Just finished watching this after having got to it my backlog since it came out.
How come no one told me that it was so comfy? Would have watched it years ago had I known.

Anyways, can we have an Idolm@ster thread?

I love Haruka.

I love Chihaya.

Remembering the good times
youtube.com/watch?v=oDIsGyapXq0

She is my favorite.

Even though her arc was great, she's a very boring character.

Mods are asleep, post Yayoi.

CG Producer >>>>>> 765 Producer

Daily reminder that I love Kikuchi Makoto and she belongs to me, everyone who thinks or says otherwise is mistaken.

765 idols >>>>>>> CG idols

these are facts

how did you enjoy the Azusa episode OP?

How about a swap?

Because no one talls about the series. People only bully girls.

what is this anime about? waifuislam? or does it have any other redeeming qualities?

Antithetic but true. 765 P-chan was bearable, though.

It's about professional entertainers working hard to reach the top of the industry.

Chihaya arc was good.

What a shit remix, completely ruined the song

>Even though her arc was great, she's a very boring character.
I'd keep looking over my shoulder from now on, it I were you...

Not boring but more like anime Chihaya's character doesn't stand out much and "grumpy girl who just wants to sing, nothing else". She doesn't have a quirk that makes you take note of her (being jealous of someone with bigger breasts is like a cliche for flat ones).

Now, contrast that to Hibiki. Her quirk of "loving animals too much that she has so many of them although they ran away from her from time to time" shown in the first episode makes her to be easily remembered. But, her focus episode isn't talk worthy. Personally, it just made Inumi, her dog, be more memorable.

Chihaya's has quirks, she's shit at technology, and enjoys terrible jokes despite herself, there's scenes dedicated to both those quirks in the anime.

I love Azusa and Yayoi. Azusa's episode is the best. OG anime as a whole is better, but I prefer CG girls. So many to love.

Chihaya is my blue bird

TAKANE

Is that lolirap girl in the back?

>she's shit at technology
Was that shown other than in Episode 3? Because the impression I get from Episode 3's scene was that both Chihaya, Takane and Hibiki was bad with technology/hardware but their different reactions more or less solidifies their stereotypical image (grumpy complains, genki baka is seen in a stupid manner, mysterious one goes all vague).

>enjoys terrible jokes
The only time I recall that happened was in Episode 26 which was after her arc developed her more.

I've only became familiar about those when I played SP afterwards.The anime is good in introducing the girls to someone who has no idea of what iM@S is but it does a bad job of making you care for them outside of drama (Azusa's focus episode felt like an over-extended gag of her intro in the first episode).

Remove Chihaya

Best girl of all time

...

Azusa's episode was probably the best in the whole series. Pure serendipity in every sense of the word.

What Chihaya needed was more scenes with her mother.

That weird rooster cry she does annoys the hell out of me, but she is a qt.

Hairdown Yayoi gives me fappy thoughts, I mean happy thoughts.

...

my fucking heart

I love Shijou

...

Hibiki is sleeping

tell her to get back to pedaling

Never ever.

765 is so awkward.

...

wow, that kid's getting a good handful

I wish I was him.

...

...

More Puchis when?

What idol is the best breeding material and why is it Takane?

Alien genes

I want to make some hybrids with her

...

...

Why is she forgotten?

>Alien genes

>Everyone in this thread

Checked

She dresses like a hooker.

>Kotori-chan is for once on an official imas image
>it's the cover of an image collection
>doesn't actually appear on any of the +50 images except on the last on besides everyone else

And here

Yeah yeah, she gets some REALLY rare time but I was talking about the collection. Essentially no one from the official side pays any attention to her. It's fucking shit.

Why does P choose Makoto over Miki?

I'd hire her any day

...

...

Y'know there's something odd about MechaHaruka I can't put my finger on.

She is better than the original.

...

...

Why are Takane's ML cards so sexy

How can you find Chihaya boring when Haruka's your favorite?

