>>483172283>>483172579Gua!!!
>>483172781draw idols getting fucked
>>483172340I wonder what's the reasoning behind some models getting this pitch black void, and other models getting actual spats as underwear. For example big bang Kotone has yellow spats but the new Saki just has a void and those are pretty similar outfits. Then there's Lilja who has white spats in her uniform, but everyone else like Ume here get the void treatment.
>>483172283Does she know?
>>483172696twitterP?
>>483172871Don't forget the ones with bloomers.
>>483172929i meant the dude who stalks twitterPs, sorry
i remember when he used to draw cute hinatas instead of idol feet
>>483172009Which CG unit will do it eventually?
I Love my loli wife
>>483172871they're just black spats
>>483172871Pitch black void = the devs gotta censor the panties because they don't wanna risk the age ratingSpats = those idols wear spats
>>483173092In the case of Ume is because she wears nothing
>>483172283>>483172579Cuddles and light gropings.
>>483172963
>>483172665which one?

>>483173303I used those prior to cuddling.
>>483172776in Japan, everyone uses twitter, including 2chan/5ch/altchan autistsin the west, only normalfags and trannies actually actively use twitteran opinion from a Japanese tweet may or may not matteran opinion from an English tweet definitely doesn't matteran opinion from a channer who follows English twitter users should be actively ridiculed
>>483173050Is that Izzy?
>>483173395
>>483172963>he used to draw cute hinatas instead of idol feetGK feet are much cuter than that ugly idol
So it's confirmed that the shitposter is responsible for every single western twitter/reddit/discord screenshot that gets posted here without exception, right
>>483173674Commando Ume
>>483172963It was weird how he suddenly started drawing so much feet pics.
What do you even do in twitter?
>>483172283His Tamakis are so goddamn erocute
>>483173845If Ume is played Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will play Saki?
I fucking love idols' exposed back and nape.
>>483173871I use it to look at pictures of idols and post them here for your visual pleasure.
>>483173924What is this face supposed to convey?
>>483173636Of course not, there's no angel or engage in the handle, also I don't think she ever mentioned them
>>483173924
>>483172963Good.
Alright Okiha, I just want to ask with this new set of yours...Why always Megumi?
>>483173871Collect hand drawn naked idol images.
>>483173871Follow artists to see idol pics, and official accounts to keep up with news. And talk to friends if you have them. It's tolerable if you keep your account private and only let people you know follow you.
>>483173871I only use it to look at pictures of kigurumi
>>483173830No, there's probably more than one
>>483173924chu~>>483174023more casual outfits should feature berets, maybe even a baseball cap
Nice try but you can't make me horny for Mirai.
>>483174326Not while Shiz exists.
>>483174326You shouldn't.
>>483173043After conducting a very scientific research I can conclude that you are correct.You can clearly see the outline in the bottom part.
>>483173871Find people to get mad at, and then get mad at them.Or just look at pictures of naked idols.
>>483172283>>483173908
>>483173830Not really because the femP stalker crops out the whole name but uses filenames to indicate who he screenshotted
>>483174171He really wants to fuck gyarus, nothing weird about thatWhat is strange is how you can never tell if his next set is going to be vanilla or NTR because he's 50/50 on both
>>483174326You seem like a good person.
>>483174589>He really wants to fuck gyarushis megumi sets usually have her either doing cuckshit or fucking the homeless like miya
>>483173871Initially, those minor bonuses essential for a F2P in mobile games like Valkyrie Crusade. Then, for services like skeb where they need a Twitter account to register. Nowadays, because X doesn't allow people to browse it without an account (and nitter clones doesn't seem to be that reliable), just to view stuff/information.
>>483173830Maybe it's another shitposter. But he still needs to get hanged from a tree.

I missed the question but if someone wants to get into enza, just read YOUR/MY Love Letter. It's the best commu, the meat of it doesn't require any knowledge of the rest of the game, and it gives your a good idea of how the stories vibe. Don't mind that it's gimmicky and that most commus won't be as good, just start at the deep end then go back to whatever feels right to you. A lot of the other good commus are just much harder to decipher and many other starting points don't communicate the appeal well

>>483180812She's just as normal as plain white bread
>Tosas are backKINOOOO
>>483181142>SnickersNever forget
>>483181236I'm gonna miss those outfits.
>>483181324When popularity bullying lead to starvation.
>>483181403They're still be wearing it in their normal streams. Their 3D performances are going to use their new idol forms, though.
Akane's rendition of Letora is way too cute.
>>483181324God bless Kazuo Umezu.

>>483181591can't fix the ugly tho
Oh no! The Hanamj genes are spreading.
>>483181708You lost.
>>483178863Deadnames are trannyshitI will always call Twitter what it is.
>>483181565Uh, okay, I thought the training clothes were going to disappear forever.>>483181591She looks really round.
Ritsuko fun fact as it's her birthday.In first vision, the President acknowledged that Ritsuko is one of the weakest singers in 765. And when he told Producer to do something about it. Ritsuko suggested to autotune herself cause she didn't want to do the extra voice lessons
Akane is so 1st vision she picked up a 876 4koma as well, huh.
>>483179749Literally WHO
>>483181703NOOOOOW IT'S TIME
>>483181753And I forgot my image.
>>483180812Hana's not really that normal. People understand "she's meant to be boring" as an excuse to her not having a character but that's not the point, Hana's character flaw is that she's shallow and empty even in universe and basically has zero understanding of other people. It's her version of Amana having codepency issues or Meguru having zero self-worth.
ぐぬぬ
>>483181943876 was 2nd vision
>>483181690Letora's outfit is legitimately cool, I kinda wish they had gone with a similar streetwear theme with Manaka and Cosmo.
>>483181990CHINA NEGRO

>>483182134People end up mistaking them for 1st vision since the game used 1st vision sprites
>>483182143Would be better without Letora
>>483177712>Not im@s>>Takane Shijou
>>483182432well yeah, it was the very first 2nd vision entry

