...that'd be awesome. Seems fairly possible that Iori's family and Tsumugi's family has some kind of relationship/rivalry, speaking business-wise ofcourse.

And a strange thought occured to me earlier. To us Nonowa-san is modeled after Haruka but how does it go in the iM@S world? Is Nonowa-san still based on Haruka or is it just a scary coincidence that Haruka looks like Nonowa-san, an already existing product? And if so, do people look at Haruka and think "Hey, that girl looks like Nonowa-san".

Midonin's The Two iDOLM@STERs Comparison Diary
Week Seven

These shows have had a large gap in tone and content ever since they started, but this week was probably the greatest disconnect I've ever seen. iM@S had one of its lightest and fluffiest episodes, while Xenoglossia was comparatively more somber, having just come off a near-fatal blunder in the heavens with Imber. Yet in themes and the way they concluded their storylines, they were surprisingly similar. Both Ioris, with their usual differences in tone (haughty but understanding/acerbic but dedicated), in spite not being a commoner/iDOL pilot, managed to get someone who had run away to return to the person that cared about them most, whether that's a brother and sister or a girl and her robot/boyfriend. The Yayois in the episodes couldn't be farther apart, but in both cases, it was Iori that helped tie everything together. Maybe the gap wasn't as big as I thought.

It comes from a 2chan Meme.

A few years ago fans made up a doll that's supposed to be Haruka's rude exhibitionist alter ego named Nonowa-san

Here's a few videos of Nonowa-san (It's one of the weirdest memes I've seen so far...though I think I've seen more absurd ones recently:

Watched ep 7 again last night ... and enjoyed it even more the second time! I will raise my vote to 8/10 for this ep. Yayoi is absolutely endearing!

That being said ... erm ... how shall I say this? I think she needs to work more in the singing department of her Idol training. :P

But maybe that is not really fair as thus far I have not liked much of the singing in the show - it is not "bad" per se, just does not seem to be anything "special" appeal wise for my taste.

Here's the original version of Danketsu for everyone. I much prefer this one to the 2010 one- I think they overcomplicated the pure beat this one had.

As much as I hoped K-On would focus more on the music since the songs were well done, the music was never a main focus of the series.

Hence why the prospect of a K-on/Idolm@ster crossover doesn't really enthrall me.

Only downfall is that it doesn't have Hibiki and Takane.

The fucking ultimate.

Spoiler:

Agreed. Though that only applies until they add new characters at some point. Possibly even the idols from 876 Production = Ai and Eri. Possibly even Sakurai Yumeko and even Suzuki Ayane to add. What? Ryo?! WTF are you talking about???

*Sigh* I'd love to see Ai and Eri in either PS3 or Xbox 360 graphic qualtiy. Though I guess I should just be happy that iM@S2 is coming out for the PS3 in about two months...

Really liked this episode. For some reason I've been putting off its viewing but as soon as it started I was hooked (should've taken a bath like an hour ago after telling myself I'll only watch the preview before the OP

). Before this I hadn't thought much of the new trio, favoring characters like Miki or Haruka but I'm all for Ryugu Komachi now.

Right from the start I remember thinking how commendable it was that Yayoi takes care of her family and how nice it was that she liked cooking. I don't know, she just seemed like the type of character I'd like. But over time I'd forgotten about her, until now. Hibiki is just super cute with her slightly aggressive but kind voice color (and Hamzu). And Iori, well, she seemed less like a spoiled child and more like a genuinely kind person in this one. We were getting to know the characters all this time but I felt like this time they really "hit the spot" enough for me to take a liking to certain characters.

When the Producer-san came to help and came up with his brilliant solution to "split up" (which is what they had already been doing) it really cracked me up, way to go

Oh and the visuals were great. Not with perfect animation, but certainly nice to look at. Quite a fun slice-of-life overall.

Interview with Azusa and Makoto's VAs.

Haru~ · 2011-08-25, 12:48

Seriously Im@s must have a lot of budget to spend.
Episode 8 showed a great fight scene from Makoto.
And HNGGGG for Asuza. Damn it even Miki is HNNNNGG.
Asuza chased by all those people, and Miki again did a great job of improvising the photos.
My God I really want my Miki episode now.

But next week seems to feature the twins. Well I like Ami so it's all good.
And oh yeah, producer is useless in this episode.

The Producer has been mostly useless for a while now. I understand the show is about the girls, but he also has to step up if we're to expect 765Pro to become top idols.

Midonin · 2011-08-25, 12:56

It's not like the guy isn't trying. I wonder if the standards are too high sometimes.

Shadow5YA · 2011-08-25, 12:58

Of course he's trying, but there has to be results sometime.

blakstealth · 2011-08-25, 13:45

There's gonna be some gradual progression in Producer's usefulness, don't worry.

I wouldn't want him to be utterly useless in one ep and extremely G-like in the next.

well
its not like I hate that

blakstealth · 2011-08-25, 16:42

omg guys omg omg

If you watch the next episode, you will:

-find your lover
-get rich
-achieve an increase in stock
-thread needles on the first try

This is something NO ONE should ignore!

LoweGear · 2011-08-26, 04:16

Makoto, you're not an idol. You're an ACTION HERO- eeerh heroine, I'm sorry, please don't kick my ass

That ladder fight was quite the awesome scene, but with Agent Yoru Wo Yuku playing? POWER LEVEL OVER 40,000!

*ehem*

But this episode belonged to Azusa though... and whoever said Azusa lost points with short hair, they have better watch this episode ASAP for GREAT AZUSA JUSTICE

Leaving insanity in her wake, one charmed person and non-persons at a time!

Midonin Last Engage Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Florida	Spoiler for iM@S 08 - Modern Fairy Tales Never Had This Many Secret Agents: I really liked this episode. It's just an escalating feel good comedy. Once Azusa accidentally got the wedding ring from... Setsuko Saijou(?), from there it turned into a tale of a kindhearted person touching the lives of every person, artist and animal they meet. Makoto off in the B-plot was getting into awesome fight scenes. And Miki in the C-plot was mostly ignorant of the whole thing, being herself. Yet they all came together perfectly at the end. A long setup to a perfect punchline. Lots of insert songs too. I can't think of any moment that stood out in particular, but the plotting of the whole episode was really well done. Everything twisting tighter until you have an elephant and a giraffe all reacting to Azusa's bounciness. Next week: The twins get some time in the limelight, and, perhaps, realize that they are their own individual persons.
