Remember when Haruka killed Chihaya's afuu?
Funny enough, the GK ship ranking is perfect for powerlevel scaling since it's easy to indicate which route their on.https://catudon.mydns.jp/tool/gam-character-tier/For now I tried to avoid winning NIA as a Fest since everyone did that. China and Mao have shown significant feats in their Step 3.Misuzu and Temari probably shouldn't be in PS level but I'll just give it to them anyways.

i love Nono!
What everyone needs to understand is that China reads all the same smut that Ume does but unlike Ume, she's completely comfortable with the topic and even flirts back at GKP, teases him and actively invites him on home dates. However dirty you think Ume is, China is even more sexual.
>>561276721We will be voting for Kanade first before any unvoiced idols
China is a weird name

>>561278561>they’re also pureAmi is literally there dude
>>561278783Absolutely nothing. All her blood is in her penis right now
I've been in and out of the franchise since 2011 and I still don't know the difference between Ami and Mami.
>>561278858
>>561275902ZZZ
>>561278871Mami is the slutty one, though?
>>561275504>Can Beat Pros>Translation: Stronger than Noctchill
>>561279056
>>561275149Ume on Saki's route is literally also beating pros, except instead of fighting like her life depends on it, she's the one terrifying them.This is why nobody is taking your assessment seriously.
>>561279296
>>561275504Where’s Nadeshiko?
>>561278991Slutty one with ponytail on the left is Mami and the cute one with the pony tail on the right is Ami.

>>561280562thanks for viewing
>>561280553yea but shes nonexistent in my idols route so shes a fraud
>>561280553The only timeline that matters is my idol’s and she didn’t win there.
Mio is unforgettable.
I don't like that it was Endless Dance. Ume should have won with Dorothy.
>>561276896>>561277535wsup nono
Am I crazy or does all the new 15th anni CG stuff only have bamco's stamp on it. I haven't seen the CyGames logo on any of it. Seems like we're also using the old logo instead of the SS one as well.
>>561279434Does she? Don't they just say they're going to send her off but there's no confirmation she's actually beaten anyone.

>>561276721*slurp*
>>561281730>>Ume is said to be defeating professional idols and breaking their spiritsPost proof
>>561280553Winning a glorified title in a branch for toddlers isn't an accomplishment. "B-But she can beat Sena and Saki who can beat pros" Koito and Yayoi are pros. Anyone can be an idol, well anyone that isn't retarded enough to waste money in a glorified scam school.
>>561281491They create a plan to make Ume even stronger on day 1 of Project Stardust. It only has two components: get her her own song, and send her tearing through the pros.A few days later, they confirm that their own training is working, but Ume is still growing faster than them. That means their plan for her is working, and it's clearly not because her song is ready.
>>561281670Zutto shine on mie~, Starlighto Stagey...
>>561274631>GK Lilja's VA is sick:I read that as Lilja's VA stick
I can't wait for the next CG game to come out.Starlight Stage had a great run but I'm ready for the zombie mode to end so I can have new cards of my idol to look forward to again with better looking 3d models.
>>561281364I noticed that for the PAD collab artwork too.
>>561281730Until she beats a titan of the industry like Tenka on screen none of that counts.
>>561282115I mean, she's growing faster but that doesn't mean she's scared or even bested some Pros. If Sena said something solid like she won an audition, than sure.To add, the way Sena speaks about Visual Master, how she's worried about it, makes it sounds like she hasn't even thought of sending Ume to something that hard which they did go over.I don't even know why she went "Even Class 3 does those..." because it makes it sound like the Class 3 are the actual strongest in the school.
>>561282446I always have fun when I open the app back up and tell myself I'll start doing it every day again, but then I don't for a few days.>>561278306We must fight for the Chika voice.
>>561282654I still log in everyday and take pictures of my idol but it's starting to become repetitive since there's no new content to look forward to.
F U C KC H I N A
>>561281730Why bother? These are the same people who swore Saki would never lose. Nothing will ever be good enough for these contrarians.
>>561282597We joke but this is true. Sena's whole point is to elevate HIF to a competition that shows Top Idols. A common factor among Step 3 is almost every idol gets their training outside the school which isn't really a good sign.Also, Tenka is more popular than more than half of the SC cast so thats pretty impressive.
Are there clips of the tv version of HC uploaded on YT or elsewhere? I never heard what CharP sounded like and I'm curious.
>>561282921We joke about it and don't discuss her much but... Kotone didn't get any training outside of the school. That means she's the strongest.
>>561277932>>561279001You're a good dude
I admit it: We trained Kotone wrong. As a joke. Vo trainer thought it would be really funny to have her scream half her lyrics and have the crowd scream the other half instead of actually singing.
>>561282654>cheeks & kog: chika tika chika chika chika chika tika->kao: BOM BOM>chika tika chika chika chika chika tika->BOM BOM>chika tika chika chika chika chika tika->BOM BOM>chika tika chika chika chika chika tika->BOM BOM
>>561282921>Also, Tenka is more popular than more than half of the SC cast so thats pretty impressive.If we go by SC scaling, then "pros" also include the faceless shitters you annihilate every time you do a Koito WING runAs a label it covers a pretty wide spectrum
If we're scaling idols who can beat pros then Kotone should count. She beat Gekka after all.
>>561282641They made the plan. The set the plan into motion. They later commented that the plan is working. What more do you want? If Sena did say she won an audition like you're asking for, you'd say there's no proof it was against professionals like they're doing. If she specified it was against pros, you'd say it was probably lower-ranked pros than they're facing. If they were higher ranked, you'd say we know what Saki and Sena's floor is after beating pros, but not their ceiling.Legitimately why in the hell would you think she's worried about Ume facing pros? Ume is clearly established as currently facing pros. The worry is at the suggestion that they themselves face off against pros, because she knows they're not yet in the same league as Ume.
>>561283807Buddy, didn't you get the memo? In this general when I want to push the agenda that my idol > your idol then beating any pro is an accomplishment.
Momoko (11) is a professional idol

>>561281364Outside dev mention on title screen and "special partner" slot on VA lives until now, CG stuff always had only iM@S/BNEI stamp, so in that department not much changed.While it wasn't really officially stated, based on various comments from radio shows, staff letters shown on SS exhibition, interview with Bamco P & Cygames scenario director from SS10th Memorial Book, situation is like:- Bamco has basically full control over the series now, with scenarios and various rights transferred from Cygames and being actually the one in charge of all developments related to CG from now .- Cygames is keeping Starlight Stage in Bahamut-like state (according to datamined stuff, should be up at least until the end of 2028), but won't be involved in development from now (knowing them. they probably gonna be one of sponsors during lives tho)That period between CG Fes and spring stream was most likely related to finalizing rights transfer and other stuff, including that new Bamco-owned venue where CG xR live will be held in August.Also, going with some hints (including that one pre-corona leak), they probably started transitioning to Bamco-led CG just after first 10th anni tour, while SS major downsizing was the checkpoint when it entered main phase.

