| pretty much meh episode |
| burn the witch |
| huh no idea what i was about to watch op plays guess this is the wake up girls of 2020? all of them get cards in a willywonka like setting and end up going to some secret underground idol training office okay little strange but whatever then THE WALL where it spits out orders you must obey, me i would've noped the fuck out of there but everyone was surprisingly cool with it lol. supernatural twist is strange but ill take anything different with a idol show girls are cute good ace sense of fashion not a fan of using non pro VA's but eh more bothered by the not good looking CGI which will most likely be a thing since the budget for this doesn't look all that high |
 |
| I don't really watch Idol anime as they are normally all the same. The only reason i started watching it was my allegiance to Sally. Either way i liked the first episode quite a bit. Seems different to the other Idol anime I've watched so far. |

| Very glad to see Sally, Ayaka, Jun, Miyako, and Reiko all turned into anime! --- I'm almost in tears of joy. Although the other three members don't really appeal to me. so they have some sort of magical wall? interesting.. |
inuvivo said: God the voice acting is horrible they aren't professional voice actors, they are debuting idols, so obviously their voice acting doesnt feel the same. i personally feel that it adds a degree of realism, especially with Miu's voice. |
 |
| I think this anime is go to be pretty interesting! I think they also it a darker tune to all this with that wall. I like Miu she is pretty relatable too me. I also think the rest of the cast is pretty interesting. I maybe not so happy with the studio A-1 Pictures animation isn't bad but I prefer the CloverWorks animation they used for the Alternative version Ano Hi no Kanojo-tachi that is still airing. I keep my hopes up for this anime! |
Xenocrisi said: 22/7 is already trending in Japan (Twitter), wow It's not trending in Japan unless Tokyosaurus covers it on Youtube. Sorry, I had to make that joke. Iether way; I like Miu for sure. I totally can feel her. People do lie indeed pretty much all the time. Our society is so fake being honest, telling the truth and being real bothers people. |

| I like Miu the protagonist, she is not like typical Nakama Power Warrior. Overall, the story kinda trying to avoid generic idol show which usually make an idol group with their schoolmates. But, still meh for me. Me, when i got a mysterious invitation letter simply i will ignore it or calling police to avoid worst scenario. I mean, its possibly from a creepy stalker. But, the hell they believe it without a big doubt. Also, why the hell those girl didn't feel fear when they are in a dark tunnel with suspicios guy? So, 22/7 is pi ? |
| I'm totally going to be biased with this as I'm watching 22/7 on MX for already quite some time and their music videos... It's finally here, the first episode of 22/7! I'm so happy. Also see that quite some people have issues with their voice acting, I think you'll get used to it one or the other way. A-1 Pictures did a decent animation. I expected more but since this is the intro/prologue, I hope we'll see some stunning animation/scenes in the upcoming episodes. The OP is beautiful and good God, Miu is depressing, I love it. Those first two lines and the opening song itself... Ohhh...~ Time for a repeat. I think I like the reaction Miu has with the invitation and doubted the situation, and sure, she went, but still happy that she was not like Nicole. |

| I see AKB0048 season 3 is starting good :D Jokes aside, the opening was very good and Satou Reika was cute. I'm really looking forward to see what this series can offer but I feel like the pacing in the first episode was off. Also found Nicole to be annoying in this episode too... |
| Surprised on comments on the VA. I thought the VA acting was fine. Sure, Miu's VA was strange to listen to at first, but it got normal as it went along. As for the ep, I thought it promising for an opening ep. |
| I'll watching it for Miu, she is so adorable. And her character is also quite interesting. |
| Not a bad start, I will give it a chance, will watch some more episodes I found Miu's voice a bit strange though, it was unusual to hear a female character with not the typical voice we are already used to. |
 |
| My only problem here is the voice actor for Miu doesn't fit at all, I expect to hear a More softer voice, cuz it's fitting more for a shy girl As for the anime in general I like it, will keep watching it until the end |

| I feel like not enough people are talking about the fact that they worship a wall |
 |
| hmmmm same path just like WUG? or 22/7 is already established years ago? what's the difference/similarities? can someone clarify? |

| I've been following 22/7 since 2018, not sure what I was expecting from the anime but it definitely wasn't a wall. Mysteriousness reminds me of Revue Starlight in a way. I liked the little interaction between Reika and Akane, hope they're in some more scenes together. I'm mostly here out of loyalty for the group so I'll be watching until the end. ED sounds great |
  |
| Shocked at the low score, i thought this was fantastic |
| funny how suddenly everyone is a pro voice actor like, let the girls live, every seiyuu had to start from somewhere. And the voice acting wasn't even bad. |
| The opening is awful but the show so far is good ig 4/5 I'm kinda intrigued |
| Hmm, I concur that it is a small world that Miu is willingly trying to wall herself in (that includes the things said at the end). The pride of one's self-image and emotional suffering was sort of captured, but in general her thought stream is ...limiting to put it mildly. I sort of want to avoid boxing myself into such characters mindsets unless its a real world situation. Not sure about watching the next episode. |
Lelouch0202 said: The messages being sent are from our world. Surprisingly decent, quite intriguing. I've seen a decent amount of idol shows but this definitely felt way different compared to anything else in the genre. At the very least the first episode had a way different atmosphere. Curious about the door, wonder if the series will actually have some sort of super natural element. I thought the narration and characterization was quite nice and while it feels grim at times, the little flashes of Miu smiling do feel hopeful. The meaning of 22/7? It's Pi, just saying. xD |
| The visuals are so nice, cute and brightly, just how i like. The music gives the anime an emotional and real feeling that has to be considered. The characters are nice too, a lot of different personalities are around and ready to express themselves. I was wondering if that wall thing represents a real thing in the world or it's just pure fantasy. However, looks very interesting! One of my favorites this season. [95/100] |

