must check this out
|
This idea of this anime really irks me. I'm open to idol-focused anime at the moment (I plan to watch The Idolm@ster myself), but this anime being an advertisement for a current real life idol group smells like it will be extremely restrictive character-wise and story-wise, much more than K-On and The Idolm@ster could ever be since at least those were based off fictional characters. Here they will have to flatter real idols and make them look good at the expense of character flaws and drama which help drive storytelling. I'm afraid, very afraid.

Why not make an original anime about fictional idols that follow the story examples you gave? I think it could be done, even in an otaku-dominated market. Make the story dramatic, but keep the characters "cute" by giving them popular endearing qualities that otaku buy into, without sacrificing the story and the humanism. |

Yeah, the character designs are pretty terrible. Then again, I didn't like the character designs for Idolm@ster either. |
I'll wait until the PV or first episode airs before make any judgments on the story. I've read the AKB49 manga, and that turned out fairly well.
However, the designs do not look very appealing at all. |
So can someone summarize to me, about what i should know about AKB48? SO if i follow this anime,i won't have to go "wtf are they talking about"
I know that they are an idol group (sing, act, theater performances?) . And having 48 members? I heard that their 48 members changes through the years or something,isn't it? |

Was secretly hoping for an AKB fan to open the proceedings; anyhow as long as the staff have sufficient like/love for the franchise it'll be fine. Quote:

Nonetheless, this feels like a success riding, over-invested business plan. I think I'll check out on them on EH after Fuyucomi this year. |

And before you say it, Yes I followed you into this thread even though me and a few others were discussing this show with Thomas Romain in the Symphogear thread. |
Ok first of all:
http://i43.tinypic.com/qy5xsg.png This image makes the anime look more like an Insterstella 5555 type of project than a k-on type of project :heh: Or will it be post apocalyptic cyberpunk anime? Spoiler for concept art:
More images here: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/photo/2004668/2/ Also the 9 castmembers have been announced Mayu Watanabe (AKB48 Team B) Mao Mita (NMB48 trainee) Haruka Ishida (AKB48 Team B) Sumire Satō (AKB48 Team B) Sawako Hata (SKE48 Team KII) Sayaka Nakaya (AKB48 Team A) Kumi Yagami (SKE48 Team S) Karen Iwata (AKB48 trainee) Amina Satō (AKB48 Team B) I know nothing about them so I'll let more knowledgable people comment on the cast. |

Nakaya Sayaka is the only one in the group with an actual seiyuu background, I believe. Satou Amina is also sort of popular but that's about it, the rest have mostly never been in a senbatsu single. The images leave me speechless. I thought this would be a cutesy Saturday morning show in spite of the Kawamori involvement... :heh: |
There are a few anime series the suddenly pop in my head when I saw the set design: Fractale and iDOLM@STER: Xenoglossia.
|
More Xenoglossia's okay with me.
|
ok, now I got something to look up at for next year.
if this anime does well, will that have any impact at all in new macross? |
Synopsis is revealed!

I can't wait :D *insert obligatory crossdressing joke here* Now if only this were a NoitaminA show I'd be able to enjoy the massive amount of rage that would ensue. |
That synopsis sounds like something I would write. I mean this as the highest of compliments.
|
The synopsis really make me dying... I want some of what they're smoking.
And I must said this again, the chara design is fecking ugly. |
