Please take into consideration her age. People in this age (especially with character like Mio) thinks totally different. Emmo said: Nobody complained this much about Miki Hoshii at the time of first Im@s TV series, imho, Mio is VERY young, so what she did is totally understandable to me. Sorry if my english is not that nice, I'm italian x' Also, i ADORE Love Laika. Minami and Anastasia are my favourites; theye're so cool, mature and professional. They totally deserved that high quality concert. ^ THIS!! Hoshii Miki is THE FIRST quitting idom@ster idols. And the case is Very similar to Mio now. When they have high expectation =/= doesn't meet the reality, and they're still FRAGILE TEENA-GIRLS!! (aged 14 and 15 respectively, and YOU compared to 16 years old/2nd grader high schoolers? You both right and wrong) If you don't want the 'forced drama', you won't get the character development. If the 'forced drama' didn't happen to Miki, what the development she gained when she offered to join Ryuugu Komachi in a special case? Yes, Miki used to want join RK and ask Ritsuko for it. Guess what? Rejected. BUT, when MIKI was requested to join RK again by Ritsuko in A SPECIAL CASE, she rejected the request. And she added that Ritsuko is in the charge of that special case. That's the development you got from the 'forced drama' Now, i believe that Hoshii Miki is one of the most popular iDOLM@STER idols (maybe thanks for this 'drama' too) Mio, in my opinion is a LADY who are not READY, yet for now. And I repeat myself saying this: skystorms88 said: Mio is THE FOURTH idol of Idolm@ster series who quits from an idol. So I thought no much problem here SURE SHE'LL BACK FOR GOD'S SAKE!! but the question is when? and how? Now speaking Love Laika, Yes. I like it too. The girls are good and the dance is great (animation and choreography aspects) |

| Producer did nothing wrong. Mio is dumb and drama feels forced. Its all fault of her overblown expectations. Nothing less expected from awakened Miki clone... Hope Uzuki will become the new leader. She's the most hard-working and honest person in the main trio. |

Now I sympathize that Miki's reason is a bad reason to quit but it is much more justifiable. She thought she was gonna get to be part of RK which she, at the time, really really wanted to join. Now what about Mio though? What dumbass reason is that? Mio does not even remotely compare to Miki. I'm sorry but unlike Miki, I cannot see how Mio's reason is even remotely justifiable or woth sympathizing with. I understand, What have Miki done is after halfway of the story, and after the confirmed "yes" from old producer. Meanwhile Mio is quitting just after THE DEBUT. So, I got the point of you both. Both of them were wrong, but I am not fully blame them due to maturity, as I mentioned above. |

| Rin's glare...rewatched that couple seconds 14 times. Best part of the episode, her anger and all negative emotions were expressed accurately to what i believe she was thinking, lovely and deadly at the same time. P.S. Minami and Anya were fantastic. |
 |
| Finally, shit happens. Compared the audience from the last concert, lol wtf. |

Says the guy who made a review after only watching 6 episodes... for 9/10 *sigh* (with only 5 posts >_>) and then you have the gall to say this series is to satisfy the fans and non-fans should not complain and just drop the anime if they didn't like it. I'm a major fan of Idolmaster, I have all the games and I'm not satisfied at all. Sidelining other "main" characters, Forced drama, bad animation overall and the most important thing missing from Cinderella Girls is SONGS. Fk-in songs...The first anime had insert songs every episode and every ending had a different songs (cameo songs doesn't count). Cinderella Girls is a 6/10. |

| Mio... srsly? I know you're only like 15 or 16yo, but you could at least think about it logically. Your very FIRST appearance as idols was as a background dancer, who not many think too much about. And your group was created after the performance. Being a new group, how do you expect ANYBODY to know you exist? Be glad there were even people who stayed to watch. I know I'm ranting about a fictional character, but come on, that's a really unrealistic way of seeing things. I'm probably being a little biased for Rin but I want to believe she was angry because the producer didn't sugarcoat it, which I'm glad he didn't, because that's just how the world works. |

richard360 said: looool so this chic thought she'd become hot shit over night. just because of 1 radio interview, 1 back-up gig, and 1 CD. GTFOOH. XD Pretty much this. Unnecessary drama. The producer not to be blamed. Mio is an idiot. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

