Is there an /@/ meetup for CG 15th?

We had a GK stream last night and all the posts are still SC.

I'm sad no one wanted to talk about CG's stream last night.
>>577542627I expected her to slut it up, yes.
>>577542217So you're saying we need to give Chiyuki some more?

it's just a swimsuit
A P-Hana fancomic translation.I really love the way Hana touches her hair in the final panel. Genius. Cutest. >>577520332>>577520886These posts in last thread reminded me of this one old fancomic.
>>577541024How do you guys engage with the franchise?? I've been listening to im@s music for a while now, but I've barely read the stories about the girls, so I kinda want to get into it. Is there a main story anyway in im@s games like other gacha, or is it everything like, separate short stories for each idol? Because I remember seeing some for Nana back then. I used to play the CG rhythm game, is that branch gonna die now or will they open a new game for it? I mainly watch the MVs and they're just peakhttps://youtu.be/1bgWvG1NmBo?si=ygEpvu7klPPYg8RkThe girls from shiny look good, but I've barely listened to their music in comparison. I think it rarely appears on youtube for me compared to CG or Gakuen, but the corn they have is massive.
Asakura is currently in a Marvel phase.>Higuchi you look like Jean Grey
i love my deko wife hiromi
>>577546624Page 2.A surprisingly large amount of people had the same reaction to seeing Hana's new swimsuit: they worried about her skin and wanted ShinyP to apply sunscreen. Even the artist of this fanart was posting about it.>Even if ShinyP were to be locked in a room he can only leave after smearing Hanya's back with sunscreen (hosted by me), it'd be very funny if all he felt was guilt over doing that instead of any sexual arousal. Somehow guilt would be creepier than lust.>I love all the incidents arising from him idolizing Hana too much.These posts are enjoyable to read.
>>577545091Yeah, she's the best
>>577545091Cringiest idol
>>577543592Cute lemony Moko.
My butthole is itchy would Hana help me deal with this matter?
No

What RPG game should I play while listening to imas music
>>577545091I love her but the plove pandering is getting tiresome and I will quit her if step 4 will just be a rehash of step 3
>>577546658I started listening to the music, mainly SC. After a while of listening and watching lives, I watched the infamous anime, got interested in the story, started reading some commus and the rest is history.
>>577545091Hate her so much, so much so that if we were both trapped in a room and the only way to leave is by having sex with her I would refuse and we would die unfucked.

Kotone will have the best step 4, and will surpass Rinami's confession.
>>577547651dont you follow the other branches or smth. I would kinda feel like an impostor not following all but thats just me being dumb fomo
>>577546658The way the story is structured and how much of it there is varies wildly by branch and by game, so it's hard to give one size fits all advice beyond "find a girl you like and read/watch whatever she shows up in"CG is in kind of an awkward spot due to its co-ownership and Cygames moving on to greener pastures, it's pretty unlikely it will get another game but it's also unlikely they'll kill off the branch anytime soon
>>577546658Different branches operate differently.For example, Shiny Colors has 28 idols all working in one agency. They each have their individual stories, but they interact with each other, their units, other units, so on and so forth. There are storylines for characters, their units, sometimes cross-unit storylines. There's not a "main story" but everything is happening is happening is part of 283 Pro's story.Gakuen, on the other hand, has separate stories for all idols. Your, the Producer, take one girl as your idol of choice, and play her route, which is independent of other routes. Basically separate timelines.Both approaches basically let you read about your idols of choice and ignore the rest, and things make sense. You can also read about all, and things make more sense, you get a broader picture view. As for Shiny songs, here's a few.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2hGvljzE9Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnLTM2pb1d0Two summer songs, since it's summer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNHnE8ZyVJghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTEfWavFIvIAnd a couple of normal songs.
>>577546658Just download the mobile games and play them yeah. Even CGSS will be around for a while so no point worrying about whether it will die, just redownload it and read the stories.After knowing the characters at least on a basic level it'll be enough to check out the live shows, if you enjoy the music and know the songs they're a blast
CG vtubers when?
>>577549656riamu already did a handful of vtuber streams a while ago
>>577549037I know the other branches. I watched almost all animes, watched lives, listened to the music every now and then.SC is my home turf.
>>577550150i think kanade did it too or was in one of them
>>577546317I think SC's system in general is pretty flawed because even this guy's big answer to helping get people into SC is "use SfP to bait them into playing enza instead"SS and TD were able to springboard off Mobamas and Greemas respectively because the writing in those games were simple and was able to be improved in the jump to a new game but this is just objectively not the case with SC so you have this mismatch of "here's our new game made for new players but everything people actually like about SC is in the old game". It makes SfP a quick novelty or supplementary to already pre-existing SCPs at best which doesn't seem particularly compelling for a game they've spent a buttload of money onI don't think I'm saying anything new here but these are just thoughts I had after reading that
https://youtu.be/CbTo5bp-DJw
>>577546658just read the wiki page and commus of the idols you're interested in. watch all their MVs and listen to their discography. you'll come across other idols you might be interested in on the wayi wouldn't recommend sticking around this general cuz it's shit, especially if you love CG >>577549656fuck off
>>577550512For better or worse that's how it's working out to be. SfP is working as bait for newbies to get into the game through the music and a first impression of the characters, and dedicated players then get introduced to Enza. I've seen many new players that got into the game through IQ Countdown Love and later checked out the original game. Of course this is not a smart business decision as it won't bring any big money or help keep both games alive but that's the current state of affairs
>>577550512>>577551007The problem of not having a charming anime to bring in the newbies
>>577551871Do anyone other than western normalfags care about anime anymore? Otaku are all in on vtubers and mobage.

