Yo.... Never did I imagine this title would be this FIRE!!!!!!
This is going to be one of the underated one isn't it? Quality so good, great direction, great writing, great comedy, but bc most MAL users are middle-schooler who only watch the most mainstream battle shounen, nobody would watch this....
Yo, there's Watanare's 5EPs FIRE sequels, and now this!!? 2026 started of with absolute bangers!!!!!!!

Honestly, I started episode 1 without much expectation. The art style felt very atypical at first, and in general I tend to avoid anything idol-related like the plague because it’s often pretty cringe. But since I had loved K-Pop Demon Hunters and I’m a fan of music and K-pop anyway, I figured I had nothing to lose.

In the end, I was pleasantly surprised. I absolutely love the overall atmosphere, and especially the comic-book vibe, which is clearly the show’s strongest point: it’s very funny, fast-paced, and never drags. It even reminded me a bit of Gintama’s energy, which made me really happy. The visuals are also gorgeous, with a subtle ’80s touch in the character design, especially in the eyes.

So far, it’s a solid 10/10 for me: it’s extremely enjoyable to watch, never boring for a second, super dynamic, and even the songs are really nice. Honestly, a huge favorite.

Love the quirkiness and there's already massive potential here (romance with likeable leads, possible problems with idol culture if these two go further they might have to hide it).

Very good directing work.

Started like, very very good!

Liked the CGI, way more polished than expected. The MC is likeable, the idol looks quite relatable in a way and also the potential is there for anything.


Hope they do something similar to Ririsa 2.5 S2 lol

The female protagonist is such a mood, her reactions are hilarious. Tamon is a lot different from what I'd expected, but his gloomy side is super funny and relatable too. Utage is living every fan's dream, but she's genuine in her feelings of supporting both sides of Tamon and their dynamic is surprisingly wholesome and sweet. Looking forward to seeing more of their growing relationship, though I hope it won't go too fast. I also hope we'll be able to see more of the other idol members as well. They have all of the most stereotypical personalities of an idol group, but I'm sure their idol personalities are mostly facades as well, so it'll be interesting to explore more of that.
On a quick side note, I'm surprised by how good the CGI is, especially compared to Wandance. JC Staff obviously poured a lot of effort and love into this episode, which is nice to see. The ED visuals are really cute too, especially the part with Utage and Tamon dancing!

Tamon Kun Tamon kun!

The feeling of meeting your oshi irl is something else. I get the kinoshita fangirling so hard and her expressions were so on point.


But this was a nice first episode, animations, art , cgi all were great especially during the performance, great adaptation for an idol based anime. Hope they keep it consistent through out, it will be a treat.


Looking forward to the next episode of kinoshitas idol housekeeper journey.

Im no stranger to supporting idols and I'll say this show so far does a nice showing of how serious some people can take it. Im curious how this show will get handled, maybe go down the whole scandal drama type of route or what not. Cool she was able to accept him even after seeing his real self or I suppose his other side. Some fans would just stop supporting there idol if they saw them like that.

Nice start curious to see where it goes, They got Shinobu's VA for the mc too I recognised that voice anywhere.

Manga is a masterpiece, while Eps. 1 adopts a lively way to retell this nice story.

Oh god. That was actually cuter than I thought.

Though the "CGI dance" for the concert bit threw me off guard but it wasn't bad...I just gotta be [mentally] prepared for it next time.

I didn't know anything about this, and when the boy band started right at the beginning. I thought, this is going to be a drop. I'm pleasantly surprised on how much I liked it. I love a good romcom and I think this is heading in that direction. Can't wait for the next episode.

Looks promising so far. I like Tamon but I'm curious about the other guys in the band. Are their real selves all different from their stage personas too, do they know what Tamon is really like, do they all get along, etc. I guess we'll find out.

didn't expect anything from this anime and only decided to give it a shot because the character designs were cool, so I'm pretty surprised at how decent this first episode was. Looking forward to more.
