Nobody would care if I got humiliated
I want to marry Minami Saki.
ミリオンライブは止まらねぇ!
I hope I post this at a good time. I want to articulate my feelings about the SC anime as a non-SCP (I'm sorry for being an EOP but I refuse to use MTL, I'm still learning Japanese) who consumes SC commus from time to time and watches the lives, mainly learning things through osmosis from what people post here. And the different manga. I will preface this by saying that I thought the anime was alright, at least to my basic bitch taste, but I don't think my time was wasted and I did enjoy some parts of it more than others, like illumine's episode. In my opinion, the ways it could have gone from alright to genuinely good and able to stand on its own without the second season would be:- Dedicate multiple continuous episodes, at least 2, to each unit without cutting off to other units at random spots. This I think was half the reason the anime felt directionless and every time it happened I was annoyed by it because I want the story to stay put and not involve the other units if what they're doing does not directly correlate to the current plot, i.e. the units working together on something would be a valid reason. That would've taken up 8 episodes but I feel that those 8 episodes would've been stronger, especially if they took time to make each of those mini arcs well thought out. Even with how compact they went by giving each unit just 1 episodes, it honestly felt like some, like Alstro's, there was absolutely nothing done half the time. Like they were burning time. This only works with iyashikei, it is not the kind of feeling you should be getting from an idol anime, unless you go all in on the visual novel style. Where was ceiling-kun?

>>483659701Big Sakuyas
>>483659904- The previous point I feel was impossible to do specifically because of the theater screenings. It would be bad if you didn't see two units until Part 2 for obvious reasons, which is why I think they could not do it if they were planning to follow through on theater screenings. The strategy worked well for ML because the 3 parts actually felt like 3 separate theater acts, Part 1 being the beginning about Mirai and Shiz starting on the road to idol and learning what it meant, Part 2 starting by overcoming their obstacle, and showing the idols in full work mode as they have more jobs, and Part 3 as the climax where everything comes together. They didn't shy away from some idols just being in the background either. SC parts on other hand did not feel like they were split appropriately, and the cutoffs did not feel like they were thought out all that well. I think they should have stuck to just starting in TV to make the first idea possible instead, or at the very least not cowered away from not constantly wasting minutes to tune away to see what this other unit is doing while this is going on. Give them a cameo at the beginning or near end when the work is done and everyone's back at the office and let the focus remain on the unit at hand.- WING. This should have been the last 4 episodes, following on my first point. It doesn't matter if they lose or win, hell I would've accepted L'Antica beating illumine in the finals just like in the manga 10 times out of 10 over what we got if they had to have someone win, even if illumine should have earned that. I wanted to see hot blooded competition, they could've easily dedicated two episodes to cross unit training and being all rivals but friends and shit and it would have been fun, then have the semis in episode 11, have Amana break down, and then finals in the first half last episode and just close out the season with Amai's words about gaining something even if they didn't win.
>>483659904>Where was ceiling-kun?They were pushing for Sky-chan to be the new face.
>>483659764What are some imas humiliation rituals
>>483659904>>483660007- The music selection was very disappointing, I didn't realize how much ML had spoiled me with its 10 new songs. One new song per unit would have been welcomed but because they were so gungho about recreating the first live, I don't know, they seemed to have forgone doing anything other than Tsubasa Gravity, which while I like, isn't enough. I know people memed about the same song being played multiple times, but that would've have been so bad if we had also gotten more new songs, or at least not wait until the end to use the B-sides of the first CD set. This also extends to the BGM, I actually loved the piano tune, but they really needed more variety. Some of the commu BGMs are genuinely beautiful and can bring me to tears, they should've used those.I will watch season 2 as well but I do not have hope that it will be better if they cannot split time appropriately and try to pull the same thing again. I made sure to keep my expectations low as soon as I knew it would be Polygon and I'm not changing those expectations, the fact they did not even sponsor SC 6th for free PR tells me all I need to know about how much Polygon cares. Next time it should be Straylight and noctchill with Mano focus, but if they're hampered by having to show where everyone is again I don't think we'll get that much better storytelling. I like Straylight as much as the next guy, but you can't just put them on screen and expect something to automatically be good. I would love to be proven wrong and for it to be a much stronger and well put together story next time. Final point, we should have gotten the strongest idol, Sakurakazamiya Himeno at least once, even as a gag. Thank you for reading my rambles, I am not good at articulating my thoughts, it took me an hour to write this shit down. Okay, good night doods. Hiori figure fucking when?

>>483661408I like Kotone, memes and all, but the push is pretty hard to ignore.
>>483659904>>483660007>>483660101I think you articulated yourself well enough and the fair analysis is appreciated. I feel like the point of cutting away to other units during episodes would have been a fine idea to make 283 feel more "together" like a family, but it ultimately doesn't do enough with any of the conflicts to necessitate them appearing that way. The 1st Live stuff is nice, but to me it just feels like they were doing a live because I guess that's what idols do. I unfortunately won't be able to see the 3rd chapter of the 2nd season in theaters, but I am at least looking forward to giving it a shot. I've been enjoying things a lot more recently, so it won't bother me much if the new season isn't much of an improvement. >>483661324Happy birthday, anon
>>483661015>BridesMen should be GROOMS
>>483660007>The previous point I feel was impossible to do specifically because of the theater screenings.The SC Season 1 gave no fucks about the theater screenings by showing the ending at the end of each episode (in contrast, the ML anime didn't and even only has 1 combined long ending at the end). Makes for a good toilet break, though.Execution is the key here and the cliffhanger/teaser at the end of each act should make the moviegoer excited to see the next part. I liked how ML First Act ended with Mr Mogami showing up and how SC Season 1 Act 2 ended with P asking Mano to be the center. Yeah, that makes me want to see what happens next. For example, First Act focuses on IS (Mano joining) followed by Alstro (Chiyuki moving in the dorms) then transition to Second Act focusing on L'Antica and HCG which has members living in the dorm then all the while has Producer making rounds for the documentary just in time to end it with W.I.N.G for the Third Act so that it can end in the obligatory live finale.

>>483662337Looks like KyojiP has more in common with the nipPs than we thought.
>>483662446
>>483661732>>483662267I think S2's main strength will be that they might have a better or more solid grasp of the OG girls. S1 had an almost schizophrenic level of care, sometimes being autistically in tune to detail and other times being half assed. I'm not sure about Stray or Noct though, though I see Stray as easier to write for.
>>483662461>>483662103Season 3 will be the oddball since you can't have Shhis/CoMETIK/Luca without slapping the lore plot onto the creation of 283Pro and Nami
>>483661614>I feel like the point of cutting away to other units during episodes would have been a fine idea to make 283 feel more "together" like a familyPersonally, I think it didn't work. The cuts were still focused on the units doing their own thing with no interaction from the other units.Which is probably why I loved Episode 8 the most. It showed the difference between HCG and Alstro while showing how they influence each other. Also, that kick-off party has those little interactions (Mamimi showing her pet lizard to Mano and Kaho, Natsuha inspecting Meguru's arms, etc).
>>483662550Much appreciated. She looks so goofy in both of those for some reason.
>>483661614>>483661732A part of me wonders if I would've had a better opinion of it if I had seen it in theaters. When I came out of ML Act 1 I was left wanting more, but I didn't get to experience that with SC since I was already out of the country. Like maybe that shared watch experience goes a longer way that I expected. Either way I'm sure I'll find things to enjoy next season even if it has problems, I like Fuyu's and Asahi's dynamics so as long as they stick to that I'll at least have that. If they upgraded the BGM to be more like what I've heard in commus, that alone would go a long way for me. What I'm looking forward the most is how Mano will deal with the autism of these next centers when she already has communication problems with normal people.
>>483662267>>483662567The OGs will be better off in S2, but in general I hope they stop jumping to cover everyone as if the director is on ADHD, >>483662682 is right on the money. That approach will clash with the moods of different units.
SHHiS/Cometik should be their own show. Do it in the style of Oshi no Ko's where we spent 1 hour and 30 minutes of Nami Yakumo ending it with her disappearance like with Ai's death
>>483662682Oh it absolutely did not work. The execution was off point and just started connecting groups that had no relevance to each other in the moment. I just think maybe the togetherness thing was their original intent that they completely flubbed at the start.
>>483662631Ignore the schizoposts, they have no idea what they're talking about.Cometik would be really hard to shoehorn in WITH SHHis's intro since their lore only makes sense after the SHHis arc.
Only a few hours until people are horny for curvy JKs again instead of twigs.
>>483663054Yeah, those first two posts were stupid.>>483663032I think they trued to "ease" into the crossunit scenes but did it with complete clumsiness.
I think all the idols should just get pregnant so they can give birth to the fourth vision or just have an abortion live
>>483663365>curvy JKsUme delivered us already.I really wish Sumika was also a porn GK.
On the visual side, I know 3D can trigger people but one of the things I did like was some of the background pieces, like this from episode one. As a non-SCP, when I think of SC I think of solemn color palettes like this and I felt that at least in some scenes the mood was captured, but I can't speak as an authority since my experience mainly comes from serious commus.
>>483662874Maybe not? Just imagine your reaction to the SC anime but you had to pay for it. I recall there was one autistic RinzeP who made a fuss about Rinze not wearing a kimono in his blog.

