But before we can go for it, why not kick things off with a Kingdom Hearts collab? After all, Kingdom Hearts, of all things, can be the thing to help more people get hooked on the franchise. Everyone else: NANI?????!!!!!!!
The day finally came. This saga always caught my attention but I never decided when to investigate more about it. man, Kisaragi Chihaya's voice is really good, if it wasn't for the video of that new game where she appears I might never have decided to introduce myself to this vast world. you did a great job with the video bro.
Had a look and yeah... it's another dating sim type game which is why it's in the grave. XD I want my rhythm and stat based gameplay to beat other Producers!
I'm so disappointed that namco keeps this series region locked. I watched the idolmaster anime back in the 2010s and fell in love with the 765 all stars. Watched videos on UA-cam of the idolm@ster 2 and tried learning the dances. I even went out of my way to buy the game from the Japanese psn store, but I would pay twice the amount for a version with English subtitles!
I’ve started off my obsession with Idol culture due to the anime Love Live and I grew to love it so much so I decided to check out the other idol games! Just like this series and I absolutely love it! (I’m a huge fan of the cute type idols because I love pastel colors and pink and generally cute stuff!)
Literally came to this video out of always wondering what Idolm@ster was, didn't expect to see Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World literally 2 seconds in
Gonna have to stop here. This is a rabbit hole that I do not want to get stuck in. I came here from the Mio Honda meme and from that alone I can tell that I might get addicted.
Side M new game is going well. Finally the dev's accepted their biasesness and started from zero for the game! EDIT : NVERFXXXMIND THEY FXX UP AGAIN AHHHHHHHHH
I feel like other place were million live does pretty well is in Characters, the characters are well developed and have pretty good stories and background, like 765 AS tier or even more fleshed out in some aspects and well the colorfulness in designs really depends on the characters,since it's like a 60/40 when it comes to colorfulness since there is characters like tsumugi, kaori, matsuri,tomoka and some more xd, the deep stories are not really unique to shiny colors. Anyways pretty good video.
so yeah i heard idolmaster for the first time in taiko no tatsujin and thinking it would only be xbox exclusive but after 5 years googling about that, i finally downloaded cinderella girls starlight stage 😅
I've always seen some idolmaster stuff at book off and that got me vaguely interested, but now that I picked up a ps3 I was looking for some games and remembered some of those titles so this got me into it, thanks for the guide!
Finally a video I can share to my friends about idolmaster I tried to explain to my friends but meh I suck big time I wanna introduce them idols Edit: I am a fan of the Cinderella Girls franchise
Well, thanks for the info, I see most idolmaster stuff cause I'm an Aimi fan, so part of the franchise for me is a no go right now, cause well you all know....
Nice video for a newcomer or a casual fan like yours truly! In my case I'm a huge fan of Bandai Namco's JRPGs saga the "Tales of" series and those games really like to use costumes, music and some voice talent from Im@s (and also thanks to a close friend IRL who's a Producer with all its letters) I was genuinely interested on the series and it was a matter of time before I fell in love with my dear 765-Pro girls with Miki-Miki as my favorite! Hahaha... (nice reference to Tales of Symphonia in the beginning of the video BTW)
SideM is the only franchise I'm familiar with but I lost track after the anime ended and the 1st game was discontinued. Will try out the new one soon,, I prefer to watch anime as an entry to the franchise and will probably go with Cinderella Girls first then revisit the OG 765. I've seen a Vtuber play the Shiny Colors game and it looks kinda confusing for me but I'm sure it has great content. The Anniversary song with each rep from the franchise was really special~
A beginner's guide to the different IDOLM@STER Franchises For Dummies Have you ever had a problem when you start watching a series because it's too long or too complex? Cases like One Piece or Fate series are common (And Lovely Idol it is the anime series must be crying in the grave right now. But for those who are curious Lovely Idol’s game got released around a month before Idolm@ster arcade), so we made this video to help you.
Luckily when i played million live, i was not overwhelmed with the 52 characters, and all characters are just really likeable tho quite thirsty to p-kun 😆
i am currently only familiar with cinderella girls and i think it may be the one i stick with. i am the type that gets into things if i think the characters are charming and i cannot find any other branch’s characters charming enough, plus with imascg the way that i consume the media is the rhythm game, character art, and the music.
