| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- In the entertainment world, I suppose it's not surprising that someone like Miu can be hit with anxiety and pressure. Surprisingly realistic in terms of how idol life is protrayed. I wonder if the anime will focus individually on the main cast in this way for rest of the season. |
 |
| The audition was a bit cringe but it's more realist yes, I hope Miu will stop being that depressed |
 |
| Second episode in and there is already conflict in the group. |

Shiroyuina said: The thing that I don’t like is that they need to obey the wall orders?? Like why would I want to obey someone who I don’t know? But other than that I love the songs and characters. It is Idol Olmec. You don't fucking question it. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Miu being center was clear since it started with the focus on her. I believe she will be a good center. Time to get know more the Pi idol group |
 |
| Definitely better Miu being the center was kinda predictable, but it will be interesting to see her development, so I’m all for that Fucking cliffhanger here we go |
| some character development which was very appreciated especially towards Nicole. The voice acting wasn't the best but so far so good. It's animation really reminds of KyoAni lmao. the CGI judging from the op is mediocre. Jun really pulls my heartstrings and Miu has potential |
| holy shit i cant believe this is a1 pictures. they have been improving so much these past couple years and this looks sooo bad. the story is bad as well. the character designer was the reason i hyped this up for a long time and this is what we got in return. |

Jun really pulls my heartstrings and Miu has potential You're not talking about animation, you're talking about character design. Animation is animation, not how the character looks. Which you only remember kyoani because Majiro's design is based on Yukiko Horiguchi's unified design for the group. Yukiko was the character designer of K-on and Tamako Market, so you remember her artstyle when she was at Kyoani, not Kyoani itself as that art only was in two of their anime. |
| So like I am wondering why are they called when they are 8 girls instead of 7 |
 |
| Man why does the OP need to include the 'characters' talking in it? Completely ruins it, otherwise this is probably the best OP this season imo but sasuga Miu already with that plot armor, somehow becomes center lol. Have to say though I'm not finding it entirely bad so far. Really rare to find a (girls) idol anime that doesn't have a majority of its characters be overly annoying KlinyKlinn said: some character development which was very appreciated especially towards Nicole.

Jun really pulls my heartstrings and Miu has potential KyoAni? This looks more like Love Live lol |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Hah, kinda expected that Miu would end up being 'chosen' by the wall as the center. Loving the support she got from Sakura, the scene at the park was really sweet. Also really glad to see the other girls are also showing their support for Miu. I'm sure she can become the center to lead the group. |

VeganL said: The animation style is much more similar to K-On!, Tamako Market/Love Story, Chuunibyou demo Koi, etc. (i.e. KyoAni shows) than Love Live's animation style. nah, not the animations style, but the character design. and you're partially correct on this one because the character design for Miu was created by a KyoAni staff, but only her. the other ones were designed by a different person, tho it seems they've tried to replicate that KyoAni feel also, my theory is that the wall is an AI cluster that was created specifically for mass producing idols like these girls. and through a round of complicated algorithms it determines the best possible iteration of the group to succeed. simple as that |
 |
| I knew it Miu will be the center of their group Looks like the illuminati wall sees the future Konou's personality reminded me of Honoka lol she's so energetic she's my fav in the group also Toda. |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| mehh.. so the most depressing girll among all of them takes center, and I could not question wtf The Wall. :uhoh: Why can't Reika or Sally be allowed to take center to make this thing at least believable? |
| So the wall spits out the Miu has to be the center, and we all must follow the wall so now she's the center for real. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| the only thing that I could not understand is why they put a sad panda character into the center. Have been following them for years on youtube, and Reika would have done a much better job. Will still follow the anime out of my loyalty to the group, but I hope Miu drama won't be the story 90% the time. |
| better than the first still no idea where this wall plot line is going fact all the judging happened anyway showcases not all of them are remotely ready and is raising some questions let alone making Miu the center but we can't disobey it! was nice that they were all supportive of Miu in their own way but i was kinda confused since i thought they all just met they all seem a lot closer and i don't think a lot of time has passed. |
 |
| Pretty good episode, everyone being nice to Miu was sweet. |
 |
| Miu reminds me of Megumi from Food Wars honestly. As in the girl who could have a lot of talent, just needs a confidence boost. |

| This episode was fine it not was really special. I still feel relatable to Miu and I love Sakura too. I think the reason Miu choose as center has something to do with her past. She use to play keyboard and stuff before I guess her dad was out of picture or maybe died? Her little sister is saying she love Miu to play the keyboard in the first episode but for some reason she is going scared of it.. I wonder why? |
| The Walls orders are ABSOLUTE! lolz i'm not sure how i'm gonna process that...haha but this idol show is still hiding something so let's see... 4/5. 3000 yen per day....hey that's my pay rate! lolz might be even higher for these girls!