>>483663365What are you talking about? Isn't the gacha update on the 1st?
>>4836635523D is fine when used selectively, not when they replace characters outright. And I do like the colors on the posters, so the bg artists did very well.

>>483663552I also liked the lighting during illumine's debut.>>483663608It was only 1900 yen, I spent more in acrylics.
>>483661408Character gimmicks being appealing are embarrassing now? Do you also complain about Hiro's masochism appealing to porn artists?
>>483663525That's a curvy little sister, or Kaho but okay to sexualize.
>>483663791Ume is far more than just okay to sexualize. They made imoutos like Amana and Hayate far lewder than their big sisters.

> Finally get 1st in midterms with Ume> It's her breakthroughAw shit time to steamroll>>483662063Yeah, DOOM is rated M for Mature!
Should Im@s even need to have a serious storyline for it's idols to be appealing? GK is probably the most nothingburger in terms of conflicts (sasuga LN harem authors) and it's been very successful.
>>483660862Wonder Scale this BITCHdesuwaaa
>>483664139You can have both and pull it off you know. You can adapt Kotone's arc with both fun and drama and it'd be well received.
>>483663552I appreciate good 3D and would be completely fine with it if studios took notes from certain examples and stopped trying to pretend they're making 2D anime with a different form of animation. I think SC had a good points in its animation alongside things like what you mentioned.
>>483664139NO
Little sister idols?
>>483664192Puta.
>>483664139SC's anime showed that doing CGDCT for the sake of CGDCT failed big time
When the Gakuen anime is made, I hope they copy Toradora's Taiga's scumbag dad for Kotone's arc, where he shows up again right as she's succeeding, but then bails when he realizes he can't swindle money out of her.

>>483665050We've been over this. The problem with SC is the writing, not the visuals

>>483665050Both are awful but MLPs waited for almost a decade for the anime so they can't criticize it.

SC should've wait at least 10 years to get an anime
>>483665168>>483665184>>483665353Bits of these are right.>>483665362I'd say the visuals made it worse but less because "ugly" and more like they tried too hard to emulate the atmospheric tone but with less care. Which ties to writing issues.
>>483665168>>483665184>>483665353>>483665362It's a mix of these factors. That said, I don't think it's good to dwell on it.
>>483664983>This is outrageous. It's unfair. How can I be in the production and NOT be an idol?!
Being in terrible crippling debt thanks to your absent father and having to work part time jobs to make your dream come true is just not enough conflict for a teenager. I guess Kotone needs to be weeping about it all the time because subtlety and finding out about characters after playing the game is not enough, you need a giant sign over them so you know something is wrong.
>>483664139Personally, I think the shounen manga approach works the best to make them appealing: introduce the idol and their motivation, show her trying to become the Top Idol and make friends/rivals along the way, etc. Like SP is kinda like one big tournament arc.

>>483665820Kotone is the closest a GK comes to having actual conflict, and it's pure tell, not show. The rest of the cast I've bothered to sit through so far have barely had anything approaching conflict, and any issues they have are completely minor and handwaved away after a single discussion. I feel like this was a solved science 30 fucking years ago. I get that conflict can be hard to balance at times, compare the original Sakura in Sakura Taisen to the atrocious weepy Sakura in Shin who spends her whole time complaining about nothing. But man, give me a bit of fucking drama. GK really glosses over things that should probably be a bigger deal in universe, like producing the lowest rated first year into first place. Maybe they'll expand more on shit with HIF and this is just an introduction to the characters, but there's just not enough going on with most of them and the self-insert is a demigod who never makes any mistakes.

Less meta. More sisters.
>>483667113Ah, naruhodo
https://x.com/mineda_mayu/status/1806163266265370777People say serious are always putting up an act but for some reason something like this from Damayu being excited for Hiori and Reina being back feels genuine.
>>483667182Why sisters?
>>483665820>"haha you like this funny meme character? turns out she likes money because she's POOR woooooooooow and you only find out about this during the ending"I don't know why japanese storytellers always do this, I always see villains that are almost going to die suddenly spend 10 minutes explaining how tragic their life was and then they die and the characters go "are we the baddies??" for a few seconds and then they move on
>>483667231Ugh, Asahi is your imouto now.
>>483667329>No, Producer, if you kill Kuroi, you'll become just like him!
Hiro was blasted on here when her bio dropped for being too unrealsitic and gimmicky and look what happenedThe only rule for making a successful character is to make the audience care, which can be achieved in a diverse number of ways
Is there hope for these sisters?
>>483666620Why are they so big?
>>483667476What argument do you have for Mao and Rinami's wasted popularity due to their writing?
>>483667440>fuyuko meme pack 3How many of these packs/memes(?) are there

