So it's actually about the idolm@ster this time...?

 
will watch this!
Has anyone said anything about doing subs yet?

[Kaminos]

Yes, it'll be focused on 765.

Came for more info about the game... instead I get an anime announcement...

WTF, NBGI?

... ...

TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH TO ANNOUNCE THIS!

This was what that Xenoglossia crap should have been in the first place. It makes perfect sense, really. Anime with a focus on music have been quite the hit lately (Macross Frontier, K-On!), and even though the 765 Productions have done so many live concerts and released so many new singles every year, you gotta admit they've never really gotten any sort of mainstream attention for it.

This anime is just what they need. Songs that debut in the anime could carry over to iM@S2 as well.

They better not screw it up this time. Or else... Yayoi will suffer!

Oh hey, long haired Azusa character design sketch.

[SalemJeanette]

Iori, Ami and Azusa dont have their RK outfits.
No Touma and Hokuto.
Maybe this could happen in a pre im@s 2 time?
like before RK is born and Azusa cuts her hair. All leading to the start of the game

I hope someone subs it D: The English-speaking iM@S community is pretty small, comparatively (it's like...this forum XD) but I really want to watch it~

[Katsuyuki-P]

Oh! Awesome! And no robots to be seen! Or is there? o_o

Either way, any information on the studio that will be doing this?

Oh Hell Yeah! This is gonna be sweet! This time with no robots.

I hope someone subs this.

[ProjectAria]

Ritsuko is still shown as a Producer. ;_;

[Haldo]

Wow! When's this coming out again?

[Picup]

I feel a pre-im@s 2ish feeling to this.  Like how everyone debuted by themselves, how Ritsuko became a Producer, and how Ryuuguu Komachi came around and all that.  (basically what Salem said)

I'm sure someone will sub it; I mean people subbed Xenoglossia and the OVA -- so I don't see why not the new anime.

They better not screw it up this time. Or else... Yayoi will suffer!

Yes! I mean, no not Yayoi!

Atsushi Nishigori is the character designer.
(the designer of gurren-lagann and miki & stocking)
Do i smell Gainax here?

[hamuzou961]

ANN says Aniplex, which is still good. I'd be surprised if gainax worked on an imas project, although gainax and aniplex have worked closely together in the past.
