iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia Specials

These specials consist of 9 episodes with varying runtimes between 2-7 minutes each and in total last for about the duration of 2 normal anime episodes. These episodes are all slice of life moments based on different points in time during the show, but also consist of a good amount of character interactions and traces of lore from events in the show. The girls come in pairs of 2 each and they engage in casual banter as well as further fleshing out some relationships and individual character stories seen in the show.

The visuals for the most part consist of photographs and a few seconds long ... portions of animation with the characters talking over them. It's almost presented in a voiced visual novel format without the usual VN elements for sub watchers.

The final episode serves as an epilogue to the main series and is properly animated, but is unfortunately the shortest of the specials just giving you a just quick look at where the characters ended up following the end of the series. You're not missing too much if you don't want to watch them, but if you liked the main show, aren't gravely offended by brazen fanservice, and wouldn't mind more slice of life engagement with the girls why not watch it I say.
