Not really suprised that Sonoda Umi's VA was Himiko in Gruesome & Insanity anime, BTOOOM!.

Amen to that!

Also do you know that I found out that during dance sequence which it's transformed into CGI? It's just came out-of-nowhere especially the ED sequences! Where was I? Tiger & Bunny?

Easiest way to get my attention: cute girls doing cute things. Top it off with a catchy soundtrack and you've got yourself something that can hold my attention for a while. I'm just a little iffy about Honoka not being visually appealing. Hopefully something can change my mind.

I really enjoyed the characters and music especially the piano scene with Maki. It was also super cute when Umi was daydreaming about being an idol during her archery practice.

The CG is killing me though. ;_;

When the UTX girls were singing, did the song remind anyone of SNSD (Girls' Generation)? Or is it just me?


I actually thought the same thing as well. The song is really catchy though!


I remember what song it reminded me of! The song that the UTX girls were singing sounded a lot like SNSD's Genie before it goes to the chorus!

This series is pretty promising!

It has a good range of music and has a very nice soundtrack. I particularly enjoyed the first 26 seconds of the episode.

The characters are nice and likeable. More characters with different interests forming together a school idol group should be interesting.

So far:

Art/Animation: 10/10
Story: 9/10
Characters: 10/10

The animation made by Sunrise is quite good and I will be paying close attention to the dance moves and camera actions showing various idol groups such as A-Rise, seeing how Sunrise will be approach this series, with it being so far so good.
Story is pretty interesting, seems very familiar with K-On, Tari Tari and other series.
Characters so far have only introduced three and the rest will soon be introduced. For one episode, I liked how they quickly showed the friendship bond that Honaka, Umi and Kotori have shown in the time skip reinforced by their support to Honaka's idea in forming a school idol group.

Looking foward to the rest of the episodes! :D

5/5

It's no idolm@ster but I'm digging the vibes of the show. The songs by the main girls shown were pretty good as well, and I love Honoka's personality.

Overall, I look forward to seeing future eps. From what I've seen it looks to be one I'll enjoy. That is, as long as they keep the CG to a minimum. That ending dance/singing sequence hurt my eyes >_>

It's going to take a lot more than that and shiny ever-blushing moe girls with retardedly short skirts to keep my interest.

Meh, the basic story is okay but the CG's are really awful and their singing voices seem heavily edited and feel out of place as if it's even a different vocal actor. Idolm@ster did it lots better with those.

I really like music rap is excluded since it isn't music and this show had presented/executed it well to my liking. OP and ED were excellent.

Decided to watch it. The opening was nice... well... their outfits were anyways.

I like the idea of the anime but the ending of this episode was completely retarded imo. I could see the dance to come since it was done in the beginning as a intro but what a random ass time to do it and didn't go with the scene at all.

Overall, I think this is just gonna be...the cute moe all girl version of high school musical or glee. Lmao.

Off to Ep 2.