>>561290667Is this good or bad news for us CGboomers? Can we get out of limbo status and get a new game now all this shit is settled?
>>561292325Did you miss that he misspelled "waist" or are you holding her shit, short king?
>>561293868>get a new game now all this shit is settled?It's likely going to be in a state similar to SideM: no game, relatively more songs compared to its current zombie mode, more of the usual goods (acryl, etc).
>>561279858The Supernova is a nice touch. Took me a minute to figure out why a Sense idol is using an Anomaly skill.
>>561292618bring me Prima Stella
>>561293309The full transparent force
>>561294475my schizo take a couple of years ago was that the current state of sidem was a beta test to see if they could get away with doing this with other branches. i'm guessing not having a game works out just fine.
>>561294567Here ya go. Her bed time's at 9 so don't keep her out too late.
>>561289840Miyu and Venus are the only choices for me

>>561294475>relatively more songs compared to its current zombie modeML before TD had so many songs, I still miss it.>>561295358If we still get the content we'd get with the games(story etc.) then I'm fine with it.Not having a game is a shame for filthy gaijin who can't do the local stuff though.
>>561295638Cute Koito
How many times does Ume need to lose to Goku before she can beat him?
>>561295748
>>561292618Is Saki schizo enough for this reference?
>>561296081Aside from those two is there any other cool glasses dood that could join them?
>>561292618Now this is silly, it's just a standard meditation pose.
>>561295596You can try putting Ume to bed at 8 but she just vibrates in place for an hour because she has too much energy. If you want her asleep by then, you need to give her something that will actually tire her out during the day.Anyway hope she has fun with Sakurakazamiya.
You must see the world through the eyes of a Z W@rrior
>>561288189Mai-chan
>>561294475If they're doing this to CG then they'll do it to ML too. AS is already active only via TD. If you're right, and I hope you're wrong, then Bamco is downscaling Im@s to cut themselves the effort - a terrible decision if you ask me. One of the things that distinquishes Im@s from the rest is its large scale and 20 year legacy. If Bamco's grand plan is to reduce Im@s to just SC and GK, primarily the latter, then where will we even be in 5 years?
My 3rd auto SS. Nice.
>>561296831She looks mindbroken for some reason.
>>561296727>If they're doing this to CG then they'll do it to ML too.i was thinking the same thing but the old leaked chart did show a massive spike for million live whereas cinderella girls tapered off so bamco might give ml 1 more game(potentially a separate app for the produce mode that we still haven't heard shit about for like a year?) before doing what they're doing to sidem.
>>561296727It's sad but the seiyuus are getting old, it's going to happen eventually.Just listening to Haruka talk to Mirai in the anime made me sad. She sounded so old and frail, like the old lady in Anastasia.
>>561283851You're making a lot of assumptions for a guy with no proof.
>>561296727Sadly, game development takes longer nowadays that most companies just put out 1 or 2 games, support that through DLC while they work on a new one in the background.>If Bamco's grand plan is to reduce Im@s to just SC and GK, primarily the latter, then where will we even be in 5 years?One active game being supported while preparing for the next installment. Basically like how there's only Tekken and no Soul Calibur. That said, there will be more focus on MR stuff so they'll still be around in some form.
>>561296681
>>561297068I hope you're joking. She's not even in her 50s yet.
>>561296958Isn't produce mode already confirmed to run on the TD engine? Sounds more like something they're saving for the inevitable content reduction>>561297068True but this is why refusing to replace them is a flawed philosophy.>>561297284At that point it won't feel like Im@s anymore, I'm afraid.
>>561296727It's not necessarily downscaling, it's the post-gacha worldBasically pivoting to doing monetization the way vtubers do it instead of relying on mobile games that are becoming increasingly unviable economically
>>561297525>Isn't produce mode already confirmed to run on the TD engine?the wording made it sound like it could be another app even during the beta test for it iirc.
Bros...imas doesn't really make that much money to warrant multiple branches of development at once. Even hoyo basically only has 3 big titles.
>>561297518I am not joking.
>>561297525>refusing to replace them is a flawed philosophy.Fuck off and kill yourself.
>>561297613I mean, even if its a separate app it literally already had a beta test which confirmed that it runs on the TD engine. And from what I understand, it will add one route a month with old songs like Shiho's solo?>>561297713Okay /jp/ anon, slow breaths.
>>561297713ok fine. what about AI voice?
>>561297713you fuck off. I don't want my idol to be discarded because some hag can't go anymore.It's not like other franchises haven't replaced voices before.
>>561297872I take it you're posting in bad faith but that is a legit option Bamco should consider.
>>561297819>I mean, even if its a separate app it literally already had a beta test which confirmed that it runs on the TD engine.it's not unheard of for them to make a mock version using td models before replacing it with newer assets in another app. td uses unity, it's not like that's some super special in house engine.
>>561296952Who? Luca?