Pipe said: ButtSlapper said: i believe this idol project has been developing since 2017 right? damn godly awful performance to some of members and the main's voice fits more to a 30's female character than a JK high schooler. money wasting on seiyuu courses. I thought I was the only one that noticed. I watched it live with all the boom and the trends and it was very disappointing. The main character voices' do not fit the design of the characters. So far a very average show Could you explain more about this anime? I just learned about this and synopsis didn't helped. I was thinking it is normal Idol anime but reading comments in this post it seem like some kinda projekt. |

| ED was great and OP was good until the CGI kicks in. So the illuminati group assemble 8 pretty girls to form a new idol xD Seriously speaking, this ep was decent I see a lot of potential waifus Looking for more from this anime So for VA's i think its good its different on whats we used to hear so +1 for its uniqueness |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| It reminds me of when Wake-up Girls! aired back in 2014 all of main idol/seiyuus were total newbie VAs and thought they didn't fit their characters at all, look at them 5 years later. And speaking of, 22/7 definetly has the same vibes as WUG minus the supernatural thing. |
 |
| Interesting However I hope this doesn’t turn into a Stars Align or Glasslip. |
| Not the best start this could possibly have imo but I still find this very interesting. I hope this gets better and really waiting to hear the songs. |
 |
| That was fucking awful. Terrible voice performance of most of seiyuus, which all are newbies. Boring drama. Dumb and unecessary supernatural element. |
 |
| this brings idol anime to a whole new light. they became idols not because they want to, but because they were chosen by fate. each probably has their own talents but so far, Toda, jun really caught my attention. |
| I was surprised to heard 'sexy' when I am used to hear 'sekushii' in anime. I am assuming that is Amaki Sally's influence. 'Baby' uh. What. Did Sally write this reaction line herself. The manager is sexy. I didn't expect the wall thing to be part of plot. Miu's an interesting protagonist, I like her character design as well. Nice ED song. It's promising actually. Chances to be better than Love Live based on the direction it's going. |
| Of all the new seasonal shows, I did not expect to be disappointed by this one... And I'm a sucker for idols animés, plus the visuals look good and I love the chara design. As a lot of people said, the voice acting is not on point. The animé seems to be overly dramatic from the start which is not a good sign for me, I like some drama but it was too much. I don't understand the choice to make Miu the main character, I guess she will grow out of her sadness but my gosh it was so boring listening to her interior monologue for so long. Then to switch to a sudden wierd humourous screne where all the characters are thrown at the screen with cliché introductions. And the surnatural elements don't blend well with the rest of the episode which is down to earth. I don't know, it feels pretentious and not very inspired, but we'll see. |

| Idol shows like this are the reason why I stray away from watching them (i.e. Wake Up, Girls!) not to mention the entirely new Seiyuus who are just diving into the idol scene. Revue Starlight broke the mold and that's that, but as for 22/7, it didn't seem like they'd start on the right footing. As VAs, the girls of 22/7 are decent to mediocre (like you could tell from hindsight) and worse, NOT when they're performing with their "digitised" voices from the OST. From the selection choice to the "first journeys", everything here isn't what I'd portray of a good (at least decent) idol show, but being in despair and showing off the depressing side while being VERY contrived of its plot (NOT story) is just wrong on all levels. "Obeying society" as it seems without a second thought. For one, Miu, (I suppose) the main character starts off being negative about her own world, if this was Angels of Death (Satsuriku no Tenshi) I'd believe, but it just felt like a lot of push and barely any pull. If anything, her pedestal for being in depression just doesn't give off the same vibes that it's expecting us to symphatize with. Just going to give it the 3-episode rule... |

| lol i guess i'm the only one who loves Miu's voice =D this episode was kinda random ... like that start, first she says she can't talk with others and other moment is showing her as an idol already lol but yam i'll probably watch some more |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |

She was usually the one who gets the "I want to protect" reaction, but here she was presented in such a gloomy way, speaking in such a monotone voice even though she's capable of much more expression than that. I blame the producers for not doing their best to help these girls shine. |

I blame the producers for not doing their best to help these girls shine. There was nothing before as the anime is just beginning. All of the characters were only made by the VA on virtual youtuber or TV shows. Now they have their own script with a story to be told and the characters are fully realized, unlike before. Some_Kyabetsu said: Is 22/7 because they work 22 hours every day of the week? :P They actually are in a better state than many idol groups out there schedule-wise. Their manager Nina is some of sweetest person according to Sally. |
