| This is L'antica. Their MV was very cool, especially in the final scene where they performed under the heavy rain. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| The instrumental is an actual banger. A real metal cover of that would be so sick. Good episode. A bit predictable but fun. I'm still taking in all the different character names, outfit designs, and names lol. |

| Yeah, this show is very clearly aimed almost exclusively at the existing gacha audience. Little attempt is being made to actually introduce all these characters they're throwing at us, instead just going through plot beats with a clear expectation that we already know who these people are: basically all we're actually getting of substance about these characters is name cards on screen (not as though it's easy to pick up 16 new names on the fly) and their unit names and logos every time they appear. It's not as egregious as Million Live and its 40+ characters in this regard, but it's still pretty alienating to someone like me unfamiliar with these characters. |

It’s like we were thrown into an anime that’s already had multiple episodes or a prior season. Hope we learn about the characters like we did in other Idolm@sters, ‘cause as of now, I’m not attached to any of them :/ |

| The animation or the graphic aren't bad, they're pretty smooth. The only issue as some mentioned is... they sorta jump us into things with barely any introduction like episode 2 is already episode 8 or something, lol. They're trying to assume people will be connected to the characters by putting in early drama instead of the early days "happiness and hope daily life Idol introductions" . But this isn't that bad, this is actually similar to how "Live Action Drama" tends to start out their series. And it's also a change of pace, since most early Idolmaster series all had episodic intros, they wanted to make series more unique feel and doesn't just stay with the same formula (even if those formula tends to work anyways, lol) . BTW, Chiyuki reminds me of someone... hmm... |

| This episode was good. Kogane best girl by far, so far. Yuika is 2nd best, she is cute. I couldn't give a damn about any of the other 3 girls lol The models are great but the overall CGI is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worst than Million Live, there it was peak. Thanksfully tho, this one manages maintains said peak CGI when it's live time. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
