Why do people hate CGI so much? if they remove it, you can kiss the nicely choreographed dance scenes goodbye.

Idolm@ster didn't use cgi and the dances were great

Also probably people don't like cgi because its distracting and it shows the animators taking the easy/lazy route by using cgi instead of traditional.

Have you ever tried making a hand drawn animation before? having to draw every single frame, it's fricking work, cgi is not lazy, it's just different, it gives the animator alot more options to work with, it sometimes needs only one frame and manipulating it to your liking, i admit it doesn't look as pretty as hand drawn but if the cgi is seamlessly inserted as possible or it's brilliantly made use of like in kingdom or even this show, i honestly dont mind.

I like how your explanation kind of helps my point. Yes cgi is different, but it is also easier to do and many animators and film makers tend to get lazy and will want to take the easy way out of things. So instead of putting hard work into things they get lazy and will resort to cgi because its easier.

Better than the first episode! It does have quite a Tari Tari feel, which is great. Honoka & Kotori are my favourites so far. It's a shame we already know who's going to join the group but I guess it'd be pretty predictable anyway :') Looking forward to their live concert next episode.

I don't think i agree with your easier=lazy analogy, if it were true, then science would have never advanced. CGI comes down to preference in the end. I'm very picky about my animation styles, so generally when i see an action show with lame animation fights or re-use of certain scenes, i get quite vexed, most studios will give you the excuse of low budgeting as the reason. When i first saw CGI in anime, like anyone i didnt like how it looked but the freedom and chance of experimntation it gave to the animator was something i really liked. In shows like kingdom that use CGI for most of the fights, i will admit it has one of the best animated fight scenes i've ever seen.

I cant convince you to like cgi but i predict that more and more shows will be using bits of it in future. Once someone fixes the issue of the way the frames change and color tones, animes will switch to CGI instead of hand drawn in future.

I feel silly for always pronouncing their band as U's instead of Muse. Anyway, Start-Dash sounds great, seems like the songs in this show are something special to me.

This feels like a 2-cour show, I just don't think something like this can be finished in a single cour.
I'm looking forward to the next episode, I wonder how the performance will be animated as well.

It's called a budget, not laziness.

I loved it when Nozomi groped Maki's breasts. And the way she talked about them afterwards, as if that was a completely normal thing to do and they will grow soon. She just ASSUMES every girl cares about breast size. XD So, Maki's cold heart ended up warming up in the end, huh? I love her voice singing Start Dash, but then again I love her voice all together. Also, I love the name Muse. I think it was the girl who is always hanging out with Rin. She seemed to really be interested in that poster. The cards told Nozomi to take the girls' side?! Spiritual much? And, let's not forgot the dramatic scene that ensued. Eli was just like, "The cards?!" Then, everything went crazy. XD Hope the girls have a successful performance. I REALLY LOVE how this series shows it's hard to be an idol, and they had to work hard to build their stamina. In Aikatsu!, another idol anime which I love and would recommend for anyone reading this to check out, and most other idol anime the girl just goes on stage and dances and sings and shows great potential.
Insert awesome anime quote by my favorite character, here.

Also enjoyable and fun this episode, natural situations without forcing in any context, have fun with Honoka and companions. Drawings and animations, good, storyline that progresses rapidly.
I did not remember that there was the fanservice in this anime, in addition to that due.
What a legs! What good Nishikino! XD

This will be more abut cutness, warmth, heart, team work etc all the feel good stuff than any before this so far I can tell. Sometimes Honoka´s voice reminds me of Ritsu from K-ON! Hayano(?)´s voice sound a little loli for her age xD Surprise boob grab from behind followed by embarrassing commenting on "them" for the other.

Mildest fan-service so far, little to imagination but not completely shameful here and there. Maybe I´m speaking too soon but I think not.

Hanayo thought of a name for them ♡ Honoka! Umi! Kotori! Domo! and Land, Air and Water were funny ideas too though xD

It's Nozomin's first gropey boob-related but somehow relevant advice scene! I'd have her read for fortune any day~
Everyone's legs are ravishingly sexy as well *looks at Maki's legs close-up*

Speaking of Maki... she composed Umi's lyrics and even provided a lovely reference on how to sing it. She even put the club into the radar! She really was moved by smiling push-ups and Honoka's sincerity like me ;~;
