I want to fuck hibiki, miki, the twins and last but not least iori

Only worth watching for Chihaya.

For the most part I love the characters, but don't actually care much for the series itself. If we're talking solely the anime then I'd have to say that the 2011 anime is mostly good with a few really bad moments, the CG anime is ok, but not as good as the 2011 anime and the movie is trash. Most of the other stuff varies but I don't want to make a super long post on every single aspect about the series. It is better than most other idol series though.

Best animated television anime of the 2010s and contender for AOTD. The only idol anime that ever managed to be more than mere pandering. Spearheaded by some of the most skilled people in the industry and a literal M@STERPIECE. And this is coming from someone who has seens thousands of cartoons, shortfilm, movies and television anime alike. IM@S is a masterpiece and it deserves to be treasured. It's social commentary is so thourough and its criticism and optimism are so genuine. I went into it expecting idoltrash. I left being in awe of the production and every single one of its element.

Prefer Love Lives music, though. Not a fan of many IM@S songs, but that's irrelevant.

Decently fun and neat character designs, but I get the feeling that porn drives most of this series' popularity.

Takane is zamen monster.

There a christmas cake idol?

Would most definitely tongue punch her fart box without question.

My wife Azusa is already taken. Go away.

765 was the only good one and even then the second half was pretty dull.
Xenoglossia was a neat idea but without the characters proper was just another Sunrise show

i like the hentai

I wish SP had a full translation
I also wish x360 emulation were good so we could have an im@s 1 tl.
Fuck it's so hard being an EOP but still wanting to play the im@s games.

Side-M is the best part of the franchise.

Wanting to play im@s games and be able to read the dialogue gave me the motivation to finally learn moon runes and by the looks of it I think I'll be able to do it by the end of the year or earlier. You can do it user, I believe in you!

Reminder that today is Asami Imai's birthday.
Say something nice about Mingosu and Best Idolmaster Chihaya.

i like the doujins where mayu kills the other girls for getting to close to producer

Didn't the darling in the franxx creator direct this?

Otaku bait

I miss this show so much, it was one of the comfiest thing I've experience.

Im@s doujins have some sort of interesting personality to them compared to the boring ones from fate and the lesser boring kancolle.

I just want them to get the lead out and make more anime. 765, CG, ML, SC etc...

I love the doujins the most.

Why does CG love 876 so much?

Kind of sad about SC though. From what I understand it is really good too.

I enjoyed it, even though I don't remember a whole lot about it.
I watched Cinderella Girls recently though, and that was a nightmare. What the fuck were they thinking?

I wish it never existed so Miura would fucking finish Berserk

Franchise or just the anime?
Since this is Yea Forums I'll talk about the anime.
765 > Side M > CG for me. Maybe ML is better than 765 when it comes out.

>Kind of sad about SC though.
I'm out of the loop for about a year now, did it flop?

100/10

I really like the 2011 anime but I didn't feel the movie.
Didn't watch anything else IM@S yet.

who did you vote for in the election
spill your guts

Only the original was good. The rest is just soulless crap.

Guaranteed to piss /u/ off if you post a Im@s image as the OP of the so-called General Yuri Discussion Thread.

Excellent fertile bait.

>first episode introduce the characters and a way for the producer to know the girls before working with them
>proceeds to act like a braindead in next episodes
>producer is not replaced or brutally murdered
>girl 'afraid' of men
Infuriating.

I want to marry Nao.

Fine. But M@STERPIECE is a 10/10.

Convinced me to give it a try

Brainlet reply.

Shindarerra Girls was better and had best boy.

The best Idol series, with he best and the most creative music library with the most variety of genres. Great performances without garbage 3DCG, beautiful backgrounds, no "idol ni naritai" shit, just actual idol daily life. No forced personalities etc.
Of course love live is exact opposite.

why did he got arrested that one time?

SC and ML anime when?
The fish idol

who is the most popular million live character?

Going around most japanese sites/polls, it's Yuriko.

It's not perfect, but it has lots of perfect things about it so you can forgive the bad parts. Every single character is likable in some way and they all get moments to shine, the music is catchy and varied, the art style is really one of the best in anime and the animation can be stunning. It was clearly made by fans who are passionate about the games and took little pieces from each of them. The second half has too much of Kuroi trying to sabotage them, and Hibiki's episode is straight-up poor, but it's saved by things like Chihaya's solo performance.

One of my favorites, and Miki is the love of my life.

I like the cast of CG more, but the OG does have a special place in my heart still. I love Azusa and Yayoi. Azusa's episode is one of my favorite anime episodes ever just for how silly and fun it is. The original is better in terms of story and execution, but what I like the most out of iM@S in general is when it's just fun and not plot-focused like those special bonus episodes of OG and CG. CG has the best overall songs.

The Movie was complete garbage, but M@sterpiece was good.

Overall a good show. The comedy episodes were usually good, while the drama wasn't that great.

Good taste, user.

At least the animated version had hand-made dancing animation.

I like Takane the most!

After T7S anime.

iM@S was the perfect series for me when it came out. I really wanted to watch cute girls doing cute things, but not in a school setting as most anime did at the time. The series was a breath of fresh air and has made me a life-time fan of iM@S. I loved their huge variety of music and how they incorporated it into the anime.
And along with the series, I found Chihaya, who is forever my waifu. No other character tops her in my eyes.

Thanks, you too!!

Same for me, friend. 頑張れましょう

I think that CG is really underrated. The overall plot was more subtle than 765. I really love both though.

CG is both shit and super popular.

I never watched it. I only fapped to porn of that megane.

Gave us some good anal doujins, so it's alright in my opinion

I didn't mean that it was not popular, but rather that people wouldn't acknowledge its quality because of its large cast.

Bust: 72

Only the original game was any good. Even Miki, Hibiki and Takane were unneccessary additions. Don’t get me started on how horrid the Hibiki+Miki show from 2011 was.

I think most music from both are shit, but both also have some standouts.

Chihaya is the best even in other groups.

You only played the arcade game?

imagine being this pretentious for a video game where anime girls sing about being horny

Who cares if she's a fake NEET?

Shaking the dust off of her.

To be fair without CG Dearly Stars would be completely obsolete.

Happy birthday Kurisu!

Holy shit what a shit. Idolmaster isn't an anime, but a fucking game. And then the most appealing part are the dance performances. And then the dances are really only appealing because the (by default not oversexualized) characters are cute and pure and have an actual personality. So they aren't just objectified walking holes. Which, of course, makes 2d and waifus so attractive relative to "liberated" 3d roasties, who are just walking holes without any kind of emotional and social value. Idolmaster characters are absolutely worth jerking off to (as opposed to random thots from other games or real life), because they have actual value as character. Liberated 3d women and random porn thots, however, are just soulless objects. Thinking of them while jerking off is like... thinking of a plant. Or other inanimate object without soul. It's pointless.

Personally, I found the following 765 idols worthy of being jerked off to in a beautiful/cute sexy kind of way: Miki, Hibiki, Haruka, Yayoi, Chihaya, Takane (And Maybe Iori)
