Haven't watched the original iDOLM@STER yet but this first episode was pretty good. The atmosphere is unbelievably pleasant, and so are the characters. This might be a fun ride. Btw, I'm loving the producer! It might be just me but I find characters like him pretty cute. He barely talks! Looking forward to more.

A rather mature girl??? Count me in. Rin is gonna be the best gal out of all of them, including the previous show uwu

Uzuki is a pretty typical protagonist character, which I tend to dislike, but she was all right.

I like Rin, but I think the first episode was rather bland. Uzuki felt a bit forced. :>

We'll see how this turns out. :)

Since I'm a fan of the original Idolmaster, I hope this series can make it on the same level as the original. I like the start where they recruit more members and established an Idol.

The Producer seems likable and funny, those stares just gave me a good laugh sometimes XD.

Really love those pictures of the 765 cameo members in the episode. I wonder if they make a cameo in actual person. Can't wait to see more of this :D.

The producer in the idolmaster is better than the old one. Poor fella just can't catch a break. xD Can't wait to see the other recruits. Also, please let this be a 24 or 26 episode series.

Obviously CG has a better start, and I like the current P-san more than the previous one actually.

As expected, Rin is nth cooler after getting animated (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘)

Those 765Pro cameos though; I'm missing them already especially my Ohimechin (╥_╥) I hope we get to see the girls later~

I pretty much had zero expectations for this and ended up pleasantly surprised. None of the girls are super cute or anything, but it's still nice to see a different group of idols for once. And the fact that it has an adult protagonist already makes the show inherently more interesting than 90% of what's airing this season.

I thought this was a pretty good first episode.

Why is the rating so low? I think it should be more like a 7.5~7.7 than a 7.0

All those cameos, especially the 765Pro ones.
I don't like the new P-san as much as the old one, but he seems to be a really cool guy.
Overall a pretty good start, needs more Koume, but I'm pretty excited for Mio.

Producer-san reminds me of older version of Nozaki from Gekkan Shoujo. Therefore my canon is that he quit doing manga (or still does it as side job) and decided to start career in idol industry. Which means he is my favorite character so far.

I also like Rin, while Uzuki feels like Typical Idol Show Protagonist mk 1 - what isn't a bad thing but I do hope for more interesting characters to come up.

am I the only person who thinking that the producer has his own reason why he said that it's because Rin's smile he want to recruit Rin (even though he never saw it)? The producer is a stiff person indeed, but thats not means he can lies easily. Try to watch the intro of this episode again, looks like Uzuki, Rin, and Mio had met producer before this episode.

dont underestimate idolmaster's foreshadowing, seriously. watch imas carefully, and you can see many foreshadowing, lol.


and I think the main problem which will be the theme of this series is... the producer lol. I can sense some hint about Rin and Uzuki haven't trust Producer fully, and maybe other idols too.


5/5 episode. I'm really fan of original idolm@ster, but this is just damn good for episode 1.

I could barely stand the original Idol Master but this might be different. It gives off such a different feeling and the characters are instantly likeable. Both Rin and the producer are just so cute. Quite a solid start for an idol anime.

OMG. Rin is so beautiful! She seems to be be the ice queen archetype, who's nice deep down inside. Appearance-wise, I guess she's the Miki of this series.
To be honest, all I know from the Cinderella series comes from DJ stuff online. Of which most is compromised from porn :p

Yes, finally! I've been waiting for the Cinderella Girls since the first Idolm@ster. Intro is pretty catchy and characters look unique, different than their predecessors.

Tho I miss the old cast and mostly the old Producer. This one is a creepy kind of producer, darn. Still, he's funny so I guess I'll get used to him after few episodes.
And the main girl is practically Haruka so I don't complain.

Awesome thing - 765 Project on billboard. That was a nice thing!
Hope to see them too in one episode - like a idol contest or something of that sort? Who knows! But I'd be precious!

It was okay I guess. Pretty generic first episode but the characters are likeable and the creepy Producer-san got a few laughs out of me. I just hope it goes in a slightly less generic direction in the long run.

After all, I didn't immediately fall in love with the main game's anime adaptation either.

A solid first episode.
I enjoy this first episode more than the first episode of the previous Idolm@ster, which I just watched a few weeks ago.

This producer also seems like a cool guy.

Good first ep. Love the producer here. Can't wait to see more of the girls. Especially those I'm already fond of like Anzu, Mizuki, and Rika.

I'm kinda disappointed that they didn't include the yandere Mayu Sakuma.

From what I read of Yaraon, this is tied for #1 on Amazon not just that it's the highest of the top spots and has kicked even Kancolle's ass in the preorder rankings.

See Here

NND rankings are HOT as well

The protag, Uzuki, is okay. Rin is as boring as a bowl of two week old stale barbecue chips, boring as fucking hell. I can hardly wait until Koume makes a full appearance, and hopefully she has an episode or two mostly focused on her, she is the primary reason of me watching this after all. (Syoko as well, but I can hardly see her having an appearance much at all).
It's gotten to the point where existence itself has become nothing but a meme; an existence that I want nothing to do with anymore.
