| Hmmm somehow I don't feel anything at all to the other girls.. Like seriously, they're like fooling around most of the time and they're not even trying seriously to become an idol.. Why Anzu even there if she dislike work anyway? The strike scene also seems unnecessary. For Miku's character development? PFFFTT I do like the concept of having each girls with different quirks in their personality though, but they're seriously need to pick up the pace.. I don't want to end up dropping this series tbh.. |

| I can understand what other people say here, but sincerely, this anime is just pure paradise for a fan of the game. Congrats to the idols that got voices this week <3 I really wonder why in the world they didn't make different endings like in the previous iM@S though ): I want to see Minami's stickers... |

| I hope they give every girl a chance to shine, because after 5 episodes, I'm favoring less than half of the team and most of them just felt like a waste of screentime. I'm sure things would get better in the future but for now I rather see the other professional singers in action more. |
 |
| Narration by the air of a lot more fun than the previous episode, relaxed atmosphere and nothing marred by tragedies which so changing context. I hope, however, that the narrative in the future become less comedy and more serious. Plot that progresses in a linear fashion, not bad; drawings of good quality, scenarios very well made, good A1! |
 |
| Was that a nod for Girls' Generation? Man, the producer was socially awkward as fuck. This whole episode felt pointless tbh since it could all be resolved if the producer had just told them earlier. I mean it's not like he's an inexperienced manager, surely he ought to know how to handle his artists. |

Zetsuei380 said: TripleSRank said: Was that after character development, or was it meant to be part of the character development? I view heavy drama (or, worded differently, drama for the sake of drama) to be a form of fanservice, so I'm pretty lenient about it if there's some decent justification. In this case part of the problem was thanks to Miku not being fleshed out as a character. She isn't even two-dimensional at this point: Her catgirl trait and her persistence completely consumes the entirety of her character. That's not good if she is indeed a primary character. The other part that contributed to this is the lack of setting context, at least as given by this series. If this is the sort of world where idols can go around goofing off all the time and get away with it, that needs to be made more clear somehow. When contrasted with the seriousness of the marketing and concert preparations, Miku's childish behavior just doesn't fit. It depends, most of the time they used drama for character development and others after development. The big problem is that the ones that used drama as development didn't get enough time for us to care. Adding to the fact that the subject of those drama were pretty minor really did not help. The reason for so little time is spent on them is because they tried to introduce all of the characters in the FIRST episode . The original series was made for the fans of games who already know the characters, leaving those new to the series confused. Honestly the fact Miku didn't get fired didn't really bother as much as others. I often chuckled at people expecting realism in an idol anime (especially Idolm@ster). Idol animes in general (except Wake Up Girls) have always sugar coated everything and are not accurate representations of the cutthroat nature of the idol industry. Like I said, it's one thing to sugar-coat it or have an idealistic setting, but this was more jarring than anything. There needs to be context for this sort of thing to be accepted; any form of fiction is assumed to be like reality unless noted. It's why people can accept that Superman can fly, yet are skeptical that his workers never recognize his face or voice at work. Making a strike and causing a scene places the show in the context of reality, even if it's an idealistic version of reality. If they're going to treat the idol job seriously in one context, it should be treated seriously in another. |
| The cast seems to get more irritating each week. The events this episode...seriously? Going on strike? Well...there goes my suspension of disbelief. Even for a setting as idealistic as The Idolm@ster, that crossed the line. I understand Miku's grievances but considering they're working for a big and well established company, that level of unprofessionalism is bit too much. I enjoyed the original and I really want to like this too. Which is hard when everything that is supposed to make an idol anime good has been so poorly done. |

Hoppy said: Well, tbf they're still on their 5th episode. As for me, idolmaster cinderella girls have a better start than the first one considering almost half of the first idolmaster isn't even an idol show, it's a random slice of life with idol background.The previous Idolm@ster is better and has a solid cast. |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| Miku was super irritating this episode. I understand how she feels but she took it way to far. So far, I couldn't sympathize with her. Anzu was pretty funny this ep. How she perked up at the word "strike" got a laugh out of me. Ranko is probably my fave out of the girls who aren't debuting. The rest are pretty meh. Kirari's voice is annoying as hell. Anya is cute as ever. |

| Cringed hard because of Miku. Hate the Cat girl and all her Nya~~'s She deserves no sympathy for being a spoiled and impatient child... No problems so far with the rest of the cast.... Honestly only watching because of Ranko, Rin and Anzu. Mainly Rin though... |
| Well, this episode show which idols are the spoiled brats. Honestly I don't consider the girls who went on strike as idols because they are too immature and don't know what patience is. Girls like Shibuki Ran from Aikatsu would make those girls who were on strike know the real meaning to hard work. The bad thing of having so many characters and very few episodes, is the lack of character development. Rin's group is quite interesting. New Generations as the unit name, not bad, I like it. |
 |
| I wasn't fazed by Miku's strike stunt since it only lasted for a few minutes lol... in fact her speech and her teary face has turned me into a fan.. she's adorable. Though I wouldn't say she's in my top 3 in the anime... those spots are reserved for Anya, Rika and Uzuki~ |
| Anastasia was looking really cute with those Cat Ears. The Name 'New Generations' sounds good. |
 |
| Man these girls are annoying. Like theres no unity, lots of jumping to conclusions and stupid n pointless drama. I much prefer original idolmaster girls over these, half of them look the same. Honestly its such a waste of beautiful animation when the script is meh. I can bear some of them tho which is. reassuring. And producer is the best. I love, would marry. |
 |
| I put this show on hold for over a year and picked it up now for the im@s memes. This episode was kinda cringy, but I do like most of the idols even if they're walking archetypes. |
| Working hard to not get results really gets frustrating so I can understand how they feel, thankfully looks like things will get well soon. |
 |
| Lol that's one of the worst protests I've seen |
 |
| That protest in the beginning was funny. And sure, they went into a serious strike later, haha. "I finally won, nya!" Aww. :3 The Nyan-nyan unit. <3 Nya overlorad. I guess New Generations is an ok unit name. |

| Hm.. It seems managers and stuff have big plans for Mio, Uzuki and Rin.. Looks like we'll have some problems.. Pressure will be big.. And others who are not getting their projects are displeased too.. Hm.. So lewdness is actually stable trait of Rika.. Interesting to know.. Well.. Good thing producer was near and they managed to talk things out.. But yeah.. |
