New idolm@ster anime

[Benpc91]

Running gag in the anime: random faceless guy comes for delivery, gets hounded by Takagi to become a producer.

Takagi: Hey, you! Yeah, you... come here for a sec. Ahh, that sparkle in your eye! That's what I like to see!
Random Dude: Uh... what? You're freaking me out.

I love those videos so much.
I will be heavily disappointed if I don't hear those lines in the anime.

here's an on-topic toss:

Does anyone else actually think that if they make new music for the anime, it shouldn't necessarily go up as DLC? Like...you want to give people a good reason that the anime can stand on its own, not that it's just content-fodder for the game...

Though, if the anime songs / (costumes?) are really good, I'd probably want them as DLC, too even though I have no money and Japanese MSP come in smaller point increments yet cost more *ramble*. But it all depends...maybe at the end of the catalog-life of iM@S2, when they start taking content from things we've already seen?

You have a good point there. I think it'd be a better idea if the anime was able to stand on its own, not just exactly tied to the game. I wouldn't mind waiting till the end of the catalog-life of IM@S2 if there are some anime songs/costumes that I like, because hey, we want people to like the anime for the anime itself, not just like the anime because you get new stuff for the game.

Another running gag in the anime: Kotori's age will sometimes be the topic of discussion of the cast. Whenever one of them tells about her age, we will hear "she's twenty-<insert random noise from random event here>". And the worse part? Only the audience couldn't understand what that person said.

Someone already bought the magazine and exposed whatever's in it!




2 pages of long interviews
2 pages of presentation, simply talking about the history of iM@S
Then, 2 pages of some details about the new iM@S game for the Xbox360
Lastly, 2 more pages about the souvenirs

(Also, the poster has 2 sides.)

Thanks for posting!~

Looks pretty cool...although on the poster, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks this, but Yukiho's face is just...yeah. And poor Miki, the crease goes through her face! I'll probably buy it this weekend, although I'll probably only understand a bit of what it says... XD

I found another good photo.

They let Miki avoid the crease, this time! (she's in it on the poster and in the article from before...)

Thanks for the pic

(is it just me, or does the art seem a little off, though? Miki's face looks...weird. And I know Haruka's head is tilted but she may have a little of Yukiho's crookedface...? I couldn't say for sure.)

You're welcome! (Everyone seems to say faces seems a little off. Even though I can't really tell, I guess it's because the face is in a different angle.)

[ikuto-sama]

Their faces do look a bit off, although it's especially noticeable with Yukiho. Oh well, not that I'm any artist either... XD

Hopefully they'll announce the broadcasting time soon. I'm thinking maybe summer-early fall?

I have no idea what anything says but I can say one thing...  the artwork is amazing.  I could literally go through this magazine for hours. 

That being said, I am anxious for the new anime.  I am in the middle of watching Lucky Star and will be finished soon.  I also had the pleasure to finally see Black Rock Shooter.

Maybe we should all watch other A-1 pictures anime to sort of get a feel for the animation style. I would recommend Kannagi and Fractale though I'm sure most of us are more familiar Valkyria Chronicles.

Sora no Woto if you want to get used to the weird-looking art.