>>561298080No but you certainly sound like one. Only trannies would want to dump someone because of old age.
>>561297981Well, we will have to see. Was it even fun though. I remember trying it and not understanding what I'm supposed to do.>>561297991Yep.
>>561297525>At that point it won't feel like Im@s anymore, I'm afraid.I've heard that "At that point it won't feel like <X> anymore" phrase thrown around a lot, especially for stuff and genre struggling in the current times. But, sadly, that's just the reality. Heck, even Gakuen initially got that thanks to the school setting.That said, I just hope Bamco do put out an offline version or something. Wait, scratch that: put out some sort of legacy collection of the old games.
>>561298139This has nothing to do with "dumping" your favorite seiyuu.
>>561298139Pretty sure the companies involved aren't ran by trannies so idk what you're going on about.
>>561297097lm@o
>>561298139You're literally okay with doing that though.
It will be fine
>>561298149>Was it even fun thoughit was alright, the poker mechanics were an okay idea that could be expanded upon to make it better though and it had all the old im@s mini games which was cool to see and made it feel like the psp games. it could still just be a throwaway mode in td like you're suggesting but gathering player feedback to make their next game better would be the smart thing to do if they do make it a separate app. with komino being pulled off gk, it's possible they brought him in to try to make the next ml game as successful as gk was if it is aiming to be a separate production app. personally, i'd like to see them make an actual console game since the td team is the consolemas team but that is pure unfiltered hopium and extremely unlikely.
"It" will be "fine".
Is Ume the current StuCo President in Saki's route? Why would anyone ever vote for China who Sena has neglected over Ume? It's one thing if your nepobaby SCP says to vote in another nepobaby. It's another if she lost and still tells you to vote for her.
Stella stage was the last good im@s gameOne for all was the last great im@s game
>>561298268I hate to be the one saying this but hopefully the AI breakthrough happens soon enough and allows for easier game asset development.>Gakuen initially got that thanks to the school settingThat's even the most odd thing about that branch, considering what Im@s has been known for in the last decade. If anything, it's Bamco going back to a small scale that alienated me, and now it starts to feel intentional and I don't like that.
>>561298149She always does that face when you get a high score.She's happy.
Maybe it's time for a new consolem@s
>>561298756Ume is helping China.
>>561298840>She's happy.She has that function built in?
Juri is a girl?!
>>561298756Ume was already the workhorse in China's route. I don't think she wants to be President. She just wants to help her friend who's more suited to it.
>>561293868>>561296727In terms of content, we should be fine or even better, with SideM-like portal being one of main sources for content in the future, alongside more collabs and stuff. In terms of new game, it's pretty uncertain considering current BN's push for other stuff than games (especially Namco IPs) and more reorganization (including 765 Pro being rebranded to IP production department).Gonna admit that then at least learned from rough 3.0 start and didn't decide to EoS Deresute which even in zombie state has a lot of stuff to do (MVs, AR stuff etc.), just to replace it with half-assed Bandori/Proseka clone number 876 without content.Re: leaks: around Suisei collab, there was also allegedly leaked slide from internal BNS roadmap which mentioned, even if dates mismatched a bit, new CG game + rights transfer from CyberAgent/Cygames, Tours release etc (i assume "Finale" part for ML refers to Aigura), but actual credibility was never proven.Since that Chinese leak was pre-COVID and pre-3.0 + it was assuming GS living much longer, seems like a lot of things had to change by now. With MR Project AS not having to rely that much on ML anymore + SideM performing pretty nice in + CG being in Bamco hands from now and with a lot of potential to milk people, might imply that "power ranking" within iM@S became completely different from initial plan (while Gaku/Shiny being still priority).
>>561299229This is Chitose dood
>>561299229Shouts out to the artist adding tummy and thigh peeks even if they make no sense
>>561296681Something happening with Mai? I saw a bunch of new art of her, and she usually doesn't get much.
It's not like this franchise hasn't replaced VAs, like the one in SideM and the four guys lady.
>>561299134Most of it is only shown to Mikoto.
>>561298840Ruca scares me whenever I do an auto and she does her evil voice line
>>561299265>we should be fine or even better, with SideM-like portal being one of main sources for content in the futureI only consume 3D game content, so it's not fine for me. >In terms of new game, it's pretty uncertain considering current BN's push for other stuff than gamesThis is the kind of direction shift that worries me. Im@s just reached a major milestone in its 20th anniversary and instead of being smart and using that momentum they are putting all their efforts into downscaling the franchise and turning it into a merch machine. Worst case I'll play other games more, like Proseka and the new Bandori, but it's just such a shame.
>>561299583A part of CG Asakusa collab + new casual outfit got released for her.
>>561299617You forgot Yukiho. CG Trainer Sisters might count too but even that took a long while.
>>561299817Yukiho's was a sad story
>>561299318All idols look the same...
>>561299583New Comic LO issue just dropped
>>561298948Only if Scamco actually tries this time.
>>561299805>instead of being smart and using that momentum they are putting all their efforts into downscaling the franchise and turning it into a merch machineLikely risk aversion, especially with how Bamco is probably reeling in from a lot of stuff not performing as expected (there's like what, Blue Protocol, Synduality). As in "rather slow down the momentum than go head full speed and crashing into a wall with little to no time to pivot when there's a sudden turn like Lancer driving a dragster in Carnival Phantasm".
>>561299617Those are rarity and under certain circumstances, not being on their fucking 40s, this is a bad faith argument

>>561300397>its bad faith if i dont like itYou sound like a liberal
>>561298948As much as I would like that there's just no point to it, there's a lot more shekels to be made with gacha.
>>561299265This has been debunked a hundred times you retard
>>561300250Also remember that all these game failures made Scamco reconsider how their game development will go from now on, with more emphasis on good development rather than fast and without test development
>>561299802Mao...
>>561300639Love dem girls.
>>561300250Don't forget mobile failures like Tales of Luminaria as well, which they went out of their way to even have a couple of anime episodes for.

>>561300952cute way of calling someone smart sounding.
>>561299708She spooked me sometimes when I left SC in the background and she started laughing like a saiko.
How do I get a woman to think about me the way Sena thinks about Ume?
Im@s game made by naughty dog
>>561300736Actual brand new consolem@s is probably way too much for Namco but I feel like there's no reason for them to not just throw an OFA remaster together because they always have like a dozen remaster/remakes coming out at any given time.Off topic but it's kind of ridiculous that there's not a single game in the 1st Vision / solo produce style that has all of the current AS cast in it despite the AS cast being set in stone 15 years ago at this point. Seems like that would be the ideal game to rerelease/remaster but it doesn't exist
>>561301268Be Kotone.
>>561301174They recently cancelled Fate Extra remake didn't they?
>>561300250There's also the matter that with gacha games growing more and more expensive to make, the risk itself keeps growing. GK was no doubt the most expensive im@s game yet, and it still pales in terms of production values compared to chink gamesThe whole 2010s' mantra of gacha games being low risk high reward doesn't really hold up to scrutiny anymore
>>561301805They didn't cancel it, they backed out of funding it. It was another outsourced project so it's entirely in Type-Moon's ballpark at that point
>>561301907they used to just be low res 640x800 jpg cards and static pngs.good ol days...
>>561301174Bamco wanted to have more control over the whole IP for sake of potential expansion, while Cygames was aiming to focus on their original stuff (to the point that apparently they even rejected Yoko Taro's request to make Nier mobile game).Even if they were always passionate about CG, even after Uma becoming one of most popular IPs, with Saige becoming one of major game companies cooperation formula that worked for many years became some kind of obstacle for both sides in the end.In this way, keeping SS playable and potentially appearing as one of sponsors (most likely not special slot anymore tho) is like Cygames' token of gratitude for being huge part of their history.
>>561301547It needs a big push for it to happen IMO considering they don't like taking risks. The only reasons the ps3 tales games are being ported right now is because there's a demand for it.
https://arca.live/b/mltd/165677445?p=1
Shizuka's worried face expressions in the anime made me a bigger fan of her than I used to be.
>>561302169>Even if they were always passionate about CG, even after Uma becoming one of most popular IPs, with Saige becoming one of major game companies cooperation formula that worked for many years became some kind of obstacle for both sides in the end.KMR stepping down probably moved the entire company in a different direction too. He had his hand in so many projects including Starlight Stage.>In this way, keeping SS playable and potentially appearing as one of sponsors (most likely not special slot anymore tho) is like Cygames' token of gratitude for being huge part of their history.It's literally free election money every year, the election money this year will pay for the server costs and then some and the "reward" for players that spend money on their idol is a concert that they'll have to pay money to see.
When you think about it, outside of her own route and Sena's, Kotone gets giga-cucked almost as bad as Rinami.