>>483182752>we live in an era where we can make this happen with AI
>>483182752More like Sekai ichi Nazi.
>>483181990>>483182360What has science done
iM@s and Transfomers when?So we can have Transformers The Idolmasters.
>>483182413I'm surprised we still don't have a vocaloid idol.
>>483182124>she's shallow and empty even in universeThat's actually an interesting character concept. Is she aware of her shallowness or is it something she hasn't realized is a flaw yet?
>>483183124>Transformers The IdolmastersThat's just YukiP.
>>483183124Kiss Players?
>>483183124Reds = AutobotsBlues = DecepticonsYellows = ?
>>483182752Well, we already have Shiika singing Kaisehymne, why the hell not?We need new blood in the tradition of the DMX Collab.
My beautiful wife on the right and my three retarded children.
>>483183367Is this supposed to be a man wearing a Daki pretending to be an idol while riding a sci-fi mecha statue?
>>483183351lmao
>>483182404Never ask Yukiho what she was doing in the 1940s.
>>483183705digging holes
>>4831838086 million of them?
>>483183850For six million of them yes.
>>483183705Never ask Yukiho who made the shovel dog gif
I hope she gets a Nendo too.
>>483183528GoBots
>>483176561My god I want to cuddle this Tamaki.
>>483183920you're telling me that between the years of 1941 to 1945 a single girl dug 6 million holes? the numbers don't add up.
>>483183528Add bot from 1.6
>>483183554Kiriko and Fuyu aren't retarded.
>>483184043It's a very cute Tamak
>>483176974Explain Chie>>483178863I'd call it by the new name if it actually had a nice new name. X isn't a name, it's what you fucking sign when you can't write.
X is a kino name full of thought, meaning, and ambition
>>483184273Or when you're Zero
>>483183235I don't think she has any self-awareness, it's never been openly acknowledged by her even though it comes up through other people but I guess that's part of the flaw, but it's a recurring element in most of her commus. Her WING is about the fear other people have that the industry will corrupt her from a natural small-town girl turn idol into something darker and her immediate fanbase is gachikoi in love with her instead of being like say, Amana's teenaged girl fanbase who admire her. PSSR1 is about Hana's inability to acknowledge or empathize with her fans and she doesn't really get over it. PSSR2 is about the disconnect between privileged and shallow Hana and a girl who's working hard and doing her best to survive in the industry. SfP has a scenario which is about Hana coming to realize that she has to give up her idyllic life to become an idol. A recurring theme is that Hana's problems are never solved at the end of her commus so they just keep steadily building up.In CoMETIK she's basically meant to contrast Luca who's life is so rough she can only see the world through a dark lens, Hana's life has been so easy that she sees the entire world as a kind place where nothing bad ever happens to anyone and Haruki who finds meaning in everything no matter how banal it is and thinks deeply about everyone she meets. Haruki treats Luca as a damaged creature that needs patience and tries to understand her slowly and carefully, Hana thinks Luca is just a moody girl who can be won over with taiyaki and donuts and that they're already besties.
Ekkusu
>>483184121Nah, if it's Yukiho I can believe it. Girl is a Dig Dug world champion. You also forgot the other 5 million + tens of millions more civilians around the world, WWII had a bogglingly high kill count.
>>483184698Sekkusu
>>483184698You forgot a letter, Yuriko.>>483183167Miku was in OFA and SC had that collab a few years ago.
>>483184875Zechs?
Will Akane ever integrate the other branches into Puchimas? Even just ML would be nice.>>483181990>>483182360How come I never get this glitch? It's always the floors/walls glitching out for me instead.
>>483184981
>>483184758>You also forgot the other 5 millionA fatherless JK from Saitama wrote this
>>483184981Ugh...
>>483175595How nice of Megumi to interact with people part of the African American culture, more idols should do the same.
>>483185241I didn't know Nichika had an interest in fully documenting the horrors of WWII. Wonder what her thoughts on Unit 731 are.
>>483184981Is this the Yuriko figure with the prominent buttcrack?
>>483185568It's this one.
>>483172318>like when our image got 10k+ likes on Twitterhuh what
>>483184683>Hana thinks Luca is just a moody girl who can be won over with taiyaki and donuts and that they're already besties.On some level she doesn't think much of her. I know that bridal interview is treated by some people as shallow writing, but you get a bit of insight from Hana stating that she only thinks Haruki will have a happy marriage. It's an innocuous statement and it's perfectly honest but it can come off as tactless when you see almost every SC praise all of their unit mates.>>483185230Delicious.
>>483185156I believe that the other branches do not exist within the Puchimas continuity, since 765P is still a crummy place.
>>483185230MTMN ZR
>>483184683Shes like the data/spock of imas
>>483185795plus they use the 1st vision designs
>>483185665Hotglueing
>>483184683>>483182124I really need to read her commus. This sounds interesting to me because I like the idea that she's the "prism" bringing out reactions in people with that shallowness.
>>483186007Landmine bunny!>>483185937That's Asahi/Noa/Hiro.
>>483184992FUCK YOU
>>483186007>Sanriogirl AnnaShe would make Riamu look like the quiet type.
>>483186112Also Kozue.
>>483186120MY TURN X IS INCREDIBLE! IT TRULY IS THE TURN A'S BIG BROTHER!
>>483184758That tends to happen during a world war, yeah. The sheer scale eludes most, till you realize that on one theater alone, there was a continuous front spanning almost a thousand miles involving millions of men. Lucky for Yukiho, she's never out of work.
she is boring
>>483186007Cute bun
Yukiho servicing millions of men...
>>483186492Yeah, Yukiho is pretty boring but that's part of her charm.
>>483186427>there was a continuous front spanning almost a thousand miles involving millions of men.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maginot_Line ? Fucking Belgium fucking shit up for everyone.
>>483186423I'd make a reference to his Seed guy but I never watched that show lol
>>483186503They made one of Subaru's brothers look more like Rui than Hayato
>>483184683Thanks for the info! I'll be paying more attention to Hana from now on, seems like she's set-up for interesting character development.
>>483186576She's only boring on the surface. Imagine what hijinks she gets up to with her dad.
Stay seated.
>>483185889She should cover Philistine.>THIGHHIGH SOCKS ARE MY ABSOLUTE TEEEERRITORY>>483186045They're not bad, you have to really contrast Hana with her unit mates to really see what they're aiming for. Plus it's easy to catch up with Cometik for now.>prismI'm pretty sure P is the prism. Both for bringing out the various SCs (colors) from white light. Also Song for Prism = Song for P (rhythm)
>>483186730How about KONO DIO DA?
>>483186830maybe her reason for hating men is kinda like that one guy from tales of the abyss
>>483185746Some things I didn't mention that's probably worthwhile is that Hana's actually pretty sly and cunning which is a part of her characterization that's forgotten a lot since it usually ties into her plove. It's possible she does understand Luca a lot better than I give her credit for. Her relationship with SCP is a really important part of her that's usually broken down to her being stupid otaku pandering girl.From Straylights onwards, SCP is a much less perfect producer than he is with launch units. He regrets putting Mei into a character, fumbles noctchill as a unit, and has to hand off SHHis' problems. It's still a gacha so it all works out but he's expressed regret making Hana an idol to start before. 283's philosophy is finding normal, special girls and giving them wings so that they can grow even if they stop being idols. In Hana's case, SCP whisks her away from her small town where she was already blooming and throws her into a world where she's slowly losing parts of herself.On Hana's side her plove is also shallow as fuck but she's also really aggressive and it's a big plot point for her that idoling is basically an excuse to seduce SCP which she does with shocking skill. She tests the distance and then slowly corners SCP, or Luca even, by creating situations where they can't say no to her and have to give her what she wants.>>483186045Hana's a really easy idol to get into. No one will believe me if I say I'm not actually a HanaP but she just comes up a lot and she's easy to discusss since she has like, 5 real commus split across two games. Her new bridal is the easiest way to "get" her, it's actually a great commu even if you don't like Hana since you get to see her get shit on during it and they had the balls to spend half of a fucking bridal without the bride there at all.
>>483186917>>483187124I see.
>>483187090She doesn't hate men, she's just scared of them.
I fucking hate Hana so much.
>>483186007very dangerous idol
>>483187124>fumbles noctchill as a unitnot his fault. toru and madoka should be in therapy, not in a unit
>>483185680Twitter user 7thsofa tweeted this image and got 10k+ likes
>>483187282In the same way that Seiji is afraid of women
>>483184683SC really has the best written im@s idols
Maybe Yukiho was molested by one of her father's goons? She just doesn't remember but instinctively is scared of men because of that.
>>483187564Madoka would be much happier without Toru.
>>483187594Now let's not get ahead of ourselves, this is an anon's interpretation (no offense to the anon).
>>483187582Imagine putting them in a room together and they can't leave until they ____>>483187657That guy would be swimming with the fishes immediately.
>>483187090>like that one guy from tales of the abyssGuy?
>>483187657no member of the yakuza would do that
>>483187842I'm pretty sure it was a guy.
I did it.
>>483187858i can't believe GKP literally NTR'd Misuzu just like that...
>>483187858>Netorarecan somebody explain this one?
>>483187657my personal theory is that they were short on personnel one day and they required her assistance with "clean-up", which also led to her fixation on shovels and digging
Yakuza idols?
>>483187925The Yakuza do fucked up shit, like the case of that abducted girl, If you think that some of them would never mess up with their boss, you're simply wrong.
>>483188105Misuzu used to be Temari's mom and now everyone else is coming along and babying Temari.
>>483188040No, his name is Guy.
>>483187567RIPthecouch
>>483187858Netorare is really a common theme across idolm@ster...
>>483187567>ourlol okAnd stop stalking random people, retarded monkey
>Rinami's actually calling you by your name instead of "Producer-kun"Don't do this to me, I'll fall in love.
>>483187858>Temari: We gaaan!!
>>483188390working as intended.
>>483188295NTR is a natural part of lifeIf you've never been NTR'd you've probably never wanted or worked for something hard enough to even be upset over losing it
>>483188327Bruh, that's MakioP and that image is from here, if you've been here for at least 2 years now you would have known.
>>483188182>one is cripplingly afraid of the opposite sex>another one is gay2/3 of these clans ain't getting a next generation dawg...
>>483186615Eastern Front.The Maginot Line, Fall Gelb and the Western Front in general pales in comparison.
My biggest gripe with GK writing is that it's super safe and expected of this kind of franchise + the characters just seem to do whatever the P says just because he said one nice thing to them once.Like beyond SC Im@s never had good writing but this is just poor.
>>483188327>he doesn't know /@/ historyGrim
>>483184683So Hana is the typical country girl that gets easily NTR'd thanks to being a dumb naive girl that can't see when people have bad intentions?
>>483188770Oh right, lots of land in Russia.
>>483188190they'd have to have no sense of self preservation to go after their bosses daughter. might as well seppuku right after.
>>483188829My hot take here is that you people fellate SC writing too much.
>>483188446He'd definitely browse 4chan.
>>483188640I know who they are, and I believe you are aware enough to understand why I called you a retarded monkey
>>483188829This is another copypasted twitter post, by the way
>>483189030I mean >>483178080
>>483188665Would a Yakuza clan be okay with a foreign member?>>483188829> it's super safe and expected of this kind of franchise Welcome to big businesses, especially Japanese ones. They don't like taking risks and prefer tried-and-true strategies.

