| "Someday we'll definitely...fill every seat in this auditorium!" - Best quote from Honoka right there. Damn, I almost teared up when the auditorium is empty, until the girl with glasses came and all future members went to the concert. That's right girls, never give up! It's just the start of it all. Seems like the three first years are forming an idol group. |
| I saw it coming, I really did, but when they opened the curtains and no one was there.... ouch, I felt so bad. Oh god my heart. It had an optimistic end, but man, that moment had more affect on me than any of the forced melodrama in Kotoura-san, good job Love Live. |
| That concert was great. CG was still a little iffy but blended well with normal animation This is the way musicals should be done, with lots and lots of songs xD |
 |
| Damn... This show is just getting better...... Concert scene was awesome...... 4/5 |

Don't get me wrong: I am not foreign to seiyuu pitches, and how high they can go. However, that glasses girl (who looks trashy, might I add) and silver haired idol (don't care what her name is; if she's worth knowing I would know her name) sound like someone chipmonked their already high pitched voice. Bah. On the plus side, I liked the music and visuals. Black twin-tailed tsundere loli looks like she'll be my favorite. But of the 3 current idols, Mio 2 takes the cake. The other two are ****-tier idols. Ladies and gentlemen, we have ourselves a critic. Judging anime idols must be a prerequisite for being the next Simon Cowell. ^ this, but I have to agree that Mimori as Umi-chan's Seiyuu has the best singing voice so far. I can tell that she is suppressing her singing to be in the same tune with others. Not to say others are bad, but Mimori's vocal ability is definitely better. If I were Simon Cowell, I would pick her :D |

| at least they will have 100% success rate in geting people who came to event to join the group :3 kind of predictable concert but nice in showing they are serious and will fight great/adorable show so far |
| That was a very nice episode. Shame they didn't have a big audience at first, but I know they'll do better later on. Very nice performance regardless. My opinion of this show has turned around somewhat despite the fact that I still don't have a lot of care for any of the characters. |
| I thought it was great. I love this show. |

My opinion of this show has turned around somewhat despite the fact that I still don't have a lot of care for any of the characters. It's a musical, not a drama so I don't care much as long as it keep being cheerful, care-free and have good musics. |

| Didn't notice in the ED the girl with the black pig tail during the piano part was cute as hell. radle said: KingCez said: iI FUCKING LOVE IDOLS!!!~~ haha! I'm with you! AKB, Aikatsu! and this. You left out IM. :x |

 |
| Those empty seats broke my heart SO MUCH. Well their show was really good, better than I expected actually.I'm a fan. My favorite character is Kotori ლ(๑ʘДʘ๑)ლ |
| this episode was so cute （´ω｀♡）even though every other episode from here on out is gonna be cute. oh well, it works for the show. and their song was nice, even if i'm not an idol fan. umi's singing-voice is really great even though she was the one who was worried the most. she's definitely my fav ♡ (even though i love honoka and kotori as well) |
| Are there going to be more girls singing in the idol group - or is it just going to be those 3? Anyway, who do you guys think is the best or worst singer? I loved Umi's voice, but, on the other hand, Kotori's voice was terrible. It sounds so childish. |
"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |
| I'm more and more suprised how i enjoy this anime. It makes me smile, feel sad and it left hearthwarming feeling at the end. |
| Quite enjoying this anime. There's actually progression... |

I noticed the voice change too. But my feelings are much much much less enthusiastic than yours. "meh" |
| knew it wouldn't go as well as they thought but when it was completely empty all i could do was ;_; |
 |
| I really want them to succeed :) glad the producers make us feel this way |
 |
| So far the director is doing a good job. Honoka is energetic, and bit clumsy, but she shows a lot of energy and optimism. I really admire her for that. That's the start of their new idol adventure, and I'm gonna have fun watching them go through hardships and fun moments. Go girls! |

| I figured they might fail or something and that will show their true determination, but it was still saddening anyway. Still, the performance (for the few that watched it) was great, as if it wasn't their first performance. It sounded great, and I really liked the choreography. I thought they would fill the whole episode preparing for the concert, but I'm glad it wasn't so. Interested to see what happens next. 5/5. |
 |
| I really enjoy their song. You know it's a good idol show when you enjoy the opening and their first serious song. Too bad about the auditorium, I figured they'd have maybe gotten ten random people that weren't in the opening but no, not even some stock face characters. But, ground up. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Good Episode,I really enjoyed their performance the song was good even though only a few came for their concert. Can't wait for next week's episode Possibly New Members |
edl01 said: God damn you legalities, I had no clue crunchyroll was two days behind on this show. I wish that they would be moreopen in saying when there shows are like that :S Out of curiosity can anyone tell me if any more of crunchy's shows this season are delayed on streaming? I believe Vividred Operation is delayed. That is all I am aware of. |