Some extra context because I really need people to know this:-There's an extremely popular franchise in Japan called Idolmaster-In 2011 it got a mobile social network spin-off game called Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, of which one of the starting characters is called Kaoru Ryuzaki-In 2015, Cinderella Girls got an anime adaptation and Kaoru received a voice actress, called Natsumi Haruse-Tsurumaikada (Medalist author) is a fan of Haruse, who eventually revealed she LOVES Ice Skating, so he made Medalist and modelled protagonist Inori Yuitsuka after Kaoru Ryuuzaki-Haruse herself became a fan of Medalist, played Inori in the anime, and narrated an ad for the manga before that-Kenshi Yonezu (singer of the anime opening) himself offered to sing the opening because he also was a fan of the manga-Supposedly most animators who worked on S1 also were fansIf any one anime was made with love, it was Medalist
>>561303320No one fucking cares about that souless anime, it's shit and an insult to the manga, stop trying to shill for it
>>561303516Sounds like you got your jimmies rustled, anon.
>>561303320i read it for you, man
>>561302967GhostsAliensHeihachi MishimaPac-Man (both as a game and as a person)
>>561303564Sounds like you need rape correction
>>561302967SRW is real in the sense that characters like Euzeth Gozzo are just actual actors/celebrities (they look exactly like that) but, just like in Kirari Robot April Fools, there also exists a parallel universe/dimension where those fictional stuff are real. Travelling to the iM@S universe is possible as seen with Taichi and Agumon.
>>561303320Medalist is kind of an interesting production because the anime delivers on everything a fan could reasonably ask for but it's very apparent that the manga was never made to be adapted and the anime suffers severely from that fact. Arcs any cleanly organized so both seasons end in weird spots. The anime is gorgeous but it can't translate a lot of the manga art. A lot of scenes have to be compromised to work animated because the manga relies on paneling strategies originally
>>561303516The anime is actually better, good choreography and amazing music. The manga art is too unclean and edgy
>hat>skirt with accesories that don't cover their buttwill we get these in the game?

>>561298595To be honest I don't think a ML console game would do justice even with bamco trying, too many girls to have real substance, making them unique in gameplay etc. It might need another formula entirely.
>>561305863We love Hana, not Amana
>>561305972Probably why I vibe more with Chihiro since he uses his true skills there. As long as it's something with no stakes his writing shines it was like that in Oreimo. It all went to shit in the last arc especially that infamous ending.

>>561310810Thinking about the SM polls we used to have that had separate questions for what idols you'd want to top and what idols you'd want to top you.
>>561310997True.
>>561309937Everyone loves eggplant
>>561311046It's an important distinction
>>561309680I hereby sentence all those Neech antis to the PP exploding chamberI hope they've made peace with Luca...
>>561310882>>561310884afraid your idol will lose?
Mika and Rika are better
>>561310678It's easy to like but it takes effort to hate
>>561310801Saki's legs are pretty skelly too, the only legs that I'd consider normal when it comes thickness are Temari's and Rinami's
>>561309967Worse this in Osaka
>>561310745
>>561311143Say that to my face and not online and see what my idol does to you
>>561311143The survey has been a fun thing to have in the past. I wonder if you fags will ruin it this year like you did with the GK survey
>>561309523Which branch are these idols from
>>561311203I'm sorry Hana-sama but... sukikira has spoken you are the most hated SC girl.
New GK popularity evidence on the number of acrylic stands bought in each branch for the onsen Collab...I'm kidding it's just a lottery announcement.https://x.com/gokurakuyu_spa/status/2036247122371055814?s=20
>>561311320SC survey has always been fine since SCPs are adults and civilized.
>>561311330>Trump and Epstein I don't know Japanese, but I can take a guess at what branch this is...

Disheartening news. Someone left their Mami in a train station and now it's being sold on Mercari for 120K yen.
>>561311737but i thought japan was full of honorable people
>>561311737How does he know it's his.
>>561311794not in this economy
>>561311737Mamimi is such a prankster
>>561311516Ume's favorite shonen, Saint Seiya
Leaker-sama pls… the Mei unit…
>>561311737At least the comment section seems to be reporting that it's the stolen mochi, so it seems not all honor is lost.
>>561311794Some guy left 700+ USD worth of nui out in the open. Even the most honorable person would have a hard time ignoring it
>>561311516Unironically, SP or consolemas. And Ore no Imouto. Most of the GK sisters plots only makes sense when you know the bullshit OreImoMan had actually written.
>>561309967
>>561311926most people wouldn't know that it is worth that much

