This took ages. Further respect for people who scan. I scanned at max res on my scanner (600 DPI) then resized all the images to 1200px maintaing aspect ratio. I still have the original 4~k px images that weigh in about 4MB each if those are necessary to typeset, if people/someone want them.

>>147579925
I read( not literally) through and am a little confused. I think Iori has thralled Takane? I'm not sure.
but Takane is cute so I bought it.
I've got a doujin about Tamaki and Hinata as (I think) Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, Chihaya and Haruka sitting in P's lap, and something about Yayoi and Chihaya which I don't think I've even actually flipped through.
I used my iron and a hand towel and debinding it wasn't very difficult, but the whole process takes a bunch of time. I think I'll get all 4 scanned, just...eventually.
>>147579930
Kirari I'm hugging you!

I was trying to look for the legendary idol named Sayu and came up with this:

With all the songs that Miki has had in the recent years from Live Theater albums and Master Artist 3...how could you forget?
>>147583876
If they did, I don't know about it because I have no clue which songs belong to them, as I have never listened to MM.
>>147583990
Not them but it's not hard to google "idolmaster morning musume".

>>147583848

>>147583918
I honestly have no clue. Whenever I hear her sing, I always think "Wow, she's really fucking good," because I just always forget that she's a great singer. Generally I always remember which idols are fantastic singers and which ones aren't, but I always forget about Miki.Also, why do my captchas keep malfunctioning fuck
>>147584073
Well, I don't wanna so there.

Are there two minute cuts of any Cinderella Master songs that ended up being better than the full ones?
>>147585732
Let's go Happy!
>>147585732
Naked Romance.
I realize that "LOL GUITAR SOLOS OUTTA FUCKING NOWHERE" is kind of a meme here. And I personally don't mind them, but some songs just don't fit at all. The SS cut of Naked Romance did away with that and the song flows much better now.
>>147585732
I like the shorter version of Romantic Now than the CM.
>>147585805
>Cinderella Master songs
>>147585625
It will never use the anime version. No chance whatsoever.
>>147585915
And yet they still keep the guitar solos in some of the cuts even when they aren't needed.
> Asuka piling on the praise for Arisu's name in the Cool jewelries 3 drama track
Okay, she's pretty good.
>>147585997
The anime version is like 1:30 minutes long and it worked well enough.
The average game cut of songs is about 2:00 to 2:30 minutes long. They can make a new cut that doesn't suck.
>>147586275
It was to be expected.
>>147586310
By anime version, I don't mean the length. The song itself was re-recorded for the anime. The "ai wo komete zutto utauyo" doesn't have the same impact in the original CM track.
>>147586146
Except in the cut for Absolute NIne, it ends up making the song worse because the chorus literally repeats itself twice in a row without a bridge inbetween, which is horrible somg structure; which isn't to say that there aren't any songs composed like that, but it's still uncanny when we know how the fI'll version goes. There's also an obvious gap from the missing bridge in between the repeating chorus, and it absolutely breaks the powerful flow of the song.
Either way, SS is a musical rhythm game, and for the most part, we're playing the game to play a beat map to some music, instead of actively listening to the song anyway. There's nothing wrong with playing to an instrumental solo.
What are the predictions for this event?
>>147587061
Follow the punmaster.
https://twitter.com/cindere_border
>>147587061
I predict that you're not getting Mayu.
No one here is getting Mayu, actually.
>>147587110
I couldn't remember the link, thank you.
>>147587146
Joke's on you, I'm cozily sitting in the top 5K with 30K points.
I'm trying this hard for the training tickets though.
>>147587436
>for the training tickets
What a silly reason.
>>147587436
>I'm trying this hard for the training tickets though.
For what purpose.
>>147587146
Good.
I think I'm going to die if I play anymore. I honestly just want this event to end so I can see if we keep Master+ or not, since they had it for Saite Jewel.
>>147587515
>>147587519
I mean of course getting the main card is the main reason but I could still get it by simply playing efficiently, barely making use of stamina bottles. I need the training tickets to level up SSR's skills.
>>147587146
I'm well above the T5 prediction and I've been playing inefficiently as hell and still have full stamina pots with 15 more in my present box. How anyone manages to not rank and still deal with this endless pile of stamina potions without just not playing the game is beyond me.
Would the event have been more competitive if Karen was the rank reward? So far, the event has been pretty laid back.
Does almost noone here like Mayu?
>>147587687
You're far better off playing during a Caravan or Live Party in hope of Rs.
Halfway through skill levelling SSRs, you'll reach a point where you can't get 100% with trainers.
>>147587687
>need
Uh...
>>147587730
Tons of people like her. Why?
>>147587730
I like Mayu enough to search for her doujins on exhentai, but not enough to actually play mobamasu or deresute.
How big is your StaDri pile in Deresute anons?
>>147587707
Border bots are predicting about the same as last event.
>>147587845
Very small. I always overshoot and spend a lot of stam drinks every event.
>>147587707
This has been easily the hardest Groove so far, maybe you're just playing harder than usual.
>>147587730
I like her voice, that's about it.
>>147587845
6 30s, 6 20s, 6 10s, 2 Fulls
I wish I had 6 full stams.
>>147587845
99+ in present box
10/10/10/6 for +30/+20/+10/MAX respectively in my actual inventory. I regularly spend +20s for events though. But those are easy to gather back thanks to Chihiro's daily missions.
>>147587730
I don't like her enough to slog through a groove event for.
>>147587730
I like Mayu in a sexual sort of way.
>>147588046
>99+ in present box
For what reason.
>>147588148
He says he regularly spends 20s, so all 10s and 30s should be just gathering in there.
>>147587783Between Rs, SRs and SSRs I have +280 idols, I leave the other 20 slots for the N rewards after a song and then use them to level up other cards.
I know I can't reach 100% with only training tickets but I have a few SSR dupes, plus lots of SRs, from the last few limited gachas.
>>147588243
>I have +280 idols
Are you that one guy who said he must keep 2 of each event card?
>>147587845
10 of 10/20/30 and 6 Max. And 99+ in the box (like 5 or 6 about to expire that I'll rageuse in the last hour of the event).
>>147588148
It's the same deal with Mobamasu. Play the game long enough and you'll end up with more StaDri than you know what to do with.They're war bonds for the great Dooky War. It probably won't be tomorrow, but you know it's coming.
>>147588237
Nah, there are lots of permanent +20s there too. I usually just spend the timed StaDri you get from missions.
![001[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wFLMzqb.jpg "001[1].jpg")
>>147587730
I've fapped to her more than any other CG thanks to this doujin and I like her voice but ever since I got her SSR something about it has made her seem off putting.
I still read her commus and find them enjoyable but her SS model just doesn't look that good to me for some reason. I guess she gives me a feeling so complicated.
>>147588341
Nope, I only keep the one with the highest star. I might have a bunch of dupes from Caravans since I already have 15 stars SRs for every type.
>>147588489
I'm proud to own a physical copy of this doujin.
>>147588341
Not that anon, but I have two of almost every event card and I'm currently sitting at 292/300. I would buy more inventory space, but the game won't let me.
>>147588451
>They're war bonds for the great Dooky War. It probably won't be tomorrow, but you know it's coming.
I respect you a lot but I'm not going to let you win.
>>147588451
Make sense.
If there's an event where one of my favourites are ranking, I'll just probably tap into my jewel reserves.
>>147588575
Then how do you have that many cards? Do you keep around Rs and Ns when you have SRs or higher of the same girl?
>>147588648
You can simply ditch one card each to fix that.
>>147588104
!
>>147588765
>Do you keep around Rs and Ns when you have SRs or higher of the same girl?
You don't?
So...is your idol team Callie/Aori or team Marie/Hotaru?
>>147588695
Nips will beat both of you anyway, so calm down.
>>147588765
Yuko's N+ has a god damn sexy tummy. I'd never get rid of that card, same with others I really like.
>>147588842
If the available space wasn't limited, I would, but at 300 tops, why would I?
>>147588958
Yuko's N+ is edgy.
All those belts, buckles, zippers and chains could potentially give Nino and Limited SSR Rin a run for their money.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised that they also didn't tear up parts of her outfit.
>>147588765
I play with Blue Napoleon from time to time and they are all Ns, same with a bunch of other N units. I don't keep the ugly looking cards like R Koume.
>>147588862Marie for life
>>147588842
Why would you?
>>147589170
You're an ugly looking card, nerd.
>>147587730
I like herano
>>147589187
SR Sachiko looks better than her SSR for example. Valkyria Minami and Aiko are great. I like school uniform Dookie better than her SSRs.
And I don't know there are many reasons to keep those cards.
>>147589503
I can understand saving SRs, but not Rs and Ns.
>>147589503
I was talking about Rs and Ns initially. Most of those have terrible art to begin with.
>>147589503
Not them but I keep or trash them on a case by case basis. Some cards there is /no/ reason to keep them since the higher rarities are a straight upgrade in looks. Some N's look a really good.
Just because someone says they don't keep them, you shouldn't assume they don't make some exceptions.
>>147589597
It's based strictly on designs and outfits you want to see on low 2D or your room. Also legit units like Blue Napoleon like the other guy said.
Simple as that.
>>147589745
Pretty much this. Keep the ones you especially like and throw away the rest.
This is essential as you can't buy space beyond 300. Which doesn't actually make much sense, but nothing we can do about that.

