| so with how all the forum posters hate Mayu and she was kicked out of the old idol group... we can assume she was caught on camera holding hands with a guy or something right |
 |
| >Walks into room >Places bikini on the table >instructs girls to wear them I like this Sudou guy. |

| not a bad starting ep :) i like their song ^_^ wasn't as good a start as idolmaster but i still see promise in it haha looking forward to hearing more of their songs ^^ also dat ending lmao |
RyanSaotome said: so with how all the forum posters hate Mayu and she was kicked out of the old idol group... we can assume she was caught on camera holding hands with a guy or something right I would guess it's something to do with her mother by all the comments. After all she hasn't told her mum and only seems to talk to her grandmother. I thought this was a pretty good start, although you really need to have watched the movie first. The dancing was well animated and as far as I can tell they didn't resort to 3D models. |
 |
| Well, this sure will be an interesting watch. No magical skirts here. |
 |
| What a pile of dogshit. |

| I wasn't expecting all the panty shots during that song at the end. And why does Sudo look like a weird pimp? |
| I am not interested in the quality of the animation, the debut song is good, the first episode was powerful, and if it keeps this direction, I'll really enjoy rating an idol show at last. |
| Wasn't expecting panty shot. Well, it is my first real idol-themed series, so I didn't really know what to expect haha, but I quite like it nonetheless. Also like their debut song, really nice. |
alexpte said: A bland start, though I did enjoy the concert Magito said: WTF!? Did I see someone wearing no pantsu or my eyes playing tricks on me??? Unfortunately, it's just some nicely colored panties http://i.imgur.com/u3sZITO.jpg It's a very light pink color pantsu, but pantsu nonetheless. I think the stage lighting made the pantsu appear as if the girl had none, oh but nice choices of pantsu by the girls lol. As for the episode itself it was pretty good. Matsuda lacks confidence, but hopefully once he forms a bond with the girls he'll begin to grow as a better manager than that old hag. Mayu appears to be having issues in telling her mom she's an idol again as she has mixed feelings on how her mother will react. Although hopefully there's more info on why Mayu left 1-1 Club, and it's sad to see she's back on the bottom starting from scratch with random girls forming an idol group. I see chemistry with the girls nonetheless. |

| I liked Kannagi, Fractale, and Black Rock Shooter to a certain extent. This is alright so far, animation is great though. The OP and ED are probably unfinished. The OP is just scenes from the special. The ED is a few pictures with a filter applied. |
 |
| For the people complaining about the panty shots, they were intentional, unless it wasn't mentioned in the TV episode, the movie version clearly states they were planning to give them panty shots as service. |
| Thoughts: 5:30 who knows where that earpiece has been 6:09 that metal shelf where the tv is standing on… I actually have that same one. I'm as alone as him... 19:40 lols @ dat fat fanboy. Why do they always look the same? 23:57 in the preview, the shorter girl on the right sounds a lot older than she looks ----------- Overall: 1. Right from the start & just by looking at it, the anime felt darker than previous idol animes. It felt serious in a way, which was attractive. The colors aren't 'super bright & happy', which are huge turn-offs (e.g. Aikatsu or The Idol Master) 2. I almost never watch idol type anime because hearing a bunch of girls or guys singing together just sounds way too dam happy, cheerful and shit like that (if they sang a dark theme, then I would reconsider). 1-3 voices are fine, but 4 or more is just annoying. 3. OP song is just ok. I wouldn't listen to it 10 times in a row tho. ED song put me to sleep. Like I was at some some 5 year old's piano recital. 4. The voice acting, graphics & music were very good just like in any anime. Characters are just ok for now. The story WAS BORING AS HELL. They're just coming back together in episode 1, so can't expect much to be told here. But since I see more good than negative, I'll keep watching. i'm a guy. I watch for the plot, not the panty shot...lol. Ep1: 4/10 |

| Cool first episode, the introduction was already been done by the movie. The only thing that bug me about the ep was the constant reuse of material of the movie, let´s hope this doesn´t happen in next episode! |
| Hmm. First time I'm watching an idol-themed anime. Probably shouldn't start with this, but oh well. I noticed someone said something about this being a little darker than some other idol anime, so I'm going to keep some hope it's not too bad. Not the greatest first episode sure, but the movie was decent as an intro, and this expanded on it nicely that way. |

