Standard preparation for the final episode concert.

The Theater have hologram technology, that's some investment.

I've been sold lies why is the best song of the anime only performed by 1 person.

Dreaming! Was a banger throwback though.

When they said about the training camp, I thought it would be the usual spot at the beach.
Anyway, surely, the sound system will break down in the final episode. And they'll sing their song without any instruments.

Imagine that feeling of not knowing all the idol names.
Not sure if we'll get a 2nd season, ironic.
But if we're lucky we might/will get some ova and/or uh



So we had 2 and one song this time. no idea, i'm assuming anywhere from. there's 8 teams in total, so i wouldnt be surprised if we get closer to 10 songs next time, definitely at least one for each team?

Looking at it, the calendar used has 1 dec on a monday. Looking back, the last year with 1 dec on a monday was 2014? Or maybe they just picked it to look nice.

This episode was so cute and fun! And Shizuka is seems way, wayyy happier now, I adore this ❤️

I didn't liked Tsubasa at all, but I love how they handled her personal growth, she was never the focus, we only saw a bit of it in short scenes trough the episodes, so she explaining to the producer how she felt all this time and coming out of nowhere with the 1st solo was unexpected for me ngl, it was great.

Are we gonna get a 40th girl next episode??? I hope so, because than would open the doors for a 2nd season!

btw knowing there is just 1 episode left hurts my heart 😭

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

after all these years yeah i'd be a damn shame if this is just a one and done season we only reached the debut of the theater opening

u149 is most likely gonna get another one due to how well done and popular it was ,then we have shiny colours next year


it takes a lot to gather all these VAs and is most likely the hardest part for why this took so long but even if i gotta wait till 2025 i want more !


that tease gives me hope

LOL @ Tsumugi head-exploding herself cause she had nothing to do but wait. (unlike other girls that had other projects to do)

.

Also... training camp... at the studio that they are already visiting mostly everyday to train... can this really be called training camp?

The only new thing is a "gathering" of the entire group on same day in one place and a sleepover at the studio, LOL

.

BTW... that Hologen AR tech they showed with Tsumugi and a fish without needing to wear anything and is simply controlled from a Laptop... WTF... Idolmaster's world is far more advanced than Real World huh...

Which makes me wonder... are all the previous "spontaneously appear out of no where" 3D effects we've seem in earlier episodes... all just Hologen Tech?

(like back at episode 1 or 2 when the trio singed and the rest of the group appeared around them and everyone somehow can also see the same things...) (so it's not "imagintary" but rather someone at the production was controlling the thing on purpose... which means... the trio's performance was entirely STAGED with pre-recorded 3D Hologens)

(same with Shizuka's singing in previous episode and wings appeared... those were from Hologen Tech, so ppls didn't "imagine" the wings cause of her immersive singing... it was technology...) (the 765PRO studio feels kinda SUS now...)

.

Hmm? who was the light green hair girl that walked pass Producer and gave off some sort of sparkly aroma? lol

Also, I thought the first group was the "Team First", but they started off with Team Sixth? HUH?

Then they goes to Tsubasa? Interesting choices.

(also, again... Team Fifth is no where to be seen, they're literally completely skipped in the series... the only one we've seen is Serika with her "papa" issues, everyone else on Team 5 doesn't seem to get any screentime)

.

And... looks like there's going to be an issue with the "equipment" AGAIN... like they have in EVERY SINGLE IDOLMASTER SERIES.. What's this? a Tradition now? LOL

This line highlights my concern with the anime. There's just really not enough time to do all the things it feels the anime wants to do. One of the most critical elements missed is time spent between all the idols. I presume the intent is to present them as one big family, but the anime hasn't really been able to establish this as much. They've had one rushed group event at the beginning, and after spending time in the segmented units, they're all finally coming back to see each other...although I'm certain some of these idols have yet to be shown in the same room yet. This is particularly bad with the latecomers Tsumugi and Kaori, who most certainly have not met a large majority of the cast yet.

These big moments, ranging from Shizuka's solo to these big get togethers, just don't feel earned. I don't fault the show, I just fault the circumstances. I really want to get invested, I really do. I feel bad for the teams that had their debuts off screen. I feel bad for the idols who've barely had any impact or screen presence. It was horrible seeing Sayoko and Karen called upon to give their opinions during the 4th episode's group argument over having an impromptu live. It felt like the show was trying their best to have them involved, but what they heck were they supposed to contribute at that moment? An awkward comment restating the already known awkwardness and confusion present? Million Live really, really just needed more time.