>>483189257Now I want to read it
>>483189105You called the other anon that.
>>483188829GK's writing is about as good as it gets in context of what it has to do, pull in a fresh audience and not bog down the game mechanics. SC is inaccessible as fuck by comparison even beyond the long timeline with how your idols can work against you on a WING run. GK making every plot exist in a vacuum makes it easy to just pick up on an idol's charm and stick to her plot or the unit plot without having to bounce between different commu formats and produce girls you don't care about for context.
>>483179447>againPuchimasu is still ongoing.
Mio is unforgettable.
>copypasted twitter posts>literal NTR spam>random namedroppingNext you're going to LARP as a FuyukoP to branchwar so just do it now and save us the time
>>483188829I mean, If you look at most popular media, what tends to sell is safe shit with bad writing.
>>483178080>>483189257Second this. Only SC commu so far that brought me to tears. https://youtu.be/tIDhzNyl3ew
>>483181703Imagine you spend your whole fucking life training to be an idol, do a great performance on stage, and then this chipmunk with 2 months of lessons comes out, breathes deeply for 8 minutes, and then sings one fucking note at the end and get selected as the number one idol.
Here's my advice on how to beat Shadow of the erdtree:
>>483189606Fuyuko Lost...
>>483189554https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIDhzNyl3ewPlease do.
>>483189606>breastsThat isn't my Asahi

>>483189815I hate it when this happens.
Why the fuck are you retards engaging with a literal Twitter copypaste as if it's an argument that came from someone who posts hereHoly shit use your fucking brain
>>483189830I'll have this one then.
anna = vivid whore
>>483189761i couldn't even find the tweet that was supposedly copy-pasted from, I think you were lying about that to dismiss anon's opinion
>>483189983But /@/ is a twitter colony
>>483189820I'll cum inside of you every time you die Anna, except for fall damage, in that case I'll only give you the deepest tongue kiss
Here's my advice on how to treat gamer idols:
>>483189918>>483190020no
>>483190020>
>>483190112You couldn't find it because he replaced Gakumas and Shinymas with GK and SCAll you have to do is search "super safe and expected of this kind of franchise" and it's the first goddamn result
>>483189820Step 1: don't play fromslop media
>>483189907NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>483189707It will make it easy to jump into the game as a newbie too even years from now if most stuff is somewhat self contained like that.