If you're not positive on CR, all you do is get down voted. Comparing the two is out of the question. Also, people can express their opinion... It wasn't great. |

| I'm really glad I watched the little preview movie piece first. I think I'd be a little lost with them flashing back to the president if I didn't see that. Hmmm, looks like I1 is going to try stepping into their territory, ah? Interesting. I guess they'll have to handle that, as well as whatever they'll do about these bathing suits. |
| Need to get around to the movie before I watch the next episode. |
 |
| It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, it was decent enough and the last music was entertaining, at least for me it was. Lets see what comes next. |
HAITENAI!!!! |
 |
| Actually it was better than Love Live. But only if people can keep Yamakan's mouth shut... |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| That was a good summary of the movie. Well kind of sub-par compared to the movie, but I'll be sticking around regardless :D |
| My second idol themed anime and I love this so for. Currently at my #2 right behind Sakura Trick. Just realized that the members of Wake Up, Girls! and their seiyuus share the same first name. |

But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| I had a feeling that it was going to be darker than other anime. I liked it more as I kept watching. The citizen kane poster was so random though. lol Miyu is really adorable! I haven't watched the movie yet so I think I'll go and do that. |
| what is a person with SAD to do.. |
| guess i should watch the movie since i felt a little lost in this episode.. it wasn't too bad though, i'll keep watching |
 |
| At least it isn't CGI. |
| Am I weird if I actually sat down and enjoyed the pilot? Granted I've heard of this director's history, but considering that I actually enjoyed Kannagi, I'm hoping that I get to enjoy this, regardless of the person/people behind it, or at the very least I hope he keeps it together long enough for the entire series to be decent. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| was confused on what to watch first when i DL them today movie was decent thank god dance wasn't CG,first episode was aright not sure where all this hates coming from though. always end up watching at least one idol show a year even though i don't even listen to actual ones or care about it to some extent lol. |
 |
| Lol at the ending! :) I'm liking this series so far. |
| Hmm it was okay. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I find this a lot better than Idolmaster or Love Live. The performance animation is also fluid and not CGI (a big plus). The song is better than anything Idolmaster have offered too. I can't help but laugh at the people who dropped this because of panty shots (even though there's an explanation for it). Go fucking watch the special first before commenting, dumb ass! Miyuu's seiyuu is really cute tho... |

| The panties aren't unnecessary, that is specifically how they are trying to appeal to people early on. It is like people didn't actually watch the goddamn show. Life isn't your pure Idolm@ster world, sorry. |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| OK, I'm not a fan of the director or something but when i feel a series is good then i'll say it as it is. The first episode is really interesting and i love how all of the girls has a very REALISTIC personality yet still different from one another. I watch idolm@ster, while that one's art is sooo much better, this one feels like, feels like it has a soul, and a characters that my sister or my girl friends could relate to, well then, nice episode, i hope the director won't fuck it up in the future episode. |
| I saw the art at first I was like "meh so poor" but it grew on me towards the end of the episode, I liked the dancing, pantsu shots ~ I'm watching this cause I really loved Love Live! so hoping this is gonna be a good idol anime, I'm sure though It won't be as good as LL cause of the art but It seems enjoyable enough for me so far :) |
| Do like the cast better than Love Live and Idolmaster, but I usually don't watch idol animes, so that doesn't say much. Also liking the starting point. |

| I'd said Yamakan is my waifu, if it wasn't blasphemy against our Lord Saviour. |
 |
| Miyu is already my favorite. Not "savior" material but decent. |
