It's crazy, the fans would get mad, there is no way they would do it. Just when you think that, they do it. That is BandaiNamco.

Well, the show's really a love letter to the game's ardent fans, and at the same time tries to introduce to non-players the world of 765 and its energetic, individualistic would-be divas. To those Ace Combat 6 players (I'm one of them, although I never got to play on Xbox Live) who were curious about the rather cute paint schemes on the DLC planes, this show's also a rich opportunity to get to know those girls.
About Episode 2... well, the younger girls try to outdo one of their older "sisters" but only after they realize their mistake do they finally understood about bringing out their true selves without having to resort to gimmickry; trying to be an expert superstar demands much learning and experience, and it's more than just fun and games.

Considering they're supposedly ardent, huge fans of the IM@S franchise, the last thing they'd do... is pull a BamCo.

(Slightly offtopic) @blakstealth: Yep. Apart from the cute paint schemes, colored missile contrails, those modified planes also carried wildly differing stats (for example, the Miki Hoshii Su-47 has more ammo, is tops on anything except for defense and stability, and already this type of plane is most often used on Live! as a missile spammer due to QAAM loads).

Wasn't expecting episode 1 to be done in interview format but worked nicely to know right away the motivations of the main cast.
And the surprise reveal of Producer-san at the ending helped a lot too. Those rumors about him being taken out of the anime were proven fake, fortunately. |

You know? That time? When a certain someone makes a cameo? The fans immediately flew into an indignant rage claiming the show is ruin, the end is nigh, and all hope is lost? As the same time running down the street naked while using rat blood as tribal body paint? Yeah... I'm getting that same crazy vibe here from the fanboys...

[damagecontrol] Now, before anyone goes to click the [Search] bar... I said often. [/damagecontrol] But really... with the matter of the Producer, it's impossible to satisfy everyone. People will call foul in introducing a male producer to begin with, just because... male producer in a flock of beautiful idols. Nevermind what kind of role he plays. If he's too assertive, alpha and 'character-rich' , fans would complain that he's consuming the presence in a show about the girls. f he's a balanced 'there to support the foundation, but nothing else' low-key character like he is two episodes in....he'd be 'so-called' boring and lack character. Some may say a foundation-support character needs to show the savvyness to mold the characters... but he must be realistically driven as well, and cannot afford to be the Mary Sue who knows the solution to all problems. He's a rookie producer, not some super producer brought in. If he's a harem lead loser... IdolM@ster Break's there for you. If the Producer is introduced merely as a first-person POV with no dialogue like ep1... there'd be complaints since then, the story pretty much only appeals to 100% pure adaption die-hards, but sacrifices animation context in the making. As for having no male producer at all... yes, that is a possibility. However, ep1 and 2 asserts enough that part of the character's traits and developmental hurdles... require the presence of a male to help accentuate their growth. Makoto with her desire to be more feminine. Yukiho with her male-phobia. Azusa and her... that person. Maybe more too in other characters we've yet to see. These are traits that are hard to bring out if the series tries to forcefully exclude the P-san factor.

The 2nd half-blabbering of P-san in my post has actually no real correlation with what I replied to you ( the one sentence ), but I thought it gave me a good opening to rant.

As for me, I had hoped they'd continue with the first person silent protagonist idea. It was a fun and original take on anime, but I'm not particularly bothered by the producer as he is. Yeah he's bland and boring, but the show isn't that much about him anyway. It's about the girls. |

I don't have much of an opinion on the Producer yet, though I do think that this is one of those cases where a character being left nameless helps more than it hurts. I watch Idolm@ster for the girls and the songs anyway

Heretical comments, not allowed! Cadian Jet Stream Attaaaack Seconded. It's the best balance to the series, and we have the torrent of girls + the new producer for those who ABSOLUTELY MUST have a guy around.

As for the game... Well, that really is different. Doing a BandaiNamco... is beyond different.

Likewise, having some male supporting characters around isn't going to cause a total disintegration of the Anime. (btw, I wasn't referring to the Producer. I stuck my neck in because I had heard the Boy band had made an appearance, stirring up a blood frenzy.) Quote:
