Singing idols and a giant mech........wow! :twitch:

I am really curious of what the story is about.

OMG Teh IDOLM@STOR. This is the one, the one with the invasive cell phone messages from the girls in the game sent via some wireless device connected to the game that tells you to come visit them (play more). Brilliant!

Sunrise took an arcade-based idol growth project game and turned it into a mecha anime.

*sniff sniff* Why do I smell something called 'doomed for failure'?

Trying to keep a open mind on this, but I honestly can't see how it will work out.

If I do watch this, it will be out of morbid curiosity.

The official site has been updated with new top image and mecha designs. New character profiles has been added also.

The iDOLM@STER XENOGLOSSIA

THE iDOLM@STER XENOGLOSSIA (アイドルマスターXENOGLOSSIA)
Production: Sunrise
Director: Nagai Tatsuyuki (Honey & Clover II (director), Mai-Otome (storyboard))
Script: Hanada Jukki (Rozen Maiden series)
Animation character designs: Takeuchi Hiroshi (Shutsugeki! Machine Robo Rescue)
Mechanical designs (iDol): Akutsu Junichi (Mai-Hime, Mai-Otome, Code Geass)
Set designs: Aoki Tomoyuki (Mai-Otome, Burst Angel)

The anime is going to feature many of the Sunrise staff responsible for Mai-HiME and Mai-Otome. Looking at Sunrise's official site & promotional pictures for this series, it seems that XENOGLOSSIA is going to be a combination of mecha and teenage girls? This is something pretty unique - I think I'm pretty much looking forward to this! ^_^

Oh the First Visual :)
Not bad :)

Hum Puchy :o
i'm hungry now... (Please Teacher?)

Here's a video of the game itself.

*Warning: Excessive cuteness inside*

It's a giant Project
Project Im@s
Just like
Mai Project for (Mai HIME/Otome)

...You know, just the other day, I was remarking to a friend as to how IdolM@ster, being the Idol-raising sim it is, could possibly find a market in the US, and he said:

"Just put giant robots. All American Anime Otaku like Giant Robots."

........*

Shit, Sunrise must have Splinter Cell-ish spies sneaking up on me on every corner...

I think it's interesting that these girls, no matter what pic they're in, have no cleavage. Even Azusa(the oldest, blue hair one), in that bikini has no well defined cleavage.

All you get's alittle shadow or the absolute minimum to keep the sense of realism. There should have been alottttt of cleavage in the video 'relation', but there was none.

Someone have the name of All Seiyuu please? :)
It's interested me :)

As far as i know, the anime seiyuu cast isn't announced yet.

The game cast are the following:
Amami Haruka - Nakamura Eriko
Kisaragi Chihaya - Imai Asami
Hagiwara Yukiho - Ochiai Yurika (Keiko in Uta~Kata, Konomi in To Heart 2)
Takatsuki Yayoi - Nigo Mayako
Akidzuki Ritsuko - Wakabayashi Naomi (Sheska in Fullmetal Alchemist)
Miura Azusa - Takahashi Chiaki (Mitsuki in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Takako in Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru)
Minase Iori - Kugimiya Rie (too many past roles to list here ;) )
Kikuchi Makoto - Hirata Hiromi (Maggie in R.O.D. the TV)
Futami Ami & Futami Mami - Shimoda Asami
Hoshii Miki - Hasegawa Akiko

Do not forget! → Keeping the same cast from the game to the anime is highly unlikely.

Oh good Update :D
And Thanks paTKany for Seiyuu and Scans ^^

Akutsu Junichi's mecha designs look kind of interesting, especially the mean looking Nubilum. I'm kind of curious about those torso and pelvic orb whatsits. The units all seem to be named after meteorological phenomenon: Nubilum = clouds, Nebula = mist, Imber = rain.

For some reason I think this could work, although I'm not a 100% sold on the character designs. Sunrise is on a roll at the moment so if anyone could make this work it's them. Maybe they'll release a trailer soon ...