>>483189761and now the offtopic Anna shitposter is here
>>483190250You get punched twice, once for using the s word and another for having bad tastes in video games.
>>483190350where's the joke?
>>483190156>>483190464Spanking all the gamer idols.
>>483190250They don't hold your hand enough eh?
>>483189606>>483189830It's robossu
>>483190749You'd get the joke if you understood the VL's characters. I know we were talking about Hana but idols usually have a character.
>>483190847Hana har more character inside her left tit than any of those kidney idols
>>483190350How old is Shachou-san?
>>483189813>>483189828Really worth emphasizing that you can know literally nothing about SC and read this one too so I'm backing the recommendation. There're other events that I think are really good even Tenjin which is a unit launch event needs like 1 hour of associated reading to get into.
>>483190116/@/ is an /a/ refugee camp.
>>483190984Minor spelling mistake, I win. Better luck next time.

>>483192138He watches VL streams!?
So which are the other unit scenarios event you recommend then SCPs? but just like Y/MLL, it must not be an initial one
>>483191319It's nothing much, it's just that the first noctchill event focuses on the unit dynamic but basically explains nothing about the individual members if you skipped their WINGs. It's not like the Straylight event where it reintroduces them to you if you didn't bother with WING before it.
Mio and her Hondas
>>483192109>>483192213
They are idols. You lost. Just filter VL if you don't like them.
>>483192213
What's Bamco's long term plans for VL, anyway?I kinda figure it'll be a while before they try again and come out with another batch, since this attempt to capitalize on the vtuber trend has had middling success at best.

>>483192504They would have already pulled the plug. It has been over a year.
>>483192504It'll only be those three till they graduate, most corpo vtubers get killed within a year but bamco's always slow so we'll see.
Letora muh wife
>>483192504They'll join GK in one more year
>>483192842How will Hagtora join GK? She's a hag.
>>483192504it seemingly did fine if they're investing more into now. i doubt they'll get their own game but i can see them being added as guest idols somewhere or maybe added into a new game(the ml reboot or maybe kohaku's moms branch will have something come from it eventually?) being with the ds girls doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, ryo broke free from there already and jupiter broke away from kuroi too.
>>483192842You really want GK to fail huh
>>483192364For L'Ant, Photosensitivity Warning.I want to say either Song of Monsters or The Moon That Pines For The Sun/Moon, but the former might not be newbie friendly and the latter is more about Yuika and Kogane.
>>483190156Tenga deserves this but Sana, Anna and Lilja don’t.
>>483178586He doesn’t have my permission to leave SC until he draws Kaho anal.
>>483192504They won't make any new ones, this has been a huge failure so they'll never make new candidates, which is unfortunate for anyone who likes this kind of content I guess.
>>483189813>>483189828>Tenka asks Amana if it won't be cold when she goes out running>in TL she's asking if Amana won't catch a cold>Amana answers she'll be fine if she runs, again implying even if it's cold, she'll be warmThis shouldn't bother me as much as it should but it does.
I give up on this season’s contest. I’m okay with top 500, top 100 is now out of reach.
>>483178586>no Haruki or Luca yet
>>483181591Yeah she immediately stood out in the 4komas.
Are there really not going to be elections this year?
Hiro's SSR makes genki bomb runs much nicer than they might otherwise be. Dem last-two-turn parameter boosts.

>>483193916Primarily, yes.
>>483193741Kissing 'em
>>483192364The shitty thing about SC is how hard it is to jump in as a new player, I really can't think of many events where you wouldn't be lost without context.Most Straylight events are probably fine, not Wintermute Dawn but I think the others are alright? They do a good job of catching you up on who the members are quickly.Illumine events are really underrated but I think Movers is the only one that can stand alone with its themes.
>>483192786Is it a matter of hololive cornering the market?
>>483183957She should get a Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robot that doesn’t punch back.
>>483189813>1 hour 30 minutesAm I supposed to watch this on TV or something?
>>483193730Wasn't there a law that prevented them from doing events like that within months of EoS?
>>483194154And corpos make like no money, they're always used for advertising purposes and they kill them when they're done with that.
>>483185383Like any true Japanese she denies their existence.
who thought it was a good idea to have feature length film tier commus in a mobile browser game
>>483194154hololive is not the monopolist in japan, vspo and nijisanji are still very strong, honeystrap used to be right behind them until not so long ago.it's just that both bandai and sony completely mismanage very promising talents.

>SS is going to die before Nao could be cinderellaI wish only the worst for John Cygames and his associates
>>483194679Brevity is the soul of wit. Just look at GK.
>>483194609The fucked up thing is that Y/MLL is being discussed in the context that it's the accessible commu in the game. Hana's been discussed to death in these threads and she is literally the most accessible and easy to understand idol in the entire branch. It's really common to pick up a random idol one day then discover that you need to enter an 8 hour rabbit hole to begin figuring them out when you realize how much reading you have to do.This is why SC gets so much praise for its writing and also why no one fucking plays it and the branch is dying.
>>483194609visual novels happened, anon. people liked them and still like them and sc caters to that niche like fgo does.
>>483194803That's a boy.
>>483195269*tomboy
Alright faggots, time to spoon feed me. I want to read illumine stuff, and in particular order of care after the unit stuff, I'd want to prioritize Hiori -> Meguru -> Mano if it's not dependent on each other, if commus on individuals are a thing, I honestly don't know how SC works. What is the path I have to take. Is their stuff patched without MTL or do I have to resort to youtube?
>>483195072This but Shiki
I want to have sex with Cosmo and destroy my eardrums
>>483194732
>>483195502I would advise you to not touch SC unless your Japanese is good, the writing simply can't be done justice with MTL and the English patch is practically dead with only a few commus from mostly popular idols translated.
>>483195790In that case, chop chop, get TLing. I'll give you a week per commu.
>>483195502>I'd want to prioritize Hiori -> Meguru -> Mano if it's not dependent on each otherIf you want to read WING commus to get started, the order doesn't matter.Also regardging >>483195790>only a few commus from mostly popular idols translated.This is an exaggeration. The core commus are TL'd but it does depend on the idol.
We really were The iDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS all along.
>>483195790>and the English patch is practically dead with only a few commus from mostly popular idols translatedwhat the fuck are you talking about moron?
*camera pans to the sky**overanimated live2d shit**ellipsis*Asakura, did you just fart?