CG is not dead but I hope this transition period would end soon. The way I see it, next September will be the last anniversary and finale event of SS. After that they'll announce a new game in the works and have us Stay Tuned for half a year or so until the new game is unveiled.
>>483667538>RinamiCringe(trademarked)>MaoForcing Mao to be what she doesn't want to be and accepted it. Opinions vary if you're a nip or a westerner
>>483667262Regardless of how well her and hitomi get along with reirei, being the only unit that wasn't complete in more than one occasion most have sucked
>>483667476Hiro is liked because she's a kooky masochist, her backstory is still completely retarded.
>>483667538NTA but people ended up not caring. Personally I really can't take Rinami's sister thing seriously.
>>483667538Mao's writer literally alienated the people who would have cared
>>483667538Mao is transphobia
>>483667813?
>>483667538>Mao's character is her becoming the cool prince idol she always wanted to be>Mao's writer: Yeah........let's forget that even happened
>>483667702>>483667630We only have three (OG non-im@s meme, Haruka, and Fuyuko). But we need one for each branch.
>>483665820for a second there I thought you were talking about the nanakusas with the two of them surrounding your post
>>483667736Dude nothing about that contradicts what I saidHiro already succeeded in finding an audience that wants to see more of her, she can be a fucking alien from saturn for all they care
>>483667997We need of EACH idol.
>>483667182Okay
>>483667813another one
>>483667538I think their writer is just straight up awful even making a simple story. GKP acts very goddamn awful and creepy in both of their scenarios.
>>483667997Well it's four per meme pack because one tweet allows up to four images
The onee-chan thing was pure cringe
That's a lot of idols masturbating... now on panda
>>483668427MEECO NO
>>483667538I don't think nips have an issue with Rinami. Maybe a bit too cringe but it's not any different from any CG idol Mao on the other hand. Has complaints from both Japanese and Western audiences
>>483666843yeah I don't think the original post was too off the mark, GK from what I've gone through is a lot of shits and giggles more than anything else. and people seem to like that so I'm not sure why the post got bombarded with "you didn't read the game", like what is this fucking elden ring now?
>>483668210Toru you’re prettygirl
>>483666843>>483668563It's weird to assume the mass replier even played the game. As far as their idols go, GK is high school hijinks with barely any "dark" conflict.
>>483668087It can be done.>>483668427Neat.
>Needing "dark conflict" in your idol galge slay the spire cloneI'm not a teenager anymore, proseka is that way.
>>483668709Mass replier-kun doesn't play GK. He's just forcing himself to conversations he doesn't know about like he always does.
>>483667909I'm searching for and posting expys of Kanade-san. Or else I'm going to Alice
>>483668813Gakuen is the zoomer branch after all
>>483668864Shut up onee-chan bot
GK doesn't make me feel superior for having read it and that's a problem
You say that but nips sure made a big deal about Mao that her character arc is insulting to them. As if our previous tomboy idols weren't subjected to wearing pretty dresses and getting girly hobbies.
>>483668908Coming in 2025
>>483668910
>>483668563if you used the dialog log you didn't read the commu
>>483669126I think they're just insulted that they weren't getting the cool prince that they wanted and got a spaghetti spilling cute girl instead. Only difference from Sakuya is that Mao wasn't blessed with porn
>>483668950I'm almost 30, I couldn't care less about muh dark plot. Also spot in D@nketsu when?
>>483669267Sakuya looks like a dirty whore (even if she isn’t) but Mao is a cute prettygirl who smells nice.
>>483669360I wonder what the GAKs would look like in Tours
Natsuki can be both cute and cool just fine, dominant when?
>>483669198I would.
>>483669267>>483669407Sakuya's arc has nothing with to do her princeliness (?) being a problem, she's on a completely different boat than Mao.
>>483669503Next Dominant just might be Passion/Cute btw.I would rather have Yumi or Hinako though, myself.
>>483669456same but in SC, and not just the GKs
>>483669126Mao is only whined about by SJW types who are upset that they got what they thought to be "positive trans representation" that wound up going the "oh wait, I'm wrong, it's retarded to cut off my tits" route.
>>483669407I imagine she smells like coffee beans and toasted coconut.
>>483668217What's the count now?
>>483668427I've been waiting for this one, my favourite fetish. Time to use it.
>>483669126>As if our previous tomboy idols weren't subjected to wearing pretty dresses and getting girly hobbies.I think the difference is the tomboys weren't told to quit being tomboys, and at least one personally wanted to be girlier.
>>483669126Makoto really wants to wear them and you have this asshole dad painting her toys black.
>someone commissioned thisBut why?
>>483670379You're telling me that GKP told Mao to stop being a cool prince?
Maohttps://x.com/ohgi_ura/status/1805855476518994021
>>483670508it looks funny
>>483670508Tokitsukaze…
Mao's issue was that trying to continue acting like she was before after puberty hit was making her miserable, her path was to find a way to accept her femininity (which she is indeed interested in) and thus allow her to be naturally cool when not trying to force herself.Or did people just want her to stay sad?
>>483670508>>483670571Arbok...
>>483670508Hot
I mean, princes can be feminine too.
>>483670508That Jungle Book scene probably corrupted them as a kid.
>>483669542
>>483670586No, she didn't develop in a way that fits my political views so I'm afraid it doesn't count.
Why do they love the Marty McFly pose in Asia?
https://files.catbox.moe/m982tw.mp4Ume in smash bros.
>>483670586Modern idpol says that Mao should've transitioned because she would be "happier" as a very short "man" who would still look too weird to get the stage roles she wanted. The real problem with Mao's route is that it's just poorly written. It should be about her waking up and learning to live with it, instead it feels more like the player actively tricks her into being cute but it all works out because she was cute all along.
>>483670586The Mao appeal I think they're trying to do is that she's girly around P who calls her cute all the time, yet still has that charming senpai vibe when interacting with the other students (such as in the support cards).So you produce Mao to watch her be cute, and watch her be a cool prince type in the support cards.
>>483670586People wanted her to be a cool dude. They didn't get a cool dude. They feel cheated.
>>483670508>This is official art
>>483671108Karen no.
Ughhhhhhh, I can't reach A+ with RSaki... My final exams need 17k for A+ but I don't think I can reach that score with her... I'm being tempted to roll...
>>483671047100% cool dude, that is. Obviously she's cool sometimes. Hence the complaints, they want cool all the time.
>>483670508maybe he gotta snake and he's saying hi to temtem
>>483671047She is cool, just when you're not producing her haha.
>>483670586It's what the kids today call "gaslight a girl who wants to be a transgendered man into a girly girl because his misogynistic brain only thinks a girl is only valuable if she is cute and not cool"
Her cuteness was leaking in this scene.
>>483670863isn't that the family guy thing?

>>483672802there was last thread
>>483672563Cute!
>>483661614Sorry for seeing this late, thank you
>>483665820>>483666843What? There might not be "dark" conflict but there's definitely conflict, even if it's mostly internal.Like Saki has a deeply underlying insecurity. It's not quite apparent outside of her route but it's a strong conflict with her outer confident persona. It's why both of her songs has lines about her "not running away". It even comes up in surprising ways, as Saki suddenly turning serious when Ume jokes about swapping bodies in a support commu. Hiro and China's routes pose interesting questions about dreams, hobbies, and whims and their routes come to differing conclusions about it.Heck, even Mao's route is a critique of gender and questions why stuff like "coolness" and "cuteness" have to gendered and opposite of each other. It's just poorly executed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZXD9QH-cr8Campus Mode translationYou really see how main the main trio are when you look at the line distribution
>>483673073Saki's insecurity is hardly underlying, she's a coward who runs away when she thinks she might not be better than her sister at something. It's still not much of a conflict because it barely comes up and she's totally committed to being an idol this time around. China is a simpler version of the same thing, she's never really tried at anything but is magically fully committed to being an idol. None of these things are real conflict. They're brushed aside in 2 seconds when the demigod P just goes "lol don't worry" and everything is magically solved. There's no back and forth.
>>483672596She said during their stream together that she was there for Cosmo's birthday so she's a real one
>>483670968That’s my issue with it. She even says she doesn’t want to be tricked into it before you scout her yet somehow that is exactly how producing her comes across so it doesn’t feel heartwarming or anything, it feels stupid and contradictory. I don’t really know how that writer is going to fix that in future stories because that’s a bad way to introduce a character to an audience. At least with Rinami, she’s supposed to be (your) childhood friend so any over familiarity there can be excused because of that and the writing just isn’t memorable. Whoever their writer is doesn’t know how to properly execute anything to make it to where people care
>>483673751Cute texting Tenka and checking up on her every night.Ignoring and muting Temari.
Lilja and Sumika are the only well written ones desu
>>483674402ok, /u/-chad
>>483673886Good God man, you did not pay attention to any of Saki’s later commus, did you? Please do not bother writing this garbage when you can’t be bothered to read and comprehend what you’re attempting to criticize. If you dislike Gakuen that much, why bother discussing it if you’re not gonna take it seriously?
>>483664521This artist being dead make me sad.
>>483673886Saki's issue is going to continue to be a thing as long as she keeps the misunderstanding that if Ume beats her that her little sister will become disillusioned with her, which is hardly the case as they love each other. It's the opposite conflict on Ume's side where it's like a dog wondering what she'd do once she inevitably catches the squirrel. I think for things to develop Ume has to eventually beat Saki, thus leading to a healthier rival situation where they keep building off each other.In China's case, she's been spoiled all her life and hasn't been able/allowed to work this hard at something before, so the feeling of accomplishment she gets from having all this hard work pay off is what attracts her to idoling (also to keep Sensei from losing his job). She still sucks at stuff and is frustrated at herself, but keeps going regardless for this payoff. It's something similar with Hiro who enjoys something she can struggle with for once.
NND gacha update: now you can get popular 2010 and 2011 videoshttps://x.com/nico_nico_info/status/1806171068480270674
>>483674635We aren't supporting NND anymore because their company gives money to terrorists
>>483673886That's not the only insecurity I'm talking about. It's how Saki fears she'll lose all motivation once she loses to Ume and that hasn't been tackled yet. It shows that Saki still feels fundamentally inferior to Ume and that needs to be resolved>China is a simpler version of the same thing, she's never really tried at anything but is magically fully committed to being an idol.Again, not what I'm talking about. China resolves to use everything she has to become a proper idol, including her family name. She does this because, in her words, "dreaming is heavy", even if that dream started as a whim. Producer doesn't seem to fully agree by Bond 10, but this disagreement hasn't been fully resolved yet. This is in contrast to Hiro where the conclusion is "dreams and hobbies are the same" and both them choose to not use Hiro's greatest weapon in becoming an idol.
China, Akira, Yukari and Hinana are the same age.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GRD-ilbaQAAqAqs?format=jpgIt's momoko
>>483674748Wasn't it P that recommended she bring her family power into things, thus leading to the magazine cover, Temari barking at her, and making China sad because it made P's reputation worse? Seems like she'd be more against it after that.
>>483675029And Ume! Technically, Ume is younger since she just turned 15 while China is 15 going on 16
Hey
It has been achieved. Time to redeem.
I'm starting to think even the ones who read the commus still get bombarded with idiots saying "lol, you never really read the commus if you don't share my viewpoint". At this point, only ERP is the only place where there's a commonality

So long as the mochi and cake is viewable.I look forward to seeing what happens in the future and am excited to take my mochi on its fanciest outing yet at the end of August.

