The Idolmaster turns 10 Years Old – Reflecting back on my Experiences with the Franchise

Artist: momen-tary

As mentioned in my summer preview, the Idolmaster franchise will finally have its 10th anniversary on July 26th, the date when the arcade version of the game was first released. Since its inception, the franchise has grown tremendously with Cinderella Girls, Million Live and Side M (which everyone forgot about). With that, I want to celebrate the occasion by reviewing two games from the franchise, movie and share a personal reflection on the franchise as a whole.

To start things off, I want to reflect on my experiences with the franchise and why it’s special to me, especially from a person that has a musical background.

I have to admit that I regret not watching Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka when it first aired since it’s a very enjoyable show about cute girls working at a coffee shop. There were a good amount of heartwarming moments and the little things in life that I can relate to. Since I have two episodes left to watch, I want to share some thoughts about the show.

Hibike! Euphonium and Concert Band Nostalgia – Remembering the Fond Memories with Music

It has been several years since I last played an instrument after graduating high school. For me, music played a big role in my childhood because I learned how to the piano at a young age and played the Clarinet since 4th grade. While there are shows like Tari Tari and K-ON, which focuses on music that I can relate to, I have to admit that Hibike! Euphonium feels very nostalgic since concert band was one of my favorite aspects of grade school, which I will share.

Yep, I have to admit that I’m addicted to Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka knowing that there is a second season on the horizon. I regret not watching when it first aired after watching 7 episodes all at once since there were a lot of cute and enjoyable moments. While I enjoy most of the cast, I have to admit that Rize and Sharo is the best couple. Once I finish it, I will eventually write a full review on it.

Atelier Shallie – Alchemists of the Twilight Sea – Final Review

May 7, 2015 by Chikorita157 Leave a Comment

Artist: kanoko

Since the start of the Dusk/Twilight trilogy, Gust has experimented with gameplay elements while having a somewhat darker story with the Earth in decline. In the last game, Escha and Logy allowed all 6 members (three active) to participate in battle while improving the alchemy gameplay by allowing you to choose the traits again. Also, you can see what tasks you need to get done along with what rewards you will get if you get a line up. Of course, the biggest addition is that there are now two protagonists you can play as, which has not been in the game since Mana Khemia 2.

The third and possibly last entry in the Dusk/Twilight trilogy is Atelier Shallie, which of course not only have dual protagonists (both female), but it also bring backs some game mechanics from Mana Khemia 2 such as getting rid of the time limit, variable strike and the burst gauge while introducing some new features and improvements. Since I have beaten the game at least once, its time to share my thoughts.

More on Idol Anime – Which Franchise do I prefer and who are my Favorite Idols?

It has been a few years since I shared my thoughts on my favorite idols from The Idolmaster. Of course, a lot of things have changed since then. Bandai Namco eventually came up with Cinderella Girls (which is receiving an Anime adaptation) and Million Live. Of course, other idol shows have popped up as well such as AKB0048, Aikatsu, Love Live School Idol Project and Wake Up Girls.

I guess some people might be curious on which one I prefer and what are my favorite idols from these franchises. This is what I’m set out to do right here.