Imagine a guy whose mother was in a car accident, she died, would you tell the guy in the face "your mother is dead" im not sure i would. I know im taking an extreme example but the general idea is the same. I agree that telling the truth as it is usually the best course, but i also understand where her anger comes from. |
|
| Ok wtf?? it's difficult to believe that these girls has such a spoiled and self-entitled attitude while just starting in the industry. Is Mio a special kind of retard? comparing herself to an established idol is more than just being delusional, it's plain idiotic! I can understand the cat girl's frustration from the previous episode even if she didn't express it the best way but wow Mio.. imagine if she had to do what WUG girls did singing in an onsen event full of old men who leers at them wearing bikini. |
 |
| This was really good up until the last few minutes with Mio. A-1 even managed to work in the budget-saving segment naturally, and then that? Oh man. I would be so ticked off (at least inside) if I was the producer. He's been busting his butt trying to get these girls off to a great start, and Mio starts pulling crap like that? I know she's a teenager, but even so, she has no business trying to be an idol if she can't act mature for her age. I really don't blame the producer for getting frustrated and responding the way he did, even if it was a bad way to handle the situation. Yeesh. Do we really need such an annoying form drama? I really was enjoying it up until that point too. ._.; MoeGod said: Is Mio a special kind of retard? comparing herself to an established idol is more than just being delusional, it's plain idiotic!

| Only if this anime had no Mio and Miku, especially Miku, I mean both. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| I empathize how Mio is feeling but I thought she was informed that this is just a small concert. So I guess she should already knows what the program will be. Unless of course it was a misunderstanding |
| Called it, fucking called it. But prodoosah-san gotta handle these things with care. He gotta share a beer with Brodoosah-san to get his groove on.

The girls are good and the dance is great (animation and choreography aspects) Miki was given false hope for at least 6-7 episodes where she worked her ass off thinking she would get into Ryuguu Komachi, only to be brought back to Earth by Ritsuko because Brodoosah wasn't able to clear up his damned miscommunication. Why wouldn't she have a fit? Mio, on the other hand, is a fresh Idol with practically no resume other than background dancing, expected an arena live tier debut, and threw a hissy fit and rage quit (of course she's gonna get consoled by the prodoosah) after like 2 episodes worth of build up. TripleSRank said: It sounds kinda interesting too, though. I've heard WUG is a more realistic take on idol anime. WUG has a really good team building/character relationship going on about it. And the character's problems/drama don't come until AFTER things are established which is something CG isn't doing and why it's being so lackuster atm |

