Hey everyone! ^^
Personal Info:
Real Name: Ashley
Sex: Female
Country of Origin: America
Age (upon joining): 22
Hobbies: Anime/manga, video games, being like Hibiki when it comes to animals, amongst other things!
=Q&A=
Q: How did you come across this site?
A: I always tend to search for interesting tidbits of information for whatever characters I may be into. I'm a little weird like that.
Q: Why did you join this site?
A: To talk to other iM@S fans of course! This community seems pretty nice, so I'm looking forward to it!
Q: Do you play it?
A: Ugh, no.
Q: Do you wish you could play it?
A: Of course! Unfortunately I'm a bit lacking when it comes to moon. By lacking I mean I have absolutely no idea, save certain character's names. :s I might still eventually buy one of the games to show my support though.
Q: Who is your favorite idol?
A: It changes so much... At the moment, either Haruka or Chihaya probably. Though when I first got into iM@S, Makoto was my favorite. Honestly, I've just started getting into Million Live. I have a few idols I like from that. Not sure if I’ll ever get into Cinderella Girls though. Too many idols for me to keep up with… just not my taste.
Q: Why is your username "Takechan"?
A: Just something people called me on another forum prior so it stuck, I suppose.
Q: What are you in to right now?
A: Besides iM@S, random other things such as Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, or games like Minecraft, Diablo 3 and Skyrim. Anime wise, the only other thing I'm into really at the moment is Girls und Panzer.
Q: What is your motto?
A: I don't really have one. I try to be a "glass half full" type of person... if that counts for anything!
Q: Who's your favorite singer(s) right now?
A: I couldn't name one, honestly. Though a few years ago I was extremely into Paramore.
Q: What are you up to right now?
A: Getting ready to study for midterms coming up! Ugh, those are terrible. x.x
Q: Do you have any expectations from this site?
A: Not really, aside from just getting to know people and enjoy talking about idol stuff!
=== Other Stuff ===
Hey again! Thanks for taking the time to read! ^^ Honestly, I haven't been with iM@S for long so I'm probably a baby in comparison to some of you in that regard, but I can obsess like no one's business. XD Hope you're all having a nice day!

Welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here!

Hello! Welcome to the forums!!
Haruka is the best idol, so I like you already.

Thanks! ^^

Haha, thanks for the welcome! Haruka is quite lovely. Who are some of your favorites? By the way, you're the one who posts a lot of cosplay right? I love all of it! xD

Welcome to the Forums, Ashley!
Don't worry, I do the same tidbits thing when it comes to characters. X)!
Have you seen the anime? If so, what are your favorite episodes?
Which ML idols would you consider your top choices?
I hope you enjoy your stay! ^-^!
-
Thanks! ^^
I have seen the anime! At least, the good one. I tried watching Xeno. Actually, that's what got me into idolmaster in the first place (for better or worse). My favorite episodes are 20, 15 and 9. 15 and 9 were probably two of the more funny episodes if I had to narrow it down, in my opinion; and 20 might have made me cry.
My top ML idols are Shiho, Kana, Megumi, Kotoha, Elena, Ayumu, Subaru, Roco, Chizuru, Mirai, Shizuka, and Konomi. Haha, wow. That turned out to be more than I expected. If I had to pick an overall favorite though, it'd be either Shiho or Megumi. Probably.

....... You, my friend, have fantastic taste. X)!

Welcome!
I agree that episodes 15 and 9 were so funny. Have you seen episode 26?
I like the image in your signature! ^-^
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay!

Q: Do you wish you could play it?
A: Of course! Unfortunately I'm a bit lacking when it comes to moon. By lacking I mean I have absolutely no idea, save certain character's names. :s
I've played both iM@S2 and OFA, and my Japanese when I started wasn't that great; the only character I could properly read when I joined was the character for "no" (I started on Miki's route in 2). I managed to pick up a few more characters along the way, though (though I've also been trying to learn Japanese as a goal itself, so). I managed to enjoy them regardless (though imho, OFA is more foreigner-friendly; higher emphasis on the stage gameplay than on communications).
There's Shiny Festa in English on the iPad, also, if you happen to own one, though it's not cheap (then, though, iM@S merchandise in general isn't)...
In any case, welcome to the forums. Hopefully it's not an entirely unpleasant experience? /not good with greetings

Yes! I completely forgot about that episode though, somehow. It was indeed one of the more enjoyable ones.
I like the image in your signature! ^-^
Haha, me too. I like your avatar! Chihaya is love.

