They're born 2D. Therefore, 2D.

>but in the game, they're 3D

Polygons are included in 2D.

The more controversial question is where dolls fit in... pic related.

>>1534591
>2 Digits = 2D

>>1534598
ill just lea/v/e this here.

Fuck this, Chihaya thread.
And yeah, they're 2D. You can hardly see them on something else than a screen or paper, if you don't count figs in.

>>1534625
>phong shading
I stand corrected, allow me to leave this here instead.

>>1534610
Alright, on that note, the girls are officially 2D. Thanks, anon.
This is now a general Im@s thread.

I wish to make love to Iori.

のヮの

I say this should be a thread for the 961 girls then.

>>1534740
Speaking of which...
How did this make you feel?

>>1534774
Wondering which person messed up. The artist or the person who makes the sizes up.

>>1534774
It makes me feel HAHAHA OH WOW

>>1534797
Rivals for the PSP version.

>>1534783
I'm thinking that 86 might be a typo, and should be 76...
>>1534788
Hmm... のヮの
>>1534795
Rape isn't my sort of thing.

Basic information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idolmaster

2D

3D is pig disgusting.
Are idolmaster girls pig disgusting? Of course not.
Therefore, they're 2D.

>>1534566
depends. if your eyes cross whilst fapping to them, then theyre 3d, else theyre 2d.

They're false 3D

>>1534566
Good question. I guess they are 2D because, ultimately, they are a bunch of 0s and 1s (2 Digits = 2D)

Still 2D.

There's a reason we don't see cel-shading in American games.

>>1534591
OH GOD
9/10

DUE TO LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY ALL IMAGES YOU ARE LOOKING AT ARE 2D

>>1534871
Dammit, I'd watch it, and I did sign up, but for whatever reason, Nico won't log me in.

Also, changing my name to avoid some confusion, since I've seen a tripfag else here using のヮの.

>>1534609

Different techniques were used to create a cartoony effect.

>>1534606
>Polygons are included in 2D.

So shithouse 3d games like Sexy Beach are now classified as 2d? Fuck that.

>>1534598
We already have a Chihaya thread. See >>1532326 .

Even if they are 3D, that doesn't make them any less lovable.

>>1534628
I'm fully aware of that. But the Chihaya flatness needs to spread.

Art style dictates whether it's 2D or 3D.

>>1534598 American
>>1534645 Canadian (AND FRENCH at that)

>>1534598
The reason is that cartoons/animation are considered to be only for comedy in America.

I would make love to any of the Idolmasters. Well, except Ritsuko, she can choke on something and die.

If anyone says they prefer Ritsuko, they're lying

There's an event in Iori's path (IIRC it's one of the later "rank up" events--Rank B-C or thereabouts) where she runs away from home after an argument with her father about whether she should continue being an idol, and if you play your cards right she ends up getting an apartment near the 765 offices (just "for convenience"--she and her father do make up again!)

I'm sure some talented Anonymous (or even namefag) can make some f/jp/nfiction out of this (I shouldn't have to say what kind)

>>1534754
I'm new to the whole im@s thing, who are these girls?

>>1534788
Like Haruka falling in the water? I kept this copypasta.

>>1534788
Well, in her bad end Yayoi is apparently raped...

>>1534795
What.

>>1534795
sauce pls

>>1534797
idols

>>1534797
Rivals

>>1534797
Rival girls from 961 pro that will come in the PSP SP games. Miki dumped 765 after sexing the whole cast multiple times and joined them.

>>1534791
That wasn't copypasta. It was 100% ORIGINAL CONTENT.

>>1534814
Original content becomes copypasta once it's bumped off the board.

Found it: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm114563

>>1534829
It IS a typo, not way her bust is 86.

Miki's bust is 84 btw.

Translating this now, in the meanwhile don't let the thread die...

>I would make love to any of the Idolmasters.

She's ready for you, Anonymous.

Every time I see that face I laugh.

>http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm114563

Iori: Hey Producer, check out that billboard screen. It's playing my music clip.

P: Wow, it is. Once you reach Rank C, your exposure's something else. You're totally a major idol now.

Iori: Heehee, and no one's noticed that I'm walking right here.

Iori: Hey, why don't you try shouting "Look, there's an idol!"

"It'll cause a panic, is that okay?"
"Look, there's a cigarette butt!"
>"I can't do that, it's dangerous."<

P: I can't do that, it's dangerous.

I think she's actually considering it for a moment...

Is it pedo to want her?

>>1536092

If my penis worked I am sure I would feel something.

>>1534766

Isn't it sad that nobody even tries to counter that?

>>1536092
Oh my nutbladder!

>>1536189
You gave me diabeetus.

>>1536305
Yes, welcome to the club!

I prefer Miki

>>1536305
Isn't she 14?

That is the age of consent in a few countries...I think Canada might be one of them.

From Jan 2008,

Selling a cool 100,000 copies of the game is nothing when compared to how well the DLC is selling for the game. THE IDOLM@STER downloadable content is third highest selling in the world. That’s right, a title that is not available outside of Japan, and has only sold 100,000 units has the third highest selling DLC in the world on Xbox Live.

