In what has been decried by more traditional fans as yet another overbearing attempt to expand their audience to include the fairer sex, Namco Bandai has unveiled yet another game in its Idolm@ster Mobage line entitled “Idolmaster SideM” – likely bound to open old wounds with the seething otaku hordes still moaning about Idolmaster 2’s former fiasco.
Update: And now the PV is out…
Evidence of the game first emerged via Mobage’s site:

The game is planned to follow suit with Cinderella Girl’s hugely successful card based “gameplay”, with clear hopes that the combination of mobile, social and fujoshi will be anything but a rotten one.
I’m trying to look at this completely objectively. On one hand, I see absolutely no problem with women getting fan service geared towards them. It only benefits the anime industry in the long run by bringing the young female crowd (Japan’s biggest consumers for goods and services in general) and that’s never a bad way to get revenue.
The thing is… are these guys really considered attractive to women? Or did they designers just guess? Because if you’re not even going to put in the effort to give the women fanservice, you might as well just put all the girls back in where we know you’ll make a stronger effort. Let another team work seriously on the stuff for the girls for a bit of fair play.
Now let’s get all the male Idolmaster character with all the female Idolmaster characters, and watch the world burn
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, AAAAAAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
So what’s wrong with this game some people been complaining with? I see no problem here.
Ikemen and bishonen idols, nothing wrong with that. Whether a girl or a boy and he or she likes opposite or the same gender, there is nothing wrong with that.
Don’t some boys admire cool men? Even they’re not into the same sex, but they like what they like. Same as some girls who admire beatiful women. So I don’t see any reason why would say this is only for fujoshi and caused by them, really.
Well, if you can’t agree with this, you might just wish for humanity to die. Really, that’s the only way to get your own peace. Oh, perhaps it’s better if you would just wish for everything from the Earth to deceased.
The amount of comments that are negative over a mobile card game like this truly astounds me. I won’t be surprised if this comment receives a Drivel (-0.8) because that’s what scared men that are insecure about their sexuality do. You all make me sick, and I sincerely hope that this become so popular that it receives a console game for the PS3, and I can’t wait for the day I see all of you bitching over it. I will relish in your weeaboo tears with all my heart. All I have to say is good for you, iDOLM@STER! You’ll still have your cute girls, so you won’t have to whine and complain about anything else. Have you seen the Million Live girls? There’s a ton of them, and only a handful of guys here. You’re all are pathetic and I hope you know that.
f♥♥k you people saying about fujoshits BLAMING EVERYTHING TO THEM!
WHY THE f♥♥k DON’T YOU JUST f♥♥k YOU ANIME LIFE AND GET A FUCKING LIFE WITH REAL WORLD WHEN YOU PISSED OFF WITH THESE KIND OF THINGS!?
f♥♥k OFF THE REAL WORLD, THE REAL KUSOGE!
