"Eventually"? I'm watching it the second the drat thing finally gets subbed.

No seriously is this Crunchyroll's work?

Do I need to find a different fansbu?

The correct behaviour is to never look at subbed lyrics, because they're always bad

I only just got back from a great Saturday of work and now I don't have time to read all these posts properly

I don't see official ones on Daisuki, but there do exist subs for the episode in question.

I found Doki's subs to be decent. They also translate Anya's Russian and do the song lyrics better than CR.

The only way the broken-rear end russubs could be better was if they were yellow with a black outline. Then again, it really doesn't matter she pretty much always repeats whatever she's said in japanese anyway. At any rate, it's better than in SS where they helpfully put her russian into loving katakana like 95% of the time. Christ, that's awful.

I wonder if the brokensubs could be unbroken if you just changed the typeface. Not that it helps if they're hardsubbed. I'm trying to remember, but I don't think Daisuki's subs were any less ehhhhh. Then again, I still run into websites that won't work unless you manually change the encoding to SHIFT-JIS, so if the cyrillic wasn't encoded into unicode, you'd have to do even more dicking around to find the right KOI. It's pretty much not worth it.

Прикрасная!
Хорошо!
Давай!
Минами…

That's probably a good 70% of what she's gonna say anyway, so just print that out and hold it up to your screen at the appropriate time.

End of Episode 3 Thoughts
Miku constantly challenging the girls is played for laughs, but I think there is something that could be explored here. You see it all the time in real life, where newcomers who get chances that older members or those with seniority don't get to have, and that kind of stuff does breed resentment. And while Miku's antics are just challenging the cast to games, in real life things are not really as easy or sweet. People can get harassed by veterans or treated as being uppity or whatnot. And I'm guessing it would be a lot more vicious in the show business, where there are a ton of people dying for that one chance or opportunity. Though then again I really really really loving hated the drama resulting from Kuroi's antics in iM@S and I loving hate it when those sorta plots pop up in K-dramas so maybe it shouldn't be explored and everything should be nice and happy without causing me grief.

That said, I don't have as much to say about this episode as I did last episode, other than to say that I liked it.

You will probably be annoyed as hell at some point in the fairly distant future, I think.

Anyway since you mentioned it, one of the biggest differences between iM@S and CG is the company culture. 765 is a little talent agency in some tiny corner of Tokyo above a restaurant, and eventually they get huge. 346 is a media conglomerate — they do a hell of a lot more than just manage idols, although I think this particular building is where they stick all their talent-related operations. Even if you assume half of it is just training rooms and stuff (look, in house lessons! They're huge!), that's a lot of goddamn idols. Like, most of the background characters are named idols, but there's also presumably a ton of other ones around, but there's no need to design them, because there's already a 100+ cast to stick into every mob. It's great. It's also how the second half goes bigger, which I think is actually pretty interesting.

Kinda curious as to how you find that, whenever you get there.

And since you didn't ask, the photoshoot big in iM@S was pretty much 'what's a character,' so the focus was the younger(ish) ones. But yes, it absolutely reflects an anime with a significantly smaller cast, so you don't need an obvious vocal tic. Still, you need to do something to get to the top
(up here!)

But if you're not careful, bad things happen and you look like a clown. Or a ghost, I guess.



This p-chan doesn't really know what the hell he's doing, but unlike the CG p-san, he doesn't have an entire company worth of help. Poor bastard. But yes, the takeaway here was "be goddamn normal. Look at Yukiho she's just dressed like usual and holding a flower. That's fine, she doesn't have a dress stuffed with tennis balls." But then again, they're also not quite competing with each other in the company the same way they are within the cinderella project and also 346. Plus, it sorta takes a while, but it feels like CG is in a bigger world (which is, no doubt, because it's a huge loving talent department in a huge goddamn media company, vs. faxing headshots and hoping you catch someone's eye), where that sort of character is something other than “goddamn ridiculous.” Ranko's, too.


Incidentally, it feels like a really long time since I've seen Ranko in SS. I miss Ranko :(

Also I forget who asked, but did your opinion on Miku change all that much through the show? Because I eventually settled for "she's amusing, I guess." But I like her a lot more thanks to the game and half-understood stories.

im p sure that was me who was talking about her. me and my friend both shared the same developing opinion of miku, which i will abstain from divulging in this post since it would actively spoil zep's opinion, but I know that I've talked about it in one or few of my posts here somewhere lol

Ah, mostly I meant this should be LoGH length so every idol gets her day. Or weeks, really. Make it super SoL so I can see what Nana's up to when the cameras are away.

…man, hundreds of episodes of idols would be kinda hellish, wouldn't it? That aside, maybe watching all 26 episodes relatively closeby would make some arcs more obvious. Guess I'll add that to my list or something.
