an idol than you don't have character anywhere else in the entertainment franchise.
I'm very unsure what you're trying to say here honestly.
Like maybe an analogy will help you understand what I'm saying. You can hate real apples. You can draw an apple on a piece of paper and soak it in apple juice and eat it and enjoy it and still hate real apples. Or you can just eat the paper or just drink the apple juice and still hate real apples. That doesn't mean those things weren't derived from real apples nor that they aren't all a part of the same larger picture.

>>148739059
Some songs are good regardless of the character.
Most of 765 songs aren't really character focused as much as they are concept focused, while the spin-offs, CG in particular, are meant to be more of a character showcase. That has a lot to do with the design philosophy behind the games as well.
>>148740889

You know, a room that's decorated in a way that you think is cool or funny, but to others isn't. Like having a fish bowl in the middle of the ocean, or a wedding room with a coffin at the alter.
>>148740936
Even group songs draw on the personality of the idols singing them. That's why different versions can sometimes feel radically different, same with idols covering other idol's songs.
>>148741050
Yes I agree that some songs are good regardless of who sings them but that's more of the exception than the rule. Taking the idol away from most songs just makes them mediocre J-Pop at best though.
And 765 was originally a game where everything was in one big package. Now that we have all the different aspects of the franchise spread out and separated it's entirely different in current year.
>>148740994

Some do, some don't. There's no absolute rule like you're making it out to be.
But yes, originally it was a game that was one big package, and if there's a "real apple" here, that's the game(s).

Neat.
>>148742462
Yes and everything compliments each other with the characters being the main focus.
I'm sorry that you're upset but that's how things work.

Hitbox is probably the best chance, Twitch will probably shut it down pretty fast and ban.

When someone says that the music plays a large part of their favoritism in this franchise, that's an opinion. When someone says that the music plays a large part of this franchise, that's a fact; that's regardless of whether you or anyone thinks about what this franchise is "supposed" to be about or how to enjoy it, as if telling people your opinion on their opinion is some sort of ironic fact.
>>148742458
What I like or dislike isn't relevant.
That doesn't mean you get to decide what the "main" part of the franchise is. If there's any "main" part, it's the original games.

To me first. Everything else is subject to agreements and arrangements.

Well I did a trial with OFA and got 56 strikes in two hours but the strikes don't seem to happen until you end the stream and the archive gets processed.
I think you can go for as long as you want on Youtube until you stop and then you get fucked.
Might be fun to see how many I can get in one video.

Why would Twitch shut down what it obviously gameplay and not pirate music?
Youtube only slams it because ContentID is 100% automatic, it's a machine. If a human saw the stream he wouldn't see anything wrong.

I'm sorry, remind me again who made you the king of iDOLM@STER?
You don't get to decide what the franchise is about. iDOLM@STER is iDOLM@STER. It has many aspects to it. You don't get to decide which parts are more important.

>Why would Twitch shut down what it obviously gameplay and not pirate music?
Because it's happened before with other games.
>>148742114
That's an OL, not an idol.
Learn the difference.

Music games?
I've only heard of things like lewd games or vns getting closed.
Also occasionally Nintendo games getting shut down by Nintendo's lawyers.
Never heard of Twitch going after rhythm games though. Obviously they cut licensed music from archives but the streaming functionality is there.

What's up with you guys completely missing the point?
Where did I claim to be the one "laying down the law"?
Do you guys literally have no idea what stuff is like outside of your little mental bubbles?
Just because you like something for a certain reason does not mean that /your/ reason is why it exists. It's a perfectly valid reason, yes. But that doesn't change why it does exist in the first place or how it functions.

Time for deko and rude tits.

Anon, nobody is claiming what they like is the reason it exists.
You're the one trying to define what the main part of the franchise is when that's not upto any of us to define.
>>148743290
>Just because you like something for a certain reason does not mean that /your/ reason is why it exists.
Same to you, bitch. iDOLM@STER is as much about the music as any other aspect. It doesn't matter what you say about characters or the idol industry or whatever the fuck. You claim you don't write the law, but then you turn around and declare which aspect of the franchise is the main aspect, you hypocritical little cunt.

>You're the one trying to define what the main part of the franchise is when that's not upto any of us to define.
Because it already is defined, that's the point.
People can like what they want but that doesn't change how scamco does things.

Show me this definition from an official source, please.
>>148743491
>Because it already is defined, that's the point.
No it fucking isn't.
iDOLM@STER is many things, not just what you say it is.
>While some people like you enjoy the music more, that doesn't mean that's how it's supposed to work.
This is you. This is what you wrote. Who the fuck are you to decide this? Fuck off, kid. You aren't in a position to decide "how it's supposed to work".
