Of the 3 male idol anime I'm watching this season, Side M has the strongest start of all. I really liked it, funnier than I expected, and it's not everyday I see idols who didn't start as idols but had other careers and older than your usual ages for idols.

Really liking this one, hope it doesn't disappoint. Music sounds pretty nice as well!

It was decent. Maybe I was just sleepy but I found it a bit slow and boring. The characters are not very interesting. I guess I've never been a fan of Dramatic Stars in the first place. Knowing this show will focus on the better boys later I'm excited for more.

This was...pretty good! Dynamic Chord was awful and TsukiPro made me sleepy but this felt like something...special. I mean, it wasn't the greatest first episode ever but it felt like there was actually some love put into making this.

The animation, the chibi faces, the song, the story...they all felt great! I'm so glad I have at least this male idol anime to watch this season.

Loved the first ep, pretty damn happy that there's finally a decent Make idol show.

was mostly ok but i would have preffered if they made one main mc that meets every other idol in the series then they eventually get paired up instead of this "each week new unit"

I like how the story tied into the prologue's timeline. Characters have an obvious dynamic, and it works. Look forward to more.

The begining of this one wasnt big. Was an average begining. basically I will continue watching because I lie anime about idols. This one makes the difference only because is dedicated to a male idol group.