>>483676319Nice workas for your struggles, I don't know much you have done it, but turning down the display brightness as much as possible helps tons, I've noticed
>>483676551Thank you.>>483676625Thank you as well.>spoilerI did turn it down quite a bit, but the bigger issue seems to be the actual light fixtures in this room. The one with better placement is too strong and drowns out the glow, but the othere (which I used) is further to the side, but not quite strong enough to illuminate everything as well as they need to be. I got different shots with more light, but wanted the glow too much. It's whatever.
>>483675126Nah, she still has that mentality by bond 10. And IIRC, the magazine shoot was after Temari barking at her
How do i A+
>>483677639Stats. Essentially you always have to pick classes and SP lessons only.
>>483677112Maybe the brighter light, but with something blocking it so you get less direct light from it?If you've got a green sheet, you could get bonus green.Dunno if that'd be good or just end up making your nuis look like zombies, though.
guys I saw anna fingering her buncun while talking to producer on phone
>>483677750Dunno about zombie nuis, but the filtering idea might work regardless. I'll keep it in mind.I'll probably be living in a different place by the next time I do something like this, so hopefully I'll have a better room to work with then.
>>483677639Strong supports, so you get more stats. And so you get more SP lessons. For more stats.Then put score high in the final, since that counts towards it too.You can put your stats into the calculator to see what final score you'd need, so you can use your resets if it seems possible for that run.But I usually skip the calculator, and just reset if I think "I could do better." I don't always do better.

>>483684985You can reach first place by clearing all the challenges.
Apparently Sumika's VA hung out with Lilja's VA last summer.
Oh, btw, IP devs fucking love japanese dressesBe prepared to see them alot
The event reward will involve a P SSR card.
>>483687007Not really. They would shuffle people, resources, etc from that project to somewhere else but not necessarily iM@S. Like if Tekken or Soul Calibur team needs more help, those might get prioritized.
damn slut
sumika looks small here
The card comes with a new song: Kimi to Semiblue by Sumika, Mao, and Rinami. In that there are 3 solo versions of them as a group song, the performances are still solo.
SUMIKA BEACH SEX ! ! !
Ooohh Sumika ya
Wow, this song is ML coded as fuck.Also, I like how the stage looks like an ocean.
She's bouncing all over the place
>>483687339>Main trio get solos>Other girls get shared songsWow main trio favoritism is still going
Literally a slut who dances with that bikini in front of many people
>>483687339>Mao swimsuit confirmedHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Megumi's daughter is already a giga whore. I'm impressed
>>483687339>Sumika, Mao, and RinamiThen why didn't you have all three in the fucking concert so they could perform it together? So it's either Hiro will be left out or just skipped.>>483687436I actually like how much effort they're giving to make the main trio stand out seeing how other main trios get thrown to the wayside over the actual popular characters like in SC and CG.
>>483687559Like mother, like daughter.
The bicchi is you though
>>483687339Are the MVs gonna be a reskin of each other like Hajime?
https://x.com/maturinojunbi/status/1806269665590870378This is really good, but I think animating seiyuu is creepy
>>483687671>I actually like how much effort they're giving to make the main trio stand out seeing how other main trios get thrown to the wayside over the actual popular characters like in SC and CG.It helps that people actually really like them. The only one that's likely close to their popularity is Hiro
>>483687671why would hiro be left out or skipped???
https://x.com/DreameR_509/status/1806269066463854725dreamer is good
>>483687795WHO
>Lilja, Hiro, and ChinaHow does this meek trio work?
>>483687795Cosmo's childbearing hips...
The event commus will focus around Mao, and the P SSR card you get from the event is also Mao.
I want that faggot that told me that "other idols are not afterthought" to look me straight in the face and say this again
a real bikini
Mao...
>>483688006I love my boyfriend(girl) so much.
Beeg
Power creep is already insane. Base SSRs are already junk.
please... give me a fucking sense ssr already...
They really left flatfags to die on this one...
MAO EROTIC
Takes off 8 health, but is a triple attack.
>>483688135It is sense, they made a mistake on the icon
ok and when do they stop giving sumika the ugliest fits ever
>>483688150This is also a sense card, so Mao doesn't have a logic one yet.
>>483687824I mean that if they wanted this to be a song they could sing during their concert, Mao, Sumika and Hiro are the lineup for the last one so they could've thrown Hiro in there instead of fake Neesan. Well, she could just sing it and whatever but I know there are fans who always prefer the "True lineup" so to speak.
wow Mao's mao is that big
Double separate Sumika and Rinami gasha, time to die.
>>483688006>>483688060what's so cool about this
>>483688203yeah and i meant logic, oops. i have four sense and no logic
CG treats my idols better and she is fucking unvoiced
+13 fucking yaruki, jesus christ.
>>483688215I wonder if Mao logic will use her more girly version (assuming Base is represents both)
>>483688150Mao gets another Sense SSRHer Skill card does 14 x 3 parameter increase, at the cost of 8 direct Stamina damage (doesn't use Genki)Her item gives her 14 genki if she starts the turn with 3 concentration (activates once per stage)
This is where I live.
Logic Yaruki Sumika, looks silly broken.
swimsuit with sneakers on is my fetish
Holy fat thighs. There's certain angles that make the thighs look thick as hell
SAKIIIIIIIIII!!!!!
SAKI
Why nerf her tiddies?
Yuri support SSR
Hotpants Rinami ugh
>cool prince idol>Her content is anything but thatMaomao... (not the apothecary diaries one, the GK one)
>not showing kotone bikiniAre you fucking joking with me rn
>>483688546ESRB parka
she really is the chiyuki of gk
>>483688653We all know she raised that zipper the moment she realized Lilja and Saki mogged her
You think Bikini guy will like this revelation?
>>483688629Why are they so terrified of regular bottoms? All these swimsuits seem very heavily "健康", which is the new Japanese way to say "safe horny". The whole POINT of swimsuits is sex appeal, you fucking homosexual freaks.
>>483688443Skill card3 direct stamina usageYaruki + 8, if Yaruki is 6 or more, adds 5 more YarukiOnce per lesson, no duplicatesItemsAfter using an active skill card, if Yaruki is 12 or more, increase Parameter by 340% of Yaruki, then use 2 stamina directlyActivates 4 times per lesson
Literally Marin Kitagawa
BIKINI gacha
>Main trioP's thought they could save
>>483688301Sumika's set will come first, followed by Rinami's after.Another Idol versions announced, you can switch between them and the standard SSR.
>>483688757I mean, doesn't he hate when they're wearing anything besides straight out bikinis? Like those shorts and jackets are a big no
Lilja... my leftover idol...
Retard trio are already relegated to barely being mentioned.
>>483688851
>>483688653I take my word back, thanks for sharing their full body bamco
>>483688912Computer, enhance Hiro's ribprint
These are all perms, right?
>>483688912>>483688958So the gacha below (Another idol gacha) is going to be the paid one?
>Yui isn't in Mika's slut groupHow?
>>483688924You're going to have to worry about Lilja more since the next event is most likely a Retard trio one.Unless they do something with Lilja, Hiro, and China which I can't imagine unless it's all three of them building an actual mecha.
You can set the SSR you want to be pickup in these.
mao squirted me
AAHHHH THEY'RE FUCKING SHOT ME IN THE FUCKING MY FACE
So what's the point of introducing Ume so early if we're gonna have to wait for Misuzu and Sena to fill in for her trio?
>>483689016They're special versions of each idol's base SSR. Like if you have their first SSR already and you pull the swimsuit the game treats it as a dupe and gives you pieces.
this game is too expensive for me...
>>483689092>>483689115IDOL TERRORISTS WIN
>>483689016It's limited
>>483689036It's not paid, as far as I can tell
So Mao is doing so badly that they've poorly shoved her into this event with a new SSR they didn't even really think about well enough to put the proper logo on it.She's wearing the same suit as the rest of the "another" idols. They could've changed it a little bit if they couldn't be bothered doing an actual re-design.
>Ume made Lilja a leftover idolI fucking hate Ume
>>483689115Silly anon, shot? You should hear how ridiculous you sou
>P level cap up
P level max to be increased next month.
Meanwhile, sneaking in while many eyes are on Gakuen....https://x.com/imasml_theater/status/1806269239550161378
Aahh yes I can't wait to see Saki singing her kpop song and dance with that outfit.
>calling road to idol Towerheh
>>483689182S-She has a different CG art...
>>483688762Mao has regular bikini bottoms, what you're complaining about isn't a real issue
Goddamn, 34k people are watching.
>>483689283is that a ni nja
Where's Ume's solo you hackfrauds
As part of the P level cap increase, they're adding more assignments to the P assignment track
>>483689283wow I could never guess who these two are
>>483689124So it is just a costume
I can't believe Sumika left her GFF like that
>>483689351All the non-event girls do, but all of them have it covered up.I didn't mind it as a design decision for Mao. It's retarded when it applies to the entire cast, and stinks of censorship.
>>483689447Sorta, but if you don't have the base SSR you get its gameplay at least
GK Karaoke Steam in July
I'm confusedIs it Lilja getting left out or is it Ume?
>>483689182They even showed Mao when they were showing off all the another girls squirting the water gun. This theory has merit
We are well fed this summer, the fan arts are going to be delicious.
>>483689364TD anni stream will mogged it soon
>>483689502Considering the rates it's pretty much another SSR
>>483689609It's hardly a theory, It's really obvious because they didn't even bother giving Mao her own swimsuit.
>oh look we have different singing level >first 3 SSRs have nothing of a sort>next 2 don't get new song at all
>He prefers ER over AC6
>>483689364There's another like 60k on Twitter.I dunno why japs like Twitter streams.
>>483689671they live and breath on twitter man
The ribbon on Lilja's cookie bag is Sumika's hair color intentionally, apparently.That's pretty gay.
>>483689671How do you even watch the stream in twittte?
>>483689731That's all she get for being left over
>>483689661Anon, they gave everyone swimsuits. They just gave Mao for free due to the event being about her which will have more people to at least try her dogshit route.
>>483689825you're replying to bait
So what's the lovely gifted writer of battle harems gonna write about M • A • O in a swimsuit?
China's base model should have that stupid hat too on her. Truly a wasted chance.

