THE iDOLM@STER > THE iDOLM@STER 2
So, I have idolmaster 2,an iphone,and small knowledge on Hiragana
Daverost:
Learn hiragana and katakana. If you watch a lot of subbed anime or play a lot of undubbed games, you should be able to get by really well with just that level of reading and some familiarity with common words and phrases. iM@S isn't particularly complicated to read because so many of the idol industry terms are English anyway.

You can power through, but well... I won't pull my punches, you're going to be digging trenches and fighting the long fight if you're coming in without too much knowledge of Japanese. What is essential is a grasp of grammar, including what particles mean. Everything else is just a dictionary look-up, but knowing (or being able to guess) the stroke order for your kanji is a real big plus since some (many? almost all?) handwriting detection algorithms take that into account. There are general rules you can use for guessing stroke order, though.
Wikipedia knows everything, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_order
Don't worry, I've been there myself and you can learn so much... even better, get some gut feeling about how the language works, it's just you'll have to go through a proportional amount of effort to do it. My advice once again: start with grammar, start with particles, and toss in conjugations. If you know how the words relate to each other, you can use a dictionary and figure out the exact meaning of what you're reading. If you know a bunch of words and not how they relate to each other... well, dictionaries aren't going to solve that.
Honestly though, Im@s is pretty tame compared to some series as far as complexity goes.

At least it's not a Steins Gate. XP
Elixir:
Haha, Steins;Gate in Japanese is... yeah.
I think you're good to go. Enough to understand the flow of the game, perhaps not the whole side-story the PS3 version has but that's pretty forgettable anyway.
