Idolmaster Cinderella Girls

[Maka]

Welcome, you two! Don't forget to make an intro thread if you haven't already.

I've been alternating my votes between Mika and Syuko, so if Syuko wins I would be really happy. I think she's been long overdue for a voice. If she wins, we would have 75% of our Cinderella Girl winners be cool type, but that's sort of expected since cool has a LOT of popular girls.

Having the Cinderella Girl be somebody unvoiced in general would be a shock. Moreso than Anya's 2nd place victory in 2013.

Perhaps people are starting to realize that this is a way to get a voice for their favorite idol.
I mean some of them have been there for years and have no voice.

If I could choose 2 girls of each type, these would be my prime candidates to receive voice:
Cute: Mireu and Chika
Cool: Arisu and Asuka
Passion: Risa and Yumi

So I might be getting one of those if Yumi stays in the top of passion.


--Actually I found that one Arisu card does have a voice, added in like February, I only have those unvoiced ones. Do they usually add voice to the older cards too or will it stay unique to this S rare? I mean the regular S rare version cost 340 Stam drinks on trade listing!!! That's so much xD

Oh maybe I should try pushing Mika too so she stays in the top of Passion at least. Maybe they would be generous and made another card where there is Rika on the background xD That way I would get them both in one

Usually it's a single SR that gets voiced plus the Normal, then other cards start slowly getting voices added.

I think people are voting for Syuko because A) she's pretty and her personality is pretty unique and B) people want her to get voiced after losing to Arisu.

But if I had to pick two girls to get voiced...

Cool: Syuko (obviously) and Asuka
Cute: Mirei and Kozue
Passion: Takumi and Yoshino

Arisu won the poll in December for giving an unvoiced character a voice. I don't play the game, but I do know that the cards that get voiced are future S Rares and that idols initial cards upon their debut. This is from what I've seen.

I know that many fans are waiting for Kyoko to get a voice since she's the most consistently popular unvoiced Cute idol ever since the game first came out. But then again, thanks to the anime, voiced idols are looking to be decided from picking names out of a hat. Aki and Yui, anyone?

I'd love to see Takumi, Natalia, and Mirei get voices, though.

Thanks guys, I'll do an introduction thread later ^^

Although she wont probably be in the top 10, I'm glad that there is still some Momoka Sakurai love, as she fell into oblivion after the first PV of the Cinderella Girls.

I wonder if someday she'll have a voice actress too, as she is the only one of that PV without one yet.

[Steve]

Oh thats great then, can't wait for the initial Arisu cards to get a voice then, got the normal and  the recorder Rare (now as a +) so any of those would be great.

And to be honest I don't know who I would change instead of her for my second Cool type vote. Asuka is great but all the other Cool girls I like already have a voice (Nao, Ranko, Rin... thats about it).

I guess maybe Nanami or Aya wouldnt be too bad either, they seem pretty cool~

Also Kozue is really cute indeed, maybe I could swap her instead of Chika xD Tough choice, dem lolis are all cute xD

And Yoshino for passion.. well since Yumi is already in the lead maybe Yoshino with some new cute card would be good too, she doesn't have many cards now so having more options would be great, her S rare + is pretty meh ( the regular S rare is much better imo xD)

[monomarquis]

Syuko, Yumi, and Shiki are the top three! Hopefully it stays that way Im tired of the new gen hijack. Also it's crazy I SWARE Kaede will never leave top 10. But given how it's going, it's already 5 of the same girls on in the poll so the CD might  have Nana,Rin, Uzuki, Mio, and Kaede on it again! I like Rin but damn, some of the girls have only been on 2 cds so far give them a chance to be on other cds lmao

[Cael K.]

I liked the unvoiced character poll better. Cinderella Girls has gone on for a few years, so most characters that'd top these polls already have a voice.

I suppose you could always say that a voiced idol gets more development or something if they keep topping polls...

Good point, though I would probably like the unvoiced character poll more if it weren't for the fact that only the 1st place will get voiced instead of something like the top 3.

I agree! That's kind of why I wan't someone other than Rin or NG to rank so high, I wanna see some of the other voiced girls and see them get developed. I love Rin to death but I wanna see the other characters  I enjoy getting some development as well through topping polls. But yet again it isn't the people in charge making the decisions it's the fans. But still, I hope Anzu can pull ahead of Uzuki, so that the 3 cutes we have on the cd have a chance to be Shiki,Miku, and Anzu. Rin's gonna be hard to beat though, who's the next highest ranked cool type after her? Same with Mio?

Yeah the unvoiced poll would be so cool if say like you said top 3 get voiced, but I can understand just one though with how hard it can be to find an actress for the character.
There probably won't be a voice poll for a while since they have a bunch of girls voiced through the anime waiting to get cds (which is about 10 right now) plus Arisu who won the voice poll. Wonder if they'll announce the next batch of 5 cd debuts since the first cour of the anime is ending Friday.

Me again, this time registered~

Compiled all the preliminary results into a single pic if you are interested

Sad to see no Rika or Miria and also almost no Passion idols in the top 10 :O

I would actually like to see Mirei win, she is one of the cutest girls but doesn't have a voice Currently 14th in cute type, it would require lot of people switching to her xD

The lack of Miria is truly upsetting. I suppose Sae being 15th Cute is a consolation, but still.

I'm a bit disappointed that Chieri's fallen out of top 10 overall, but I suppose it can't be helped if the anime hasn't done her much favors. On the other hand, Miku's been doing great, but I wasn't expecting her popularity to skyrocket so much either. Hell, Cute domination in the top 10 is a first, isn't it? Though I expected Kyoko to be a bit higher too.

[Steve]

Yeah both Miria and Rika missing there is sad, those are the 2 I voted for other than 1 vote that I gave to Miku but like 4 for each of the lolis and to no avail xD Guess I'll dump the rest to Miku, she was after all one of my favorites before I even started playing the game, just from the anime (she seems to me like the best represented character in there).

Regarding these votes...

This election is a prime example of how current game events really influence votes. That's why characters like Yumi, Shiki, and Syuko are in the top 3 (they're all Gacha SRs plus they're popular), and Mika, Miku, and even Anzu ranked really high on rankings. They're all featured in the events. Yuuki, Tomoe, and Asuka (event SRs) are in the top 15, but I doubt that they'll gain more votes than usual. Interestingly, Rika and Minami didn't rank in the top 15 but I'm sure they're ranked pretty decently. However, that won't stop people from voting other characters (Kaede, NG, Nana, Sachiko to name a few) and that's a shame because I while I liked some of them, I prefer to see unvoiced characters take the spotlight. Once the events end, things are going to change drastically unless Yumi, Shiki, and Syuko fans can keep up faster than the rest.

[MetalPredat0r]

I agree, I'd much rather have unvoiced characters get the spotlight so as to give them more development. My thing about CG is that if you're unvoiced, that gives me less of a chance to truly acknowledge them since a big part of iM@S for me is voices. I mean, this franchise IS about the music, right? If there are a bunch of characters without voices, not much a reason to focus on that particular idol. That's why I want characters such as Takumi or Natalia voiced. I like their designs and stories, but I can't give them much attention without voices.

Also, I don't want another NG Hijack for the Drama Track, so something in me wants any member of NG as FAR away from any top ranking as possible. I know it's impossible due to Rin's popularity, but still.
