the best thing about an ML anime is that I can finally see Subaru animated :)

anyway, can't wait! thank the animators for the early screening.

RobertBobert said:
Well, if I remember correctly, this part has a cast compilation from others.

Boazanian said:
yup! Gonna be really nice to see the newer idols from the games as well as the OG cast

RobertBobert said:
I'm not a big fan of this version, but I was about to rewatch the original anime recently, so why not? I hope that the adaptation of the loli manga will also not be long in coming

Boazanian said:
Any iDOLM@STER content is always good. and I'm pretty sure since U149 is airing in April (and if it's only 1 cour), we're pretty much having at least 1 im@s-related anime airing at a time for the rest of the year

I just hope Shiny Colors gets some sort of anime as well. maybe after Million Live anime

Whole cast?  Excellent.

The creators learned their lesson from Cinderella Girls, god that was a disaster.

RobertBobert said:
Did you dislike that much that the CG adaptation only focused on one unit and three characters?

Hoppy said:
Yeah as they were not the best choices at all, just bland overall when there are dozens of fun characters to choose from.

People will hate me for this but tt's good they are doing this adaptation in full CGI. Because one of the main selling points of any musical animes are peformances and they are way easier to make in 3DCGI (and so you can make way more of them and not just sparce ones like in forementioned Cinderella Girls). And as Bang Dream and D4DJ shown, it looks way less junky if the show itself is also in 3DCGI.

Of course the very first IM@S managed to do it pretty good with 2D and Love Live manages to combin 2D and 3D pretty good but in most of cases animation team just o not have this amount of production resources.

People won't hate you because this part of the franchise is itself a full 3D game. The rest depends on the studio, Bandori and D4DJ are adapted by the same studio, part of the shares of which are owned by Bushiroad.

Shirogumy can make as good CGI as Sanzigen. Of course, Orange is the best in industry but I will say these two are second best.

1st Idolmaster is definitely the best idol anime that I've ever watched.
But 3DCG? No, thanks. I'll pass on it. What a shame.
Every Idolmaster game was a full 3D game. What kind of argument is this?
Franchise as big as Idolmaster should get proper anime adaptation instead of half assed 3D shit. I'd be fine if only the performances were done in 3D (but I still prefer something as beautiful as Shine Post was and I'd take something like this over 3D shit any time). But full 3D? It's way too jarring for me to watch it. Especially since the animation is almost as bad as in any 3d anime. Just look how stiff and slow-motion like it looks. Of course, I realize that some people can be fine with something like this. But for me it's unwatchable. What's even more amusing is that the animation in the mobile game (which this adaptation is based on) looks way better and more lively than everything showed on the anime PV. Which is happening all over again. Nier Automata is the same. 3D animation done on in game engine looked way better than shitty 3D anime adaptation.

Every major Idolmaster game had 3D character models. And I was referring to your argument about how people won't hate this adaptation because Million Live was a 3D game. Forgive me if I sounded rude, I had no such intention.
