Idolmaster: Xenoglossia: Difference between revisions

[[File:Xenoglossia.jpg|frame|The classic story of [[Boy Meets Girl|Giant Robot Meets Girl]].]]

 

 

In the world of ''Xenoglossia'', the moon was destroyed over a century ago by an event known as "Lost Artemis". Because of this, fragments of the moon occasionally fall to Earth and must be destroyed before they can cause serious damage. While most countries use missiles to deal with these "Drops", Japan is bound by the [[wikipedia:Three Non-Nuclear Principles|Three Non-Nuclear Principles]] and must instead resort to empathetic [[Humongous Mecha]] codenamed "iDOLs".

While it may seem like the standard fare mecha series at first, it's intertwined with drama from the relationships between the pilots and the mecha.

 

 

* {{spoiler|[[Angsty Surviving Twin]]: Ami, when Haruka first meets her.}}

* [[Beach Episode]]: Episode eight.

* [[Empathic Weapon]] -- The iDoLs themselves sync with a pilot (or two, in the case of Nebula), and their performance depends on how "compatible" they are with each other. However, the pilot has to maintain a relationship with the mecha. Should the pilot treat the iDoL irresponsibly, the iDoL will drop in performance, its trust in the pilot diminished. {{spoiler|The iDoLs are even capable of rejecting an irresponsible or untrustworthy pilot.}}

** The iDoLs are even capable of acting on their own, from small movements to {{spoiler|punching another mech in the face to even an old debt.}}

* [[Exty Years From Now]] -- Averted in the case of "Lost Artemis", the moon's destruction ''107'' years before the series.

* [[Honor Before Reason]] -- In order to deal with the threat of falling rocks from the sky, every other country in the world had equipped themselves with tactical missiles. However, Japan, in order to honor the post-war agreement, decided not to use said missiles, and instead sends girls in giant robots to go up into orbit and ''punch'' the rocks into dust.

* [[Idol Singer]] -- Sort of. Musical terminology is used in conjunction with the mecha to remind viewers of the roots of the series.

** Not to mention Yayoi is an idol before the series even starts (as well as Ami Futami, though she isn't introduced until later on in the series), and Haruka eventually becomes one {{spoiler|due to trying to cheer Imber up and actually being scouted in the process. She still has this job at the end of the series.}}

* [[In Name Only]] -- The show has very, very little in common with the videogame it is based off of.

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Mecha]] -- Considering the source games have nothing to do with mecha.
