All the stuff below is now outdated other than Pripara and Aikatsu, Winter 2018 post is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Click here for theSPRING 2018 UPDATE!

SUMMER 2018 update here!

It's a new season, and with it almost every major idol franchise has something. This is basically gonna be the general idol thread in case no one makes the other show-specific idol threads, or they die from little discussion. Here's what we got for Fall:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCU5BbOpEU4
idolm@ster Side M focuses on the boys this time as 315 Productions makes their debut, starting with recruiting former 961 Pro idols, Jupiter, as well as brand new boys who will be the main characters of this. Side M continues directly off of the 2011 idolm@ster anime, generally only pertaining to Jupiter's backstory. Newcomers can come in fresh though, since episode 0 basically covers that plot in broad strokes, and is also a crossover with the idolm@ster movie, in case anyone was wondering about that run-in with Haruka. Watch it on Crunchyroll on Saturdays!

Cinderella Girls Gekijou 2nd Season
More animated theater shorts of the 4koma! Not quite as good as Puchim@s, but has some fun bits here and there, and it's all good as long as Uzuki can ganbarimasu her smile. Hopefully s2 will have more of that! Crunchyroll currently has the 1st season, and hopefully will pick up the 2nd season. Airs on Tuedays!

Love Live! Sunshine!! 2
More Love Live Sunshine!!! Season 2 will continue on as Aqours continues to try to save their school. Hopefully they'll step from 0 to 1, and can finally jump on that Happy Party Train! Airing on Crunchyroll on Saturdays!

First season thread is here, which I think we're still using

Wake Up Girls! New Chapter
WuG returns with a new staff and art style. Season 1 started off with a fairly cynical edge (and a kinda gross episode 2, it's ok all guilty parties were punched in the face) but it developed into a fairly positive underdog story of girls becoming friends as idols as they take on the equivalent of AKB48. Worth a watch, cause they have some rad choreographed songs at the very least. Also for any newcomers, the first movie is effectively episode 0, and the season directly continues from that. Both the first movie and first season are currently on Crunchyroll. You'll have to find the 2 sequel movies elsewhere. The sequel movies aren't as good, though Beyond the Bottom is a pretty good song. Spoilers: they won the Love LiveIdol Festa. Anyways, S2 looks to be continuing off of that, as well as introducing a new idol group. Hopefully Crunchyroll will pick it up. Airs on Mondays! Also watch Wake Up Girls ZOO, for it is perfect.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/wake-up-girls

Also technically still airing on a continual basis

Aikatsu Stars

quote:

Yume Nijino has been accepted into Four Stars academy, home of the beautiful and talented S4 idol group. She and the other newcomers are determined to discover their talent, with a choice of specializing in beauty, singing, dancing, or drama. A tough road lies ahead of them, and they must rely on each other to overcome their weaknesses and develop their unique strengths.

At the first-years' opening performances, Yume performs stellarly but faints and is unable to remember being on stage at all. Struggling to find her talent, she meets Rola "Laura" Sakuraba and the two develop a friendly rivalry, working together to learn and improve.

Though they have their differences, all the students share the same goal: to become the next S4 idol. But hard work and determination, along with teamwork, are needed if they want to join the elite S4.
I'm not the best person to ask about Aikatsu, for I'm still behind on it, but it's good. Airs on Thursdays from your local fansubber!


Idol Time PriPara

quote:

The story focuses on Yui, a girl who lives in the town of Paparajuku, and who dreams of being an idol, even if she realizes that being an idol is next to impossible for her. Her friends often remark on how much she dreams about it. But then, the PriPara idol theme park opens in her town, and that an idol named Laala is coming to town from Parajuku, which only makes Yui dream even bigger. The new PriPara theme park has been updated with new concepts. However, due to a system error, Laala is no longer able to PriPara Change.
Aikatsu's competitor in both arcades and on TV, PriPara continues the franchise formerly known as Pretty Rhythm. PriPara is helmed by Milky Holme's first two seasons' director, and like those seasons it takes a more irreverent approach with its source material. It's pretty fun from what I've seen. Idol Time directly continues from PriPara, so might be worth starting there first. Airs on Tuesdays from your local fansubber hopefully!

I'm excited for all aspects of the Idolocalypse. Sunshine of course, but the Jupiter ep of SideM was really good, and I've high hopes that WUG can return to form after the disappointing movies with a full season to work with again. I still need to finish the first season of Cingeki, actually, so I guess that's the redheaded stepchild of the four horsemen. Heck, maybe I'll get back to Aistars to round out my idol experience.

I'm imagining they have a very precisely placed camera pointed at their phone, which only has a speaker to the right of the camera.

I watched the sideM episode 0 and i actually liked the show. Funny and filled with passion much like the first idolmaster show.

Also I like Jupiter now? But yeah A-1 does not disappoint in the dancing animations

I read like, part of the Jupiter story in the side M game, and that made me like Jupiter.

They really don't get a chance to do much besides be dickheads in say, the idolmaster anime. Even after they leave 961, they only really show up for a few seconds to make Haruka feel a bit better. Twice, even.

It's amazing what more than 30 seconds of characterization'll do to change your opinion.
