The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion
MetalPredat0r:
I found this from a message board:
Summary from interview with Aniplex producer:
-The show's story is focused on Mashiro Pro and the Cinderella Project
-Mashiro is a huge production company for which all the idols work.
-CG has a lot of girls so for the story to be more focused and less aimless they created the Cinderella Project to serve as main characters.
-But girls outside of Cinderella Project will have roles in the anime; family, mentors, friends, rivals... Nana and Mika are just a taste of all the girls that will appear.
-But they really had to narrow it down to 14 because the focus of Idolm@ster has always been character growth, specially since the main theme they're going for with Cinderella Girls is the Cinderella theme.
-346 = Mashiro = Beautiful Castle, and added to 765 it becomes 1111 which ties in with One for All
-The main focus of the story is growth and progress; it's about unknown girls aiming for stardom.
-For the main cast they're trying to expand the characters without losing sight of their heart. How many of these characters have siblings? How are their previously unrevealed family lives? What do they do when they aren't idoling? Things like that.
-They spend most of their time expanding on the characters and have a full document with all the little details.
-It takes place in the same world as the original anime (as shown in the movie ending) but 765 will probably not appear outside of maybe cameos.
-The first episode will be focused on explaining the setting and main characters.
-How were the Cinderella Project girls chosen? They're Noriko Takao's favorites (laughs). But really, they were picked because they had the most potential for growth because the drama and story of the show is about personal development.
-The New Generation girls are rather than main characters the vehicle for the audience; they're true rookies being introduced to the world of idoling. They're the center of the show but all 14 in Project Cinderella are the main characters.
-You don't need to have played the CG game or know the girls or even have seen the original anime to understand it. It's a show for everyone: fans and newcomers.
-Producer assures people that general elections or popularity don't influence anime plans. They won't make a girl stand out more just because she is popular.
-There are a lot of references and easter-eggs for game players but they're just that, they want everyone to be able to watch the anime.
-Lot of new songs, Sony Music and Columbia happy to cooperate.
-Watch the first three episodes to get a good idea of the world Noriko Takao has created.
-He seems pretty happy to say "Cinderella Girls is not a half-hearted work in any way; feel free to believe!"
-Live scenes will be similar to the old anime, minimal CG.

Honestly I'm concerned at having a whole of 14. Back when Uzupaka was announced to be an official main character for the new series, it was supposed to be different in composition from the iM@S TV series in large part of this character focus. So I could understand if we had 3 main characters. But if we have 14, the anime turns into a warmed-up rehash. Sort of like GBF TRY is not any better than GBF.

Wow this has made me pretty excited actually. Sounds like the anime is going to be exactly what I hoped it would be.
Nargrakhan:
Awwww... kinda disappointed there's no Syoko or Mayu. In fact I was really looking forward to having them interact with each other, seeing how they're the two mentally unstable girls, and a 4-koma shows them becoming fast friends because of the Producer's desk.
Still... it's all good. I got my Ranko and Miku~nya!
Waiting for that special OVA bad end, where Mayu goes killing everyone and Koume is the last survivor. ;)
***EDIT***
I wonder if we'll get a new Producer-san in this show.
AkuAkane:
I'm glad Kirari and Mio will be main characters (although I honestly never even considered Mio not being a main character since it was always obvious that Mio, Uzuki, and Rin would basically be the new Miki, Haruka, and Chihaya focus-wise). Rika is pretty good as well. The rest I do not care about in the least. Honestly wish the cast was more to my liking, but I guess three characters I like being main characters is better than none or just Mio. Honestly the only other girls from the original set of 30 I cared about being in the anime were Mika and Akane so I still made out pretty well I suppose. Although I don't care much for Riina on her own I'm hoping for some Riina and Natsuki interaction since they're really adorable together and I like Natsuki a lot. Mio and Akane interaction would be awesome as well. I don't think I even need to hope for Jougasaki sister interaction since I think thats pretty much guaranteed to happen. Not looking forward to Miku or Anzu at all, but oh well.