>>561311936Do you actually need to know more than "the little sister is better at everything"? And is that actually good for anything but trivia in this case?
Mei will be the centerMei will be also the leaderMei will bare her breastsMei will save SfP
>>561311943Don't rape your Madomochi
>>561312109>almost a million yenI hate AI so fucking much for inflating everything.
>>561312109>and that’s... how you install the long dongs mod for Monster Hunter, Chiyuki-san...
>>561312142Oreimo's theme is about a little sister and her brother reconnecting after falling out with each other which leads to something more. GK is a bad fit for it because the twins relationship is very different from what Kyouske and Kirino have.
Take care of your fucking mochis people. I hope that guy learned his lesson. That MMM is being trafficked...
>>561312193Every member of Straylight being a center? Oh my favoritism
Can a CGP boy and a book idol girl really fall in love?.....
>>561311516Law of Ueki
>>561312340Boob idol girl?
>>561312193Insemination idol.
>>561312193I'm a bad man, but I'd sniff Mei's butt for sure.
>>561310745>>561311179Ahahaha....
>>561312320They blew it when they let Asahi double dip instead of taking the easy way out and using Madoka. It will look bad now no matter what they do. Really, they shouldn't have gotten people's hopes up with the borderline key visual in the first place
TemaNui has learned that not all Nuis are equal...
>>561306980from all of the branches they still have the best songs
>>561312142Also the black-haired girl with the cat ears is so much better than everyone else.
>>561312529True, it was misleading as fuck and I sympathize with our TenkaP and others that ended up getting taken for Takayama's wild ride again.
>>561306980I just got into it. Just raw dogging it.
CG should collab with GK and it should be Sachiko and Kaede specifically.
>>561312320It's ok if it's Mei because poor girl barely gets anything. Fuyu and Asahi already have more than enough.
>>561312729The power scaling would be insane.
Did you know that Oreimoman abandoned a series about a guy that turns into a girl and then his sister grows a futa dick to focus on GK.
>>561309680Bullshit website. Full of mentally ill people and edgy children. Very apparent from the reply chain and comments. Obvious bots and being able to vote every couple of hours or so doesn't make it better. Never post anything from this shitty website ever again.
>>561312295There's more to it than that. You can find some concepts that GK could have evolved from. Kirino being a runner and why she quit, Kyosuke becoming a producer for Kanako, Ayase being a proto Misuzu (started as Yuri shit obsseed with friend but became close to MC?). It's a bit more expanded on in both PSO games which are worth checking out.That said, I dipped out in Eromangasensei which is more recent so I have no idea if that has any threads to look at
Comiket is finally 3 days again apparently
>>561312340
>>561312953bet day 2 is for BA only, shit even got it's own section
>>561312906good, that shit sounds gay as fuck
>>561312906How did we snag a lead writer who is so based?
>>561313046Why are you even worried about BA? Some of you guys seem to have a strange unhealthy fixation with that series. So what if it's popular.
>>561312529>borderline key visual in the first placeThis is the very offending part to me. All that marketing for a year just to shoot the heads of the Ps for those girls except Haruki. Not to mention the complete unnecessary disrespect in streaming album arts. Why bother doing focus shots like this when literally everything else in the discography have been just the CD art as is?
>>561312340No, Fumika isn't interested in CGP that way
There's no single "CGP". We are many.
>>561312942I won't blame you on eromanga-sensei. That killed his rep until GK. The characters were so bland.
>>561311170My mental acquit is dropping, can't even spell wore.
>>561312906So Step 10 is gonna have canon Hanami futanari...
>>561312906GIWTWM
>>561312296This is lewd.
>>561312193Natsuha's center, buddy.
>>561313293The best parts of eromanga-sensei were the oreimo cameos. I cant believe he made an incest cinematic universe
>>561313183I mean, do you even say Haruki wasn't shot when people still seem to be only able to differentiate the two Futas by their chest size?
Koito will be the center of the remaining units. Yes, both.
>>561313521I like to believe that he wrote those to stick it to the execs by confirming that yes, Kyousuke and Kiririn are indeed still dating and fucking.
>>561313521There's also Hololive Vtuber cameos.
>>561313531Sorry for colorblind people, but the hairstyles are distinct too so you'd have to be just blind at that point.
Soniha, Sigma, Futabros...Our no.1 ranking?
>>561313642Can't blame him when Ijigenfes also had those and they were unsprisingly the worst part.
>>561313775I'm still confused why they didn't just use Va-Liv. Va-Liv was well received at MOIW, I'm sure they would've done fine at Ijigen even if most than half the audience was LLfags.
>>561313729Did ligma really not get #1?
Just realized the vtuber I've been watching for the past few months is probably based on Roco. She literally had the same name (Kaburaki Roco), has an art themed outfit, and had this peculiar speaking habits of saying weird random puns every minute. No wonder I really enjoyed watching her, don't know if all that was planned from the start
>>561313521My knowledge of oreimo and eromanga-sensei is takuji.
>>561313046BA panders to its audience. Maybe if GK did the same, it would get way more doujins.
>>561309680takayama derangement syndrome
>>561313907They do, they pander to women.
>>561313850Nope. Nobody shared the full song either.
>>561310607noctchill member hate is actually mostly done by Ps of other noctchill members. The unit historically has very poor cohesion among producers and a lot of MadokaPs hate Toru, etc. It's why even though everyone in the unit is at least upper half in popularity, they always do really poorly in scenario votes and shit because like, IlluminePs or AlstroePs will bloc vote for thier girl but noctchillPs will actually vote to spite their own unit members.
>>561313850I think Fumage just had proximity to the IQ hype. Also Ligma's songs are lame but japanese foids love that kind of slop, so I don't think the songd themsleves were the problem
>>561313907i dunno anon, there's a different reason gk has a ceiling compared to other gacha games or properties.
That's cute as fuck
>>561313976wfhtony has it, but I don't see it on nyaa. I can upload it here but it's flac
we love femPswe really do
Chiyuki, why are you here?
>>561313850The group's generating SNS buzz because of the buzz-bait lineup, but their songs are just not it. Takayama should be beheaded for this fumble.
>>561314309No. I really fucking hate women actually!
Imas is hiring ! No, not that way. What they mean is they want YOU to hire their idols. This is somehow different from Offumas too...Also, damn, how down bad is it when they need to use adspace for job offers. Feels like this should be done by managers reaching out to the companies?Who is going to walk past this and think "Hey, yeah, I do need a 2D PR person."https://x.com/imas_official/status/2036291184939917480?s=20
Ligma is the worse R7 unit, let's not kid ourselves. Their songs are just not appealing. Shame for Juri.
>>561314292Just upload it. Is it both songs or just SPD?
>>561314378Seiji...
>>561314431ligma was saved for me because I will get to see the seiyuu get on the floor
>>561313907BA gets so many because their copyright use is very lax iirc compared to of course Bamco.
>>561314492They're not doing that, let's be real.
>>561314292The full album is coming out on April 1st.It's not really in high demand but share it if you want.
>>561314431Their scenario was decent so I'll give them a pass.
>>561314431Worse than Soniha? I like Ligma for the humiliation dance.

>>561314492Did they squat walk when singing Borderline live?

>>561314624Stop being so dramatic.
I want to force Emily to read English words.
>>561314516Yes they will and they will enjoy doing it

GK only has like 16 characters, it's just never going to compete with shit that has 100+.
>>561314598Snifffff
>>561314593Danke
Super duper dreamer cums though
can we all take a break and just appreciate
I really love
FutaTora is actually very very very good. Too bad it's given to the 2 idols I don't care about. Their 2 songs are behind Fumage for me.I fear for the next 2 units.Duos are honestly better.
>>561314583>>561314817Sex
>>561314817The WACKs were laced with stimulants
>>561314903Matsuda Arisa
>>561314919Milk Trucks will save /@/, and Rinze's group will have Amanda so it's a guaranteed success.
>>561314593Can you share the Mano and Haruki song too?
>>561314919Do you mean the Commu? Cause no one has talked about it. Every other Commu has been mostly praised with consideration that they're too short.
>>561315025Nah, not the commu. The songs. Fumage and Futa are duos so they sound better.
>>561314834Sexy!
>>561315017https://files.catbox.moe/0tybpv.zip
>>561313907BA just panders to drawfags that's why they get so many doujins
>>561314834I want to fuck Konomi's delicious adult body so much
>>561315261not that i have a problem with it but wasn't it confirmed that BA actually paid a bunch of artists privately to astroturf the game
>>561315325yeahnot disclosing it is kind of slimy, rather companies be transparent about it
>>561315034if mikoto said it then it must be facts
>>561315325Why would you do that in secret?
>>561315208Arigatou, brother.
>>561315492to make it look like artists are engaging with it organically I guess
>>561315010Chiyuki isn't a good singer.
>is the literal anti-christ for the last 2 Refractions unitsBut whose side is she on?
>>561315616I don't particularly have strong feelings about her singing but I disagree
>>561315616Not a powerhouse but she's solid
>>561315763
Koito is a luck amulet you hereticThe real Dajjal is someone else...
>>561315763My side.

will koito choose to goon or gyatt
>>561316145Is there a problem?

Whatever, nerd

>>561314212>>561313907>>561314495Please elaborate
>>561317306Explain why it is alright
>>561317015I'll be honest, just thinking about how there are multiple people working hard to be idols who get maybe a few hundred views or so on their account after "working" as an idol for maybe 10 years kinds depresses me. And then there are the actual idols which is just pretty much just slop.This is why Imas is a thing. Just the ideal idol raising experience I guess.
>>561317306Would you even say it's FINE?
You'll take responsibility right?

>>561318615That's the wrong Kei...
>>561318469It does.
>>561318370Purple lipstick is pure lust.
>>561318615Did the chinese make a meishi creator or something? Some of these are ridiculous.
>>561312320It's like the Holy Trinity, they're each individually the center all at the same time.
>>561312906That's just Onimai.
>>561313173Not that anon but I look forward to the BA stuff, I like a lot of the designs. I hear DoReMi doesn't draw for the series anymore though, that's a shame.
>>561319140That's Cumetik actually, you described Cumetik. It's the unit that has God after all...
>>561319253God is dead...
>>561313974Guess I'm weird because I'm a guy who feels pandered to by GK. Or maybe I'm just easily satisfied and don't need Taimanin or Azur Lane-level stuff.
Yuika will be center.

