travis13 said: I'll give one more ep and if it doesn't get better, I'm out. Ghost thing plus the male manager thing really put me off. Well, at first I thought that I'm the only person would do this. Gonna give another shot for next episode (instead of dropping it rn) |
| Ok. Idols. But why so many? It just makes things harder. Hoshimi is 543, yes? Ok. This is how it started. AI judgement sounds stupid but that might add competition vibes. Ok. Time skip. Song is meh. Personality undeveloped but may be that 'I need you watch me' promises something? Like he is being late and she losses? Ok. She died? And? He kinda sad? And keeps going? And she is back as ghost? And no personality development again? Ok. Now we actually start this thing. But what was the whole episode about? |
| This anime tries to evoke the 1990 film Ghost but failed to do so |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| another seasonal idol show i must watch once he said are you watching Mana i was like aw shit there gonna kill someone arent they can't say i was expecting a ghost granted only he can see her so it might just be all in his head by the end. music and visuals look good, once again getting chararacter designs that look like the ones from fruit tarts last season is a blessing the girls look cute. |

| In the beginning we see some Idol Group and Manager go to performing some Idol Concert and Manager say Mana person that leaving or something. I mean It's pretty okay to see that. After that we got to see a Flashback between Manager (Kouhei) and Mana that have bonding relationship as Manager and Idol. But in the end, Mana died because some car crash before Grand Final Venus Competition. At this point I pretty sad that Mana is gone from Kouhei life. But after that I was like "Oh, well Never Mind" because Mana right now turn to ghost without any unknown reason so far. In the end, Kouhei and Mana still csn communicate and bonding relationship with each other that only Kouhei can see Mana. Idoly Pride was pretty dramatic Idol anime to watch and it kinda ruin Dramatic Tension when Mana appear and turn to ghost, but kinda bring unique aspect to the table. But it's pretty weird. Why they told us Kouhei and Mana story first, if the main Character was The Idol Girls Group. Hope this episode will gonna have some part that important to story later. Overall Pretty great episode with Dramatic Tension yet Unique Story that not Main Character. Hopefully Future Episode having relationship with this episode. |

favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Watched this for some reason, honestly idk why I clicked on it. Might follow this for a few weeks, but honestly idk how I feel about the whole ghost thing. It's a twist for sure, but how will they make it work is the question. |
| LMAO I was watching this episode and I was thinking that going from highschool freshmen (i think?) to graduates was a little too fast, then they spedran the tournament that she entered without even showing the stages she competed in. Then just when you think it can’t get any faster, homie gets dropped by a car accident (?) and now mc sees a ghost. I’m not denying its appeal though, I do see it, it’s just so much happened in one episode all to get to the plot point of a ghost girl. I do think this show could go in a positive direction as it has the foundation to do so, it’s just up to the studio to produce it. |

| well, that was a surprise. I thought this would be just some producer dude trying to make amends for what he failed to do to his first fav idol x his teen days crush. Didn't think Mana would actually came back as an active character. Was about to drop, but bringing Mana back that way is a fresh thing for something that sells itself as an idol anime. Signed. If Producer was trying to make amends by himself, it would be boring. But with Mana established as a main character along side MC (instead of all dem forgettable 10 idols at the start), then yes this might actually be good. Because the main plot would be about the MC and Mana. |
| Liked this more than I'd first thought. Ghost part was unnecessary but I don't bother too much with it. Don't know if I'll follow the whole season but for now I'll give it a few more episodes the chance. |
CrazyFrogz said: also the plot of the film tries to emulate that to a 90's filmI thought this could rival love live because Jukki Hanada one of the Idoly Pride creator. Look like im wrong. This show so boring and not making any sense. Time to drop. |

| Ah, Mana, died when everything seemed to be fine. However, since the fate already decided her to be death, she died, due to a several conditions. Thats ironic. Still, the fire of will as a good idol intacted pretty well, due to her classmate manager that managed to be so loyal, even until her poor death. No prank, no more mourn, its time for a ghost to be the part of the idol group! That's how Idoly Pride setting up everything. The pride that even against the nature ordeal. The pride that brought back the light and shadow into a unification. That's the idoly real pride started! Okay, that shit is unique. I will surely watch this thing, not just for the idol theme only, and the girls cuteness. But, for their unique plot twist estetique, that somehow attached me to see how they well end it. Soothe the soul by winning the competition. That's what i have in mind after seeing Mana revived in Makino's mind as a ghost. Oh well. Lets see the truth at the several next episodes, then! |

| Is he really see a ghost or he just like Okabe Rintaro who has high dilusion? exciting! |
 |
| Idolish Anohana? lol. I'll look forward this show. Cute girls + music + drama seems a pretty good combination. |
 |
| Good pilot episode, reminds me a lot of cross game's first episode. Saw that coming a mile away but it was still good nonetheless, really sets the tone as to what type of show this is going to be. |
| Its the first episode and it already hit us with tragedy. When the MC sent off the girls and said to Mana while it pan out to the moon got me worried. But a sudden death? I thought it'll be a car accident. Hmm... Anyway, its not so bad. The dancing in OP looks good. Its interesting enough to watch the next. The more idol anime is good, but its kinda starting to feel boring for me. I'll be checking out Gekidol as well. |
| I'm ready for the reveal that Mana's ghost is just Makino's hallucinations. I dunno though. I'll keep it going. I just don't know how they're going to go about having Mana around still. Like, I wonder what having her around as a ghost would do for the story. All O can think of is just her giving Makino tips to give to the girls and that's it and that'd be a waste of time, so we'll see. We're idol'd out this season, ha hah. |
| Hold on sec, what the heck, why? Mana must die... I feel that anime has the name "mana" beautiful girl who always dies. |
| Seems pretty bland and generic. But other than that, no complaints really so far. Can't say that I'm not intrigued enough to keep watching. I do want to see what this is all about. On top of that it just looks really good. The same studio that did assassination classroom, both have crisp and defined animation! Although I thought they weren't going to be using cgi for the concert scenes, but in that ed it kind of looked like cgi. If it was, it was pretty good though ngl. Hoping for mostly just regular non-cgi animation though lol. Just finished watching the first season of zombieland saga and that cgi wasn't atrocious but it still stuck out like a sore thumb. I hope this does a better job, which it seems it will be doing. When Mana stepped onto the stage there though, I mean those were some really nice looking panning stills, but I hope it's not all going to be like that though... still I think the best concert scenes come from angel beats. But it's still too early to judge, heck we don't even know what the story really is about at this point. So far it seems like it's just going to be a painfully mediocre OKAY anime. But I hope it ends up being more than that, fingers crossed. |

| (Just got to this series as I try to marathon through bunch of previous season's series while next season is starting, lol) But from episode 1, this series felt a bit... awkward? not really sure how to describe it, but it feels off somehow. (maybe it's cause of the sudden death out of no where, or the dude suddenly able to see a Ghost after 3 years, or the dude took another 2 years before he made progress, or for 5 years he has no other idols in his production? how is the production studio even still there with no funds? is the dude rich?) The art quality is pretty good tho, even tho it's mostly Flashback style like a BW movie. I read some of the other early episode thread (don't want to read too much and spoil myself), and ppls say it gets better, so guess I'll try and marathon through this today. (unless it gets weird half way... then I go to next series, lol) |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Stupidest first episode I've ever seen. Why even bother showing that stuff when you're just rushing through it with no suspense? |
 |
| This story will hit differently now that Mana's voice actress has died. |
| I don't like the car wreck and death trope. But, the ghost seems unique. |
