That's not the slightest bit cute.
Halfhearted, irresponsible thing-

What happened to niconico?

>>714753774
What didn't...? I'd say the extremely bad management ever since and before KADOKAWA started the comprehensive business alliance with DWANGO in 2010 that completed with a merger in 2014 during which the community was being milked left and right for every penny for premium subscriptions while the site's software was falling behind the modern internet and became almost unusable.
I guess it says a lot that the same guy who runs 4chan now who was the head of Niwango (Dwango's subsidiary) that oversaw Nico Nico Douga left because of how shit the management had gotten lol.... He was quoted several times insulting the management for putting money first over the community during that period. (Meanwhile selling Japanese 2ch userdata to the Japanese LDP and the netuyo breeding grounds lol)
Anyways the resulting shitty management destroyed a lot of communities which merged into existing big one (inmu) that basically shit up the site any chance they'd get which was the culture onward and then all of the trend culture starting in 2014 with the introduction of the smartphone, all of the kids flooding the site without really "lurking" so to say kept eroding what was still left of it (this was a problem over and over again in its history, specifically with 2ch.) It's really a question of what the fuck happened with Japanese internet culture. Nico Nico Douga was after all created initially with BBS culture in mind which included a lot of gatekeeping once that was gone everything else followed suit... There's honestly so many things that can be attributed to its demise like now trying to fucking compete with youtube when it was originally a video sharing website for otakus to share videos with otakus (A lot of the remaining oldfags are terrified of this shift, since Japanese YouTube is basically one giant shithole.)

Gamers are Fucking Immature Assholes
And Here's How

>>714756721
damn bratty gamers

>>714755984
Subete wa chansu desu https://files.catbox.moe/z65my9.mp4 UNEI wouldn't miss a single opportunity to milk money out of people and organize the most cheapest fucking events in the most cheapest venues possible. KADOKAWA was the worst because now instead of shitty management you had even more shittier management but it was a bunch of people from the baby boomer generation not understanding what the fuck nico nico is and trying to please the shareholders as much as possible. I wonder if the development of IM@S 2 reflects what happens when creative decisions start being shaped more by shareholders than by the fans who built the franchise https://project-imas.wiki/Tokyo_Game_Show_2010#9.18_Incident

I can't fucking believe this site is still around https://idolmaster.tdiary.net/20000102.html A bit sad that you can't even discuss them here in these niche circles because no one in the west knows anything about them.

I'm going to marry Ritsuko.

You should check his channel as it's solely dedicated to making tegaki videos about Ritsuko https://www.nicovideo.jp/user/5252889/video

Why? It seems average to me

>>714753259
Done.
>tell me about your favorite part.
All of it. Though I'm impressed with all the video capture and editing, as he would have had to capture all the footage himself off and Xbox 360.

>>714767673
More impressive given the conditions in which he often made these videos. I've seen a video where WakamuraP (the producer of that video) was working on a laptop to demonstrate his video editing abilities for an online interview.
It helps that most creators of that era did things in standard definition, rather than HD, so it lessened the processing burden on atypical, affordable Japanese home PCs of that era.
I can't imagine trying to capture all that footage in a far more barely compressed codec like DivX through a Dazzle video capture device on 120-240GB HDDs, and working off of that.
Really puts into perspective how much we take it for granted, and how much I see artists struggle now with using video proxies on NVMe SSDs.

>>714767330
It's only average to you because you definitely haven't experienced niconico at its best, which I do suggest you lurk, despite the geo-restrictions placed on risque content now. Hell, even the niconico reupload channels are enough of a substitute, despite YouTube raping the hell out of any videos that are below HD resolution post-2013.

>>714768601
The Internet was so much better when high effort Japanese memes dominated. I used to have a collection of Idolmaster MADs saved but I've since lost them.

>>714768601
>I've seen a video where WakamuraP (the producer of that video) was working on a laptop to demonstrate his video editing abilities for an online interview.
There is a translation of that video but for wakamarap (the joke handle associated with high quality gachimuchi IM@S MADs replacing the "mura" part with "mara" as in big penis) https://files.catbox.moe/35w92n.webm

>>714769059
You can just lurk niconico's tags. Yes, the quality is definitely worst than you remembered, because KADOKAWA turned the backend from a faux-file-sharing platform with a video player and channel + subscriptions support into a streaming platform in a vain attempt to open up to mobile users that they have ignored for most of the 2010s.
The transition is like if you try to transition Costco warehouses into Wal-Marts or whatever supermarket you have, with everything that could possibly go wrong.

I kind of wish I could get a bunch of people together to watch the iM@S KAKU-tail Party series which is basically a IM@S MAD video submission event from 2channel that usually featured extremely high quality submissions like >>714765237 >>714763427

Iori is the worst singer I think.

Compared to Nico Nico I can understand but I was talking about japanese YouTube in a vacuum

>>714770364
well yeah her real talent is with another hole

>>714770364
I'm sorry here is a better singer https://files.catbox.moe/cwai05.mp4

>>714755984
The japanese internet does look like its filled with rabid failed normalfags

upppppppppppppppppp

>>714770452
I guess I should clarify that it's a shit-hole in the eyes of a oldfag due to the content differing wildly from nico nico, like especially what gets attention and not, you have now to share the same space with all of the normalfags, whereas on nico nico you could easily filter anything you didn't like and never come in contact with it. You know getting a thousand views on nico nico and Youtube are not the same. The entire part of "a video sharing website by otakus for otakus" meant all of your viewers were, well, otakus, right. Depending on what you produced you knew that the people watching your video were of the higher caliber. Not to mention viewers and creators being split 50/50. A video worth a million views on niconico was like the equivalent of a billion views on Youtube. The site tried to put a great emphasis on the "community" part and tried to recreate the same feeling of BBS discussion meaning you could create a meme on the fly and it would get popular crazy fast depending on the merit it had, but sure, there are some examples of great videos not getting views for whatever reason so not exactly a guarantee.

Have you played IM@S 1 on the Xbox 360? You are going to miss out on playing a bunch of characters in 2...

Ami, Ritsuko, Iori, Azusa

Iori's lucky day

>>714777760
I don't have a 360. I thought of playing the PSP ports of 1 first.
>>714778250
Iori is the only one that hurts from these restrictions though.

>>714778559
>I don't have a 360
You can probably try emulating it on Xenia if you want. There used to be issues when running the game years ago but I believe they are fixed now but I'd still double check with the xenia thread for IM@S before trying anything.

>>714778907
Xenia doesn't run on Linux...