For me since i'm not really a gamer and mainly enjoys music more, i just listen to all the songs available (and i'm still not even close to done yet; chasing musics is actually very exhausting too) and then decide which songs captivates me the most Oh and also fanarts or doujins or cosplayers from twitter on any im@s characters; but these are secondary
Fact: Miura was fan of Chihaya Kisaragi since 1st vision (2008) and she has very emotional with her family. Part of Chihaya story was adapted in the anime The Idolmaster (2011)
I dunno about you guys, but, are you guys also extremely efficient with fighter jets with an idolm@ster themes paintjob, i was one and i am interested with the whole series
nice video but I’m having a problem with idolm@ster so i just download the game and it’s says my WiFi is sucks but i don’t think so cuz my friend had the same problem what should i do
Wow, excellent and very informative video. I'll be sure to pass it on. What's the source of the translated content for Imas 1 in 14:40? Is there a fan translation I don't know of?
Those are scenes from a in-game event of Million Live Theater Days. Kotori-san, the secretary of 765Pro, has a hyperactive imagination making manga references of everything, like this Jojo Reference in the anime. ua-cam.com/video/vRl_QjH0qrU/v-deo.html&
I got a psp imported from Japan that had songs from Idolm@ster psp game installed. Thanks for the video! I was really wondering what it was with all the music and backgrounds that the previous owner has on the SD card.
While this was a nice, and fun informative video giving me more content for Im@s so I can enjoy it more casually… I’d like to blame Xenoglossia for somehow being my gateway here. Goddamn, Xenoglossia.
I recently bought some Weiss Schwarz decks and two of them are Idolmasters, one being Cinderella Girls. I was very confused about what the franchise even was
Each series has at least one deck of Weiss Schwarz (Except SideM). The Idolmaster (7), Cinderella Girls (2), Million Live(1) and Shiny Colors(1). Shiny Colors is the most recent in Jp, and Cinderella Girls have a version in English.
It’s the granddaddy of a new genre called 2.5D, where content is made in both the 2D anime and game world, but also the 3D seiyuu world. 3D content typically includes album releases, live concerts and seiyuu livestreams. Right now Love Live and Bang Dream are the most successful franchises with this style
Anime is the best way for introduction. 1.The Idolmaster 2011 + Movie 2.The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls 2015 3.The Idolmaster SideM Anything else are spin-off like Gekijou or Puchimasu.
1.The Idolmaster (2011) 2.The Idolmaster Movie 3. The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls (2015) 4.Jupiter Ova + The Idolmaster Sidem 5. The Idolmaster Million Live (Airing this year) 6. The Idolmaster Shiny Colors (Airing this year) Spin-off: The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls u149 Cinderella Girls Gekijou.
Perfectly! The manga that are active now and are very good: The Idolm@ster (Mana) The iDOLM@STER Million Live! + Theater Days THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls U149 + After 20 Or check this video too. ua-cam.com/video/q8ouillkgYo/v-deo.html&
Fate series doesn't have any visual novel translated to English (Except Fate/Extra) officially but still it doesn't keep the fans from there, thanks to the dedicate fans.
I would never focus on any other protagonists in any game nor story except one singer, I would 100% let other singers from other stories come around to my protagonist and sing, stay a while maybe then leave again maybe return. But having these different branches of singers as the main protagonist is a big no under one author. It's bad idea forcing fans to remember all these protagonists, bad for business
Idolmaster doesn't directly try to make you become a fan of all of them or learn their names like one might in Pokemon (anexample exaggerated). Even within the idolmaster fandom, many only choose focus on support one single serie/ idol and decide to play when that character has an event or some new material, which is quite cyclical since they have to give screentime to everyone.
Although each branch has a mobile title, most of its history is in console games. Like The Idolm@ster SP or Idolmaster OFA (with English Patch). The recently Starlit Season (2021) is for PC, ps4 and ps5 (Only Jp).
Thanks for recommending. Played Starlit Season on PC and was astonished by the 3D anime stylisation and character model. Pershaps the first ever anime-style game I've played with ray-tracing. @@imasSubs2

Sorry I can't speak Japanese.
It would be nice if Idolmaster is released worldwide, like BanG Dream! and Love Live!
unfortunately bandai wont

Just started getting intrested cause anastasia and makoto
Fictional idol much better than in real life. No drama. No exploitation. No unrealistic expectation.
You just havent found the right girl. Dont give up
15:11 How is Hayate in Shiny Colors? Is that fanmade?
The new Growing Stars game answers the 315 weakness.
Two reasons I am here:
Beserk

Love the songs in Cinderella.

Will idol master ever be global, i looked it up and it said it was on ios and android but when I look for it on the AppStore it’s not there??
