| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A big performance and thank you from the male idol group for the finale. Pretty predictable but fitting. It seems they have a huge fanbase now since their premiere and it's probably going to grow more and more. Eh, the show was okay but I couldn't get invested into most of the characters. Wish this was 2-cour. |
 |
| It was a bit fan service'y. I kinda liked this series more than I thought I would because it had some nice little short arcs for the characters (most of them anyway) in addition to the slice of life/comedy stuff. But those were all wrapped up by the end, so it mostly just felt like an episode of fan service and reiterating all the character motivations and stuff from before. But it wasn't terrible. Didn't really "ruin" the series for me and I still had a nice time with it. |
| I'm kind of mad that this series completely lacked performances for an idol show. But it delivered on the finale. And it actually looked nice compared to CGI performances from other shows.. cough cough. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Finale was okay. Not much happened outside of just a whole lot of concerting. Would've liked 26 episodes since there was essentially no plot outside of the looming concert and Kaoru being a bitch, so it never really hit the same emotional highs as Animas and CG. Still the most consistent of the three, tho. |
 |
| It was an amazing finale to me. As a person who has grown to love the cast as the show went on, I felt really proud seeing everyone's hardwork in all aspects such as practicing for the concert, building friendships & awesome relationships with fellow idols as well as changing themselves for the better, come to fruition. PLUS! I got to hear new songs from the different units that were so catchy I'd wanna download them asap! It was an enjoyable episode indeed. I have definitely fallen in love with SideM & I'm hoping for a season 2 soon!!! :) |

| Really loved the finale! Wish this was 2 cour, so we could have seen more character development. As someone who can't stand the regular The iDOLM@STER anime, Side M was a step in the right direction for people like me. Hope we get to see more Side M in the future! Overall 8/10! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| UGH I have so many feels and I don't know what to do with them. QuQ Season 2 plsplspls 10000000000/10 <3 |
 You have been blessed by sparkly bishie Cherry Blossom <3 You're welcome ^^ |

I just want a second season with best boi Saki all the 315 pro idols, but overall this was a pretty nice closing episode, last performances were nice and seeing that this is merely the first stepping stone for 315 pro gives me high hopes that I will see more of them in the future, now we just wait for a season 2 or some OVA with all the 315 pro idols to be announced :> |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| Woah both Love Live Sunshine and Idolm@ster decided to make EFFY's composed OP songs as the main attraction for both! Surprisingly enjoyed this season than expected. They did surprisingly well despite the high number of characters, the songs were awesome as well. I hope we get a second season sooner and everyone's so likeable yes, even sakuraba in a way (atleast I didn't really hate his character nor did I find him annoying) 7/10 |

OP version, it's perfectly match.. Did anyone noticed 765P's flower in the beginning..? 9/10 and equally better with Sunshine.. Waiting for Aqours x CinPro x 315Stars.. |
| Smile engage❤ I'd love to see the full concert, shame there's no full animated concert :( Well live one will do! xD Ofc it's drive a live in the end❤ |
"Signature removed"   |
| A good ending! I really liked SideM but I guess, throughout the series, I lost a bit of interest. At first, I was sure this would end up as a 9/10 in my list but I ended up finishing with a high 7/10. It's great. I feel generous so I will leave it off as a 8/10 since there are many good episodes. This show isn't bad at all but the whole "I wanna be an idol to make others have a happy smile!" idea felt a bit recycled and overused as time went on. I don't really understand why anyone would quit a high-end job like teacher, pilot, or surgeon to be an idol. Their reasoning isn't strong enough in my opinion... But everyone has this dreamy idea that they're gonna be a top idol and make millions of people happy which is a bit farfetched. I wanted to see a bit more, I guess. Nevertheless, it was a fun tale. I guess I got a bit bored at some episodes since the ideas get rehashed and some groups are simply not as interesting as others. I'm too biased towards S.E.M. and they are one of the groups that got barely any screen time. The animation/art was excellent, just like original IM@S and Cinderella Girls. Great stuff. Songs were great too! |
| quite an average idol anime but hell im lovin' it lol, songs are great and catchy. 7/10 2nd season when? ;-; |
 |
| This is the first ever male idol anime that I've watched & completed. Not bad, tbh. The anime's art style is very similar to the previous iDOLM@STER anime series but, this time, the main cast is composed of good-looking guys with diverse personalities & talents. It was fun, though. I still enjoyed the series. It just doesn't have enough songs throughout the whole series and some of the idol units (Beit and S.E.M.) only had one episode each focusing on them. S.E.M. is cool not only because I'm in the same age group as them (lol) but they're also former teachers who have shown great dedication and motivation to live their new dream of becoming idols, and they've succeeded. Yamashita-sensei keeps saying he's an old man. Shut it. xD Dangit, why does Pierre look so friggin' cute?! >.> Even if he's a boy... Dangerous trap! 8/10 for this series. Like I said, it was fun. |
| That was a nice last performance. Overall, this was a pretty good show and also my first ever male idol anime. I expected to see more performances, but oh well. The boys and their interactions were quite interesting. Pierre was my favorite character. |