Hiro and Rinami's VAs will be at that talk event in Miyagi. Doesn't sound like it'll be streamed.
>>483689963yeah it's a talk event for that region war that was happening pre release
AHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAMY FUCKING SIDES

>>483691652They really should use a lighter shader for the skin or go for a soft shade.
>>483691601It's just a Bandai Namco thing, which are the majority of the Imas games at this point. Just CG uses gacha.

Rinami's gacha is probably the best time to reroll to aim for Ume and Rinami.
Let's talk about Madoka's PSSR4 and what she means in the ending. By saying Torusuki is it a) I like Toru; b) I wanted to be transparent; orc) I like how transparent ShinyP is.

Pre Haruna
I already spent so much money on GK this swimsuit event is going to fucking kill me.
Mao's VA makes me feel things
>>483697917For me it's Sumika's
>>483697605as much as the devil is sexy, I would never dare
>>483668427>>483668504>momoko getting off to headpatsdamn it meeco
im@s anime with kerorira style
>>483697432It's taking a lot of strength for me to not post the Nappi/Kaoru/Inori/Ibuki shrine.
>>483698513Do it, I'll vouch for you.

>>483698593I'm not here to anger the 2D defeners, and I can't find the tweet, so here's a catbox:https://files.catbox.moe/eu1k7v.jpegNot even a buyfag, but I want that sombrero acrylic.
>>483699151One day I’ll trick out a room like this.
>>483697430That Yuika pajama is still my favorite.>>483698839I wonder what power Sakuya mochi holds.
>>483697898I really hope they're not limited.
>>483690286Those discounts aren't just big, they're massive.
>7th anniversary Guess I've been doing Im@s things for 4 years now.
>>483699330The little details that aren't official merch like the sunflower wreath on the left are the best part. I wish we all had the time and money to build a closet for our idol ;_;
>>483699151She kind of looks like China.
>>483699531Who the FUCK is this douchebag
>>483699151Very cute shrine.
man, sc spoiled me crazy because i'm not really feeling these gk swimsuits. but rinami looks good with a big ribbon
>>483699396>I wonder what power Sakuya mochi holds.On top of the rest of inherent mochi powers, the ponytail is absolutely massive. Kiriko's hair is like dual wielding while Sakuya's is like a greatsword. She also boasts an impressively high charisma stat.
>>483699675I like the Sumika sporty one. I mean they are not very /fa/ but you know.
>>483699675>>483699772I'm not a big fan of Sumika's but I think the style fits her. Then again the bikini/shorts combo peaked with Natsuha.
>>483699675they look like shit desu
>>483699526The crazy part is that this:>>483696595is by the Medalist mangaka so it's pretty obvious Inori is just Kaoru mashed up with Kaoru's VA.Which is either creepy, or one of the more impressive things to manifest from doujinwork in the past 10 years.
>>483699772>>483699917yeah sumika's also nice but i wish she had a different hairstyle for it. like a ponytail maybe
>>483695823Aieeeeeeeeee I don't have much joolsShiz looks very exploitable
>>483699480What is your favorite so far?
>>483700294Each day is a step closer to the death of ML.
>>483699997Oops forgot to attach pic related
I wish SC summer updates hit a bit earlier. Some of tbe ones from recent years were late July or August.
>>483700464Those aren't swimsuits, they're dresses from last year's live.>>483700294I think he likes Roco and Anna.
>>483700461you must be pretty upset that the leaks already showed a new game then.
>>483700651nyoooooooo
>>483700651What do you mean 'showed'?
>>483700470I would agree, but I have a tendency to not even think about seasons changing.
>>483700470Kiriko UGH
>>483659701Cosmo's gonna do her members-only stream while playing Mini Metro on June 29th, 10:15PM JSThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7GZVA_lHxQ
>>483700939you know damn well what i mean.
>>483701173Please Cosmo's only fans content.
>>483701236I don't and that's why I'm fucking asking you
>>483700651Which leak? The second one is fake and the first one just hints at an IP rebrand
>>483700004It's not creepy it's impressive, and the guy is living the dream because she's also confirmed to voice Inori. The guy cannot stop winning.
>>483700952I say this mostly because summer is when I actually spend money.>>483701016
>>483700461ML is far from death, not sure about the one with shit load of idols though.
Cutest bodyhttps://twitter.com/hn_fl2nd/status/1806315155120431293
>>483700294Favorite what?
>>483701435they're renewing their focus for the branch, giving it a major push. which is going to be a new game.>>4837014622nd leak is fake but it's not just a rebrand, those graphs indicate bamco's focus and ml shoots back up with it. they're doing something new for the branch and it's not an anime because those were listed separately at the bottom.
>>483701402Retra has bigger boobs so why Cosmo and not her?
Ranko is my angelic wife.
But why pushing ML instead of CG, I don't get it? is CG really that disposable?
>>483701623Assuredness and having facts straight was never your strong suit, after all.
>>483701932Letora is so prettyYou nerds scoff at vtubers but if she was in your favorite branch you'd be all over her.
>>483702095>but if she was in your favorite branch you'd be all over her.I don't like her flan hair. I'd say quite a few vtubers look better than her. Cosmo is actually pretty.
>>483697090They're a lie (one step).
>>483701940I missed my chance to download her for SCVI...
>>483701498It's all about perspective, but I think it's impressive too.>>483701832Why is everyone so convinced the first leak is 100% real and the second one is 100% fake. The only thing in the first leak that wasn't announced before the leak was GK, and nothing but the Gakuen name is the same. None of the GK idols are the ones from the leak. And the schedule for Tours right now has exactly matched the second leak so far.
>>483702095She looks like her hair dye is fading and she hasn't bothered to fix it.
>>483700174Haimura sure loves his sticks
>>483702398>Why is everyone so convinced the first leak is 100% real and the second one is 100% fakebecause there were actual videos that documented different things.
I am nearly done updating the OP. Please wait warmly.
>>483702398Plans clearly changed. I feel that anyone obsessed with chart is aware of this and uses it to shitpost. It's best left ignored.>>483702658Sticks are good, but I wish HiroP artists weren't so focused on ribs.
>>483702701That alone doesn't necessarily make a leak real, and people were still iffy about it up until the GK reveal.
Anyone is shitposter to you
>>483700651I'm excited for it, all the more so if it's a ML+CG game
The iDOLM@STER ST: Starlight Theater
>>483702984Careful there, anon.You'll cause someone to have a aneurism if you suggest a combined game.
>>483702984>MLCG game Why are you so hellbend with that? I don't think merging ML with CG will work.
>>483702850no, people stopped being iffy about it because days later when the content reduction for ss hit and that lined up. the gakuen trademark sealed the deal. there was gameplay footage for the cancelled chinese branch, you can't compare some blurry sourceless image with that, the difference in effort between the 2 isn't close.
>>483703114Not a bad name desu>>483703154That someone should just get off the internet for good
>>483702095She just needs to fix her hair to become a 10 out of 10.
>>483702984just like PL, that game is going to EoS before I get to spend money waiting for my idol's turn desu
I'm very easy so I'd date any of the girl idols except the chidols.
>>483703114>Starlight TheaterSounds like a revue collab we're never gonna get.
>>483703428Same but I'd also reject the turbo autists. I don't want to be a babysitter.
>>483703240It would be fun, but I'm no game design expert so can't speak about the logistics.>>483703272The 2nd leak starts at Q3 2024 aka July and goes up until 2025, there's still time for staff to start happening before we can dismiss it.
>>483703519You can fix them, bro.
>>483665050>>483665353>>483665514>>483665628>>483665362>>483665442Are you all completely fucking blind?The ML anime blows the SC anime out of the water in terms of animation quality, let alone writing.This whole "Oh, the ML anime and SC anime are about the same" narrative is one of the most baffling things I've seen in this general in years.
>>483703561if you want to believe it then go for it. not gonna get in the way of a man and his copium.
>>483703428This but the opposite
>>483703583Dude that was like 8 hours ago...
>>483703274>>483703453Theater GirlsMillion CinderellasStarlight Live
>>483703657I NEED TO FIGHT NOW!
>>483703657nta but this isn't a chat room
>>483703734He just wannaJust wanna fight somebody
>>483703657Yeah, and it's still just as wrong now as it was then.
>>483703561All I can think of is it would ruin both CG and ML concept, both are fine as seperated things.
>>483703774Generals are a chat room tbqh
>>483703583>>483703856This looks terrible in its own way, but you are most likely a koebuta so it appeals to you more.
