He did it right though?

>CGfags ruining OG birthdays

All Mikis are bad.

Happy birthday, blue-eyed Miki!

Splitting is literally the only solution and I don't know why some of you are so scared of it. It worked back then it will work again.

Loli Miki > literal shit > Miki > Candy Miki
I'm not even a loli guy but she's the only one that isn't obnoxious as shit
Miki is above Candy Miki because she has songs that aren't piss poor

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa
You can't just shit on Radio Happy, man

...

>he's not listening to Radio Happy

>hating Radio Happy

Behold the shit taste!

Radio Happy is not a good song

>she has songs that aren't piss poor
I exhaled sharply through my nose. Good post.

Said no one ever

You are not a good song.

The fuck? Why wasn’t I informed that not only did Tamaki finally get an SSR, but the art in it is absolutely delicious?

Miki is certainly capable of singing when she's not being an obnoxious shit with her ""cutsy"" voice
I just said it

Thanksgiving break god bless!

Radio Happy is fun and catchy. And I don't even like Yui that much, the song itself is making me happy, like it should be.

When is Matsuri gonna get a thread

It's legitimately hilarious to me how no one here cares about 765 anymore.

You're no one.

BELIEVE IN CHIE.

Does Kaori approve of Tamaki's new SSR?

It's grating at best
>expecting people to care about the franchise that not only gets the least content and attention in Japan, but also doesn't have any entry-level mobile games like the other branches
Not even MLbabbies care about it, even if they say otherwise.
Understandable

I can't stop having impure thoughts about this girl.

It's almost like 765 hasn't had a good game in 3 and a half years.

It's almost like it's a bunch of 40 year old women pretending to be 15.

Tell me your favorite CG songs, then. I want to judge you and I'm curious

I'm a basic bitch so I like Koi Kaze

Radio Happy just sounds like some Carly Rae Jepsen song from 2012. Nothing to cream yourselves over about.

But Nana is very popular.

Run Away With Me is a masterpiece, though

That's not really the reason why 765 isn't popular in /@/

CG is more popular everywhere

In other news, the sky is blue
Japan still cares about 765 significantly more than /@/ does though

It's a good song, and I'm sorry you're a terminal weeaboo.

Actually, Radio Happy just sounds like California Girls but without any sex on the beach

nicovideo.jp/watch/sm32308086

This video with a shitload of effort put into it is lucky to get a fraction of the views that the nth "lul I put the new SSR into an MV plz upvote" and/or "eceleb let's plays deresute" video gets, it's why I barely go to nico anymore.

Yet it doesn't stop OG purists from complaining about it. Not even ML is safe from them

Because the current generation of /@/ never cared in the first place, but the anonymous format obfuscates the flow of time and allows one to delude themselves into thinking that all the old people still post here.

blog it mate

>MUGEN videos in 2017
Had it coming honestly
>OG purists
Like who
Any of the OG purists all either moved on or don't post on /@/ anymore, which is clearly evidenced in the extreme lack of OG-related posts or really any care for anything OG-related in this general
It's ML purists now if anything

Most people don't realize this on Veeky Forums. Being anonymous fools you into thinking you belong to a community that only exists inside your head.

He should buy more ads.

Given how Stella Stage seems to be PS 2.0 it's understandable why people show more interest in CG and ML these days.

I'm still looking forward to the final Master Primal CD.

Yeah I know, it's especially apparent on /a/. I cringe hard whenever someone posts some shii quote about imageboard culture or some other wannabe oldfag shit in 2017, but it's pained and sad sort of cringing because I understand where that person is coming from deep down.

Given everything involved in the current state of iM@S, /@/, and the 765 AS, it makes sense why /@/ wouldn't be interested in the 765 AS
I'm still curious who these OG purists on /@/ are though, maybe this guy is trapped in 2013 or something

There hasn't been OG purism in a long time. This thread got kicked out of /a/ in 2015 because people kept discussing mobage.

