[KO Traveling Hobo]

So, I've been getting the strangest temptations to watch Idolm@ster these days.

Is this a worthwhile venture or am I setting myself up for pain and suffering?

Just watch out for the rape cam in the first episode. chickdigger hasn't been the same since.

KO Traveling Hobo is in a slice of life josei manga.

This sounds suitably boring.

 

[Crash Station]

So what kinda manga are you in



awww yeah

This isn't the manga thread.

 

[Soma]

Moonspeak is in a harem yuri manga.

Bueno~

 

[Mature]

The full key visual looks even COOLER:

Wow, yeah, neat.

 

[duckroll]

For sakuga fans:

Star Driver The Movie:
Animation Directors: Yoshiyuki Kodaira, Kazumi Inadome
Mecha Animation Director: Shingo Abe

These are the only movie specific staff, the rest of the staff are all the main general staff of the TV series as well.

 

[cajunator]

Cajunator is in a historical shoujo manga.

 

[Canis lupus]

The full key visual looks even COOLER:

It definetly has a great artstyle.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

RyougaSaotome is in a tragedy yaoi manga.

.... ='(

 

[OceanBlue]

OceanBlue is in a harem seinen manga.

Hahaha. That's great.

I hope they don't cut out Sakana-chan too much! Monochrome please! And hopefully it's more like the SnS or the Nanoha movies where trimming the fat definitely made for an interesting movie.

 

[Steroyd]

Steroyd is in a drama shoujo manga.

Awesome now I can personally kill all those stupid shoujo females who are annoyingly retarded.

She's definitely in the movie. I actually hope they have brand new songs for the movie. It would be good for the business end, and it would be good for fans too!

 

[Basileus777]

So Highschool DxD is getting a season 2?

 

[OceanBlue]

So Highschool DxD is getting a season 2?

Well, I guess I should get to starting season 1 eventually.

 

[duckroll]

SAO Ep10 preview is up: http://www.swordart-online.net/story/index10.html

That duel looks like it could be pretty cool!

 

[DarknessTear]

Anyone feel like helping me out by naming all the best shows currently airing this season? All I'm watching as far as new shows goes is... Sword Art Online.

 

[Articalys]

So Highschool DxD is getting a season 2?

Yep. This matches up with this rumor back from late August.

BGBW is in a school life seinen manga.

SOL set in school appealing to the over 20s. Oh great. I'm stuck in average manga.

Azumanga Daioh is awesome brah.

 

[duckroll]

We should be taking bets. Will E7AO Ep23-24 air first, or will the Star Driver movie open first? Lol.

 

[BluWacky]

What kind of shows do you like? Everyone will have different opinions, and it's not worth recommending you certain things if you don't like romantic dramas or comedy shows or whatever.

 

[wonzo]

Natsuyuki Rendezvous
Humanity Has Declined
Joshiraku
Moyashimon Returns (watch the first season)
Binbougami ga!

 

[cajunator]

Dont forget Space Brothers!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Romantic drama - Natsuyuki Rendevous
Musical/slice of life/drama - Tari Tari

Yay....

 

[/XX/]

Sometimes I think I'll not live up to your expectations but your words are encouraging, guys.

/XX/ brought me with him. I blame him for everything.

And that is why you can't leave again. You have to stay here from now on forever and ever and ever and...

i don't get it. Why am I enjoying idolmaster? I feel dirty, musty, idk.

Nah, man. It's cool! You are witnessing what a team compromised with what it does and loving it in the process can do while having fun, even if the content it is based on is a little bit derivative itself, because the simply accessible and defined but at the same time engaging personalities of the characters lend themselves to easily work on any situation the staff can devise, there is the potential to play with that for many stories (like in those movie promos and such that was neat on their part).

You could breath that respect just seeing images of the studio, as Masanori Takahashi showed us:

スタッフのいなくなったがらんとした戦場の跡。関わった全てのスタッフに感謝の気持ちを込めて。 \アイマス最高！！/... on Twitpic
http://twitpic.com/7wslcy

And Mr. Takahashi also commented at other times how GORIPON took care of his comrades... and treated them to quality instant food at times! That is real dedication and love for his peers.

 

[wonzo]

Welcome back /XX/, I missed your posts. :>

Dont forget Space Brothers!

Well, if you're gonna include stuff from past seasons then ya might as well chuck in Polar Bear Cafe, Hyouka, Ginga e Kickoff!! and Poyopoyo!

 

[PdotMichael]

It's time for the Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb PV

http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/hidamari/special/index-j.html#pv

(well, regional locked)

 

[Canis lupus]

K-On!! 25 special episode

Well, that was disappointing.

 

[Kazzy]

So what kinda manga are you in



awww yeah

Watanabe Kazuma is in a Horror shoujo manga.

Well, that was unexpected.

 

[BGBW]

Azumanga Daioh is awesome brah.

Oh great. I'm the lad who appears in that bicycle gag in the first volume and then never heard of again.

 

[PdotMichael]

pdotmichael is in a gender bender yaoi manga.

eh... I'm a girl in an yaoi manga, so no romance for me?

 

[Defuser]

The description on the site sounds like it will be a remake. The blurb calls the movie a "new construction" of the story featuring Takuto, Wako, and Sugata. This is supposed to be a brand new work which presents the characters in a completely new light, and represents the new vision of the Star Driver franchise. Or... something like that. Lol.

So basically, a E7 movie lol.
I thought you hate Star Driver.

Excellent. ANN is only tolerable when they have a good guest on, after all.

I just finished listening to this, some really good stuff, mainly because Helen runs the whole thing.

Agreed on that front, as somewhat of a novice, I'm always looking for entertaining anime podcasts. Apart from having derisive personalties (that's to say I don't like them at all), I never found it particuarly enlightening either.

It was also nice to see someone championing Arrietty, because I really enjoyed it, and continue to be mystified by some of the critcism thrown its way.

Thats fine with me too.

And Yuno... blinked while in wideface mode, what's going on here!?

 

[cajunator]

I think Yuno what it is

 

[Risette]

It's the latest one, that's about all I know. I only bought it because of the art on the box, never played a shmup before.

Should've bought Deathsmiles or Akai Katana.

 

[RurouniZel]

No shame in it. Its a cute fun show.
However Yukiho sucks so just be aware of that.

Yeah, she's always digging herself deeping and deeper throughout the series...

...

*snerk*

 

[Narag]

That reminds me, what happened to all of you guys who were watching Glass Fleet?

I'm still sorta pissed at it because

Yeah that.

 

[Narag]

Disappointed that yet another funimation release is delayed to December (Mass Effect Paragon Lost from Nov to Dec 28) :/

OH OH OH OH!

I wonder if this has anything to do with Production IG being pissed at an unnamed party for not paying up for work done! OOOOOOOH!

Wondered the same after seeing DTL's post.

 

[Basileus777]

Eden of the East 1-7

It was my vague understanding that this show was fairly well-received, but so far it's full of utter nonsense that makes me want to put it in the laughably bad category. Episode 7 and it's

Spoiler

penis Clipper who just needs to be loved by a man

might be too much for me.

 

[Narag]

So what kinda manga are you in

Narag is in a slice of life yuri manga.

I have no place in that