>>483194747Make numbers go up.
>>483195153>then discover that you need to enter an 8 hour rabbit hole to begin figuring them out when you realize how much reading you have to do.There's a lot of reading but you don't need that much to get the gist of a character. Though this might be why some people recommemd certain commus which vibe more with current characterizatiom.

>>483196119go girls give us nothing
>>483196051>>483196159Kiriko literally didn't have her WING route translated last time I checked and progress was slow, dunno if that has changed recently.
>>483196119Nice muted colors, Shinies.
>>483196119This honestly mogged ML's 12th episode. I clapped when I saw Toru.
>branch is dying even though the figures posted a few days ago indicate it's healthy despite all the recent fuck ups, but I think reading is yucky so it's dyingthis general is cooked dawg
>>483196212I don’t see Hana there?
>>483196535Her WING route is now TL'd.
>>483196831This about SideM?
>>483196831The most annoying people are the loudest. Most people just ignore that shit.
>>483196992SM is getting new figures???
>>483195502The other anon is right that SC is rough if you don't know some Japanese. The other branches use much easier language too, GK uses really simple language by comparison.To try and help you though, Illumine is pretty middle of the pack with translations and the girls are typically pretty simple. Their intro event sucks so you can start from Catch the Shiny Tail which is translated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osgS_inb_UoFrom there you can read some of their other unit events. You never really have to go back to their intro unless you really like them so you can continue with unit commus. Go back to their intro if you want to know how they get together but that event is entirely skippable if you don't, it doesn't really do much except introduce them and Catch the Shiny Tail starts their arc. Star n Dew By Me is a Meguru event, Movers is a Hiori event. Individual commuus aren't as important for Illumine so you can do them at your leisure. I know Mano and Hiori have some stuff up, but I think Meguru translations are pretty dead which is the hard part. To give you enough context for Star n Dew By Me, Meguru was bullied as a kid for being American and still feels out of place everywhere she goes, so she became a people pleaser to make friends which means none of Illumine ever had real friends before meeting each other.
>>483197161Yeah, Ren's the newest one!
>>483196831I don't think that figures are an indicator of anything, even Saya no Uta and Death Note got new figures.
>>483182404He looks so happy...

