I'd fuck Chihaya

Reported for misuse of the spoiler function.

I think it produces some of the best porn since Touhou.

Liking the game before the anime and translation does not make one a hipster.

And not just because idolmaster already had 2 anime before.

Hah? Idol@masurz? Why the fuck should i watch that? I might as well turn tv on, put some cheap American reality show coming where camera crew follow some pop singer's life while paging through some doujin made by some 16 year old horny Japanese from Akihabara. No thanks. I'd rather stick to my shoujo manga.

I guess I was slightly annoyed by all the people basing their whole opinions on some characters from the anime alone. "Secondary fans", if you will.
Other than that, why would my opinion on the franchise itself change? Stop believing everything trolls say about suddenly hating something when it's translated

アイドルマスター2 - ジュピター Do-Dai

>male idols
worst idea ever

I'm upset the trap is not in OPs group picture.
Only worthwhile idol

I like some of the music. I can't comment on the anime since I haven't watched it yet

>>8511109

>>8511118
who's the faget, gay idol lover

>>8511109

Awesome opinion.

>>8511115
Why is the trap a trap anyway? Jupiter has a singer that looks just like a girl and it's fine. I want produce that guy, the Trap, and Makoto in a group.

>>8511130
That's sick

Not him but I don't see what's gay about being a male idol and banging other idols.

I want to facefuck Makoto~

Expensive as fuck.
You see that song? Look at how much that cost?
Now look at the cloth? See that price?
If I could, I want my cash back. It is not in my principle to support these kind of business practice.

So making shit tons of money, getting invited as VIP to public events, having thousands of female fans get wet, dating model tier idols. all totally gay. Makes a lot of sense.

Stop replying to shitposter, please.

>>8511176
sounds familiar!

Since played Cinderella Girls, I'm finding it harder to care about the main idols from the series now.

fucking duplicate file entry

>>8511194

Just wait until they're released as DLC.

I've liked it since a couple of years ago (got into it after playing so many Im@s songs on Taiko no Tatsujin), and payed Missing Moon in moonrunes (thanks to a walkthrough and understanding of kana, I also understand some phrases that I usually hear in anime, wich was kind of useful).

Ricchan is my favorite, and I also like Chihaya.

Mobage threads should be on /jp/ not /a/
Y/N?

I liked the anime but I can't comment on the games since I don't have any console to play them.

>>8511158
Wait, do you pay for these for real? Like in TF2 and shit?

Yes.
To put into perspective, just look at the price of an Imas CD with 17tracks.

And think about this, they are charging for clothes?
We arent even talking about cash shop MMO here, they are literally charging people for an offline game.
It must be a status symbol in Japan to produce and upload a song with rare and expensive clothing.

>>8511246
The worst thing about it is that they're doing it because they know they can.

Hell I am actually angry because I can't buy the game with America dollars and then use my 'merrikabux on buying my favorite songs.

>>8511257

Bringing im@s to America would kill it. The whole series is funded by DLC, and they'd never get away with charging those DLC prices outside of Japan.

>>8511262
>they'd never get away with charging those DLC prices outside of Japan.

You know I wish I could say that, but thinking about Cosmic Break, Nexon games, and Steam, if they got a fan base, they could and would. Hell they could make a preorder bundle that cost the same as the game and people would buy it, game consumers are so stupid nowadays.

>>8511262
The same reason why they are not bringing eroge to the west. They cant charge the same price as they doing now to the nips.

Never played the games.
Dropped the anime couple episodes in, for two reasons - first, when it was airing, I only watched the very beginning on the first episode, and was expecting something that's actually as good as it was.
Second, it felt awfully misogynistic. Even more so than the usual otaku fare. I don't know whether it's because of the inherent misogyny in the idol industry, is anime's fault, or was it there in the games too, but it pissed me off.

I'll probably finish it one day because a good portion of the girls are cute.

>>8511395
How is it mysogynistic?

>>8511395

lame kopipe is lame

>>8511395

It may be worth watching on a little, a lot of people are saying the first episodes are a bit shitty, especially if you are new to the franchise

>>8511399

>How is it mysogynistic?

