I like middled aged men, therefore I am excited.

Thoughts?

i love the fact that they have different backgrounds and age ranges but all want to pursue music despite the lives they have before joining the group.

they're a very unique group, and as someone who likes unique stories for a common concept, i'm all in for them and i can't wait to watch it!

plus, the message of "It's never too late to do what you love" and stuff like that is one of my favorite messages that i hold within me. because it's never too late to do what you love and do the things you want to one day.

i think there's another anime/manga with the same premise but I forgot what it's called. It also has grownups/middle aged men forming an idol group. one of them is a teacher i think. another is a lawyer, and one is a doctor.

Definitely! I love the idea of these guys finding a new path in their lives, considering in Japan they’d be at the point of no return career-wise at their ages lol. Not to mention the main cast is a win x100! All six are legends!

Also, I’ve read the manga and it’s actually really fun, even if it progresses kind of quickly! In example, they’ve already recorded their first MV by chapter 3!

I'm in my 30s so I find it hard to watch and relate to any highschool anime (or otherwise anime that focuses just on young dollish looks), so I am pretty excited for this. I hope someday there can also be a female version too, because there's hardly many 30+ yr old women in anime who don't either look like cutesy children or super voluptuous models... Would be nice to have more realistic and relatable adult characters in anime in general!

Oh you must be talking about Idolmaster SideM! I haven't gotten around to watching that actually, but I remember hearing about that how there is more age diversity in that compared with other idol anime, that made me interested. Though from reading the description it says they are age 24-28, but that is still much better than being teenagers lol.

Just because an anime has a couple dudes in it doesn't make it fujo-bait.

I mean, unless you consider every single anime with two girls to be "yuri bait"...

Idol anime is usually just fanservice for men or women, but not pairings. It's more of a connection from the idol to the viewer.

Why did my comment get deleted???

There was a whole discussion here about whether or not this show is getting localized, which I responded about. What's up with that? Is that breaking the rules somehow?

OMG hi!! You're the one that quoted me! I got an email notification about it and got an error 404 when I clicked it. But yeah. I've been seeing lots of sites talking about this show, and it looks like 4 episodes have already streamed but no announcements of who has picked it up yet. Most places are still saying it has a start date of October 11th I think? So maybe someone will announce it closer to the start. My money is CR or HiDive. I hope its not HiDive but I'm worried they have it.

I thought this was gonna be your regular ol' tv anime that would get picked up by Crunchyroll. But it's 24 15 minute episode series? And not on any steaming platforms with English subs? Have only found RAWs. If it'll be up to someone fan subbing it, I'd be surprised it someone actually did that. This is an original IP right? Not sure how much hype there is for it. I was mildly interested in it, though I wouldn't really be too bummed about missing out on entirely it if it never gets subbed...

It is so depressing that two of my most anticipated anime this season (this & Cool Doji Danshi) are not being subbed by ANYONE. Why won't anyone take pity on us all and be so kind as to do it?
Now I might never be able to watch these and it is so very sad :((
I thought a lot of people were looking forward to these but I guess not, judging from the lack of eng subs.

I was looking forward to seeing this too and the fact that no one picked it up to license it officially is really shocking tbh. Maybe the Japanese studio didn't want it to be released overseas or the other studios just don't think the female audience (which I'm assuming is the show's main target demographic) would be interested. Personally, I want to see more stuff involving an adult cast (something like Ryman Club) since it adds an extra layer of risks/rewards compared to a cast of teenagers (in my opinion at least).

For now though, I'll just wait or maybe see if I can watch the raws for the time being. It's just a a shame since most boy bands/idol groups are in their 30's (possibly older) if they've been successful enough for a long time.