I always keep it capped at 10/10/10. I also have 4 max stams (3 regular, 1 valentine day choco) and present box is at 99+, but it's probably something ~60.
It's like a rainy day fund. Just use up expiring stams and it's more than enough to rank T3.
All 300 of my idols are actually star rank 5 normals of the same girl.

This is the only way to play the game.
You guys don't keep every card of your waifu?
>>147589920
Nice
>>147589745
I never said I kept every single N or R though, I too get rid of R Koume every time I get her for example or some of the old hags I don't like. I don't see why I shouldn't keep around the ones I like only because I have her SR or SSR.
>>147590002
That's a different story.
>>147590076
You will have to get rid of some of them when you hit 300.

>I never said I kept every single N or R though
Fucking casual
>>147590137
I don't have 300 cards I can't get rid of.
>>147590002
Easier said than done.
>>147590254
But you will. Unless you don't roll or play in events.

Nobody ever told you you couldn't, did they?
>he doesn't have his waifu's SSR
>>147590482
You can't do anything to make me suffer more than I already am.
>>147590351
But I never said I like every single card, I don't keep cards I don't like and if they are not going to be useful for my units then I'd feed it to another idol when the time comes. I already have the Album if I want to look at it.

>his waifu has a SSR
>>147590482
One day.
>>147590608
I'm talking mostly about people like >>147588243 and >>147588648 who're closing in on 300. They will have to remove some soon or it'll become impossible to get new cards.
If you're not there yet, it's all good.
>>147590482
But I do.

Who is that supposed to be?