This guy really sat here during all of dead hours just to branchwar with himself
>>483703583The CG only looked good in a few scenes, that's the most I'll say.>let alone writingIt was less messy but it wasn't that good. Most girls just got a nugget of characterization and the trio felt very unbalanced (Bass may as well not have been there). In an attempt to be somewhat fair they gimped almost everyone. Both shows are mediocre.
>>483703940Retarded, baseless ad hominem attack.
I wonder if AS will be in the reboot.
Anonymous765 is now Online.
I never saw anyone defend U149 and SC anime
>>483703856Look at all those movements, I wonder how much spent
>>483703561You won't ever get them to agree on anything regarding the second leak or really even any of the actual facts from the first one. It's not even a bad faith argument, but something worse. He takes details from the second leak (Cygames giving up CG rights) and pretends they were in the first leak half the time. It's been this way whenever it comes up for months. He is going to continuously post that CG is confirmed "phased out" and all staff and VAs laid off until it either happens or a new CG game comes out, and then he will immediately move the goalposts somewhere else.
Sent you a DM with those feet pics you asked ;)
>>483703428Don't be too fast to lower your standau, anonI was always ignored and made fun of and then 30 years I'm in fact on demand with the highest caliber Asian girls.
Anonymous876 has logged off.
>>483704057Probably.
>>483703975The ML anime did a better job with 52 characters than the SC anime did with 16 characters in the same number of episodes.
>>483704080Damn, some Chinese gold farmer must have guessed his password. Yesterday it was "last online 16 years ago".
>>483704170Yeah I know it's all just shitposting, that's why I don't take it seriously and I hope that you don't either, for your own sanity.
>>483702095>>483702252>>483702469>>483703294Letora's hair is like a pudding/purin with red and green sugar sprinkles served with mint glaze. I might like if it was a dark-to-light gradation like Manaka's or somewhat uniform like Popona's (Sega / Phantasy Star vtuber).Still, though, why couldn't she like have that dark caramel spot be covered by a headgear (like the beret for her casual one)? The fanarts that depict her hair a Toru's (no dark spot in the middle, no random red/green lines) make her look better.
>>483693737I didn't even get BBP and probably only have time to scrape together one more ten pull... I'm actually brickedIf I wouldn't lose out on the event support card I should arguably just reroll for the costume at this point
The comparison is retarded, coming from reducing them to the fact that they're both 3D and that's the only thing that happened in both animes.
>>483704401Thankfully not, I just have some disease where anything I type sounds serious even if I don't lose any sleep over it. It is frustrating though.
So is the schizo just here 24/7 now? The last few threads have been fucking abysmal.It feels like there's not a single hour of the day anymore where I don't have to sift through 500 samefagged branchwar doomposts to find the actual discussion.
>>483704650>So is the schizo just here 24/7 nowPossible Either that or it's a discord group
>>483703583It's obviously just people coping but I'd be dismissed as shitposter anyway.
>>483704402I assume the VA had an input in the design so maybe her actual hair looks like that too.
>>483704650I mean he's a NEET, he has all the time in the world. I just find it funny the bikinischizo got nuked instantly and this dude gets a free pass.
>>483704402I don't mind hair gradients but hers is too dramatic. Mei also has "pudding hair" but it's more gradual and subtke.>>483704650I just skip reading when I wake up and see >500 posts instead of 100. At least bikinifag got nuked.
>>483704923>I just find it funny the bikinischizo got nuked instantly and this dude gets a free pass.The absolute state of our dogshit mod team
She should stop sniffing dogs too as long as we're giving her advice.
>>483704929kissing that
My ADHD is actually a blessing in disguise for once, I never bother reading the whole thread and just skim through it anyway so I usually skip 70% of the schizo's shitposting
>>483704650/@/ has always been like this. Are you sure you're not the schizo?
>>483704170stop combining everyone you don't like into a single poster. when you do that anytime the shitposter chimes into a discussion, you allow it to sour any discussion and it makes talking with anons impossible.
>>483705136/@/ was absolutely not like this 2 years ago but keep trying to rewrite history
>>483704298On one hand, SC may have gimped out on budget assuming they had S2 already planned on the other hand ML did have to make a ton more unique models and not just NPC ones too and those look demonstrably better than SCs.So they kinda balance out on the budget/visuals side.On story, ML had a harder task of having to juggle 50+ characters and still made it sorta work. even if was mid it's better than bad. SCs story is nonexistent even when they had less characters to work with and obvious units/groups to concentrate on but they can hide behind the idea that S1 was just "set-up" for S2.On fanservice, both got caught by their own petard. ML showed off all the idols in detriment to fleshing out any of them while SC wanted to pander to then"Just like the real first live" narrative so much they ended up forgetting about the reason why people go into the lives in the first place, the characters and the story.The real main thing though is that ML anime justified its existence by giving everyone a ton of new songs. Not all amazing but most are pretty good and hit at least ML quality. SC anime though...why even watch it? No new songs. No story. Shiniani contributed nothing to the brand except a ton of bad press.In the end, no matter their quality, Miriani is at least loved by MLPs while ShiniAni S1 is despised by everyone.
>>483703583That animation is mid
>>483705109Same. I just search for image files, twitter, and misskey links.
>>483705136
>>483705109The problem is that by doing that for this specific thread you miss a truckload of GK news so you either have to force yourself to wade through a sea of the shitposter's garbage or just wait for a news post to tell you what happened
>>483705172>stop combining everyone you don't like into a single poster/@/ has always done this though? I guess it’s easier to think there’s one schizo instead of admitting that most people in your favorite branch are contributing to the shitposting
>>483704650So the good posters really left if most of the threads are just filled with the schizo?
>>483703583Cherrypicking the few good looking scenes isn't the own you think it is. It's just a poor fit for the branch's aesthetic, specially when they "aged up" everyone but made them see too gangly imho. Soulless if I may borrow an overused buzzword.Not everyone likes the show, deal with it.
>>483705420Control+f can solve this.Although I usually get the news posts by skimming through the thread anyway.
>>483705491And here you are trying to pin all of your own shitposting on an entire fanbase because you desperately need everyone else to be as deranged as you are
>>483705576We're all sch@zo's here. Let's all stand up.
>>483696054Being turned into breeding sows by the enemy clan
My apologies for the delay. I will be a short while longer.
>>483705682Saving Chiyuki
>>483705582It's not cherrypicking, the ML anime genuinely looks better than the SC anime across the board.Anyone who claims they look the same is absolutely off their fuckin' rocker.
>>483705582I see no need to like the show to get what he's saying.
>>483705682Whoops, wrong image.
>>483705582nyoooo
>>483705607Schizo just wanted to use your post to further complain.
>>483705235>In the end, no matter their quality, Miriani is at least loved by MLPs while ShiniAni S1 is despised by everyone.That's the big thing, isn't it.The SC anime's biggest haters are SC's biggest fans.
>>483704650We got confirmation of people that comes from Twitter to vent in here, lost likely act like retards so yes, this general is cooked but I'm not leaving, fuck them.
>>483705784"why are you gay"
>>483705784Not him but I do think the ML anime looks great and I'm yet to watch SC so can't pass the judgement yet.Doesn't justify your shitting on other branches.
I want a Hiro figure.
>>483705784Lemme have some of the copium you're having.
>>483704929The "pudding hair" kinda refers to that "mainly yellow with that black center spot that kinda resembles the caramel" thing. Mei fits the dark-to-light gradation (dark brown to yellow) I mentioned.>>483705069But that's like killing her.
>>483704650If it makes you feel any better, it seems that the constant shitposting has blown a lot of cover they had with the wave of new people that aren't in the know. It's kind of amusing how their recent attempts to drag a certain poster in the mud hasn't worked because the guy's got a decent track record here and just doesn't give a fuck.