✔ Perpetuates the unrealistic/outdated concept of chastity
✔ Producer and President are presented as father figures which promotes the obsolete social structure of patriarchy
✔ Perpetuates the myth that mature women are undesirable
✔ Sexually objectifying women
✔ Many Idols wear dresses/skirts which perpetuates the sexist social construct that genders are supposed to dress a certain way
✔ Exploiting girls who are too young to know what they're doing

btw there's only one y in misogynistic, dumb fuck.

>>8511472
You are trying too hard.

Tell me, was Princess Maker series also mysogynistic? It has a father figure and you get your adopted daughter to study and do chores.

>>8511472
Preach it sister, let's tear down the oppressive patriarchy keeping us women down.

>>8511472
>Perpetuates the unrealistic/outdated concept of chastity

The funniest part is that there are people that actually believe this.

>>8511472

There are advantages to being a woman that every feminazi seems to forget. Possibly because they're all landwhales that may as well be gender-neutral. Women have benefited far more from sexism over the ages than men have. I bet you can't prove me wrong.

>>8511490
I somewhat agree on this. Even though men have lost their motivation in these last years, if you remove any and all benefits, kill chivalry, make men uninterested in women beyond reproduction, women are SCREWED. And not in a good way.

>>8511035
> What does /jp/ think of idolm@ster?

All my wallet Bannam, all my wallet...

>>8511504
Western ideology for women is already killing off Japanese birthrates faster than any form of radiation. I wonder if there would be an entire collapse of birthrate if they suddenly implemented similar policies in the more hardline Middle Eastern countries

>>8511395
Haha, oh wow.

Look at how /jp/ has fallen. Posters complaining about misogyny.

Isn't he just a troll?
"How /jp/ has fallen" indeed

I wish I could play all the games in English (Perfect Sun is not enough).

>>8511541

Do you really want idolmaster localised?

>>8511211
Don't you need a cell phone to play it?

>>8511701
You can use Chrome or Safari to play it.

>>8511478

Any man having authority over a girl doesn't sit right with me.

>>8511490

>Women have benefited far more from sexism over the ages than men have.

Yes, women benefited greatly from not being allowed to divorce abusive husbands and being punished with death or torture for not dressing a certain way or falling in love out of marriage. I'm sure you think Blacks were better off under slavery.

>>8511519

My god you're so stupid it hurts. Low Japanese birthrate is attributed to their xenophobic anti-immigration policies and the degeneration of the average young Japanese male. None of the subhumans who occupy himself with titles like the one in OP is dating material.

On a somewhat unrelated note that I can't find an appropriate place to ask, how is Dream C Club?

More specifically, how do the character interactions hold up against outstanding slice of life galge and eroge like Oretsuba, Parfait, and so on? Do the mini-games get in the way of the dialogue? I can't seem to trust Japnese reviewers on this one.

>>8511769
>Yes, women benefited greatly from not being allowed to divorce abusive husbands and being punished with death or torture for not dressing a certain way or falling in love out of marriage. I'm sure you think Blacks were better off under slavery

You're missing the point. Do you really think women have got nothing out of sexism? I never said there weren't negatives.

>>8511894
Well, you do always get something out of anything.

>>8511035
Most of the /jp/ im@s friendly residents already moved to /a/. Who do you think hyped that shit when people on /a/ had no idea the anime was gonna air?

>>8511944

What makes you think that? People have overlapping interests, and it's highly likely that people who frequented /a/ to begin with were the cause of the hyping or whatever.

>>8511769
>Yes, women benefited greatly from not being allowed to divorce abusive husbands and being punished with death or torture for not dressing a certain way or falling in love out of marriage.

/jp/ - Historical Revisionism/General

>women managed to live some sort of life even in the face of sexism so clearly it was a benefit

>slaves managed to live some sort of life even in the face of slavery so clearly it was a benefit

In other words we should make women into slaves.

They'll be really happy

>>8512508

Yes, we get it. Saying that there's any advantage to being a woman pre-feminism (probably post-feminism too) is like saying niggers should never have been freed. Argument won, my chauvinist misogynistic ways will cease from this point onwards. I'll even stop fapping to mindbreak.

>>8511769
I know it's troll, but are you implying that a father should not have any authority over their daughter, and that he should be a cowering spineless bitch to his wife? Or are you implying that all families should only consist of two women and whatever children they have, and making men have no power?

