The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion

[zaitcev]

To me, Uzuki is the protagonist, the main character. Rin is, more or less, the mascot of Cinderella Girls.

There was a similar duo in AKB0048, with Nagisa (CV: Karen Iwata) being the main heroine and Chieri (CV: Mayu Watanabe) her rival. Not to spoil too much, the creators (Director: Shoji Kawamori) applied a finely crafted Solomon solution to the finale, so it's arguable who "won". Chieri was obviously more capable and received the capability prize, while Uzu.., er... Nagisa received the "heart" prize. This sort of resolution was uncommon in the anime before and perhaps we will see a replay.

Anyone know where I can read about the information on the CG anime that was in Megami?

I've searched in both English and Japanese, but I can't find anything.

A train station in Japan is putting up wall posters for the Cinderella Girls anime. One of these, pictured below, is the key visual for Cute idols.

 

Does this confirm Momoka getting a voice?

Passion Visual!



I didn't upload the Cool Visual here because Okayu uploaded it to the main Cinderella Girls thread.

EDIT: Higher quality version.

...Why Nina?

But Syoko's in, AOAT.

Because she was in the PV.

Which has me thinking, now that we know that all 30 girls from the Onegai! Cinderella PV are in the anime, does this mean that Sae and Yuko are not going to appear at all? I'm actually kinda worried because if that were the case, then giving them voices would not only feel like a waste, but it would also give me the vibes that those two were chosen at the last minute and Momoka and Nina were actually SUPPOSED to be in Batch Six instead. :/

Keep in mind that creating an anime takes years to finish, so the team release their product after they complete it. Nina and Momoka both most likely have a voice, but weren't announced until time has come.

Good point. Maybe Sae and Yuko can have a cameo or something.

Cinderella Girls feels a bit difficult for me to get into because there are so many characters and etc. I'm looking forward to the anime because I hope it'll make the series feel more approachable and less overwhelming, haha.

If you wanna get into it, my suggestion would be to start with the 30 or so idols that have CDs (and then are making appearances in the anime)! The music for CG is really, really good overall. Maybe pick a few characters that pique your interest and read more into them?

There's also this but for some of the less popular characters it's really inaccurate... It's better than nothing, though?

[millefeuille]

Ah thank you, that's a good idea! It helps that I love going on tvtropes.

First official PV (as in, with original animations, no rehashes) can be found here:

Its looking like a New Generation focused anime. Which I completely expected anyway.

I'm kinda meh on the fact that it's NG mostly, but I guess it can't be helped.

Of course the PV comes out while I'm at school with no headphones though lol

[DeviantProtagonist]

The visuals are quite beautiful, for starters. Here's to hoping the original thirteen make cameos or at most have an episode based around them.

Particularly Chihaya just because. :3

[altuixde]

There was a glass slipper in the PV. Do you think they'll explain why the franchise is called Cinderella Girls? Or have they already explained that?
