The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Anime Discussion

[Maka]

I thought Hibiki's episode was okay, and actually focused on her... As opposed to Iori, who didn't really get an episode.

I do have a feeling that each character focus epispde is gonna have at least one NG Girl in there, but the focus won't be on them, since NG are meant to be the surrogate characters, like Producer in anim@s. Like, NG is in EP5, but I feel that Minami and Anastasia are gonna be the main focus of the episode.

I was surprised that episode 2 of anim@s was Iori's (as indicated by the end credits). At first, I thought that the character episodes had started with episode 3. At least Iori got a significant role during Yayoi's episode, though.

Here's the preview of Episode 5 featuring Koume and Ranko.

EDIT: Thanks for the corrections Nargrakhan.

Here's the preview of Episode 5 featuring Chieri and Ranko.

Actually it's Koume Shirasaka and Ranko giving the voice over. When paired together, Idolmaster really gets a "gothic" vibe.

I've always been interested in hearing them paired together to perform a suitably dark and spooky duet song.

Looks like Aki, Shizuku, and Sanae are voiced according to the wiki. (I didn't watch episode 5 yet, so...)

I think I'm more excited for Love Laika's song than I am for NG's. The little preview sounded really nice. Also, they actually addressed NG Trio getting what the other girls have been working for for ages, something that's been bugging me the past couple of eps, and made it the main source of conflict in the ep...

[Nargrakhan]

Looks like... Shizuku... voiced according to the wiki.

Listen.

You hear that?

It's the sound of "IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME" screaming across the universe.

The greatest set of Moo♪ in iM@S history now has a voice.

You've uncorked the oppai genie Namco Bandai... where's that Master CD!?

[monomarquis]

Shizuku was due for a voice tbh. Love Laika's song sounds ultimately better than NG's song tho

I heard somewhere that Natsuki Kimura will be getting a voice soon? MAYBE? HOPEFULLY?

[Chance4U]

Hooray for voiced idols! Although, it makes me wonder about the criteria Scamco is using to choose who to voice. Sanae and Shizuku I can understand, but Aki has never ranked in an election before.. I have no problem with her, it's just odd that she was chosen.

Story wise, that would make sense. The anime website still continues to display her as voiceless though, and Natsuki also has never ranked in an election either. Only time will tell, I guess. The idols below are the unvoiced ones who have ranked at least once in an election. They have a better chance than most to be voiced.

Hajime Fujiwara, Takumi Mukai, Yui Ohtsuki, Kyoko Igarashi, Momoka Sakurai, Yumi Aiba, Kako Takafuji, Syuko Shiomi, Noa Takamine, Nono Morikubo, Mirei Hayasaka, Yukimi Sajo, Miyu Mifune, Hinako Kita, Yume Narumiya, Tomoe Murakami, Shinobu Kudo, Natalia, Eve Santaclaus, Yuzu Kitami, Ayame Hamaguchi, Shiki Ichinose, Asuka Ninomiya, Haru Yuuki, Hina Araki, and Yoshino Yorita.

This is true! But I'm saying because someone said someone got into the directors notes or whatever and they had a cv ready for natsuki. here's what the post said "someone looked into the developers tools for the cg anime site and theres a cv section ready for natsuki kimura"  I mean it would make a lot of sense because Riina is really close to Natsuki and there would be open space for if Riina gets an episode around her that she may meet Natsuki (honestly she probably already knows Natsuki and loves her and looks up to her a lot) and talk to her about wanting to be a rock idol.

Ah, are you talking about the website script? Because there is a VA section available for Natsuki, but it could be a placeholder.. I'm not entirely sure though, because Hina Araki and Sarina Matsumoto don't have this section, but the script may just be different at that part of the page due to the way it's setup.

I'm not sure. They didn't go into details but it may be. I checked around the script too. I have seen the website and seen Natsuki on there so maybe they do have her up for a reason. I am skeptical though. But hey Aki got voiced and she wasn't on a poll, so maybe they're just voicing whomever?  I wonder if they will voice Hina or Sarina though. I really like Hina tbh. ;-)

Is there a source for that?

Also, I wonder if anyone can read the lyrics for Love Laika's song (looking forward to it). It's at 14:15.

[monomarquis]

Is there a source for that?

I'll look around! I'd be skeptical. Like I said a few post ago I heard she might be getting one, not that she is getting one.
