Is the original Idolmaster series the peak of the idol genre? No other series has such detailed and well-written characters as Idolmaster.

love live has a better "story" and that's not saying much. I have yet to see an idol anime with a good script

Why didn't Hibiki get her own episode? And why did they skip episode 16 and go right into 17?

>thinks she got it rought
Try being a Rika fag watching CG anime.

But Cinderella Girls is better.

>making Yuki cheat on her beloved CATS
This is just wrong.

72 is the greatest number this universe.

Umi Sonoda didn't need an own episode because she is already loved by all.

It's maybe the best idol anime for neckbeards, but little girl idol animu blow it ouf of the water

I miss when I could name all the im@s characters. Now there's 99 idols but a bitch ain't 1

CG doesn't matter.

Some girls are only good for porn at best.

taking a peek at Uzuki's underarms!

>create an angel
>call it an idol

Worst lead character of an idol show.

...

>make a cute character
>actually make her face look 20 years older by the end of second season
Absolutely disgusting.

I like Love Live but the iM@S girls blow them out of the water. They have 13 girls and almost all of them are interesting; Love Live has 9 and I like... 4?

...

you talkin shit about honk?

Nerfing Makoto's tomboyness is a crime!

>Why didn't Hibiki get her own episode?
Because she gets all the screen time in your heart.

>Do you want an own episode or do you want to slap Honoka?
>slaps Honoka

We're all reading her manga, right?

shimamu aging rapidly from stress!

Too lonely for me.

When I watch anime, I feel like seeing idol
I think Love live made me feel like this
So, Love live has big impact on anime we watch now
I think Love live is the best idol anime

Prove it

Not sure what the intention was, but her face does age a lot between two seasons.

...

You're supposed to man up and take care of that personally.

Not the best examples as I only have a few episodes, but you get the gist of it.

Despair will do that to you.

[ZR intensifies]

Not even close, but i still love it

I would.

She would make the best wife.

The anime barely scratched the various character storylines.

Would have been better if they just animated the various routes.

It would have needed to be 10 times as long for that. I'd say it did a fine job as introduction and if you want to know their routes in the game you can just play the game.

>official English release never

>Era of Million Live!
Soon.

A night in Shibuya.

This is your Bashamichi waitress for the evening.

That's great, I like having a good waitress when I go out eating with Takane!

I'm not a fan of idol shows, but the original Idolm@ster managed to keep me watching all the way through because it was well-written enough. That's something none of the others have been able to do.

>particularly the Azusa episode

Flat indicates healthyness.

Flat is indeed an evolutionary advantage

Unless you want to raise children.

Reminder that tits only became bigger to look like asses.

RIP your money

>story
Idolmaster is basically SoL. It doesn't really have a story. Neither does it need one.

>No other series has such detailed and well-written characters as Idolmaster.
I disagree. Both AKB0048 and Aikatsu are on par with the original IM@S.

CG>>>>>>LL>Xenoglossia

It has it's flaws, but as far as idol anime goes then it's the best. Only other one that comes close is Aikatsu. The movie dropped the ball hard though.

>LOOK MA I LEARNED THIS NEW THING TODAY, IT'S CALLED "TROLLING"

Oh no, look, ya made Haruka cry

I'm not the one who thinks it's funny to rank CG shit above original.

But it's true user.

CG and 765 both have an episode about getting lost. In CG, they are walking along a street and basically nothing happens. In 765 one of them almost gets married and another fights her way through hordes of goons.

One of the two is fun, the other as boring as can be. One of them is brimming with the expression of character and takes the viewer by surprise while the other is just 20min of wasted time.

Good. The 765 are the best idols, however the same cannot be said for the murderer.

Darwin is a flatfag?

Doesn't help that the other features the lolis, and it's just so fucking painful they didn't give a rat's ass about them.
The only girl who had any impactful lines and interaction with Producer was the big sister, meanwhile the lolis were just piece of incompetent shits.
No wonder it's called h@gmaster, and for that reason alone it's already not true, but the horrible main trio and character focus balance delivers the coup de grace.

Do you seriously believe that 765 trio is better than CG's one?

I can honestly not even tell the CG girls apart. I know there's one huge one who can't speak properly and a small one who's a little shit.

>765 trio
Wat?

Yayoi deserves hugs and hamburgers.

Yayoi deserves 1 dollar

The 765 trio is better than half of the cinderella girls

I love you Iori.
I love you.

...

Fuck no.

It's more like the mediocre start that leads to something better.

The original anime was one boring episode after another that barely kept me interested had it not been for HaruChiha.

The peak would be either Idol Jihen or Love Live.

She's a alcoholic hag whose hair looks like the fucking head of a dick.
You have shit taste.
Commit suicide.

...

Chihaya>>>>>>>>>>>All CG

I want to hold her hand

youtube.com/watch?v=GPa27Hzr3v0

...

I know Chihaya is the definition of perflat, but she looks downright frail there. Like she would break apart if you looked at her firmly.

765 being better than CG is by design. What is missing from this discussion is context, so let me take you on a journey.

The original games were modeled after the idol group scene of the early 2000s, when Hello Project was queen, and Morning Musume was on every variety show.
The girls from 765 take their personality cues directly from their momusu counterparts. There's the tomboy (Yossie), the twins (Aibon & Nono), the derpy hot one (Reina), the ojousama (Sayumi), the genki (Nacchi), the milquetoast (Ai-chan), the christmas cake (Nakazawa), etc etc.
The CG roster on the other hand began its development during the late 2000s, when momusu's popularity began to dwindle and the girls started graduating. Around that time, AKB48 made it into the limelight, with their quantity over quality approach. CG was born out of that approach, and so anything relating to CG is mass produced, much like AKB48, with the sole purpose of saturating the demand heavy market of the wota to turn a quick buck.

If you played the games during the 765 era, you could have seen this coming. It's not without reason we refer to Namco lovingly as Scamco.

Anal Idol

Oh right.


It was more of a Mirai and Mika episode.

But even so, the episode itself was good. Hibiki's episode was shit

I want to eat with Takane!

Iori has the loosest asshole of any idol

>Samefagging Namefag
Sad.

Other than a few select episodes and the HaruChiha arc, the rest of the Im@s anime is awful.

You can thank me for that.

Kys cunt.

After you.

Scanlator said he can't guarantee that he'll working on the next chapter.

Xenoglossia was the best.

Iori was objectively the best girl in Xenoglossia, no matter WHO your waifu is.

She has a delicate slender figurine.

exhentai.org/g/1077565/e7953ea8a0/

LORI

Still the best, right?

>Chihaya, take pictures of me
>okay
>make me cute
>I don't know if I have the talent for that

rip Haruka

Her redesign sucks though.

are any of the girls the same characters as the Japanese ones or did they just call it idolmaster to get people to watch their show?

It's a different set of characters, yes. The TV Drama is just advertisement for the idol group.

Cinderella Girls is better, they actually have seiyuus who can sing instead of just having Imai Asami as the only good singer

The CG girls are actually worse singers.
You're either trying to bait or you know nothing about this franchise.