Sometimes I think about making a figure myself since my idol will never get one.
Thinking about Temari
>>483195502>>483196535Here's the TL progress:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19taf2sVtZvRPRiheuHd_AOx0LTAlwG-cNPH03PUz8gA/edit?gid=1342316116#gid=1342316116FYI the progress is a bit misleading. For example, Kogane actually DOES have her WING translated but apparently it needs to be double checked according to the legend in her TL tab. You're set if you want a basic introduction to any SC, but if you want to go further you're going to see some uneven treatment.Admittedly Luca is the only exception. With almost every SC you can more or less say to start with their WING, or pSR1, or pSSR1. Luca has the dubious distinction of needing the context of SHHis.Also you can use YT like >>483197195 mentioned.
Well now that I rewatched it with subs and it's truly over until October, this will be the last reminder that the scanned SC anime pamphlets are here:https://www.mediafire.com/folder/bsrdidwv0mtr3/SC_Pamphlet
>>483198034is that a binder??
>>483198529I kiss 'er...
>>483198954no figure, but we got the big plastic
>>483198981Thanks dood
>>483199048We stan a TRANS MASC KING!!!!!
>>483198954I wanted to do this but I never found any helpful resources
HAGIWARA!
Im worried the second season of shinymas will be just as bad.
>>483199658I'm worried about rent.
I like this contrastHana>life is not like it was back home...Rinze>life is not like it was back home!!
>>483197195>Meguru was bullied as a kid for being American and still feels out of place everywhere she goes, so she became a people pleaser to make friends which means none of Illumine ever had real friends before meeting each other.Fucking losers, just like me, I knew there was a reason I felt this attraction to them.
>>483198873I liked the noctchill arc better. It really helps that the individual events have conclusions which makes them more satisfying to read on their own, I totally lost sympathy for Mikoto by the time Seventh was over.
>>483199658I really doubt it will be any worse than the first.
>>483198954Same, but I’d rather a doll of her.
>>483199976A retail job would fix Mikoto.
>>483199658It might not be good but there's no way it'll be as bad. I can't imagine them fucking up Straylights too hard since we seem to be getting Straylight Run and those girls can carry anything. The only real concern is how they handle noctchill who can end up anywhere between total dindus and a clique of teenaged bitches.Mano getting advice from Asahi and Toru is pretty worrying though...
>>483199976>I totally lost sympathy for MikotoGood!
>>483199557I used to try making polymer clay figures and I've gotten good results with the body. Things just got busy but I thought I could have done well if I continued. It wasn't really a huge investment and you can buy everything off ebay. All you need are carving tools and polymer clay (there's types but I didn't bother yet) or wires if you really want to continue finishing the body. What's fun with it is you can just keep trying to make it look like how you want it until you want to finally heat it to harden.
https://twitter.com/403_net/status/1800699974239605208Clean your Mimi.
>>483199976The first two event commus are super solid, third one is a short one and the last is my least favorite.As for Mikoto, yeah, she's just like that but it's not out of malice.
>>483198954Make yourself into a fig of her.
Just grab some clay and a scalpel and start molding.
>>483199658Well duh, they can't just switch to 2D at this point
Just dress like your idol, bruv.
>>483199278that means it got a pussy? ugly bastard impregnate her right now!
mangadex. is deadcan someone please help me? i need the u149 manga
>>483200995they cute
If you think about it there's not a lot of idols with black hair.
>>483201246Works on my machine.
>>483201246??? Mangadex is working fine
>>483200995Roco if she real.
>>483201246https://mega.nz/folder/N0lGUTgB#MqHmFGMqwNOvxnFxOPh4ew
>>483201306SC I think has higher on average.>Hiori, Yuika, Sakuya, Fuyuko, Luca>Rinze and Koito (if you count dark blue as honorary black)>maybe Mamimi and Juri (we don't know their original hair color)
>>483200995Honestly cute.
>>483199658legit doesn't matter, what new fans is it bringing in when the first season will have scared them away?
>>483201676Forgot to add Mei to the last point.5/28 if you're exclusive. 7/28 if you stretch it, 10/28 if you're very inclusive
>>483201676If you're counting Mamimi and Juri might as well add Hana as well.
>>483200995Honestly, would.
>>483201306SM has a lot:>Kaoru, Rei, Ryu, Jun, Shiki, Genbu, Soichiro, Asselin, Nao>Takeru if you count dark blue>Kyoji (half the time)
>>483193741https://x.com/matchakingyo/status/1804941780653318178Apparently the TL from English to Japanese is so bad it's confusing some nips into second guessing if it's a scam, did Xolla not put any effort into hiring real TLers?
>>483201918>Forgot to add Mei to the last point.her roots seem to be black
>>483192364I think manyscreens can be enjoyed without reading other HCG commus. Momoiro ni kongaragatte is also the Alstroemeria classic before Y/MLL. I think one can still understand Catch the Shiny Tail too without reading their first event.Cross-unit events are generally fine to start without too much context too imo since their purpose is to introduce you idols from other units. Sentachi is good and I think Road to Happy Holiday is a good starting point for those who started around CoMETIK's inclusion.
>>483202295classic bamco fuckup
>>483194609have you ever thought that their mobile browser game would have literally have no appeal whatsoever if they don't even try to have decent writing in it
>>483191841>>483191315>>483191875I've been making my way through Luca's commus and holy shit, I can't a straight face at all.She'll just not reply or tell people to shut up and everyone just takes it on the chin in basically everything I've read so far. She was nice to her fan that one time and doesn't seem to treat random staff that badly but I still think it's really funny, especially that one scene with Juri and Amana.Does nobody actually snap back at her or at least call her out on her bullshit?I know nips usually aren't the type to make a scene but come on.Again, I'm working through her solo commus before getting into the events and whatever else.If she ever interacts with Hinana please tell me where, I'd love to see how she'd deal with her. I love when she intentionally gets on Madoka's nerves
>>483202103afaik she's not stated to have dyed hair.
>>483201918I swear there's a better shot of them somewhere else but we do see Mei's siblings... who also appear to be gyaru.
>>483202608Their one interaction is from the homescreen. Luca straight up calls her stupid and Hinana pretends she didn't hear.
>>483202676Will he end up with Fuyu...or will Asahi conquer him first?
>>483198873I really hope they step it up in their next scenario event because not enough kinda sucked.
>>483202894Hinana would probably destroy her if she didn't pretend.
>>483202276Ryu has brown hair
>>483202676maybe izumi otouto and imouto are outdoors-y typesI wonder how the elder siblings look...
>>483200995I would buy my idol's outfit just to put it on a mannequin and admire it from time to time.
>>483202608can't hold a straight face*>>483202894Aha~Fucking love that girl lmaoBut yeah, meant to ask apart from that>>483203000Would be funny as hell
>>483202608Luca's commus have been in the gutter ever since she was added because she's in a mindbroken state until recently in The CoMETIK Episode where she's finally starting to go back to normal. The best way to understand Luca is still by wading through the hundreds of hours of SHHis commus and reading December of Lines.Also she's quite a renowned idol in-universe and technically more experienced than everyone else in the company barring Mikoto and you know how autistic the Japanese are with senpai-kouhai relationships.
>>483202608Yeah I know that there's a reason why she acts like that but fuck her The Episode in particular made me want to start actively avoid content with her.
Thanks for ruining April fools Luca
>>483203635Let her COOK.
>>483202608She had a bit of a scene with Nichika but that was before joining.
>>483199976I think you're more or less supposed to be less concerned about Mikoto after Seven#th anyway because she's been more responsible and reliable after that. She mostly figures out things on her own in her recent P-SSRs with P only giving a piece of advice or two, unlike before where she even struggled to understand the simplest things.
