| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hot day at 765 Productions so they take a trip to the beach. Standard beach fanservice moments with panning shots of them playing in the water. Lol'd @ Yukiho digging in the sand. Chihaya being emo and reading at the beach. As flat as a board. Really loved how Iori kept scaring Yukiho and Makoto all episode, and then they see -it- in the dark and run back. Azusa getting tipsy with Producer and Ritsuko was pretty hilarious. Piano arrangement of the song "i" playing during the talk while everybody is sleeping, sounds really nice. This episode didn't really focus on anyone specifically, it was pretty much about everyone. At the end, showed that Ryuuguu Komachi is going to be in the anime. Interesting. If this means they're going to be performing Smoky Thrill in the anime, I'm all for it. For those who don't know, Ryuuguu Komachi is the unit that Ritsuko produces in the 2nd game, of Azusa, Iori, and Ami, and because of this they're pretty much reduced to NPC status. Didn't get to catch the episode preview for myself, but saw an image of short haired Azusa. I guess this means that she'll be cutting her hair. ;_; It was nice while it lasted. The insert song this ep was "Kami Summer" and the ED is "MOONY", both original songs for the anime. They'll be released in the "Anim@tion Master 02" CD in September, along with all the other songs used in the anime so far. |

Is there anything on this in USA English versions? |
| Takane, Azusa, and shocking Ritsuko have nice bodies and racks. Takane outeating men is funny, how does she keep her perfect figure eating like that, oh well I ask that question about Miki as well with her laziness. Same with Hibiki, nice swimming contest with Makoto and lol at Hibiki catching a fish. Miki in cloudcucoolander mode going into the hamster and the producer's bath, almost thought her towel would drop completely there. Iori is mean but kind of funny scaring the shit out of Makoto and Yukiho. Yukiho digging quite a hole in the sand while 2 kids are watching her in aw. Would have been better if Iori scared her into that hole though. |
 |
| poor chihaya, always hilarious to see her^^. Pretty relaxing to see the girls playing at the beach and pretty fitting for the summer at the moment. oh and nice end, since I didnt play the game,I didnt know about ryugi komachi. It seems that iti is about a new unit. Lets see how this will turn out. |

Hoppy said: You really want to know? Super fast metabolism. Think of the #1 hot dog eating person being a winner. He is only a Japanese with a really small stomach. It's all about the fast digestion he has and so do Miki/Takane most likely. It's DNA only so if you don't have it then you don't have it.Takane outeating men is funny, how does she keep her perfect figure eating like that, oh well I ask that question about Miki as well with her laziness. |

I mean why make a second unit itself less there is use for it. What is this Smoky Thrill you talk about. Is it good? Yes, the 2nd Unit, which is Ryuugu Komachi is a unit led by Ritsuko. this just means She will be responsible managing that group. Much Like Japans Idol group AKB48 where they have the "A Team", "K Team", "B team" and "4 Team. They're still under the same company. Why? Healthy Competition with the Producer's Own Unit.

| Fortunately this time though Azusa will have long hair... I don't think this ep could have been better. What irks me is that many people seem to mistake Chihaya's attitude as depression/being emo, when in reality she just urgently feels that she should be practicing her vocal lessons, and not "wasting" her time playing around. |
Fui said: Fortunately this time though Azusa will have long hair... Nope, if you saw the Next episode preview she cut her hair. This just shows that the basic plot for Idolmaster is starting to take shape. -the appearance of Touma from Jupiter -the assembly of the Ryuugu Komachi unit. Looks like in the next episode the Unit will face another complicated issue. |

That's obvious, it's just fun picking on Chihaya. Yumekichi11 said: OK, OK! So how bad ass is this guy Touma? Is his singing on par with like Justin Timberlake or something like that? Touma is part of Jupiter, they're pretty much the Japanese backstreet boys. AISHITERU AISHITERU |
| Miki's ass!!!!! I liked the relaxing vibes from this episode. |
| ... so which twin won the ice cream? |

| Loved this episode. I bet episode 6 will illustrate how the formation of Ryuuguu Komachi affects the whole company. And I saw Producer will be busy as hell. Since it's probably 9 idols at once compared to the 3 that iM@S2 allows you to do. Oh, even though it's good to explain Jupiter and Ryuuguu Komachi, wouldn't those be considered spoilers? |
 |
MindMaster83 said: Oh, even though it's good to explain Jupiter and Ryuuguu Komachi, wouldn't those be considered spoilers? Yes and No. Currently the appearance of Touma doesn't actually confirm if they will have an official appearance or it was just a cameo. If it really became a spoiler it won't have any major effect on the main plot since we never told any events between Jupiter and the 765 Girls. and it's not like spoiling "he's the killer" in a mystery story. Ryuugu Komachi is confirmed in this episode, so actually sharing facts that is already in the anime but people missed it (the papers on Ritsuko desks) is not a spoiler. |

| Miki at the bath was very amusing with a very quick shot of the top of her butt as she saves the towel from falling. |
 |
| Rewatching, noticed a few more things. Poor Kotori being left out of the beach trip, LOL. And the first hint at "romance" with Producer when Haruka tried to feed him. Also, Ritsuko was humming "Go My Way" while washing her hair, cute. I bet they're gonna keep teasing us with that song until the final episode where they have some giant concert sequence of it, since it is pretty much the most popular song of them all. Miki walking in on Producer in the bath is pretty funny too. Also loving the game BGM they keep putting into the anime. I wonder if the other idols are going to be bitter or just happy for the girls who got picked for Ryuuguu Komachi. I think Miki's probably gonna be a little upset. |
| It's sad that Azusa cuts her hair, but we'll get "SMOKY THRILL" and Jupiter! Yes, please! "Alice or Guilty" and "Koi wo Hajimeyou" are awesome. That means Producer-san is going to make his own group with three idols, like in the game? |