Yeah, it's why I'm confused as fuck where is coming from

There's no OG purists anymore, it's just a half-decade out-of-date scapegoat that he still clings to while ironic twitter and reddit weebs dominate the majority of the thread populace.

What's wrong with Twitter? All the Japanese artists post their stuff there now.

They are the people who think imas is 90% about the seiyuus and that the popularity is 50% 765 50% CG.

And they know more than you because they are oldfags that contribute to the thread.

I think he's talking about EOP Twitter
Like that one girl who complained about people sexualizing iM@S lolis despite lolis being sexualized as fuck by Namco themselves
Damn, they're cool

> 90%
It's more like 25%.

That's still far too much, you can easily get a lot out of iM@S without being invested in the VAs at all.
It's 10% at absolute most. Although, I'm pretty sure the original guy who said seiyuus make up 90% of the franchise was just joking.

Well yeah.

>was just joking.

You'd think so but then you have absolute retards like Mochoshitter around so.

Guys, we're going to get autosaged again.

Please, god.

How could Tamakin be anything less than absolutely delicious?

Dress up Rina!
The most fun thing in the world!

what are these children doing under there

...

Footjobs!

Anyone have a download link to MTG02 since it came out today

Hugs headpats and kisses
Specially the last part

Hopefully no one canceled their order after the iTunes "early release".

Don't do that.

I'm under there, specifically I'm near Syoko and not big headed Tachibana.

There's 5 different im@s radio shows, individual VA radio shows, lives, twitter stalking, blogs, etc. If you're not EOP you can get a lot out of VAs, and even more so if you're actually in Japan and attend lives. VAs make a subsection of nu/@/ butthurt for some reason though.

Hugging headpatting and kissing Harukasan
Specially the kissing part

Proto-Mio best Miki

Yeah, which is why they're not 0%, VAs certainly have a place in iM@S. Saying they have a main or even a remotely large stake in iM@S though isn't the case.
Although, the importance of VAs changes from franchise to franchise. For example, VA importance in ML is a lot more significant than it is in CG or SideM

SideM is likely more about the VAs than ML, the sales of the live BDs compared to everything else they release is pretty funny.

Get Nana out of there.

Getting Layla pregnant.

With my dick.

>Saying they have a main or even a remotely large stake in iM@S though isn't the case
Maybe I'm misinterpreting you here but how can you say that VAs don't have a large stake in a franchise that is mainly about music and character interaction? im@s technically had live concerts before the first actual game was released. 765, DS, ML, all came fully voiced from the get go, I don't remember how it worked for SideM but I'm pretty sure a fully voiced cast was planned from the start, and the election that's based around who gets a VA is a major part of CG. The browser game thing will apparently be fully voiced from the start too.

Twitter is absolute shit as an image-sharing platform. Fuck all the artists that only post their shit on it. I legit hope that someday Twitter goes paranoid over lolicon and porn and starts banning artists left and right, if only so that they'll migrate back to Pixiv or wherever.

I'm talking about VA-only things like radio shows and livestreams when referring to VAs

SideM's 2nd Live was stupidly good. They sound incredible, and dance the full choreography instead of getting background dancers to do it. It's hard to believe it was more than half the cast's major debut. The high sales are probably because of that.

>I don't remember how it worked for SideM
They got voiced in Starting Line order, it took roughly a year and a half.. They probably wouldn't have been voiced at all if the game crashed and burned.

Because SideM lives are miles ahead of the other branches. Do I need to post Study Equal Magic again?

...

I don't get it

Can the idol come out to play?

>spoiler
What

Rin you're there.

Why Shiki's such a slut?

When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Idol Storage"?

Something Namco copyrighted recently. Could be anything.

All my desk daughters.

Look, no one else wants to take these MLs.

The item itself is cute, but why this desk must be so huge, damnit
It looks like a wardrobe
