This group is really working hard to make things work...

We also got a little bit of Riku's story. Episode felt slightly slower with the narratives. That ending performance though.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR A SAKUGA AND NOT CRAPPY CGI!! Really, the CGI in the opening bothers me SO much....I might make a normal-looking anime opening for the show using the same song. xD (I've gotten good at video editing so xD)

Trigger's CGI performance bugged me too but at least SOME parts were 2D animated. That did help a lot.

As soon as he said "You'll pay anything?" I screamed out loud "HE'S GONNA ASK FOR PUDDING!!!"

Was that a little bit of yaoi bait I saw there? Lol.

Not really a fan of the CGI, they could really do without it, but I know it's hard to do a whole dance routine by hand.

5/5 loved it

Though, i 'm busy grinning and almost brought to tears because I finally understand what they're saying... TwT
I remember stopped playing at this story.. So next episode will be an entirely new thing for me!


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

I've never been this excited over something in my life! I knew full well Secret Night would be in this episode but I still got excited when it started playing. The CGI had some odd parts but for the most part it was nice! I just keep replaying it I'm gonna be honest lol

IDOLiSH7 anime feels like such a dream, I can't believe it's real.

In other news all those Gaku scenes were *ok emoji* nice!

Man the story is really good. Had I not used to play the game, I probably wouldn't have touched the anime. The "simple stimulation" really worked to get everyone motivated. Although really the problem was only a few of them, but it sure lit up everyone's fire. Tenn's words were really inspirational as well, especially with his analogy of ordering omelets at a restaurant.

As for the end of the episode, I do think it's a bit disrespectful for them to accidentally promote themselves after the concert outside the stadium. Of course, they were by no means doing it on purpose and only wanted to dance for themselves because they were itching to do so after the ban, but they're idols now, they need to have more self-awareness of their actions. Irl you can get a lot of antis for this kind of thing... (well idk how idol culture is in Japan)

Episode 4 impacted me quite a bit! The pudding taxi, seeing our favorite scenes being animated, it was just full of excitement!

With IDOLiSH7 singing the opening and TRIGGER singing the ending, it makes the whole show feel great!

I can't wait till other scenes get animated as we watch the episodes online every Sunday!

Everything was really beautiful this ep. And pretty painful.

A tad. xD But they did do Trigger a huge favor; Tenn never would have made it without them! And it was pretty innocent. I hope the consequences aren't too harsh. :/

I've watched this particular episode more times than episode 3 and that might be because of my TRIGGER bias (laughs). Ok I'm not fooling anyone, it's definitely my TRIGGER bias.

I'm really(?) sad that they didn't include the side story of Yamato, Tamaki and Nagi being involved in the bomb scare, because that's like my favorite side story, but alas it's too long.

I feel like I've watched the Secret Night portion a little too many times, but hearing it again after so long, and watching TRIGGER do the choreography made me remember "ah, this is what made me fell in love with this game. A++++ music". I really loved Secret Night when I played it in the game, I still do. Everytime I watch it, I honestly couldn't help myself, but sing along. I really love TRIGGER. Ikou wake me up~

I don't have much to say about the ending. I gusse it feels like it's.... Lacking? I'm not sure, but the new song!!!! Heavenly Visitor, a nice song. A very TRIGGER song. A Very Good Song.

Could tell there was a connection between the groups since trigger was brought up so frequently, didn’t think brothers though. Thought riku was a trainee for trigger but was kicked out

I love Trigger's music! It was a fantastic concert! I'm surprised Ten is Riku's brother! Drama incoming!

The Riku and Tenn twist is one I didn’t expect. I hope they can meet again in the future and discuss what exactly was the reason for Tenn leaving back then. As for the Trigger concert, the music was awesome. I love Trigger’s vibe and the maturity it holds. Tenn’s words before the performance and even the performance itself reinvigorated the members of Idolish7.

I can already sense a little bit of competition later on in the show, but for now I want the members to get back to preforming with a clear head and newly found motivation.

Tenn is Riku's brother. :o That was a surprise.

I really liked TRIGGER's performance. That ending was also pretty cool.