Because Chihaya has nothing going for her aside from "muh dead brother" and "muh divorced parents." Without those excuses she's just an average girl. Even her singing isn't that great. Plus she's flatter than week old soda.
With Haruka you at least have those amazing ribbons in her hair.

Chihaya is not my favorite girl but her arc was beautiful.

>but her arc was beautiful
Agreed.

>youtube.co/watch?v=vHyv7cJRvYE
One of the only few anime scenes to make my eyes water up. The whole time I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her that everything was going to be okay.

>With Haruka you at least have those amazing ribbons in her hair.
This user knows what's up.

>amazing ribbons
>sexy midriff
>knows how to cook
What's not to like about Haruka?

S-she tried to kill Produzah. Still worth it.

Never.

Why watch if you can just play the original video game of this instead?

Because out of all the idols she's the epitome of plain jane.

Quite different experiences, in my opinion.

I don't own a console and I don't think you can emulate them on PC, but hey, I can deal.

you can emulate SP on pc fine

>professional hole digger
>plain jane

Chihaya has a lot going for her mainly a highly supporting girlfriend who will protect her smile.

As much as I want Haruka to myself, I cannot deny her the happiness she would experience with her true better half.
Her and Chihaya were literally made for each other.

Does anybody know if episode 8 had it's own director or something? Compared to the rest of the show, that episode had great direction and multiple storylines intertwining.

>Azusa get's "kidnapped"
>Makoto and Producer chasing her
>Miki at the photo shoot
>The Bride
>Clever segwaying between the stories throughout the episode
>They all cleverly collide and get resolved in the same event
>Comfy and lighthearted

I dropped it when it got "serious", but that episode just stood out.

>How come no one told me that it was so comfy?
I've been telling people that it is top-tier comfy for years.

Because he can't handle Miki - she's too sexually aggressive. Miki wanted him because he was a challenge compared to her usual idol prey.

>Even her singing isn't that great
I'm no Chihayafag, but that's just not true. She's easily in the top 3 765 vocalists.

Was that the Trigger-directed episode or was it the other Makoto episode that I'm thinking of?

I'm curious about that too.
I was disappointed when the episodes that followed didn't follow the same sort of theme of serendipity, fantastical elements, and just chaotic fun.

Makes me wish that they had saved the whole them of Azusa's episode for the movie, that way they could of shoehorned in their rookie idols and unnecessary drama without ruining anything.
Would have been cool.
>wedding photo shoot deadline needs to be met
>Azusa is still kidnapped
>still keep the mix up
>they don't release Azusa
>stakes are higher
>Makoto kicks ass all around Tokyo to find out who "kidnapped" her
>Producer reluctantly gets dragged along
>Ami and Mami play good cop, bad cop detectives again
>Yakuza involvement
>Yukiho's father/backstory could have somehow been explored
>same serendipitous chase as the movie goes on
>Miki stalls for time like before
>naturally throwing the rest of the idols in the mix
Would have been so much more fun to watch this in a movie, but no.... they had to ruin it with forced drama and literally who's that no one cares about.

Kotori's kotoris are pretty impressive.

Because Takane is sexy.

I've become so warped, that plainness now arouses me. What a strange world.

>Was that the Trigger-directed episode or was it the other Makoto episode that I'm thinking of?
Trigger was involved in episode 17, whereas the episode in question was episode 8.

>Haruka Amami
>Long phone call
What the fuck

>tfw you will never go to the Takane beach concert and see her in a bikini

Because she's boring. Even her character episode was shit.

>Even her character episode was shit.
I kind of disagree... I thought the ending where she faced her fears, got all dressed up, sung on stage, was all very sweet and heartwarming.

>segwaying
it's "segueing"
segway is the vehicle
they're pronounced the same though. GG english

>She's easily in the top 3 765 vocalists.
...and who are the other two?

Stupid sexy Miki.

She calls the sexchat lines late at night because Chihaya won't put out.