>>483202608Before Luca joins 283, Nichika's relationship with her is mutually assured destruction. There's the famous Nichika scene but she also talks about Luca's lipstick being cheap shit in earshot of her once. Hana's the idol with the best Luca match up though, she doesn't seem to know that Luca is a famous top idol and just seems to think she's a shy girl who has trouble opening up and acts that way and Luca will actually fold to basically anything if you push her enough. Amai's willing to call her out the one time we see them together too but that's pretty complicated.Luca seems to have an affinity for the anti-social people because she gets along fine with Hiori, Mamimi and Madoka.
>think we're gonna get Hazuki's side as Nichika begins her long descent into madness>l@l lm@o nope here, it's time for deep loreI both hate and love the fact we're going to be in the Nami arc for probably a year.
So I've been thinking, considering how most of the Shiny's weren't idols beforehand, what's really the difference between them and some of the idols in Gakuen that are of lower talent, Lilja especially?
Hinana wrote her name on my suit...
Lilja is cuter
how do you guys cope with the shiny colors anime being the way it was, i feel empty after watching it. I really wanted something better but i feel like it's never gonna happen.
>>483203875She made it worth it, come next year.
>>483205160I remember the pain of not pre-ordering a Mochi is greater than anything
>>483205160Well, I coped by watching it illegally and making a pog face whenever my idol was on screen but that's about it.
>>483205160I had low expectations to start so I'm not terribly bothered. U149 got a fantastic anime years after the CG anime so I wouldn't be surprised if we just straight up got Coherent Light or Jimushiny adapted down the line with the usual adjustments.
>>483204943>considering how most of the Shiny's weren't idols beforehandYou say that like it's more common in SC.
>>483205160so i shouldn't watch it?
>>483205435You're not getting two Straylight anime.
love Chiehttps://files.catbox.moe/mo0flu.webp
>>483204943There is no difference between Uzuki and Lilja, both only have their smile.
Miriani S2? They made models for Leon and Shiika...
>>483205160At least y'all weren't humiliated by SideM getting a 2D anime while having to wait years just to get a 3D one
>>483205435U149 was bankrolled by cygames, Bamco is much less competent in that regard.
>>483204943Talent and experience are different things, what do you mean?
>>483205160I dropped it on like episode 6, I couldn't take it anymore
GK by CygamesPictures babyyyyyyy
>>483204943GKs have to be carried by GKP being a genius producer, all of them without exception are implicitly doomed to failure without meeting him and having him micromanage them. Presumably a lot of their audience is just people who're watching because of the school too. They might be able to zoom to the top once they graduate but none of them would really pass things normally.SCP is the least effective producer in the series putting aside the reasons why he is, so you can think of SCs as girls who're excellent on their own merit and only need gentle guidance to be put into the spotlight. 283 is less successful than the other companies too and does a lot of scouting so if we imagine that all the corporations exist in the same world, it might be fair to say that 765 and whatever CG's corporation is called are much closer to the top.
>>483204418Hazuki and Amai's circumstances are too intertwined to just explore one side.
Accidentally shared a direct kiss with Kotone.
>>483205512it's really bad man, i didn't even expect anything spectacular. It really hurt my motivation to continue supporting SC, it sounds dramatic but idk how else to feel after waiting so long.
>>483206307Healed Takagi just has a magic touch, you just can't match his genius moves.
>>483206586You sound like my dad after I showed him my pokemon drawings when I was 8.
Luca has no gap shes just a rude bitch and I dont like that
>>483206719too real bro...
no gag*
>>483206307>SCP is the least effective producer in the series putting aside the reasons why he is, so you can think of SCs as girls who're excellent on their own merit and only need gentle guidance to be put into the spotlight.That's a really poor reading of the situation, specially early SC. If anything SCP punches well above his weight with most of the cast.
never gonna give you up never gonna let you dooown
>>483206823Lucarain.webm
>>483205160I cope by simply ignoring its existence.
>>483205613Tietan...
>>483205701According to that chart there should be a second season before they start production on the GK anime.
>>483206937I'm not saying SCP is incompetent, I'm just saying that whether they're carried by the endless pockets of CG corporation or they're a magic man LN protagonist who can read minds like GKP, the average im@s producer basically has a flawless track record in their run. YonaiP is a total rookie put on a babysitting job that everyone expects him to fail and he has a totally clean run. SCP spends every second event lately wondering if he fucked up.
>>483206307> all of them without exception are implicitly doomed to failure without meeting him and having him micromanage themUnless Sena takes over, she's also a genius producer.
>>483207368Hey now Lipyan, don't just kill me off like that.
No one would care if I got hurt
>>483207565I warned you about using that nickname, now you are gonna feel the pain
>>483207368Is that supposed to be an Aim for the Top reference or a TTGL reference?
>>483207708TTGL, the text is Simon's speech
> Werk set is about the Hanamis competing for who will be produced> ends with Producer passing both of them and wanting to make a sisters unitWerk is a fake fan and didn't watch the Hatsuboshi commus because he would know they wouldn't accept that
>>483205435anon think about what u149 actually was. an anime animated by cygames pictures based on a manga that ran in cycomi(cygames comics). then the manga got cancelled less than a year later anyway.
>>483205613Chie's onahole body
>>483207978U149 IS CANCELLED!?
>>483207869The dick convinced them so it's okay.
>>483207869Yes but they are sex crazed
>>483207517>they're carried by the endless pockets of CG corporationI mean, if you're getting carried by money you're working with a huge advantage. Specially with CG girls being more on autopilot.>YonaiPHe's handling 10 kids, later 14. SCP started with 16 idols and it ballooned into 28 (including several nutcases) without a larger office to provide some resources.
>>483207978Maybe if the anime had a beach episode with Chie in a micro bikini it wouldn't have flopped, then the manga would still be in publication for another 3 years.
>>483204418We'll be getting more of it for sure, SHHis hasn't even cleared WING yet and you can't start CoMETIK without going through 3 SHHis events. I don't think Nami arc would be that long since we already know how it ends.Seeing the turmoil between Hazuki and Nichika when she was starting out and hearing Hazuki's thoughts about Mikoto was great though. Jimushiny is kino.
>>483208119yeahhttps://x.com/kyow_no/status/1788948656084939027
>>483208404It's always Chie's fault
>>483205160I cope by playing enza and consuming other SC content. I feel like most people will collectively memory hole the anime. It's honestly one of the most painful anime I've watched in recent times which is a shame because I was really looking forward to it.
>pedo tourists don't even keep up with the manga they supposedly like
>>483208671>It's honestly one of the most painful anime I've watched in recent timessomeone please post it
>>483206823If you don't want to read SHHis to know what her real personality used to be then read Sentachi or even just her MSC would suffice. I'm fucking begging people to read.
>>483208579It's kind of sad that this was the only manga CG had left.
>>483204943This isn't really an SC thing but I guess we can compare. Most SCs have either some degree of talent or a specific skill or mindset that SCP thinks might be useful, then puts them in a group that can support those skills. Also early SC had a more desperate SCP who couldn't be too picky, hence him recruiting a punk girl, an otaku, the slug, etc. Later SCP was more picky, being able to emphasize talent and finding naturally charismastic idols. The only exception was Nichika and it's pointed out how she's a special case despite her in-universe lack of talent. This is not to say that most SCs are just talented ( >>483206307 is for example completely wrong about SC), we have commus where some girls try very hard to up their raw stats and some are so over specialized that they fail in other ways.In theory nothing is stopping SCP (nor CGP) from recruiting Hiro or any GK, but he will not be impressed by a poor performer who swears she could get better. I could see them maybe looking into someone like Ume, whose potential can snowball quickly, or Sena as the school's top idol.GKs are in the idol program because they see themselves as lacking skills or needing dorection. SCs (and CGs and MLs) are judged by P to either have the skills or can compensate in some other way.
Bass no...
