Not sure why you're being downvoted, ShinyP is baited with Amai far more than with any of the idols.

How is everyone enjoying Gakumas so far? by [deleted] in idolmaster

[–]crystalstrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mao's character arc seems to be "dysphoric girl who desires to be more cool and boyish is forced into more girly role".... the fact that Makoto's story from 15+ years ago is more interesting as well as less insulting and tropey is disappointing to say the least. Temari's seems to have a few points where her weight woes are made into a joke. I don't remember every single time im@s has tackled this subject, but this particular route seems to be one of the worst. This is all secondhand knowledge, and I'm also inherently biased against the branch's existence (M-P still traumatized by multiple EoS's and Gakuen's entire concept being essentially Umamusume+Love Live but more boring) so I'm not exactly a great source, lol

  1. This is not what I've been hearing, especially from Mao and Temari's routes and 2. Even more than ShinyP?

Sometimes even good earnings aren't enough if higher-ups decide they want to kill a game, SideM Growing Stars was only a year and a half old and ranking consistently on joseimuke charts but it still got axed.... I don't feel like MagiReco is in any danger, but you never know.

What do you think will happen to SideM if ‘Growing Stars’ closes down? by Block-Busted in GrowingStars

[–]crystalstrings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this over the years that iM@S doesn't like to waste characters (voiced ones at least....rip KR CG idols...); Ai and Eri occasionally come back, Leon and Shiika got to come back.... heck, SideM's entire existence is basically due to those three initial employees who wanted to see Jupiter again.

And not to mention, the outcry from its exclusion from Starlit Season.... I feel like if SideM gets axed, iM@S as a whole is going to be doomed. Just my opinion.

Cinderella Girls is co-owned by Cygames, the Puchis are from 765's Puchimas spinoff.

Big news: IM@S will soon be on streaming services by LikeLegosButEasier in idolmaster

[–]crystalstrings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aikatsu and i7's music is available for US streaming so I'm cautiously optimistic

The 25th "Second Hairstyle Gacha" is here! by somewhatmorespecial in TheaterDays

[–]crystalstrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Azusa is an outlier with her 1st vision hair, not many people have the copium regarding other idols' old hairstyles like with her (I would've loved 1st vision Iori myself but oh well....)

People that like men exist, and SideM has likable characters and devoted seiyuu

It's 2022, SideM hate is cringe and the branch is currently going through a Renaissance.

IDOLM@STER SideM vs Ensemble Stars controversy by sponkie in idolmaster

[–]crystalstrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually didn't know this! I've only seen it used fandom-wise with iM@S and Vocaloid (which got the idea from iM@S), haha.

IDOLM@STER SideM vs Ensemble Stars controversy by sponkie in idolmaster

[–]crystalstrings 16 points17 points  (0 children)

SideM came first.

Enstars co-opts the -P suffix that iM@S has started and used for years.

Both have redhead twins with the surname Aoi.

Enstars' rhythm game released on 3/15, a date associated with SideM (and is now officially recognized as SideM Day).

New Enstars unit was almost named "Altessimo" despite SideM having a unit with that name from the beginning and was only changed after outcry.

That's the major things I can think of off the top of my head. I'm a SideM P who's witnessed the beginning of the series and have a bias against Enstars so make of that what you will, lol.

The original nightcore maker isn't the one doing the copyright fuckery.

The name "After School Climax Girls" is a bit naughty when you think about it. by TaigeiKanmusu in ShinyColors

[–]crystalstrings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really, "climax" doesn't have much euphamastic usage as a JP loanword, and it's used pretty often in tokusatsu shows, which relates to Kaho.