Oh, really? I'd love to play OFA eventually if that's the case. Just gotta be able to afford it first! x) I've heard a lot of people say the anime didn't do the characters justice, so I've been curious as to how they are in the games. All I've really seen is random videos on Youtube and such.
I knew about Shiny Festa, but I don't own an iPad. Even if I did, I don't think I'd be willing to fork over the money they're asking for for something that wasn't a full fledge game like iM@S2 or OFA. Haha, it's true that most things are expensive though! The price we pay...

WATCH XENOGLOSSIA WATCH XENOGLOSSIA WATCH XENOGLOSSIA
Welcome to the forum!
being like Hibiki when it comes to animals, amongst other things!
How many do you have??? :o
Q: Who is your favorite idol?
A: It changes so much... At the moment, either Haruka or Chihaya probably. Though when I first got into iM@S, Makoto was my favorite. Honestly, I've just started getting into Million Live. I have a few idols I like from that. Not sure if I’ll ever get into Cinderella Girls though. Too many idols for me to keep up with… just not my taste.
I understand how you feel! In terms of personality, all the idols are equally likeable to me, so I chose my favourites based upon their singing skills. The same thing for Cinderella Girls. I really like Rin, Kaede, Anzu, Anastasia, Karen, Sae, Minami and Nao!
Anime wise, the only other thing I'm into really at the moment is Girls und Panzer.
It's a good comedy! 8) Who is your favourite character?

WATCH XENOGLOSSIA WATCH XENOGLOSSIA WATCH XENOGLOSSIA
I've tried! I've tried so many times. T_T I just can't watch more than one episode at a time. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough.
You seem to enjoy Xeno though! Haha. Surely I'll finish watching it someday!!
How many do you have??? :o
I don't have many pets anymore since moving in with my boyfriend. He's a constant downer about that sorta thing. xD But in the past, and the future if given the chance, I've had dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, rabbits, hamsters, birds... I hope I'm not missing any, that'd look kinda bad. Haha. Though unfortunately, I'm unable to hold conversations with my pets. Reality sucks like that.
It's a good comedy! 8) Who is your favourite character?
Haha, I'm kinda surprised someone knows of GuP. My favorite character was probably Yukari... as typical of most. If not, I'd be rebellious and say Erika.

Why is it??? :o Atmosphere in Xenoglossia doesn't seem gloomy to me, just a bit sad... How many episodes have you watched so far? If you want, leave your thoughts about it in the "Xenoglossia discussion board, anyone?" topic!

I like Yukari too. ;) But my most favourite character is Maho! Yuka Iguchi voiced Haruka-Master by the way! ;)

Haruka, Yayoi, Azusa, Mirai, Ranko, and of course Leon!
And thank you very much!

I've watched 4 or 5 I think? It's been a little while since the last one I watched. The only thing really is that the characters' personalities are different. It might not be so bad if I just imagine them acting or something like that, haha. I actually enjoy mecha animes.
I like Yukari too. ;) But my most favourite character is Maho! Yuka Iguchi voiced Haruka-Master by the way! ;)
Wow, I didn't even realize. That just kind of blew my mind. Haha! I loved Maho too. She was probably my second favorite. Too bad they never showed much of her.

