Welp I guess I'm joining you guys from now. My friend just got me into this thing and now I'm starting to believe I may develop an addiction since it's actually way more fun that I was expecting.

I don't know whether that's a good thing or not..

#TeamMaki for the the ones who care :p

Welcome, brother

Also make sure to watch the ANIME

I don't know, we haven't gotten the second season yet.. I guess they will want to dub everything from now on so it might take a while.

If anyone plans on buying the movie and isn't interested in the code for the lottery for buying tickets for the 6th live, I'll buy it for $20 via paypal

I've read most of the CUT magazine. It's 33 pages about the movie, with solo interviews with each of the members, the letters that have already been posted here, an interview with all 9 of them together and an interview with composer Aki Hata talking about 10 important songs for the franchise (actually 13 because she pairs a few songs together), it's pretty interesting so I might make a post about this part, only the last few songs are spoilers to the movie. We are used to hear about the songs from the seiyuu but I don't remember hearing from the composers before.
But for me my best purchase was that comiket exclusive Emitsun photobook. With her first album coming soon, I can only hope we get a new photobook.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.
Yeah that interview about the 10 important songs for the franchise was the part that I was most interested in. Like you said I don't really remember ever hearing stuff from the compsers before either. I didn't know that there was a comiket exclusive Emitsun photobook. That's really cool that you managed to get that. It's nearly been a year since her first single, and the 1st album is coming out about a year later. That's quite fast isn't it? (To get an album since her debut). Have you been getting any of the more recent issues of Dengeki G's recently due to LL Sunshine? I haven't got any of the recent issues. Though I was thinking of getting the issue the month when Aqours release their debut single.

My 5-voucher "prize" after the five and a half months it took to get to level 100
One of the weakest Smile SRs
Also it's a Honoka Smile SR immediately before an event where the prize is... a Honoka Smile SR

Fuck RNG, fuck gatcha systems
At least I haven't spent a single cent on it and plan to keep it that way
I did end up burning 25 LS though to tier and idolize the ghost Maki SR because the unidolized version looked really stupid

I ran some calculations and in order to tier in every event at the lowest end, you would need to spend somewhere around $25-30 a month, maybe a bit less if you have a really high level... don't want to think about the obsessed who aim for the very top spots (I read an article a while back about the top Clash of Clans player and that lifestyle is insane)

One more thing, some of the story sections that use all 4 parts of the chapter are great; it's a shame they're stuck in this limited visual novel format and aren't getting adapted in OVAs or stuff
 
No info yet, but last year the anime BD for the lottery was released on June 20th and the drawing was on late September. This year things will probably be closer since the concert is still scheduled for winter.

Guess it will be too late to buy it in March then ;P

I'm just going to forget about the movie seeing as it's not coming out here...



OK. Whose balls am I going to have to punch for this decision?
Yeah, that genuinely made me upset, haha.

Oh, you want to play School Idol Festival? Well here's an advertisement for a movie that you can't see because it's not coming to Canada. Enjoy!

;_;

Cool to see that someone is interested in that, I'll try to translate it and post here.
Yeah, Emitsun has been very successful with her solo work. I've started listening to her radio show a while back and it's so good. Same for Ucchi, her second album is just as good as the first, I love it.
No, shipping doubles the price of these magazines and by the time it gets here, the next month's issue is already out, lol. I only buy these when there's a nice bonus.

That's even worse! They're called cinemas and theatre is spelt wrong!

it's not spelled wrong, it's American English spelling. same for theater vs cinema. American usage of "going to the movie theater" which gets abbreviated to simply "going to the movies" or "going to the theater"

I guess Singapore English uses American English spelling/usage for theater =P (even though Wiki says Standard Singapore English retains British English spelling I guess there's exceptions? or KLab Global is just being weird)

Cool, now I just need to find some starter guide.

I hope you can reroll, Anastasia or bust.

Edit: I'm stuck at the Japanese text on the main screen, what do I press!

Yeah, a quick start guide would be nice. I got the email about it so I assume I have to do something with that for the 'pre-order' bonus.

Hmm I didn't get an e-mail yet, I did unsubscribe from their newsletter though, maybe that has something to do with it.

Did everyone else also get a mail?

Edit: Pffft, already looking forward to navigate through all these Japanese sites in order to get my free gems or something.

-----------------------

Wow, I'm really impressed with this game, like, it's awesome so far.

Some small things I noticed, I only played up until the part where I had to enter my name, still waiting for some guide on how to get my free "loveca"

- The Smile/Pure/Cool categories are there

- Idolizing is done by using crafting materials instead of a second copy

- You have five people in a group instead of nine

- There are some new mechanics, they require you to swipe left or right.

- Concerts are animated in 3d, it actually looks really impressive and smooth

- Bonding still exists.

- Character portraits look kinda uncanny

- Everything is fully voiceacted, including getting a new member and bonding conversations.

- There is some sort of Farmville mechanic where you can make your own studio

Maybe everything looks a bit better because it's the tutorial but I'm still impressed, I hope someone delivers soon because I want to play it lol.

Oh, the main theme is cool, it's an instrumental version of OP 1, I really miss it so it was nice that it appeared.

Doesn't seem to be on the ios store (unless I'm searching for it wrong) and I haven't gotten an email about it either. Maybe I screwed up and didn't actually preregister for the game or something, lol
