Japanese Net Users mMarvel at the Evolution of The Idolmaster’s Graphics Over the Past 10 Years

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.

The Idolmaster, stylized as THE iDOLM@STER, is a series of rearing/rhythm video games originally released as an arcade game in 2005. Though the franchise has spawned numerous sequels, spin-offs, anime adaptations, and other media tie-ins over the past decade, all of them revolve around the central plot of training prospective pop idols to become stars.

Perhaps it was the release of a still from the upcoming The Idolmaster Platinum Stars game, slated to be released later this year for the PS4, that got fans feeling a bit nostalgic and sharing comparison pictures of the older and newer games online, as in the following tweet.
