Tengu B:
Yeah, and if A-1's being predictable then the first drama arc will end up being about Tsubasa because the yellow position goes first.
MetalPredat0r:
And if A-1 is REALLY predictable, Tsubasa quits.
I just don't want the drama to be such a downer. The manga handled it PERFECTLY. While Shizuka's drama happened, Anna, Serika, and Konomi were having their own silly antics at Shizuka's school. Balance it out and don't make it more depressing than a funeral.

I had forgotten about Mio from CG. Yeah, that was pretty bad. And, I still hate her ever since.
But, I'm sure the drama from Million Live will be fine. They have more experience and time to plan it out, so that it's more moderate.
One thing I would like for Million Live to have is their own identity. Rather than simply riding on the success of the 765pro idols, they should become independent (I know it's the same company), and have their own focus and attention. Not just simply being 765pro successors. The Cinderella Girls are pretty independent and don't need the 765pro idols for their own identity (Yes, I know it's a different company). I believe the other units in 346pro are independent from Cinderalla Girls Project for the most part. So, I want the ML idols to have that same aspect as the CG. The manga seems to illustrate this as the 765pro are pretty much absent throughout except for the very early chapters.
Of course, that would require a new producer in order to have a new direction. The 2011 producer wouldn't be a good choice (not only because I don't like him), but he would be constantly comparing them to the 765pro idols. And, that might create conflict since one of the idols will be mad and jealous that they aren't good enough as their more experienced colleagues and might quit later. And, the super depressing drama begins.
But, whatever direction ML anime takes, I'm sure it will turn out fine. I already know I'm going to enjoy it better than CG since Chihaya will likely make an appearance even if it's just a few seconds.

I'm hearing that there were actually two animated trailers for Million Live: one for the LIVE THE@TER DREAMERS series and the other for an anime. Is this legit?

Iirc first trailer was for cds, last trailer in the set was for the anime. Pretty certain they explicitly wordered it as such.

The problem I have with A-1 that I mentioned on Friday (which you weren't there for, I know) is that they know how to start and end on a strong note, but everything in between is mixed. Its been like that for both seasons of 2011, the movie, and the first season of CG. At this point, I'm expecting ML to have the same issue. An absolutely fantastic first episode or two followed by a hit-or-miss rest of the season with an excellent ending.
I'm mixed on not having the veterans. On one hand, I would like to see the ML originals stand out on their own and gain their own identity. On the other hand, there are fans out there that can't really give much attention to anything iM@S without the originals, so giving the originals some sort of noteworthy presence (especially in an anime) will give people that comfort zone while still wishing to get to know the newcomers. I say this an someone who loves ML and want more people to appreciate and talk about it with.
Also, I just don't want anymore "I quit" drama. Its been done to death already, especially since A-1 has done it three times with Miki, Kana, and Mio. Really says something when even Akabane (the voice of Producer from 2011) criticized A-1 on Twitter for it.

I call that into question because I'm hearing people say its not an announcement for an anime because if it were, there'd be a much bigger deal made out of it. So far, only Dengeki reported on it and even then I heard they had to retract their statement. I'm really cconfused. @_@
