IdolMaster 2 has been released, with otaku cries of joy swiftly turning into wails of anguish with the revelation that it includes events involving the girls variously using their breasts to warm the producer’s food, having sex with the boss to advance their careers, and most shockingly of all, that Ami has a boyfriend.
The controversially recast Yukiho offers to warm her producer’s bento with her breasts in a spot of “perfect communication”:
Ami is revealed to have a boyfriend:
Takane is the subject of a series of events which unsubtly reveal she is advancing her career by offering sexual favours to the company head:
Although quite a leap from the tame events of the previous game (if groping young girls can be considered tame), the level of seediness is quite in tune with the other minor IdolMaster games released in the interim, and will be very familiar to fans of Dream C Club.
Whether any of this will actually affect the game’s almost inevitable popularity remains to be seen…
they know how to piss off otakus, just say that a beloved 2D char has a secret lover.
Lol at the tag ‘Ronery’. XDDD
I’ve never played this series, but shouldn’t otaku be happy that there’re sex scenes now?
Not when the sex scenes involve their favorite girl(s) & some guy other than them.
Hmm. What would Kentarou Miura do now? Is this Namco’s attempt at forcing him to work on Berserk?
Is it wrong for me to want to buy a JP 360 to play an idolmaster game?

As an IM@S fan all I can say is… Interesting!
The Yukiho thing doesn’t seem all that different from the stuff you could do in the first game.
Ami having a boyfriend doesn’t even matter; you can’t produce her in IM@S2. I prefer Mami anyway.
This is all slightly more risqué than Idolmaster DS’s main heroine, who had an ex-idol teen mother.
I’m curious about Takane’s thing, but it’s also out of context.
If this is Namco’s attempt at being ‘realistic’, I’d like them to stop half-assing it. Give me escapist fantasy or give me grit, but giving me both in one package is just a mess.
