Miracle Girls Festival – Final Review

Believe it or not, I enjoy rhythm games a lot considering my musical background. I have played several rhythm games ranging from Dance Dance Revolution, Audiosurf, The Idolmaster and even Project Diva along with a few anime licensed ones.

When I heard about Miracle Girls Festival back in 2015, it’s basically a dream come true. It’s a crossover game featuring female characters (a good chunk from shows that has a female cast) from 11 franchises (Yuru Yuri, Kin-iro Mosaic, Wake Up Girls, Gochuumon to name a few) with the same gameplay like the Project Diva games. How well does it fare? Let’s find out.

The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls – Final Review

December 3, 2015 by Chikorita157 3 Comments

Artist: 龍牙翔

Back in 2011, Namco Bandai decided to make an anime of a popular idol video game called The Idolmaster. It is basically an idol raising game where the player manages and produce idols for a talent agency named 765 Productions. The show was well received although it had some flaws.

Since then, Namco has been expanding the franchise by expanding in the mobile space with Cinderella Girls and the other being Million Live, which has yet to receive an adaptation. Cinderella Girls features a new and growing cast of idols with a small percentage of those receiving voices from idol elections. When an anime adaptation has been announced, it makes me wonder how they will make a show with such a huge cast aside from the thirteen girls in the main group. Let’s find out.

From the start, I was right about Executive Director Mishiro taking the sleazy businesswoman route and screwing over the girls’ dreams for profits. Of course, the Producer is not going to let the girls’ dreams get broken because of her after the amount of effort he and the girls put into the project to make it successful.
