Three more eps ~ it isn't a season 2 but I've been dieing for more of the anime. Ep 26 had me laughing the whole time.

$75 for a psp game though? That's a little odd considering SP even at it's first release was only about 3k yen (so about $37). Plus with IM@S 2 getting a platinum release in two months you can get a copy for under $55 now.

Its probably that expensive due to the anime episodes. They generally run like 30-40 bucks a piece in the volumes after all.

Scamco at work. I think I'm just going to wait until the game gets a re-release at a cheaper price point. Like you know a greatest hits copy since SP and all the other games got one a year or two after it's first release.

My guess is SF isn't big enough to make another season to promote the games. (which is what the anime was since im@s 2 came out for the ps3 during it's run along with all the G4U! vols) Which is why we're just getting ovas instead.

Cinderella girls is getting it's own manga and now we're getting a manga based off the anime for im@s.

I'm guessing that the next "big" game in the series is when we'll get more ovas or a second season. They need something to tie in to the anime or make DLC out of.

The original price for SP was 5040 yen. Were you quoting the greatest hits version price?

So, 5980 yen isn't that terrible since games range from the 5000 yen mark to 6000 yen or so.

^ that's for im@s 2, It's $52.90 without shipping, if you get Fedex or EMS it's like $10-$15 added on to it.

ah I thought SP was kinda cheap right off the bat since you can't find the first release copy online anymore.
