Thanks to all you guys for the input, the Japanese wiki doesn't have some things I was looking for like the morning communication answers (or I didn't look hard enough...)

Yeah, they didn't have it because the responses are kinda straightforward to them, I guess. Although I wished there were more information on how picking who to talk to and selecting the +-- or -++ actually affects the unit's moods.
Still. This is a great improvement over the original iMAS where it was pretty much completely random, right? Or was it possible to pick the best communication choice based on some kind of rhyme and reason back in iMAS1?

I'm pretty sure it was always random XD The non-random greetings throw in a little extra pressure (like, say you need a -++ answer, but you're only given a +++ or --- answer, so what do you do?), so I wouldn't put them as a -full- advantage over the random greetings, but hey.
I admit, though, I like having no random choices before auditions, though, where you can't skip through the text or anything. Hooray for easy lip-reading game.
...What's the advantage/disadvantage of doing that right/wrong, by the way? It doesn't seem to actually have an effect on anything.

I liked DS and managed to get through it though I was forever putting off Ai's story Ai please stop screaming at me, I started with it but then recently got SP. The gameplay is really different, to the point I think I may have cocked up my SP playthrough with the DS mindset. Lesson learnt. orz
I've never played any of the Xbox games, but if you manage to start with a portable game I'd make it an SP one first.

Hmm...well, as far as the iM@S games where you play as Producer, SP is the one I'd recommend starting with. You learn how to play the game well because it's easy :D iM@S1 is a lot harder than SP, and then iM@S2 is...well, in the middle, I'd say Though, I never had a problem producing in iM@S1, and my first iM@S2 run was a bad end XDD.
In general, even though the games would be out of order (not that it matters, none of them are connected anyway), I'd recommend going from SP to iM@S1 to iM@S2...and, I guess, throw in DS wherever, if you want to give it a go.

My first IM@S game was SP. It's a good game to start with because it's not too hard to understand, and even if you only know a little Japanese you can get by because there's English splattered on the menus everywhere. Communications and raising tension are usually the only hard parts for me, because sometimes I don't know what I'm saying. And there's plenty of info on the forums that can help you out with any of the IM@S games.
Since DS is different than the other IM@S games because it's from the idol's perspective, I wouldn't recommend it for your first IM@S game. Also the fact that it just isn't...as good as the others. I like DS, but it has new characters and until you know all of the 765 idols it might be a bit confusing.
I haven't played any of the 360 games yet. Wish I had a J360 to play them, but I'm broke. I have to wait until I'm able to get a job...1 1/2 more years! XD
