Idols whose Ps are weak to kissing.
PIZZA!
Stop what you are doing and watch the MV for Clover's Cry right now!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UHvj0v-7fs
Good evening.We love Amana.We really do.
Moogy overheard that you like children.
>>569231875Nah. While Saki's motivation and words are non-conventional, her actions are very much in line with Haruka, more than any other red. She's actively reached out and helped all of the first year GK idols. And her arc with Sena (in non-Temari/GKP routes) is very much a traditional "red inspiring by example arc".

>>569232850Why doesn't she give me some then?
The special page for SC 8th live has been opened.
>>569232783Good evening. We do.

>>569225820I went to the item exchange and randomly bought some items from here assuming they would work but they don't, I even can't tell which items are supposed to be awakening PTs gifts and I can't find those exact ones I posted earlier either, am I retarded?
>>569233137wasnt this in the live? whyd they take so long
I had an incredible revelation while I was playing Fuyuko's WING. Back when the anime aired I had not yet played SC, this is the first time in a long time I've tried to do WING, and I've only consumed mainly SHHis commus from youtube. You know how the anime kept ping ponging around the other units even though the episode was supposed to be about a specific unit and it was weird? Well it finally dawned on me that was actually just the support cards being played, the same way commus for the unit support cards you picked play mid WING. It all finally makes sense, it was all just one long WING play.
>>569233198because they want to wait 39 days
>>569233194That's idol bait that you use in the lesson room.
wooo~
>>569232783This saying are many.

>>569233428perfect for the game
>>569232915>She's actively reached out and helped all of the first year GK idols.Well that's just untrue. She barely interacts with 1-2 at all besides Ume. I can't think of a single conversation she's ever had with Misuzu.
>>569233225e'res no a'nime you wanker.
nagasaki peeps are weird yo
>>569233768It's the radiation in the water
Hana my beloved
>>569233527Okay, I forgot about Misuzu.But Saki has several support cards with Hiro and China. She regularly supplies both of them with SSD's and she does help China train. China even calls her Saki-oneesama and she's one of the people she wanted to invite to her thanksgiving xmas party.
JC idols...
>>569233823
>>569233527Her and Misuzu have a literal Yuri lemon sideplot where she went from Hanami-san in Step 2 to Saki-chan in Step 4

>>569233194For some reason, I thought you meant you needed awakening items (which can be purchased from that menu).You can build up your cards by using them in lives.

>>569234058Saki's Step 3 is pretty interesting if you look at it at a macro scale because it is basically defining that the "ideal Top Idol" is the essence of Amami Haruka (someone who falls and always gets back up) which is also somewhat redefining Haruka herself.It feels like Haruka's best feature has always been her leadership/danketsu core or whatever. "Falling" isn't even a Haruka trait even if that sometimes happens, she's more clumsy than anything.
>>569234058Okay but... this was about whether Saki or Ume fits the traditional mould of a main red better. And Ume did all those things before Saki did.
I'm going in /@/, wish me luck. I've been barely scraping by.
Mao will win the free snacks from lawson
>>569233225More like they were afraid people would only buy the BD for their unit's episodes so they sprinkled the entire office in all the episodes even when it didn't make sense
>>569234908Post-ML maybe but it's not uncommon for her in the slightest to get chewed up by the new rival of the week or to get super discouraged from someone or something and then have to recover from that. Hibiki in SP, Jupiter in 2, her own mental in the anime, Leon in OFA, Shiho in the movie, Shika in StS. It's a thing she both experiences literally and metaphorically.
Ah
>>569234987Well, what even is a "traditional main red"? Because, none of the Imas main Reds really fit that mold. We talking Sentai? Or maybe Magical Girl? As both reds there have different attributes to them. Even if we're talking like a Love Live Center, Mirai is probably the closest to that?
>>569234987Saki does all of those things on screen instead of it being her background story, and it makes up her character arc instead of just having super innate powers from the start. I've always read Ume as unironically being more blue coded because she's like Chihaya where she has the power within her but just needs help drawing it out. Saki actually needs to bite the pillow and just tough that shit out and develop things herself because her past experience isn't enough to get her by.
>>569234229SC X ML Collab????

