Stop hating on sukumizu and embrace your inner pervert
Chase Ramirez
it's kiss demon's birthday in Japan
Lincoln Nguyen
Thank you kindly.
Eli Carter
I bring up the Law of Ritsuko.
You can argue how Ritsuko is now a Producer and not an idol, but for all intents and purposes, she came into this franchise as an Idol. Therefore, she will always be an idol.
Even if by some twisted whim of Chihiro that he becomes an Idol, the same law applies, and he'll always be a Producer.
Carson Ward
I see.
Ian Hall
>completely unrelated to idolm@ster >has characters from TWO different im@s games in it you are retarded
Blake Russell
That's not really an issue at all, it's not like an extension like ML.
Gavin Ward
speaking of sideM
This months Day off SR is Takeru.
I still find it ironic that the Boxer Idol loves Shooting Games and the Mafia Idol loves Fighting Games
Andrew Thomas
GBF has more than that.
Nathan Garcia
You shitheads said the same thing about CG back when it was released.
Please just fuck off already.
Jonathan James
Why does it matter? And why wouldn't Scamco use their already popular brand to shill their new projects?
Oliver Ross
Why are the SideM cards so, uh, not really blurry but kind of? Dunno how to say this.
Jason Jackson
Really well done?
Isaiah Moore
Not them but if he did become an idol for a different sub-franchise, that would be a totally different situation in which he would be able to be considered both in different settings. He would be able to be an idol who was previously a producer without being called a producer at all as long as the setting of the conversation was SideM.
It's like if Ritsuko was sent to 346 as a Producer and never appeared there as an idol. She wouldn't be considered an idol. But since she kept to 765 then it's different.
Brayden Morgan
PUREST IN THE WORLD. Chie Sasaki.
Ryder Campbell
It's just a slightly different art style that kind of sticks out a bit much. Not so much but just different.
Liam Brown
What's the appeal of school swimsuits? Competition ones are superior in every way.
Adam Sanchez
>summons are the same as producable idols
Camden Diaz
I agree with you, but it's not hard to see the appeal of school swimsuits.
Adrian Richardson
>had a dream where I got an awful roll >wake up >limited SSR Yui and SSR Anzu >I really want to roll
Was that a premonition?
Ian Adams
Huh?
Lincoln Williams
In all seriousness, Takeuchi is appearing in all sorts of Otome/Fujoshit series nowadays. The guy is a fucking hearthrob in nippleland.
But I don't think he'll ever appear in an im@s franchise as an idol. He's set himself pretty strongly as TakeP, the Producer. And I highly doubt he will be anything else for im@s.
It's probably likely that he'll soon get picked up by a major male idolshit franchise soon though. And not just a tiny role in Pretty Rhythm either.
Tokyo Seven Brothers When?
Innocence and Nostalgia.
Logan Gray
>Innocence and Nostalgia.
'yeah'
Benjamin Jenkins
I'm genuinely curious which idol would they decide to turn into summon rather than playable character if CG had another rerun.
Sebastian Nelson
>Tomoka without exposed armpits >Shino without exposed back What is the point?
Hunter Bennett
Why are people so dumb? Takeuchi's sole reason for not appearing as an idol is that scamco ONLY has ONE Seiyuu per character.
There is literally only ONE exception of this.
Justin Jackson
The more pure and innocent something is, the more satisfying it is to etc etc.
Nicholas Smith
Yuko? More like Yuck-o
Jacob Diaz
Not sure who you're referring to, but have some Mayu.
What is her appeal anyway? She's creepy as fuck.
Zachary Jackson
every yuko fan will have a guaranteed SSR considering she is going to be the last
Parker Garcia
...
Oliver Ross
Mayu, control your jiggling.
Jacob Reed
>There is literally only ONE exception of this.
There are the Futami sisters.
And there are the Aoki Sisters.
Checkmate botanist.
Henry Morgan
I want Emi to eat my takoyaki.
Ethan Campbell
Yui Makino. Also she's a cute, good girl. That being said, yanderefags dig her, obviously.
Levi Wilson
Japanese understand the appeal, they're not for westerners.
Oliver Phillips
The twins don't count. They counted as one character in the original games.