The game has sold three million dollars worth of dowloadable content on the 360. Three million dollars worth is huge when you consider only 100,000 copies of the game have been sold. That is a monumental sell through rate for downloadable content. Free downloads are also flying through the Internet to end users at a 1.2 downloads per user rate. I am completely blown away at these numbers. And it has me wanting to play this game more now, than at any time in the past. Somehow, they perfected a way to put crack in a game package and sell it to people.

>>1536331
why japan onry?

>>1536328
My friend crossed state lines to fuck a 16 year old he met online and oddly enough the state he went to that was legal.

Different places I guess

>>1536328
They recently upped it to 16, and changed the "unless withing four years age" to TWO. Thus, fourteen is only legal if you are twelve-sixteen.

you guys are missing the point.

Whether it's legal or not doesn't matter, you're still a pedo.

>>1536331

From the iDOLM@STER website,
Outfits are 1000 points
Accessories are 500 points.

I can't remember how much B-sides of songs are. 3500 XBOX-JP points cost approx. $60 over at play-asia.

>>1536346

It's region locked to the Japanese XBOX 360 and only available in Japanese. Thus it's considered to be available only in Japan even though online ordering allows you to order just about anything, from anywhere.

>>1536374

Psst. That's because we're preparing an orbital strike.

>>1536376
has namco considered releasing outside of japan? what's the reasoning for not testing the market outside of japan?

>>1536383
UNICEF

>>1536383
Perhaps they think americans will frown upon it, stating it as games only pedophiles would play.

>>1536379
Place the beacon

>>1536379
Don't try to pretend there's more than one of you Ritsuko fans.

Border of roneriness

>>1536394
oh right. they love violence and hate sex. more war games for the xbox for NA release i suppose.

>>1536383

The game's producer, apparently, is interested in an international release. I'm not holding my breath though. Remember the major Japanese press conference about the Sakura Taisen World Project? You said there would Hanagumi SEGA! You said there would be Hanagumi!

let's say the game actually gets released internationally. how many of you would actually go to a store and buy it in person?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Z9g8mLhcU brb fapping

>>1536455
You're being overdramatic and I still want to see pics of people playing the original game in an Arcade.

>>1536455
I'd buy it the same day it came out.

Some things are more important than my human dignity, dammit.

>>1536455
If I still had an Xbox 360 and I didn't already order 99% of my games online I would.

>>1536455

Why would anybody here buy it in a store? It would be pre-ordered online as soon as it was available, with quick shipping. No need to hunt down a copy on the day of release and no sales tax.

>>1536495
I always pre-order games from a store, that way it will definitely be there and I don't have to wait for shipping.

Maybe we can hope for a PSP translation one day in the next twenty years.
And yeah, threadbamp.

>>1536481
It's originally an arcade game? Where can I find one of those?

There are arcade pictures at http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/01/the_idolmster_m.html
(sage for sucking blog). No idea where to get any of those though.

>>1536989
In an arcade?

Although none of the arcades I went to when I was in Tokyo recently had it, to my knowledge. Granted, I only looked in like 1 arcade in Akihabara and like 3 in shinjuku.

http://www.insertcredit.com/reviews/idolmaster/

Better site with more hilarious review.

A released idolmaster is an Azusa-only idolmaster.
Tempting, but I'll pass.

>>1536455
The look on her face is really fucking creepy

>>1536989

No idea where you would buy a cabinet. The arcade game is networked nationwide, your idol would audition against other player's idols, not the computer. The game saved your idol(s) data to a personal card, thus you could continue to build up your idol(s) at any iDOLM@STER location. Apparently, there is iDOLM@STER TV at select locations. It displays nationwide idol rankings along with video of that day's best performances. The game has a touch screen, interact with your idol via touch!

>>1537015
Dear god I'm fapping just to the thought of this existing. This may be the first time ever I've actually wanted to live in Japan . . . kinda

>>1537011

>There's also an optional system whereby you can give NAMCO your keitai address, and your idol can send you little e-mails. I didn't test it. You've got to draw the line somewhere on this stuff.

No. No you don't! ;_;

Oh dear

>>1537194
Goddamn, thank you.

I don't understand it. How the fuck can you self-insert into a character THAT HAS NO FUCKING EYES.

Last time I checked, I have eyes. I assume you have eyes as well considering you're looking at the fucking picture.

>>1537224
I think it's fairly obvious that the idea is to avoid giving the character a specific "face," so that you can think of him as yourself rather than a character.

The fact that he always has blue hair is the part that confuses me.

>>1537224

because same gender as myself

>>1537228
I just don't understand it. The fact he has no fucking face is too jarring and absurd for me. It's easier to imagine myself as another character when they have an actual face.

>>1537241

Easy as hell when you've been fapping to anime for decades

>>1537194
その目だらの目

>>1537241
doesn't really matter, as anime characters have absurd eyes and other facial features anyways

>>1537288
I have been watching anime and empathizing with h-manga girls for long enough that I am more jarred by the way my real face looks when I see it in the mirror.

>>1537288
Disproportionate is less absurd than complete absence.

>>1537288
2D > 3D

They're not 3d, as they're showed on a flat surface.