The group's name is the fraction "twenty-two sevenths" which is close to the circumference of a circle but still can't be divided neatly, and is supposed to represent the infinite potential of the group's future. |

I had the imagination that coins or some kind of money comes out of that thing's mouth. Maybe it's the wall that pay them? xD |

Each girl was designed by different artist (for example Miu by Yukiko Horiguchi and Nicole by Kurehito Misaki). Yuki Horiguchi has been freelancer before even Tamako Market was out and she did (re-)designs for last years ONA shorts done by Cloverworks. Based on her redesigns Majiro did designs for this, A1's anime. |

| The Wall "Olmec" for an idol group, what contrived plot is this, but definitely not your usual idol show. Of the newly formed idol group so far, only Nicole Saito shows talent. But The Wall has chosen Miu instead to take centerstage, for reasons unknown, and everyone has to do it irregardless. Looking at Miu's overly depressing life, it's clear that she's trying her best to push through limitations, and the entire group (minus Saito of course) ended up stalking her to esteem confidence and standing out but by bit. Lil' bit of the forced drama... This was a surprisingly fast episode whizzed through. Would like to see more against the many conflicting backdrops. |
 |
| ok what is wrong with her voice, everyone's is super anime, but her lines sound like she phoned them in from her bathroom break, it's so distracting |
  |
| Miu still has her own fears and doubts, but I like that she can go on, not only because her mother and sister, for herself. The center? That is a brave decision considering the audition. |
| So Miu is back? And also next first debut. |
  γγγγγγγγγγγγ Ikan apa yang terindah? γγγγγγγγγγγγ |
| Should be no surprise that the main character is playing center in this idol group. I just hope she is successful. |
| Better than the first episode, but still not verry good. I can't take this show seriously with this wall bulls*it... And does this show takes itself seriously! There's drama everywhere, everything is depressing and sad, it's a bit tiring. Even the OP is overly dramatic with Miu talking all sad. Sakura is nice tho, and the growing friendship between the girls is good but a bit rushed. |
 |
| Sakura acting all friendly even though they saw each other like... 2 days? and she even used "daisuki" I don't even know now how much I should take it seriously... Miu putting her tail between her legs when talking to Saito even saying "I want to be a idol worthy your respect" wtf...? all of this is really making me angry.... |
 |
| Miu got a lot of pressure. Not just who working for family but also that short hair yellow girl pushed her. As I expected the wall will choose Miu. |
| The Wall's orders are absolute. Pretty interesting episode. The audition was a bit awkward. Poor girls. Well, at least Nicole did a decent job although Miu is still "the chosen one." That was kinda expected. Sakura <3 Miu  |
 |
| Why everybody were so hyped by Nicole's singing? She sounded like amateur in karaoke-bar. Of course she was way better than everyone else but still bad vocals. I swear, whoever is hiding behind this wall, they probably laughed their asses off looking at everyone's reactions on their ridiculous decision to make Miu the center. |

| I dislike center drama with idol anime, as it boils down to egos clashing over who gets to lead. I'm also still unsure about the wall explicitly dictating the plot, much less the sudden competitiveness spawning based on an unfounded belief that GIP could, somehow, turn everyone into stars. The place seemingly has a lot of money, but what the hell even is GIP? I also don't completely get Nicole's issue. Even if she muscles her way into being the center, that still requires having a group to lead. What use is there to intimidate the others in your group? I guess she just wants to be the center of attention, or perhaps she has some personal reason for rushing into stardom? Or, rather, if Nicole had so much talent, drive, and confidence, why would she feel the need to threaten Miu? I'm also wondering how everyone was scouted. Were there any qualifications, or was it also something dictated by the plot wall? Questioning the wall's orders are prohibited? By whom, and based on what consequences? What was even the point of the judges if the wall had the final say? It feels like 22/7 focuses more on the systems in play, rather than the idols themselves. Drama is driven by an unseen, mysterious hand, rather than the characters making decisions for themselves. This kind of plot can work, but I think the show would need to spend more time establishing character relationship before jumping straight into fighting. Perhaps spending the first episode having the characters learn about each other, then having the second episode focus on Miu as it did before featuring the center judging in the third episode? As is, attention is split between the mysteries surrounding GIP and the characters interacting, and I'm not entirely sure how to balance them. |
