Trio of events end at the same time, sending three huge fanbases to the same station.
The Idolmaster
Claims that when you’re drinking a McShake, it’s supposed to feel like you’re nursing, but that can’t be right…can it?!?
Tongue-lashing has fans of Idolmaster, Evangelion franchises thinking they’ve heard that voice before.
And other otaku have a theory about where he learned it.
Or claim all the love for themselves, if they so desire.
The Idolmaster compels otaku and gamers to get to Shinjuku Station at the crack of dawn for some cool free merch.
With a few tweaks, the smash-hit Pokémon mobile game could be the perfect framework for idol-rearing franchises.
Looks like fans and judges are going to have a tough time deciding who to keep and who to let go.
South Korea will receive a live-action drama adaptation of the hit idol video game and anime franchise, with a few significant changes.
Does this character fan art from The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls invoke fairy godmother magic, or is there more to this trick than meets the eye?
Made in Gifu Prefecture, these elegant designs reflect not only modern pop culture, but an umbrella-making tradition that stretches all the way back to the Edo Period.
Longtime fans of video game franchise The Idolmaster celebrate over 10 years of musical idol-rearing fun with comparison pictures of the series’ graphics over time.
