What's the appeal of idol games?
I will never forgive /a/ for telling me that Lucky Star is essential viewing for all anime fansI'm still madI still don't get the croissant joke
Cute girls doing cute things

>>736715874People unironically watch lucky star?
>>736715874the first four episodes are notoriously shit. they changed directors after that and then it's enjoyable. i know because i recently tried to rewatch it and skipped from 1 > 5 since i knew that already
>>736715729You'd know if you weren't a faggot, OP.
Do idols poop?
>>736715874Alright you faggots I'm gonna reveal this to you once and for all so you can stop whining about thisWhen someone says that something is 'essential' for someone in a hobby, they mean that it's likely everyone in the hobby has done it, not that you need to do it RIGHT NOW in order to qualify as a member of the hobbyIt was supposed to happen organically, it was just everywhere and was effectively essentialBack in the early 2000's pretty much every otaku watched Lucky Star, watching it now won't accomplish anything unless you like it, it won't give you your animu fan "street cred"

>>736715729>Love Live's last game just EoS'dOnly 2 franchises in that image have games that are alive
>>736716191im@s is heading west soon so make it only one franchise.
>>736716191Hm... I wonder which one this thread was made for!
>>736715729Ui rape
>>736715729MY FVARRRKKING HEROES!...and Teio.
>>736716224The Xitter account was a nothingburger. Bandai aren't localizing shit for the West. There's little profit incentive.
>>736715874>>736715914>>736715961>>736716092back in the early 2000's I took a 8 year break from anime and manga as a whole around the time I started Uni and then took on a half time jobonly to come back and notice a bunch normalfag teens had invaded the hobby with their UwU and karameldance bullshit
>>736716390Uma also made a global/english account years before the announcement for the english version.The global release for im@s is an inevitability.
>>736715729Umautist spam thread
some of the songs are cool and they're typically composed by the same guys that made [your favorite game]characters are typical animu cutepersonally I don't really feel anything about (You) pandering but there's a lot of that
>>736716695Her stick arms would not be able to support her bodyweight enough to do that
>>736716913is there any pvp in gakumas
>>736716461>The global release for im@s is an inevitability.The global release was in 2013, and nobody bought the $60 phone games. Scamco are truly genius.
>>736715887You just want to watch their bouncy tits when they dance.
>>736716978Yes.
>>736716983Gakumas will receive global announcement in 2027 and actually come out in 2030.
>idol GAMES Honestly idk. The whole thing isn't so interesting as a game. Also, how many even exist? Other than im@s and arguably Uma.>idol-related anime and they have magical powers tooSign me the fuck up.Though I'm actually in for the magical girls here, idol just happens to be a 2nd favorite.
>>736717051Love Live had some games.It's a pity they only make idol mobile slop nowadays. We need more idol console games like the old im@s days.
>>736717051>Also, how many even exist?Idoly Pride (although global is going to EOS at the end of the month), Bandori fits, T7S, Stella Idol Project X (this one even has a porn version), Re:Stage. Off the top of my head. Love Live still has a game but it is dying. Mainly Jap only, but they are there.>>736717101Shine Post has a Switch game, need to know nip obviously but more would definitely be nice.
>>736717205>Idol idle gacha game hehe
>>736717101>It's a pity they only make idol mobile slop nowadaysYeah, about that......
I don't know why they keep using the big head artstyle. There's only one (1) idol game with realistic proportions and its glorious. Meanwhile all the bobbleheads are just hopping and skipping looking retarded.
>>736715729>ui
>>736715729There should be an Idol game where you play as their manager, but instead of actually managing your idols, it's more of a espionage battle where your job is to sabotage and destroy the other idol groups, while you have to protect your own idols from other managers as well.
>>736717651That sounds like a meme game while idol fags want the vanilla experience of just managing their own idols without other meme hassles.
>>736715729Why are there so few idols with animal ears
>>736717651Considering how Kuroi operates idolmaster is almost perfectly set up for a spinoff game like this.
>>736717685I don't mind getting more creative with the formula as long you don't forget the main appeal is still seeing the cute girls dance, sing and be nice to (You)(who might or might not be their manager, fan, or whatever)
>>736717749Most don't use race horses as a gimmick.Monster girl idols will also make it difficult if they want to do live idol shits.
>>736715729alright come out with it, who has a dick in this pic?
>>736717843The horse was male.
>>736717821Don't they just have the VAs just wear ear headbands during the live concerts? Could do something similar, though I guess that would limit the monster girl designs a bit
>>736715729pure girls
>>736717882Yes, it's easy if you do things like horse girls, dog girls or cat girls. It will be a nightmare to do like slime girls or snake girls unless they go do holo/virtual route like Miku.
>>736717898Idols are sluts by nature.
>>736717898>Pure
>>736717961>navel piercingMUH
>>736717937Proper idols aren't.
What's the next meme idol after horse girls?
>>736717961pure enough
>>736715729buy an ad
>>736718485That's my wife
>>736718485>>736718525She looks like she pleases old men for money.
>>736718583She's faithful to me
>>736718583well you look like you need glasses
>>736718524For 11 franchises?
The appeal are the cute idol girls learning how to be stars, of course.
>>736718351Magical girl idols, hopefully. Kimi to Idol Precure did well financially(which is not exactly "new" since there are already many franchises doing exactly that, but still)
>>736719312Magical girls veers too much into otaku territory so they may not attract the general audience other than otakus.
>>736719341>Magical girls veers too much into otaku territoryThe target audience is both little girls and otakus though. Exactly like idols.
>>736719291I never fell for this trap even when I didn't know, he just looks like a boy. If only G4U had Saki.
>>736720074What is she saying?
>>736720086she's saying take me to /vg/ or /vmg/ NOW
>>736720074PETA has been real quiet ever since.
Kong
>>736721295Riamu is so freaking hot.
>>736719397I don't think little girls care about either magical girls or idols nowadays. They're both for otakus.
Zurabros...
>>736715729Cute girls trying their best.
>>736723629Why did she redeem...
>>736723629What's worse, getting jeeted off screen or doing literal JAV for money like Honoka?
>>736723629And idolfags wonder why people moved to chuubas.
>>736723629Lmfao
>>736715729makes you happy
>>736726046?
>>736725931Uoh...
>>736723629Japan has fallen...
>>736716257>>736717607R
>>736724389Jeeted for sure. At least you could take Honoka's VA going from doing JAV to becoming the face of LL as a story of redemption.
