Let's not start discussing spoilers to an unrelated anime, no matter how popular, now.

Hmmm, that's actually a really nice rendition of Ritsuko's old hair style. I still prefer her current look better though.

And I'm so glad I pre-ordered as many Hibiki things as I could afford, and I got my Hibiki medal keychain a few days ago, I never leave home without it~

Spoiler for Hibiki medal keychain, big image...:

Good God, I approve.

It's something about NicoNico advertising revenues being crazy for their Idolm@ster streams.

Theorization
-Azusa ends up indisposed for some reason
-Iori and Mami find themselves without a partner
-Decide to force Ritsuko to be their replacement

MrTerrorist · 2011-11-01, 22:50

And Ritsuko is back in the game!

That is Ami, not Mami.

Shadow5YA · 2011-11-02, 07:43

Huh... I wonder what's up with Azusa. She's usually happy in her own world.

Roger Rambo · 2011-11-02, 07:43

Derp.

Thou art correct.

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

Xenoglossia's been holding off on its Makoto focus, while this week's iM@S was Makoto heavy. I suppose I can save that for a later date. Xenoglossia instead offers up some comparison points on Yukiho and the nature of the rivals in both versions. Triabeater looks to have some of its lower-level employees actively against whatever it is their parent company is planning, while the members of 961 are largely unaware of what Kuroi is doing. Both of them are underhanded, but it's a different kind of underhandedness that goes (under)hand in hand with their respective settings.

I've been saying for this whole duration that a lot of what makes the girls in the two shows similar yet different is their circumstances. Yukiho in Xenoglossia is just as shy as her iM@S self was early on, but while her iM@S self has gained some confidence from increased popularity, her Xenoglossia self has been stuck being the middleman for some time now. It finally culminated in her doing something in episode 17. One imagines if she had gotten a job as an iDOL Master, she might have ended up more like her iM@S self.

On a final note, there once again seems to be a disconnect between how the two Yukihos react in certain situations. iM@S's is a bundle of energy around the girls (Makoto especially), but retreats into her shell when she's around anyone else. Xenoglossia's Yukiho was pretty open around Hibiki Saku, or least making some cheery polite conversation, while around everyone else she's stoic to the point where she's nearly as bad as her other self. It's a different kind of shyness, but both of them express some issues just beneath the surface.

Coincidence or foreshadowing

The clip is from Ryuuguu Komachi's new song (Nanairo Botan) btw.

65,000 copies? AWESOME!!!

blakstealth · 2011-11-02, 19:52

6.5 million? That's crazy. Not surprised, but still crazy!

edit: lol wait, it's like 65,000.

Flower · 2011-11-02, 21:39

Just saw ep 17 ... it's nice to see an ep focus on Makoto for a change. She really is a sweet ... erm ... "normal" girl I guess, and this ep shows part of that. Excellent. 8/10 vote from me. Must admit I kinda giggled at Makoto embracing her inner "princehood" to try and save the HS girls.

Wish they had done Hibiki equal justice in presentation but there's not helping it, I guess....

YESSS, TAKANE EPISODE NEXT! (and more Jupiter >.>)

RainbowMagnet Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011	Spoiler for Episode 18: Uhmm that was an ok episode. Ritsuko's not really my fav, so others will probably enjoy it more. Nothing outstanding even though there was a small concert scene. We got to see a bit of Nanairo Botan animated, they did NOT use it at the concert scene though. Instead we got Ippai Ippai animated. Now about the quality of this episode, there were some derpy faces during some of the talking scenes. So we basically had 18 minutes of okay-ish animation and about 4 minutes of awesome dancing animation. Oh and Ritsuko looks 10x better with her hair down. YESSS, TAKANE EPISODE NEXT!

Midonin Last Engage Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Florida	Spoiler for iM@S 18 - Ritsukomachi: I like what this episode does. Ever since Ryuuguu Komachi was formed, they've been having their own stories on the sidelines that we've only occasionally slotted into. Now, that all changes. Having RK be the focus of the show for an episode was a nice change of pace. A bit sad Azusa had to be taken out. She's the balancing force of the trio, the big sister that stands out compared to the two kids in the group. I'll let my lack of subtlety speak for itself. That said, seeing Ritsuko get to show off her idol skills and return to the fore was pretty fun. (Her voice is still distracting me for reasons completely unrelated to this show.) Even if she's spent most of the show as a desk jockey, it looks like her talent for talent never really faded. I love these idol-specific credits packages. They paint a pretty good picture of their respective character in 90 seconds.
