You bastard, how could you say tha-



Oh wait. Anyways, I think it's too late, regardless. Shall we bury the poor man now, or later?

I did see a release of Puchimas! Petit Idol theme song out.

[MrTerrorist]

Wait. Can this be true?

Is The Idolmaster Going International?

Idolmaster Shiny Festa Trademarks Registered In The U.S. Too

Namco Bandai Registers "Idolm@ster Shiny Festa" Trademark in U.S.
Trademark for PSP rhythm game also registered in Europe

Are you ready? No wait. Are you LADY?

That's old news, that usually means nothing and there is no way in hell that any of the games will be localize. They just want to secure their trademarks names outside of Japan.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for any localization at all.

Last I checked!

Hmm?

What?



Anyhoo, a little more OT, I honestly don't know whether or no to think the puchim@s designs to be odd, cute or offensive somehow. They are just ... weird to me I guess - no less in animated form than when I came across them in the manga.... :\

[shinku no kage]

I say that we should consider ourselves lucky that CR got ahold of the TV series to begin with. If we're lucky we'll eventually see DVD/BD releases...which I'd like to think is quite probable if XENOGLOSSIA is out.

The games? No chance, or rather, do we even want to see an oversea release? C'mon, iM@S dubbed in English? *shudders at the thought* IF by chance some company decides to attempt something like this then I pray that they'll leave the option of switching to the original JP tracks. Let's be realistic, they're not going to just translate the dialogue text and put the game out there with JP voices.

...well, maybe if they did...a trial DL version to see how it fairs??? C'mon, take advantage of the PSN, XboxLive. How 'bout it BandaiNamco?

...now moving on to talking about the upcoming Puchim@su anime.

Personally I find the puchidols to be just ADORABLE. Still waiting on the plush dolls BandaiNamco, GET ON IT. Seriously, that should've been idea #1 for Puchim@su merchandise.

I really enjoy the manga, even pre-ordered vol.5 with the bonus anime DVD already. I really like the gap between the puchidols' design and the other characters. The other characters are fairly "realistic" (on and off) in the manga, which adds to the comedic effect. The producer's head is a giant "P" and yet...it works.

The character designs of the anime is...questionable, or should I say "too cute"(?) in my opinion. Seriously, the anime looks like a fan made flash animation. Not saying it's bad but it's not exactly what I was expecting either. Ritsuko kicking in P's face(?) isn't as amusing as it is in the manga.

I just deeply shuddered at the possible mispronunciations in an iM@S dub. Deeply, deeply shuddered. In a beautiful world, NISA would just transpose the script to English and offer a choice between the two languages, but BanNam does their own translations, usually with a dub.

Though to be fair, Tales of Vesperia had an alright dub. That is although Rita sounds like she's 21.

Well there was that rare instance with the first .hack series. Bandai actually left the JP voices, those were good times. Then my happiness was taken from me when they released the GU series with dubbed voices. Why cant they all be like NISA and give us the choice? Especially since the media is BD based now, should have more then enough memory to support both tracks.

...Rita...sounds like what-!!? I have never been so glad that I bought the JP version, even at full price, even if it was right before they announced the "THE BEST" version. orz

...and getting back on iM@S, I forgot to mention they announced the third line up the Cinderella Girls CDs.

-Kohinata Miho (Tsuda Minami)
-Tada Riina (Aoki Ruriko) <- not sure if the VA's name is accurate.
-Totoki Airi (Harada Hitomi)
-Kawashima Mizuki (Touyama Nao)
-Honda Mio (Hara Sayuri)

Yeah, she sounds way older. I miss cute but cheeky Rita in the Japanese version; now she's just cheeky.

-Kawashima Mizuki (Touyama Nao)

Oh god, please don't squander this! Touyama Nao for the damn win.

Fate/Extra, a pretty recent game, Aksys just translate the dialogue text and put the game out there with JP voices.

[papermario13689]

Oh, I didn't even comment on the upcoming Puchimas series. It's just me personally, but I'm not a fan of the art style/character designs. The whole thing just feels overly childish at first glance, meaning it'd stick in what I considered the weaker parts of the iDOLM@STER anime itself. I certainly hope I'm proved wrong.

Another sign I didn't particular like was the recent opening song they released. Once again it's just me, but it sounded way too hyper and over-the-top, and it lost my interest as a track quickly. My concern is that as an opening, it would generally describe the atmosphere of the series.

Dunno, can't say anything yet since it's not even released. We'll see.

[blakstealth]

Harada...Hitomi? Harada fuckin Hitomi?! HOLY MOLY

[Azuma Denton]

What?? They even managed to get Nao Toyama into Cinderella Girls??
Wow...

[TheEroKing]