>>483705172You're doing it yourself when you say "the shitposter". And for the record, I don't think all shitposting is one person. I think different styles of garbage are different discrete shitposters based on pattern recognition of their arguments and posting styles. It's a skill you had to have on this site before generals if you ever wanted to have a conversation that lasted longer than a day. I can't unlearn it. My only real solution is that if you find yourself accused of being a shitposter maybe some introspection is in order, which I will apply to myself by shutting the fuck up after this post.>>483705980I think you're on to something, it's strangely worse during NA hours lately.
>>483704650Schizo will get tired and eventually go back to posting Anna offtopic posts.
>>483705991I'm not shitting on other branches, I'm saying that it's fucking insane to claim that the ML anime and SC anime look the same.
>>483705991NTA but tbf he's only shitting on the anime not the entire branch
>>483704130U149 didn't really get any critcism outside of the obligatory "my idol isn't in it = don't care". But it was somehow the best of the recent im@s anime projects, which is shocking to me since I hypothetically was more hyped for ML/SC. If I had one complaint, it's that Arisu felt somewhat underutlized. She's clearly a main character but ManletP felt more like the MC while Arisu was kind of a sidekick until her moment came.
>>483705784Stop being so sensitive because someone dared having an opinion against your ML anime.
>>483706220You’re not really helping your case by cherrypicking bad scenes.
Okay but SakuyaP is still pretty cringe
>>483706143I think we all can agree there is that one guy people know as the schizo or whatever, however he has been here for so long and yet it never got as bad as now. You see where I am going? There has to be more people now participating in this shit and I don't see how it is wrong to accept this as a possibility instead of just thinking one person can do all the posting at all times, because it doesn't matter when I check the thread it's fucking awful dude.
>>483706436Is he (she?) the one chimping out at Hana?
>>483705235Add to that ML was celebrating its 10th anniversary, having an entire live themed after the it and with multiple in game events. Everything was planned around to make it an enjoyable experience. While SC first impression was only seeing half of the idols, mixed opinions from the theater screenings and releasing a mediocre game.
>>483706323They didn't "have an opinion against the ML anime", they claimed that there was no discernable difference between the ML and SC animes, and there clearly is. Stop trying to make this into some kind of retarded branchwar shit.The ML anime had much higher production quality than the SC anime. That's not branchwarring.>>483706428I haven't "cherrypicked" any bad scenes. I haven't posted a single thing from the SC anime at all. What the fuck are you talking about?
Stop arguing with /@/ and make the thread already
>>483706562>showing her armpitjeez what a slut
You know, you're more than welcome to post some clips from the SC anime to prove them wrong.
>>483706473I mean the other explanation is that he just genuinely went off the fucking deep end because he wanted GK to flop that badly.Picture very relevant.
>>483706515And Yuika.
>>483706315I don't think Arisu was underutilized but then again my brain kinda tuned out the non-focus characters so I probably just didn't mind it much. And if we're talking about memories regarding U149, it has to be BachiP drawing a new batch of Mikibots.
>>483706562Riooo prprpr
>>483706143>strangely worse during NA hours lately.The adage used to be that NA afternoon was the worst because it's when kids leave achool. Same logic as summerfags.Then again I don't believe in things like "SEA hours" because the most dedicated shitposters just do not have normal sleep schedules.
>>483706515>>483706436Bro have some dignity, eveyone knows that's you trying to pin something you do onto someone else. Your underdeveloped brain thinks he can fool someone
>>483706702Hurry up I need to ritual post before it's time for work
>>483675707
>>483706709The worst shitposters are most definitely NA
SALIVATING
>>483706618
>>483706709>spoilerThis is why I gave up on trying to figure out where the schizo is fromHell, he could actually have been insane enough to adjust his sleep schedule so that he was most active during SEA hours to make it seem like he lived in SEA despite living in, I dunno, Britain or something
>>483706623My guy he needs to be making what, 100 posts or more per thread every thread, and answer multiple times to both himself and to others at all times. Or we just have besides him people that just likes to shit on others?
>>483706623I find it funny that this shitposter never talk bad about CG as if he is a CGP and look at the state of CG right now.
>>483706843Unironically accurate.
>>483706731>quotes two separate peopleOkay, try again
>>483706880>I find it funny that this shitposter never talk bad about CGAhahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA man you really think anyone's gonna buy that?
>>483706937Yeah, Chiyuki clips through walls as well
>>483706473Well that's the other problem. Half the "shitposting" are failed jokes by other anons that people get butthurt about. Anon is wrong for not understanding how humor works, and the anons who call him names are also wrong because they're derailing.So I guess my other advice is for people to actually be funny/have a sense of humor about their idols.>>483706709Actually, summer combined with new game release is probably 90% of our problem. Almost every board gets worse in May and better in September.
>>483707012As if his bad english wasn’t a hint.
>>483706143> My only real solution is that if you find yourself accused of being a shitposter maybe some introspection is in orderwe have anons that take arguments or discussions and then parrot them and run them into the ground, hana recently as an example. that doesn't mean that all discussions of that subject need to stop, because it'd be easy for someone to shitpost about something they don't like being discussed and then try to shut down all future discussions of it by saying that it's the shitposter doing it in bad faith. those discussions were happening beforehand, then the shitposter latched onto them and started being annoying with them, toru x mano is another example of that.so now no one can bring that up without anons throwing a fit when just the other day we saw an anon make a very real post about how he liked toru x mano. shits dumb, i didn't even say a single negative thing about cg at all, just that ml is going to get a new game based on the info we currently have but because some jackass made some branchwar post off of that, apparently i'm shitposting and i'm lumped in with it and the discussion is completely shut down.
>>483706968They are the same person, newfag.
>>483707015S-sugoi what can't she do?
>>483706869>implying this is somehow a level of insanity beyond himAnon.We are talking about the guy who copypastes entire Twitter conversations as if they are happening here.You genuinely do not understand just how far this fucking psychopath is willing to go to kill the general.
>>483706843>captures Tenka’s gamer slouch Kino. I think you proved them wrong >>483706618
>>483707110Whatever you say, SakuyaP
>>483706880I mean I don't think it is just one person anymore. But the "classic" schizo used to be completely anti CG before moving to ML. But I don't fucking know anymore there is way too many idiots in these threads since MOIW, SM dying also changed something.
>>483706869The earlier discussion about the SC anime was relatively fair, in the sense that it highlights both the good points and the bad points. But, there's that "a bad remark is enough to ruin a dozen compliments" (just paraphrasing, forgot the actual quote) maxim so anyone with a vendetta would just pick on and parrot it.
>>483705491For SC it's easy, I just get called an SMP if I hate on any of the SCs.
>>483693571Japanese teens are just as autistic as western teens jesusI see them all the time on tiktok drawing Haikyuu yaoi
>>483707242SakuyaP is so insecure.
Maybe y'all need to stop talking and thinking about the shitposter(s) since you're just doing what he wants.
>>483707375It's the post thread anywayAlso I don't think about them, I live in their mind (rent free)
>>483707185>We are talking about the guy who copypastes entire Twitter conversations Or screenshots. I remember when /@/ used to ignore those posts but the past few threads we’ve had retards replying to it each time.
Posting idols instead.>>483707318Teenagers are always autistic.
>>483706534Yeah, no one read the events due to most being EoPs but I can appreciate the game doing a ton of events related to it. They also had the advantage of having actual new songs you can learn to enjoy (due to forced repitition). I wasn't that hot on Wonder Box but I've turned around after the event.SfP and Enzamas didn't maximize the animes runtime too much outside of the obligatory Omake which apparently is where some of the development went. Honestly, they really should've just made new songs over a S2 or sprinkled s few more familiar ones.
