The legions of Harustein cannot be underestimated.

Sakura is always there though. She was my first introduction to CLAMP, and from that spawned an obsession with all their other works. Which set me up to job advance as master otaku.

I'm sure that's the same for many. We will always remember the first time...

WAT!?(o_O)

Whose to say Haruka is the "main" heroine? Aren't all the 765pro idols the main characters in their individual way?

True, back when I was still a child living in Japan I just pretended that I was being forced to watch it with my sister when I was actually enjoying it myself. LOL, I can admit that now as a grown adult otaku.

I think Haruka is the most main character-ish of the idols. She's usually either shown first, in the center of a group shot, or leading everyone else.

Haruka is the equalizer, but I don't think she holds any such importance over the rest of the idols. I'm actually quite surprised someone like Miki or Chihaya didn't win; the popularity I've seen around during the series conflicts with these results. Then again, this is Japan and I've seen a more universal popularity myself.

Japan seems to vote in a lot of tragic characters I find too- a better emotional connection perhaps? I mean, Akazawa Izumi from Another was voted in "most tragic" character followed by characters from Sword Art Online like Lizbeth, and those characters were never really developed at all. Quod erat demonstrandum.

I think the iM@S fans got together and decided to focus on Haruka for this competition (its a tactic that some fanclubs use to boost their favored idol singer who is part of a larger group on the popularity charts).

They will then rotate idols such that everyone gets Top Idol at least once.

[/I].

Haruka holds a greater importance than the rest of the idols as she stands out the most and is the center of attention. but that's just my opinion for the most part.

Well Haruka represents the whole franchise itself, and nobody else can fill that role other than her. There may not be a true heroine in the series, but Haruka is the representative of the whole.

*Watches episode six*

Yukipo is so cute...

(Should this thread be moved to the current series board, now that Puchimas! is on?)

chaos_animagic · 2013-01-07, 17:42

I want a Yukipo NOW!

I donno... many series's sequels tends to stay in their original Threads...
Some at times gets their own threads tho... so I donno... PUCHIMAS!

Master_Yoma · 2013-01-07, 23:01

How many Puchimas episodes they put out a week

shinku no kage · 2013-01-08, 01:46

*mumble*mumble*...why is Haruka the "face" of iM@S? In overall popularity Yayoi is usually #1...(in my mind)*mumble*mumble*

I doubt that this thread would move to the "Current" series let alone Puchim@su getting it's own. It's up to us to discuss Puchim@su in here. Personally I wished that this thread had sub-sections so that we could've had character discussion threads+polls.

But oh well...*shrugs*

@Master Yoma: Five eps a week, Mon~Fri.

...and, WHY-OH-WHY AM I ALLERGIC TO CATS!!!?

Nerroth · 2013-01-08, 23:21

The main lesson from Puchimas! episode seven?

Spoiler for ep 7:

Dextro · 2013-01-09, 14:51

Episode 8 of Puchimas is out. Poor Kotori-san, she just couldn't take the cuteness and honestly I'm not sure if I can do it myself.

Azuma Denton · 2013-01-09, 21:28

CHIHYA !!!!
Arrrggghhh....

I guess we need another 2 weeks for Haruka~san...

garbage · 2013-01-09, 23:22

Chihaya + Chibi-Chihaya is just so mind blowing,

I understand completely Kotori san...

on the poll : well even though Haruka is my favorite in the Im@s group (+ Chihaya) that still surprised/shocked me when i first saw it. Not only#1 but with that margin(44%) wow. the only reason I can think of is the extreme popularity of the Game side of the franchise (which kind of slightly invalidates the poll since it should be anime only), don't now much about it though since I'm an anime only for this show. Not surprised with Sakura though, she IS the poster-child and beginning of MOE.

Mura · 2013-01-10, 12:28

Funi is gonna start steaming Puchimas.

Nerroth · 2013-01-10, 13:32

Here's hoping the streams work in Canada.

(Usually Funi's series do, but some of the Robotics; Notes episodes seemed to have been hosted on Hulu, which made them unavailable in this country.)

EDIT: Funi's page is up; no episodes posted yet.
