That was underwhelming. Just idols dancing while we get mediocre animation from the audience. Music seemed average too. One of the idols is kinda cute though I guess:

This was boring for an idol series, an idol anime also is not suited for 8 minute episode lengths. The music is below average, the characters are meh (not one of the idols shown interest me) and the OP animation is garbage and is in very disgusting CG.

If not for the Japanese voice acting, I would seriously mistaken it as a really bad Chinese fan-made animation. Come on, even the least skillful amateur on Niconico made better 3D.

I just watched this for Ume-chan. Despite the fact that I hate idol anime stuff, I still tried to watch this but I'm really sad about this. The animation was weird and the songs were not my type :( I dunno what to feel about this.

Best part of the episode:



The opening is alright for a personal work uploaded to nico or youtube - the arms don't clip through the bodies and there's some finger movement. For a product that's meant to be aired on TV and sold, it's absolutely pig disgusting. The rest of the episode is basically a slideshow.

Even for a short, that CGI in the OP was cringeworthy. Plot isn't looking too bright either. It seemed like Suuko wanted to publicize Itorio just because Ryuu declared not to go to their event anymore and moved on to a new idol. I doubt she enjoyed their concert anyways.

That CGi opening... it was really bad. It looked like it was someones MMD side project that they forgot to finish and just said "Eh, good enough"
Also it didn't help that it cut from traditional animation to the CG with them in the same positions, making it even more jarring than it would have been if they had at least started from a different angle.

Agreed. It makes the Sailor Moon Crystal CG look good in comparison (even though that's not bad on its own, though there's much better CG out there), at least Crystal's doesn't make me cringe at how uncanny it looks.

Looks like it'll just be another idol anime, nothing special. I liked that they took some time at the end to explain some phrases, so there's that.

Basically.

As everyone says, the CG was pretty horrible and the OP and characters were pretty mediocre. But it seems just a little bit different from idols since there's a hikkikomori in it.

The CG models looked awful in the opening sequence. That coupled with the static/clunky regular animation make this a really poor start for this series.

I'm interested in knowing more about the idol girl from the poster in Ryuu's room though. Maybe the story can make up for the poor animation. Maybe.

Well, that was... really bad. Not just the god awful CG, which makes the CG in Love Live look amazing, but everything else is so lacking in energy and just so lame. Very, very underwhelming.

Didn't really like it much. 8 minutes is not long enough for an idol anime. The CGI wasn't good at all and I don't like the art. None of the idols left an impression.

Animation was very poor and opening was a disaster, but overall wasn't so bad. It's refreshing to see something about otaku and idol fans.

Dat animation... It feels like someone fresh out of animator school made this, good lord.

It's not awful, but the animation and the cheapness of it all is pretty off-putting. Idols are neat, though, and it's short, so I'll stick with it.

Hmm, I liked it. After reading these comments, my heart sunk since I'm a huge idol anime fan and was really excited for Million Doll...It was actually pretty cute and interesting, can definitely see more development in later episodes.

Not a big fan of that CG though but I can handle it. Really liked the informational corner at the end too :)

It doesn't mean anything in Spanish.

maricón -> faggot
marica -> fag
Mariko (márico) -> won't even register as a native

It's always foreigners who make weird associations, like the classic "Oishi-san/Mr. Delicious" in Higurashi, which had the Japanese scratching their heads.

The fans dancing like that in sub-par animation scared me as much it scared the other ones in the concert watching. The opening's CG looks straight out from a karaoke song and it's not a good thing lol

Mariko was cute but damn is this really a studio-made anime xD

The animation was unstable, but i think i might stick around.

Those were crazy fans though, Ryuu is a piece of shit.