gook moot-sama please bring back the IP counter I beg you lmao
>>483707553>I remember when /@/ used to ignore those postsThey always got the most (You)s
>>483706843I prefer this natural walking than the over exaggeration in >>483703583
>>483707761Tenga's slouch does make sense.
>>483707109It'll be okay anon, and I agree with the first half of your post. I wasn't trying to imply you were a shitposter, just that I see no value in discussing those leaks until we get confirmation on any of the info from them as it relates to SC/ML/CG. But people also have to learn how to chill out and not take the bait. The Hana stuff could have been avoided if no one engaged with the absolute dogshit schizo bullshit he was saying when he started saying it. You can't refute schizophrenia, you just have to ignore it until he passes out or gets bored then have the conversation then.
>>483706843>Chiyuki's hand clipping into her skirt
>>483707693This is true, even if some of them are him replying to himself it's always terrible posts like those that get the attention. It's why I can't really have faith in the rest of you, these past 3 threads are an example of /@/ just enjoying the show. /@/ posting about their shitposters is like going out of your house and you see a pile of shit and instead of walking around it you start screaming about how much you hate that shit while rolling all over it
>>483707274It's not just SideM, the crabs in a bucket mentality exploded because Gakuen is doing so well and most branches are in a weird spot. SideM is obvious, SC has had an unfortunate half a year, CG doomposting is at an all time high, and I've seen ML Producers getting upset about Gakuen getting figures when their idol hasn't gotten one yet.
1000!
ez
>>483706562She's moving like one those tiktok girls who mimic animation by speeding up and slowing down their video at certain parts
>>483708043Nichicka looks ready to kancho Mikoto.
>>483708172Oh god Rio WOULD be a Tiktok girl
>>483707990Read her commus, that's canon.
My wife
*chu chu chu**camera focuses on the legs*
>>483708009>and I've seen ML Producers getting upset about Gakuen getting figures when their idol hasn't gotten one yet.I wanna make it clear if any of my posts are in your mind, that while I am upset there has been no Shiz figure, it has nothing to do with Gakuen getting figures (I'm looking forward to Lilja figure announcement, come on make it happen) and more the realization that it has been 11 years and where the duck is my main trip figures how am I supposed to complete a set like this, I'll even accept swimsuit figures at this rate so long as they're not prize figures.
Okay, I'll be blunt: I slept through the stream and am still catching up. However, the thread isn't close to the end of the board and I've almost got all the news.Please continue swimming naked.
>>483708348>where the duck is my main trip figuresYou need to recalibrate your autocorrect, my man
>>483708339If only they were barefoot that would have made sense.
>>483708172Those kind of videos are fucking awful but yes it does look like that
I’ll wait to post my game question in the new thread
>>483708417I know, I hate it.
>>483708009ML is kinda fine compare to the rest
>>483708348Isn't there one more hurdle if Shizuka gets a figure?
>>483708470Try removing the cartridge and blowing on the connectors.
>>483706291WHY IS THE BEST GIRL IN SHANIMAS THE FUCKING SECRETARY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>483708348Are you phone posting at the bus stop?
>>483708582But Fuyuko isn't a secretary, though?
>>483708548I believe that for Basa to get a figure, Shiz has to get one. It's not happening without it because why would you just randomly make a Basa figure? Whereas if you make a Shiz figure to go with the old Mirai figure we'll you might as well finish the trio and also give Basa one. Or just make a new set with all 3.
bro I just want a figure is that too much to ask?
If Ayumu got a figure then your idol can too.
>>483708562Do any of the new idols know what a cartrdige is? They're like born past the year 2000.
>>483708348As a CGP who has never touched ML even I'm offended that there's no Shizuka figure.
Ayumu got a figure?
Ritsuko really does say what's on her mind because why when you pick Go My Way or Here We Go!! she really does say "Why did you pick such a shit song for me to sing"
>>483708752No way, they'd need to be a dev favorite first
>>483708752that VoViDa set is never going to get completed is it?
>>483708804Probably the S.H. Figuarts of the dance idols?
>>483708602I am phone posting from my dining room while drinking some shitty coffee. Why a bus stop?
>>483708804
>>483708403Take your time.
>>483708804The S.H. Figuarts.
>>483708727Now would be the time for Shizuka to get a figure, the anime boosted her popularity if the Famitsu results are any indication. We'll see if she gets a border boost soon too.
>>483708804she has a pretty nice figure
>>483708883Who would be the Vi and Vo reps? Who would be GK's Da rep?
>>483708790It's weird how fucking Mirai has a figure but her more popular friends don't. And it's not like ML doesn't have a popularity bias (see Mugi and Kaori).
>>483708403I’ll make the thread. We don’t have to wait for one person to do it.
I bet Luca doesn’t wash her armpits.
>>483708883They were never going to do vo and vi anyway, they only did this voting because they wanted to shill that one PL banner and their idols. Seira was irrelevant and Makoto was just another AS figure.
>>483709091I'm pretty sure Mirai's figure is from the MOIW set that also includes Harurun and Dookie from 10 years ago and that's why she has one.
>>483709146they would have if it actually sold out, but neither the figures or dance idols chosen were that appealing
Alstroemeria's live has begun. The lights start to shine, but only Amana and Tenka have taken the stage. A silence falls over the audience as everyone is concerned about Chiyuki's whereabouts. All of a sudden, the spotlights begin to change their target. They point towards the wall at the back of the hall. Everyone thinks this must be a huge failure on the part of the tech crew, but all of a sudden, it happens. From beyond the venue's structuring, THE CHOOKSTER comes floating in, noclipping through everything. She gracefully descends to take position between the Osaki twins. At last, she takes the mic and utters her iconic phrase, "Wow, what a big hamburger!" The crowd erupts into cheers.
>>483708403Just make the new one nerd, who cares.
>>483709285No she has another figure by GSC
>>483659701New thread: >>483709406Cute thread: >>>/c/4333521Nude thread: >>>/e/2836133Lewd thread: >>>/h/7933007Seiyuu thread: >>>/jp/47109670
>>483709091Mano and Meguru have figures while Hiori doesn't. Figure makes move in mysterious ways.
Arisa never got a figure.
>>483709324>,Wow, what a big hamburger!I clapped and came a bit.
>>483709146If they're gonna shill PL banners, I hope they go for Easter (Iori/Ryo/Amana) for Vi and Anniversary (Chihaya/Kaede/Chiyuki) for Vo.
I legitimately didn't know Shiz doesn't have a figure (not even a prize figure?). But honestly I don't care.
>>483688473They let a 15 year old wear THAT.
>>483688473How do I take off the shorts?
>>483688443>>483688473Holy sexoooo
>>483707761ML anime has normal walking too.Akane's scenes are exaggerated because she's Akane.
>>483707948>I see no value in discussing those leaks until we get confirmation on any of the info from them as it relates to SC/ML/CGi respect your opinion and i think we'll know one way or another next year. unless plans really changed in the past 4 years like how the gk girls got redesigns.>But people also have to learn how to chill out and not take the baitagreed. sucks to see people forget to not feed the trolls.
>>483707274>the "classic" schizo used to be completely anti CG before moving to MLThat's not true at all though.They literally spent years screaming about how TD was going to die at any moment. They would spam the thread with sales and revenue charts every single day. When the ML anime was announced, they spent three years straight going absolutely fucking insane about how bad it looked, to the point where it was impossible to discuss anything at all without them having an anti-ML meltdown. I remember it was Koume's birthday, and they went on an insane anti-ML anime tirade because Koume was "ML-coded" or some shit like that. Speaking of which, they also once tried to spin the Roco vs Fuka vote as being ML vs CG because "Fuka is CG-coded".Claiming that the shitposter never targeted ML is an absolutely fucking absurd narrative.
>>483711508I'm pretty sure that guy is talking about the schizo's posting during 2015 and 2016You know, when TD wasn't a game that existed yet
>>483711753Yeah, they were anti-ML back then too.They claimed it was "stillborn" and that it would never get a game like SS.
