----------------------------------------
A show about male idols and talent production...

They didn't waste time introducing them although I have to admit, the character designs looks stale and too similar with some of them. One thing I noticed is that they really tried to make this look flashy. I got mixed feelings about that though.

OMG! The TsukiAni. two unit's leaders! They look more matured now... (I can understand, though, because I heard the anime happens at present time instead of like TsukiAni. where the two units when they first debut). They announced about Tsukino Live and the 4 units featured in this anime is 2nd day. (girls' units are in 1st day w. the two units featured in TsukiAni.) Needs to prepare 4 new songs?

SolidS featured first including OP. Eguchi-san's character, who seems to be the leader, is so cool, even the way to announce the announcement is cool (or should I use "calm" instead?), too.

ED = one of their four new songs. "Ouka Ranman (桜花爛漫)"

Next ep's ED and ep. title is FRIENDS? If following TsukiAni.'s format.

Didn't plan to post any post here but got excited to see Toriumi-san's character in the beginning.

I've been so excited for this you have no idea. I'm such a huge fan of SOARA and their music and I'm so happy I can finally see them animated ^.^

I'm expecting this to go the same way Tsukiuta did which is fine, it was pretty average but I enjoyed it because I liked the characters so much and it's the same with this. SOARA are my favourite and I also really enjoy Growth so I'll be looking forward to episodes centred around them. I also think the animation is a lot better than Tsukiuta's was which is nice.

4 new songs per unit... 4 new SOARA songs... I'm so excited to hear them...

A solid first episode I guess. But wow, that opening was catchy. That song is really, really good!

I was not expecting the rapping in the OP but I like it. All the songs I've heard so far are really nice. Wow, Shiki is actually the same age as me, usual idols in anime are younger. I like them all so far, looking forward to seeing the other groups.

That animation quality... Why...

Was a surprise to see HajiShun but not complaining! We start off with SolidS, nice. Love the ED. Can't wait for my favourite Growth <3

Love it!! Waiting patiently for Soara's turn, Sora~~~

Also to all the people asking why Hajime and Shun looks in this episode, the anime takes place the present time while TsukiAni was during the debut days of Gravi and Procella. It's been what, 5 years since they debuted on 2012. They aged the same rate with the real world, that's how 2.5D idols are. That why you see them much mature in this episode. You'll be surprised how the youngest lineup looks now, especially Ikkun and Koikku :)

Is Fall the season of large group of bishounen anime characters? Jeez. Before it's the anime that's like Touken Ranbu with harem and now it's this one. Haha. Yet again, it has so many characters and it'll take time for me or not at all to get to know each one of them. Good luck to me.

That CGI at the start, though. Kinda bothered me, though the quality of their stage, maaan. It looks soooo CGI than the one in Love! Live! Sunshine!! This anime's CGI is sooooo CGI. Lmfao.

The animation quality especially the scenery was great, though. Especially that part where they're surrounded with cherry blossoms.

I hope this anime will focus on the 4 guys and not all of them. Trying to remember all their names will be difficult for me. Lol.

It was an okay first episode, I guess.

Um... didn't finish TsukiUta when it aired, got tired of the silliness each episode. Maybe this will be better? At least Toshi is playing one of the main characters. Hanae's voice doesn't fit Rikka's character, which threw me off a little bit.

too much CGI and the animation looks weird... especially the faces when they're not talking.

it's ok I guess. It was a weird transition cuz i was just listening to the BTS cyphers so I had to switch from aggressive roasting rap to generic Jpop...

It's not completely terrible, so I'll wait for 3 episodes before deciding if I want to continue it or not.

I actually like a lot the first episode, I think it was pretty "solid" lol

HOWEVER, the voices bothered me, idk if the seiyuus have issues or sth, but I didn't like Shiki's voice

The songs were super good tho, I enjoyed it

I was super looking forward to this and I wasn't disappointed. To top it off HAJIME AND SHUN ARE IN IT??? *Swoons*

(they look different tho. Shun not so much but definitely Hajime.)

I already predict Solids will be one of my favourites (and Soara likely to be last)

I totally did not expect Solids to do that rap opening tho. It wasn't bad but I think it lasted too long (and it's weird asf seeing Rikka rap)

Same. Idolish is next season, but no clue when Enstars will air, I'm so impatient for it.

But agreed! I ended up getting bored of the first one, but will watch this too since I do love idols so much. Maybe the characters here will click with me more!

I got excited to see Shun and Hajime all grown up, I didn’t think they’d make a comeback. I haven’t heard any of the groups’ songs prior to watching this, so I look forward to seeing how they will sound. Weird that I’m more excited about Procella and SixGravi to perform, because I missed them, haha

Hmm... I enjoyed the Tsukiuta, because it was fun and I enjoyed the songs. So far for this one I liked the music and the plot is your basic idol anime, but I am not digging the different animation style. Idk, all the characters looked like exactly same face and sometimes their eyes looked wrong.

The animation is so different to the original art >_< but i don't wholly dislike it, it's similar to the game art and better then the character profiles for the anime omg I thought i'd die when I saw the anime character designs! maybe i'm used to the franchise the voice acting sounded fine to me? idk (also if you think 17 talents is a lot you should try and learn all 40+ talents in the Tsukino production) it's nice to learn more about the characters as I don't have easy access to the drama cds and I can't understand japanese (also too lazy to find trans) www I am enjoying it just because I love all my Alive and SQ children more than lots of things

Finally first episode of ProAni...
I don't know why I was surprised with "Burny" single, even the seiyuu had told the clue... But for having current timeline is nice than Tsukiuta the Animation. My friend just confused with TsukiAni's timeline for first time before I told her. But I guess this one made her confuse too, because even she listening to SOARA's music, she need to catch up story in Drama CD

well even though I still like how Hanae's acting for this. Actually he said that actually it was quite hard for him to voice Rikka.

So far, it's not that bad tbh. I'm not into all that idol stuff, but I can look past that for this show since it's slightly different than all idol shows I've watched. Nothing amazing, but it's alright.

I can see how it would be, and yeah, he's doing a good job. I just don't think he's a great fit for that character. Or, said a better way, I don't think Rikka is the right fit for Hanae.

This first episode felt really lackluster to me. After seeing that the first episode of this premiered, I went back and binge-watched the rest of Tsukiuta that I had forgotten to finish in the past & then watched the first ep of this. I just feel like Tsukipro's characters aren't as interesting... Also, the CGI and animation were worse than Tsukiuta's. They just look WAY too stiff in the opening.
Maybe I'm just not a SolidS person and the rest of the groups will leave a better impression on me. Crossing my fingers!

I honestly feel like Suwabe would suit Rikka more lol but its not a big issue for me.

It was good, what I expected. I liked that we got to see the SolidS boys. I've always thought Shiki/Dai were the same type of character and Tsubasa/Rikka basedon their voices and how they sing in their songs but I was wrong. Dai seems like the kind giant who's quiet, Shiki seems like he has a lot of charisma but he's moody and overcautious. Rikka is the feminine one, a good listener and Tsubasa is the "young" immature one who has family issues and is usually made fun of within the group. Keep in mind, I've never read any drama cd translation and I've only been listening to the songs religiously.

Tosshi sounds fucking cute as Sora. TakeP is bliss, when voicing Shuu. HajiShun cameo was amazing, thank you. KimuryoShun was so extra, which I loved.

OP was good, ED even better.
