I like how there's a girl there, and even she's bored
Honestly, this could have been solved if they put those guys in a different game. Like "Idolmaster for girls" or something. Isn't that the point of putting guys here is to attract female audience?
Why the heck did they put these guys on a franchise primarily known for a devoted MALE OTAKU FANBASE!? Somebody in Namco's marketing department needs to get sacked.
idolmaster girls side
I guess the guy with the green lightsaber felt really awkward after that.
Also: LOL!
Anyway, keep in mind. This disaster was not the creation of the NB creative staff, it's the fucking, retarded CEO and his ass-lickers that come up with such crappy marketing shit. NB usually gets a lot of flack, understandably so, but one should always know the true culprit of a crime.
kimoii, is the only way to describe those new male idol and not for the fans
dmc5 and now this........
what MAG.NET episode is that? the new ones?
Have you guys seen these guys in action before posting shit about them?
These guys are fucking amazing.
All these otakus are crying because they don't have enough cute little woman on their TV.
This is not a game for boys or girls ONLY.
This is a game for everyone.This isn't porn either.
Stop crying over the fucking girls already.
These guys are cool.
if they're so fucking amazing they should get their own game, not by hijacking another character place
real idol world is harsh, they shouldn't get that in there
And I'm to assume that you want to see little bishies and a trap running around your screen?
I guess he wants to see the bishies doing each other.
Majority rules pal. The otaku don't care if they new idols are cool or not.
But...don't you agree that the removal of the four girls was a bad idea? They were quite popular last I checked.
that was hilarious, it made my day.
The reaction to the existing idols = YAY! HURRAY! WE LOVE THEM!!!
The reaction to the new boys = *Cricket Chirps*
Maybe a farting sound or two. ^_^
a disturbing conglomeration of pedos.
adding boys to an used to be all girls idol management game is plain wrong
Not even the females are amused...fail
Maybe next time they try to understand their customers.
Hahahaha! Sure lolz over the demise of Idolm@ster!
Man, never seen so many losers in one place at the same time.
At first I was like "FUCK YEAH!" but then I was like "...".
there reaction to the new boy awsome XD
The face of those guys in the last picture look like they are asking:" What the f**k??? Where is the girls??? Are they thinking I am GAY???"
Boys?!? I could make my own Arashi?? My own Super Junior!!?? Screw the killjoys!! Me wants!!
4koma!4koma!
The guy in the white Cap doesn't react at all....
because of the sole reason of being nerd,lonely and lacking of personal innitative to be socially intelligent. Oh by the way idol shitn is popular in japan, because of the girlish voices,that's it,plenty of japanese are very influenced by the fear of rejection.
someone please tell me why nerds like this shit?
lol XD
wow namco just wow -___-
why must namco bandai remove the 4 girls??? why they can't just keep the girls while adding the boys??? i think that's a better idea... and i don't accept limitation of console or storage memory to be an excuse for this...
AND NOTHING OF VALUE WAS LOST
Said so many times already. Not getting any funnier.
"Directed for girls..."
Anyone else notice the major lack in estrogen in the crowds?
srly it doesnt make sense for me. Why did namco get rid of those girls and replace them with those gay male characters? Namco is very aware of what its public are... so why such a stupid move?
*In an announcers voice*
"Well, Bob it looks to me like they're all winners!" (referring to last pic)
Notice how the blue-haired chick on the left looks disappointed at the final picture.
I think Namco forgot why they called it "Idol M@ster" Talk about forgetting your target audience...lol
It's like all japanese game developers suddenly decided to commit seppuku by pissing off their costomers.
Namco, Squeenix, who'll be next?
Teehee! Squeenix. First time I heard them being called that.
Supply and demand my friends.
Where one falls another shall rise.
Namco Tales division fucks over their western fans...
...Namco iM@S division fucks over the locals/otaku in general.
It seems like the only team who cares for everyone is Harada and the Tekken/Soul series group.
This ladies and gentlemen is why boy service and girl service are best kept separate.
Much like in porn its a complete mood killer and sort of defeats the whole point.
THIS IS SO FUNNY!!!!
I laughed
All those lost soul sad cause they take away there favorite chracter I feel your pain idolm@ster fan boys I feel your pain
Lol when it's the boys turn they all turn silent xD
They should make Elite Beats Agent 2.
i think they are just enraged because of the girls that are not in the game. if there are those girls and the boys too they wouldnt care imo
Sausage fest.
i can relate. Its like taking Max Payne and turning him to bald fat guy killing hobos in sao paolo. Oh wait...
Max Payne 3: The real Fall of Max Payne.
