The iDOLM@STER Million Live Anime Discussion
OniZetto:
Even if Million Live is really going to have its own anime, I don't think it will be anything this close; We haven't even finish with Cinderella Project, and now we're going to have Million Live together? That's just not gonna happen.
765 had their real anime in 2011, which is 6 years after their debut. Cinderella Girls, however, is much closer then their seniors (like three years after) but there's still a few years of gap in between. So if we're really going to have Million Live anime, at least we should wait for another 3 years; none of these companies will overlap two similar anime in such short period.
I don't know much about how they produce their plots, but since the front-half of Cinderella Project has no much difference than the original, another similar story is predictable.

How popular is Million Live now? I recall some time ago that the CG mobile had like 3 million registered users, but Million Live only had a fraction of that. But, that was some time ago.
Million Live is still relatively new. I'm sure the anime can boost its popularity even if the 765pro idols are not present (of course I have nothing to back up that statement. I'm just using my guts.) Though having a strong 765pro presence may actually backfire. I don't know. But, there's a lot of idol stuff out there, so they need to step-up their game somehow if they want to make ML stand out.
I can understand where you're coming from since you really love ML and want people to acknowledge it. After all your favorite idol is Shiho (or am I wrong?) I think that day will come, but it may take a long time before it reaches that point as long as the anime turns out to be good (which I can understand why you're worried about that since you don't like the usual A-1 formula).
Personally, Million Live has my most favorite artstyle/artwork. A lot of the idols look pretty. It has the most beautiful looking Chihaya I have ever seen. So, I've exposed myself to the Million Live characters at least their voices and profile. I did the same for CG (because of the anime).

Yes, that's true. I'm sure Namco is smart enough not to do that (though I could be wrong). Like you mentioned probably not until 3 years later.

Million Live is relatively popular, but not to the extent of Cinderella Girls. You are right, I shouldn't be too worried right now since the game is only two years old. Hopefully the anime is what'll give it that boost.
Good point on the 765 presence. It might be a hindrance to the original characters since people might either focus too much on the originals or complain that the originals took a back seat to these new characters. I will agree the manga has a great balance, bringing in the originals only for plot reasons (ESPECIALLY in the latest Tsubasa arc).
Shiho is my favorite, hence her current presence as my Skype icon. ;)
The artwork was probably one of the main factors that got me into it. My first exposure to iM@S was the 2011 anime, so ML having a style that was most familiar to me helped. ML also benefits GREATLY from the HUGE leap in art quality. Seriously, compare any card from 2013 to anything from 2015 and the leap in quality is pretty noticeable, imo.

Absolutely agreed. I am not expecting this to air until 2017 at the earliest; 2018 if they want to hype it up as a fifth anniversary celebration. Airing it in 2016 would feel a bit too soon after Cinderella Girls. Although if you consider CG it's own thing, it'll have been two years since the Movie, which was the last anime-related material to star 765Pro, the agency.
Maka:
I just realized that if they use the same main cast they've been pushing in the manga, Tomoka won't get screen time.
My excitement dulled somewhat.
DeviantProtagonist:
Would said manga cast happen to include both Kotoha and Sayoko?