Not possible, because the left out girls will be side characters and that's not a fair treatment. He'll probably going to manage them all not as a unit, but depending on the jobs that he can find for them. |

| Obligatory beach episode get! It was a good one though. So there's the Ryuuguu Komachi unit that has been formed ey? This'll be interesting. It's a nice combo of girls. :) |

Hmmm... if they follow the game timeline and Ryuuguu Komachi gets defeated by Touma and then Producer-san's 9 idols have to win to Jupiter, it is going to be interesting. |

| What a fantastic episode :D One of the better beach episodes I've ever seen, and I'm beginning to pick my personal favorite girls. Looks like the plot is starting to kick off. I kind of prefer that I don't know of the original source materials of anime so I can be surprised :3 |
| Seemed like a fanservice episode. =P Cute episode as usual, I'm absolutely in love with the character designs, the clothes these girls wear are so cute. |

And i found out my fav character Takane has the same birthday as me :D You choose one idol out of nine as the producer(Haruka, Miki, Takane, Hibiki, Mami, Yayoi, Chihaya, Makoto and Yukiho) and another two as supporters. You must produce the idols by doing lessons with them that increase three factors (vocal, dance and visual) by minigames, communicate with them by choosing the right choices like it was a VN and pass the auditions so you can win against the rival. iM@S 2 has Jupiter, SP has Project Fairy and Dearly Stars has a unique idol for each girl as rivals. More or less is a game composed of minigames but most of it is story and choices, so it's like some kind of interactive manga, specially Dearly Stars. That explanation from the beginning applies only to iM@S 2, in SP you choose only one idol and in Dearly Stars you control one of the three idols directly. You can play with Azusa, Iori and Ami in the original game, Live for You! and SP, but not in the second game, because they are your rivals. |

| That was pretty good for a beach episode! I'm really curious about the new project, I haven't played the games before so I'm kind of clueless. XD I wonder how the format will be for the next few episodes? More focus episodes like 2, 3, and 4 or inclusive episodes like 1 and 5. I like both ways, so it doesn't really matter to me.

| Havent I seen this episode before? like in a million other anime's? lol |

| tettette tettettette!! Was this the first time that the "town" theme appeared in the anime, or did I really miss it in the episodes before? |

| The best "beach episode" of all animes, except K-on. |

| 5 eps watched and still don't like it. I though I would enjoying it since I like *cough* K- *cough*. But it seems I were wrong. But I'll stick with it for a while, to see how it is going on. |
 |
| Nice episode I like it more and more, is very relaxing and fun to watch |
 |
| Am I the only thinking Miki was jealous when Haruka is feeding the Producer? |
| I'm glad Yukiho, Makoto, and Haruka is given slightly more screen time then the rest, because they were the original 3 from the alternative series. So far my favorite is Makoto, I've a thing for short hair tomboy girls and more focus on her later would make me happy. Makoto x Yukiho and Haruka x Chihaya? I do want a triangle between Miki x Makoto x Yukiho |
 |
| Wow, am I the only one who's a huge fan of Takane? She has all the makings of a spoiled/elegant ojou-sama, but she's such a weirdo! Needs glasses, competitive eater, stares at the moon instead of sleeping, claims to potentially be a top secret, classified, UFO (?). She's amazing! Instant idol! I really like this show. The girls all have individual appeal, and the songs are fun and catchy. I like that it hints at being a harem without all the cat fights and pining for the main character that usually happen. |
 |
| Love this series, so---much. |
| Even if it's beach episode, it wasn't that baad. Iori's stories were interesting. Especially the last one. xD Takane was totally awesome in this episode. She wtf! |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| The beach episode. Yup. |
 |
| uggghhh.. Chihaya is hard to manage... While Haruka is an absolute angel. It's nice to see Haruka taking care of Chihaya though ^_^ Miki seem like the most lazy yet most gifted of the bunch. Gatha love Makoto, Yukiho and Iori combo. Haruka seem like she have the best personality/mind frame for an upcoming idol. |

| Liking this sort of budding friendship between Haruka and Chihaya. Those are probably my favorite characters so far, incidentally. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| Such a standard episode. Seen stuff just like this dozens of times. It's bland. But, really nice work on having a new ending song every episode. That's ridiculous. |
 |
| Fanservice aside, I thought this episode was a bit more "fun" than the previous ones. Miki made me laugh when she "tricked" those boys into swimming off. |