>>483187124We already had an idol like that in SC.
>>483209483Yeah but she's banging her brother.
>>483205160I just dropped it because it wasn't getting better no matter how much I tried to gaslight myself into thinking it's not that bad. Thankfully Coherent Light and Jimushiny are there to carry me asides from enza.
>>483209582Aqua only loves Kana.
>>483209483which naa-chan is this
>>483209582There was genuinely an entire chapter about Aqua talking with his schizo self about how much he loves Kana.
>>483209349I don't make the laws, Basa
>>483209828Bass is going to support Risa for Prime Minister
>>483209082the cancellation of gekijou wide only a couple of months before that announcement makes it even worse. feels like they're closing up shop.
>>483209638>>483209743Has he stopped being awful?
>>483172963Idol feet is cute
Nichika joker arc was really funny.
>>483209938Final arc just started last chapter, finally.
>>483209349Maybe you should stop treating her like a child?
>>483209349We can still love each other in secret, girl.
>>483209287Hiro's case is a bit special because she's idoling as a hobby and GakuP has to give up on his dream of producing a top idol to keep working with her, I doubt a salaryman P would take her on with all the work it would take to get her to the starting line and the risk of her just quitting when she starts getting good at it.The rest I could reasonably see being scouted or passing auditions had they not been in the school, even in the case of China she's still an earnest hard worker so there's something to be done there.
Bass is a child and is the same age as Hinata.
I like Tsubasa and Natalia :)
>>483210918Hinata, Yayoi and Nono haven't gone through puberty yet!
>>483211172Nagi neither while her sister did
i love my shy wife
ill take care of nagi
>>483211274Maybe the autism has something to do with it.
ok ill take care of haachan then
>>483210918I would peel the apple
So why are those stat bar graphs different per GK idol? Are they set by the judges for each idol's personal circumstances, or is it more of the idol's personal tendencies?Like Sumika's Vocal bar is tiny with a giant dance bar despite her being one of the better singers, you can completely ignore vocal the entire run and still get top grades there. So that mirrors her mental recovery with dancing? Whereas idols like Lilja have to take a balanced approach.Then there's Hiro who is apparently vocal with a low visual tendency despite being prettygirl.
>>483211314nono = whore
>>483211712Maybe it shows their motivation to work on those particular stat.It is kind of weird that Lilja and Saki have the same vocal bar when the former has commus about her sucking at singing while everyone acts like Saki's gremlin voice is fine.
Maybe spend 5 seconds playing the game and you would know what the graphs are
>>483210769>The rest I could reasonably see being scouted or passing auditions had they not been in the school, even in the case of China she's still an earnest hard worker so there's something to be done there.It depends.>SakiGood scouting material.>TemariMight be hired, but her previous history might be a deterrent.>KotoneMaaaybe.>RinamiTDP hires her.>SumikaMight be hired.>HiroRejected by everyone.>LiljaMight be hired but it's a long shot, a Swede might be seen as exotic for the company.>ChinaRejected by everyone.>MaoDepends on how they view her ikemen act.>UmeSCP and CGP might hire her if they can suss out her potentoal. TDP hires her.>Misuzu?>SenaPrime scouting material.
No 876/va-liv doesn't get a brand logo? It's stuck in the Other category for all time?
>>483212523Lovers
>>483207368P: I'll be taking a picture of you, Katsuragi-san, so please do your favorite pose. This is part of the lesson.Lilja: E-Eh!?!Lilja: Umm... well...*Sempai is dead! He's gone!
>>483212840Buttpatting all those little idolchubs>>483212906Momoko you're next
Some people are just not meant to be idols...
>>483213438SC Kanade still has a good shot as a gravure model.
>>483213438Mei...
>>483213518Someone must take the place Kogane never wanted
>>483212746Misuzu just takes a Miya slow and steady approach to idoling, she's still very talented and Temari can't win against her.Also nadeshiko visuals.
>>483212746>China>rejecting free moneyMao is also clearly someone who wouldn't have made it without GKP
YOUYOU DIDN'T PICK THE PEN AT ALL THIS WEEK EITHER, HUHALSO WHERE IS THE DR@WS
>>483212746>>Temari>Might be hired, but her previous history might be a deterrent.Riamu comes to mind for bad activities (her memorial commu 2 specifically) but, in terms of previous history, Toko probably had it worse because she seemingly has a dead period (active but no jobs) during her first time as an idol. Momoko too.
>>483211494>>483211596they come as a pair
>>483212746Arguably, even if China is rejected, she does have the power of money. She could definitely force herself in.
>>483213879I already competed my quota for the week, Hana.
>>483212840Maybe because they don't have their own game? Also, this is going to be pet-peeve from now but 876 Pro is Dearly Stars + va-liv: all va-liv idols are 876 Pro but not all 876 Pro idols are va-liv.
I'd be reading SC commus if it'd make me look cool in front of others. Like, can I really say, in front of a reunion, with family members who've read pieces like Crime and Punishment or Thus Spoke Zarathustra or The Republic>Yeah I recently read YOUR/MY Love Letter>There's this one called Photosensitivity Warning that's really cool>I've been interested in reading Song of Monsters
Am I forced to use the main trio in GK's next event?
Yoa joining 283pro
>>483214408>he goes to reunions
>>483214408not cool enough to talk about imas in the thread huh
>>483212746China could be scouted by mishiro, especially with the whole fairy tale topic.
>>483213879Waiting if the CG Starlight Fantasy live to be held at K-Arena on September will have banner submissions like SC did, perhaps? /@/ seems to be getting more ambitious so...
>>483212746All of them are fair game for being scouted. The ones with no idol skill just have to stand out to P in some other way.
>>483213879I bought a couple of books to get good
>>483214728You're all pretty much just one person to me. Hell, I don't even know you.
>>483214994what books
Books?
>>483213879Where's the /@/ sings though?
>>483215009You do know me, we've been talking for years about how we want to make Yuriko obscenely pregnant.
>>483214408Steal lines from the commus and never tell anyone where they came from>Only this fish knows how this fish feels>Rough diamonds are beautiful too>In reality there is each and every one of us
>>483215334I pirate them for my kindle.
>>483215369we don't talk about that anymore
>>483209582FUCKING HOT!
>>483211124Same. Titty 14s are great.
/@/ wears a kigu
>>483214408People will assume that those are some obscure respected works and the girls will all want to suck your dick.
I am nearly done updating the OP. Please wait warmly.
>>483216493The intent is for more than one person to participate.
If 283 hired Tenka they’d hire anyone.
Look, gyaru Luca.
>>483216616hey man how are you doing
>>483216723/@/ wears a big kigu
>>483216723No one will know that you are the same anon under the mask.
Risa but Latina.
>>483216750A gyaru, with glasses...!?
>>483217003Like in that episode of Code Geass?
>>483212840They're not a brand, why would they? We currently have 6 brands and 876 is just a production inside the universe.
>>483217176My dick would explode
What's the etiquette if I want to translate commus. If I don't have a card is it bad practice to download the Japanese commu from YouTube and sub over it?
>>483217986>876 is just a productionThere's like 2 other productions, 961 Pro and 0936 Pro. That's not even counting others like Yumeko's or Maou Angel.
>>483218210There is none.Go nuts, playboy.
>>483218210Put a lot of buzzwords.
>>483218210personally I don't care as long as you don't use MTL
>>483218274The rival idols from SideMobas UPC stories (which were all silhouettes) came from multiple different unnamed productions.
>>483218210If you're not uploading it and just want to practice, put the TL online (pastebin, txt file on catbox) with the video you used link in it.However, if you'll be uploading the video with the subs on YouTube, it is expected that you have to record your own (since it does show the P name). But, if you're using someone else's, it depends on the person and the original uploader might prefer you put it as captions on their videos so ask first before uploading even if you credit them.
Her tits were nerfed in the MV.
>>483218740And her thighs.
>>483168210New thread: >>483219501Cute thread: >>>/c/4333521Nude thread: >>>/e/2836133Lewd thread: >>>/h/7933007Seiyuu thread: >>>/jp/47109670
>>483213879Of course! I usually draw with my finger on my phone's screen!
>>483168665For once, China isn't dead last among the produceable idols but that's weird. I didn't expect Sumika to be so low