>>561314407I'm so glad instead of video games and what not we just have Bamco literally begging in public for companies to give them opportunities to make more acryllic slop. Why produce idols when you can just clap when [company] "hires" [idol you like]
>>561319156she's not wearing panties
>>561319193Onimai is shit because the genderswap might as well not be a thing.
>>561317748I hate to break it to you anon, but that's basically every job in a saturated market. Unless you have connections or join a family business or luck out with shit or get unlucky with people who want to take advantage of you it's an endless struggle. And even if you do get a good job or succeed unless you're in an actually sane country or industry you're more likely than not to just burn out or get worked way too hard for not enough return.
>>561319336I'm not really the target audience with the school shounen stuff but I still like it.

It hit me that the Hanami stuff is probably for Uma fags

>>561319623I think I read somewhere about a Korean idol who worked for years only to end up with debt upon retirement due to payment for the whole training stuff, etc.
>>561319716Asahi looks psychotic here.
>>561319752Hasn't iM@S always been kinda shounen though? The school setting is new but idols struggling to reach the top has always been a major aspect of the series.>>561319837The Korean idol industry sounds like a K-Drama but is real life, crazy shit.
I thought to skip this but I'll do it anyways>In The Cute recording, Pikarun sang with actual tears flowing since she was told to "Sing as Iida" and remembered how bad she was in the Debut Live (Honestly, she was the best among the three so...)>More Maspi glazing>She knows she has a bad habit for forgetting the lyrics during lives so she practiced it a hundred times...but still forgot it anyways.>For Shuki, she wasnt told who Kotone was singing for but the MV matched who she wrote down (family, P, her fans, etc)>The first time she sang it, Pikarun sobbed uncontrollably from the emotion of the Thank you and had to retake it.>When I was told that we would be performing at "MOIW2025," I asked the staff in charge of the live performance, "Huh? Why?" I asked, "It's a joint live performance, are you sure it's okay to do it here" but they said that, after listening to the chants during the Sports Day MV, "they had to do it now">The demo of course had Hige Driver sing it...>Fuwa Fuwa is " about the genuine feelings of a high school student in love">During the recording for KachiDoki, she taped the manga panels to her music stand>For Shirube, Kotone is pretty free to sing off-key during live performances, but when she sings the school song, she's more of a model student>"Dance is Kotones weapon"...??? >On Jungle Party from MOIW: At first her and Yuri were so preoccupied with memorizing the choreography and we just couldn't remember the lyrics. We practiced as soon as we met but maybe we went a little too far, because when we did a full rehearsal, we were told, "The two from 'Gakumasu' are too quiet." She was impressed that Kami did a wave and suggested Ikus VA to do the drummingIt's insane to think that Kotone is actually the Ritsuko successor.

Wildest Flower had an article written on it for this website StashedMedia with a small interview by the director>The story centers on one of the game’s protagonists, Saki Hanami, a former athlete who experienced early success but also faced a setback in her youth. This piece portrays her journey of psychological rebirth, as she transforms from an athlete into a Japanese idol.>To evoke the ‘solitude and impatience inherent in genius, and a fiercely independent spirit,’ I intentionally stripped away the kind of excessive, colorful imagery often described as eye candy. Instead, I pursued what I would call eye protein, a restrained visual language defined by simplicity and bold character silhouettes.>Light in the film functions as a metaphor for Saki Hanami’s psyche: in one moment, a spark-like glow flickers deep within her eyes, representing her fighting spirit. This is rendered in a style reminiscent of the animated expressions of Norman McLaren. The recurring motif of light suggests an attempt to visualize the flow of music and emotion as if perceived directly on the retina.>“In that sense, this music video is an attempt to depict the intersection between a character’s inner life and the traditions of music videos and abstract animation, as seen in the works of artists such as Michel Gondry and John Whitney.>“In an era shaped by social media, where visibility within timelines and responsiveness to algorithms often dictate creative decisions, I hope this piece can offer a reminder of the value in depicting what cannot be seen. In that sense, this work carries something akin to a sense of faith or prayer for me as a filmmaker.https://www.stashmedia.tv/takashi-ohashi-calf-plant-the-wildest-flower-for-hatsuboshi-gakuen-in-new-music-video/
Thoughts on nipmen theories? She's just another FRIEZA-SAMA?
>>561320457only if they do that to pikarun too
>>561320769These nips have typical trash taste in shonen where they keep saying shit like "I want to see her burn out but I fully expect her to recover after". They are way too used to people doing these life sacrificing attacks and it not meaning shit at all.

>>561319752Do they do powerlevel discussion over there?
>>561320531Based
>>561319752you could say the same for the entirety of GK with the rival thing going on for everyone
>>561319752it hit me that you're a fag
>Viral is an anagram of Rival
>>561321428They do but it's kinda boring because the horses are real and races are based on real races so you can just look up their irl achievements. There's not much of a discussion
>>561321718There's always Potential uma (e.g. Silence Suzuka), hypothetical races against older uma (e.g. Maruzensky), or even historically dominant horses (e.g. Secretariat, Eclipse)
If you've ever complained about GK powerscaling discussions, and also said it doesn't matter because GK is a weak branch, then you are a hypocrite. This is more of you than you'd like to admit.
>>561321943>There's always Potential idols (e.g. Ume), hypothetical races against older uma (e.g. Tenka), or even historically dominant horses (e.g. Haruka, Chihaya)whoaaa they're just like the saaammeeee bro
>>561321638We learned this 20 years ago with TTGL
throughout this discourse I thought to myself:I have sc fatigue.
unless Ume breaks the deadlift world record on screen, she will always just be the potential athlete
>>561322158>Potential idols (e.g. Ume)That'll have to be Rinha or something now that Ume's beaten the allegations
Madoka has never beaten the allegations.
There's a reason Awakened Miki isn't really a thing in modern canon anymoreBecause she would sweep everyone
>>561322401
>>561318124So it's like, literally just a display you put your phone that you already own inside of?
>>561322265It's not a deadlift but she does casually sprint ~37% faster than Usain Bolt's world record
>>561322448This is missing lilinze
>>561322403She loses the blonde?
>>561322764it's because she gets shorter hair, and no one likes idols with shortened hair

Shameless woman
what's the deal with the banchoverse
>>561323427I don't know any idol like that
>>561323085There are many "nah, I'd win" moments in GK
>>561323427Other people talking about GK's story makes you very upset for some reason.
>>561317748im@s is basically the Quorn meat substitute of IRL idoling (except good). You get something similar, but different and with much less of the cruelty and harm to the environment
>>561323427Retard.
>>561323564Thanks for reminding me that I should play Daibanchou.
>>561323623There's like tons of different types of mental illnesses so different idols will appeal to different people anyway. Silly argument.
>Nooo stop having fun talking about GK!What a pathetic fag. Keep seething.
>>561323427My idol is mentally ill and is made for (Me). So how about them apples?
>>561323564The Idols with the title of "Bancho" share several common characteristics:>They wear a GAKU-RAN, a long jacket in the style of a school uniform.>They all possess great pride and strong conviction.>On top of their pride and conviction, they have fought and won many battles.>Regardless of their original levels, they have evolved into S++ rank Idols.They are said to be the enemies of the D-Brigade

It's crazy how because they don't age up their idols and slide the timescale every single idol branches are operating at the same time

>>561323970diamonds in the rough, all around japan. what's the issue.
>>561323970The intention to age up GKs is going to feel really weird when these girls start out growing their counterparts on other branches
>>561323970To be fair, there was no need to maintain continuity before with each branch practically in their own separate thing (with the exception of ML due to being connected to AS).