Alright laddies, I'm interested in this Scottish woman to give her a read. How hard is she to read? I feel like her Nagasaki accent might filter me. For some reason though, I can understand Meispeak just fine even if she blends gyaruspeak with her weird accent.
We did it Fuyuko!
Today's victim...
>>569235456>"traditional main red"Simplest way I would describe would be "someone who no one would ever think could become an idol" but manages to do so anyway thanks to the power of:
>>569236098I always knew China was the main red.
>>569236098KUBOOOOOOOOOO
>>569235525Even ignoring the idea that the switch in positions was early in development, I think people are too easily conflating "Main Character" with " Main Red".In almost every branch, the main red is rarely the "main character" or the one who drives the story. Ume's the one who wants to change the status quo, not Saki. It's usually the blue's drama that does it and the Red just sorta helps rally everyone or has a breakdown or something. You can also say that's kind of why Saki is also ideal in units.
>>569235891touch the chest
Luna say howdy...
>>569236206I could imagine China being an idol because she's rich as fuck. They named a country after her
>>569236502
i love Nono!
I'm not falling for this again
>>569236250
>>569235456I don't really think I could adequately put it into words. It's kinda just a feeling. But there some objective facts that would suggest Ume is a little more like what we've had in the past.Her music is a big one, being composed by Satou. It feels like previous main reds because it's made to sound like traditional idol music by a guy who's been with the series forever.The more obvious thing is that we know for a fact that she was originally intended to be the main red. Whatever it is that they usually have in mind when creating the main red, Ume was conceived similarly, while Saki was not.And I really do think that's a good thing. Saki being unusual was a big part of GK reinventing the series. We may have gone the way of Love Live if Ume had been left as the main red.

this art book was so worth it
>>569236379
>>569236293>I think people are too easily conflating "Main Character" with " Main Red".>In almost every branch, the main red is rarely the "main character" or the one who drives the storyWhat are you even talking about? In most adaptations of the series, the main red is pretty clearly the closest thing to the main character. Even for as ass as the SC anime was, Mano's still clearly the central figure of that as well.
>>569235691pervert...
In another universe, she's too sex to attract queer fans.
>>569235486should be implied nude with only the coat hanging off her arms
I remember a guy took pics of all the pages and put it on a google drive
>>569236949>the SC anime?
>>569236949But...they don't do anything. The big conflict is almost always due to the blue which is given more time and weight then the red usually just gets one tacked on at the end which is solved by her friends.The closest to being an MC is probably Mirai funny enough because she was pretty proactive, or at least, excited to do things.
Nobody wants to hear it but P is unequivocally always the main character (assuming he exists)
Miya IGXP route when? I thought it was monthly....
>>569237408his character development is always integral
>>569237250Just because you feel like the red story arcs are "tacked on at the end" doesn't suddenly make them not the climaxes? Haruka's arc with her schizo baby self is the climax of the OG anime. Uzuki's arc and re-learning to smile is the climax of the CG anime. Mirai's growth from a girl in the stands to performing on stage is the climax of the ML anime. Literally all three of them have a significant role in the blue drama as well and are usually the ones who help solve it. I genuinely don't know how you can even read otherwise unless you're just really desperately trying to downplay main reds here
>>569237470this is good art
>>569237470>looking for CGPs
>>569237408I'm not going to be surprised if this is a love live tourist. This has and will always be a galge franchise (even SideM).
I really love Machico's voice
again,i want to do extremely lewd things to Mao
>>569236931maopai
>>569237408I always say all the idols are an ensemble cast and AniP is a side character or the main trio at least.Even if we're talking HC, it does feel like it was written where Saki should have been the main focus but they forgot and made it more about Re;Iris. I'd that's HCs biggest issue where they should have just picked one lane and went with it instead of shifting midway.
>>569234459He repays it by constantly humiliating himself in front of her I guess
>>569236628my wife
>>569237823what kind of lewd things?