| Oh Mio really? *facepalm* Their unit was about to have a debut concert, nobody knew who they were and she expected a crowd of fans? Lol, she have mistaken a small live show with big concert in Budoukan or Tokyo Dome. XD I understand she's 15 but as a beginner idol she should have some humility and knowledge how idol industry works. |
| Wow. I didn't like it when Mio declared herself as the leader. And it's clear why I felt like that when she acts like a brat. I thought Cinderella Girls opened up better than the last IdolM@ster (those first few episodes, bleagh...), but... This episode and the last episode has just made me cringe. If there's any development for Mio, then I hope we don't ever have to revisit her in future episodes. And I hope future drama it isn't as forced. I'm usually forgiving if the opening episodes are subpar, but I expect episodes to ramp up in quality. Also, I'm incredibly disappointed that it has been focused on this "trio" so far. They're just...not that interesting. The only one that's passable is Rin, but it's not hard to impress when one is a "GANBARIMASU" bot and the other, well...this episode. I understand the premise of this Anime so far is that everyone is inexperienced (even the Producer seems to have problems and is awkward), but there has to be a better way of doing it than having everyone throw a tantrum. And while the others were promised their debut, I imagine they're going to be glossed over off screen or in a montage. :/ By the way, Mio gets support from all her friends. They're cheering their hearts out. All for their dear friend. I'm glad Mio only wants the fame or to show off. What a great friend. |
| What was Mio expecting? She's way over here head on this one, especially for a debut MINI live concert. She's lucky Producer-san managed to get the shopping mall venue and not some rooftop garage like in Locodol. Anyway, I din't find both performances that engaging, pretty generic (although New Generations production number was never really shown in full) When will Anzu win over my heart and be my weapon of mass destruction??? Anzu when?? when?! |
clannadlover said: Now that I've calmed down some, I have only one other thing to say... Love Laika? really? I'm sorry the girls are awesome but I can't stand by the unit name... P.S. What does Laika mean? I'm pretty sure it's from Laika, the cute Russian dog which was the first living creature in space. I really liked Mio until this forced drama. It just didn't seem natural. I thought that she was upset because she didn't manage to dance as well as she could've, but then we got that... it was sort of annoying. I hope she gets some development and understands that she is in the wrong. Sigh. I really liked the other im@s more... this is so disappointing in terms of characters and ~*drama*~ |
| The past isn't important. What is important is whether or not you can smile right now. |
TrueUchiha said: basically this. And the producer has zero personality or emotions. A tree has more.mio is an idiot, how did she expect a brand new idol with barely any experience to be as big as mika jougasaki, talk about dumb expectations On another note, Love Laika is AMAZINNGGG |
| Everyone seems very focused on and being angry at, Mio for misunderstanding the situation and thinking there would be a huge crowd when obviously there wouldn't be. And while I can kind of agree with that, and really have no affection towards Mio at all, I think it's misplaced to ignore the fact that P-Chan, bless his stoic wordless heart, has done a terrible job so far of actually explaining wtf is going on to anyone. Mio's little outrage could have been avoided if P-san would have actually sat down with them and set their expectations for what this concert was going to be, just like last episodes entire drama could have been avoided had he just said from the beginning that this was just the first batch and they were still working on details on future batches. I do love P-San in this show, I honestly do. I just wish he would do a bit of a better job at using his words. |
| And... Back to the forced drama in every idol series. Episode was good up until Mio. Producer isn't even to blame. Well, next episode or maybe 2 is going to be obvious. Girls will try to get Mio to join back and she will. |
 |
| holy crap I honestly thought it wouldn't have gotten that bad when Mio started acting up before the performance. fast forward to their performance and I see the strange atmosphere pervading around them. I guess they kind of hinted at Mio's ambitious expectations as an idol, and I just didn't bother taking note of them. I can kind of see why Mio's expectation were that high after being part of Mika Jougasaki's performance (being more focused on "we're on stage" "this must be what the audience is like when on stage"). unfortunately, she must've overlooked that they were background dancers dancing alongside with an already known idol unit in regards to her self proclamation as leader of the unit that seemed pretty natural, since very vocal people tend to take the leader role easily. |

scytheavatar said: In case anyone needs prove that Mio is a piece of ****: Compared to Love Live's first concert Amen to that. Damn that brings up memories of feeling really bad when I saw that episode. The school concert for Love Live was even worse for them then what happened in this episode. Mio's expectation is really lame but guess it's her age, lesson learned for her. Glad Producer-san stuck with his personality, she needed to hear that. Is this producer-sans first production? He was happy taking so much pictures of Love Laika. |

| lol it was a MINI live in a MALL. What did she expect? And how unprofessional to just drop the ball like that. ~~~ Also, that glare from Rin was bit much, but I think it was just because the producer is so terrible at interpersonal communication. He put his foot in his mouth at a time when he really needed to say the right thing to Mio. |