>>577547651>>577549274>>577550894Thank you and after researching I’m much interested with Shiny Colors which seems to be the most popular branch atp? If these threads aren’t popular then do you all also have a discord like other threads in VG?
>>577554082/@/ does not have a discord but there is a large unofficial shiny colors discord if you want to join that and chat about it
>>577553208Natty love!
>>577554082>I’m much interested with Shiny Colorsnevermind then you'll love this gay general
>>577554273there is an /@/ discord

>>577554562You just weren't invited
>>577554468>Miyako>KotonePretty much my ideal threesome
>>577554082Most popular branch currently, by a wide margin, is Gakuen Idolmaster. It's also easiest to play. Story easiest to follow too, since it's route-based. Just download the game and you're set. There are no discord server for /@/.If you're interested in SC, it's got two games. The browser game, which is mainly for story, and most content is here, and there's the 3D game, with MVs, like the one posted before. It's mostly supplemental to watch MVs and such, not the main game.https://iridescenthues.dedyn.io/You can try out this site, to get an idea for what Shiny Colors' story is like. It's a fanmade site that lets you read the story, every bit of it is available here. "Produce arcs" are the "main" story for every girl, available to all. Produce idols are their SSRs, which feature more story for them, you get these from gacha, largely focusing on the idol and Producer, and support idols are their support cards, which feature stories from their units as whole and interactions with other units sometimes. Events are monthly events. To make it simpler, filter by a girl you're interested in, and just start reading them in release order, oldest first. You won't need to worry about anything else. If this is to your taste, the browser game is easy to pick up. Everything is all only in Japanese, in case that wasn't clear.
>>577553045Sure but Bocchi doesn't even come close quality-wise to the best anime from last decade. The decline is obvious if you think about it.
LMAO
The song Nichika was singing... was actually Nami Yakumo's?
>>577555037we get it bro you want to fuck mingosu
>>577555140Yadon idols vs Kodakku idols
>>577551007SfP was doing a good job during the past year to attract outside crowds but I can't imagine new players are going to come in with the current schedule and lack of new music now that PJ7 ended. And enza has its own issues of trying to attract new players. I guess it can keep relying on the fanservice part.
>>577548957>40 rolls total>only 8 newHahaha....
>>577554082There is the a server but it’s private with the artists from /@/. Search Ywr (he likes Yuika from SC) on twitter and message him for an invite.

>>577554082why tf you replying for me nigga>>577554956>>577549274>>577550894thank you a lotI'll probably pick some idols from CG to read that I was too lazy back then, since I know some already. I wanna try Gakuen and maybe later Shiny, which seems more complicated, though the girls are very cute so hmmm
GK would be more popular in these threads if it had Amana, but instead you guys have...Rinami.
>>577555885Sumika bombed, thoZoomers don't care about gyarus
>>577552620>>577552956>>577553416かっこい
>>577555885*GK would be more popular in these threads if the posters were unhinged gooners that vomited their bullshit in every thread despite no one caring. GKPs for the most part are normal people who just post their idol every once in a while instead of spamming porn and cuck shitFTFY
>>577555857Good luck, and have fun. Whatever you pick, it's all Im@s and good. Even if all you do is watch MVs, that's still Im@s and fun. If you want to just know about some girl in broad strokes without playing, you can always ask here, people who like the girl are always posting summaries, analysis posts, translations and such.I'm also biased to SC, since it's my primary game, but it has the most enjoyable and well written story (which is why it's my primary game), so if you actually do end up picking it, you'll likely not be disappointed.
>>577554468Sauce plz?

>>577556019Sumika is the bomb*
>>577556290I don't think he actually plays GK
Goom
>>577550512Flawed or not, that's how it worked for me. SfP launching was a trigger for me to actually give SC a shot. 3DMVs were fun. It was simpler. I just had to roll gacha units and play a rhythm game, nothing complicated. Eventually got attached to a single idol enough that when she got a new SSR in enza, I made an enza account and have been playing since. So the approach works. I also know one other person who got into not just SC, but Im@s and otaku things in general through Countdown Love. So that's two anecdotes. Even as primarily an enza player now, I am still attached to SfP, and hope it continues to be a second SC game forever. I look forward to more things like PJ7 and I enjoy reading SfP stories, so I look forward to more things after Episode 0s.
>>577554468Why isn't this my life?What did I do wrong? Was it just not having a good enough job?
