LISTEN HERE YOU FAGGOTS

WITH ML STOPPING THEIR SERVICE, MILLION LIVE'S FRANCHISE IS GOING TO SUFFER A 50% OF REDUCTION IN THEIR CONTENT. WHY WOULD THEY LET A FRANCHISE DIE LIKE THIS? THIS PRETTY MUCH CONFIRMS THE MLS WILL BE PART OF THE NEW HTML5 GAME.

Was going to post this in the last thread but here is better.

oh god this is too good

Discuss why Kaede is the best idol.

This is still a sad day.

Happy Halloween /@/.

Today's featured Ghost/Zombie: Greemas.

I hope Kotoha comes back soon.

Nah, I'm grinning like a madman. What a great way to finish off the weekend.

TD is a thing, and it'll only get more content from here.

Isn't fair MLbros, they are laughing at us
We were supposed to win.

RIP Greemas
Please add Kotoha to TD before Greemas goes away

Spooky thread. Let the dead rise up!

>I thought the HTML5 game features an entirely new cast?
They never said it would be an all-new cast. It wouldn't make much sense for them to make ANOTHER whole new set of idols for the HTML5 game. They said there would be new additions and designs, but that can be said for Theater Days as well. I think there's a pretty good chance that ML is moving to HTML5.

>We won't get an April Fools card next year
Goddamn it.

> Dressed up for Halloween
> Except Mirei and Asuka who just have SSR outfits
Come on, artist, at least give them proper spooky costumes.

>MLfags
biggest joke of the century

How about a series that fucking killed itself and shat itself? If so then
MegaMan X series.
Megaman battlenetwork series
Megaman...

She's still alive.

>people acting like the entire ML branch is ending when it's just the fucking card game
I hope you guys are being ironic

CG will die eventually too. All good things must come to an end.

It's all because I failed to get mafia Karen in the latest IMCE.
I'm so sorry Karen.

BELIEVE IN CHIE.

Leave them alone.

>you guys
Metafag*
and no, he isn't being ironic. he's actually that pathetic.

>Accidentally feeding an unawakened SR before getting their commu and jewels

>cg
>good

It's the original game, and the steadiest source of content, unless you're a secondary or something.

Y-yeah, just look at all the content ML had. Now its huge development team will get to throw all their weight behind TD and it's gonna explode in content and popularity.

Layla please come at me

THOUGH ML IS EOS
BUT TD EVENT STILL SOARS
NEVER STOP

GOING
TO
DIE

well, if was an event SR wait for the Live Party rerun, if was an gacha one just use jewels or wait for the SR ticket

That's what locks are for.

It will end, but not when it's only 4 years old like ML.

> The jackass who married the woman I loved died in a car crash
> ML is shutting down and possibly stopping Metafag for a time

What amount of good news for day huh.

>Over ONE MILLION points
Jesus user, you have my respect.

>ranked even higher than before
you're fucking mental my man

THERE GOES MY HERO
WATCH HIM AS HE GOES TO DIE

if Kotoha doesn't get added in TD before GreeML dies, she'll be in Limbo with Kotori

Part of it is confusion (people not understanding the difference between ML and TD), and part of it is shitposting.

Can we just have a proper fucking Halloween thread please. Now that a Halloween OP squeezed through for once.

You deserve Shizuka's love.

Good, good.

SS ver 3.4.0 is out. Some changes to the slides in Smart Live.

Don't you die on me.

...

It's where most of the art comes from.
It'll now take much longer for girls to get cards.

k

Did they make Anzu no Uta less retarded? Because other than that, I'm already quite peachy with Smart Lives.

ML is dying, not him, user.

>tfw only played TD not ML
Just give me chocolate reika and we're good

No, instead you'll get MLfags whining about their shit game nobody cared about. (hence why it's dead)

Oh shut the fuck up already metafag it's not even halloween

>> The jackass who married the woman I loved died in a car crash
And you still won't be able to marry her.

>still has 50 heart pieces left
Have fun tonight.

Halloween comes every year, ML only dies once.

I would've played it if card games weren't so shit.

Exactly, I am not planning on touching used goods but that what he gets for putting everyone against me.

>CG image
>metafag
How are you liking it here, newfag?