| Episode interesting enough, the narrative has been able to show good moods and disappointments of those who want to take this path, it was not too watered it too dramatized the situation experienced by the protagonists. Do not hurt the progress of the plot, so does the twist in the finale. Good management of the drawings and the good animation and choreography of the group Love Laika, during the mini live. Mio was too full of himself, and this has been well told in the first part of the episode and previous episodes. The_Mad_Wizard said: Slapped by reality huh? The truth hurts! |
 |
| Are we supposed to feel sorry for Mio? Did she seriously think that they'd be super popular at their first concert? That whole scene at the end seemed really unrealistic and forced. On an unrelated note, Anastasia is a cutie. |
scytheavatar said: In case anyone needs prove that Mio is a piece of ****: Compared to Love Live's first concert Omg yes, Mio should've just took it on the chin, and just be GRATEFUL that she was able to perform on stage At least honoka took it to the chin and performed her heart out http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zHz2gSrOW40/UkAbF0V9q-I/AAAAAAABIe0/vAAljItTzMo/004.png?imgmax=3000 And look at Ruka for hayate no Gotoku, Mio should be glad they didn't get a gig like this |
RockerXDFeb 16, 2015 12:23 PM
| maybe mio expected that their facebook friends appear on that show :V poor Producer |
AsdrockMar 13, 2015 6:36 AM
| Who in their right mind let Mio be one of the main cast. |
| MIO is an idiot. And are we supposed to hate the producer?? cause i can only sympathize with him. |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| Wow good start for Love Laika and they pretty much gave the crown to those 2 girls and put New Generation in the shadow. I find the New Generation routine boring by a mile but the ending changes the dynamic a little bit as now we can finally get some serious character development. In my opinion, Rin should have been the leader as she is the most composed and levelheaded out of the 3. Mio's attitude signify someone who expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter, it's time she wakes up to reality and the hardship of an idol. Yes the producer look like the bad guy with what he said to Mio but thats tough love and more importantly, it's the truth. Overall, not the best drama we see due to the cause of it being too unnatural. |
ShanaFlameFeb 17, 2015 6:02 AM

| The biggest reason I see this as forced is because Mio is supposed to like and know about idols. Therefore she should know the difference between an established idol's concert and a first timers mini-concert. I don't blame the character I blame the writers, this kind of inconsistency is straight up sloppy writing. |

| Uzuki should really stop said HAIT! and GANBARIMASU! My ears startin' to bleed..! xS Man I thought Mio acting like that because she may be screwed up in the performance or something but NOPE, because of the number of audience in there were less than during the Mika's live-concert. WTF?! It was called mini-concert for a reason! What can be expected?! My eyes though during the drama in the end.. So painful to watch seeing how forced it is..! Soooo she's just gonna quit because of that? Seriously? Being the producer is suffering..! :S |
 |
| ....why? I liked Mio and new Generations too.. x.x i guess these kind of expectations can happen irl but Mio is suppose to know that Idols don't get that big overnight. ugg... like i was seriously squishing my face trying to understand why all that drama was happening right then. in my opinion, this kind of behavior would have made more sense if that black haired child went through, since she seems so young and naive... how old is Mio again? |
| lolol mio's a fool. |
| "The iDOLM@STER Broken Cinderella Shoes" The saying "Everything is going to be alright" is not always true, there will always be a screw-up or misunderstanding. It's failure is a part of success. Maybe because Mio had high expectation of the crowd and also I think she immediately compared the results of their 1st back-up concert to their own mini concert. I guess she doesn't realize that you won't be an instant hot shot on the first few concerts. They are just starting on the path of an idol, in which it's a really hard path. Edit: HAHAHA! i'm enjoying reading the bashing of forum posts to the retard Mio! |

| Anya beauty >.< |
 |
| Dat forced drama man, so disappointing. I already know what will happen in the next episode. |
| Meh, I hope Mio does quit, but of course that won't happen. I'm not really liking Cinderella Girls. I feel like if I fell behind an episode or two I won't bother to try and catch up and just drop it. Time will tell. |
