Synopsis

Increasing income divide, creeping environmental pollution, unsolvable waste issues, childcare waiting lists being discussed without those concerned, repeated corruption… The government, smeared by vested interests, can't do a thing against the many problems and sources of discontent. It's in this situation, with Japan cornered with no way out, that idols rise up to save the day!

The Heroine Party, Sunlight Party, Starlight Party, Bishoujo Party, Wakaba Party, Subculture New Party, and SOS Party. From these seven idol political parties, the idols who have become National Diet members and representatives for each prefecture will smash through the sense of stagnation covering Japan using the power of song and dance! They'll bring back the smiling faces of the people, and wrap Japan in a glittering aura!!

Idols... in the government? Honestly not a bad idea. Considering that I am from the US and more particularly California, where an empty chair would do a better job than our career politicians who couldn't give a sh*t about much less understand the struggles of the common man, the idea of all those old corrupt and frankly evil individuals being replaced by young and cute Japanese pop stars is more appealing than I'd like to admit.

They'll lower taxes by generating government funds from holding big idol handshake events and bolster education by writing songs that teach kids how to count or whatever. Most importantly they'll ...

I pretty much only cared that Tsunku being involved in this, but the generic VA-voices dampened the quality some.

.:STORY:. (3)

The premise is a lie. This is generic "Cute Idols Doing Cute Things".

Do not bother if your only interest in the show is the possibility of deep and/or legitimate political discourse. Because that doesn't exist. This is a weak, lackluster attempt of standing out amongst the ever-growing idol culture.

I watched Idol Jihen, also known as Idol Incidents. Here are my thoughts:

This anime is about idol girls who are also politicians within the national Japanese legislative system. Despite some mature themes involved, this show basically feels like a Saturday-morning cartoon meant for a child audience.

Aside from these political themes, this feels like a generic formulaic idol show; this anime isn't nearly as creative as it could have been. Regardless, the unusual juxtaposition of idols and politics is silly ...
