| .....πππππ I can't believe it's over now, and in my whole life this is legit the only anime I've ever caught live each week right on the airtime too. It's been fun, but all things come to an end at some point :') Man it was really good, tho didn't have as much impact as the finales for the other iDOLM@STER animes but still I'm so happy. Will really miss catching this live on air each Wednesday and I am really hopeful that one day After20 will get an anime adaptation too! It's been a great journey everyone. You won't be seeing me first to talk about each episode for an anime now anymore ahahahahhah Here is "Good day Good night" again used as the ED, this time with character stills as opposed to the stage zoom back from before: It's nice getting confirmed that there will be a new episode with Kozue and Yukimi, but we will have to wait for it towards the end of October :') Really hope season 2 gets confirmed so we can finally have Chika and Mai voiced ahhhhhhhhhh |

| What a nice debut. :) Satisfying finale for sure. Overall, a decent show. Nina was my favorite character. Interesting cliffhanger. I want to know more about those new girls. Second season when? :) |

| Second season cannot come any sooner, not only was the performance awesome, Producer brought both Kozue and Yukimi at the very end to make sure the hype levels stay at 11. |
 |
| Finally, we've got the New generations for the finale. πππ |

| The girls finally got to debut, and even used their newly crafted song and dance to go with it and they came out swinging, it was a very nice song and the performance was beautiful, very awesome looking. And to think they were able to debut thanks to that hat wearing old dude who I’m guessing is the president they spoke of, thanks to that lad for sure, really liked his talk with Producer. It was also cool seeing some other idols backstage, and if I’m not mistaken we also saw the girls from the original Idolmaster show which I have not seen yet, guess I gotta put that on the list now lol. And with U149’s performance being a big success, we got another nice ED showing all the girls going home, along with the after credits showing some new girls joining the group who you could actually see throughout the episode and in the audience during the performance, does this mean Season 2 is coming? I really hope so lol, it’s cool an OVA is confirmed already too. And that was the end of my first ever Idolmaster anime, and I gotta say I loved it, really enjoyed it. It was a beautiful crafted anime, the art and animation were amazing and the songs and performances were top notch, tho fewer and far between, I think I prefer it that way so the performances are more special. And I really loved how each girl in the show got an episode focusing on them, they were a fun group of girls and they all had their own problems, so it was really nice seeing them work through those issues along with their producer. And one thing that I think was huge in this show was how Producer was just as much part of the show as the idols, he worked his ass off for them and grew a lot over the course of the show just like his idols, I really enjoyed his character. And for a best girl, for me it’s between Haru, Chie and Risa, but I can’t deny they were all great lol. And with that, my Spring 2023 season is pretty much done with one last show ending next week as summer shows begin, this was a great part of my spring list that I always looked forward to, I hope to watch more Idolmaster anime in the future! |

| Was that elderly man, the President Mishiro? Shimamura Uzuki! She is still doing her best. I should be focused by the U149 performance, but darn, a stadium with ceiling projection made me lose a little of focus on them. I don't know what was the planning of this series, but I wonder about that chandelier part, the girls have different dresses from the performance and the have 4 empty spaces(that should be for the 4 that were introduced at the end). This is making me fear the season 2 being uncertain. |
 |
| It was really nice seeing New Generations again. I need a season 2 now |
 |
| new girls at the end is tease for second season but I guess it will be difficult and love live will always be the popular choice in idols anime. I still want another season of cinderellas or 765 production. |
| I'm sad that my weekly dose of cute and funny has come to an end, but I loved every single second of this anime. it was everything I could ask for a U149 anime, I couldn't stop myself from πππ at their debut, I was so proud, I love everyone specially Momoka, and I really hope there's more of them like a second season, Kozue and Yukimi would be great to see too, and hopefully they can finally cast someone to give a voice to Mai and Chika. |
| can we have a season 2 of this instead of that 3d cgi million live |
| Too bad this was the last episode, because it was the best one. I love that we got to see Uzuki and (again) Nana for a few seconds, Uzuki's smile was the highlight of the episode for me β€οΈ This was a nice anime, I hope it gets a 2nd season, after that ending it most likely will. I'll miss Arisu, Momoka and Miria a lot! |
Sorry if my english is bad (γ£Λβ½Λ)γ£~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Truly amazing, second best idol anime of the year and absolutely a must watch for any Berserk fans. |
| Huge! Ending it with a performance in front of everyone, their dream has been achieved! That was my first introduction to Idolmaster series I don't know if I made the right decision to start with this one but it was good anyway... teasing some new girls in the end for a sequel I believe |