Tenko's Boy Hips
Wait, we really don't have a proper delinquent in GK yet do we?The SyngUp trio are all trouble makers but not the "gets into fights, wears the uniform the wrong way, is violent, skilled with melee weapons" type. Even Tsubame who sounds and even kinda looks the part in some regards is still the opposite of a delinquent.
>>561297525>>561297819>>561297929I'll concur with the "Fuck off" sentiment. They shouldn't replace the VAs so long as they are alive. Not with another VA, and certainly not with AI.So yeah, fuck off with the replacement idea.
>>561324229Mai-chan is so round!
>>561324269Nadeshiko
>>561324278That last one isn't me, and that anon was saying he is pro replacement, a notion I also tend to agree with.
>>561324394I don't care who posted those messages, you can all fuck off. The VAs shouldn't be replaced.
>>561324451No need to be mad, your opinion is yours to have.
>>561324362You're mixing her up with her SC counterpart. Now, that one IS bad news...
>>561324269The portrayal of delinquents nowadays is practically "minor rule breaker with unnecessarily aggressive/argumentative at most but still good in heart" with a much bigger dick as the antagonist. By that definition, Misuzu and Sumika would fill that role. What you want would probably end up on Kuroi's school or under Papa Juo's wing as someone to interfere with the produceable idol's rise to the top.
Feels like they somehow made Mai cuter and fixed her ears
>>561324471Yes reason to be mad.The idea of simply discarding the VAs when they get too old is a fucking horrendous idea and you should feel bad.
>>561324269Go full sukeban or fuck off desu
Why are koebutas so uptight
>>561324607Why are you so obtuse and intentionally miss the point?
If Goku's seiyuu can still work on Goku then my idol's seiyuus can still stay and work on their role.
>>561324679Best Nozawa role is Dukemon t b h
>>561300952You're replying to someone posting an off-topic image. It's not a bot, it's a shitposter. This whole argument in favor of replacing the VAs is clearly being done in bad faith.
time for same fagging*yawn*
>>561324654Because he's a shitposter.
>>561324545It's kinda rare for VAs to be replaced due to old age. That said, it does happen like how Akira Kamiya seemingly only voices Saeba Ryo with his other roles like Kenshiro being done by others.
>>561324269Just got fucking memory flashbanged
>>561324729Don't call me a shitposter just because you disagree with what I have to say.
>>561324739Except in this case the VAs are only in their 40s.This is a fucking stupid argument.
>>561324796You have nothing to say. All you did was shitpost.
>>561324708Disagree she's the best as my fuarking hero
>>561324846You can't get enough of me and you know it.
>>561324708It's ackshually Gallantmon.
>>561324473Hikaru's fang only appears when she is being bad...
>>561324862Dukemon was pretty kinohttps://youtu.be/IqqMFKo7PG4
>>561324886>me me me it's all about me look at me give me attention!Thank you for confirming that you were just shitposting. You advocated for the VAs to be replaced because you knew it would piss people off.You're just an empty person with no real opinions or convictions. Just another attention whore.Go ahead, reply to me and prove me right.
>>561324813True since the only time Japan would replace a VA who hasn't done any misdemeanor is if said VA is deemed unable to continue their role. Like wasn't Kotoha's VA got replaced in her other roles because of her throat problems?
>>561324708And yet she refused to voice him in xros.
>>561325002I don't know why you're getting so worked up.
sybau man
>>561325046I remember hearing that except Goku, she prefers voicing age-appropriate roles nowadays.
And now it's pretending to be retarded.It'll start namedropping soon.
>>561325120*saibaman
>>561325086It's in his diagnosis
Mei love minute
And now it's samefagging.
>>561325046Xros was ass anywayAt least she voiced him in Savers and X-Evolution where he DID get to do cool stuff
>>561325217Mei says "suki"? Goddamn I'm a MeiP now.
>>561325217I'd love her for many minutes
>>561324505really cute mai-chan
>>561325217Mei would not do that
>>561325043Yeah, Kotoha's VAs was replaced for health reasons.The only time iM@S has replaced VAs is when they die, get irrecoverably sick, or retire from the industry. They certainly don't replace them based on age.Anyone advocating for them to be replaced based on age is either retarded, shitposting, or a newfag.
>>561325285Xros is a good /m/ anime
>>561325357Or... y'know... scandals.
>>561325385I'd count that as retired from the industry.
Baba love minute
>>561325385What was the stated reason for the original Yuika's VA? I kinda recall it was initially health reasons.
>>561325357Everyone is free to have their opinion on the matter. I for one don't care who voices my idol so long as the voice fits.
I <3 reviving hours old dead arguments and getting extremely heated over them despite them obviously not being made in good faith to begin with
>>561325451See, that's an okay opinion to have, because there's a difference between "I don't care who voiced my idol" and "I hope they replace them if they get old".
>>561325502You lost. Walk away before you embarrass yourself again.
>>561325502What part of it makes it seem like the argument was made in bad faith? Other than your unreasonable anger.
>>561325573The part where they posted off-topic images of Hitler is a pretty fucking solid indication that they were arguing in bad faith.
>>561325573Did the random image of Adolf Hitler not tip you off
>>561325557If I faced the choice of replacing my idol's VA or having no new game for the branch, I'll go with the first one.
>>561325130>>561325285I was told seiyuus always go back and do their roles. She's probably the most famous for Goku so I expect professionalism.Chihaya and Haruka's seiyuus came back to voiced h-scenes after 16 years.
I want sana voicedalso read this artist's manga
>>561325621>>561325638They?
>>561325656That's a bizarre and unrealistic hypothetical scenario.They already demonstrated with Yukiho's VA that they are willing to replace a VA between games if they retire (for whatever reason). So I don't think it would come to that at all.
>>561324938She looks prettygirl like this. Like the class president with good grades.
>>561325737Yeah but what if they don't retire? I wouldn't want my favorite franchise to be dragged down by logistics.
>>561325804If they don't retire, then they keep voicing that character. What's the problem?
>>561325708>I was told seiyuus always go back and do their roles.Well, whoever told you that was wrong. Seiyuu stop doing roles and get replaced all of the time, whether that be because of cost issues, licensing issues, agency issues, scheduling issues, etc. etc. etc.>>561325804If they don't retire then what's even the problem? Wouldn't they then just voice the character?
I am nearly done updating the OP. Please wait warmly.
>>561325804If they don't retire, they'll still voice that character. Heck, it's much more common for the Japanese (at least, those toku actors/actresses) to briefly come out of retirement and resume their old role.
>>561325863Rinha… save the Earth
>>561325897Thanks bro
>>561325863The Alien Spider is played by Kirimochi
>>561325851>>561325857>>561325942Read my initial post. I'm talking about a scenario like with AS, where they didn't retire but apparently too old to be active full time. I understand that some people worship VAs, but I prioritize the Idolm@ster franchise.
>>561311564Letora's voice might be a good fit for Praline.
>>561326174There's like twenty different reasons as to why they don't make AS games anymore before "the seiyuu" would come up as a reason. The AS seiyuu aren't even remotely the closest thing the series has to "absent seiyuu" to begin with, literally all of them still regularly do voicework for the games and literally every single one of them performed not even a full 9 months ago.
>>561326174And I'm saying that you're presenting a hypothetical scenario that doesn't exist.The AS VAs are still active and recording songs and dialogue. They don't do live performances much anymore, but if you don't care about the VAs anyway, why would that be a problem?
This conversation is retarded, can you guys drop it?
>>561326363>They don't do live performances much anymoreAnd even that can easily be solved through MR Lives that's being implemented more and more recently.
No plan for AI voice because this franchise is anti-AI coded
>>561326117How many movies with killer alien spider stuck in a space vessel are there.
>>561326397I'm doing this right now
>>561319837It happens in Japan too. You could pay for lessons, be a back dancer for your senpai, wait years for a debut and then you end up getting up at 4 am to work in the kitchen of a hotel. Until the shitty agency you had signed up with calls you up for a group debut. And that's the good ending.
Temari crying like a baby and throwing a tantrum
Shaman King was watered down by seiyuu autism so I tend to agree with anon's sentiment about replacement.
>>561326617This reminded me I should eat, thanks Temari. Themari.
>>561326709That's a different franchise though. iM@S doesn't work like that.
I wish I had a Hinana GF
>>561326709What happened there because I legit have zero clue what you're talking about or what point you're making
>>561326787It's the same mentality.
>>561326709What? I never hear anything about this.
>>561326709Who cares about SK anime bro
>>561326835>>561326983Same. Although I recall hearing some comments about Hayashibara Megumi sounding way too old for Anna despite the fact being the same VA.
>>561326835>>561326983>>561327029I remember reading that before the butchered remake by studio Bridge, MAPPA offered to do the animation but the mangaka refused because they couldn't get the original seiyuu cast on board.
>>561326870I'm not familiar with whatever Shaman King situation you're referring to, but as we've extensively just discussed, iM@S will replace VAs if they are dead, retired or unable to ever work again.The contentious issue we were discussing was the idea that the VAs should be replaced simply for being old, even if they aren't retired. iM@S, so far, simply doesn't do that.Even Arisa's VA didn't get replaced even though she's completely lost her ability to do Arisa's voice. She now uses a completely different voice for Arisa and everyone's okay with it.
>>561327052On the other hand, the remake being that way gave me reason to read and the manga and it turned out to be absolutely peak, so not all is bad.
My apologies for the delay. I will be a short while longer.
>>561327256It's ok bro
By the way, what happened to Reina? Hiori sounds different, rougher, now.
Pretty sure we do have hard evidence of iM@S intentionally and willingly shooting itself in the foot for the sake of keeping seiyuu consistent
>>561327328you're gonna me the koebuta angry bro
>>561327328doesn't count
>>561327361I think you're the only one getting angry right now.
>>561327328But because of that we got the better Refrain Kiss (without Kotoha) instead of the inferior one (with Kotoha).
>>561325729You.
They should keep Runa, she did nothing wrong
It's a two way street. If you sign up to voice a character it's expected for you to continue doing it, even if you change agencies. On the other hand, the production won't give the role to another seiyuu on the drop of a hat. Whether that is good or bad or bad is subjective.
>>561327328Doesn't really apply. They even went back and added her missing voice lines before GREE shut down, even after the EoS was announced. They also re-released songs like Refrain Kiss that she was missing from. She always intended to come back, and she did.A better example would be Kazuki's VA. He retired completely and they replaced him with little issue.
>>561326467The Howling girls were AIdols.
>>561327029>>561327052I only know Yoh's seiyuu changed and it was slightly jarring. Ren also sounded like a tryhard.At least my first waifu; Jeanne sounds perfect.
>>561327285Unspecified illness
Seiyuu discussion? I nutted to Mao's VA about half an hour ago.
>>561327448Love those two
I want to fuck Yoh's VA
I fapped to Tsubame's voice
>>561327534Sorry, let me rephrase that. Instead of "a better example", I should've said "a solid counterexample". The Kazuki's VA situation proves they are willing to replace VAs if it comes to that.They still don't replace VAs if they get old or sick though. It's only if they will never be able to come back.
>>561327534TD released in an incomplete state where not every idol was present, purely because they wanted to keep Taneda as Kotoha (I'd assume they reached out and said "Hey, you're still able to do voice stuff right" and she said "Yeah, give me a year"). Whether or not it was the right choice or not is another thing (I'd wager most people think it was) but it's a pretty cut and dry example of iM@S intentionally holding itself back because of seiyuu issues.
Meanwhile Jojo has swapped out its VAs tons of times. Also now I'm remembering in Sore ga Seiyuu where the main girl was the only one replaced in the transition from drama CD to anime. Also that one Yuuko ghost anime where Takane voiced her in both drama CD and anime but some of the other roles were replaced.
>>561327637Densetsu no baba...
>>561327516Reminds me of what happened to Gozyuger. God, that was a hot mess.
I want to play video games with Temari seiyuu
I enjoy SC alot more when i skip all support cards and just turbo through a girls produce commus +grad+lp. Is that bad

