More in-depth review of Gravure for You! as a whole

Gravure for You! Vol. 3 is a perfect game for snowy days. This one is pretty much a mix of Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, we have a snowy outfit in the city streets and a new bikini on the beach making it the first of the 3 to have two different locations in a single entry, yeah we are kinda craving for content...
Other than that nothing new outside of a different BGM selection (and a really good one at that), the PV for Vol. 4, and a new Ami Loading song but this time on the street, I wonder when they'll stop with that joke.

Now for the new episodes, episode 6 was quite good, it was pretty much the first one that tried to push the plot forward and kinda tried to have some drama with the producer and the girl, it was interesting.
Episode 7 was one of the lesser ones, it focused on Iori visiting Yayoi's poor family and pretty much the generic "Rich girl realizes that poor people are normal" and has been done countless of times, not bad but not really interesting though it has Ohayou!! Asagohan so it gets a pass.
Episode 8 was godlike, such a fun episode through and through, it really made Azusa stand more as a goofy character than just the big-breasted one of the bunch, this show really shines with the comedy and it honestly really wasn't what I was expecting out of this show, if anything I was expecting a somewhat generic Idol group creation story like Love Live but it turned out much better.

Again, for 10$ it does the job as a Gravure game.

Out of playing the first 3 G4U games, this one definitely has the most content, though honestly that's not really saying much. The main theme this time around is winter apparel, with a new townscape to take pictures with. The idols don't really have many poses with their winter clothes on and they all pick from the same pool, so picture opportunities are the slimmest as they ever have been in that mode. To make up for it, there is also a beach swimsuit option in this volume, so that's basically the entirety of volume 1 added in here as a bonus. I would say that's enough content to make this worth a try but honestly I still think the poses and control freedom is still way too limited for it to be worth a rec outside of anyone but the sanest idolmaster fans (me).