>>8511035
Well let's see. I've owned a Japanese Xbox 360 and the original Idolmaster and Live for You for about 3 years now. I was a bit late to the party. My favorite idols are the twins. I have never played Idolmaster 2.

I'm disappointed with idolmaster 2 because the music, which was amazing was the biggest selling point turned to mostly crap in idolmaster 2 (dressing up cute girls is also very nice but there are many games with that option). There's maybe 2 decent songs in im@s 2 all the greatest songs are imports from Live for You (except LOBM which came from the PSP version and didn't make it to Live for You).

So, how do I feel about im@s now? Disappointed, though about 4 weeks ago when my computer died I played a ton of im@s and won with Iori's best, Makoto's normal, and Haruka's normal ends. Currently producing Yukiho and Azusa duo, Haruka solo, and Yayoi and the twins but I haven't played in a couple weeks.

Maybe I'll get back to it later soon, dunno. Though I may just sink another $50 into Live for You, there's still plenty I don't own and goddamn it I lost my top 100 score on Watashi wa Idol ...

Is there a reason for the spoilers, OP? Fuck off back to /a/.

>>8511395
Here.
>>8511472
Is not me, it's just a troll(though I wouldn't really call something that obvious trolling, it's just a joke)

The show generally seems to present women as stupid, weak, inferior to men, and only good for their sex appeal(moe, cuteness, etc). Distinctively from other similar media, it's not only the viewer who judges the characters on their attractiveness - that's also their only worth in-universe. It also perpetuates and enforces the tired stereotypes of attractiveness as a means of making the girls who fall outside of them seem more vulnerable.

Basically, what I'm saying is, Ritsuko should've been a competent producer and there's no need for that bespectacled faggot.

>>8512581

How far have you watched? I really didn't get any of that. The whole 'being judged by their cuteness' thing isn't really present at all and Ritsuko isn't depicted as hopeless either.

I get that the whole idea of an idol is probably inherently sexist, but I really don't think that should stop you from watching what's a pretty decent series that doesn't really have any of the undertones you're accusing it of having

>>8511472

Pay back for all your sexist Romantic Comedies,Lifetime original movies and ABC original movies.

Missing Moon in english when?

As in, I'd like to know if it's actually still being worked on and if there's an estimated ETA?

>>8512690
I popped over to /a/ and they've managed to actually insert what little work the tlwiki project had achieved, which is a big step towards translating as the person on /jp/ who originally translated SP didn't work on the others because he couldn't get the dev versions.

I think someone was possibly going to work on them, if not then they've at least opened the way for someone to do so.

>>8512712
I see. Well, that's definitely better than "not being worked on, never will be".
Guess I'll just patiently wait for my Chihaya route.
Thanks for the info.

I liked it before the anime aired, and I still like it now.

It is a bit strange, however, seeing so many people talk about and frankly admit their love for the same characters that seemed known to only a small number of people in the West until only a little while ago. I remember in the year of the split, creating a thread on /jp/ (because /a/ wouldn't have cared) for Haruka's birthday and getting almost no replies. I wonder how things will be this time around.

I sort of want to see how Xenoglossia was now. Was Chihaya still a sad sack of shit in that version? Was Yukiho scared of her robot? Was Yayoi like "cast in the name of P, ye not guilty; Big Uu, high touchi!"?

>>8513074
>>>/a/

God damnit. All of you take your discussion of the anime series to /a/.

Some people here are trying too hard

>>8513074
>>>/a/
They love the anime, also seeing what this anon >>8512712 say, it seems they do some good work.

>>8513089
Go back to /a/ with that mindset.

>>8513074
Pretty sure Yukiho was a traitorous bitch and Chihaya had bigger boobs than Azusa

I really like the twins and the one with suffering.

Rest of them are boring, just like the games.

>>8513088
They've also been translating the manga as well.

>>8513131
>Chihaya had bigger boobs than Azusa

That's messed up. Other than a few borrowed names, why reason did they have for calling it Idolmaster Xenoglossia?

im@s music > 2hu music

I hope you aren't expecting people to take you seriously?

>>8514788

Somewhat true.

>Chihaya had bigger boobs than Azusa
more of every female character had the exact same well-proportioned body with a different hair-do.

I just love Iori.
I know nothing about Idolmaster, though.
