THE iDOLM@STER and your family

<< < (2/11) > >>

Benpc91:
My brother loves it, shares a file with me on the 360 version and owns a copy of SP.
My sisters absolutely love it and try learning the dances.
My parents don't care about my otaku interests unless it is some slice-of-life comedy anime.  Though they do like some of the songs.

Raestloz:
I don't have the games, but I did order a few copies of the CDs, and my family doesn't seem to mind, about the CDs that is, about the cash... well... since it's MY money, they don't either, it's just they asked me if it's really worth it. Understandable, each copy is worth 1/3 of my monthly money...

RoninatorMarx:
The only person in my family who has the most knowledge of iM@S (yet knows so little) is my younger brother. He knows I go to these forums and seen me do my sigs of the girls in the past. He's kinda neutral on this, labeling iM@S as 'another thing Japanese my brother likes,' or so it was implied.

The only time I openly talked about iM@S to a family member was when I had an IM chat with my aunt in Japan, seeing if she can get one of those keychain plushies for me (of course, to no avail. I wanted Yayoi >.<).

Long story short: iM@S is just one of the things my family see me having an interest over, but is too mixed up with all the other things I like for them to get a grasp of what it is.

Cael K.:
I'm not sure my family really knows about Idolm@ster that much, as I keep my otaku tendencies somewhat hidden. In fact, when meeting people for the first time, even other otaku, I usually withhold some of my own otakuness until I ascertain whether or not they're into the same sort of stuff I am. Otaku are wide and varied, you know.

But even if my family did know about my Idolm@ster obsession (or my moe obsession)... if they don't like it, too bad. I don't need anyone's approval to like what I like, and my fandom doesn't cross into anything that's morally wrong. I get the feeling that they'd just accept it as one of my eccentricities, however.

All you guys with families that share in your fandom... respect.

Everything else being said... from my own opinion, Idolm@aster's gameplay is extremely well-balanced, reminding me of rock-paper-scissors (trust me, it makes great games when expanded on), so the gamer in me is really happy. It's just that it's stripped so far down that it's plain to see.

ninjamitsuki:
To give some more information, my mom is very interested in THE iDOLM@STER (I always spell it with that capitalization because that's how it is on the box and it looks cooler xD), but only in the singing and dancing part, not the idol raising part. If she watches me play most of SP, she gets bored and asks when she's going to sing. I guess she'd like Live For You a lot, since it's all about the music,  but I can't play it due to not having a Japanese 360.