>>561327701>that one Yuuko ghost animeDusk Maiden of Amnesia?
>>561327742Who is your favorite
I don't care about these third worlders arguing about something they got no control over. I pay you 10 janny salaries to make the new thread, where is it?
>>561327686Let the koebuta melt and fume, his "argument" wasn't reasonable in the first place.
>>561327686But we were discussing a hypothetical scenario where a game couldn't be released because of VA issues. The fact that TD was able to launch and subsequently add Kotoha is actually proof that this hypothetical scenario wouldn't come to pass.
>>561327701>the main girl was the only one replaced in the transition from drama CD to animeThat is, the main character is a voice actor and she has to endure the drama of getting replaced while one of her friends kept her role.>>561327759Neat.>>561327781Yes.
>>561326694>Until the shitty agency you had signed up with calls you up for a group debutMikoto...
>>561327795Sakuya atm
>>561327759Mingosu was Sex Pistols too, she got robbed.
If AS retire (they won't) they should make it as big as possible. Like a genuine big multi-part projectStraight up another anime movie or some shit with the best animation for possible
>>561327830Again: You seem to be the only person melting and fuming right now.Please sit down. The adults are talking.
>>561327910You will get an MR Live and you will be happy for it.
But don't look back in anger, I heard you say~
>>561327701>>561327759>>561327908Hell even in just the Jojo anime old Joseph was still voiced by Sugita at the end of Part 2 and they only got a different VA for Parts 3 and 4. Guess they hadn't settled on one/didn't think it was worth hiring one more just for that epilogue.
