| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well it's the standard idol theme series. The red haired guy (Amamiya) is the main guy so far although we get glimpse of the others. The Junya guy doesn't have high hope for him apparently so Amamiya is there to prove him wrong. Bet more drama will develop between the two later on as well. Of course there's some man service as well ;o Junya has a point about idols though...becoming one isn't easy. The Vampire Suit though... |
 |
| So basically a male version of Aikatsu. - They have Special appeals - Group Special Appeals - Cards aka Dorika I thought there was one OST right before Kanade goes on stage that sound a bit like one of from Aikatsu. Honestly I thought the episode wasn't half bad. Kanade was fun to watch. He would keep proving Junya wrong by keeping up with the training. I could understand why Junya would say Kanade won't last. I mean, being an idol isn't easy. Perhaps Junya has seen many pass the audition but quit shortly after due to not being able to take the sheer amount of work that idols must do. That card transformation was so Aikatsu. Only difference is fans apparently choose the apparel. Interesting. |

| Well it was an average start I guess and I think it was quite fast paced as well. Kanade was scouted cause of his energy to work tirelessly by Mikami. He went from being scouted, to training and all the way upto performing in a concert. They made the Kanade and Junya's remarks into a running gag. xD I liked the part where Junya told Kanade that becoming an idol was no easy task and that was why they all worked hard. His passion came across quite well. I found the concert kind of odd with those card things and the outfit transformations, Felt like watching a Mahou Shoujo but it was still nice. xD I guess Kanade is very talented since he was able to perform really well on stage with no prior experience. The last scene with Mikami revealing all his cards(Which are stored in the phone apparently, Wonder what kind of ingenious technology lets that happen) and sending them to the sky was visually really nice. |

| Well I wasn't expecting a male idol anime that was based on a card game! Pretty average anime, but I will watch it and see how it develops. Music was nice and the characters seem interesting. Seems all the VAs may be new or unknowns, so seeing how they develop these characters will be fun! 7/10 for first ep! |
| 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! |
| Reminded me of King of Prism + Boueibu (bc newbie cast and magic transformation) I liked it, the songs were good. The ED stood out the most. I think it can be a good show. hawa777 said: Yes, they are!Vacu0us said: I don't like the main characters voice acting, idk if its just me but I feel no emotion from it I think they are newbie |

| I absolutely love this anime! As a player of the mobile game and a long time follower of the franchise (CDs and manga too!) I was really looking forward to it! I'm glad it didn't disappoint! They made Kanade really cute *^* Junya isn't quite as mean in the game as he is in the anime, but I have a feeling he'll be different from now on. |

This show kept throwing signs of Aikatsu. Honestly I hope this show is as good as Aikatsu. |

| LOL cards??? That's pretty random. Well, gotta watch one of these each season. It's just easy on the eyes. Does the green haired one remind anyone else of Makoto? Just a touch? |
| Omg. Reminds me of Aikatsu but with male idols. |
| Well everything is pretty fine but this concert scene looks weird. ;-; |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
Yeah me too! And the red haired remind me of Rin a little bit haha. ^^ |
"Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| this was not too bad, the whole stuff with the cards is a bit weird but i'll get used to that. i'm not a big fan of the voice acting either though, you can tell they're newbies. |
 |
| Not a bad show, I will enjoy watching this. :) |

LovelyHikari said: Oh wow, even better. This show kept throwing signs of Aikatsu. Honestly I hope this show is as good as Aikatsu. Being that case then you can really tell how well their CGI blend is compared to when Aikatsu started. It's gotten a lot better. :) |

| I REALLY ENJOYED THAT. I instantly cared for the idols and was instantly invested and found every aspect of the show entertaining and interesting. |
| Hey, no one told me this was airing already! Pretty average first episode. Genki guy (of course) gets kidnapped (lol what) and somehow works out with the other newbies and passes an audition. Throw in character archetypes and we have an episode. Those cards though (they even say UR lol), reminds me of Aikatsu and King of Prism, and actually of Love and Berry too if anyone knows that card game. It's pretty obvious the voice actors are newbies just by listening to them. Still, I'll watch this for now and see how it goes. Also, I'm somewhat amused at all the <10 forum posts posters in this thread. |

| Ahh, I was looking forward to the anime ever since I played the game! xDD I remember how shocked I was when they announced the anime before the game was even released (or when it was released for like only a week, I can't really remember). I was like "WOAH... WHY?! HIGH HOPES FOR THIS FRANCHISE EH XD" The songs are really the best part of it all. The voices are really not my type (you can really appreciate professional seiyuus after this...) but their singing is awesome. And songs are the most important part of any music game after all. The 3D was cheesy though I felt kinda desensitized after I played the game. I dropped the game though, because my phone didn't have enough space. Guess I'll just look forward to Chizuru and Itsuki interactions in the anime :D |
| I don't know if it's like my inner gay is coming out cas I'm currently reading and re-watching "Vampire Knight", but this show has my attention. Really reminds me of the idol group "Galaxy Standard" from "Prince of Stride" not to mention both MC's from the series are shockingly similar in practically all aspects. |
 |
| i'm sorry, i tried to like this i really did but... after watching tsukiuta last season with its amazing animations and such i just see more clearly how bad this is. before this i watched an episode of different anime and while i laughed at it the whole episode for its hilariousness this only made me laugh as a reflex of feeling extremely uncomfortable and awkward. |
Firs thing that I thought of when I saw him lol. |
| This looks pretty cool. This is the first time I've ever watched an idol Anime. I chuckled a bit when Kanade was risen to the stage, and his mouth was just hung open in awe. |
 |
| Good first episode. This is like Aikatsu with male characters. I like Kanade's energetic personality. The other characters seem to be likable as well. Vampire Lord Suit and Cool Priest Series looked nice. |