| I think the animation was better than the 3D. It looked atrocious. Well I did not like it. In general 3D is kind of lame. It’s a easy way out of effort in general. So I kind of liked when they switched from 3D to anime and all. Back then you go to Macross the first movie and the Frontier, don’t get me wrong each series has its power points but to the most all know Macross the first movie took much more effort in drawing it than using any computerized stuff. Suffice to say this all is part of my rant. If anyone also noticed the 3D jumped by over 50% usage in series this season and who knows how much more will be used. That being said I still think the 3D is killing the anime world. Somewhat. I must admit that UMI in the following,  Got over exaggerated but exposed nicely in terms legs. |

| good start for their debut as idol.. is it just me that love kotori voice? (maybe i got "squeaky voice" fetish.. lol) but i love all starting member.. especially umi-chan.. |
 |
Elite60 said: Well, you gotta start somewhere and their first performance wasn't half bad at all. Just need more exposure. umm no. This isn't your ecchi anime, if you want exposure go watch some queen's blade or something.. Anyways this was a great episode. I felt bad when nobody showed up, but later on they started coming, even though it was a very few of them. And what it looks like to be the future members of U's, minus the 2 girls that were helping out. It was a great performance for it to have been their first live concert. Which means they are really talented. It sure makes me nervous for them, and then happy for them, which means the anime has gotten my full attention. Love it. And yeah I agree, the outfits were cute! Well looking forward next episode! |
 |
| Off too a good start.... |
 |
| That scene with the empty auditorium...arghhhh...my heart. |
 |
| Oh man ... That was sad in one side. |
 |
| Our blonde student council president is looking like a antagonist here She and the vice-prez will probably the last ones to join the group. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing all the group members assemble and perform live. |

| Dat CG is KILLING ME . But the emotions were strong imo and I like how this is going so I'll keep watching . |
 |
| Oh my god, the students were so stupid to not attend the concert. Their performance was so damn good! WTF LOL! I really like how Honoka is a very cheerful and energetic character. Umi reminds me of Mio from K-ON! a lot. xD The singing and song itself was so good. Looks like the girls who actually showed up to the concert will be joining the idol group. Can't wait for the school council president joins. :D |
 |
| It was sad to see the auditorium so empty :( but at least they did have a small audience. Their performance was great and Honoka's voice is really nice ;~; I'm excited for Hanayo to join, looks like she will next episode. |
| umi acts so much like mio from k-on! |
| If only their school had boys. They would have fill the room just to see them in their short skirt idol outfits.^_^ Still though kind of strange no one else got interested from all those brochures. It's not like they would have waste much time to simply go and see a song. gigglingidiot said: Are there going to be more girls singing in the idol group - or is it just going to be those 3? Anyway, who do you guys think is the best or worst singer? I loved Umi's voice, but, on the other hand, Kotori's voice was terrible. It sounds so childish. Of course they will be more girls singing, didn't you see the op? Japanese seems to like those silly high pinch voices for some reason though. Just look at the craziness around Miku from vocaloid which in all honestly her voice is terrible close to a good singing voice like the one playing Umi for example. And yeah Umi seems to have the most powerful strong voice. MoonxArtemis said: Elite60 said: Well, you gotta start somewhere and their first performance wasn't half bad at all.

| To bounce back from the sight of a non-existent crowd takes courage. Their performance of start:dash was really great, the lighting helped a lot. |
| too bad they didn't have many audiences.. though the performance is awesome !! |
 |
| This was done really well. I didn't expect the auditorium to be completely empty except for some "stalkers". Kotori's voice was way too high imo, to the point of not feeling real anymore. I'm looking forward to more of this as it's very entertaining. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Is it just me, or do half of the parts of their dances look like MMD? When it gets to a long shot (wide shot) or extreme long shot (at any angle), it seems to use some kind of MMD program. Example of an iDOLM@STER MMD-ish thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW52Berp0aM |
| The performance was fantastic and I loved it! Its just too bad that their audience really didn't show up. Been listening to some μ's songs and I've gotta say I really like their works. |
 |
| Amazing outfits, amazing dance, amazing song, and amazing episode! VanishingKira said: I was all hyped for their first performance but when the curtains open and their was no one in the audience I was heart broken and nearly cried. I feel ya, I feel ya, that scene was very well done. |
 |
| I was expecting the audience to be almost empty but noone at all? That's just sad. Nevertheless, the show must go on. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Loved the performance , a small taste of things to come ... |
 |
| Loved the performance. Episode was really good. |
