It was actually fun to watch. I liked the costumes and the parallels to Xenoglossia were kinda neat. 6/10

I liked it because I love the game. >_>
I was happy to see Miki, but the way she was drawn was weird.

I loved it because I knew the other anime who was totally different and now a ova based on the game is what I thought was better

The designs were made to be closer to the original designs from the game series.

I'd wish they used the game plot, rather than the saving the world with mechas used in the anime. I highly enjoyed this, and the character design(Some people have changed ages!) and animation were likable.

A nice little OVA to watch to kill some time, and see a completely different plot for the girls!

Damnit! Don't die without my permission!

It was rather fun, I guess.

Actually, their troubles only occurred because they were a clumsy bunch. Taking along an extra member, getting on a wrong truck, having a dead cell battery, then to be rescued by a helicopter. (laugh)

That's the iDOLM@STERS!!!

I simply watched this OVA because it sparked my interest when I saw the Idolm@ster game featured on the Nico Nico Douga video. Didn't find any interest in it but didn't dislike it either.

I wish it would have shown more of the other idols. And their performance. Oh well. It was still pretty good, 7/10.

There are parallels to Xenoglossia? Will have to figure that out later. I've seen The iDOLM@STER but not iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

I should of watched this before Idolmaster. Then, I wouldn't have to despair over Miki's design in this. But wow, this was terrible. To me, it wasn't fun. It was a 2/10 worth of shit.

Only watched this because I'm already a fan. An interesting piece history-wise, looking back how far the franchise came, how it evolved, from this piece to where it is today*. But that's that: the story is all over the place and it's insultingly bad, especially at the end with Haruka's speech about how they must do everything for their fans. Im@s was always kind of silly but it's a guilty pleasure of mine; watching this, I've felt no pleasure.

*side note: I know about the games, thank you for asking

Not sure how but I confused this with the Idolmasters OVA, of course the art style was weird, it's from 2008 xDDDD

Pretty ok episode, somewhat enjoyable.

This was pretty short, so there wasn't much time to show much, unfortunately.

I was kinda hoping to see them all on stage performing, but that didn't happen.