This means the card TLs will stop too and we will get less cards and events.
A lot of cards I like still haven't been added to TD.

There are two commus left to watch, user.
Do it.

They probably made it easier to hit great/perfects. I'm not sure it was necessary, I FC everything except Mika's and Anzu's song and It seemed fair enough.

I suppose I should have suspected it from all the final day talk and those endless events.

Thank You! Million Live Final Party! in mid-November will be the final event.

Even after service ends, the idols will keep idolan, they say.

Starting tomorrow at 12, there will be a TH@NK YOU FOREVER!! campaign.

----

12/1 - Platinum Gasha. The final gasha will be Happy Days! Million Theater Live Day 15

However, there will be one last Theater upgrade planned for early November.

Login Bonus - From 10:31 onward, Million Jewels 10-100 -> daily 300 Million Jewels + 30 letters + 30 presents

Also, no refunds.

I think Miyabi killed ML.

Go for a single digit rank.

Same at least the cards were nice to look at

Wait
How will we get the rest of Space Wars and Idol Heroes stories?
TD doesn't have crazy event yet

So do I roll for Sayoko in two days despite knowing the end is near?

>no refunds
>TH@NK YOU FOREVER!!
There's a cartoonishly evil level of irony in here somewhere.

who

This is kind of a Halloween thread. ML has become zombiefied. It roams the earth with no more updates.

Mangas and CDs, I guess.
Alternately TD might change things up sooner rather than later.

Do it.
Love has no end date.

Wait for her TD SSR.

I snickered when I read it too. It's definitely there.

Yes, show your love until the very end.

So if I'm reading this right, just the updates are ending, and Greemas is just going to persist in some weird limbo forever?

TD is basically ML's 2nd Vision at this point.

Yes. Where was the confusion, Mirai?

I don't know mirai what do you think

...

Until the servers shut down. Which probably isn't too far off.

>ML moves onto HTML5
>CG's obsolete flash game remains... obsolete

I'd say this is good.

I'm almost free from one of my money sinks, hooray?

Hopefully someone archives all of the art and sounds before it goes off.

Is that a large drop?

I want to see a lot more content in TD as a result of this. Shorter gachas, shorter events, more voiced lines associated with new cards, new work commus. They have no excuse.

>They have no excuse
Heh.

They'll just shut down the servers a few weeks after they finish the last event.

ML was its main breadwinner, so it's probably going to tank.

>and sounds
God, so much voice work lost to the abyss of time.

Reading the nips comments on twitter is really sad.

How short do you want the gachas to be? I think it's fine to keep one week long gachas.
Rather than making shorter gachas, they could release more cards for each gacha.

This may have angered me once, but now I just sort of want to hug you.

They literally announced that they will hold an audition for new casts to fill in the HTML5 branch.
Unless it means that they would get rid the ML VAs, the HTML5 game won't have ML there.

>GURI
I'm retarded and sleep, was thinking Scamco.

HTML5 isn't on GREE.

Thanks, Space Ganaha.

A company in decline losing 2% of its share value in a day is generally not a good thing.

GREE must be really pissed at Scamco.

This can't be happening MLbros...this was OUR YEAR

>in a day
Nigga it's been like an hour
It'll just get worse as time passes

Stop falseflagging.

It's Gree almost literally dying? Killing ML seems odd unless they're porting ALL THE CARDS AND EVENTS to TD. I mean, if they're literally unifying the franchise, that would make sense. Otherwise, I don't get it.

>ML will kill CG
ML never even got close to CG's level and died 4 years later
>ML will get an anime series first
CG got an anime before ML
>TD will kill SS
TD is a later arrival the far less popular sister of a popular game in an already oversaturated market genre. And said more popular sister keeps outdoing it.
>Okay, NOW ML will get an anime
Side-M got an anime before it.

And now we have moved on to:
>ML moves onto HTML5
I'll be honest buddy. Keep fighting the fight. You need at least one win at this point.

>Trying to catch a falling knife.
Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but does GREE even support HTML5?

Theater Days added new girls too. Didn't mean it was a whole new cast.

With the market as saturated as it is, it would be crazy to try and make ANOTHER whole new cast of characters and try to sell them. Why not use the idols you've already got?
