| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It was okay, they took the concept of idols seriously with the training and stuff. Animation/Character designs reminds me of Anne Happy... The performance was kinda so-so...wasn't too impressed by it. |
 |
| It's kinda Aikatsu! feel when they're at the stage. I like the ending song tho. |
| Kitan~! |
| Where do I start? The characters are likable, Kokona and Yucho are my favorites, the rest are just fine. However, there are so many flaws - It's too short, we have what is a serious, potential dark idol anime 13 minutes isn't enough for such. It's also quite serious, short and serious cannot do in an anime or even a live action TV show -I think it's a bit too dark for it's genre, with WUG it was more of a social commentary which explains it's dark tone, this isn't quite the same. It's also too serious, it's portraying being idol as an Olympic sport or on the level of the military at times, it needs more fluff badly. -The performance is inferior to many other idol anime I've seen, the CG is inferior to Aikatsu Stars and Love Live. A person getting into idols may approve, but someone like me whose seen many of the greats and idol anime that were above average, this one doesn't stand out nor look as good. -Boring live action segment, I'll make note and file it under hybrid anime/live action failures with Venus Project, at least I don't have wait 2 weeks for another episode. Make it full length and stop experimenting with the formula. It has the makings of a "what could've been?" anime. |

 |
| China is going to dominate the anime market |

|
| Where you all watch it? I try to find it in anime streaming sites, but I cannot find it at all lol |
 |
| where did you guys watch this ? i cant find it |
| someone comment on my profile if this is worth watching |

Animation market in China maybe, but not Anime market in Japan. These crap will never sell in Japan and its receiving so many negative responses even before it started airing. Just recall what happened to Sakurasou just because they swapped porridge with Korean soup because of Korean company sponsor. If MAL is a Japanese user only website, I bet this show gets 1-2 rating. |
 |
| This is nothing spectacular but it's better than MOST idol animes 4/5 |
| Where can I watch this with subs? Can't find it :< |
 |
| Damn, I thought this was on CR's list of simulcasts. Hope someone picks it up. |
  |
| I found it with Spanish subs, but I can't speak Spanish :< Hopefully, someone will translate it in English soon cause it looks so promising ._. |
|
| Watching this with comments on was hilarious at the start. Then again if it had turned out to be like that the whole time then it would be one of the biggest mismarketings in the history of anime. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I really liked tha character designs. It's a bit unfortunate that I don't see subs anywhere but luckily I can get the gist of what they are saying. I guess this will be my first series to watch raw ;_; |
 |
| Well it was finally subbed, Took 28 days. xD It was an okay start, I like the characters designs. All the girls look great. The concept of VR performances is pretty cool. I guess this is gonna have a fairly serious tone with the main focus being on the World competition. Hopefully 13 minutes will be enough. What's with the Char Aznable masked character design at the end? |
 |
| What do people find so interesting about idol anime it is bland |
| What are you looking here for |
| WHY IS HALF THE EPISODE SEIYUU CHATTERS WHY IS WATARU APPEARING IN A GIRL IDOL ANIME HAPPY ELEMENTS WHY WOULD YOU BLOW YOUR BUDGET ON THIS WHEN ITS GOING TO END UP LIKE THIS T__________T Trying to get not only the female audience on your side after Enstars but also the male audience with new girl idol animes? I hate to break it to you but it's a terribly difficult market to break into especially with much better, well loved anime/games like Idolmaster and Lovelive. I can only hope the Enstars anime doesnt turn out like this... |
| I'm so confused xD |

| So I don't even know what to say, I'm kinda speechless The lack of sub kinda hyped me in a way that I just waited it to be subbed The show is starting, come to think a bit to AKB0048 but oh my... Booing booing boobs are coming then shower passage so... Sigh :) Dark guy reminded me some guys of the dark organization in Magi if you have seen it The song itself was fine, kinda lame it wasn't subbed but hey, we waited a month for that so I'm going to be thankful The animation seems clumsy in some way, some mouths stay open when there is no fucking lyrics... And I thought it was a full length show, so the seiyuu talking was a bit surprising, should've read more about duration and stuffs From what I watched atm, I don't much more expectations... Seems to be a low cost AKB0048 with lot of fun service, low animation and half duration |

| Wow, I thought miniature hats looked stupid in anime, but to see them in real life... those poor women, they aren't paid enough. Ugh. Dropped. Giving it a 3. I'm not sure why I'm being so generous, maybe the show gave me a brain aneurysm. |
| Did this anime just teach me how to say otaku in Chinese? |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Lol, Char clone in idol show. |
The only good thing from episode 1 is the headmaster voiced by nana mizuki |
 |
| I didn't have any expectations going into this. It wasn't bad, but it didn't impress either. No subs for the 2nd half, but it was just the VAs talking so it doesn't matter. I wonder if we'll get to see more of the "video game" style action like the beginning. The concert wasn't bad either. The CG was a lot better than most anime at least. |
  |
| I quite enjoyed it, (kinda miffed that the subbers didn't sub the seiyuu speech but meh), the song was good, and the characters are nice. Better than Venus Project and Million Doll at the very least, but can't hold a candle to my faves such as Aikatsu and Idolmaster. |
| This was painfully generic and there were literally dozens of times when they copied Love Live! and other idol anime, even in those 15 or so minutes. Character archetypes were so uneventful and And as for a seiyuu part... well, it's kinda different in terms of that they put it before the actual ED but.. there are thousands of such videos running on japanese tvs and online streams that I simply can't see it as something special that benefits this tv show and makes it unique. Half-part through it I became utterly bored. So.. guess I won't be seeing any following episode after this one as I honestly think there would be nothing really interesting or fundamentally different that would warrant watching this anime any further. 4/10 Guess I had wishlisted this anime for nothing afterall. And not even Itou Shizuka can save it. |
| Wait, this was funny as hell. I like it alot. |
Honoka is my Hero! Click Me! |
| Aww, for a moment I thought this would be mecha musume combined with idol. |
 |
| It was an okay first episode, although that seiyuu part was kinda pointless. The character designs remind me of the Love Live! and BanG Dream!, which is a good thing. |
