It was announced at The iDOLM@STER SideM 2nd STAGE ~ORIGIN@L STARS~ event, which was held today at the Makuhari Messe Event Hall in Chiba, Japan, that the cellphone game The iDOLM@STER SideM will receive an anime adaptation. An official website for the anime also opened revealing a teaser visual and a promotional video. More information, including the anime's production staff and a new visual, will be announced on the "315 Day," which is named after "315 Production" on March 15 via a Nico Nico Live Broadcast Event. Shuugo Nakamura, who voices Teru Tendou, and Yuuma Uchida, who voices Kaoru Sakuraba, along with other special guests will be at the said event.

The iDOLM@STER SideM is the male counterpart of The iDOLM@STER series. It centers around the idol recruitment of 315 Production. The idols are divided into three categories, namely the Physical, Intelligent, and Mental Idols, as well as 15 idol units.

I'm hoping for Million Live instead of this.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

There's a mobage game like the CG one, yes. But they just announced yesterday that there's a new game coming out, which will probably be a rhythm game, just like Starlight Stage. I'm sure it will be awesome :)

Come on, buddy. Why does it have to be a short? Let it be a full length TV anime. I'm sure you'll get a Million Live TV anime too some day. ^^

God dang it, I wanted Million Live to be adapted. Besides this one sells 50-60% less in the music department than Cinderella Girls or the first Idolmaster.

I hope it's this year. The only announcement missing is an anime of Yumeiro Cast lol. Oh also Thanatos Night and Dynamic Chord, that's definitely gonna be gorgeous.

This year is packed with male idols, what with Magi#4 in Winter, Starmyu in Spring, Enstars in Summer and hopefully I7 in Fall. Tsukipro is probably next year.

Beautiful times.

Oh lord some people here are kind of a bit going too much. Welp, at least it panders for those that wants these type of stuff rather than... ya know, shows that are more towards other demographics? But not gonna complain.

Besides that this is nice, tho I enjoyed Idom@asters so we'll see how this one goes. It's probably going to be animated by A-1 Pictures as per usual, not sure, I might be wrong.

SideM has been around for about 3 years, so I'm surprised it took this long for it to get something animated. Hoping for the best of luck for 'em. Kinda wondering how big of a role Jupiter may or may not play in this.

Of course it sells less, they're making an anime to increase sales like they did with the original and CG, lol

Meh... hopefully it will be as good as the other idolmaster animes, getting tired of idol anime in general
its all the same and a lot have lackluster adaptations like B-project... where I couldn't even remember most of the cast's names.

Sadly I kinda agree with this. There are exceptions though but after how MG4 turned out I'm disappointed while watching all the time I'm like Rejet why?

If people think this anime is going to suck, then think again! This SideM anime is going to be amazing and more serious with the drama along with the idols' past and problems they have to surpass like Dream Fes than we could ever imagine like the 765Pro idols and the Cinderella girls surpass their problems in their series! I am so going to watch Idolm@ster SideM along seeing Kaoru, Ryo-kun, and Saki-kun in the anime series! We even see the main boys meeting the idols of 765PRO especially Miki( since they both have an big appitite), Chihaya (since they both lose their precious siblings), and Haruka( Since Haruka and Teru are the main characters of the Idolm@ster series).

I'm actually a little surprised it took them this long? you would think that pretty much after the game released the anime would too to promote it;; but better late than never!!
I hope the animations is just as pretty as with the girls ^^ and not have the performances be cgi...

Tbh it was going to happen sooner or later, SideM has been around for some time and this year's like the year of male idol anime. I'm really just waiting to see if any male idol anime can top Utapri's sales (I'm putting my money on EnStars, don't let me down).

I can forgive CGI if they looked as good as Tsukiuta's.

True! Tsukiuta is the only exception where their CGI was pretty incredible and I look forward to seeing it again on Tsukipro!
BUT because it does have the title of idolmaster im still hoping thats not the case since theyre known for their "no cg" during lives, whatever the case hoping for the best!~

Certainly not me. How much does SideM sell compared to the female-based series of the Idolmaster franchise anyway? I would assume it sells very little in comparison.

Well, I've seen the CDs sell over 10k and and sometimes over 15k and even more than that sometimes and obviously it's enough for the people behind iMas to care.

Why would you "assume" it sells very little? Male idols are huge with female fans.
