(L+CR) iDOLM@STER the anime (and spin-offs)

[Shadow5YA]

So I guess 765 Pro is expanding after their initial success with the cast we all know and love?

[MeisterBabylon]

With all those idols all of a sudden, its as if the franchise is an iM@S MMO now.

Season 2 of iM@S will be longer than BLEACH...

[RJ TAYLER]

With 100+ characters {Potentially} Doraemon might be closer to the mark!

I think that was the idea: We can battle in that game remember?

Should we shout when we are about to battle? Maybe something like "iDol FIGHT!" XD

Now, more like "GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!"

Good to hear, I can't wait until I receive my Animation M@ster 5 CD to hear these tracks in it's full quality...

I wonder what tracks 6th Animation M@ster CD will have so it can motivate me to splurge more money on CDs.

[Kamui04]

Besides Animation Master 05, they also released Jibun REST@RT as DLC on PS3 today. Gotta love how most of the choreography in the Anime matches the game one on Ready! and now Jibun REST@RT.

Spoiler for Jibun REST@RT DLC for PS3:

Wow, I found episode 20 very heartwarming, but to continue Chihaya's screentime in her wonderful acapella (sp?) performance in ep 21, I loved every bit of it, and now I've made it my goal to just revel in Chihaya's smile from henceforth. And I'm trying to keep her in my sig

And I have been waiting for Jupiter to finally speak up to the old man, and though I'm not fond of Jupiter, they at least did something, which changes my view just a slight bit ^_^ (as well as the sound fella at the controls, you did the right thing in the end pal )

Here's something that surprised me though: Otonashi all dressed for success and singing. I was not expecting that, although I have to let out a collective "boo" for the group of old friends chatting, drowning out her voice

And finally, when there was that gusty breeze at the end of the ep.............no skirts were flipped. I went

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

Haruka and Chihaya are quite a lot alike. This is why they make an interesting pair, being the main characters of both series. After a traumatic event in either case, Chihaya locks herself away, and becomes the walking mass of self-pity and extraordinary talent. Haruka tries to keep up a strong, cheerful face as well, but in the end of this week's Xenoglossia, when confronted with the loss of Imber (who was more of a love interest(?) than a little brother, but still), she goes and locks herself in her room. An interesting parallel to be drawn there.

On a slightly more positive note, Mami finally has some decent screentime in Xenoglossia. Like her iM@S self, she seems to be the more mature of the two (despite being trapped in Tempestus' somethingorother for seven years), having a somewhat better grasp on the iDOL situation than her sister, but provides a nice foil to her sister either way. The scene where the two of them start humming together was really nice, and helped me to link it back to iM@S. Ami and Mami can be separated by job commitments or years and robots, but when they're together, that bond is unreasable.

[Flower]

Ep 21 was quite enjoyable!

I really liked Chihaya's Sleeping Beauty song ... just plain good and simple material.

8/10 vote from me.

BTW - Otonashi singing was quite a surprise....

[ars89]

Nice job by Chihaya to stick to Kuroi by singing acapella. Glad it worked out afterwards. Finally Jupiter stand up to him. Glad that they quit and then apologized to Producer. Kotori singing was a pleasant surprise.

[RX-78GP04G Gerbera]

Ah, finally subbed, so I could watch it again and know what was actually being said!

Not that the singing alone wasn't enjoyable though. Chihaya and Kotori!

Seeing Kuroi all pissed off at the beginning of the episode is most likely what a bunch of people thought was missing at the end of last episode, but as said, it was nice that it was saved for this time around.

[chikorita157]

I love my turkey that I got stuffed... oh wait... totally forgot about Episode 21.

Spoiler for Episode 21:

Definitely an underrated episode on the Anime Power Rankings for obvious reasons, but definitely a great wrap-up of Chihaya's arc, and yes... I loved it with Episode 20 making everything golden. Her singing of Sleeping Princess (眠り姫/ねむりひめ) was really pretty and of course there's Kotori's singing of Flower (花）which I also liked. Too bad she only got 5 minutes of fame. :/ Also, I liked how they used the instrumental (piano) version of Relations right before Chihaya performed.

As for Project Jupiter, I can't really hate them anymore since they finally called out Kuroi for his dirty tricks and calls it quits. Then again, I can't really blame them for the horrible and dirty things that he done to the girls.

[Hiroi Sekai]

Kuroi got off way too easily. He's just gonna cause more trouble with a new set of pawns, which are available in the world by the thousands.

Still, it's a victory for 765 Pro and it's nice to see Otonashi join them in the celebration that allows her to shine.

Episode 21: Courage, Redemption, Beauty

I feel the same way too, but this is one of those situations where the trials and tribulations actually helped the girls, and they've gotten closer to each other as well as worked out some serious personal issues. A blessing in disguise, so to say. And I'm glad too, because I'd hate it if Chihaya really left for good

But then I'm a little mad Producer has a nice little harem brewing

Hmm? I always thought Mami was supposed to be the more mature one of the twins in canon.

[Miraluka]

Same with me, I think Mami is more mature...