Nathaniel Peterson
...
Camden Campbell
I can see Nana summoning actual aliens to attack.
Jacob Ramirez
>japan >taste
Hunter Torres
Hibiki doesn't count as an idol, she wasn't in the original game!
Jordan Diaz
Neither was Miki and Takane, what's your point?
Luke Stewart
hapiba
Christopher Miller
Esper Yuko conjuring shit at random, like that myconid summon where Farrah starts a forest fire by accident
Juan Wright
Well that settles it. Family members are an exception to this rule.
Look forward to a future Side-M update where a new idol who is this tall scary dude with eyebags and a deep voice.
His backstory is that he has an older brother who works at a major Production agency and he has a huge inferiority complex towards said brother. He decided to become an idol to show up this brother of his (when in truth he only wants his approval)
Tyler Sanchez
We've been having some fun Master+ charts lately, shame it couldn't last.
Christopher Diaz
That's one of the common theories of how they'd put him in SideM.
Ethan Kelly
It's funny because that kind of dramatic backstory would fit right in with Side-M.
Fujoshits love that kind of shit.
Love Destiny's Master+ chart is still pretty fun though.
Of course, it's fun in the: "HIJIRI MOCHIZUKI WHAT KIND OF SICK SADISTIC FUCK DESIGNED THIS SHIT" kind of way, but fun nonetheless.
Austin Clark
>Canada Day, July 1st >Kanada Day >Kanade Day Woah...
Wyatt Thompson
Why are ML devs more fun than CG devs?
Grayson Lee
Because ML is simply superior?
Nolan Bell
Is this bait?
Nicholas Powell
CG had some wacky events too
Brody Brown
If anyone has SS open right now, could you check the shop and tell me what the highest amount of jewels you can buy at once is, along with the price for it?
Thomas Jackson
Do you really need someone to tell you that?
Ryder Jackson
honestly any idol will do
if they can get away with Pierre coming down from the heavens, magically putting on his frog outfit then a bird pops his balloons to create a wind draft to hurt enemies they can make any idol a summon
like for example, Mayu muttering to herself which creates a dark element aura wave that hits the enemy.
Christian Cox
>i don't agree it must be bait
A new low.
Jaxon Rodriguez
>shoes and socks on the pool I knew cutes had brain problems but this is just too much. It's not even appealing, unlike Nana's thighhighs
Angel Phillips
kys
Noah Wilson
Yes
Jason Morris
But the new Master+ is fun as hell. Don't tell me you still can't do sliders
Not that guy but I really hate those sliders that make my thumbs hit each other.
I get too much into the song and it hurts like hell.
Ayden Thompson
8400 for 9800 yen which for me converts to $95.32.
Colton Robinson
>It's not even appealing, unlike Nana's thighhighs Momoka is a child. It's not supposed to be appealing you sick fuck.
John Bell
Thanks! Guess I'm doing four rolls for Yui and Anzu.
Jaxson Ross
Different settings.
ML is primarily a Theater. Most of their cards and workload depicts them in Plays / Movies / Whatever. Hence their cards tend to be more dynamic and action based. They're mundane girls acting out in not so mundane things.
CG is a more standard idol agency, but their roster is a rainbow colored clusterfuck of oh god what the fuck are these girls. Nonetheless, most of their jobs tend to be normal idol stuff.
Now here is a card of Suzuho wearing a flaming chicken teslacoil suit that breathes fire.
All arguments in this thread are now invalid.
Bentley Rogers
How fucking boring, it doesn't even have Nakai Masahiro in it.
Because ML devs just draw whatever, say it's the idols and call it a day
Charles Bell
To user that recommended me Pleasure Forever, it's nice, but I'm more into those less-upbeat, kinda-cool songs, like that blue faggot from UtaPri would sing.
I wish Honoka was voiced just to watch her defend Pinyas and TakePinyas and become another boss
Noah Wright
whatever SSR Suzuho gets, it will probably won't live upto expectations.
Nathaniel Cox
Eventually.

>Gatcha and event link Happening.

Play with your phone rested on a surface and use your index and/or middle fingers. It's much easier at the higher difficulties.
