The iDOLM@STER 03: Balls

Vocaloid is shit. Lady Taka agreed, don't bother her about it.
I am not going to lie, my enthusiasm dipped tremendously after watching this episode, but on the plus side, they got the worst character out of the way early on...

Ritsuko can see Russia from her house
If you have read my introductory post on the show, you might have remembered how I likened it to Morning Musume. Well, virtually all of the girls here can in fact be mapped onto a member from the the aforementioned idol group, though Yukiho is the only one who still eludes me. There is no shortage of personality types they could have based her on, yet their decision of having an androphobic is baffling and impractical to say the least. Can you imagine her attending fan signing and handshake events?
Well to be fair, they have certainly cranked up Yukiho's fear of men up a notch in comparison to the game. It was nowhere this chronic and in a way worked fine in the latter, because as it lent towards character development, you see less of it as you progress. Here, it is just simply painful to watch as it borders on being irritating with no actual resolution to speak of. Shame that they would ruin an otherwise nice girl whose songs I enjoy listening to

According to doujins the best way to make a girl overcome her fear of men is to have her be the star of a nonstop multiple copulating session until she readily accepts with open limbs the favours of the less fair sex.

In real life it works too, only time-reversed… Happy girl -> surprise “multiple copulating session” -> androphobia.

Happy girl -> surprise “multiple copulating session” -> mind break
FTFY

It works both ways and multiple ending! Just like an eroge! Only problem is you cannot save beforehand, you have to use a different girl every time you want a different ending. sadface.jpg

It’s funny because the only doujin I have of Yukiho is exactly just that!

Doesn’t help that her VA switched to a higher pitched one as well…at least we can move on now. Her previous VA was better IMO.

Indeed, I would have probably have found her a little less grating if it were till Yui Horie
Oh seiyuu bias you so crazy.

“Shame that they would ruin an otherwise nice girl whose songs I enjoy listening to ”
She’s one of my favorites when singing but here it seems her entire existence is to appeal the yuri side since she’s almost the entire time together with Makoto
July 23rd, 2011 - 23:50
Ditto on that. Makoto is like one of those Takarazuka dykes that exist solely to comfort women because she’s ‘manly’ enough but still has the safety net in the form of a vagina.

I would agree with milady. However she missed out the fact that the twins are voiced by the same seiyuu who voiced Kagamine Rin/Ren.

Actually voicing the characters is vastly different from recording each syllable and using it on a voice synthesizer >__>

Where is my Shana?!
July 23rd, 2011 - 23:52
If you can wait until Iori’s episode. Alternatively, Ro-kyu-bu has a Shana. In appearances at least.

IM@S seems to be in a streak for dissing other material. Ep 2 dissed Kannagi, and now this.
July 24th, 2011 - 14:29
Dang she dissed my Vocaloid.
I would also admit it’s true though, and that’s why utattemita exist.
July 24th, 2011 - 23:15
It’s like Yamakan is behind it all subtly taking jabs.
July 25th, 2011 - 19:02
Which one is Yukiho again?
July 26th, 2011 - 04:40
ONLY THE BEST IDOLM@STER IN EXISTENCE!!! She’s that super-duper shy girl (
) with a shovel. She’s scared of men, but if anime taught me correctly, will “doesn’t afraid of anything” by the end. BELIEVE IT!!!
July 27th, 2011 - 14:29
She’s also always seen hanging around alpha female Makoto, invading each other’s personal space…
July 26th, 2011 - 04:37
Oh wow… I hadn’t realized the Ritsuko/Palin connection! It’s no wonder I hate her so much (but secretly love her when no one’s looking).
Eludes… Hmmmm… *checks dictionary* SHIN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE LOVE MY WAIFU!!!!! You’ve gotta admit she’s better than that WORKING(!!) Carrot-Top, right? Anyway, I loved the silly moments like Hibiki crying with that cow. Yeah, I love scenes like that. “I’LL MISS YOU, COW” “MOOOOoOOoO!!! MOooOoOoOo!! MOoOOOoOo!!!” *BA DUM PSH*… It’s really funny when you think about it! IT IS!!!

I’m not particularly into bestiality…

nearly misread “lady gaga”

July 27th, 2011 - 14:35
It’s funny because that’s what I meant. There’s fan art of Takane looking like Lady Gaga ww