Q: Why is your username "Takechan"?
A: Just something people called me on another forum prior so it stuck, I suppose.
Take usually means bamboo, but is also used in mushroom names.
Welcome to the forums!
-
Well, that's interesting. Haha. The username I had before was Takeko_K, just based off a favorite character from another anime.
Thanks for the welcome, by the way! ^^
-
Oh hey a newbie for me to welcome! YAAAY.
I now have an excuse to get active again. I love meeting new people. ;D Anyhow, welcome to the forums!
The only thing really is that the characters' personalities are different. It might not be so bad if I just imagine them acting or something like that, haha. I actually enjoy mecha animes.
Don't even consider it iDOLM@STER and that will help, I promise you. After about episode 4, I realized if I kept associating Xenoglossia with iDOLM@STER, I would never be able to enjoy it. So I completely erased all traces of original iM@S from my mind while watching the series and viewed Xenoglossia like it was completely unrelated. And to this day, it's my second favorite anime. Ever. Period.
So. XD
But I can agree the difference in personalities of half the characters is just plain JARRING. Makoto baby where is all your cute? Oh there it is, in the form of a crab obsession. ...You're still perfect.
Anyways, welcome, enjoy your stay, and iDOLM@STER is amazing.
Also Makoto is best idol so early fan you was incredible. Let's be best friends. *shot in the head for being weird* I'm sorry. I'm too friendly. X'D

Only one way to enjoy Xenoglossia is to root for the Master version of your most favourite anim@s character to the very end! I associated XenoMas with anim@s and actually enjoyed it! Right now I can say only one thing: keep watching! 8) 8) 8) 8)

I don't recommend watching Xeno if you a fan of Idolm@ster or mecha anime. Moe-ish fanservice and mecha don't mix (and not to mention, the fights are pretty bland). I hate how the anime treated the characters, especially Chihaya and Yukiho and they never fully explain why Chihaya wants Yukiho to help her in the first place (and let's not forget that she backstabs Yukiho after Yukiho betrays Haurka).

I laughed so hard whenever Ritsuko called Iori Deko-chan. You have no idea. And Yayoi... No words.

Makoto is still very high up there for me. She'll always be my first iM@S love! She's so cute. x)

Honestly, I pretty much agree with you. From reading online on forums and such I can pretty much gather what happens in Xeno. That part in particular about Chihaya and Yukiho bothers me a bit as well.

The fanservice is pretty over-the-top, I can totally agree with you there. I think it's just been ingrained in my mind that I liked the series, but it's definitely one of those shows you either love or hate. Not everyone's cup of tea.
Don't even get me started on betrayals in that show. It rocked me so hard, it's not even OK. I think the whole Chihaya/Yukiho thing was just that Chihaya stumbled upon a lonely Yukiho one day, Yukiho swore to do anything or Chihaya because Chihaya was like her only friend, Chihaya took advantage of that devotion to get Yukiho to do what she wanted.
And all the lesbian subtext. Ugh.
I laughed so hard whenever Ritsuko called Iori Deko-chan. You have no idea. And Yayoi... No words.
That anime made me laugh and cry so much it's like unhealthy, I swear. It moves so slowly in the beginning, though. I think it gets better in the second half, personally. After Makoto becomes less of a b*tch. X'D
Yayoiii.
I use her "Yoyoyoyoyoyoyooo~!" catchphrase all the time.
Makoto is still very high up there for me. She'll always be my first iM@S love! She's so cute. x)
I don't even understand how anyone can not love Makoto.
But that's because I'm a fangirl and she's just so adorable.
My friends tell me we're kinda similar, so maybe that's why I love her so much. :U I'm making up for my low self-esteem.
We even both got trapped in an elevator as children.
BONUS POINTS.
Honestly, I pretty much agree with you. From reading online on forums and such I can pretty much gather what happens in Xeno. That part in particular about Chihaya and Yukiho bothers me a bit as well.
I think the Chihaya/Yukiho bit bothered pretty much everyone.
I honestly have to say my favorite part of Xenoglossia (and one of the biggest reasons I watched the show in the first place) was for character development. At first everyone was pretty one-dimensional, but certain characters really evovled and changed throughout the series, and I just...I dunno. I liked it.
Unfortunately, the characters that really got the most development had all that development crammed into a two episode arc and really didn't get much focus either before or after that. They were just like "Oh, rememebr this guy? Yeah, look, here's a bit of development for him, OK, now you'll like never see him again, byeee~"
And then other characters got no development at all, and it was really annoying. But I still liked it.
...OK let's be honest guys I only watched this for Eri Kitamura as Makoto.
...I made a board for this but no one uses it.
