Nayre:
Hello everyone, I'm Nayre. I discovered Idolmaster through the anime about 2 years back.  I use to call myself an anime fan even though the only ones I've seen were the mainstream ones like Naruto, Bleach, Attack on Titan.  I used to think SAO was the best thing ever.  Then I stumbled upon this blog that listed all the top animes by year, genre, and other sub categories.  So I watched some and was blown away by shows like Madoka, Stein's Gate, Uchouten Kazoku, forever changing my view on anime.  I came across Idolmaster, which was the SoL pick for 2011. Never seen an idol show so I didn't know what to expect.  Thought it was just gonna be a bunch of cute girls singing and dancing to generic J-pop music.  Needlessly to say, I was pleasantly surprised.  I was completely drawn in by the second episode. I remember tearing up a bit after seeing the OP for the first time.  The show had a unique "charm" that I haven't felt in any other anime I've seen before.  I quickly became emotionally attached to the characters, cheering them on up until their big debut concert which was truly a spectacle.  The first 13 episodes alone was enough for Im@s to land a spot in my fave anime of all time(possibly even the top).  I love the immense feeling of joy I got from the series and from the songs especially. 

Right after finishing the anime, I went on a frenzy looking up all the songs. I found out about Im@s2 on youtube and eventually came across this site while trying to look up stuff.  Been using it ever since to look up CDs, master versions, character info.  I didn't know about the forum until a few days ago though lol.  I've still yet to play any of the games, so I'm more of a surface fan right now.  But I'm glad to have found a place where I can share my love for Im@s with others.  It's hecka lonely being a fan here in the US.

Welcome aboard, rookie producer ;)

It seems that the anime draws more attention than the game itself, so who's your favorite girl, may I ask? :)

If you want to dive into the game itself, One For All will be a good start for you. Basically it's nothing different from iM@S 2, but much easier and the game has no actual end - you can be their producer as long as you wish, even if you beat the Rank-A idol contest.

But if you'd like to buy downloadable contents, don't buy any songs or costumes since they're excessively expensive. Make sure you go for EX Episodes, they expand the story line quite a little, plus it comes with exclusive costumes/image songs for all the girls.

Heyo! Welcome to forums, mate! Glad to have you here. I know how ya feel, being an iM@S fan with little to no people (other than here) to share your interest. :U

altuixde:
What was it about the second episode of the anime that drew you in, Nayre? I actually gave up on the anime for a while after watching the first episode because it reminded me of reality TV. I don't think that the first episode is so bad anymore, but I'm glad that the whole anime isn't like that.

Anyway, welcome and congratulations on finding the forum! We really ought to make the forum more easy to stumble across from the wiki. 8)

Haha thanks!

Well, my initial favorites from watching the anime were Haruka and Miki.  But when I got around to listening to the master artist CDS, Hibiki caught my attention.  I always thought she was an interesting character, but she wasn't featured as much in the anime, mostly taking the role of backup dancer and supporting the others, and her character episode was pretty vague so I didn't have much to go on other than her love for animals.  The only time I heard her singing voice was from her insert song, Brand New Day, which I didn't really like at the time.  So when I heard her DREAM, I was surprised that her voice was so powerful.  It was when I listened to her cover of Nada Sousou that I decided that she was my number 1 fave.  I also really like her range, being able to cover all types of songs really well.  I love how she can sound so sweet in songs like My Song and Nanairo Button, or mature and bada$$ in Overmaster and I Want.  I've also taken a great liking to Chihaya(prolly #2), who also has a pretty good range.  She's surprisingly really good at cutesy songs.  I love seeing her perform songs like Kiramekirari and READY!!(So HNNNNGGG!)  Happy Chihaya is best Chihaya.  Then I have Miki at #3 because she's well, Miki.  ;D
(I have a feeling she doesn't sit too well with the female fans lol.)

Ah ok.  I've been planning on saving up for a PS3 just for the game lol.  Though I feel I won't be able to enjoy the game to the fullest, being not able to understand Japanese and all.  I'll just roll with it I guess.  8)

Yeah, I heard the DLC is pretty pricey, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.  It's inevitable since a lot of the songs I like ended up being DLC.  :-\
