this is really stupid
i hope all your cd's are defective columbia and i hope the all cv's(except hara yumi) will get drop kicked by broly one day.
this is the biggest imas disappointment yet since break.
they chose songs no one knows because they are cheap to license, or particularly free because they are sung by bums or disbanded bands that were bums. the songs aren't even that good wtf
the art of the cover looks... really retarded, christmas choir does not fit imas characters :K
why did they make azusa look more like the whore chiaki than azusa? and chihaya looks like a old man/bishop. the illustrator is my role model, but was forced to draw something stupid, i feel sorry you 杏仁豆腐 ;_;
I'd like to differ and debate on some of this.
First up, the art. Not the best, I'll admit, but I wouldn't say it as 'bad' rather........unusual. The preview's small so I'm not judging much, but it looks fine. White ain't the best pic on the weather, being at night and it's a blue one, may I add. The idols look more of sacristans than a choir (excessive white, light colors, but then, at some places, the clothes design are the same XD). Regardless, coloring isn't such a hot point here. Though I will give them credit for thinking of using this. Most definitely a bold move for them. Last note: As far as I can see, they're all wearing the same thing. Only difference is the size (obviously).
Also, the songs. I remember reading in the old forum that like, majority of iM@S' songs are old, probably since the last decade, but fans didn't care much, heck, they loved it (Don't deny it, you're one too, right?

). We hear in some Christmas songs "Give peace a chance." With what you're doing, well, it's pretty much the opposite. And why not give them a chance on these songs? Couldn't visualize at the time? Chill. We'll get previews, and perhaps more than we would expect.
As always, I'm gonna have to go neutral on this until I hear what is offered. I can't, nor should anyone would, say something's good or bad until 100% of it can be reviewable.
Last thing. iM@S is a multi-piece set. Denying any of it and taking only a select few would only mean its breakdown and loss of meaning. And in before the move, it includes what's in and outside of the franchise, including fan artists and what not.
