Well, Wednesday tomorrow, which means someone's gonna get announced for a Cinderella Master CD. Kinda nervous myself, since I've been right two-in-a-row already.
Speculation time: Should I be right about my predicted wave, I bet they might announce Mio. Overlooked, but not as much as Uzuki. This move may bring some unsettling to the fanbase, but they'll make it up with next week introducing Nao, and on the last week, Kirari, who is the most popular among this group I theorized.
I guess another reason why I put Mio before and not in the same wave as Uzuki is popularity. As it stands, Mio is still underlooked while Uzuki is in a better light (Heck, there are TWO hashtags in pixiv made just for her). Putting her ahead would boost her popularity (for what it's worth) and just hype Uzuki's even more. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if in Wave Three, they reveal her last.
I feel uncomfortable calling it an idolm@ster game even because it's not. It's a card game. It's a virtual pokemon game..."Gotta catch 'em all" sorta thing.
Well, it is an idolmaster game. Because it has 'idolmaster' in its title, involves you as a P, and has some of the known characters in it. It's in the same justification of calling non-shooter Touhou games as such- it is because it identifies with the series. Same thing here.