Dimcross said: Kozue and Yukimi had voices for awhile now (and get quite a bit of merch including a figure for each, no standalone CDs though, which is what I was after for like 8-9 years now)This is the last 2D Idolm@ster series for now since Milim@s and Shinym@s are now on 3D anime Kinda hope that the four new member have a voice though I didn't know them since the last Idolm@ster I watch is in Cinderall Girls and a casual Shinym@s player as well, but I hope U149 got a second season with adding the four characters from Third Division And lastly, MIKA-NEE! MIYU! KAEDE! SHIMAMU my beloved ππ |
|
| It was enjoyable for it being my first IDOLM@STER anime, granted mostly because all of them were cute lolis, Nina, Momoka and Risa best girls. My only complaint is that I wish the staff would stop using that camera shake effect, I hate it, makes me feel like there is an earthquake or something. |
| legit one of the best idol animes and i never would've thought i'd be saying that about U149 when it first started was carried by fun characters and amazing directing /visuals plus 10/10 cameos if you are a Ido@mas fan i can't believe they really did hold out showing Shimamu and the gang till the very end shes still doing her best as a top idol don't doubt we'll get another season but i kinda want a big Cinderella girls season 3 with u149 and the new gen flat 8/10 ! |
 |
| 4 new idols?!? keep em comin'! what a spectacular performance my U149! 5/5. 8/10. |
 |
| to be honest , i enjoyed watching this !! |
SakuraHougetsu28 said: omg 3 songs in just one episode, this is the best anime about idols of this season without a doubt!!! You mean any season, lol. Idolmaster is a huge franchise and is one of the fore-runner for Idol anime. In fact, Idolmaster series is one of the first series to have a huge group of girls instead of having just 1~3 girls throughout the whole thing. (tho there is the Xenoglossia, back when Mecha was popular, so they started out the series as a Fantasy school Idol mecha series... lol, then they went with just Idol series based on real world idol industry and it became huge) It is also one of the few Idol series that isn't based on "school". ___ ___ ___ The Idolmaster series has grown to be quite huge, there are tons of groups in the series now and they still have some groups show up in newer series. |

| really good ending! can't wait for S2 and new girls....... please tell me there is a S2!!!! Loli Idols for life! Also Producer got this achievement unlocked....  |

Vacxy said: Did anyone else feel that the final episode felt a little short? Influences of the Macross director who directed that one episode? In any case, it was a well-deserved showcase for the little idols who have worked very hard to get here, although the differences with the manga were very big. It would be nice if they showed more of the concert (of other groups too) But they have to fit everything into one episode. So I guess this is the best they could do by making it focused on the actual U149 group. I really like the U149 series, cause everyone's so cute, LOL. And there's no over-used drama that lasts for like half the season... I like how most of the series is adventure based and the producer trying to do his best for the little ones while balancing their growing up stage. Arisu is the best Loli, she may act mature, but deep down she's still a cute kid, just look at that part in her bungee jump from before, LOL, it's so cute. (This is also the reason why I loved the Puchidol series too, even tho that series is pure-fantasy based) |

| Good ending. A bit rushed, but it was nice to see Rin, Mio and Uzuki finally become professional idols, and how the girls finally made it to their debut and performed. So many warm emotions, as if I were attending my daughters' graduation ceremony. IMAS really knows how to tell quality and impactful idol stories. @HiljainenSipuli The 13th episode is dedicated to them, which unfortunately is a bonus for Blu-ray. @amlg Correct me, but is Idolmaster actually the most famous idol franchise that made such things a trend? Yes, Love Live is also huge now, but I felt like it all started with the Idolmaster 2 adaptation. |

| @HiljainenSipuli It still doesn't exist, from what I've read above, it will be released in October. |

Reply to BonBonToro
@RobertBobert That was October last year, the bonus episode with the Blu-ray is already out and available through torrent and whatnot, just that I don't think it's been subbed yet
| @BonBonToro Even not in English? Amazingly. |

Reply to BonBonToro
@RobertBobert Not sure how the main series came abouts with the subs but in this case it's probably gonna be a fansub group who would do the translations and whatnot, not sure if there are any atm but is kind of a surprise if it's been like 9 months since release and still no subs yet ahahahah
| @BonBonToro These days have spoiled me a little. I still remember the times when you didn't even have things like Crunchroll and even overhype shows might not have an official translation. |

| @BonBonToro i found a torrent for that had eng subs for the special(s). the torrent has a recap ep and two specials so i assume one of those two is the special we are talking about |
