Synopsis

Driven by an unwavering passion for becoming an idol, Yu Azuma, a young, ambitious first-year student at Joshu East High School, embarks on a journey to form an idol group. To make her dream a reality, she recruits one girl from each of her region’s four high schools, located to the north, east, south and west, and soon finds her fellow group members.

Joining Yu is Ranko Kashima, a sophisticated second-year student at Holy Teneritas Southern Girls’ Academy, with a distinctive curly hairstyle and admiration for Madame Butterfly; Kurumi Taiga, a student at West Tech Vocational High School, who wears cute, oversized jackets with long sleeves and dreams of winning the championship at a robotics competition; and, Mika Kamei, a student who also hails from Joshu North High School, known for being a kind-hearted girl and for her dedication to volunteering.

With the help of Shinji Kudo, Yu's "collaborator" and confidante, these four young girls set off on the road to stardom. But the journey hides unexpected trials, rigorous demands, setbacks and pressures, threatening to undo all that Yu has worked so hard for.

Just watched this in the theater today. TL;DR, this was a very well-animated idol anime with great songs for a more mature audience (compared to, for example, Love Live or IdolM@ster). Its small flaws come from the fact that it is adapted from a novel, so its running time feels unsatisfying for getting to know the characters, and the drama ramps up very quickly in the second half of the movie then gets resolved relatively conveniently.

Overall score: 8/10
Animation: 9/10. There was some spotty CGI but for the most part everything was very well done, and certain scenes were downright impressive with the way the characters ...

Mixed Feelings
Summary: The story continues flatly without any interesting points along the way. Therefore, I was not able to empathize with the characters. The story then reaches its final phase, but the emotional buildup is weak throughout. Therefore, their actions felt cheap. I think they could have extended the screening time and added more elements.
However, you can meet high school girls and idol who are realistic, even though it is fiction. You can only see this in this movie. After watching the movie, can you empathize with the main character?

People who should watch it: People who like 3D (Real) idols.
People who shouldn't watch it:People who ...

Just watched the movie and it is bad.

First thing that struck me is the pace. The movie feels very rushed. Each character gets introduced and befriended by the MC way too fast. Plot contrivance is a euphemism at this point. Nothing feels really earned. There are some narrated portions doing ellipses in these girls lives that would have actually been really interesting to see and that's the reason why I think this story would have made more sense as a series. You would have been able to show all these interesting moments of bonding and better develop the characters.

Talking about characters, there's basically only one, ...
